Gimme a title

Im a silly guy
In this big wide world
Giving Emotion and love, to the fairy untold
Asking forgiveness, in all actions unknown
The light at the end, is a hard uphill jog

There is the fairy with her flowing tresses
Big brown eyes and kisses that caress
But love alas is still void, as her emotion
is hard as stone, tough to dissolve

What I am is as true as the commandments
A man searching for the oasis
Let me be, and let me show
What it is to love, and to be loved

The silly guy isn’t silly after all
To be emotional isn’t a sin at all

Thought for the day

IM STILL ALIVE....

Of Friends and Girlfriends..

Guess i do have lots of time today or is it the Delhi factor??

Anyways...i have had my share of friends,some fantastic,some so..so,some i miss,many i don't,some i don' even bother about(then why are they friends?),some who are so similar that you don't even need to make any attempt to discover them( :-] ), some who you wish you got close but they never let you get there and few who you just can't tear me away from.

I do have a guilt that most of them are of the opposite gender(8:2 ratio...tsk..tsk)(or maybe its just so that people don't call me you know what).So what is a friend??

Its tough to define the word friend.We generally do make or have friends for different reasons.One who may just be a lending hand,one who you may just talk your heart out all the time,one who you would listen to all the time,one who you use just for shopping, one for gossip etc etc.

My idea of a friend is a person who stays with you, through rain and shine,who doesnt expect anything from you in return for anything that he/she may do for you,who is not you soul mate but comes somewhere close to that.A person who you neednt take any effort to know about,coz it just doesnt matter as you could just accept them like that.A person who wudnt ask you why you didnt call them or talk to them when you find someone special in your life after being as thick as blood for a long time.A person whose shoulders who you can always use when the someone special isnt there any longer.

I have had some fantastic friends and still have some fantasic ones.Probably the current set of friends with whom im in constant touch are the closest i have ever got( and yes more the girls the merrier rules apply here too).

Now we come to the next,a little bit more critical part of girl friend(a word that i have come to hate along with its male form).I think its probably the correct time to write about it(as there is a change in my life,a happy..very happy change,so wonderful that you are so lucky to be alive,thank you,a million times raised to the power of 'n' raised to 'i',shall explain later).

All the above statements remain true,but i shall add some more on what makes this relationship more special.You feel content,dont know why all,but you do feel so content in life,the person makes you privileged,you feel whatever you give to someone when returned in the so most small ways makes giving a worthwhile effort doing again and again.You now have a purpose,a goal to not be care-free.You are going to make a lot of new relatives[;)].

Maybe there are more things to add to this,but to me i think this probably gives an overall picture.

Mucho Gracias everyone..my lifes wonderful.

Self Realization

Most of us are opportunists,as a fact all of us are. I'm a glorified form of an opportunist.I look at every instance to make a fast move & I have a keen eye for one too.

What makes an opportunist?

We are the kinds who know when a particular scrip is down & go buy everything before anyone else does,we are the kinds who know when a woman is on the verge of a breakup & be her knight in shining armour & drop her the question when she can't be without you,we find an antique & tell the seller that its not worth a penny & buy it at half the price.

So we are greedy,selfish & self-centered.we talk as if we know everything when we possibly might not know anything.we just know to &have a god given talent to find the best for ourselves.we can lie the lie as the truth.we are the best convincers in the world.

Well,now add the fact that im a taurian to this & you have the world's most cynical,self-centered opportunist ever born.
That's my self realization for the day.

Its been a long time baby...

