Yesterday around 10 am I got a call from my son Ashwanthe's school. (He is 7 years old and in 2nd Standard). Seems he left behind at home his part of the class play and so wanted it delivered. So I headed over to his school, met his HM and then proceeded to his classroom.

His class has about 30 odd kids and the teacher was in the midst of a Dictation. When she saw me she stopped and came over to collect the papers. As we small-chatted near the door, I could see the kids starting to move around between desks, someone threw a chalk at someone, a few around my son were waving at me and general disintegration started happening. The teacher heard the mild commotion, turned around and said "Silence students.... Back to your seats everyone". And immediately, the entire class obeyed and decorum was restored. I waved a goodbye to Ashwanthe and the others and headed back home.

Back home, I switched on the TV and all the News Channels were telecasting Live the Trust Vote in the Parliament. Several of out netas were giving fiery and funny speeches But the din and commotion around them was deafening. MPs were shouting at each other, some at no one in particular, some were thumping their desks. Chaos as people were moving around, no sense of decorum whatsoever. And in the midst of it all, the Hon’ble Speaker was ordering, pleading and threatening MPs to remain seated and maintain silence. And no one gave a damn. The action turned quite weird soon and the Spkr had to adjourn and cancel the debate. Fuck the debate, lets check on who’s got the fucking power.... what a bummer...

Cant blame them cos the dudes in the Parliament who were kicking up all that havoc had never been through LKG, UKG, 1st and 2nd standard like Ashoo and his classmates. They never learnt discipline and never had a decent teacher to teach them something worthwhile. They are and will remain – a bunch of assholes....

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?

I didn't have time to write before...

Last Tuesday, Bharat and I went to the Airport to pick up a pal who was arriving from Dubai. The flight landed around 2am, we picked up the dude, got back on the road with a plan to have some chai near Kathipara and then head home...

Bharat was driving, I was riding shot-gun, chatting and fooling around with my mobile cam.
We had just crossed Trident when it happened... this damn fool lorry guy was driving on the wrong side of the road and bearing down on us. We didnt have the time or the space to react.

The Lorry was seconds away from ramming us when I shot the clips you see below...

Wonder how we finally managed to make it ? Check the Comments....
