RED ALERT HYDERABAD!!

Bombay was on red alert and I was on my way back to room. And I suddenly realized I was walking down the area which is potentially the most prime terror target in the city. The hotel where we celebrated with our first salary had mechine guns popping out of sand bag bunkers at its entrance. Travelling in one of the cabs watching those loud decoratre Hyderabadi autos zip by... My cabbies' playing the famous Mohra numbers, while autowalaas here have loud sub-woofers. You can actually feel the melting pot that this city has become off late in the music these dudes play. Chillin in Hyd.. Great place to be.. the story about the numerous supercars on Hyderabad's roads'll be some other post.

SMILEY IN THE SKY :)

Today's one of the days when i saw these small immeterial things bring a smile to you in a rather pissing off day, which is all that really matters in the end. People around me know what's pissing me off. What my last post was all about.. the fiasco with my mails today and all this reminding me of my Ultimate Blues.

But this cumulative depression was suddenly cured when I was walking back from site. I looked up at the sky... BEEEAAUTIFULL!! the moon, the eversparkling lady Venus and Jupiter smiling down at us. The smiley in the sky cheered me up so much, i didn't even mind the evermad traffic of Hyderabad that was hellbent on steamrolling every pedestrian out there. Hyderamad traffic made me smile again when we guys spotted a typical hyderabadi auto, decorated loud, had 'BACHNA AE HASINO' written behind it.
Coming back to the smiley in the sky, I'm reminded of my sky-gazing days. Promise myself to get back at it. For the uninetiated just try and spot Venus, one of these days in the evening.. and I bet you'll be seduced into sky-gazing.
Can't help but imagine tonight's sky as nature sarcastic reaction towards the way we guys on earth are tearing each other apart. Reminding us that, "Hey! we'r in such a beautiful place!!"
