Eventful day

Today is when I bought my own car... Woo hoo. I will add pictures of the beauty that I own but it is yet to sink in much. I keep reminiscing about what LP sang when I get into this zone.

Yea, I own Maruti Suzuki Swift VXI with ABS - silver grey with all cool wheel upgrade. Awesome. I am waiting to get my hands on the Stereo once that happens I would be very excited. It is right now a check between JVC and Pioneer.... Life with options at every stage in life, isn't it :-) Oh I am not married yet, just if you thought I got the car by something as cheap as a Dowry !!! Moralistic man, respect.

As you know, l'm quite keen on comic books. Especially the ones about superheroes. I find the whole mythology surrounding superheroes fascinating. Take my favorite superhero, Superman. Not a great comic book. Not particularly well-drawn. But the mythology... The mythology is not only great, it's unique. Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward.