heylo..how has the blogging world been off late??lots of changes around me in the last one month since i was in here..moved out of the most stinking place that i have ever lived in my life..PUNE(since im out of there,its safe for me to present my cynical comments)..all the impressions on pune were just misconceptions.
Lets start one by one..in the order of importance
1.You have wonderful,pretty girls(the most important,so gets preference 1)
Stinks to the core..all girls iv ever seen in pune are covered from top to bottom,the last time such an incidence happened in modern human history was in Afghanistan during the taliban regime.The main reason that the local puneites give me is that its because of the pollution and heat.Pollution for your kind information is highly rampant in Mumbai and Delhi,while pune has maybe 1% of it,so the reason should be coz of the fact that these girls dont want to be identified when they are with the guys doin all the silly nonsense that are highly objected by cultured(??) pune elders.For the matter of fact most guys iv seen in front of these girls on the bikes have the same dress sense.Heat for instance is there majorly between april-june(& during these times the outer attire is generally leather wear!!).
2.Food
Horrible nightmare.Only the 2nd time iv ever got poisoned in my life.Not a foodies place especially not a non-veg place.Ya..you do get good pav baji.And most times had to do with onlt shetty food.
3.Roads & Driving
Misery.Probably the worst roads and maybe worser drivers in the whole world.
4. Work Culture
Highly unprofessional(atleast my company was/is).
5.Cost of living
Almost as costly as Bangalore.If not costlier still.
6.Koregaon Park,Kalyani Nagar and Camp
Probably the best parts of pune.Modern people(majorly Osho guys in KP and upmarket and defense people in camp),well laid roads,some what road discipline,good food(German Bakery..yum..yum),half naked dressing sense(sic.) et all.
7.Public Transport
The most dirtiest system & buses/autos in the country,highly rash.no women is respected in the buses,push,shove,grope do whatever you want to them,neither do they seem to care or they are too used to it that they don't mind.Buses never stop in the bus stops,all 70 in the bus want to travel on the foot boards(sometimes the conductor & driver too).
8.Climate
Funny.
9.Religion
Only place till date that i have found bajans at its peak at 12 in the night!!c'mon guys gods have their personal lives too.
10.Women drive Bikes!!
Yipee..they do..so it means no drop me here,there and anywhere like in other parts of the country.Its a boon to guys who are too lazy(like me) to drive geared bikes.They do drive big bike as a matter(btw i do drive geared bikes).
11.Language
Irritating and crude language.Every word sound like a swear word.The english is close to pathetic.

So thats it..i guess i have covered what i had to.Now i feel less heavy ;)

Boulevard of Broken Dreams...

I dream and I dream, to do and to not

Of cool wind in summer and warm sunshine in winter

Of a happy land where there are no poor

Of relationships that live ever

And for kids who cry never

There is no love without pain; there is no pain in love

And no life if you are not loved

There is pleasure in giving without getting

Alas, sad that humans are so forgetting

I dreamt once of a family; one that is mine

Love all around, fairies in tow

A cute kid and a caring partner

Now that dream is long forgotten

I have moved stones for the one I loved

Walked on thorns to save her the pain

Blood, sweat and tears

I have lost more than I have gained

Still I rise, dreaming for a better tomorrow

Praying that I give more to the one that follows

Even if hurt, even if broken

There is always hope

This is my boulevard of broken dreams

Ok there has been no plagiarism involved in this,excluding the title which if i remember rightly is a song of Green Day.If anyone finds it similar to something else,then its 2 people thinking in the same way

I know...iam a very good looking guy..

That was what i was thinking for a long time till reality brought me bang on my feet today :(.one of those usual boring days where you sit alone & get kicks out of watching people go by.Must admit the two most interesting things to watch are a bunch of crows and people.they are so similar.chattering non stop,fighting for place and food,looking for the most good looking among each other.have you ever seen the way a crow looks at you?one crooked eye on you waiting for any reaction from you and the other eye on its target,the crooked actions with their necks almost M.J break dancing style cross barathanatyam (black or white song types)

So this was what i was doing sitting in one of the multiplex food malls in pune(oh,i haven't talked about pune,that requires one posting) called city pride(!!!) in kothrud.A late 4'o clock lunch of chilly and jalapeño pizza with breads and ice tea.It was close to show time and i was sitting next to a huge glass window that overlooks the escalator (the one that takes you up,know what something that takes you down is called??) that take people(not crows) to the hall.

It was the usual family cum couplish "oh!!its the weekend.i wanna watch a movie" crowd.One major thing i observed. we people don't seem to have got an hang of going up in elevators.this generally is the process

I'm not really so great at drawing with paint on a touch pad.But i hope this does explain what i intend to.People get from step 1 to step last in the most in numerous ways of acrobatism that set me thinking if we need to add "how to climb up in an escalator?" as a part of out school curriculum.Generally its pretty simple.Follow these step

1. Place your hand on the railing and get yourself a proper grip.
2. Place one firm leg on one of the steps (left or right,not both)
3. Place the other leg on the next step (again only one leg)
4. Then depending on the balance you can choose to remain in this way or keep both legs firmly planted in one step
5. Then before you reach the end place one leg firmly on the floor (only one leg people, don't jump like rabbits)
6. The other and you are off.

