The year that went by ...


2009 has been a personal roller coaster ride for me ...

A year ago i had posted about how 2008 had been a horrible terrible year ... and how I hoped 2009 to be better ...

Well .. 2009 was definately better then 2008 in overall terms but by no means was it a good year ...

The roller coaster ride of 2008 simply continued in 2009 ... with a couple of more shocks and sufferings ... the only consolation being it slowed down to a crawled in second half of the year and things started to look up towards the end of the year …

But … during the first half of the year, things simply refused to look up… infact they simply continued the downward spiral journey

I felt as if my life was responding to the global financial crisis in equal measures with a personal emotional crisis of my own :P

The second half of the year was slightly better ... and i hope 2010 becomes a much better year as compared to last two ... keeping up with the upward trending wave that I am currently riding …

With these hopes and wishes .. i bid farewell to the year that was 2009 ... and 2010 ... here i come :)

The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
