Just like Nexus

Trying to see how it would feeling typing through nexus7 without an external keyboard.

Definitely better than my s3 primarily because of the cover which keeps this thing tilted and in nice position to type.

But tad irritating and definitely no where near PC comfort. While typing this I accidentally  minimized the screen 3 times and for some reason space bar doesn't always work.

Now trying with swipe feature.. It definitely reduces typing errors and seems  to be reasonably fast. I think I can live this. so far only two wrong assumptions by swipe and it can be heaven for someone who makes lots of typing errors only hitch  is I can't use slang or colloquial terms much if I am swiping.

Next task is going to test this with email external keyboard but I think swipe will win the battle. Will update the blog once I get the key board.. Till then ciao !!!

Final Thoughts

How did I end up here, I keep on asking myself.

I was a normal guy, which mind you at that time seemed worst possible thing and now, the most beautiful thing possible on this planet. There is nothing that I would not give up just to have that routine life with mundane task I so abhorred.  I would be ecstatic if that would happen. But nothing short of a miracle could take me back there.

So what happened that makes me say this.

It was not more than 2 months ago, I had moved to Austin. It was a new city for me and I had absolutely no one that I knew. Not even colleagues (I was one man show in my project). I did not mind this and I was in fact looking forward to living a solitary life, not having to talk to anyone apart from my computer.

Initial 15 days were pretty much what I expected, finding restaurants to eat, optimal path to go to work, finding a bar to go drink. However, it was not as much as fun as I expected it to be, for one thing I was still spending lot of time on laptop and television, which really did not give me that longing experience of solitariness.

Then like a blessing, I came across an ad on Airbnb ( which btw is decent site to find accommodation for few days ) which had a country house up for rent, now this was something just out of a television. It showed a small house in the country side by a meadow.It had all  basic necessities but house was in a less than impeccable condition. This had me both intrigued and excited , this was everything I ever wanted in a house. House where I can be by myself, no one by earshot, fields to walk through, country side to roam around, I could pick up hobbies which I could never otherwise do in my life, I could  get a dog, learn carpentry, do gardening, do my own little science experiments, do creative writing. Of course knowing myself, I knew not all of them or even one of them would be accomplished. But it opened up possibilities and gave me hope to do something different.

I decided to take a leap and rented out the apartment. To my great disappointment house was in pretty bad shape and only about half of it was usable. I convinced myself, this not to be an issue, as I probably do not need 3000 sq feet to myself.

One not so fine night I got up groggy eyed from sleep and headed for washroom.On my way I felt a pinch on my leg,when I looked down I saw I had stepped on piece of sharp wood with which I was trying to learn carpentry. I continued to washroom, that is were I noticed blood oozing out of my leg..I tried to take a closer look at the wound but I lost consciousness partially and took a bump on my head. I lay there for I know not how long. I regained my consciousness,  tied my handkerchief to my leg and did not give it much other thought.

I took a leave the next day and rested, I communicated my injury to my manager and requested work from home till I recover completely.

As I got comfortable in the house, I developed an inane fear of going out. I started getting disoriented, this could be attributed partially to my head injury and partially to being alone all this time. I felt I was going insane and would not be able to recover back. My house had started stinking from all the stale food,beer bottles and trash , It had become more messed up owing to my partially completed projects.

Had it not been for that chance status update where I saw one of my old friend coming to Ausitn, I would have decided to head back India to get back my sanity. I invited him over to my house, this I thought would keep me sane or at least confirm my suspicion about being delusional.

 I woke up from a very deep and sound sleep, It had been days since I had felt so refreshed. I had increased my alcohol intake and had been going to sleep daily intoxicated and continued drinking  in day time. It struck me that I don't remember last piece of work I did. Concerned about the deadline, I opened my laptop and was aghast and confused to see it was 10 days pass my deadline. I saw several 100 mails from my company where they tried to reach me. I was breathless as to how I could have let this happen, may be my head injury had caused partial memory lapse or had rendered me in a zombie state for days. Not that it mattered, I knew I was already fired.