"SIMPLE"
But yes i did see two important things on 2 people. As below:

1. Australia - on the front of a girl's T.Now what do i comment on??
   
2. Everyone wants to go to heaven,no one wants to die - on a guys, he was just going up an elevator.
   

For more tips on elevators, refer
http://www.jimandellen.org/gmuhome/MovingScala.html
and
http://www.eesf.org/safetrider/article5.htm

Oh yeah, the part on me looking good, as i thought was coz everyone going up the elevator was staring at me.Eventually it was not me. it was because of what i was eating



Don't it look ugly??And yes as the "wonderfully wow" girl said "you look ugly every day!!"
Hmmm..life goes on....

Why men cry & women don't care a damn...

I observe people well, don’t ask me how, but it’s just a god given talent that I have. I know when two people are in love, when two people are fighting, when people are confused, when people are angry, I just have this innocuous ability to detect a minor change in the tone of a person that is different from normal & relate it to an emotion.The other day I saw a couple in the office cafeteria, a pretty strange sight, a guy crying & the girl consoling him. This holy sight is not something you see everyday.Men are pretty vicious creatures. Crying to them is an act of emotional subjugation of their women. It’s their version of emotional blackmail. Say for example you say "my parents have started looking out for a guy for me”, he says "I need more time”, you say "how much longer?” he does this. One tear from the corner of the left eye, which would be the most melodramatic half tears you would ever see in your life, now he says "you know where I’m now. What would I speak to your parents? You know you are the only one I have in my life (as if he was born orphan!!".then comes the next half tear from the right eye, now the girl is sinked.she brings him closer to her chest & the guy very merrily smiles to himself.hmm...My dear ladies, its time you stopped trusting these croc tears. You are & will be much stronger than any man. I mean you just have to look at a man & he knows what you want & does it. See that’s extra sensory perception. I mean women hardly need to lift a limb to get things done.Ok to be fair to my brothers, it’s sort of true that men are very emotional. The hard as hell outlook to the world is just a mask. Most, that is 99.9999% men are weak inside. So women know this & take advantage of this. Aren’t they wise my dears? Women sometimes choose such guys too & when it gets too emotional they dump them, you know like that piece of trash that u segregate as recyclable & non & dump it in the green or red bin, men are the green ones. Recyclable you see...And yes break ups hurt men more; women seem to just move on faster. Probably they have too many distractions. Like that next recyclable guy waiting in the line, who looks like a mama's boy.Also men who dump women are weird jerks. I got to know a wonderfully pretty girl a week back. I mean "SHE IS WONDERFULY WOW”. And I couldn’t believe that some guy could actually dump her. The reason was his parents wouldn't accept it. I mean man, what all are you going to ask permission from your people for?? Aren’t you mature enough?? I mean mom can I pee in the morning?? Can I use these color undies today?? Go take a walk u dumb ass****.Lady he doesn't deserve you, I have hardly spoken to you for a day but my gut feels that you are different, special. To you I quote this

No More Tears
Barbra Streisand & Donna Summer
________

It's raining, it's pouring
my love life is boring me to tears,
after all these years

No sunshine, no moonlight,
no stardust, no sign of romance
we don't stand a chance

I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover
but he turned out to be like every other man
our love, our love

Raining (raining)
pouring (pouring)
there's nothing left for us here
and we won't waist another tear

If you've had enough,
don't put up with his stuff,
don't you do it
If you've had your fill,
get the check pay the bill,
you can do it

Tell him to just get out
nothing left to talk about
pack his raincoat show him out
just look him in the eyes and simple shout

Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on, no more no
enough is enough, is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now

Enough is enough

If you've reached the end,
don't pretend that is right
when it's over (It's over)
if the feeling is gone
don't think twice just move on
get it over (over, over)
tell him to just get out, say it clearly, spell it out

Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on, no more no
enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now

Enough is enough

I've always dreamed to find the perfect lover,
but he turns out to be like every other man
our love (I had no choice from the start)
our love (I've gotta listen to my heart)
our love (tearing us apart)

Enough, is enough, is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
enough, is enough, is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now

Enough is enough

No more tears (no more tears)
no more tears (no more tears)
no more tears (no more tears)
no more tears (no more tears)
enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough
I've had it, you've had it, he's had it, we've had it
enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough
I've hat it, you've had it, he's had it, we've had it

I always dreamed I find the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man

I had no choice from the start
I've gotta listen to my heart
tearing us apart

Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on, no more no
enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now

Goodbye mister, goodbye, goodbye mister, goodbye sugar

It's raining, it's pouring
there's nothing left for us here
and we won't waist another tear

No more tears
is enough is enough is enough is enough
is enough is enough is enough is ENOUGH!!!

