Ger'Mania': Gabel und Messer
http://ger-mania.blogspot.com/2005/09/gabel-und-messer.html
September 05, 2005. I had known all along that my German was not bad. But today (Sunday- Sept. 4), while working at my coffee shop, I found that it was not just 'not bad', but also good enough to compose a poem (hehehe.). I was having a pizza, and was fiddling around with a knife and fork. It was then that this brainwave hit me. Warum brauche ich Gabel und Messer,. Wann mit Hand geht es besser.". Translation: "Why do I need a knife and fork, when with my hand it would do better.". View my complete profile.

Ger'Mania': UPDATE: Re-location etc.
http://ger-mania.blogspot.com/2009/04/update-re-location-etc.html
April 02, 2009. OK To those who wished me on my re-location and my "contesting" the elections, a big Thank You. But no, thanks! Well, no, I did not for a moment expect that any one at all would be taken in by my prank. And so was I stupefied, to find that quite a few people had indeed fallen for it. When I say quite a few, I mean about 30-35 people! And that is nearly 25% of those to whom I "announced" my decision to re-locate and contest the elections! Yes, I see myself as some one who can flirt around ...

Ger'Mania': October 2008
http://ger-mania.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
October 29, 2008. Homoeo'podi' (TBE # 1). Well, I would not exactly include this incident under the topic "The Bhuvan Effect / TBE"), as it is not exactly an event where something that could not go wrong went wrong nonetheless. I have included it in the topic, as it was one of those events which reflect my "adventures". Over the past 7 years in Germany. I was in a quandary, and had a good deal of explanation to do. "Where are your medicines? Yes, where are my medicines? And what are these powders? I gues...

Ger'Mania': Interregnum
http://ger-mania.blogspot.com/2005/11/interregnum.html
November 15, 2005. In·ter·reg·num. In·ter·reg·nums. Or in·ter·reg·na. The interval of time between the end of a sovereign's reign and the accession of a successor. A period of temporary suspension of the usual functions of government or control. A gap in continuity. Or have I simply run out of steam? So does that mean I write a rigmarole everytime my fingers kiss the keyboard? Write only of cerebral or esoteric stuff? There are some 'events' that I wanted to write about very badly, but simply could not d...

Ger'Mania': The Bhuvan Effect
http://ger-mania.blogspot.com/2008/10/bhuvan-effect.html
October 21, 2008. Most probably you would already have heard of Murphy's law. In short it says: " Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Like the buttered side of a bread always falling face down when you drop it. Well, my experiences here in Germany (so-called Ger'Mania'. More clearly, if there are 'n' number of possible outcomes to an event, and none of them can go wrong, then there will surely be an 'n 1'th. Outcome that never existed before, which will simply turn out just when the event occurs.

Ger'Mania': 'U' and 'I'
http://ger-mania.blogspot.com/2005/10/u-and-i_19.html
October 19, 2005. Aeons came and aeons went past,. But I always felt something missing,. So cruel that time slips by fast,. Too hazy for me to realize a thing. Was it love or just something cheap,. I can but only stare and wonder,. Tween me and ye lay a chasm so deep,. Me stranded here and you over yonder. Was it trust or belief shatter'd,. That caused us to part our ways? But what use it is, all that matter'd. Was the truth, we haven't met for days. I do know dear what's missing,.

Ger'Mania': March 2009
http://ger-mania.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
March 31, 2009. Re-locating and Contesting Elections. Well, finally am there. After a maniacal 8-year period in Germany, I have decided to re-locate to India. And the timing is not, by the way, coincidental. I would be contesting as an independent candidate in the on-coming parliamentary elections (Lok Sabha) 2009 as an Independent Candidate from Chennai Central. I am planning to request as my election symbol Mr.A-S-S (no vulgarity intended, I am meaning the animal Donkey itself). Links to this post.

Ger'Mania': Back from hibernation
http://ger-mania.blogspot.com/2008/08/back-from-hibernation.html
August 29, 2008. What caused this inertia? And what was the proverbial kick on the B? The fact I was looking for a job that time back in 2006, and the consequential dis-attention I gave to writing, was one. And the raison d'etre. Behind my attempt to revitalize the blog? Was feeling really dissed and de-motivated about me, my life and pretty much lots of things around me. There has to be a start somewhere, somehow, and here it is. (Thank you Al Bundy) Let's rock! Yup you indeed should! 169; 2005-09 Bhuva...
