My Current Muse...

Chill Madi...the post title is just to catch your attention! ...it's "The Immortals of Meluha", by the way :-) ....I can actually call it my current muse, come to think of it...in fact, I can say that for most of the books that I read (I read only good books! Hmph!) ...coz till I have read the book (whichever one I'm reading), I tend to be completely absorbed in it...tend to keep thinking about it even when I'm not with it...look forward to being with it...and completely forget almost everything else when I'm with it...and simply love to completely forget almost everything when I'm with it...and love to hear what it says to me...and feel happy as I keep turning the pages, for I'm going forward, knowing you more...and sad at the same time, coz I have a page less to read...

Just because you are a Calcuttan...



1. Just because you are a Calcuttan doesn't mean that you have to protest against any and all rules...so SWITCH OFF your mobile phones in the aircraft when they tell you to...!

2. Just because you are a Calcuttan and used to rushing to get onto buses doesn't mean that you have to do the same while boarding an aircraft...unlike buses, the aircraft will not start moving away just as you are about to board! So Chillax, dada!

3. Just because you are a Calcuttan and used to talking loudly anywhere you go, doesn't mean that you do the same even on aircrafts...SHUT UP! Or talk softly at least.... (Ok...that goes for a fair share of Gujjus and Punjus too!)

4.Just because you are a Calcuttan doesn't also mean that you exclaim loudly on seeing the menu prices on aircrafts...Pay OR Shut Up!

5. Just because you are a Calcuttan doesn't mean that you take your "show-your-ticket" experience everywhere...you show your ticket to the bus conductor before getting down...OK. You show it to the movie guy with the torch...OK. But the airhostesses are NOT conductors! You just ask them to guide you to your seat in case you can't find it...that's all!

6. Just because you are a Calcuttan and used to travelling in trains always...and used to constantly check if your baggage is still intact, doesn't mean that you triple-check your baggage before the plane takes off! It'll be there only, where you put it! Duh!

7. Just because you are a Calcuttan and take great pride on finding a seat in a bus doesn't mean that you do your typical, irritating thing of exhaling loudly through your mouth everytime you find a seat on that bus which takes you to your aircraft! Your act of literally breathing down my neck is NOT appreciated...#^%& !!

8. And please stop using all those funny sounding names in public....Mampa, Tumpa, Babai, Shona, Bubai...Please, for heaven's sake, learn to name (and call) your children by proper names in public!!!!
