What is the difference between democracy and communalism? To find that out I am in Shanghai, China. Kidding I am in Shanghai for official reasons. I started my journey from Bangalore on the 25th Feb to Shanghai via Bangkok. The initial start of the journey was a long waiting Q to check in my stuff. I had a fear of exceeding the weight limit. My friends from office who had been here earlier were threading me about the food available here and I was playing safe with some ready to eat stuff and snacks. After waiting in the Q for an hour I got my bag checked in without any over weight. Then the immigration and customs was not an issue. Then I had to wait for an hour for the schedule departure. I called up some of my friends to do time pass. One was bloody drunk and repeating the same thing over n over n over. The flight took of on time from Bangalore 00:30. The flight had a hell lot of people going to Phuket, some package trip and making noise. It was like Honey Moon Travels Pvt. Ltd. All men�..:-(. In the flight there was food served at that hour and they woke me twice in the middle of my sleep to serve me food. Even though I did not want it. Idiots, could not sleep at all in the night. There was this movie Mistress of Spices being played. Looked more like a mystery. Could not watch that also my eyes were burning. In 3:45 hrs we were hovering above Bangkok and the time there was 5:45AM when we landed. I just got out and headed to a loo to do the most pleasurable job a man can think off�ah!!! The airport is called Swarnabhumi. The I had to do a transfer to my next flight which was at 11 in the day. Damn the Q here also was so big it too took one hour to get me the boarding pass for the next flight. By that time it was 7 and I was looking for a lounge to sleep. I went to the lounge operated by Thai airlines and they directed me to the economy class lounge. It was an open area with lots of sofa and couches . I found one and just crashed for about two hours I slept peacefully till my tummy grumbled for food. Then I realized that I had not eaten the previous night, den I went to Coffee World ordered a sandwich and a cold chocolate drink. I could not finish the sandwich it was too much to each, may be because I was too hungry. Then went about walking all over the terminal, I still had 2 hrs for my flight. There was everything available there in the terminal including a massage centre, it was nice place more like a mall to hang out. Some good girls also. Then boarded my flight to Shanghai which left at 11:20 and reached here at 3:45 PM. After immigration and baggage collection I took the Mag Lev to reach a place close to my hotel. This train run fuking fast. It runs at 430Km/hr and that is its maximum speed. Phew damn fast and in less than 10 minutes it got us to our destination. Very good and nice ride. From there I took a taxi and reached my hotel. One thing I realized after getting out of the airport that it is damn cold and my head was feeling it�brrrr�.. The hotel is good with all the facilities, fridge, washing machine and an oven. Nice and comfortable so far in China.

Quarter Mile
this year i turned 25 on the 10. It was a wonderful day and one of the bdays dat i m never gonna forget. i had bad first half of the day as i was in the ofc working under pressure. it was horrible i wanted to be out having fun but instead i was chained to my comp. by 12:30 i was done n my lead said he will take care from there on....it was like a trapped bird let free in the wild....yahwe...i literally ran.
