Month: June 2006

Moving back to Mumbai from Banglore

I was thinking about going back home for a long time because first of all, my parents and the rest of my family are in Mumbai, and second, trying to do everything on my own has become emotionally and financially difficult. Third, I know I can also find a much better job in media as I have finished college here in Bangalore.
And more than that is I never felt very connected to Bangalore.
Have had close friends here but still at times I felt a little lost and alone here amongst lots of friends and co-students.
Call it rude Auto drivers, a few cold people I came across, or bad college experience. I could never fit into the space of this city. But maybe I think it’s just me; I am too north Indian I always loved Mumbai and sometimes Delhi much better than Bangalore.
one thing I must agree this was my 1st long home away Experience. Before this, I was away from my home by myself only for one month in Europe, and I think I have learned a lot in these 2 years, but I also think now it’s time I need to be pampered again.
In 1hr movers and packers are coming home to pack my stuff. (Thank god I don’t have to do that) I am not soo lazy but for me packing clothes and stuff is as difficult as Mallika Sherawat Portraying the character of Mother Teresa.
I am Meeting few friends for lunch then a few for evening snacks and then a few for dinner.
And tomorrow morning I am off to Mumbai 🙂
One and the only thing I will miss a lot is my friends here in Bangalore.

indians Caucasian ?

To My earlier post about Indians being Caucasian, I get a replay from
My sweetest uncle (its one of the things I do, make friends into family member) Dr. George van Driem aka Suresh uncle
Who is working on Himalayan Languages Project.
Here I share his mail 🙂

Dear Parag,

The labels are outdated. Caucasian is still used. Even I use it, but the term is meaningless. Caucasians are peoples of the Caucasus mountains. Indians are people with Indian passports.
Genetically some Indians are closer to Greeks, others to Chinese and others are quite distinct from either. So, even Indians is a so-called *grand falloon*, a set that really isn’t a set. Anyway, I am an Indian kyonki mera dil hai Hindustani.

Saprem namaskar,
Suresh uncle

World full of weirdo’s

I have no clue why people are soooooo possessive about people they love, and then they don’t trust loved ones at all.
This random guy called me last night from Aparna’s mobile. (Aparna is my old media school friend who stays next to me in Bombay)
He started asking me these weird questions about Aparna, and relation between me and her. He was fucking rude.
He said he is her boyfriend and thinks there something going on between us and if I have done anything with her (I haven’t even met her like last three months). On another side, he was shouting at her.
This girl is weird too. In the whole wiled world she had to find this weirdo.
I didn’t want to be rude to him that she would have any problem with him.
Even I have been possessive at times, but calling some1 like this is just strange behavior.

HAppy bday in advance to chinni ((please don’t go and get a guy like this)
