...oh, and somewhere in the not-too-distant-past, Technically Bored crossed 10000 page views.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Everything else ok, no?

Change

Short of plastic surgery is there any other way to change your face? 

देखे मुझे जब वोह आँखें, मैं खो जाऊं।
इन आखों के रास्ते मैं उसके दिल में समाऊँ।
कुछ कह न पाऊँ उसे मैं , कुछ सुन न पाऊँ
उसके बिना मेरा जीवन जैसे कोई सूना गाँव।


Ooooh...look I can type in Hindi still. 

A stranger in every land

A friend used to have a blog called Stranger in a Strange Land (or was it a one-off post...can't seem to remember).

Of late, that phrase keeps jumping in and out of my cranium a lot. Yeah, that measly little cavity (that in India would be called chullu-bhar).

In my own land I am just another stranger. Irrelevant, insignificant and part-of-the-wall. Elsewhere, I am still a stranger.

And, yes, despite what we would all like to believe - color does matter. Here, elsewhere and everywhere.

" Hush little baby! Don't say a word 
And never mind that noise you heard 
It's just the beast under your bed 
In your closet, in your head... "

I don't understand why I am horribly polite to people. Especially to women. And especially, when the favor isn't returned most of the times.

Gah! I wish I'd had bad teachers who taught me to be flippant and irreverent and disrespectful to women. Looks like those are the guys who are "interesting" (eye roll, disgust and mimes puking).

Oh...happy weekend folks! And hope the summer holds out with good weather where ever you are. 

Things I am not.

a) Cute
b) Handsome

EDIT:
c) Incapable of flirting. Apparently, unless I explicitly state that I am flirting, it isn't obvious.
