What better way to make your dreary existence aboard a slave ship more entertaining than being subversive. Not enough to get notice, but just enough to give yourself some secret joy. Like taking printouts of massive manuals that you'll need someday or using the office laser printer for printouts of your CV or listening to the highest bit rate channel that you can find on net-radio ;-) Btw, www.di.fm is highly recommended for all trance addicts. They have other genres as well, but trance is where it's at.
Is it just that in India the sub-cultures are so niche that they are practically non-existent? Or is it that it isn't hep here to not be part of the mainstream? I know people who've moved from Rock to Trance becuase rock has become too accessible. I confess to doing something similar to Ayn Rand literature. Don't mention her among my fave authors anymore because I see every other person doing it. It has become a cliche.
MTV - is it the same lousy channel abroad? The same blatantly commercial low-brow channel that it is here. Looks like it is targeted at the lowest common denominator. Whatever happened to 2-hour shows with Danny McGill (20 somethings will recognise him - anybody younger probably won't). If this is a youth icon, then I think youth is highly overrated
To sub-cultures! May they flourish and spawn new ones!

right-o! there is a joy in taking personal printouts from office equipment, esp. when they help u to change ur job! ;)... and i know of a guy who joined and left my company within 2 months, all the while using the office as a browsing center for floating his resume.
and mtv is a fricking paid channel out here..
Kraz: Are u finally waking up to that fact?
Subru: Is it any better even if it is paid? Or are they just paying mainstream trash?
