Equal Rights v/s Chivalry

Well as u all know i can`t use the car or drive any vehicle of any sort at the moment. So I have have to take the always very crowded bus. Well the conditions are not that bad everyday (that's what I keep repeating to myself). But still there are times when the the public trys to amuse me by displaying their off-key personalities (behavior fit to get them admitted into a mental hospital).

Like today, when we were packed like sardines. Actually even packed sardines I think wud have more room. Well I guess the gods were happy with me today because I was actually sitting when the guy next to me gets up and offers the lady standing, his seat. While she is attemping to sit down, a guy almost pushing her to the ground, (if there was place to fall that is) sits in the seat and smiles broadly at her and seemed definitely very smug and content with himself. Well I said as many evil curses as I knew (but not aloud of course because he did look kinda huge and big).But as they say its the thought that counts.

Anyway I guess the huge and big guy believes in equal rights of both men and women but isn't he taking it a bit too far. It was like actually seeing a chivalrous man of the past first, followed by a sample of life as it is today.

i've had a couple of problems with people barging into a seat I've offered to someone else. Ive never failed to embarass them. I've made them get up and give up their seat. I've also had women who i have offered a seat, be rude & ungrateful. I think it works both ways. theres an awful lot of ill mannered people around.

C'mon I thought you were a fighter! Where's that safety pin I told you to carry about when you need it?!? One good jab n that guy would have thought twice about sitting next to you. Actually use it well and you can have the whole seat all to yourself everyday :)

@ Glenn - Smart move. A very subtle way of letting other know that you belong to the chivalrous category :)

@ Karen - Well i used to carry a safty pin in my pocket but after i poked myself with it. It brought a drastic end to carring any kind of weapons
I decided I am more than enough to deal with any problems.

Solar power revolution in Rajasthan

The desert state is on course to become the biggest producer of solar energy in the world with top Indian companies making a beeline for setting up solar power plants.The die has been cast. The Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Ltd (RRECL), the state nodal agency for promoting and developing nonconventional energy sources, has received 32 proposals to set up 900MW solar power plants. The rush for setting up solar plants is due to incentives offered by the state as well as central government. Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) would set up a 5MW solar power plant at Khinwsar in Nagaur district which would start production by December 2009. The company has signed the power purchase agreement with Jaipur Discom, the state-government-owned power distribution company, to sell power for a 10-year period. Par Solar Ltd, a Mumbai-based company is all set to establish another plant at Jodhpur. According to RRECL, CMD, Rajiv Swaroop, Indiabulls (45MW), Acme Tele Power (100MW), Videocon (5MW), AE...

Ironic Misunderstanding

Misunderstood By:  Satanists, heavy metal bands. Modern Satanism walks the narrow line  right  from  a lot more chains, hair dye and self-mutilation. Generally intended as a giant middle-finger to Christianity, Satanists deliberately adorn themselves with symbols that they think will inspire random people to try to give them a stern talking to. (Also known as Attention Seekers) One of the most popular Satanist symbols is the  upside down cross , the reasoning behind which seems obvious enough. With the possible exception of that pentagram thing with the goat's head inside it, the inverted cross is the most immediately recognizable symbol of defiance against Christianity. It's certainly the easiest to tattoo. Whoa, wait a second... If those Satanists had paid attention in Sunday school, they would probably realize that the inverted cross is actually the personal trademark of Saint Peter, the first Pope, and one of the most revered figures in C...

2007 - The year that was

This year from the beginning to the end was a memorable year. A great many small and big things happened. At the moment all of them seemed equally important and unforgettable but now thinking back its turned into a fog of what actually happened this year or the last. Quite unintentionally I landed at my blog again after lengthy arguments with myself to post but not having the required drive to actually jot down my many vast and confused thoughts. Let me just focus on the end of the year.  ( Aaaah .....) 2007, the year that has passed. The focus of the end of the year, I felt, was a tour I went for with my batch mates. We went to the Golden triangle locations. For those who haven`t studied Tourism, it's not a mysterious location or anything with a story, it's a tour to Agra, Delhi and Jaipur.  It's a time when new things happened all around me, new places, new experiences, new friends, new materialistic items (remembering the Heavy bags people had to carry for me) :) etc.....
