elevator mystery

Well we moved to our new building in foster city a few months back and my office is on 6th floor. Like any other normal lazy guy I take elevator couple of times a day, and I think out of 4 elevators, one works the hardest, u press the button and 7 out of 10 times this elevator which is second one to the right would reach to u, ready to serve you, I wish there was a way for me to reward this elevator and set it as an example for other 3 lazy elevators to learn.
Another thing i noticed, while I am waiting for the elevator to come up, more often than not the one behind me shows up, believe me, its never the one in front of me, and probably not the one to my right or left.. its always the one behind me.. no matter which one am I looking at. am so bedazzled by this mystery that i thought of writing it up.. I have a medical checkup due later this month, will let you know if its me ;)

Death Cab For Cutie

They've been around for 10 yrs i guess and there aint a lot of poeple who would recognize them till yesterday and now suddenly like everyone knows them. It all paid off with 2 Grammy nomination. I think 'I'll follow you into the dark' is well composed and sung, my vote for it, i really feel happy when talent comes up after a long struggle and get the fame they deserve.

wedding nightmare

i wrote almost 200 lines of this blog and before i could save it the blue screen demon wiped it all out :(, let me try and recreate it.

It all started when i admitted to my parents that am planning to marry this girl i have known for a while, though they agreed, things didn’t go well between us and we wrapped it up. Now my parents know that i intend to get married and they are scanning all north Indian Brahmin girls in TOI matrimonial section. So what if i take that route, first, our parents would go for a horo match, then they'll talk about each other family and values. Last thing in the list would be for me to meet the girl for few minutes and come out with my decision, by then if everything else works out, pressure would be so much that i wont be able to say no, even if i wont even know how she looks behind that makeup she got from around the corner beauty parlor, doh?. Imagine, I agree and we get married and then next morning she, after taking a shower, is sitting in a group of same age women, now’s the real problem, how would i recognize who my wife is? 'cause the girl i saw till now (and that’s twice, first time on the day i had to decide and next time on the day of our marriage) aint wearing that makeup anymore, and i cant figure out which one did i get married to.

I have a good american friend I work with, he is married for 5 yrs, has a 6 yr old daughter, was living with his gf for 7 yrs when they decided to get married and by that time their daughter was already one.
Offcourse that aint gonna happen to me, but atleast God would i get a chance to know my girl a little better than a few dates?

In between all this, there's an escape route I am planning, if i can somehow dodge this on my next India visit in March and enroll for an MBA by Nov of next year, i may get lucky for another 3 yrs.

I am addicted to Blog

I know i have to get up at 5 in the morning to be at work by 6:30 on an official call, its so late that i should have been on bed like 2 hrs back but am so addicted to Blog that there came a new idea and i had to start my laptop to write this up.. Atleast the basic idea then i can elaborate it later, So the funny new topic,
When its time to get married (scary thought), all of us has the image of that perfect girl or guy and try to find the closest match to that image, and one day out of the blue with some compromises and little tweaks to our imagination we settle down on something (someone) first few months go pretty smooth and then one day you wake up next to that person only to find that she/he wasn’t the one you wanted. Unfortunately, you didn’t pick her/him from Costco with an option to exchage after a few trials. So whats different in what u thought and this person actually is?
First thing u'll notice is that the guy farts, now where the hell did that come from, that dream guy on that white stallion never did that, aaw. For guys, the girl has an annoying hysteric laughter in contrast to their dream girl wrapped in white wedding gown with feathers of white pigeons and a smile that shines and laughter thats like sound of sweet music.
And then she doscovers that the guy aint that neat (offcourse he's a normal guy and we are not clean, and those who are and you get one of them, may God be with you), and he finds out that she don’t prepare food the way his mom does (well isn't she a different women?)...
Then

Black, Brown, Red, White and Yellow (in alphabetical order)

I guess I covered all skin color we categorize human race in (offcourse there are flavors like tan and others, but lets consider these for time being). And i was wondering which color do I like, though the answer would be all of them, but if i have to pick one what would it be? So let me take a litmus test (i was pretty bad in chemistry, though my sis is a PhD, whatever) and see which one do I really like.
So first one (again not in order of preference but in alphabetical), Black, lots of positives, more pigments means better protection from sun's ultraviolet rays. The color looks lot richer and healthy (and I have attraction to it, but am not gonna count that here). Personally i feel blacks are spontaneous, more natural and very talented.
Brown, again attractive rich color, hard working people, intelligence is how i associate them with, one thing i hate about Browns is that they further distingush their complexion as White, Fair, Wheatish and Dark, I mean comeon, does it really matter? You are Brown and thats the truth, live with it and don’t try to judge by the color of skin. Brown people with a little fair complexion (not really) consider themself superior or better looking (excuse me).
Red, dont know much about them, except that this land belongs to them. I think they are very hard working, something like Browns.
White, a lots' been said about this color and is universally accepted to be the most attractive. I need to admit, white are a very thoughtful, and that’s one big reason for sucess of this race.
Which brings me to the last one, Yellow, quite intelligent and hardworking but i find them so very obsessed with white that I just don’t get it.

So my conclusion, my favourite color of skin would be "BLACK".
