It should be fun!!!

With very few channels available n English, I end up watching NatGeo (or Eurosport - the commentaries are in Bulgarain, but who cares?Do people listen to commentaries unless the commentator is either really good or really bad ?)most of the time.

Yesterday there was a show on alien sightings on earth.Though there is no concrete evidence to support the existence of extra-terrestrial life at the moment , one scientist on the show is confident that we will make some contact with aliens by 2020 -2025 AD.

Scientific curiosity apart,just imagine what a frenzy religious leaders around the world will be in,if and when we confirm the existence of ET life?How will different religions explain ET life? That should be fun.
I agree most scriptures do have d concept of diff worlds etc to bail out still it will be a mad rush.

Happened to see an article which says aliens are the fallen angels n bible and goes on to explain how they should be redeemed.LOL!!!

I hope I am alive to see that day but die before the aliens decide to annihilate us :D I am terribly excited :D

"It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in.
However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by
infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero.
From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination" HHGTTG

Zdravei!!!

In the list of countries I thought I might visit one day,Bulgaria was not dr, not even n d waiting list.But here I am n my project site-its just for a month- (why noone builds power plants in exotic locales?beats me!!!! :P) in a place where the welcome board at the border reads
"Welcome to Stara Zagora - Center of the Universe." :O and mineral water brands have very inspriring names



and it is guaranteed that you will get second looks wherever you go- havnt seen any indians outside of site office though there is an indian restaurant n Sofia where u have food wth 3 levels of spiciness- 1st degree,2nd degree and 3rd degree :)

havnt seen much of the place except for a stroll along "pedestrian street"(no vehicles allowed dr!!!).



But its a nice country with lots of sidewalk cafes and sunflower fields- though bulgaria is called as "the land of roses".I am not complaining, i prefer sunflowers to roses anytime :)

k dn.gtg.Have to download sum virus.The IT guy here is really handsome :D

And yes "Zdravei" means hello in Bulgarain.

The easy way out

Cant say I am passionate about anything, its more like I am passive abut evrythng :)
Here is a list of things I love
·Trying out new cuisines /eating out – I can eat out daily (financial constraints apart) n still not get bored. And I love reading those detailed menus
·Traveling or flying to be precise –When d HR guy n our office was complaining that he already made sum 40 flights this year, I was green with envy
·Details, more so when I am day dreaming/building castles n air. I want everything to be laid out clearly – date, day, time etc even if I am thinking of something that might or might not happen sum 10/20 years from now
·Reading
·Discussions /arguments – be it on the concept of god or on why good looking guys are such a rarity in our office

Unaware of d fact dt it is one of Mumbai’s costliest areas I was thinking how nice it wud be to get a job n Mumbai n live n Malbar hills n all.But my friend waved d red flag by telling me that I will need to get one hell of a job to afford living there)
·Take my whole family (including aunts, uncles, cousins, grand parents) for trip to sum exotic location
·Construct my own house n Thrissur n furnish it in style
For our house, my father did everything – drawing up d plan, supervising the work n what not!!! Seems he lost a few kgs n went a few shades darker by the time our house was finished :) I wud love to do dt for my house

·Sum 4 novels in one back – there was a Ludlum novel n it. Cant remember d rest – that was sum 6 months ago
When I was n college I used to read at least a book per week thnx to our LH library. Now I feel ashamed of saying reading is my hobby :(

Not tagging anyone.Its open for all

A forgotten b'day and a debt

3 birthdays and 2 anniversaries – dts all I forgot in the last few weeks and one of the birthdays was dt of my blog!!!!How could I?
Anyway sumthng I started just for the novelty of it, went on for 1 year.And the blog world became very much a part of my daily life.My regular day at office starts wth a cup of coffee n my set of blogs :D
And me n my friends discuss bloggers as if they are just boys and girls next door :D

And coming to the debt part of it, it is a bunch of flowers (ok, just 2 , d last ones she had I guess)a lil flower girl gifted me n mumbai.She left it n my cab window at the traffic signal and left.She didn’t evn wait for d payment n I ddint particularly make an effort to since I was expecting her to cum n take them bak.That small act left me wth such a great feeling!She wont know how to read n write English, maybe not evn hindi or marathi,so I will be spared the humility of a “lost dollar”, but…
It was my first time n mumbai.It seems “u either fall in love wth mumbai or hate it”I definitely don’t hate it.Wherever u go, u feel d presence of sea.wonderful.
I was pretty much on my own dr and loved d single female traveler(courtesy NDTV gud times) experience. I was reading Shantaram n went to Colaba 3 times just for the heck of it,sumthng i wudnt hav done had i been travelling in a group



Dt foto cud vey well describe my 2 weeks n mumbai :)

And yes, 34 and counting :D
