Me a Straight-edge: Reason!

I don't drink alcohol or do drugs or smoke. There is a unique reason for me being a straight-edge. When ever I say this reason, most of them said its stupid and kiddish. I really don't care, coz that's the truth and I am proud of saying it. 

When ones a kid every one advices him to be a straight-edge. My parents and most of the elder during my younger days used to advice me not to drink alcohol or smoke. They used to say 'Don't do this coz its bad for health'. Well it might have been the same for most of us. I had a teacher in my 5th grade, her name was Menezes. She did not advice us saying not to do this and that coz its bad. She was a different one, she said 'Please do not smoke or drink, FOR ME'. I was really moved by her words. Its not because of my parents' advice or my elder's words,  I am a straight-edge just for my ma'am Menezes. Thank you ma'am.

One shouldn't...

Image
 (Part - 1) One shouldn't get up before the sunrise. One shouldn't take bath in a hurry thinking about missing the office shuttle. One shouldn't hog up breakfast just for the sake of eating. One shouldn't arrive at office when the maids are cleaning. One shouldn't work like a ass every single minute of the work-day. One shouldn't have lunch all alone and run back to the cubicle.     One shouldn't wait for the clock to strike 5, to get out of a cage (I mean cubicle). One shouldn't travel for more than two hours, just to reach home. One shouldn't have all evening spent in a bus full of idiots. One shouldn't worry about work even after reaching home. One shouldn't just always eat the perfect diet meals, watching lame TV shows. One shouldn't go to bed always thinking about the next day. (Part - 2) One shouldn't wait for a weekend to have something called fun.   One shouldn't always travel to only two places in

Journey Back Home 1

14th Aug 2008, I left my office at 8:30:10 PM. It was raining heavily, and heard that there was very very heavy traffic jam on the way. So I thought that it would take at least 2:30 hrs to reach home. So did my normal jobs which I do everyday in the bus. At 10:11:25 PM the bus crossed corporation, towards majestic. Well, that's where every thing stopped. The traffic was so much that the bus just moved 10-15 mtrs in some 1 hr. Now I came to know that my friend was also in the same bus. And due to this traffic jam, I made some new friends in the bus. AT 11:22:50 PM; me, my friend and other new friends decide to step out of the bus and walk till we find some clear road and then get an auto and head home. We were out of the bus and started walking, but on the way we came to know that there was traffic jam even for walking! It was really bad walking (jumping around) on the stagnant water on the road sides. The footpaths were crowded with people and autos. After we walked a bit, for our

The rest room Incident...

On 29th Aug 2010, I had my MS second semester exams. The exam center was DPS Bangalore. My room was in a new building. The building was not fully constructed yet only 2 floors were done. I was searching for a rest room. In one corner I saw a man coming out of a room washing his face. So I assumed that it was the rest room. Went in, but I was shocked to see a lot of doors. I held the knob of the door, the door suddenly started to open. Right there, right there; I still cant forget that moment; a lady came out. Well I think u can guess my face and feel at that time. Not that I was shocked, stunned or ashamed; but I was really embarrassed.  I asked her sorry for some 10~15 times. Thank GOD she did not scold or slap me, she obliged with me. When I came out I found that there was no sign board. Uff, that was one incident to remember for life .
