The Wedding Season... all about intercaste marriages

Posted On Thursday 5 November 2009 at at 12:07 AM by Sneo  

This period of time starting October all the way to December is an absolute marriage season. And now that cousins are getting married, your's truly has also been branded "marriageable" and is keenly observing all the marriages. When I announced my cousin's marriage to a firang friend, he asked "did the stars match?" and I replied "i dont know. he's marrying someone he liked". For once I shook my head and realized what I said. Truly my cousin married for love!


Ok, now the trivia. A few days after the wedding was announced all aunties and uncles were busy, not working for the marriage but gossiping about the "girl from a different caste". Just as I saw passed by any relative intermittently, the curiosity I had, turned slowly from interest to disgust. Oh! how much they gossiped! And then they poured out their hearts to the groom's parents to induce more misery to the already love-marriage-shocked parents. After a few months, all this had passed and it was time to drop invites. The grand uncles and grand aunties relative circle had already run out of gossip for this subject and the groom and family made a grand entrance to personally invite us all. Again a new topic started in the grand circle. "The family has no friction now" gossip. But then there are people interested in that as well.

The marriage itself. I wont even go into any details of it. Except there were loads of people, looking different and inducing gossip topics among my grand circle. But I am sure, the gossip was equally reciprocated by the bride's grand circle as well. Whoooaa! How do they have so much energy after retirement?

Anyway, here's me wishing cousin and his bride a great life ahead!

Dummies guide to doing your own thing

Posted On Thursday 29 October 2009 at at 11:10 PM by Sneo  

If you work for someone/ are being employed by a corporation and yet crave to not be a slave, you might want to read this. Else, you could happily skip or provide your valuable guidance to dummies.


Maybe you are a person you doesn't like taking orders. Or maybe you just believe "great men don't listen to anyone", but now are being forced to be "little" by taking orders. Live frugal and save for that thing you want to do. The author of this blog thinks a coffee shop in the next road or a junk jewelery store in Hampi are perfectly good ideas for doing your own thing. But then, frugal living and saving wont fund a business. You need to take some bigger risks. Like a loan. Is that the biggest fear?
Lets say you are working for a big corporation and take your job seriously like anyone else. Is the seriousness reciprocated? I wonder!

My friend started investing a substantial portion of the salary in running a paying guest accommodation in Bangalore and made some good money.
I heard a happening chain of coffee shops in India, running business from atleast a decade, recently broke even.
Cousin moved from USA to random asian cities for few months each for the happening asian party scene.
Inspiring me yet confusing me!!!!

Thai Delight

I am back from 8 days in Thailand, tanned, deprived of sleep and completely loving it. Everything about Thailand is amazing!! The hospitality of ever smiling Thais, shopping paradises in Bangkok, turquoise waters down south, crystal clear beaches with white sand, the larger than life full moon party in Koh Phangan and most of all the PRICES!

Really affordable and completely enjoyable!
