The two sides...

I'm having an interesting time here in Nashville, the music-city of the States. Interesting, but tough too. I get to see a microcosm of the two sides of this country in this outskirt of a lil town. I work in a company thats as global as global can get... its an extremely busy atmosphere, filled with high profile people, who perpetually seem on calls to somewhere in Europe. The parking lot really tells a lot about the kind of occupants of the building.. its like an auto show in a little parking lot...

When I get back "home"... its like I walk into a totally different country. I'm the only person in this building without a tattoo on me, and who isn't smokin away like a chimney. Half the people here look like drug-addicts, wonder how they can afford it though..

Its amazing, i think sometimes, how this much economic disparity has creeped into such less geographical distance. On a smaller scale, there was Banjara Hills, close to those tiny gallis of Ameerpet, or even Sainikpuri, close to the non-descript Nirmal Nagar. Really... how did this happen??? How did so much disparity ever creep in???

Somewhere, somethin did go terribly wrong..

The alarms (Part 2)

I had written about mine and nimbo's struggle with the alarms a couple of posts ago. Well... some things have changed, some haven't..

Things that have not changed:
We still waste time in the nights... he watches Naruto, i'm hooked to YouTube.
We still have an early class/assignment due.
We still HATE waking up.

Things that have changed:
The "mosquito" alarm is now no longer used. We decided its no good for us sleeping giants anyways, so why lose those few seconds of sleep to it???
My alarm ringtone has changed from Rang de basanti to Dream on... was hoping for some early morning inspiration, duh, what was I even thinkin!!??
I no longer participate in the race to bang that Indian alarm... now its a nice routine.. i wake up.. yell at nimbo to wake up, he bangs it, and we go back to sleep.
Oh, he got a cell too.. he keeps it on snooze... the turns it off only the third time..

Alright... I should go sleep now... "gotta wake up early tomorrow".
heh heh heh.
