New years resolutions and stuff…

mmm… actually I have nothing to write about… but I did not want to give up on my new year resolutions so soon… I want to blog often… more often than I am currently doing. This is definitely not going to be a list of resolutions that I want to keep and then fail to do so and later on somebody digs up the archives and sues me for not keeping my resolutions… as if I care…

well anyways, before i start boring you I have already broken one resolution (refer above)… another one is to not procrastinate… well for those who don’t do hindu crosswords and have not come across such stupid sounding bombastic words in english, I meant – putting off work for later… so here goes my first blog post for this new year – although a little late (thank whoever thot of that “better late…” proverb…)

I actually don’t know what to write… I cannot recap what happened the whole of last year… hell I can’t recap whatever happened yesterday… my memory is so short lived (thank god for that) and so a recap of 2007 would be so factually incorrect that I would get more brick bats than the… the… the er whoever is the recipient of the maximum criticism last year…

So, I look for inspiration within… nope much as I break my head, I wont write about my new year resolutions… no way… million other peoples have written it already… and have already started following it… just the other day, just like any other day I went to the gym only to find it extremely crowded… the other day was the 2^nd of jan and note that it is not my new found new year resolution about fitness… I went to the gym just like any other day – I am a regular!!! And there were so many people there at the machines that there was a queue even at the weights section – the maximum demand for the lightest dumbells… and what a sweat everyone was working out… but wait a minute… where is that hum of the ac…

And yes of course the treadmills are the worst hit… any body and everybody is so obsessed or should I say paranoid about cardio work outs… and the first thing that jumps into the head is the tread mill… so we have a whole bunch of waist size 40s panting and heaving at the belt at a godly speed of 3km per hour hanging onto the support bars for dear life… and they will put in all their will power to make people wait for the whole 20 mins… because 20 minutes of using a treadmill is more value for money than 1 minute at the weights…

What is so pissing about the increase in the crowd and the hence the waiting time is that there is no proportionate increase in the number of pretty faces and the sex ratio… so should we safely assume that more men are getting unhealthy and our women are already possessing that perfect body… too bad that there will be more eyes for that few tight tracks doing that routine on the steppers…

Well come to think of that the new year is a time when the male hormones are at their peak… it is something like the full moon for werewolves… so women who feel quite comfortable and safe generally walking half naked into a mob of drunk sex starved local people should actually abstain from it on new year eves… especially in cities that are considered safe like mumbai, delhi and bangalore… all these liquor manufacturers must be sued – haven’t we all heard that drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco makes you impotent… then why are all these men behaving like this…

It is not just the people, but even inanmate objects like wooden platforms behave strangely on new years… like the one in chennai that stubbornly refused to support the weight of all that people on it… it was the effect of the new year moon… the hotel authorities were so careless to have overlooked the effect of new year on wooden supports… the fact that there were about a million people precariously perched on the platform to welcome the zeroes on the clock had nothing to do with it… sue the greedy hotel authorities who brought in unaccomodating hostile timber…

And then there were so many more things that happened that I have forgotten them over the last few days at work… new year now looks like years ago… to me it is just another holiday hopefully spent at home in front of the TV switching between the 8 or so free to air tamil channels that show some movie simultaneously… so while superstar is romancing nagma in one channel I wont miss out on the punch dialogs of captain on another or a good comedy track on yet another… a very nice example of mix and match at work thouch totally out of context… maybe we can launch a make your own movie idea… or a remixed movie… hmmm that sounds like a nice business plan…

So on this note I close this post… it has been waiting for a nice ending and I have been like working on this here and there… lots of things have happened already and I will have to start writing about them too… and yeah better late than never… like so many of my orkut mates who are still wishing me…

HAPPY NEW YEAR…
