How to save petrol??? Increase traffic!!!

Recently petrol prices have touched a whopping $140 a barrel on the international market. Every nation is working on various strategies which would lower petrol consumption. Some of those strategies include use of renewable/perpetual energy sources such as wind energy and solar energy. One (stupid) strategy would be to increase traffic, resulting in traffic jams!!!

Let me explain how. My cousin and I, on my bike, were going back home through Bellary Road one sunny Saturday afternoon. Just after the TVS showroom, we got stuck in a major traffic jam. I waited for a minute and then switched my bike off. It was standstill traffic. Every couple of minutes, the traffic used to move a meter or two. I didn’t bother to switch on and pushed my bike for that extra meter. Same was the case with other bikers. This continued for about 20 minutes. Only then did I realize that not a single drop of petrol was used by the bikers stuck in that jam.

Call me stupid but petrol was saved!!!

Why I love YouTube

YouTube today is the rage among people of all ages. Some use it for watching their favourite songs; some use it for watching the “greatest catch ever in cricket history” again and again; while others use it for educational videos. It is highly unlikely that someone hasn’t heard about YouTube.

Well, enough said about YouTube. “Why I Love YouTube” is for a different story altogether. Back in my school and B.E. days, I was not a loser I am now. I had my share of crushes and infatuations during those days. I (kind of) liked a girl but hadn’t spoken to her. This one time, I decided to tell my heart out. I went to her and started with “I have been observing you for a long time, you have made a special place for yourself in my heart” blah blah. Then out of nowhere I spurted out “I Love You”. The following events happened in less than a second… When I said those 3 words, I could see that she was amazed and shocked. Seeing her shocked I was shocked too, instantly realizing what I had told and had to do something about it quick to lighten the situation. So I ended up saying “…Tube”.

So my friends, now you know Why I Love YouTube.

PS: We had a nice laugh about the incident though. I haven’t spoken to her since.

My dad describes me as

Karnatakada Kanmani, Kannadammana Kanda, Kantri Kariya, Kempapurada Kitchenninally Kari Kallinamele Kuthukondu, Kaalu Kenne Keriyuttha, Kyie Kadiyouttha, Kari Kaapi Koka Kola Kudiyuttha, Karnana Karma Kathe Krishanana Kyeli Keluttha, Kattalinalli Kannu Kattikondu Kanasu Kaanuttha Kuthiddane Katte.