Go take on that recyclable guy & avenge that guy’s mistake. Some men folk are just not worthy of such amazing women. Some men are like dogs, they go "oh, I smell fresh stuff, what season is it?”. You now know why there are so many cross breeds.

In her mind she's repeating the words
All the love you put out will return to you

Moi es back..

you are aqua #00FFFF

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right. Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

ha..ha..well quite a way to start of a new year on my blog..sme1 sent this link to me and this what i found out abt myself..sounds interesting

The one i love..

Haven't slept in a week
My bed has become my coffin
Cannot breath, cannot speak
My head's like a bomb, still waiting
Take my heart and take my soul
I don't need them anymore

The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
The one I love
Drowning me in my dreams
The one I love
Over and over again
Dragging me under

Hypnotized by the night
Silently rising beside me
Emptiness, Nothingness
Is burning a hole inside me
Take my faith and take my pride
I don't need them anymore

This bed has become my chapel of stone
A garden of darkness to where I'm thrown
So take my life, I don't need it anymore

In my life..

Feel the heat below my feet

I have to go, no time to sleep
Can't believe the things you say
I turn my head and walk away
You make me sick - you make me nervous

Times had gone when you would say
This is the one and seize the day
Times had gone for honesty
My victory is your defeat
Can't you see you've been mistaken

In my life I decide and it turns me on,
How I am, how I live, who I love
In my way I feel strong and it turns my on
In my life, I decide, I decide

I decide

I decide

All you do you can't deny
It's waste of time, waste of life
Can I suggest that you invest
In something more than hopelessness
Before you know the ride is over

In my life I decide and it turns me on,
How I am, how I live, who I love
In my way I feel strong and it turns my on
In my life, I decide, I decide

It's up to you if you give it up
It's up to you if you won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up
It's up to you if you won't stop

It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you if you won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you
It's up to you...

The record shows that you're dead but you're still living
Every time you have died you have been given
Another chance to fix your bad attitude
And make a move, it's up to you

It's up to you if we give it up, give it up
It's up to you if we give it up, give it up
It's up to you
It's up to you
YOU...

Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up

Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up

Aaaaarrrrghhhhh...

The last week of my life has been such a useless waste of time. Doing the same routine sec after sec is such a tiring activity. Let me list it down for the unlucky souls who may be reading it

• Get up at 7
• Wake up and wonder why it gets dawn by that time.
• Brush the teeth long enough to make it the winning entry in any contest at any point of time and curse that the hair is soo curly after sleeping.
• Try to off load some stake in the physical equity which is very tough doing so in the place of disinvestment that is very new.
• Take a bath that would put a bird to shame.
• Dress up like a Barbie doll.
• Eat dosas.
• Start leaving for work with the ever efficient hari on his bike till RS Puram.
• Take the silly 7 route which believes in going around the world in 30mins to go till race course that is 10mins away.
• Open the only computer in which the interesting network is available.
• Log on to google, personalized home (Sic.), check the horoscope and hope that the present and future at least is good on the net.
• Go to gmail and check all the new irrelevant mails that monster throws out as search.
• Open the official mail id and know beforehand that boss will surely not taken any decision on the mail that you sent him 4 days back.
• Open orkut and scrap all the half lings that are on your friend list.
• Open icicidirect and see how your scrips are doing.
• Then open all the bank accounts and hope that some billionaire ship tycoon in Greece who has no children found out that you are genetically related to him and deposits about 300billion dollars.
• Then wait for the pitiful co workers to turn up who jus don’t seem to like to talk in any other language than Bengali.
• Eat the most wonderful tea, courtesy the client.
• Look at every woman who passes by and think of a statement that suits her.
• Close yourself from the rest of the world, Start listening to music.
• Read all the silly documents that you have managed to seek and save all your life.
• Go to annapuarana and eat at 1.30 sharp
• Have the next wonderful cup of coffee, courtesy again the client.(some best coffees and teas come down south)
• Then do the google till bank account part again.
• Start to think of leaving at 4 sharp.
• Start packing the bags by 5.30 sharp.
• Do the google to icici part by 6.30.
• Take the 7 service again and go till RS Puram to meet hari.
• You know he’s gonna be late so try and hog some ice creams in bon bon.
• Meet up with the guys by around 8.30 ish and start the debate on where and what to eat.
• Eat and go home by 11.

