Friday Night . And what do I see . Or what do I think of .\

 

Fortunately or Unfortunately just one thing . I may sound like a complete drunkard as I write this . But today is one of the few Friday nights when not a single drop of Alcohol is flowing in my veins ... except for maybe the last week's session ... And the week before that ... and so on ...

 

Something looks very romantic about these pics ( See below ... ) . Beautiful bottles :) And even more beautiful content . With the power to make u visualize the most beautiful things :)

 

Anyways lets stop this crap . Another great weekend arrives . And this time , believe me it really feels great . After pushing thousands of lines of the crappiest possible code onto the production server . AND specially since it did not ( apparently ) ruin anything . As of now .

 

Anyways , I am really looking forward to the weekend . When the wanderer in me comes up , and I head somewhere out of the blue .

Anything , Anywhere ,Anythime . And I guess its really needed . From gulping beer on top Singhad fort at 3am in the night . Or getting bitten by mosquitoes in the IITB Boathouse next to the lake . Frankly spkin I myself would probably not have been so enthusiastic about this kinda stuff . Fortunately , I am gifted with some of the greatest ppl in the world as my frenz :)

And as the weekend will come to an end what will I start seeing again ??? an LCD Screen ... . Then come the 5 days when  the only thing I see eye-to-eye is a bloody LCD Screen . In the office . And then when I return home , again I invariably find nothin more simulating than ... another LCD screen ...  .

 

 

 

 This is the view from my office window. Nice , no doubt . And maybe somewhat similar to what people in urbanized places across the world  might find when they look at their city skylines and landscapes . Quite enchanting when you see it at least the first few times . Imposing towelike structures , reconstructions of some greek era , hills on one side , lake in the background .

But the biggest difference .. as compared to the snapshot of any other Indian city area is the surreal symmetry of the architecture .

Aligned . The style of the buildings is such that they just blend into each other . Giving the entire landscape a personality of its own .

 

Now - after 8 months - when I look through the same glass - things are different . I feel that maybe somethings missing . The Chaos .

The Disorder . 10 different buildings , 10 different styles . Each of a different height and color . Something like what exists on Marine Drive

and South Bombay . 20 floor mod looking hotels on one side . Grand buildings of the University campus close by . And some of those old

dilapidated British Raj ke time ki buildings which some folks are often so proud of ... and many of them exist only coz these guys want to preserve their 'heritage' and the 'charm' ... dude may i remind u the brits were not necessarily our heritage ..... :)

Anyways ... each of those has its own personality ............ and at times that seems a bit more interesting .
