Summer Song

The heat is getting on my nerves now. When I go back to my flat in the night, its no less than a hot furnace ready to roast me alive. I happen to have a flat on the 5th floor, which also is the top most floor of the apartment. Purchasing a cooler was a necessity.

Eagerly waiting for the rain gods. I know its a bit early to expect rains, but you never know. Anyways the weather hasn't been following a fixed course lately with rains witnessed in February.

Coming to the news makers. Satch will be performing in Bangalore today at palace grounds. Yesterday, I saw one of his LIVE recordings, and was amazed to core. This guy is unbelievable when it comes to electric guitar. The way his fingers move on the fret board is mind-boggling. He can make it talk/cry. I am gonna miss him in action. Why God? Why do they organise rock shows on weekdays?

"Summer Song" happens to be my favorite song by the "Lord of The Strings".

Anyone saw him LIVE in action?

Kaiowas

Traffic sense is the least common of all senses in Hyderabadis. People here simply refuse to follow the traffic rules.

Question : How many guys can an auto rickshaw take?
Answer : Well, depends on the city you are from.

Can you believe that stuffing around 10 guys ( well grown, not mal-nutritioned) in an auto is very common in Hyderabad. Six guys in the back and four guys including the driver on the front. Yes, four guys in the front. ( Infact once I saw five guys in the front, three sitting on the driver seat and two clinging to the auto on one leg ) I am sure you won't believe it, you have to visit Hyderabad to believe it.

And need I mention the rash drivers of the QUALISs/SUMOs engaged in dropping the call center junta. Add to it the inherent apathy towards the poor traffic police, things go really wild on Hyderabad roads.

What we get in the end is a BIG MESS.

And you guys know whats the best part? After driving here for couple of months you also become one of them. Changing lanes, whenever you want. Pressing brakes, wherever you want. Hurling abuses, to whoever you want.