Whoever said time is precious should try and take some time from me for free. Every passing day seems to be like floating in outer space in search of a galaxy that was lost some 1000 light years ago. End of this sojourn im mostly gonna end up as philosophical and irrititable like Aristotle or Socrates. Worse I guess this routines gonna continue for a loooonnnggg time.

The Covenant

I did go to the movie expecting it to be in an interesting thriller/horror genre, what it finally turned out to be was a bunch of good looking teens in the shortest of clothes in ill edited action scenes, no screenplay and the worst possible emotional dialogues(sic.).

I always believe that the first impression is the best impression. The first scene did start of as expected, amazingly choreographed sequence with an interesting background score called “More human than human” by White Zombie. I have always been a fan of heavy metal music and I have this new found fascination for something called punk rock. This is that sort of a song that hits you hard and makes your skin stand at its end. Add the sequence to it; this is not a scene to be missed.

The rest of the movie is not even worth talking about.

Well, the story goes like this. In the 1600’s few families from Ipswich run away for their lives from England and settle down in America, guess for what? They are witches dumbo. So they have this treaty or covenant or whatever in which they decide that they shut their mouth and not use their powers. So there is this black sheep family that breaches this code of conduct and the present descendant decides to show off his powers and become the strongest of them all by taking all of the hero’s powers (you jus need to say “I give all my powers to…..”’, just like you sign a will, simple). The good witches don’t like it; the hero fights the villain, kills him, and takes the girl, end of story.

These seven lines take 1.3hrs to be represented in the movie.ywaaannnn….

I sometimes admire the story telling capabilities of these directors. I recommend that they include a separate category in the Oscars every year for such movies. Suggestions for the names are most welcome.

Confusion

Something that I read in the telegraph in Kolkata.One on “Dada” returning back to competitive cricket, being as tough as he has always been and the other on confusion.

Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, and a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little bit faster, they have to have the skill & the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul & come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

Confusion is a result of conclusions. If you have a conclusion already & then life appears as something else, you are confused. Don’t fix life, but drop your conclusions.

Well the first one was said by probably the toughest sportsman ever, the living legend Mohammed Ali. A man who I got to know about first during my 12^th standard and whose will power has never ceased to amaze me. He has been through race subjugation, Alzheimer’s and many other traumas and still arose like a unicorn from its ashes. A source of inspiration for many a black American during the late 70s and 80s and probably the most uncelebrated of all the anti racists. The man was treated a true hero upon his return to Kentucky, was given the city keys. Yet the devotion he had to his brethren made him do an unimaginable thing. How many would have chucked an Olympic medal into oblivion coz he & his race was insulted, remember the medals those days had lots of real gold in them unlike today. A genius of a boxer, the butterfly, as he was called because like the insect he flutters around hitting when he needs to and tiring his opponent into submission.

The words are not only apt for dada, but many among us who have to go through some of the toughest times and yet find THAT inner self that makes us go further, more stronger than ever, more determined to achieve the impossible. Not many people can cope up with defeat on their faces everyday, not many will like to keep on facing defeats, yet living to fight for it another day.

You always have the option of either choosing to live or die. And in dying you can chose to fight and die or to commit suicide. It’s better to fight it out, know what you are worth and die rather than being a coward and taking the easier way out. This is true in every case. Our day to day work, our family life, in relationships, almost every second we fight within ourselves. Take for example our body, it’s in war with millions of bacteria every millisecond, yet the moment we lose our will, we find ourselves being thrown into a hapless world of doctors, test reports and dosages. As the man said, it’s only a matter of will.

The second was supposedly by a Zen master (was in the Tarot column). I don’t know why iam putting it down here. It just sounded quite logical to me. True, the japs always had a practical way to life.
