Tub Full of Hot Water and a Bacardi bottle in your hands --Nothing beats it

Jus got out of the shower and i can say with confidence that it was the best bath i ever had. I had wanted to do this for quite some time and today i got the opportunity and the time and of course the enthusiasm and patience to wait for 15 minutes in my towel for the tub to get filled.

I was trying all the time to float in that hot water but as expected never succeeded. At one point i also felt the desire to have some toys in there and play with them like an aqua-man(yeah m still a boy).

Halfway through it i felt kinda thirsty and that was the best part because as i was getting into the towel it struck me that why not bacardi instead of plain old H2O. And i am glad i got that bottle as it was the best experience ever.

The bath left me so relaxed after so many days of stress(stress part isnt over,have 2 submissions ahead).

Everybody who has a tub in their bathroom should definitely try it out. I am sure it would be
one hell of an experience.

C ya soon,m going off for a long good night sleep.

U Can Change Habits but not ATTITUDE

hello guys

I write this entry not to mock anybody but somewhat amuse my ownself .

As a honorable Science Graduate i always looked up to the attitude of never believing anything without a reason or without seeing the un-explainable with my own eyes.And so superstitions or "shubh/ashubh" never mattered to me much,though i am a firm believer in destiny and luck paying some kind of role in our life.

Ok now to the incident that inspired me to write this entry --Day before yesterday we were making chicken for dinner when one of us decided to make paneer for our vegetarain roomates because he always ends up with bad food when we prepare chicken for ourselves ."Cottage cheese mein woh baat nahin hai " came a comment from one of us so the most ardant cook from us decide to make paneer by over-boiling milk .And so the process began ,as expected it was taking a long time to do so which deviated our attentions from paneer to chicken (evrybody likes better thngs :D).The consequence milk got over-over-boiled and spill out of the vessel and then came the disaster.

Both my roomates were in awe and destitute as if sky had fallen on dem ,and so after a minute i also got into awe that why are these two behaving so .We spill thngs in the kitchen all the time ,its probably the dirtiest place in our house .It still didnt struck me until one of the guys said some words and his words were "aaj din hi manhus hai (today is a bad day ) ",i thought what the heck ?? and then he said "doodh girna bahut ashubh hota hai(spilling milk is inauspicious)" and i sank back into my awe feeling this time ironically of course .And then to add injury to insult the other guy goes " abbey shubh hota hai " .

I mean we have travelled 7000 miles from our homes to study Masters Of Science in respective fields and then we talk and believe such omens .really ??

I think the subject line is apt to quote here ..right guys ?
