On basement parkings, revolving doors and dying very hard…

As of last week, I hate basement parkings. Reason, it took me about 20 minutes to find where I had parked my car. In my defense, I had to find it among 1000 other cars atleast and some of the signs were not in English. I knew I had parked the car on the -2 floor in the basement near the entrance. So after a hard days work and with hunger making its presence felt through some pretty loud growling, I reached the -2 floor entrance and within 3 minutes reached a conclusion that my car had probably been stolen. With some new found vigour, I started walking along the circumference of this parking lot which is as large as a stadium. 10 minutes and one round later, I was still car-less. So I decided to go back to the entrance of the car park, 2 floors above and retrace my footsteps. 8 minutes later I found the so called 3rd entrance to the -2 floor which somehow didn’t exist when I was walking there earlier. And on the left of the entrance, I saw her. Yes, I firmly believe that my car is a woman. The reasons for this will not be disclosed to the esteemed reader here. Since that fateful day, the car has not seen the inside of a basement parking. She is now parked in the hot sun where she can be reached in exactly 4 minutes. I am sure she doesn’t like this treatment, but she has to live with this unfortunately given the circumstances.

On to revolving doors now. I have no clue as to what extra benefit they have compared to a normal door. Normal doors are quite clear as to which one is for entrance and which one is for egress. I have seen revolving doors rotate in different directions in different countries, so that adds to the confusion. Secondly, one has to pace himself with the rotating door so as to not get mauled by it. Lastly, I don’t see how they can be locked. At best, revolving doors are costly blunders. Only Charlie Chaplin and the 3 stooges put them to some good use by providing some laughs.

Die Hard is a very realistic drama which is a must see for everyone. Mr. Willis has a run-in with a F35 plane this time which has no qualms flying 1 feet over a road and under a flyover. No guess is required as to who wins this contest since we are going to be blessed with DH5 in 12 years time. Bruce Willis will be seen wielding the walking stick as his primary weapon instead of the pistol that he proudly uses now.

Finally, Tel Aviv has some good Indian food which can definitely be called Indian.
