The New Age Junta
Back after a year and half! I knew nobody would be waiting, so took my own sweet and succulent time. Yes. I have been busy, have had no time to write and all that jazz that people generally say.
Anyway, I came back so that I could write about this wonderful piece of news that I heard. There is this group of youngsters called The New Age Junta that is creating waves around the country. Born in Pune, Maharashtra, this was a group of 4 boys and 1 girl that until recently was limited to Puneri people wonly. Since October 2006, they have been calling for people from all over the nation. And Bangalore has lent the biggest participation. Their goal is to go around encouraging people to not surrender to a run of the mill software job and instead concentrate on pure sciences and most interestingly, what they call "Mad Sciences". The former is boring. Let's talk about the latter.
Mad sciences they claim involves everything from Dr. Mephisto's (of South Park fame) deeds to sorcery to black magic to mantra and tantra. This is, to say the least, very exciting. One of the members, Rohit Kumar from Bangalore chose to play the mad scientist role. He setup a small laboratory in the garage of his house and started experimenting. He calls it the Garage of misgivings. And in true Mephisto style, he started off by conducting various experiments on a pack of Guinea pigs that he ordered for from the United States. His experiments involved feeding the rodents with weird potions and solutions that he used to prepare and wait patiently for results. He set about doing this sometime in November, 2006 and late last year he saw something very weird. He began to notice that the female rodent had started laying eggs (yes, eggs!). It was very apparent that the rodents had mated and made sweet love. But eggs?
And in about 20 days, the eggs started to hatch and hold on to your breath, he noticed little rodents emerging out of the eggs. Rodents from eggs? Now that's a first. He could not contain his curiosity and waited impatiently to see them grow. They were now his kids. With each passing day, he saw that dad and mom were very keen on taking care of the babies and saw them grow from a few centimeters to the size of an American football. He then had to go out of Bangalore for some work and came back a week later. When he came back, the sight that met his eyes almost killed him. The rodents had mutated to eagles. Huge menacing eagles. And last week one of the eagles flew at him, pecked at him all over his body and killed him.
Everybody there started singing..
neenE saakida guinea, ninnaaa muddina guinea
haddaagi kukkitallO, ninna haddaagi kukkitallO..
And again,
neenE saakida guinea, ninnaaa muddina guinea
haddaagi kukkitallO, ninna haddaagi kukkitallO..
:) Ok, that brings an end to another boring sunday.
Good night fellas.

Yikes - this post brought visions of Srinath in a muddy shirt passing through the coal mines somewhere around Bellary. What movies have I been watching in my childhood?! No wonder I am so tormented all the time
