Am I crazy?

For those who dont know, it is Sun 2.30AM Pacific Time here..thats right..thats where i'm now..the bay area..the silicon valley, the US of A blah blah..

what am i doing wide awake at this time..well its not that late for techie..but not me..one who sleeps at 11 and gets up at 6..wah..heavy lunch buffet (needless to say that its indian) at a local restuarent on friday, follow it up with north indian dinner and THEN a heavy drinks party (can you believe it..3 large vodka..damn it)..round it off with hyderabadi briyani and go to sleep..you know somethings not right in stomach..you just know it, ain't you?

you get up and you have all the possible wrong things one can have..head ache, hang over, nausea, loose motion..you name it, i have it..and then you start feeling hungry..you suddenly crave for that special thing..idli and indian coffee..damn it..hungry and no way get a plate of idly..no car, no food..that right..welcome to california, the place designed on the assumption that everyone will have atleast one car (atleast?) and my stupid company decides not give it..damn it..call up some friend of mine who is rest room, checks up my call an later..rushes to help a over-drunken friend..takes me to a nearest Madras Cafe..thank god..2 plates of idli and a filter coffee later, you know the 200 Rs (yeah..5$..but you know my brain does this math always) is worth it..as come of the hotel to get the sun you rarely see, you know you've seen the bottom and the things are turning up!

went to beach santa cruz 40 miles away coutesy a friend of friend who has car, take a jolly ride and step on the freezing the pacific (no wonder i couldn't see single soul inside the water) like holy water tank and immediately back-off..boy..where is this day headed..come back..get whisked away by another friend to a conference where they tell you how to make money part time, how to lead a free life from debt, how not to make your boss rich, boy-oh-boy..have u seen those church preachers preaching the gods words and the entire crowd cries along with it..what a way to hook sw engineers who already spend very little time with family to not even have it and make them work part time making money so that they can live happily..yeah the same amway stuff..american version..u make in dollars..they r trying to hook me in..u know what, they dont give any time to you to think, 'cos if you think, u'll think through..i've a meeting with somebody tomorrow who'll explain me how this stuff works..god save me..pray i fall sick ..

and then you switch on the TV at 12 in the night with hamburger in your hand and you see this movie..whats the name..i dont know..missed the names..but you know one that hooks you on..that makes you feel good..makes it worth the toil..i like this romatic and mild comedies..not the american pie stuff (thats porn comedy i guess)..liek the serendipty stuff i wrote some time back..i found the name to be 'sleepless in seattle' by googling it..watch it..

good night..oh no..sun never sets in my empire..

more crazings from a foreign land later :-)
