Double Standards...!!!!

My weekend started with a visit to the Bangalore Canine Club's annual dog show [BCC] - i guess i can use BCC now, since namma erstwhile BCC aka Bangalore City Corporation has reincarnated itself as Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike -"BMP". So going forward BCC is Bengaluru Naayigala Sangha.

BCC learned lessons from last year's show and to make amends [my guess] moved the venue to Palace grounds which by contrast has lots of space. Period and nothing else. Dogs as expected were hogging all the limelight. And all around there were only pugs pugs pugs pugs..... baring a couple of Siberian Huskies, Doberman's, St.Bernard's, GSD's there was nothing else. What happened to all other breeds? where did they vanish?

The rest of the facilities was as usual in shambles proud owners and their prized dogs resorted to all kinds of tricks to keep themselves cool enough to handle competition heat.
Though BCC did charge an entry fee for the event did not bother to provide basic amenity - toilets for the visitors - i guess such a big open space in the middle of Bengaluru has to be put to the right use; "learn from the dogs - sniff around and relieve yourself on the nearest pole/tree/plant" was the motto.

Now coming to the actual topic, last year during the same event i did the mistake [unknowingly, I Swear] of taking my family along with my month old lab puppy to the show. Everything was pretty fine till my pup started getting some attention from other visitors at the show. And in no time a lady and a turbaned man flaunting the organizers badges barked at us to GET OUT. When i asked them why having paid hard earned money as entrance fee for my entire family all i got in return was the choicest of 4/5/6....lettered words. I was just too embarrassed to reply back to this "gentleman" in his own words in front of my mom and family and simply got out. On the way out i realized why...they had assumed that i had gone there to sell my pup. Though i did have ideas of going back to the venue after dropping my folks back home and give that turban a piece of his barking i laid the idea to rest.

This year around not only were pups being sold outside, but inside it was a roaring business!! and the turban was COMPLETELY blind!!! What do you call that? Double standards????
any how more about this show later..

blog - blah blah blah!!!

Finally, i have succumbed to the social pressure and decided to blog - just did not want to be a outcast. and it is not that i am technically challenged or i am averse to people peeking into my life - plain simple i didn't want people to know my shortcomings and weaknesses. For now, i have decided to add my 2 cents to this world wide evil called blog!!! ha ha ha
Going forward people reading this will realize that there is nothing new in this blog to write home about and people all around the world are already doing it for eons.

I will try to keep my blog as cryptic, incoherent, unimaginative and non-informative as possible. if there is dry humor in my blogs please live with it - there is water scarcity down here...

Well how i got here was pure chance - i decided to go check my Orkut account which in turn was created out of pure peer pressure. For once, i did not have anything important that couldn't be pushed to the back burner. My mouse went berserk clicking here and there [there is something very seductive about web links which always gets me entrapped] and finally ended up reading a blog from someone calling him/her self "eagle". One thing got to another and i was sucked into starting my own blog. Good enough for a story[reason ;-)] Now that i have got this going let me see how this progresses..

I guarantee that you will not find anything interesting other then my cribbing about everything around us in this world.