I felt very sad and started thinking about my future, may be I could convince my company that I really was sick. However, the next piece of shock I got would ensure that my life has changed forever. I saw dry blood, I thought it was possibly from the fall I had other day but it seemed unlikely it was a different place.

Then as I followed the stream of blood , I saw a body lying there. It all came back to me like a huge tidal wave trying to run me over.

I saw flashes of images

'Me and Tarun hanging out, drinking together, him trying to go to bed intoxicated, me falling asleep and getting up disillusioned ,going on about as usual half delirious, till finally I saw Tarun lying down on his head, blackish patch near his head, nail half pierced near his small brain ( meudla oblongota ). I remember I was trying to figure what next to do and for some reason I thought drinking would help me, till I got intoxicated fell asleep and forgot about it altogether next day'

So now I here I am , jobless , with a dead stinking body in my attic, possibly mentally disturbed.

I do not see how I could convince anyone of what happened, I don't want to live alone anymore and I cannot face the sight of another person. I think I just don't want to live anymore

Last piece of thinking I will do is to find out best possible way to commit suicide. I would have continued to live for couple of more days ,drinking and going to sleep had it not been for the stinking smell from Tarun'

Just Like That

It seems that I have been cribbing a lot on my blog these days. So it only seems fair that I have an entry which is unlike that of a teenage girl and is well little upbeat.

#Something that has me excited (well as excited a soulless human can be :) ) since last couple of days is the fact that after postponing it 3/4 times and couple of heated emails with my senior managers I have finally booked my tickets to come to India ( Yaay me ).
There are still couple of loose ends, but nonetheless it still has me excited.

# It would be weird going back and finding that most of my friends are either married/ about to get married or went onsite..

# I am so psyched that I was contemplating staying there rather permanently. Because I fear 15-20 days of break will not help me get over my rut and make life more tolerable for me.

# I had couple of things I had decided I will do before going back to India, visit all theme parks in Orlando,Buy gifts for xyz and abc, buy awesome tablets and laptop. I think I might drop all of that except of course the tablet part.

# Had trouble updating my S3 from ICS to JB. But finally done looking forward to see how good 'Google Now' actually is.

# Surface Pro release has been delayed so I am dropping my plans to buy it.

# I haven't had Thai food in months now and Mexican food for weeks. Sheesh, there is something wrong.

# I am getting addicted to Chai latte that we have in Pseudo Starbucks shop in Team Disney building.

# Went on Character in Flight ride, which is basically a big hot balloon carrying about 10 people and going 300 feet high in air in Disney DownTown. ( Pics on google + :D )

#Watched couple of Hindi Movies, Tried watching Jab Tak Jahaan but gave up twice before I could even finish 1/3rd of it. It was kinda simply horrible. I thought I am getting completely alienated from Bolly movies but I did manage to watch 'Son of Sardar' completely.

#Found out that YouTube movie section has surprisingly good number of free movies. Esp Bollywood movies .

# Almost got kicked out of hotel but managed to convince them to let me pay boat load of money I can't afford for rent to let me stay for 15 more days..:P ( Post was getting bit too upbeat for my taste so had to bum it down a tad )

# I guess I am outta things to say.Cheerios !!

New Project

So I have been handed this awful project . To a place where there is no public commutation ( which btw was my only criteria before relocating ). This is what I hate about myself, not being able to firmly say no.

My New Project has almost all (well not all, but many..) elements that I hate

• Place with no public commutation, simply awful for someone like me who doesn't drive .
• Very hectic project.(I have to be in office by 6:00 am take that..). My ability to handle stress is not as good as I would want it to be, this was infact one of the reason why I left my previous company. I loose even more hair( I have already got a big bald patch ..:d) I become even more cranky and nihilistic.
•  Another dreadful thing, I like to do my development ideally in an isolated cubicle where I have my privacy. Here however all of us are stuck in a conference room. Where I would have to make an effort even to go to washroom because its just so damn congested and people talk and ask things, I don't like that..arghh..I hate it..and people are so social and I am also nervous with the fact that clients would be present there continuously..ahh..I hate it.

