When I felt like Shammi Kapoor

Okay, first things first. I am not a dancer. I do not dance, and even when I do I am not a great dancer. In fact, I feel I am slightly better than not dancing at all.
So what do I mean I felt like Shammi Kapoor? It means my body was shaking involunatrily, in all ways possible without any control. I also felt myself humming a song of Shammi Kapoor.
Hold on... I was not in any disco ( I have never been to one). Nor I was in any party( No parties from sometime now).
I was infact in a BMTC bus going to my sister's house. The bus was on Bannerghatta road when I felt what I have stated above. The road is so horrible that all the people in the bus were swaying. The condition of the road is the same from some months. It was okay if a small portion was bad, but a strech of about 2 kms is bad. There have been some repair work done, but it is just patch work. They will surely disappear with the first monsoons.
Such is the state of affairs in an important road in the country's silicon capital.

A couple of the tests I took on the web

I was going thru a blog of a friend . I found a link for testing how weird a person is:

61% are more weird,
11% are just as weird, and
27% are more normal than me!


After some time I took another test for nerdiness


I am nerdier than 51% of all people. Are you nerdier? Click here to find out!


I am nerdier than 51% of the people.

Divine Grace

I believe in God. He exists and is the reason for the existence of this Universe. Many people do not believe in God. The reason they cite is that we have no proof of the existence of God. So how can one say that God exists?

There has been an incident which has reinforced my faith in God. My parents were returning from Tirupathi with others. They came to Hubli by train and were going to our place by tempo.
Due to the mistake of the driver, their vehicle met with an accident in the Western Ghats. Though the vehicle was smashed, no passenger was severly injured. Also the tempo moved across the road and hit a tree. Beyond the tree was the depth of the ghats....

Tell me now, is is not a case of divine blessings that they did not have severe injuries.The locals were also surprised at this. At the same time, they thanked God for His blessings. This incident shook many but also strengthened their faith in God.
