Koffee with Kulfi!

What started off as a general question turns into a heated discussion. Happens to me a lot. Mostly because I'm the one who tends to disagree... A LOT! Lets not get into that now, for this post is about something more pressing. A friend and I were at the Hi-tech city station, waiting for the train(We missed the previous one by a minute), and I decided that it was the right time to do some introspection(not that I had anything better to do). Turns out by the time we reached our detination we were having a heated discussion about politicians and their sons. I won't go into the specifics of what we discussed but the discussion followed a trail like this
Career Option->Beggars->Slumdog Millionaire->China->Black Money->Correction Facilities->Government->People's mindsets->Government->GDP->Politicians->Lal Bahadur Shastri->Politicians sons!
Yep, I know, thats one of the hazards of having a conversation with me! (Verbose? What else is new?)Maybe, but on the whole it was a pretty animated conversation me, with my passionate "lets go kick some ass" and his passive "inaction can sometimes be the solution" philosophy. I guess we entertained the whole compartment! Well on the whole the conversation was an eye-opener, Activists can never be journalists! Me and my big mouth would've gotten me and P into a lot of trouble today. There was this siren which was going on incessantly and I had chosen that exact moment when the auto dude(a Muslim bhaiyya) stopped infront of a mosque to say "What is that horrible noise?" Figures that the siren stands for the end of roza(fast Muslims keep in the holy month of Ramzaan)! Ooopss!!! Me living in Hyderabad and every other street vendor selling Haleem it didn't even occur to me that it was the month of Ramzan! Poor P could only mange an embarassed "I-don't know-her-don't kill- me-for it" smile. Had the most amazing kulfi, in the rain, getting totally drenched, all thanks to P again. You see I'm not the types to experiment much (If its raining I'd like a hot mug of coffee and some cookies)! But, kulfi and rain, well the rather prejudiced me has to admit, P it was good, but nothing beats coffee and cookies!:)

My first post

Here goes.... This is my very first post in my blog. That is quite something for the lazy me, but, hey, change is always good right?
