Days like this, thankfully, do not occur very frequently.<\/p>\n

Finished very late last night. Was working on a proposal that is just not gelling together. I have all the data points. I have all that is needed – but the proposal itself lacks a soul… Grappling with it meant that I slept way past the witching hour. The proposal still isn’t done. Am stuck. Maybe tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Getting up this morning and driving to town was tough. the roads are terrible. the Highway is shredded . I won’t go into a litany of my aches and pains caused by being on the road … suffice to say I will vote for any party or individual for BMC – who can guarantee me good roads and good civic infrastructure. This is ridiculous. Forget Shanghai – it will be good if Mumbai roads are as good as rural Maharashtra for roads ..<\/p>\n

Post lectures was driving back to office via the worli sea face to catch the sea-link – the only 4 km stretch that has no pot holes in Mumbai. Traffic was moving smoothly till stopped by a bunch of guys in uniform. Armed Forces types. A massively\u00a0monstrous vehicle (actually vehicles) were standing by to take a U turn.<\/p>\n

\"30<\/a><\/p>\n

All i could think of was “Wow, the Armed Forces are planning for the moon mission, and they have come to test out their vehicles in Mumbai”
\n—————————–
\nYes. I do tend to channelise my inner Calvin at times – lots of times..<\/p>\n

Usually when I am driving – its ‘those little scenes from Calvin when he pretends to blow up the world … \ud83d\ude00 I look at vehicles that have just cut me from the left or two wheelers that are honking – and i wonder what it will take to\u00a0de materialise\u00a0them. ‘boom’ boom’ \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

It took me almost an a hour and a quarter to get home from work – My office is 11 kms away … if not for Bhimsen Joshi singing Miyan ki Todi on the car music system, I am quite sure i would have been homicidal…. I was anyway half way there.<\/p>\n

—————————-<\/p>\n

Reading had to be something light. Something that would make me laugh. And it was a collected edition of Calvin and Hobbes – an exhibition catalogue<\/a>. <\/strong>The brothers had got it for me for a birthday – a few years ago. And whenever I am feeling low or exhausted – i take it out of the book shelf and savour a few panels. It usually reflects a state of mind ..\u00a0Today’s was this \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
