ENGLISH SHAYARI OF THE DAY

SHAYARI ---> what the hell is this ..

sunday crazy sunday

so after a overwhelming friday which involved a blazing round of golf in the desert, and a pityful saturday which involved trying to find roomates for the pad i was wondering on sunday morning as to what was in store for me .. and i was still in my blues and my roomie knocks and drags me to go to vegas .. so we drive reach there in the evening ,, gamble .. (effective loss 1 $) am proud of meself .. see cheap ass free shows .. eat the world famous surf buffet and its four a.m on monday and we say to hell with sleep lets drive back .. i dont think i have gone without sleep for 28 hrs straight ever before in my life.

ominous signs

Usually i am not superstitious ,, but somethings can have an impact on me .. it has to be really powerful though ..
for eg. yesterday was one of those days .. has it ever happened to anyone while driving to say ur work or whereever every light that can possibly turn red has turned red and u had to stop at every intersection ..
i was like will the madness stop ... and lo it didnt .. i went to the grocery store took a deep breath and then it happened again on the way back ..
that was when i said .. ok something has changed somewhere and someone is sending me an ominous sign .. so what do i do .. i decide to stay in the quiet confines of me home for the rest of the day and let the bizzare patters fly away. looks like i just needed to take a break and chill at home .. the lights seem to have been behaving much better today :)

Religious connotations

So i went to church with my roomie this past sunday, ah just for curiosity i have never been to one in the US.
Acoording to my roomie there are a lot of differences between the churches here and me not much aware and all was surprised when he said his was the cool kinda church where the service happens at a fast pace with a more upbeat and lively enviroment.

up until that point i was like all churches were the same sing praise to the lord i mean how can one think there would be variations to that now ?
so it was easter sunday and there was a lot of rejoicing the pastor came up with a really forceful and evangelical speech about the resurrection and the retribution and what it all holds for all the christians. according to him the resurrection was a sign of hope, a hope that all ur sins will be forgiven if u embrace jesus christ.
what i did like about christianity is its really a very simple ideology, u embrace christ and u have nothing to worry. it is for those who are weak and there are a lot of weak people in the world probably around 90%, so therefore amounts to why it became so popular.
it is for those who are looking for hope, for those who have lost all their will to battle their odds and have come to the crossroads, or that is the message the pastor conveyed. which i thought, the rational atheist that i am, to be a really a weak evangelical premise. if i were the pastor my speech on easter sunday would be no matter what u do to a good man( jesus christ ) he would live forever because he was a good soul. but hey that is not going to bring u more followers so i guess the pastor had to send out a message of deliverance for the weak.

anyways funny thing was that i noticed how all men of sanctity, whether pastorrs, priests, sadhus, imams when they address their followers attack the three basic thoughts

where we come from
whats our purpose
where will we go

and the way they go about justifying these thoughts may be different ... some more complicated and some really simple , some catering to people of all will, some catering more to the weak, point is the common ground that lies among the men of god is really distinct. execpetion would be really buddhist ideology .. where they dont worry about one and three but only two. thereby making me say again if i ever prescribed a religion it would be buddhism.

questions one and three according to me are what makes a few men manipulate billions ... because the blind world loves to follow those who say they have an answer to one and three.

any ways that was toomuch of serriousness in one post .. but hey i thought i hadnt written anything serious in a while so the onus is on u to bear with me :)

Choices

Sometimes u come to a point when decisions are hard to make and u have to bite the bullet and move on ..
today was one such day ...
riverdance or basketball

riverdance : broadway show , involves my roomate some of his lady friends, bunch of dancers providing you a visual delight

basketball: desi style, bunch of hyd homies scrmbling with the ball, making tons of noise and not much scoring ..

basketball wins considering the drama that happens u could see it as a blue collar version of any broadway show :)

Generational Artifacts:
every nation has a cultural revolution period.. the US for eg it was the 60's so u see a starrk difference in the people born after the 60's and the people born prior to that.
The people born in the 60's have what i call generational artifacts. These artifacts in most cases appear to be physiological and behavioral. The seem to be undecided on lot of things for no fault of their own. They could very easily become ur friend or your enemy and u would always wonder why. what i am trying to say they display a lot of uncertainity.

so natuarlly i was heading towards india and i think that period is the mid 70's to the mid 80's. i pity the poor souls .. but hey if one thing that can bring them solace is that a recent survey indicated most of the billionaires in the US at present were born in the 60's

How To make "Quick" Money Par II (by popular demand)

Since everyone cannot be MR. Gibson and pull of a cross fight in celluloid i decided to come up with ideas for the folklore.
Trying any of this is at your own risk and parental discretion may or may not be needed depending on ur moral jurisprudence.

Slog ur butt to get a PhD degree.
Mke ur dissertation commercially lucrative.
Convince the Venture capitalists that u are thier saviour.
Get a shit load of money funded into your rollabula of an idea.
Hire a bunch of geeks to do the dirty work
Dont wait long sell your company to a bigger Fish ( trust me there will be many willinng to swallow u)
Retire ur ass into the Alps.

dont get me wrong this is the quickest way this age and in this game

POWDER Boarding

Well it doesnt happen that often in AZ when u get 18 inches of snow in three days and they say that its going to be bright and sunny after the storm.
So naturally i was at the mountains in the middle of the week boarding 3 feet of fresh powder for the first time ever in my life.
I was all beat up in 5 runs down the slope .. Powder boarding is no joke, IT wears u down and wears u down quick. The worst thing is u cannot stop on ur way down, or if u ever did then it would be a very long stop for you, and the 3 feet of snow u would have sunk under.

strange but possible

If i did move back to india like i always wanted to .. i could easily represent my country in the winter olympics as the lone snowboarder from the nation of a billion hardworking peoples.

