What's your Kryptonite?





Kryptonite

There are times when you feel low and depressed and instead of getting drowned in those thoughts what if you wrote all those things that make you sad and depressed? Your Kryptonite.

 

I have listed top 5 Kryptonites that are necessarily not my Kryptonites.

Most of you would say its a perfect recipe to get into deeper depression but I say give it try.

Considering one is really a normal human being what could be his/her kryptonite? Well no such thing exists as normal human being but you get what I real mean don't you?

 

 

Without any order or logic here are the Kryptonites:

1. Manager/boss - Makes some vibrate like a tuning fork. As far as I have heard and seen this fear is temporary and in your case if it isn't then may God bless you.
2. Dogs - Let me not hide, I love dogs. They are so selfless and full of joy. I secretly hate people who think a dog is their kryptonite. What's the worst that it can do to you? Give you saliva bath. Dirty your trouser and maybe even tear it. If it happens to be a stray dog it might just bit you.
3. That girl or boy you loved - No matter how much self discipline and control you exercise, ex is always a threat. It is so easy to slip into past and not come back for hours or day or even worse like what's shown in the movie Inception.
4. Gadgets - Shocked? Then you can simply skip this and move to the next. You are clearly not a gadget freak. That gadget you saw floating in water or those flashing images of your most precious handsfree which was stolen.
5. A song - Never thought a song like Yellow by Cold Play can be a powerful Kryptonite. It has the power to slowly and quietly kill you by injecting memories drowning you and your gadgets in tears. Extremely powerful.
6. Emptiness - This one is a consolation for those who don't relate to any of the above. In some ways, you are better off here. Emptiness is ridiculously empty. Its like a black hole. Generally experienced when you don't have so many things which are essential to experience the other 5 Kryptonites like self-confidence hence no job, money, friends and a zillion more.

How about a mega Kryptonite which will look like 1-5 and then experiencing the 6th Kryptonite?

Well that explains why people call them losers.





Hello Ahmedabad! Kem cho?

With lot of expectation and hope I landed at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, Ahmedabad.
The scene at the airport and around came as shocker. The word DEVELOPMENT in big bold letters shattered in my head with every auto rickshaw ride around the city for nearly 2 weeks.

When I shared it with the locals, they reacted as though they hear it everyday and appeared as though they have a script ready as an answer - 'Criminal politician ki effect hai. Vikas sirf baath mein, asli et yehi hai.  Dheere dheere "AAP" ko patha chalega.'

By now, two things would be clear in your mind:

1. I am clever in pointing fingers at Modi ji without taking names
2. My Hindi sucks and mostly probably you will be wanting to punch me in my face or something. Sorry, it will get better and reflect in my next blog post. Hopefully.

It isn't that I disliked everything but I was disappointed. There are plenty of good things to quote. Before that I must thank Hemal Mehta's TheAhmedabadBlog.com which came handy and helped visit good places.

Now the good things:


Sugarcane - Hand crushed by the hawker

1. Food
2. Yummy food
3. Super yummy Gujju meal (this is on top of my to-do list. Don't be shy to invite me for a Gujju meal)
4. Mouthwatering Khakhra
5. Junk food at Law Garden (pronounced as 'LOW' garden!)
6. Pretty expensive food at Swati Snacks (not so popular with autowalas. Drove us all around the town to locate)
7. Ice Cream at Havmor (branches in every gully and main road like CCDs' in Bangalore)
8. Roadside Vada Pav and Chaats (load your pocket well, it ain't cheap)
9. Chilled sugarcane juice (photo)

So many yummy tummy experiences clogging my mind and my stomach starts growling.

Moving away from food topic, it was quite evident people here are warm and welcoming.
For 4 days there was no drinking water at home and our neighbor covered for us even without asking them. Appreciate their concern and care.
Ahmedabad autowalas are not mean nor they hoodwink but I must admit it was quite scary how they zip through traffic recklessly like any other vehicle on road I saw.


Well, that's it for now. Please re-read point number 3 under 'Now the good things'. I will graciously accept your invite. ;)
