Thoughts from the top of my head - I

I'm at office and its 11 15 pm. I want to write, but dont know what. So I'm going to write random thoughts from my mind. Here goes...

• Did you know that in the whole of Greece, there is not a single proper mosque? Surprising innit? More so when you consider that the Muslim population of the country is almost 0.2 million.

• For people wanting a change from the television, I'd suggest radio as a very good alternative. And please...Radio is not only about our FM channels that belt out music 24 hours everyday... In case you have a Broadband internet connection at home, check out the BBC website (For a host of channels catering to all genres of taste like Drama, Speech, News, Sports, and the ubuiquitous Music) and NPR (National Public Radio) - for some entertaining programs like 'Wait..Wait..Dont tell me' and 'All Things Considered'.

• In my office, there is a catering service which gives paper coupons in exchange for money and which you exchange for food (confusing innit?? Dont be...Theres more ahead). Every time you give the person who collects the paper coupons and supplies food, your paper coupons, he tears them away and gives you the food. At the end of the day there is such a big pile up of paper coupons, that I wonder if it is a good idea wasting so much paper????? And if it wouldnt be more (environmentally) sensible to use an alternate source of food distribution...like plastic tokens for example, which could be used over and over again. But oh...Here comes the Anti-plastic group hurling stones at me...I better rush...And ... in case you have a solution, please mail me....

• Phew! That was some running....I had to literally sprint to escape those save-the-environment crusaders. Talking of running...I cant help boast that I ran the Mumbai marathon in 2006 and in fact, with very little practice, was able to complete 21 kms. That day (January 15th) was memorable to be in more than one way (A very few people would understand this), but the running was great. In fact, let me let you in on a little secret of mine. One thing which kept me going in the terrible heat of the January Mumbai sun, taking on the challenge of trudging along for the entire 21 kms, was the zillions of glasses of free lemon juices that I got along the entire length of the run. Sounds zany doesnt it? Well...Zany, but true!

• Here comes the cleaner asking me to move so that he could mop the floor beneath me. Its mind boggling the number of auxilary services required to run a huge organisation. Catering, House-keeping, and Travel are just a few...
