Of Re-use and Abuse

I am a firm believer in recycling, reuse, waste management and to start with, I try not to waste. Especially when it comes to food, water and electricity. India has a scarcity of all of these and many people in other places go hungry, thirsty and without power for hours...which I have had to deal with when I was in Africa...man those were the painful days...no video games for 20 hours a week!!!

I also believe that things should be thrown away when absolutely no other choice exists. Like bottles and similar sort of containers.

For e.g. when I was a kid my parents would re-use bottles of vinegar and Gin to fill em up with water and then put it into the fridge so as to have cold water. But this led to some unwanted incidents of me gulping down VINEGAR instead of water after coming home from playing a couple of hours in the SUN!!! Painful.

(Might I add, that as you got older you tend made that mistake on purpose (oxymoron I know) with the Gin bottle :-) )

Today, I found a tin that was marked with "Nutrilite-- Protein supplement" and well I thought let's try this out. I made a milk shake of it and drank it all. It didn't dissolve completely and had a powdery feeling by the end of it.

Now, it struck me a moment later that i picked that tin up from off my sister's dressing table.
I really hope i haven't gone and drunk some make-up related powder kinda thing...I hope she comes home fast so I can ask her.....

Why can't people take off the labels or mark new labels on the reused containers???
Well just in case...it was nice knowing all of you...

Good bye cruel world...

What on Earth is going on?

Have you ever felt that that nothing in this world is going right; but rather everything in this world is going WRONG!
Read on....
*****************************************************************************************
Mishap number one:

Yesterday, I went to Pune University for my project work. There are 2 groups of three, from the same class who have to go there.
One of the groups of was not supposed to come. This group is headed by a person who we shall refer to as ViagRA (just to set things straight this name has been chosen randomly and has no direct bearing on the identity of the person, it is however a concoction of anagrams).
This guy, ViagRA, is kinda weird, funny even in the most silly way. for e.g. One day we told him "Dude you are so dumb we could make a reality show out of you by following you around with a Camera." He laughs and says..."Ha Ha Ha ...who you gonna get to act in it" !!!
Anyway coming back to the point...this guy fooled my group partners and me. Can you imagine that? We always play pranks on him ...and this time we got fooled.

Mishap number two:

I was shocked this morning to wake up and read the newspaper. The movie PAHELI was nominated for an Oscar.
I mean like WHAT THE FU**.
This movie was atrocious. I want those three hours of my life back, which I spent on that stupid movie. How could this happen. This is an abonibation.....admonitation...abnormation.....aboni...VERY BAD!!!!!!!.
How could this movie get selected and side wipe "BLACK". Black was brilliant. Brilliantly made, brilliant acting, brilliant direction. In a word BRILLIANT.
The only flaw which I have to say is that the movie's story was based on Helen Keller and not completely an original idea. All the same it should have been nominated.
Even 'Swades' was better than 'Paheli'. I want to know. Is the entire film industry FIXED? I sure think so since Shah Rukh Khan un-deservingly gets every best actor award...for the most mundane roles. Saif Ali Khan for 'Hum Tum'. Are we Indians THAT STUPID? NO! The freaking industry is FIXED I say.
Another theory I have is that those guys at the Oscars don't want India to win one (beats me why). So they pick the worst movie from all out entries.

Mishap number three:

Was just watching the news. Forbes has named ICICI bank as one of the 5 best Companies in India alongwith Wipro and Infosys.
ICICI!!!!!Those freaking THIEVES. Let me tell u one thing.
ICICI are THIEVES. They are completely INCOMPETENT. It takes them 3 months and 6 Phone calls to do a CHANGE of ADDRESS.
They charged me loan processing fees ....for a loan I didn't even apply for officially....only inquired about.
ONE QUESTION: WHAT THE F*** IS GOING ON????????**************************************************************************************************
MISHAP No. 4

Is the weather taking over the earth? It's topsy-turvy EVERYWHERE.
Almost every place in INDIA is flooding now or later. Switzerland is flooding! USA is being destroyed by hurricanes.
I think we have really pissed off the higher powers.
Now excuse me while I go to my Astrologer and do a Shanti Pooja.....for the world of course....
