The on-way entertainment

Traveling alone sometimes can be very boring especially if its a routine travel between your home and office. It requires even more time-killing-effort if you are not driving to work and taking a public transport like a common man (in the commonest sense). This is something I have observed over the last few months and sometimes even felt it.

Some people (mostly old ones including the middle-aged) just try to read newspapers in the buses as our ancestors used to do. Others (the modern generation like us) will either put the 2 wires in their ears and switch-ON the i-accessories and go deaf on the rest of the world OR they will just take out their phones, flip them open and dial a number while traveling in buses and all. Now, it may be very amusing for these people to talk to somebody to kill their journey time but just imagine, a guy sitting next to you and talking continuously to someone on the phone. I don't know about others but it can drive me crazy sometimes, especially if you can guess that the person is talking to his/her (to-be)-partner. In those kind of talks, all you can hear on your side are mostly yes's, no's and sounds like hmmmm..., ohhh, ehhh,, etc. etc. Most of the human-understandable language is cut-off considering the private nature of the talk, but then if the talk is really that private why the hell do you even want to have the conversation in the bus. Well, I think some people just don't get it.

Anyways, I have kind of accepted this reality as there is no better alternative and I definitely don't like those i-accessories. For me, the best time pass is to just look out for that one whom you can look on. Good thought right!! Just joking man!! This is just one thought that sometimes have crossed my mind when I observe other Desi's in the buses. But then we all need something to do in that boring hour of our journey. Hopefully, I will develop a good time-pass soon otherwise these other people will become my time-pass which may not be good to a common man's health. :) :)

Fashion and the bik-beach

Long time since I came to this foreign land that Christopher Columbus discovered years ago. If he could see what his discovery looks today, he will be more than just happy. Apart from all the advances this country has done, the one thing that intrigues me most is the dressing style of people here.

In my country (Bharat Desh), fashion has a different quotient and a different motive. To be more clear, my country's fashion comes from the new style of clothing, creative design in ornaments, reflecting a different persona etc. etc. and definitely the motive is to present yourself better and beautiful than before (although in present scenario some of these can be contradicted). But, this place seems to have a different way of making a fashion statement. Showing your body in a million different ways is something I can attribute to the fashion quotient here. Looking at all the leading magazines of this country, that's one thing that reflects the most. I wonder how much does it contribute to this country's popularity. I am happy that men at least don't go around wearing shortest shorts and stuff, otherwise it will be very messy. :P

Well, I got a chance to enjoy this fashion today at the Santa Cruz beach. Its one of the finest places that Bay area has to offer. Basically for me this was the first bik-beach in US and I was not let down after watching all the bik-beaches in so many movies and all. One thing I have to say, the movie stuff and the real stuff is pretty similar here and these people don't really just put some fantasy stuff in movies like we do. At least that (movie experience) helped me to digest the most of it today. One thing is, I don't think anybody who goes to these beaches, does even look at the water...not even in the rarest instance. Hey hey hey, I am not talking about myself there :) :) .For a start this was not bad, though I think I still have a lot to see in here and I am definitely ready for it :) :)

Will keep you posted on my latest encounters.