If Only I had a time machine ..grrr..

Without time machine my options now are..

• Spend awesome 7*2*24*52 =42grand..on just commuting to office and back and well + any other time I want to do anything. If only this were a feasible option. If only I earned butt load of money :P
• Leave project ,Leave Company , Come back(Go back) to India , Stay at home for 3-4  months and then apply for another job..:D Seems good...except for the career risk, still not a bad option.
• Tell manager I will leave unless you can give me other project. I know I am not going to be able to do that. :d
• Suffer in Silence, pay away nearly all my salary to a hotel and not save any money while I am working in this project and therefore defeat the very purpose of staying in US..:d by default option ..:d
• Get a DL and a Car ( too much work ).

Now, One good thing and the only one, is that Disney downtown is just opposite to me and therefore Disney World. Also Orlando has many awesome theme parks like Universal theme park with its awesome 3D simulated harry potter ride which I always wanted to visit.

Hopefully will be able to visit it sometime before head back home.

Yes, I realize I do crib a lot nowadays

Mid Night Stroll

Since I spent entire day croaked up in room, I decided to take up post midnight stroll . So in partially inebriated state, I started to roam around campus.


I really did not expect to see anyone, however I saw couple of cars coming and going. Also I came across an African American couple who were just so huge and roaming around aimlessly ( very much like me ) that they intimated me and I took a turn about. As I was walking back near my room, I saw a rather pretty girl sitting on pavement wearing shorts and talking on phone. ( Not a very usual sight at 1:30 in the morning )


After a round I thought of sitting on the bench just listening song, perhaps stare at moon. As I am listening to song staring at moon from a leafless brown tree, I hear a noise, could it be someone calling me.Who could call me, I don't know anyone here. I turn around and see a rather big woman approaching me with a decent pace, shouting something incorrigible. I have to tell you, It scared the bejesus out of me. I could make out she wanted me to leave and I did. I also noted she was in tears. After my initial shock wore off , I asked if everything was all right. Because she seemed in tears and hysterical. I asked her couple of times and then thought its best to go back to my room but then as I was walking back, I thought what the hell I can take few rounds around campus and then go back to room. So I decide to walk, and see the African american couple.However they do not seem as scary as the woman and I cross them looking at me suspiciously. I also see the pretty girl still talking on phone.


After few minutes I see someone laying down on the grass, I am too afraid to approach. As cars are coming and going I see one car with its headlight on and a person sitting inside it but not moving.This for me was little to surreal to be happening at 2:00 in night as I decide to walk back to my room I come across a cop . I tell him about the woman lying on the grass and lead him to it.I can see the guy still there in the car, I think about reaching out to cop again.But then think better of it and run back to my room.

Ma Day -7 24

Since I pretty much do nothing, I thought the least I can do is may be write about doing nothing. Hopefully, one day I'll see futile ways with which I waste my time and I'll be motivated to use my time wisely. This is going to be pretty boring and bland but possibly something which would give me enough sense of achievement that I can at least sleep properly at night.(Yes, my life right now, is that happening )

...

The Morning :

Usually I get up at 7:30 am ish and leave for office at 9:00 am. However, today I got up at 8:40 and caught 9:40 am bus to office ( while taking status call on cell phone ). I checked my mails and realized only other person with whom I share my cubicle is working from home today. ( That never ceases to make me happy ).Precisely at that moment I knew I would not work today. (I guess I do some amount of work just so that my cubicle mate doesn't think I just read blogs and do FB in office ).I found couple of new bloggers to follow and started reading their blog posts. At around 11:20 am I decided that I would work from 2pm-5pm enough time to complete my pending work.

