Horn Nokay please

The thing about Indian horns are that they have lost their value, it's a lot like the boy who cried wolf story. I have seen, on every voyage of mine, the use of Indian horns. I have tried many a times to try and figure out what is the intent of the horn, for some of the times there is absolutely no one in sight of the raged horner! Yet it would seem that there may be no end to this epidemic of sorts. As if everybody can't see the green light blaring, but still yes I understand that the person behind me is just about to miss a train. That's what he always says, that person behind me even though he changes everyday. This is not a rant believe you me! It is an observation of concern. The ample lack of respect for other's time... I believe that if I left home late, it's not "my right" to make cuts and curves around traffic or jump the next red light. take a wee bit of time to follow the rules and you will be there in the same amount of time, if not less! This pee has got too preachy so I shall leave it at that. Till I drink again!

Where does all the money go?

There is something about money that makes me not want to have it. As soon as I feel money jingling around in my pocket I get an irresistible urge to spend it right then and there. It doesn’t really matter how much it is, it doesn't even matter what it is that I am buying (for example I just bought a huge inflatable sledge hammer last Saturday .... wtf) I think it's because I just know I can. A perfect example which I'm sure many people might confer upon would be coffee joints (CafĂ© coffee day in my case) who more often than not become the unworthy benefactors of this wretched impulse. The thing is their coffee is horribly bland and over priced. I hate it. Yet I find myself picking stuff up from there time and time again! I wonder if this is a common problem for most of us. My dear friend Manish Pande bought, on impulse, a rather awesome, but also rather expensive Tommy Hilfiger watch! It's pretty cool and well it all comes down to whether or not the coffee tastes better. But it doesn't :S So at the end of this pee , I'm still confused.