mindu was der to pick me up from ofc as my beast was in mysore with ponni. we went to a restaurant called Jayamahal Palace. it is set in the back drop of a place and it is a nice place to sit and drink n drink...very peaceful too. incidentally satish also was born on the same day. so we both hosted a part for our team, candia, meenakshi, gen n bala. we had one hell of time there, started off with wine and then 3 cans of tiger beer per head. cani and bala did not drink...candi wanted to drink only with her parents...she was very uncomfortable siting with drunkards. sat was at his best bull shit formalities. meenakshi was doing wat he is good at entertaining us wid his stories and cheers and gumbhe!!! one hell of a guy...i appreciate him for the energy levels that he has...awesome never ever he gets tired. it was 6 when we all departed except for candi who just ran away from us. well then i was waiting for ponni and minchi who were riding to bangalore from mysore. i was a lil concerned as the cauvery tribunal had started a state wide agitation and mandya happens to be a place know for pro-cauvery. well they made it to bangalore without any hassles ans dat was great. it meant party party party n beer :-). meenakshi (who almost got crushed) and sat were also suppose to join us and we decide to go to Taika.AK should have been there but his brother getting married the next day meant curfew in advance. mindu n me waited for almost an hour and sat came and then ponni also came. we went to taika and were waiting to hit the dance floor. we were 6 in all. mennakshi was not yet in, he joine din later. when we entered the dance floor there were a small number of girls on the dance floor and the music was really good. there were a lot off ppl siting on the bench and sipping on...we found ourselves a comfortable place and got beer to satisfy our thirst. the music was intoxication and the disco lights along with the beer was tkaing you on high. the crowd started to pour in and the dance floor was getting crowded. I was in my second bottle of beer when meenakshi came in and said wat d fuk come down and this ice breaker did it all...we were dancing and dancing and dancing.......mindu the shy guy (self proclaimed) was also on the floor shaking his booty(although he has none...14' flat)...my my he just danced on on ononononon....sat was high to the core...he was jumping shouting and screaming and dancing all at the same time. ponni was too heavy to move arnd...but his moves are very cheeky....minchi wat do i say she was waiting for a fat girls clothes to slip off...her instincts were cropping over her (i m done for this...)...we all danced like mad ppl and suddenly realised that there was no fuking place on the floor. it was jam packed. the crowd was good with ppl from all races and i mean it. music good and so was the beer. entry charges of 300 and a pint of beer wud cost u 150.den it was time like u cannot stay in der...lots of smoke and the fumer dat you wud like to go out for some fresh air. when came out wat the hell the lounge also had turned into a dance floor and ppl were happily dancing...and den we realised that it was 11:30 in the night and food was at a premium at that time. we decide to leave and went to empire on church street for dinner. that place was even more crowded. we had food and dropped minchi and ponni in kamanahalli. by the time we reached home it was 1:30 and slept at 2 in the morning. oops forgot abt bala and malvika who were there at the party. bala is a lil slow starter and was new to this culture, but he opened up and later told himself that he will be coming with his girl to Taika. malvika is from assam and sat's date. she too had a good time on the floor except that she went home hungry ... how much she cursed sat only god knows. well so thats a part and day that i m gonna remember and as i was thinking 12-12 party...it did happen :-)

Hooka Bar
It had been a very long time since I went to Mysore. A very very long time, the last time I went to Mysore was when Ponni was here. I went again or rather passed through the city we went to Kanyakumari on bikes. Never stayed there or had fun, just passed through.
For about a six months or so I only got to hear stuff about Mysore now I really got to see the city on my own. There has been a lot of changes in the city a couple of more shops, restaurants and infrastructure improvements. The IT crowd had also grown, but the thing that had not changed is the pace at which life and the city moves. Just at leisure and that I like it a lot. You have the entire day to yourself to do what ever you want. In the evening had been to a place called Planet-X. It has a bowling alley, go-karting track, games arcade, restaurant and a pub/disco called the ‘Hooka Bar’. This was the venue for us to have fun. I ws hearing a lot about this place and the crowd through out the day. We finally got the entry after much f pushing around as stags :-(. Inside the environment was different. People were grooving to the music the DJ was playing and the crowd was a mixed one. People from all quarters and age were there. There were these pali girls who were really good…at least their ass was good in the low waist jeans ;-). The dance floor was really small but big enough for the enthusiastic dancers. I found myself comfortable on the bar stool with a mug of beer. While drinking those pali girls found some place in front of my stool to dance and of them was just shacking her ass…I was like gaping at them. They were really good…he he he. I must say that the crowd for Mysore was too much. It sure has grown up in all aspects. Just hope that it doesn’t get spoilt the way Bangalore has gone. I would still prefer it to maintain the integrity and purity and lazy boy status with all modern attires.