The Friend:

I pinged one of my friend whom I had been meaning to talk since quite some days now. I had promised but not called her in past week (my infamous memory to blame for it ) so she was bit angry well me or well at least pretended to be. She had told me there is a big news she wanted to share but I did not give it much thought.. So now when I pinged her she blurted out that she is getting married this December. Friends now getting married always leaves me speechless and often stunned. I had to call her after that. So we started talking and blaming each other, she blamed me for not calling her and I blamed her for not telling me when got engaged ( although she did not technically get engaged ). Since it was quite spirited talk I was afraid I'd be loud and would have to bear the brunt of  people working around me and so thought of stepping out. Once out, I thought its already time for lunch so should go to some restaurant.(In case you are wondering, Yes, I spend a fortune eating out ). Anyway, I took the bus while on call and got down near 'Taj Palace' (Today I was in mood for Indian food ). Unfortunately I ran out of balance and call got disconnected.

The Video Call  and the Restura:

By this time I was inside the restaurant.I texted her that I am out of balance and we decided to resume conversation later.I than proceeded to eat appetizers.I just had couple of  'Palak Pakoda' and 'Tomato Soup'. Suddenly , one of my friend called and  told me she misses me and hung up after a min.My mom keeps on asking me what I eat everyday, So I thought I can have a video call and show her that I eat awesome food daily. I called my parents via talk app while eating pulav and paneer saag.Talked to them for about half an hour while travelling back to office and even for few mins once I reached my cubicle.When I did disconnect call it was nearly 2:00, So I had one hour to pass before I absolutely had to begin working .

The Office :

While browsing news on rediff, I saw some rather heated discussion on Oprah's comments on India and one thing lead to another and I ended up watching very long videos on youtube.

Article on one of the sites :
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/24/oprah-winfrey-india-special-own-criticism_n_1699581.html

Youtube Video :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R223YSZibaA

In all fairness video was pretty bland and straight forward, nothing instigating.

So finally it was 3:45pm and I decided to start working at least now. I tried for couple of mins but then realized I have not read all articles I had opened up. So kept on reading till 4:15 which seemed very inauspicious time to start working . So read Dilbert strips for 15 mins.Finally started working at 4:30 but just after few minutes one of friend from  California called me after long time and we started talking.Again, I thought I was being too loud and decided to step outside. Once outside, I thought 'what the hell ? I can go home' and caught bus for third time in the day while still on call. Only after I came home did I realize that I should have kept my office laptop in the mobile unit or at least locked it. ehh...

Interestingly enough , my galaxy S3 impressed me in video calls via talk app but for some reason works horribly when there is background noise. A cell phone that has every possible thing except good voice calls how very ironic.

The Home :

Came to my hotel room, prepared atta noodles maggi, made some tea, watched tele and started blogging, while watching TBBT on CBS. .I am tiered now..typing so much..so Adios !!

Ma Day

The Home

Today I got up to a rather slow morning, ( I did everything slow, so it was a slow morning :P) I decided to take more time getting ready and give my morning 9.00 o'clock bus a miss. I had 20 minutes before my meeting and so I tried watching TV, could not find anything that could hook me for 20 minutes so decided to listen music on my cell phone. It felt bit odd listening to songs on phone while at home doing nothing, So after a while I decided to go out and take a walk. Finally ended up boarding bus while on the run and attending status meet on cell phone. I reached office at around 10:00 and waited for my colleague in India to call me back .

The Office

After 2 hours I realized, there would not be any call. So I passed  time chatting on Gtalk , reading blogs, articles on Forbes. I completed whatever work I could and decided to leave at 5:00 pm. I was in my usual  melancholic and bummed out state when it suddenly hit me, I should be happy that I went to office at 10 and came back at 5:00 after working for about 2 hours.

The Home

Anyway so when I came to my hotel room I thought I should may be do something else instead of  watching TV as usual.So I opened my laptop and started looking for places I can go to. I found a good bakery but it was a mile away and there was no bus for another hour.But I was not ready to give up, So I decided to at least go to front desk roam around for few mins,walk a little and then come back.I went to front desk told him two lamps in my room were not working , took some change for laundry and headed out for a walk. While walking I decided to finally go to tat bakery.

