Sentimental Measles

The end of an exhausting weekend and the next one isn’t till September. A far cry from days back home when we’d get holidays named after the whole world and its aunties. I thought I read somewhere a while back that Sri Lanka has close to 32 national holidays. And No, thats not counting weekends. Isn’t that sweet meLANKAly. The only solace here is atleast I get my birthday off as part of the Thanksgivin long weekend package. Like that really matters.

Noble intentions Bob Geldof. But you could atleast have had a better lineup for the Philly leg of the Live 8 Concert. Sure, considering Will Smith and Dave Matthews played, every single girl from the Northeast was sure to show up, but please, does anyone still listen to Bon Jovi ? Came home after 3 hours only to see my friend in London watch U2, The Who, Paul McCartney and Pink Floyd !! Depressing.

What was with this Bengali Convention in New York. I didn’t even know there were so many Bongs in the country. Every 7.4 seconds you come across one with a badge from the convention… Well, fact: Bong women are miiiiighty cute. And have shaaarp tongues. Me like.

Kudos to my buddy Rajas for finally getting out of Madison, the town of the vertically challenged. In fact, from the way he was FOBbing out looking at the skyline of New York, I’m pretty convinced that his 6ft 3inch frame definitely featured in the top 10 structures of Wisconsin. I’m a Philly boy through and through but nothing comes closer to Bombay than NY. Now if only someone would find me a techie job there. I’d drink, dine, make merry and regularly watch my fellow New Yorkers getting their asses beat and handed back to them by the Eagles. Besides, being in New York would mean I wouldn’t miss the seasonality of Philly. The four beloved seasons - Football, Basketball, Hockey and Baseball.
