Hope none files a case against me for mentioning Barista in my blog. Then again, it really depends on what I write, isn’t it? Here we go:

Well, Bangalore for all its problems has one thing which no one could beat- not in my books, the best coffee in India. You can buy this from me, I have been all over India, and quite a few places abroad(thanks to my work) but I never ever had a better coffee than the one I am having now. It is hot here, YES IT IS- but the shade of the huge umbrellas are just enough, but surprise- the clouds are back there hiding the sun, and guess what- It suddenly feels atleast 5 degrees cooler.

This is what I love too about Bangalore-the weather, no NOT the type we hear about- always cool IT IS NOT. What it is having instead is the typical unpredictability we find in a woman’s behaviour. Any woman for that matter I believe, we fear it but love it. Now now, back to where we were:

Our dear Baristites are playing some good music in the language of the English- too bad I do like the beats but am too Indian to understand the lyrics. Its nice though. No wifi- am on my Vodafone USB stick(Oops……one more lawsuit).

I think this is what I really deserved after what I had today- the “yellow fever vaccination” since yours truly is travelling to Africa soon. The shot took 5 seconds, but the ordeal lasted for close to two hours ONLY. Did I mention that the lady-in-charge wanted a bribe of Rs.100/- other than the usual charges- she called it “service fees” whatever that means. And to top it all she was a joint director or something like that.

Before I forget- MG Road is changing big time, what with the Metro project and trees being cut off.

Enough of that……………….time to sign off now.

We talk and talk and talk. So, I thought why NOT to write instead- keep my mouth shut and mind open,atleast would try to.Here I go,you would think that I play safe,isn't it? qualifying my statements! you have an opinion and so do I. OK, may be you don't or may be you think mine is not important enough. Either way, what would you do to suppress mine? You may ask why should you suppress? Well, there are a number of reasons:

• You think I am an a*****e - the most likely  guess,
• I am talking non-sense,
• You don't like my opinion etc. etc.

But again- why would you NOT allow my opinion? Because- there are a number of reasons again. You do that to me all the time, you ask me when to talk, when to stand-up, when to sit down,when to listen, when to read, when to write, what to watch, what to eat, what to do!!!!

Who gave you the right to assume that all you do is right and all I even think is wrong.Who decides what is right and what is wrong? who judges who is good and who is bad?who gave the rights to whom?

Enough! I will do what I think is right, and what I think benefits me. I DO NOT want to be judged and I DO NOT WANT JUDGES ON MY HEAD.

You are the media, newspapers, politicians, police and the system- I am a citizen of this world. Let’s see who wins.
