THE MYTHS of a MYTHICAL LAND !!!

Hi.. guys.. quiet some time after I wrote something.. Well now I am SHARING something what My friend had to say after almost 3 months since he's been to AMERICA.. Let's see what he's gotta say

PS : The copyright has been obtained... ;-)

So here it goes..............

Myth 1
Booze is cheaper than water..only in dreams would that be true...booze
is very expensive just like in India..no party there gives free
booze..in fact like ASAP there is an abbreviated term there..Party at
9..BYOB...it means bring your own booze..

Myth 2
Americans don't drink water...they drink a lot of water..outside every
restroom there are water filters for people to drink water.

Myth 3
American refrigerators are filled with cool drinks and ice cream....no
comments....

Myth 4
Prostitution is legal in every state of US...wrong... in Minnesota (where he stays)
prostitution and even solicitation of it is banned..

Myth 5
American couple keep kissing on the road whenever they feel like...in
his stay till now he haven't seen anyone kissing on the roadside or
anywhere..

Myth 6
Indians are smart...Americans are dumb and lazy..biggest
misconception..they may not be smarter but they are very
hardworking...most of them do two jobs, and save that money to come
and study in college...they value their degree and work very hard for
it...and so unlike in India if a class is canceled students are not
happy...they expect a genuine reason for the class being canceled..

Myth 7
Every American girl is ready to sleep with u if u take her on a
date....there is only one response to it, BS(bull shit)

Myth 8
All American women look good...not true...

Myth 9
Americans don't respect elders... Americans respect everyone....the
elder respect the younger and the young respect the elder..the
respect is not hierarchical but mutual...

Myth 10
There are MCD, subways and KFC's everywhere u see....i am pretty
positive that Bangalore has more MCD, subways and KFC's than
Minneapolis (the place where he lives, and its one of the biggest cities in
northern USA)....

I think now the place what we (who has not been dere) thought it all looked like in movies.. is not the same, after all.. for a moment after reading that.. I even doubted whether he was talkin abt AMERICA !!!.. but as they say some facts r stranger than fiction..

Well I think there might be more than this to come...

Neways I thank SAVIO JAMES.. for bringing out all these so nicely to us.. and for who doesn't know him.. he's a MS student in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics Dept at the University of Minnesota, USA, who has been my batch and dept mate a very good & close frnd in my college life..

VUVUZELA

Like the veteran French Striker, Zinedine Zidane proclaimed, “There’s two things that will be remembered from this World Cup – the winner and the fact that the French team refused to attend the training session ahead of their match with South Africa.”, I self proclaim There’s two things that will be remembered from this World Cup by me – the winner and VUVUZELA..

This thin, long guy with a wide mouth and unbearable shouthing frequency has created a revolution by the world cup in South Africa.. reports say that chinese used to blow it and the locals who started making it 25 years ago din't make enough profit until the ball kicked off in the first match at Johannesburg soccer city stadium.. now the production is so huge that people are takin orders from countries like France to sell this WEAPONS OF SOUND DESTRUCTION. They are expecting this thing now to be an integral part of all major sports events to come.. atleast that's what the forecast says..

The voodoo sellers made a nice piece of work.. which i enjoyed.. but the fact is that people are not much aware of the long term effects this thing can make to their sound analysin ministry.. A sad part was even FIFA is not ready to ban it in the world cup although there were pressures from the players.. the thing what FIFA should understand is that a spectator who can't take it, can atleast shut their ear drums with a ear gear or sumthn.. but a player on the field can't do it.. if the match is really interestin.. the intensity is proportional and they can't roll the ball with a set of headphones on them.. and another thing is like the FIFA admitted there is something worng with the JABULANI used, now, with it's uneven bouncing and unpredictable time of flight.. they'll later have to admit for not banning the vuvuzelas too..

Friendship

A feeling of closeness and secureness.. the everlasting relationship.. this kind of feeling is, the one, which each of us would crave for.. an exotic mix of all this is conveniently know as FRIENDSHIP. Friends are the greatest assets to one another.. who will be there in our ups and downs.. hmmm.. well let's think about three childhood frnds meeting after a long time.. that moment of confluence on the river of frndship will be like somethin to cherish.. a true moment of animation.. one might not know how to react out of happiness and anxiety.. which makes it real grandeur one..

