Having to zip your mouths shut after the first bell..
Having to take the timetable everyday..
Having to neatly iron my uniform in the morning..
Butterflies in the belly before every single elocution..
Fear of head-mistress doing the rounds...
Shaktimaan!!

Nano,Petro,Traffic... You get the idea?

Yes one preach-max post.But seriously guys read it and consider it. Hoping comments follow. The recent hike in petrol prices would have come as a big blow for most people.It sure will leave a huge hole in every pocket. I dont follow the oil economy or the inflation-fighting steps taken by the government but what I do realize is one thing.There sure is an upside to this. Ok before you jump and try reading the last para to see the tone and proceed to comment, let me assure you .I would be as happy as anybody else if prices of so many things fell.What I want you to do is understand a little observation I made. Usually, when I have some place to go in namma Bengalooru ,there would be ideally 2 choices - the bus or my own transport (ideally because the LL is still in the waiting :( . ). I am quite sure this thought process goes on in most peoples minds.They would think about the availability of buses to that place and their regularity.They would then find out the distance they would be ...

Kyunki...

No matter how many times they have featured on 'Things I Hate The Most' on Slam-Books and personality questionnaires, I have always been awed by the rich variety of 'saas-bahu' teleserials aired during prime-time. Why? Here is ,in no way an exhaustive list of their achievements( Due to obvious reasons I consider all the saas-bahu dramas to be a single identity) : The net worth of the jewellery in one scene overtakes the GDP of Eritrea. The costumes worn by a single person on one show beats the lifetime wardrobe of an average, sane mortal. The Bindis of a lucky select compete in size with Kosovo. The only set-up , fiction,non-fiction or whatever, where an older person plays the daughter if not grand-daughter of the younger one. The wiliness of the average bahu puts to shame even the most dangerous KGB spy. The make-up used for one complete episode can 'decolorize' entire Africa. The only family probably in the history of time to have 8 generations in one ...

The Rupee.

Its not just 1/42.875 of a Dollar. Our Rupee coin is so much more than that. 1 Caramel Eclairs. 2 coffee bites. 4 Soft Spots (Whatever happened to them?!) 16 village peppermints! 60 seconds from the Yellow Box. 100 SMSes for some. The topping to the 100,500 or 1000 in an envelope at a ceremony. The savior from a ceremonial kick from the bus conductor. An hour for the homeless. A house for an Eritrean. :) An ugly jingle to your stride. An embarrassment to a '7-figurer'. The trophy of a grocery store bargain. Almost match-decider in a World Cup Final. A Gem for a Romanian numismatist. Horrible worthlessness at the Mall. A well-deserved tip for The Cocky Waiter. An extra Sweet Puri at the chaat place. Oh Yes,have to put this in - A MASSIVE 2 more MB of web usage for BSNL :O What else?! Fill in more guys............
