Internet cafes

This was the livelihood of horny teenagers until Jio craze came.

HIm: This is not what I wanted to see *sigh*

See... printers are expensive to maintain. They are the "overpriced painting" equivalent in a middle-class family. Looks good on paper,but not practically. Even if you do have one, either it is out of ink or you have no paper. I once read a joke about how blood is cheaper than the ink of the same quantity. I don't know if it true(I hope it is not), but researching is something I don't want to do at this moment (Wait a minute... That's... Nevermind)

Internet cafes always save our lives in the above case.

"Do you have a project of 52 pages to print which you have copied from your previous year senior and tomorrow is your deadline even though you had 4 months to complete this?"

Internet cafes to the rescue!!!

But there is one constant in this these internet cafes, properly said by Archemedies:

"Th're can not beest a did COLOUR printeth'r w'rking at which hour a student man cometh to printeth pictures"

I never got why these cafes will be the highest category in term of accessories but will be in the 1990s in terms of Software. Days of Windows 97 are still shining in the cafe near my home with this familiar asshole in the screen:

I wish I could put hot liquid Iron on it so that it burns and turns into slush from its own molten family.


I never got why the internet cafes need to be so shady. They are one renovation away from being a go-downs for Drug dealers. I know the aesthetics of a place doesn't matter but I don't want to fill like a criminal everytime I enter a cafe.

Dealer: For an extra Rs500, I can put a 512MB Hard Disk and a mouse-pad
Buyer: Sweeeeet!!! Count me in.

Before Phones became powerful enough to play PC rated games and certain high-quality videos, internet cafes used to be our safe havens. When your parents couldn't buy high-end PCs, you'd go to these shady places with a headphone and a little bit of "chut-ta" to play hours and hours of games like CS, MaxPayne, SpiderMan, etc. These games used to the regular hangout place with your community friends. 

I learned recursive cursing while beating the Rhino in Ultimate Spiderman


Now you may think why I included "certain high-quality videos" in the first sentence of the previous paragraph. I did so because these cafes used to be (still are) the hub of "Educational videos". You'd always find a guy in his twenties wearing a hoodie sitting in the corner booth staying for waaaaaaaaaaay too long. Sometimes strange noises of chairs rustling against the ground will be echoed across the hall. In these situations, just ignore it... Don't ever look back. AND NEVER SIT ON THAT CHAIR. NEVER. I REPEAT NEVER. 


Rating:7/10.

I could have given 9 but I am sad since Virat Kohli isn't playing in the Asia cup.

Local Trains

This is what happens when something is too cheap. Can you see a train? I see a human centipede A train travel's quality depends on 3 factors: Space in the compartment Number of people Cheapness of ticket It seems while maximising 2 and 3, they completely forgot about 1...like completely. How is it physically possible to fit so many people into such small spaces? (No " that's what she said" jokes) The only other place I have seen so many living creatures in a single place is a bee-hive. It is amazing to see how people get perplexed by the sight of other passengers fit into an already Indian  filled train cabin (you know it's a quite a lot if it is Indian filled), it looks like they go into some other dimension... Who thought the gateway to some other dimension would be some local train station 40 km from Kolkata? It seriously feels like living in an armpit. We'd give the game "Plague Inc" a good run for their money by ac...

Chappals (Sandals)

Image
It's a bikini for your feet.   " Look at that *insert derogatory   terms  to demean feet* "                                 Chappals are comfortable to wear whilst keeping your feet dry and cool. However, it's more than that. They grow into your feet. In hot and humid (basically Indian) conditions, these dinguses are very suitable. No other accessory bonds with your body like a chappal, it's almost like a "mother hugging" your feet.  The oldie but goldie Chappals                                                           (Sidenote:National Footwear, eh?) Chappals: They are Cheap... (Because it consumes less material to make) comfortable to wear Healthy for your feet The only pro...

Bis-kut

Image
No, I refuse to spell it as "biscuit". You only get the emotion when you say bis-kut.  Without it, all evening snacks would be... I don't know what to say, I have never had just plain chai.... ever. Let's just say it is blasphemous to do so. Their coupling would topple the popularity of Viruksha, easily. (Although, not as cute) Saath janam taak ek saath But you can have bis-kut alone, any time of the day, anywhere in the world. It is sort of a universal food, (kind of like Maggi) and it takes no effort to make... because it is pre-baked. But unfortunately, they don't possess the power (or the nutritional value tbh) to be a meal (if you brave enough, it can be, not advised). I once had one entire packet of bis-kuts for dinner because there wasn't good food in the mess... My stomach disagreed with the choice of food, and a few hours later gave me a piece of its mind. My stomach after gulping 2 packets of dry mari-gold There is a clear cut met...
