The sexiest shop window ever … !!!

Hello ...
While riding to a friends place last week ...
I saw a shop window... which made me do a double take ...
It was a poster of a two piece clad girl with a suggestive gaze ...
And boy was she hot... and those eyes... like the kind ...
That'd make you almost paranoid to be the object of her gaze ...
She was so hot that she could be labeled as a hazard... hehe ...
Okay... so you get the basic idea how hot she was... right ???
I never did find out the name or what they sell in that shop ...
But I think we can all guess what kinda establishment that is ...
But that not important... what is important here is ...
That the shop guys had wanted people look up and take notice ...
And I think they have done a pretty good job at that ... hehe ...
I for one... am gonna check out the window every time I pass by...
And that girl has already made me pass by her a few times ...
Hehehe ...

I definitely did not order this …

Hello ...
I went to one of the stalls in the carnival today ...
It was early morning and I ordered a nescafé milk coffee ...
And what you see in the picture above is what they brought me ...
It was cup of milk (apparently not ordinary... but powdered) ...
With a spoon of nescafé coffee dumped on top of it ...
I called the waiter ... and had a chat with him ...
Below is how our little conversation went ...

Me: I ordered a nescafe milk ... what is this ... ???
Waiter: This IS a nescafe milk ... this is how we make it here ...
Me: No this a cup of milk... i can still see the coffee on top ...
Waiter: Give in some time... the coffee will eventually sink ...
Me: Can you bring me a regular cup of coffee well stirred ???
Waiter: No ... this is the only type of coffee we make here ...
Me: What if i ordered a black coffee ... what'll you bring me ???
Waiter: A cup of hot water with a spoon of coffee on top ...

There are lotsa types of coffees going around these days ...
Some distinctively creative in methods of preparation ...
Others not so ... giving the same coffee cooler names everyday ...
So beware what kinda coffee you order when in a café ...
You may be surprised with what you are served ... hehe ...

Girls … what will you not put in it … ???

Hello ...
I went to have a coffee with a girl few days back ...
I haven't seen her for a long time and we needed to catch up ...
We went to a coffee shop a short walk away from her place ...
While we enjoyed our blacks, I couldn't help but notice ...
The extra ordinarily large handbag that she was carrying ...
I thought she was going some where after our meet ...
Being me... curiosity got the better of me and I had to ask ...
"No ... I'm going right back home to catch a TV show ...
I just like to have all the stuff I might need in the bag ..."
I dropped her home ... but the bag wouldn't leave my mind ...
Compared to us guys ... girls carry around a lot of stuff ...
Guys would normally carry may be 3-4 items while they are out ...
Wallet... phone... keys... shades... and cigs if they've to ...
Girls on the other hand carry a mind-numbing number of stuff ...
And though we guys are intrigued about what's inside ...
Girls guard the content of their bags with their lives ...
You've got to earn her trust before you can take a peek inside ...
I list here stuff that I've seen girls carry around with them ...

- Purse (some times more than one) ...
- Phone ...
- Tissue (an open packet and an extra packet) ...
- Mirror ...
- Cigarettes ...
- Lighters (sometimes ... one working one not) ...
- Bottled water ...
- Notebook ...
- Pens/Pencils (usually more than one) ...
- Hair brush ...
- Make-up kit ...
- Digital Camera (mostly compact point and shoot) ...
- CDs (mostly with an unhinged jewel case) ...
- DVDs ...
- Medicine ...
- Oil control paper (its blue in color ... dunno the name) ...
- Bills (phone bills mostly) ...
- Cheque book ...
- Reading glasses ...
- Sun glasses ...
- Ticket stubs ...
- USB pen drive ...
- USB hard drive ...
- USB cable ...
- MP3 player ...
- Batteries ...
- Chewing gum ... bubble gum or mints ...
- Supari ... or killi ...
- Women's stuff ... (you know... stuff) ...
- Keys (most are remnants of the locks they used to open) ...
- Sewing kit (the mini packs) ...
- Umbrella ...
- Books ...

So I ask myself ... why do girls carry all these with them ... ???
May be because ... it in their nature as care givers ... ???
They would never hesitate to dig in to their bags and share ...
Or may be they have this deep rooted desire ...
To be close and in possession of what they might need ... ???
I dunno know really ... your guess is as good as mine ...

Thank you Facebook … for dropping the IS …

Hello ...
Am still grappling with a cold ... damn the flu ...
So am spending as much time indoors as possible ...
Just wanted to point out this facebook thingy I noticed ...
Remember how you had to word your status carefully ...
Cos you had to start something like "Subcorpus is ... "
Well ... the IS has now been dropped ... thanks facebook ...
Its a bit more flexible now ... with more room for creativity ...
Rather than saying "subcorpus is enjoying bond movies" ...
I can write "subcorpus enjoys watching bond movies" ...
Am sure the smarter lot among us is gonna mess with this...

how will Maldivians be remembered centuries later ???

Hello ...
Am watching Naked Science on National Geographic Channel ...
Its a good show ... putting forth interesting questions ...
And trying to find answers using modern technology ...
Last night I was watching the episode called Roman Tech ...
In which they showed how the Romans had lived ...
I was amazed at the similarity of their lifestyle to ours ...
They brought down water from the mountains to their cities ...
They had heat ... running water and sewerage systems in homes ...
Hell ... they even had double panned glass windows ...
And much like us ... lived in multi-storey apartment buildings ...
They paved roads with cobblestone to link their cities ...
These may seem all very ordinray for us now ...
Except that the Romans had these a few thousand years ago ...
There's no question that Romans were an advanced civilization ...
Though nobody knows how the Romans discovered everything ...
Everybody knows how they had put together their knowledge ...
To conquer and rule half the world for many hundreds of years ...
There are several unanswered questions about the Romans ...
The biggest and the most debated question being what lead ...
To the downfall of a vast and powerful empire like the Roman's ???
When the episode ended ... I had a few questions of my own ...
I thought... if such a powerful empire like the Roman's ...
Can suddenly loose their glory to get buried in sand and time ...
What will happen to our civilization a few centuries down ???
If our ways of life or life itself be threatened ...
And we inevitably loose at the hand of a more powerful enemy ...
Or if nature decided Maldives be an underwater attraction ...
How will we be remembered ... what will we leave behind ???
What will a future civilization learn about us ???
Would they know our foods/shelter/lifestyles/recreations ???
About our attempts at survival and deliberate failures ???
Will we leave behind skeletons of the wars fought ???
Or will leave them remnants of a diseases that killed us all ???
We Maldivians... how will we be perceived centuries/eons later ???
Thinking about it sure gives me the creeps ... hehe ...