The Bakery

Assisted by Google maps on S3 :d I reached bakery. It was a nice little place but kind of place where you walk in knowing what you would eat. But I was not sure so I took my time browsing  through menu and the attendee hat to ask me couple of time 'are you ready sir?' , making me feel kinda stupid .I decided to go  with Cinnamon bun and a cold lemonade. When asked whether 'to go' or here I said 'here'. Then I saw 'Veggie Burger' and I thought what the hell not many places serve good veggie burger I might as well try it for dinner . So I told her ,I will also have a 'Veggie Burger to go' .What I meant was 'Lemonade and Cinnamon Bun '  for  'here' and 'Burger' as 'to go'. What she heard was just 'To Go' so she made me a cinnamon bun and lemonade 'to go' . I walked outside with Cinnamon Bun and Lemonade and thinking WTH  am I doing outside @ 100 f degree  walking with cinnamon bun and lemonade. Of course I could not go inside now, it would be too embarrassing.There was no way I could walk a mile holding those things. So I walked little found a nice little pavement and sat there and started eating like a Bum :). I decided to sit on my handkerchief which was of course a big mistake because if you have ever eaten a cinnamon bun you would know how sticky it is.You want to have kerchief nearby .I did manage to complete it in spite of few prying eyes.

The Road ,The Bus and The Road

Now the heat had increased even more and was getting to me, So I decided to go other way and wait for buy instead of walking back. I waited for 10 minutes ( I could probably have walked back to room in 15 mins ), finally got on bus and on next signal I realize there is a super market there and I could use milk and bread. So just before the bus is about to start I rush out through the door . I get my milk and bread and head out just after walking 20 yards or so. The head really hits me, I feel dehydrated, I think I won't be walk to my room ,knowing I am badly out of shape so much that walking 500 meters in sun reminds me of my great great grandmother whom I never knew. At one point I seriously think I am going to either faint on the road and end up in hospital or throw my milk at bystander and just go plain crazy.Finally I do make it to my hotel room.

The Room

So from bright sunny, monstrous summer I walk into my cold ,dark (remember broken lamps), untidy yet comforting room. I take a shower, turn on TV and start writing a blog post.


PS .I tried to review and correct it, but it was so incredibly big and boring that I had to leave it half way.If you have managed to read it even half way, congratulate yourself for you have increased patience to crap today. Peace Out

Raat ko barah baje

Its 2:00 am and I have had couple of pegs of Red Label, well perhaps more than couple and one freshly made peg is right besides me.

I am sitting under stars, but I cannot see them :(. May be it will rain tomorrow. But I can see the moon .I am sitting on bench near my room with a glass of red label in my hand typing my blog on my laptop.

It is kind of scary crows are making weird sound they make, there is a far of sound of a cricket and I get a feeling that  someone will creep up behind me and bash my head.

This is something I would not have ever imagined , me blogging at 2:00 in the night outside my room on  a bench partially inebriated .

I want to call someone, but I don't know whom, everyone would be busy .

Gentle breeze blew by, I don't know whats missing in this equation, perhaps a company perhaps nothing.

I used to walk to my office ,which is about a mile away from my hotel.  But then it was getting very hot (>100f) so I started searching for alternate mode of transport,Sure enough I found a bus which leaves me very near to my office. But I had to walk for about 8 minutes to reach the bus stop, after first day I realized bus stop is exactly behind my hotel but due to the fences around my hotel I have to walk around it. So at night I took a stroll to find a chink in the Armour(fence) .I did, one of the vertical steel bar was broken and left just enough space me to squeeze in. So now every morning I get up ,get ready and try and squeeze through small space in fence much to amusement of people jogging there...
~~
So I usually catch 9o'clock bus and reach office by 9.15. However one day I was reading a book by P.G.Wodehouse and I got little engrossed in it,Missed my stop and realized it only at 9:30. I had to eventually walk more than I would have from my hotel to office.grrr..May be I suffer from ADD 


!!


When I had the project, my immediate lead was fired and now today,I completed nearly a month in the project and our manager and only point of contact between business and technology quit the company. Can't take credit for everything but well I do some weird aura around me.


!!


