Nothing about Her

As I have written a number of posts on Her over the past few months I thought before my very very few readers reach the heights of exasperation I should move on to other things. I have decided to write a boring (it of course is boring if She is not mentioned right?) post. So what else has been affecting my life for some time....

I am not sure if the inflation rate is affecting me. I have been reading terms like Cash Reserve Ratio, repo rate and even a more weird term called reverse repo rate. Its only such new terms that is affecting me and not the actual inflation. I have also been reading the economic times for some time now. It does have a lot of statistics in it. But as one columnist aptly put it - Statistics in many ways resembles the bikini - It hides more than what it reveals!!!

Anyway one thing that I am waiting for is the new Harry Potter book. Just last week when the newspaper guy came to collect the payment he passed the remark that I looked like Harry Potter and even after hearing it for the (n+1)th time I was very happy. After all he is one of my fiction heros.

But one thing that did irritate me was the unavailability of the book The Female Brain in some of the leading book stores in Bangalore. I really cant believe that none of the books stores had even heard of it. Hmm...well not many in India is really interested in unravelling the mysteries of the sacred feminine.

Now Mungaru Malay was one movie that I watched last week. I watched it just because The Hindu had it on the first page of the friday review for 3 weeks. And that was the first time I watched a Kannada movie in a cinema hall. It was pretty good but the hype I guess was just because among the kannada movies this turned out to be the best.

But one thing that I did notice was that people are using the word 'anyways'. Now I am not a strict follower of the Queen's Language nor do I really care. I also do not really know the internals of the English language. I have always relied on my perception. If a sentence 'sounds' right to me then I conclude that it must be grammatically right. And most of time I find that I am right. I think the Queen and me share the same audio perception skills. But coming back to the usage of the word 'anyways'. It doesnt sound right to me. And thus I know it is not right to use it. And I prefer that at least the people I know and interact with dont use it. Let me see if my 'I hate anyways' campaign gains some success.

Anyway (Please note the usage!!!) I think I have written a lot of crap already trying to avoid bringing her into the post. Let us hope my dreams come true. But as I just read today: There is nothing wrong in dreaming big, as long as the dreams dont cloud your vision.......
