21st ct. Avatar

I am writing notes on an auto parts company after having spoken to an Asian with a bad accent while trying to calm down Best Bud who calls to tell me that the girl he likes is getting back together with her ex (and even goes on to ask me, aur kya kar raha hai) while another guy in the NY office is calling me to correct me on someone else’s mistake (in a good way like oh, she should have seen that) while I have a call with the head of my desk in 30 minutes

Right, every generation has its defining characteristic – 60’s were free love, 70’s were disco and looking slick, 80’s was the me generation, 90’s GenX….now, it’s the age of multitasking and all the gods in the Hindu pantheon will be armed with iPods, Blackberries, Palms, laptops, cell phones (with Bluetooth) and a migraine

that is an apt metaphor, my friend. 21st century gods with cellphones and blackberry. the durga puja pandals in calcutta will get their hands on it soon. you might want to bring out a patent.

also, whenever you're not busy being a banker, it might be good to hang out. it's nice to know other people from nooyawk-nai dilli (who're not grad students!)

But yeah, would love to meet up in NY/ND though am currently in London! Yeah, lets just say my life is in flux right now...but yes, I'm sure when I find my legs again...
