Weird updates!

I'm gonna start a series called, 'weird updates!' - It is basically small random happenings in my life that i feel are blog worthy, in other words it is a cheap attempt at filling up my blog! :-P

Election time in India! It is a special time, A time of giving and taking, if u know wat i mean ;-) A time when most people become political conscious, even those that don't really give a dam about politics. I am happy to say that a relatively higher voter turnout is expected with quite a few new voters.

I voted too, my first vote to the national parliamentary elections! :) and yes the ugly finger is mine :(

Now i can understand people getting touchy about politics but animals too???
My pooch Mudsey (black) tore a party's promotional pamphlet to bits (they usually distribute these pamphlets at every door step during elections)! No joke! And two days later when another party's pamphlet was thrown at my door step he didn't even touch it. My dog is strange... even he has become political!

I had a hard time deciding which pic i was gonna use so i'm putting up both!
The brown and white fox terrier is Sonu and the other is our very own political pooch Mudsey! :D

Here is a non political update –
A clandestine war has begun between me and the departmental store clerk! My dad gave me a meal card – its basically a debit card but meant only for food and groceries and stuff, like the sodexho food coupons but in a card form. Anyways the shop has this rule which forbids the use of this card for items below INR100. I didn't really care about this rule; I used the card mainly when heavy shopping was involved for household items. Recently, like a few months back, the govt introduced this rule which forbids the use of this card for a value higher than INR100 a day (their argument was its a meal card and not meant for casual shopping so they fixed the amount for two meals of INR50 each). What does that mean for a shopper with this card at that departmental store? Well in order to use this card I got to buy goods for an amount exactly that of INR100 because the shop people are too stupid to revoke their dumbass rule! HOW THE HELL CAN I KEEP BUYING GOODS WORTH EXACTLY INR100 all the time when I want to use this card? The clerk is a real idiot too, here is a sample conversation between me and that clerk (let's call him a moron cause I don't know the moron's name)

Me: please charge it on my card.
Moron: (gives me an dull gaze which quickly turns into a frown) can accept the card only for items above 100rs.
ME: u can't use the card for an amount above 100, it is a new govt rule.
Moron: our rules are there... (i can tell from his dull appearance that there is absolutely no brain activity whatsoever)
ME: do one thing try billing the card for an amount higher than 100 bucks, do one thing charge my card with 120bucks.
Moron: (swipes the card in the machine and keys in the account number) it say invalid amount.
ME: Ya I told u, it will not accept an amount higher than 100 so please accept the card.
Moron: our rules are there....
ME: how do u expect me to use this card? If the govt says something and you say something else wat am i to do?
Moron: yes i know, but our shop's rule is there...
ME: I can speak to ur manager and explain things out if u want?
Moron: ok ok... (Takes my card and swipes it)
Me: look i can tell ur manager and sort it out i have no issues.
Moron: ok ok
ME: (i sign the bill and walk off victorious!)

This exchange of words will happen again when i want to use the card... and i never get to see the manager so that i can get the shops rule changed... Sigh...
But I refuse to back down! I will not give up! I will use the card! My will, is unwavering, no amount of wind can move the mountain. Let it howl the loudest, let wave after wave of morons scream, the solid edifice of justice that stands erect in our hearts cannot be broken. Blood shall be spilt and people will get hurt... it is war after all and war is grotesque, but make no mistake, MAKE NO MISTAKE AT ALL; I am fully committed to the cause and not afraid of any repercussions. In this time of injustice and mostly stupidity, i will rise to counter any opposition from the likes of my enemy, Moron.
HOOOOOOOOOOORAAAAA!
DEATH!... or at least extreme annoyance... TO THE ENEMY!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!


Until the next update, cya blogger! :P
