Life today

Argh! It feels so bad to be sufferinf grom constipation...you know there's stuff in the stomach, it moves round and round, but it disobeys gravity and comes up rather than going down. It is very irritating, uncomfortable, and it really saps one of his happiness, health, pleasure from life's good things.

So after returning from the driving school, where we learned about how change tyres, replace engine oil, brake oil, and a fan-belt which probably the insructor himself had never changed in his life; how to distinguish brake oil (he made me the tester- I dipped the right index finger right into the stuff, and it came out burning), how to shift gears et al, and of course, how the engine works: हवा और टेल के मिश्रण को करंट देके फाध्तें हैं, और उससे एक शक्ति पैदा होती है...anyway, after returning from the driving school, I have been sleeping half a dozen hours....there was general morbidity- problem in the stomach, things stuck inside the esophagus, and body stiff from an unnaturally long sleep, and then a slight fever. Argh!!!

There were a couple of things I forgot to mention in the previous (ta ra rum pum वाला) post. Like the new buisness of advertising through movies. There were atleast half-a-dozen brands which advertised in this movie. Chevrolet Aveo, obviously, but also Castrol GTX, MetLife, McDonald's (okay, that may have been co-incidental), JK Tyre, and a few others which I've forgotten.

Then there was the issue of RV attacking and over-turning Rusty's, which I touched upon as the reason why I deducted half a point from the movie's rating. I really didn't like that attitude of giving-it-back, an-eye-for-an-eye, and revenge. Everything is not fair in love and war. And sports. You play by the rules. Of course, that फिरंगी shouldn't have done that to poor old RV, but why did Our Man have to do the same thing to his arch-rival? If he knew what it is to suffer an injury in sports, why did he have to do that to someone else?

The cousin with whom I saw the movie remarked that it was necessary for RV to make Rusty realize the latter's mistake. But as I said, having gone through hell himself, would one sportsman want to make another go through the same fire?
