Stop Cribbing. Do something.

I've recently got addicted. Addicted to blog-reading. Sitting through the night, just following one link to another, reading views of people - some of them pro's in expressing them, some newbies.

Some blog entries are just one-liners. They have this knack of saying a lot in that one sentence. Eg:-

"
When you look back in your life to the times when you were extremely sad, disappointed or the times when you were extremely happy and delirious... more often than not you will see that things weren't as bad or great as your first impressions of them at that moment."

"Life is a continuous chase. Stop running after one thing to start
running after another. No end in sight. :("

Some of them are like totally devoted to social issues. I HATE them. All they do is, sit around and crib about some situation ( be it the traffic situation, be it the reservation quota, be it the degrading environment, or be it what the news channels are broadcasting ), but they just keep on complaining about it. And not just blogs, atleast one of the four times in lunch at office, you find a person cribbing about the traffic at Sakinaka or on the road in front of IIT. Really, if you are so concerned, please stand up from your comps and seats, go out and do something about it! For god's sake, stop coming in your cars alone - start car pooling - urge others to do the same! And if you can't .. STOP cribbing!

Oh wait! What am I doing? Cribbing!! I should stop cribbing about the cribbers! Oh, there was this thing I was gonna do to create awareness about the environment. Time to start working on that.

Stop Cribbing. Start working.

Mood: Aching to do something constructive.

Some stats!

More than 60% of dialogues of a human being are spent doing the following two activities

1) Stating the obvious
" बारिश हो रही है|"
" बहुत धूप है |"
"taxi नही मिल रही|"
2) Speculating:
" आज तो Mumbai Indians जीत ही जायेंगे"
" कल तक बाढ का पानी निकल जाना चाहिए"
" आज बारिश होगी "

Have you heard of the study which concluded that 82.3% stats are made on the spot?

Re: Eternal Eve-Teasers

Reference : A blog entry that I recently read. It is a very well-stated case of misfortunes that the fairer sex experiences.

However, here are some incidents that you'd like to read...

The first two are actual incidents told to me by girls, enjoying every moment of the incident as well as of narration.

Incident 1 :
Event: Girl's day out
Venue : Some mall

G1 : Hey G2! Lemme give you a dare
G2 : What?
G1: See that guy over there? Give him a stare .. eye him ( long enough to make him conscious)

G2 does that with pleasure, long enough to make the guy look to the other side and then finally walking away.
(Referring to the blog entry, lemme ask- " ghar me baap bhai nahi hain kya??").

Incident 2:

A statement from a girl:
" अबे यार !! कल fundoo मज़ा आया !! हम hawaiin shack गए थे। खूब नाचे । मस्ती आ गई ... जगह थोडी कम थी उधर ... पर मतलब ठीक है ... चलता है ... पहले तो हम दोनों ( she and her bf) ही नाच रहे थे... फिर 1 दूसरा group भी आ गया ... उसमे सब लड़के थे ... सब मेरे चारों तरफ़ नाच रहे थे ... बड़ा मज़ा आया "

Incident 3:
Venue : Enigma ( Club )

Every one is dancing. My friend finds himself standing to an unknown girl. After dancing a couple of minutes, the girl says:

G : " I'm feeling thirsty" (expecting my frn to go get him a drink)
B : " Then go get yourself a drink" (He uses a modest tone thus making it very clear he is not very interested in her, esp, he ain't gonna spend any money on her)

The girl dances a couple of more minutes, then strays off to another similar single looking guy. This time she succeeds in getting a drink. The person, getting (or interpreting in his mind that he's getting) signals, starts advancing on her. Our dear sly girl, very tactically, comes back to my 'decent' friend, and starts dancing with him. She repeats the cycle umteen no of times that night. And yes, she does expect my decent friend to protect him from those people who did get her a drink!

Aint she a b***h?

Yes. Some boys/ men are jackals. But isn't somewhere, someplace the fault of the fairer sex? Ain't some of them bitches?

It isn't a case of a few samples taken out of the fairer sex.

To the more general fairer sex:-

1) Haven't you ever walked into a Lee's/ Levi's showroom and went for the low rise/low waist jeans.? Tell me, when you do go for that ooomph jeans, aren't you expecting the men to stare down when you are wearing them?
2) While moving out of the cricket ground/ a crowded theatre, wait for the some of the crowd to walk away. Move when the crowd is thinner. Don't expect crowd to be smooth if it's thick. It is supposed to be a mosh-pit, with everyone in the hurry to get out.
3) Get a bottle of Vodka in your apartment next time you want to go high on alcohol. Don't go to a bar, esp a small crowded one, which has a dance floor. If you do go, don't expect everyone to be a gentleman there.

I'm not writing this to justify the behavior of the motorcycle guy or the people who do bad things in crowded places. I condemn them.

But what i AM saying is, you AINT a saint either!