My office accesses are disabled today, So although I have work I cannot do anything today (yipeee).Hence the blogging. Today, I got to know my manager quitting, my extension in project has some issues and I missed a call from my account manager which leads me to believe more travel might be there in my future .Sigh .


!!


Now I have been living alone for more than 2 months.Now I am in city where I don't have single friend or good mode of commutation.Makes me wanna buy car, but I don't want the additional overhead and having to go through headache of getting a license here...lets see..


!!


I saw videos for Google glasses and it nearly gave me goose bumps. I do every now and then get excited about technology.It makes me say 'Future is here'


!!


Its funny, although I have been here for more than a year now, I have never really interacted much with people who were born and brought up in US(typically ,whites ). Only now did I get to introduced to couple of them and although I won't be interacting with them on daily basis this is a small work place and there fore I happen to see them occasionally. The weird part is one of them greeted me 'Good Morning Jigar' and for love of God, I could not remember who he was. Its almost as if all Caucasians and whites look alike to me. He could have been anyone. I know all of them don't look alike, but I sure had hard time differentiating him from 3 guys I was introduced to.


!!


I cannot remember any single occasion in last three years when I would have worn formal clothes on Friday.Reason being, my company allowed me casuals on Friday and so did my client. However this friday I was wearing a perfectly ironed blue stripped shirt with a formal trouser. Reason...?. It isn't that my current client doesn't allow me casuals on Friday.It is that my current client allows me casuals on all days. It weird, that now that I have freedom to wear casual through out the week, I did not feel bad about wearing formals on Fridays.


Sometimes, you like something (want it more) only because it is limited to you in the first place.


Anyway, Reason I wore formals 4 out of 5 days on weekday was because all my casual clothes required washing :P

Chapter 1:

Tretains conversation.

A man of average built wearing a red tie, white shirt and black trousers walked in looking exasperated .He looked at tall slim man with a smallish round face  sitting on chair in a pensive mood

'Mind explaining why I had to rush in from my dinner party’

'Wearing that?' inquired Chirag

'All right, It was office party, I hated it and thanks for pulling me out of it ' Said Viral  'So tell me ,why am I here '

'A Soup, Big One’

'Shoot ‘.

Chirag poured in 18 years Macallan Single Malt whiskey, which made Viral raise his eyebrow for Chirag knew his preference for blended scotch very well .He suspected this must be something good.

'I Killed a Man’

'Wow ,that is big even for us ' trying to suppress a smile ,for chirag had been almost 27 and there were no major accomplishment listed against him in the family journal .Also once this was wrapped both would be officially included in the family circle .

'Tell me everything, where, whom, how and most importantly why ‘after a moment he added  ' on second thought skip who tell me rest’

'Tried to extort money from my dad and threatened my wife, Citing his brothers loss in investment was dad's fault, I had to move in quickly before dad told anyone’

'ohh come on that might be just brotherly love'

'There are other cases of extortion against him’

'Fair Enough’

'I was driving through a bar Flying saucer and saw him just getting out of it .I  told him I have got his money and he is now lying in our bathtub '

'You've got a dead body here’

'Guess so’

'How did you kill him?’

'I thought of couple of ways, including electrocuting him in the bath tub or using excess chloroform but finally decided to go with cyanide'

'Where did you get cyanide from?’

'Kay's friend came back from his service on border he was able to save 15 for me’

'I want five of those’

'Come on five is too high, you don't need more than 3’

'Well contingency, if this succeeds I can also use it’

'You are getting three; I know how fast you can judge people’

'Look who’s talking ,anyway let’s get down to details .How do we dispose of body ,what is your alibi for today ,could anyone inside the building or near flying saucer saw you with him '

'As for body ,I am confused ,I would like to chop it in pieces keep body parts in different bags and then either hire a motor boat or take a cruise and dump the body in international waters '

'naa..Cutting bones could be tough, besides I don't want to deal with all the blood .Also hiring motor boat can lead to suspicion and cruise is just too many witnesses

/*

'But you can understand my predicament ,I don't body to be discovered for at least a month that everyone forgets about recent event .Though I think unless spotted by someone police would have enough of on me '

'How about putting it on road and making it look like hit and run victim’

'I thought about it but there are risks also, what if it remains unidentified and police decide to go with autopsy or a Samaritan notices before running him over and calls police’

'How about properly cremating the body’

'Won't the cremator require death certificate .It is interesting and we can fake it but lets think abotu more safer options’

'Yeah, next time onwards let’s just plan for it and not act impulsively'

'Save it, there may not be next time’

'ohh shut up ,but if that does happen then I would take rest of 14 cyanide pills' .

