Racial stereotypes zindabad...

I have come to the conclusion that Chinese drivers are the worst on this planet. Two days running I have seen incidents here in downtown Toronto involving Chinese car drivers who have nearly hit pedestrians crossing the road. Can they not see through their elongated eye slits ? If it's not Chinese exported SARS or Avian bird flu that will kill you, their drivers certainly will.

ps. I have no time for any politically correct crap. Live with it amigos.

Ever feel like you're being overworked ?

On Music

Is losing interest in music the first sign of ageing ? Even worse then showing the odd grey hair ?

Nothing appeals to my aural senses anymore....my CD collection - a ragbag eclectic mixture of Euro, bhangra, and filmi has lost its shine. Browsing in music shops - gora or desi - nowadays appears to be an empty gesture. The music is all the same in one way or another - mass produced tuneless cat-wailing....even so called 'radical' artists are legally owned by a group of suits somewhere.

I think I shall take up whistling instead....

On the Yellow Peril

This morning I expect some poor souls had car problems, traffic problems, maybe even money problems - but I had to have a banana problem....

Have you ever tried to peel a banana that was so green, so unripe, that when you stripped away the outer peel there was a still an inner peel stubbornly clinging on for dear life ? And to compound matters, as you attempt to perform what looks like open heart surgery on the intransigent banana in the office, an office colleague walks by and mockingly asks "Do you need a hand ?".

Let's see what the rest of day has in store for me...
