All work and no play has made me a dumb boy. And now like my slides, these blog posts will also be filled up of bullet points. All these were meant to be individual blog posts, but since they are so small, i am putting them all together.. Enjoy the randomness..
Snow is stupid! - I always used to like snow, let me complete first, ONLY when I watched it on TeeVee. Kajol dancing on the song - suraj hua mattham - wearing skirts used to give me this fuzzy feeling about snow. Sorry to say, I was WRONG! Snow sucks because of the following reasons -
- It makes your face and fingers go numb - As someone said, it doesn't matter what the temperature is, once it goes below minus five. Your face, fingers and back start going numb at that temperature and post that you cant feel a thing! Suck it snow!
- Its like dog potty! - You know the dog potty which sticks on your shoe and you don't realize it till you enter your home (when it stinks!)? Same with snow! It sticks on your shoes, and as soon as you enter your apartment, it melts, creating a puddle!
- The whole town is a skating ring! - The furry flaky snow melts into water when it first touches the ground, and then it freezes into ice!! So below all the cute piles of snow, there is this huge sheet of ice, which can make even a person like me dance (and fall at times!! GRRRR)

Its vacation time - We have 9 days off (including weekends) for annual Christmas break and suddenly that has become a pain point in my life, due to the following reasons
- Everyone in my office is going home, and i am stuck here, alone :(
- I do not have a fucking Schengen visa!! Which means I can only remain in Romania and go nowhere else in Europe!!
- The good part is, I am contemplating a visit to some of the Romanian counties to visit Dracula Castles! Just hoping that i don't meet any of the draculas :P
- It will give me a good chance to hone up my photography skills - So we will have some nice pictures of the castles, birds/animals, trees and of course hot blondes! :D

I sometimes feel like kaam-wali-bai !! - I just hope no one from my patriarchal punju community reads the following lines! Warna log kahenge - "Mard hoke jananiyo wale kaam karte ho!!"
- In past two months, i have learnt to operate a vacuum cleaner and a washing machine! Yeah! Seriously! What The Fuck! Why should someone learn to use these stupid things any-ways? Isi din ke liye mere maa baap ne mujhe padha likha ke bada kara tha? :O :O
- Why do i have to go down three floors to throw my garbage bag into the garbage bin! - When there are so many homeless people around, why can't they be employed by some agency, who gives them badges and asks them to collect garbage bags across the buildings? Lets see, there are 60 apartments in my buildings, and there are 4 such identical buildings around. If one guy charges one home just 10 Lei per month for picking up garbage bags from just outside their main doors and then throw them into the community bins, they could make 2400 lei per month! Lets assume not all people want to pay 10 lei per month, still they can make close to 2000 lei per month! Which is a decent amount! (Just for comparison, the cheapest burger you get here at McDonalds is 9 lei (appx), so i think, no one would have an issue paying 10 lei! )
- Seriously! How can any country survive without a dhobi! I fail to understand that at times! Sigh!

Blog visitors - Every two weeks, i look at my blog analytics to see what do people search on Google when they land up on my blog. Here are some of the keywords...
- I have seen God! - I don't know which God they are looking for, the one who sits above the clouds and enjoys his life by watching chicks doing pole dance or the one called Sachin. But my analysis says Sachin, as these visitors reach 10 times the normal days when sachin hits a century! Here is the post they go to --- I have seen God
- DesiLoveStories - These visitors have a typical habit. These searches and hence related visitors arrive only between 11pm and 2 am ;) ;) ! Sorry guys, i think you have dialled the wrong number! Here is the post they go to (certainly not what they are looking for :P ) --- Desi Love Stories
- Kalmadi Jokes - This one keyword has done amazing things to my traffic! Even after about 2 months after the CWG games, on an average day, about 90-100 people come on my blog looking for Kalmadi Jokes! Dhanya ho prabhu aap! Here is the post -- Kalmadi Jokes
Thats all for the random updates as of now. We will be back with the "2010 in review" post before I head off to some other snow covered village in search of Dracula !

Whats the exchange rate...lei in INR and USD...and where does Romania rank in terms of PPP?
1 Lei = 14 INR
1 USD = 3.2 lei
Implied PPP conversion rate (2009)
1USD = 1.9 lei (IMF)
I love using bullets(although unlike yours,it's not an occupational hazard in my case) because:
- I have a habit of rushing from one point to another and bulleting makes it easy for the reader to follow.
-It looks cleaner.
- It helps the readers with attention deficit syndrome(the number of which is going up by the minute).