Now, after they meet, each one finds out the other 2 have changed over all.. the way they react.. things they give priority etc.. and/or even, at times, how they see each other.. which might makes one's self say.. Is that you ..? come on.. u gotta be kiddin.. this ain't the person i know.. etc.. Would it make the others feel like pulling out themselves from the pool..? hmmm.. it might happen.. and they feel like it was much better in good old days.. but will that affect their frndship..? Well... that's somethin tough to say at the moment or may be after some time.. when they do something together and one of them betrays the either.. how will the feeling be..? it'll be like a state of hell.. total dejection.. totally outta self control.. with a guilt feeling.. how could he do this to me..? and in the worst case will the others forgive him..? too many questions eh.. well the answer should be a bold YES, because human beings change due to the ever wanting greed n environment they are in and this can come into a crossing with the frndship.. but should never collide with the feelings what is there for each others.. when one might do something wrong.. it would not be with the intension of keepin the other one as a scapegoat.. but many a times it's like that and after a long time only, do the doer realize what he did was unworthy. So a heedful thinking is always advisable.. as relationships r priceless and if it all things happen like that.. there is always a place for forgiveness, as frnds are always and will, remain frnds for ever

Reloaded

After a gap of almost 2 months.. I sit down again to jot something that's undulating through the ever empty space of my mind.. Am I not writing due to paucity of time or nothing's happening around me..? neither of them are valid as far as I am concerned.. then what is it..? laziness..? hmmm... nope.. even I have been digging into this.. when one's mind comes idle.. for a period.. he/she is thrown into a trench of hopelessness .. which increases in dept as long as it's idle, and to come out of it.. A correct ratio of imagination - action is to be injected .. Although I am not an expert or somewhere near a rookie.. um just verbalizing what I think and may be even what I have experienced at times.. So u might now start thinking whether I was idle for this long.. well may be I was.. but as long as you are able to catch hold of the rope of imagination.. it's always not too late.. Is this a new theory in psychiatry..? or is it um getting reloaded again...

Solace

Takin as an example, Love, a rare and vicious combo of pain, hurdles and the divine feeling for one another, between the lovers (which will only bear fruit with god's blessing, that goes without saying), has been there ever since man was created by god or came into existence in this world (or, since they were evolved from their predecessors according the theory of evolution, as some believe). If everything goes well.. then the story might have a happy ending with no, much of time

But what if, it's the other way around..? a pair with all the dreams and ambitions built upon the base or foundation called "hope" suddenly collapse when a calamity in the form of parents or relatives or even the society as a whole come..? will they withstand it..? Then in that case what are they going to do...? has any one thought of himself or herself in such a kind of situation..? not only in case of love, but in general.. when you have build up your own dreams and suddenly a bash takes it all away.. what will you do..? There comes conscious of ones self.. If the situation is more than that one can take.. some might execute Quitting.. others will turn into wrongfulness.. or the ones with dignity and self respect will face it and takes it as it comes without knowing what they'll encounter later.. and I am sure every living being at one point of his/her life will or would or are going through this stage now..

At this point comes our role of a consoler as a person, and i don't mean just verbal consoling.. something more than that.. now it can even strike you, what will i gain outta it.. let it roll by itself.. Well.. This can be hard sometimes coz everyone is on the shore and you alone will have to reach out to them trapped in the sea.. but as long as u have faith in yourself.. try out to the fullest.. which might change the destiny itself, of a person.. as we think how much strong a person can be at a point even they will feel the bravery is leaking out of them.. and at that point what they'll need is just a person like you.. So it can at times be, just, a few words or even a smile to the least.. and tell them they r not alone.. which can have drastic changes.. more than we think.. because as a famous quote says, never judge a book by it's outer cover.. u might never know what is scribbled inside.. So make sure that u have that friendly consoler inside you and that you are ready any time to lend it to anyone irrespective of caste, creed etc.. and make life a lovely journey for you and the others..

Twitter Flitter

I am a member of Orkut and Facebook... and now Twitter too.. lmao.. Thanx to Shashi Tharoor.. The Honourable Minister of State for External Affairs of India.. who made this possible. The credit goes to and only to our new Indian HERO who is again on the verge of controversies and "Warnings". If the TWITTER service would not have been there.. Tharoorji would not have been able to carry out his public service to the Indians this effectively. Now the Indians and the Indian Govt are in debt to the brains of Twitter for despatchin their Message to the people uninterrupted. Tharoorji is in the ministry of his own world but his esteemed presence is felt here in India. For him his superiors and others ministers and ministeries are mere dummies.. and he is dancin to the foreign vibes

The new game plan of "catch me if you can" directed and controlled by Tharoorji and Krishnaji in the the Indian External Affairs ministry is goin on well.. The cat and mouse game might be a source of entertainment for the others.. neways.. The saga of tharoorji continues and lets hope for more twitter tales soon.. stay tuned..