There was silence for 60 seconds when both did some thinking exhausting bad options in their mind.

*/

'I think best bet might be to involve Sinoj, He does have a farm house which has a lake with crocodile, even if were to bury the body .It would still remain a missing person's case’

'That might not be bad idea, though I wished we could have wrapped this within ourselves’

‘What are you trying to say, we are not humans’ 

‘Well it is not like I am saying you are wolf or vampire or something. But we may have a dominant gene not found amongst other humans‘

‘Cool, so we are mutants ‘

‘Kind of ‘

‘So what are our super powers ‘

‘We don’t have any ‘

‘Wait ,I have two legs, two hands, two eyes ,two ears ,one nose average to above average intelligence no super power but I am not human ‘

‘Well, It depends on definition of humans, with just 2% genetic variation you can end up with being apes who are like so different .We are, you can say more than 99% humans but there are some characteristic in us not found in most of the humans ‘

‘Like? ‘

‘For one, we have never had a natural death or as far as I remember even death because of sickness ‘

‘We are immortals? ‘

‘Look around, how old is the oldest guy you know from family? ‘

’57 ‘

‘Correct ,So we definitely are not immortals we have innate tendency to be Nihilistic and Suicidal 

,Of course we are also heavy risk takers so many people die of accidents or commit suicide to not to face harsher alternatives like going to prison  ‘

‘Going to Prison is harder than death ‘

‘Not normally, but yes as far as our family is considered, we don’t prefer going to prison ‘

‘That’s some super power ‘

‘Well that’s not all ,most people form our family have above average IQ ,variation in human emotions like no anger ,extreme need for revenge ,pro risk ,there are other things you will learn with time ‘

‘You can’t kill everyone there just because you do not like it; there are many innocent people ‘Said Kapil

‘Look I am 40, I am powerful, I am rich, I can do it and we both know in longer term I would be making everyone’s life far more pleasant .Also you do not have to feel guilty in supporting me ,this is my decision completely. ‘

‘Tell me, how do you plan to kill 200 thousand people in a politically sensitive area ‘

‘Well it’s a three step process. I will explain first one in detail 

I saw a very detailed project about 2 years ago by a very young geologist on flow of water, winds, formation of snow in that particular area .He had successfully captured every single detail imaginable. Using that we polluted water, well polluted is crude word, we enriched it with certain minerals most of them naturally found and added a specially manufactured compound so that water as well as snow thus formed becomes conducive to electricity passed at 100 volts. Sometime after that is executed, we will turn on generators which we have already installed in strategic places, houses to be particular, so that they should electrify 85% of land in the area and since everything would be timed perfectly it would happen at same instant.’ Gauging his son’s reaction he continued ‘It would stay for at least 2.5 hours before the electricity cannot be generating manually using those generators’.  He looked towards ceiling ‘Next two steps deal with  getting everyone out of their home an electrifying the water itself ,good thing is although snow can be  electrified for only 2.5 hours ,I have elaborate machines for keeping water electrified for entire day ‘ 

‘So what is your verdict? , My Son’ 

‘Well it is bit flimsy and it has its own gap but you know it something that would grand even if it failed .It is unique kind of plan. Also people will never be able to figure out completely so good scope for second try and continuity .How about traceability? ‘

‘I used many level of dummies or all work , very handful people know about it and I suspect they are ready to give up their life after the project ‘

‘Ahh..You started converting people ‘said Kapil with a smirk on his face.
