Oh yeah, the electricity was gone here at frikkin’ Microsoft for 3.5 hours. See, they have the computers and phones on a separate power source so that even if the regular current goes out, they have these bad boys on a backup so that people don’t lose their data. Today it was the other way around (which sucks for anyone who had important stuff open). The backup supply went down, and the rest of the stuff was fine. We had the lights, cafeteria, all that jazz totally fine. But the phones and computers were down. Total suckage. But hey, now we’re back and good to go. I’m out. I’m sure there are MUCH more important issues to detail, but this is all I can think of for now. Goin back to listening to trance music.
Okay fine, so he’s not exactly known to be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I have a soft spot for Keanu Reaves. No, it’s not just The Matrix… the thing that impressed me most is that this guy can spout off Shakespeare like there’s no tomorrow. He’s an addictive fan of the Beaird’s work, which is very unlike the persona people attach to him. Anyway, the reason I’m bringing this up… he had a great quote that I totally agree with, and I thought I’d put it on here:
“If you can make a woman laugh, you’re seeing the most beautiful thing on God’s Earth.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself…
Alright, this is a weird addition, but it’s something that I’ve thought every time I go to the bathroom. (See how odd this already sounds??)
In America, after using the urinals, guys will wash their hands and leave. No wait- let me clarify. Guys will sometimes wash their hands before they leave. That’s right ladies- if you see a guy come out of the bathroom and he’s hanging out with you afterwards, there’s a very good possibility that he hasn’t washed his hands. (Disgusting.) To make sure, look at the back of their hands. Why? Because most guys who wash their hands will dry their palms because that’s what you use most. The back isn’t as important, and in high probability (of course I can’t speak for every guy), there will be a bit of water/moisture on it. PLUS, if you only see the palm moist, that’s a problem. He’s umm… splashed a bit on himself. (I know I know this is nasty… there’s an interesting cultural phenomenon coming up, I swear.)
In India however, in the last 5 months I’ve been here, there’s been ZERO cases of that. Every single person washes their hands afterwards. Before eating. After eating. For a country that you see on TV as being dirty, blah blah blah, the people in India are frikkin anal (maybe that sounds a bit weird..) about being clean. You look on the street and (aside from drivers), everyone’s got some ironed button down shirt on, etc. Craziness.
Alright I’m done. So yeah, if you notice some dude get out of the bathroom WAYYYY too quickly around there, send him back. Better yet, just walk away. Better even STILL, totally stop talking to him. Muhuhuahahahaha….

Oh Britney, Britney. When did you become so… stupid? Or is it that you were always stupid and I ignored it because of the rhythmic way in which your hips sway and the…. (drooling). Anyway, here it is, her retarded quote.

I was taking the cab to work today, and there was a hold up in traffic. Usually it’s someone’s car broken down. Not today. As I looked ahead, I noticed that it was a fender bender (at max– no actual damage to people there), but that there were people outside arguing. I can see this happening in the US, definitely. There’s that initial, “AY! What the hell did you just do?! Now gimme your insurance card while I call the police.” It’s either that or, “Dude are you okay?? Now gimme your insurance card while I call the police.”
No such thing here. In general, any time two cars hit each other it’s like, “Ah damn. Well I guess we’ll have to go get that fixed, huh. Alright peace out.” No calling the cops, no insurance card, and maybe an exchange of phone numbers.
But back to today. The arguing was pretty heavy, and one dude was DEFINITELY pissed. His face was ready to throw someone around, and hands were pointing frantically towards the other driver. And then, out of nowhere, he PUNCHED THE CRAP out of the other guy. This was just as the cab happened to be passing by, and he sort of paused to watch. Of course all of us inside were enrapt as well.
And that’s when I noticed– there was a crowd of people on the side watching these people fighting. There was my driver and my co-workers staring. And all of us… we wanted to see blood. We wanted to hear the crunch (or at least see it) with these two people, preferably with someone being damaged. Is this what the Roman coliseums were all about? Why are we so intrigued by the possibility of blood and pain? Is it because it’s out of the ordinary? Or is it much more primal and we want to know who the survivor will be in the ’survival of the fittest’?
I felt repulsed that I was watching this with such fascination. I turned back and stared back at the front of the cab, and the driver decided to continue driving. But I couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Have we become any more civilized at all? Is there really any evolution of thought that has happened in the thousands of years we’ve been around?’
Who knows.

HAHAHAHAHA. You know, it’s not very often that you read stuff on the internet that truly makes you laugh, or in my case, even chuckle. This definitely did it for me. It’s The Absolute Bottom 50 Children’s Books.
Enjoy.
Well here it is… the day that Kavi’s finally leaving. Was sort of hoping that it would just go away if I didn’t deal with it, and I don’t know that I’ll totally get it until a little while from now. I’ll probably be like, “Hey you’ve been gone for 3 weeks! Isn’t it time to come back to Bangalore from Delhi, silly?”
On other news, I’ve become one of the two people assigned to a newsletter at Microsoft. It showcases things that are going in the US and such, and I find it interesting. But here’s the caveat: it’s really damn hard to find news that’s solely relevant to the US that’s not depressing as hell. I mean, I COULD talk about the runaway bride, only to further the sentiment that Americans are odd, I COULD talk about the two best friends that were killed by the father of one of them and then depress the hell out of everyone. So what else do I do? I have to, very carefully, write fluff pieces that have some relevance. When I do the Entertainment section that becomes easier, but when I have to do a “Serious News Article”??
I FINALLY GOT MY V DASH! What does that mean? That means that I finally have a Microsoft email address. Email me and I’ll tell you what it is. It’s retarded to put it on here bc you’ll get a lot of junk mail when the search bots find you. (Doesn’t that sound all Matrix-y?)
Peas!!

-Deja, obviously showing her upper-crust taste in men
Yes I know, it’s been a while since I’ve written (again). I’d like to blame it on an amazingly high workload and my being out saving puppies. Instead, the truth is that I’ve just been lazy. Pathetic, I know.
Whew, where to start..? Well Kavi’s back in town, after (what feels like) an eternity in Delhi. She’ll be here for another 10 days or so, and then… well she’ll move to Delhi permanently. So I suppose I have to make the most of it while she’s here. Do something really sentimental like spitting over a bridge. I know it’s just like everyone else, but what can I say, I’m never very original. I’m definitely gonna miss her though, and it sucks that she’s leaving. Great. You meet a really cool girl around here, and then she has to frikkin leave. Just peachy.
Alright I’m out for now. Will probably get back on later tonight or tomorrow.
