Weird Fear and a Humble Request

-

One admission. I have this weird fear of entering a ladies washroom accidentally. And then getting a sound thrashing from all the ladies, fultoo Hindi film ishtyle. And with the advancement in ladies footwear, i dont want to imagine the blows. So, before entering any washroom I check the door at least a couple of times to verify. But, it was all right with the older ones displaying 'GENTS' and 'LADIES' in full glory. It used to make my work and life easier.

But, that fear has increased leaps and bounds due to my inability to understand the symbols placed on the swanky washrooms that adorn the various new-age buildings. No, seriously I am never able to make head or tail of the men/women symbols or the biological symbols placed at the more scientific ones. Why cant we have those innocent 'LADIES' and 'GENTS' or 'Sirf Purushon Ke Liye' back? What is the need for all the geometrical symbols and all?

Ok, I suggest a compromise. You keep those weird symbols but at least get back the 'GENTS' and 'Purushon Ke Liye' tags back!

Plllleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Cheers,
HP

he he he....good one. It certainly scares me too, the thinking that by mistake I might land in the wrong room and ya the way they put signs it becomes diffcult to understand at times.

We can involve TV(Tamasha Vaale) today news network people, I mean Aaj Tak and India TV(Tamasha Vaale) for our help, imagine Aaj tak news reader blabbering,

"Bhartiya purshon ki trasdi ka ant hona hi chahiye, bechare maasoon gam ke maare purush itni mehnat karne ke baad unhe yeh bhi dhyan rakhna hota hai ki kahin woh galat shauchalya mein to nahin pravesh kar rahe hain"

Waise I am thinking of writing on the news people on the lines of "My new business plan" mocking at the prince story, inputs invited.

About your new business plan, you keep having these plans. Well, when is one going to fructify :-)

Saw a video at the below linked blog. Real cool video which depicts a debate in a school in Pakistan. The debate is on the nuclear tests conducted by Pakistan. More such debates at the ground level and more interactions would help the coming generations to live in peace. Enough of my blabber. Below is the link. http://crawls.blogspot.com/2006/05/future-certainly-looks-promising.html/ Cheers, HP

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

First heard this song when Vinod asked me for a video of the song. And got hooked instantly. Green Day is one of the better new bands currently. Come to think of it, there are very few good bands going around. Or, should I say very few famous bands ruling the roost now. We have Coldplay, Matchbox 20,Arctic Monkey and a few others and these too are not like that they have universal appeal and whose songs stay on the top of the charts for long. Compare this situation with the ones in the 60's,70's and the 80's. Then, the bands that were famous like Beatles,Doors,U2,Pink Floyd and many such others had an universal appeal and they are still among the perennial favourites for ppl in colleges to do cover versions. Anyways, enough of my stupid ramblings. I dont even know what I am talking about. When I had decided to write a post about this, I had lots of things to say but now, I am feeling lazy, so I am just gonna post the lyrics for this song. Maybe, sometime later I will do a f...
