hey guys,

how r ya all??? i believe, its been pretty long since u'd c'n some junk mail in ur mailbox!!!! ther u go!!! 1 comes up rite away!! anyway, i mite have caused quite a pain in the ass 4 atleast some of u by not having a fone 4 a wile... this fone thing has really gotten me pissed ofF!!! wen i moved out from frank's house, i thout i cud get my own connection in the aptt. immediately.. but i'd 2 inordinately postpone it 'coz i did'nt have a credit record established yet, they needed a 300$ deposit & 1 of the dumbass customer reps. at sprint told that i cudn't get bak my deposit unless i'd an year of immaculate payment history with sprint!! i wasn't sure how long i was gonna stay in apopka.. so i was thinking.. meanwile i called up again & this time it was clarified that they wud return the deposit after an year if i still had the account but however they wud return the full deposit anytime i wish 2 stop using sprint service.. that was fair enuf.. so the coming week i'm gonna have a fone at last (hopefully!!!)...

coming 2 this all xiting trip v r gonna make 2 miami during the memorial day weekend, makes me float on cloud-9!!!! i walk at least 5-ft over the ground-level (however, nobody wud notice me doing that 'coz i'm the only person who hasn't got a car & uses the sidewalk like it wer all mine!!!)... & i look down on every other person in apopka!! (just 'coz i'm gonna c my friends & that v r gonna freak out like its the day b4 doom!!! tillu/vikki/vams, i can't wait until memorial day!! y can't u make it any sooner????)

ok now 4 my regular boring stuff... i've discovered some interesting facts 'bout flordia (&people around me in particular & myself!!!) wich i'm gonna spit in the lines 2 follow : (i) the most scary thing.. florida is the lightning capital of the world... its like 100-thunder-bolt-hits per sq.mile each year... that's a heck a lot of bolts & ther've been many casualities with these thunder bolts.. so, if i'm ever hit with a thunder bolt, i will at least enter the annals being the 1st indian 2 b hit with a thunder bolt in the states!!! (ii) this 1's is a little more interesting (may b scary 2 some of u stuffed-shirts!!), i've made some rough statistics with the 10-or-so acquaintaces i've made here. ther've been 30+ marriages among these 10-people, yet 6 of 'em r single rite now!!! these people r xtremely detached (or do they project it 'coz of my own aloofness????.. i'll try & find out!!) (iii) now 'bout myself... i'vent changed an inch (yet ravi unreasonably blames me that i put on this fashionable mask as an american & calls my sofisticated accent filthy language... how meaner can a friend get???)... anyway, 2 corroborate my claim, i'll briefly describle my daily skedule... i wake up at around 7:45 am & automatically the new album of alanis morisette titled "supposed former infatuation junkie" (i luv the way she uses all lower case letters on the cover page & in the lyrics of the CD!!!) starts playing until i leave for the office!!! (now.. that i used 2 lisen 2 "annamayya" songs all the time in mamaji's house in NJ is irrelavent here!!!).. in the office, i'm surrounded by insecure people, talkin & cursing (sometimes with others & most of the times 2 themselves!!!) 'bout masturbating, penises, bitches, inumerable fucks.... as if they wer the new discounted items on the walmart catalog... then again i do take part in such conversations with considerable ease (with a southern accent ofcourse, 2 gain entry into the elitistic gang!!!)... & then i keep munching chips (with onion dip), tortillas, cookies etc., drink gallons of pepsi thru out the day!! (now again, that i used 2 b surrounded by happily married couples, ate homemade orthodox indian dishes & talked in the crudest of telangana accent, is not really the case in point!!!!) ever after i'm bak home, the 95.3 FM (the so-called partyFM) or the 106.7 FM keep warbling either obsene or unintelligent or loud or profane lyrics with discordant music (i don't switch off the radio until 3.00 in the morning).. in fact, the music serves as a lullaby 2 my insomniac soul!!!! (now if i used 2 appreciate soft telugu & hindi music bak in india, what's the big deal????) wenever i go shoppin i swipe my credit card as if it wer a free-ride tiket.. never calculatin how much i'm spendin... & on the other hand criticize the credit card companies 4 being so smart that they keep giving credit 2 push the guileless public into deeper debts!! (wat if i'd never taken a penny as credit from any 1 bak in india?? i never needed 2 b this outrageous with my fancies, rite???) i wish any damn person that i meet (however hypocratic it may sound, i admire this american culture!!!) how much ever i despice his/her attitude !!! (now, again, i was actually being unsocial, if i were non-manipulative & never cared a shit if i didn't like the other person) i'm worried 'bout the supposedly impending summer (wer actually i shud use a fan 2 keep off heat!!!) with temps. as high as 35C!!! (now, i was not stayin in FL, United States, wen i cud easily manage with a skeduled powercut at temp. over 45C!!) all these facts shud suffice my claims!!! & ther are several other insdisputable proofs wich i can't put into words... what if i follow-up & admire the myriad remixes & re-re-mixes of popular tunes (in comparison with the way i sneered at the bolly/tolly-wood music composers who plagiarized amerikan tunes) what if i appreciate the candor of couples ostentatiously displayin their sexual prowess??? what if i watch in exitement the dramatized versions of the stories of gunned down kids, of the millions of hunger deaths, of the air-crashes, like it wer a movie??? (in contrast 2 the way i used 2 get gloomy even if i heard the news 'bout a stranger's death) what if i clean my loo & dishes & call it being self-sufficient??? wat if i spend more than i earn?? wat if my monthly budget has more entries like bat cages, dog mattresses, pet litters than basik necessities??? what if i hold the amerikans at hi-esteem who work in fillin stations, restaurants etc. & call it diginity of labor.. just 'coz they r fair-skinned??? wat if i'm more finiky 'bout bein spik-&-span than i'm considerate 4 the fellow beings??? wat if i think homosexuality is as normal as heterosexuality??? i'm still not materialistic & egoistic like americans & i'm not westernised!!!! so, u guys back me up ... that i'm not really westenised/amerikanised!!! please send overwelming mails 2 ravi kiran (email-id : ravikg@hotmail.com) demanding him 2 unconditionally take back his nasty remarks!!!
