Scottish Bar on St. Mark's is one of the few places in Bangalore that caters to the college crowd as well as the working class of the city. Its location on St. Mark's road makes it easily accesible to all Josephites be it commerce or science as well as the crowd that wants to stray off the street for a drink or two (namely me). Although it doesn't sport a wide variety of drinks, it still has a good charm to it and is probably one of the better places to watch the World Cup at.

The place also sports a wine that is made inhouse that is pretty good and comes close to a Port Wine finish leaving a sweet and rather woodsy taste in the mouth. The pricing in the joint is also fairly decent leaving you with money to spend on a date after your done.

Rating - 8 /10

Is This What They Call Love On A Saturday Night

Ahhh,
Joy, what else can I describe today as. After so many weekends spent out at bars and pubs i finally took the day off and decided to stay indoors, the result was so refreshing that now i think im going to do this more often. Sometimes i think we do something regularly for so long that we lose the taste for it so from now on i am going to have weekends off from my regular weekends (does that really make sense?) lol ill let u figure it out.

A Now Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Programming

21:30 IST Bangalore

Sometimes I amaze myself. After a days worth of work and a run in the morning I decide to go out for drinks with friends from college. Why? because you dont get a chance to meet the people that went to college with you very often when you live on a total different continent. Anyways, here we are the three of us and we go to a regular joint where we have a few drinks and discuss how and why India and the infrastructure it has now will not go anywhere because of politics and all that jazz.

23:30

Now we're outside the bar and jonesing for a nice spliff to give tribute to Bob the man and have a good time. We finally manage scrounge some off a bouncer in the bar (through a contact) and off we go on a drive around B'lore at night. Im guessing it was somewhere in between the consumption of smoke and the driving around that i suddenly realized that the best time to go around B'lore is late in the evening on a week day. The roads were serene and traffic is next to negligible. Additionally, there are some nice places in B'lore that can be seen in the night.

1:30

At this point in time we've moved onto spliff no. 3 and we're having a good time. It was then that I realized how much I actually miss Melbourne and all the people that went to school with me. Alas, I am now in b'lore and slowly starting to like it. It's like coming full circle. When I first went to Melbourne it was good and exciting and then it went into a lull for a long time but I weathered the bad times and then the good times rocked. Im guessing its only a matter of time before the bad times stop and the good times roll again.

Viva Melbourne

What White Paint Can Do For Your Discipline

There are some good things about bangalore and then theres the chaos and confusion that people in India have come to deal with not out of necessity but habit.

Todays rambling is about something i strongly feel India is in need of --- White Paint on the Road.

Now you must be thinking, he must be off his rocker to want to do soemthing like that and what the fuck is he talking about maybe he has had too much to drink or something lol. But hear me out. If someone took some white paint and drew some lanes we'd have less traffic jams, infact, if someone got off their lazy arses and put a divider on the road we'd have less confusion and fewer people driving cars cause it would take forever to get somewhere.

BUTTTTTTTTTttt... is that going to happen? HELL NO. Why? because we want to be backward in our discipline and claim to be a rising nation. Get the cows off the road and then we can call one of our cities a metropolitan, get the people to obey all the traffic laws and then we can talk about competing with the best cities in the world.

Its been a long day and im tired but I had to get this off my chest.

Oh and for the record if anyone asks we have no truly metropolitan cities in India.

Playing Snakes and Ladders on a board that sports only Snakes

You know when you were young (lol now i sound old) your parents at some point or the other introduced you to the game of snakes and ladders. The objective was simple, all you have to do is get from the number 1 to the number 100 while rolling some dice and maneuvering your token through a chicane of snakes and ladders.

The beauty of this game is that it teaches us two things.

- Luck is sometimes necessary to get to the top and you may have all the skill but you'll never get there if you are luckless.
- Hard work and time can sometimes get you to the finish line.

Last week i had a talk with my so-called managers about quitting the company that i currently work for. What happened? the dirty sons of bitches put me in a corner and told me that they were going to have me blacklisted if i didnt meet their demands or rather requests. It was so sad because I now feel that coming home might actually have been a good eyeopener for me as to how stupid and childish even top management can be when they want to be.

If these assholes think I am going to bend backwards for them they have another thing coming but wait oh wait for time is on my side and so is guile

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
