Do people like to be alone? And I am not talking about teenagers who feel their parents are suffocating them. Do any mature adult wants to be alone? I seriously doubt that. Because instinct of talk is one of the basic instincts. Why you even hear babies talking incessantly even though nobody understands them.

They think avanige/avalige marulu. mental - manasika. Psycho. So you need another person with you so that you can hear your own voice - such a beautiful and pretty voice. Incessantly.

Today I finally had my jnanodaya - I realized why men like - love their vehicles and are so passionate about it. Men love to have their daily dose of adventure. A vehicle gives it to them. Sitting on it, they feel they have super power, they are invincible. Not only that. Riding a vehicle on Bangalore road gives them real adventure. They have to cross hillocks. People call them man hole covers. They come across sudden obstructions. And they have to avoid the wells. And if they are lucky enough, they have to ride through the rivers. Rivers on the roads if it has rained heavily. Luckier ones get to swim in rivers, if they are unable to locate a drain in overflowing roads. For the aggressive types, there can even be verbal duels with extreme invectives. Sad thing is there can not be sword fights.  So if this is not adventure sports, what else is? I am sure men and women on moon will be wondering why do number of craters keep growing on this planet. And why some times they...

No, no. I am not writing a post like those sms or email messages which tell you that you have won 1 million dollars and you need to only send your account number. I am writing a humorous post about how you ladies and gentlemen, can fulfill your dream of shopping till you drop but still spend no money at all. I am seeing this advertisement in comedy central channel about a well known shopping mall which is telling me that "You shop for Rs. 6000, you pay only Rs. 3000 and you get back Rs. 3000." So how much do you spend? 0! right! Why don't you head there and shop for free!!
