Scary...

There is this program on Discovery called 'Colors of India' that is going on. Nilekani and Premji are spouting shit about globalization and blah, the offices look swanky and hell...I am going to be one of those don't-care-a-damn-techie in 7 days from now.

And then there are thousands of folks in our very namma Bangalore who live in absolute squalid conditions.

Fuck...we are a fucking heartless bunch!

God save this country!

we are, aren't we?

Maybe if the techies in the swanky offices can do their bit to reach out to in-squalid-condition-life-livers.

Live-rs, not liver-s.

it is not just the poor who live in squalid conditions in bangalore...so does most of the bean town...the whole fucking city is going to rabid rottweilers due to the immigrant problem...if you wish to do this city a favour then please make them philistine immigrants at office feel 'not at home'...

@VVD : Hmmm...well i know one liver that is in a really sqaulid condition. Mine. :)


@Yak: If you are born in bangalore then you are not an immigrant, right? You just got thrown around half of india and yet had the balls to come back?

I will do my boit and make them philistines feel shitty.

Point...How can any self-respecting kandu choose a pizza and coleslaw over masala dosa and chutney?

veni, vedi, dormivi... said...

coleslaw sucks.

how can any self-respecting south indian for that matter do the same?

masala dosa and chutney OWN! (though I'm a tad partial to sambhar.)
as do rava upma and medu vada.
and thair sadam and mavadu!
And avial and lemon rice!
(okay, the last would be an Iyer affair)

Death to foreign food!

Safari Al said...

Yes...yes...we get the idea.

Which is why I still love watching jaggesh and rajni saar!

In the past few years, all rates in bangalore have gone sky-high..just because there are enough ppl(techies) who're ready to throw their money around...just imagine the condition of,...hmm...well...say a BMTC conductor or a driver...how the hell are they gonna live in the same city as these techie immigrant naaaarthie naayigalu? cost of livingt in bangalore has gone reaaaallly high

Safari Al said...

Exactly my point. People are ready to pay twenty bucks for a fricking masala dosa in some third rate darshini joint, when they can get a damn decent one in vidyarthi bhavan for some 12 bucks.

But, then the american don't eat masala dosa so it is not cool to eat masala dosa

Safari Al said...

pls join 'banglore is full, go home' community on orkut.

next, we dont want immigrant northie dogs (most of them, but exceptions do exist. there are rotten people on all sides) staying over and giving us a hard time and hiking up the rates of everything from real estate to masales. kill 'em.

@bharath, safari:
no offense moms...but what exactly is the criteria for someone to be called as an 'immigrant' or 'maNNina maga'?

Safari Al said...

I'd say born in bangalore????

Safari Al said...

@h: and you have a name???

Unknown said...

@ indus creep:i'd say anything living or dead that crept into bangalore post software boom...mannina maga= someone who does not think he owns the place but does actually + knows the mannina medium(kannada)..

Safari Al said...

@bhayak : Strong! Kill the fuckin' philistines!

Indus Creep said...

thoo...anything that crept into blore post software boom and made the city worse aint mannina maga...they're immigrant northie philistine hordes. kill 'em all...

mannina maga is someone who 'does not think he owns the place but actually does'???? what this means

Unknown said...

I am now a Techie "immigrant" in Noida. Here's hoping they don't ask me to @#$! off any time soon.

Safari Al said...

@Ra: No it's not something you have to worry about. they are still in the stone-age. They drink bottled beer and not draught beer...!
