Interesting read. All the best!

After a heavy dose of articles on religion, islam, india-pak blah blah, this one comes across very refreshing and funny.

``Listen to PF, eat fruits from the jungle, roam around in the hills, smoke grass and be merry``.

Ha ha. M has got the right attitude. However, I would take 50 Cents and couple of M.S. Subulakshmi instead of PF. Never was into PF, GnR types and was surprised to see that they still play PF in the bars in B`Lore.

Dear CHOWK Editors:

Did you publish this one because the writer is an electrical engineer?

*gushing*
gawd that was wonderful! i loved it dude. your description of that mirage...made me picture it as if i was seeing it myself.
about that `existential angst`...i think its the former. u have this agnst coz u exist. u have dissatisfactions, u have troubles, u want to revolt. as long as ur ALIVE, u want to change urself and the world around u for the better.....
or u simply decide to let life pass u by...trampling u in the process, or maybe showing unbidden kindness in moving u to the kerb, while u satisfy urself with assertions that `he didnt really mean that...he might be upset about something` until nothing troubles u anymore.
u might as well keel over and die for all the contribution you make in this state of emotional siberia. i think its equivalent of being dead.

tell me something, is being in a software house really that bad? :(
should i change my line and study something else while i still have time? or do i plunge into this dark abyss knowing i wont be good at it and will be unhappy anyway and still unable to work at something else?

about nadiya.....dont u think something is wrong here? if u cant discuss vats on ur mind wid her, vats the use?
or maybe she was just chattering away coz her female intuition told her your are in `one of those moods` and instead of sitting in awkward silences or her NAGGING you to tell her vats wrong she just decided to take your mind off your troubles! excellent theory even if i do say so myself!

once again....great piece :)
toodles!
