Amazing Feats

Literally 'lost my mind' last night. After some wild partying, a couple of bottles of good ol' Kingfisher and quite a few generous shots of Smirnoff, came back to my room and suddenly realized that the inside of my skull is feeling rather empty. Scared the crap out of me. Went looking for my brain along the wing corridor, even downstairs all the way to the cycle stand, thinking all the time when was the last time I used it, when realization dawned upon me - I could still see, remember things and, most importantly, think! How could the brain be lost? Hehehehe, how silly.

Don't know how long the 'hollow feeling' lasted (or how I made it back to my room from the cycle stand after that hysterical bout of laughter that followed my 'realization'); am feeling fine now, thank you very much. Couldn't get any sleep though, so was surfing the web when came across the great deeds of this French man. It needs talent for a person earning less than 150k USD pa to cause a 7 billion USD loss to his company (that's like almost 50,ooo times his salary!), without standing to earn a single penny from the entire process (as in, according to whatever has been discovered till now). This guy has to be a genius. Imagine if only his 'direction of genius-ness' was pointing to a direction favorable to his company.

And oh yeah, YAH's back in town. Rejoice. Applaud. Drink and make merry.
Today's strip wasn't created with anybody in mind, but, well, am dedicating it to Monsieur Kerviel for his amazing feat. Please don't mind, bitches.

Yenjoy.

What I want

* To be the vocalist/songwriter/guitarist of an electrifying 3(or4)-piece band with like-minded, talented, serious fellow musicians who are into it just for the love of music and nothing else.

* A set of guitars, a decent amp, a decent floor-equipment setup, a decent recording setup.

* To live in a small studio cum apartment, where I can also pursue my interests in art, poetry and cartooning, in a quiet, tranquil place, but not too far away from civilization.

* A computer with an unlimited broadband connection, a nice sound card and lots of disk space filled with tons of music, concert videos and sitcom episodes.

* A decent 9-to-5 day-job to support all these.

* A few like-minded, trustworthy, unpretentious close friends, who need not be mad about art and music themselves, but can understand that people can be madly passionate about certain things.

* A girl who'd be there beside me, whose love would act as a constant pillar of emotional support and source of inspiration for all my dreams; someone who understands me, and loves me for what I am, not what she can potentially turn me into. In short, a girl I can be madly in love with.

* Around 4 cups of decent, home-made tea everyday. Especially during monsoon downpours and cold winter nights (yes, I need the monsoons).

* Some quality time to spend with my Mom and Dad. And, about 6 hours of sleep and a few minutes of total joblessness everyday (I need some space between the lines). And yeah, at least one Saturday every month devoted entirely to reading.

* A trustworthy part-time maid/butler to get the essential house chores (cleaning, washing, sweeping etc) done (that's something I seriously don't enjoy doing; but I do like things neat and clean).