Conspiracy theory No. 1

This will bea easier for my Indian homies to understand ....
but in short there is a very famous temple in south india in the city of tirupati thats built on a hill and u have to climb a whole bunch of steep steps to reach it.
SO i propose that this was built by a bunch of hiking enthusiasts to get more people to become healthy, fit and increase their cardio rate.
Well the thought never stuck to me untill i was doing a similar steep hike in Az, of course theres no temple on the top of this one, but anyways the thought struck me on my way up as this reminded me of the temple climb back in the home land, and i began to wonder why would anyone build it all the way on top ?
But of course if the hikers who wanted the lazy people of that time to move thier buts had just built a steep trail and asked the folks to hike up in the morning and u will be rewarded with a helathy life no one would have budged. so they had but no option to build a temple of significant importance so that the junta around them would develop a better cardiovascular rate

College of Education SouthAfrican Female Graduate Student : How has culture influenced ur life ?

Moi: Culture today is a retreat zone, much like the movies, its really not mainstream in the orld we live in. We live in a world where we would have to do what it takes to keep our heads over water. we may have some choices in front but for the most part they are not culturally connected.

Her: How do u mean ?

Me: Well if would only eat rice and beans according to your culture u couldnt survive in hells kitchen leave alone madagascar. Or if your culture told u to touch ur elders feet as a sign of respect u would see a shotgun hole in ur brains trying to do that in redneck texas.

Her: You are ridiculously crazy

Me: yeah probably but at least i have the balls to ask you out unlike my culturally bound tight lipped counterparts

Black JACk

I finally slept well, infact slept like a baby, i had forgotten how this felt for a long time. the silent new apartment within a no noise neighborhood has done it to me.

Made me conclude that u have to live life as if you were playing black jack at a casino.
The winning rule goes like this : " play at a table till it makes you money the moment u see ur earnings slip away rise immediately and find another table"

For most part people never understand this simple rule and hope to salvage their losses by sticking to thier bases.

I now believe life should be played similary. The world today doesnt have much scope for hope or second chances, u have to be rationally steadfast, sometimes bite the bullet and instantly move on.

Sauerkraut mania

I hope zee germans dont kill me for my verbatim, byt nevertheless i am taking a fancy for sauerkraut these days, i eat it almost with anything, fries+ S, cheesBurger + S, yogurt + S,
pickled Rice + S ..
then i went up to look why this urge and whats it really made up off ..

From the HEalth Magazine "Sauerkraut, made by fermenting cabbage, is an excellent natural tonic for the digestive organs. It can easily be made at home and is a delicious and healthy accompaniment to meals."

so there it goes i guess i have been craving for some digestive enzymes now that BEER is outta my life.

I am in love with Marion Cotillard
family numerology

grandfather (PAK) born in family of four children as the third child; he was the only male
grandmother (KS) born in family of 11 children as the fourth child

father (PKA) born in family of four children as the third child; he was the only male
mother ( LS) born in family of 11 as the fourth child

Me born in family of 2 as the first child; i am the only male
what does that equate my wife to be ??

surely the influences of marijuana can be profound
there comes a time in every mans life when he looks at the woman he is with and wonders how lucky he really is
the problem is it comes only once in his life time

Hiatus Briefings

So i was gone for the cristmas and new yrs break to the east coast and .. whoa what a trip it was couldnt believe the 14 days went flying by.
Phoenix ->New york city-> jersey -> albany-> vermont ->albany->jersey->new Haven-> New york city-> jersey-> Washington D.c-> new york City -> Phoenix Phew

One thing though i will never move to the East coast .. its all fun and all but its not for me .. cant live there .. its too much of a hassle .. i guess the west has pampered me too much

close Encounters

Usually i dont attempt to pour my thoughts into a paragraph and be verbose in my approach to blogging, but then what the heck everyone needs a bed time story once in a while :)

So the other day i was thinking how people come and go out of our lives , sometimes on a daily basis,
tell us their little story and dissapear into the wilderness. Sometimes we are moved by these stories and other times we are like uHH do i know u??

Most of us are usually are caught up in our own little miseries that we never really have time to rewind and rollback these little stories that are hidden inside our minds.
Now ever so often u say screw yall to everything around you and escape into the woods and pick out a story that makes u happy. its like going to ur dusty cd rack and picking out music u havent heard in a while.

And then u end up thinking what ever happened to that person. Oh how i wish i had a gadget that would enable me to track my list of homies and see what they have gone thru over time. I guess the blogs do serve this purpose somebit, but wouldnt it be cool to just know everything about everyone u have cared for in your life without having to take too much effort.

the lack of such an instrument thereof is what i think to be the cause of constant change in peoples social surroundings, well not that i am discounting the burdens of the chaotic chain of everyday mundane necessities of life ... like ah my laundry basket is full or darn my credit card bill needs to be paid .. considering them as common ground , well of course if u happen to be a hippie it all dont count, i would think that the lack of close connections with people who have touched us propels us to find easy escape routes and settle for easy access scenarios ... oh you should meet this new bosnian dude i hang out with .. he is absolutley hilarious.

before i stop making any sense to meself i am sorry i have to end my attempt at pouring down my thoughts

I am Giving u away for someone else to take

Oh Getting nostalgic on music I am


--------------~-------------------------------------------------------
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Can not find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me...
All these changes taking place. I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
I swear I recognize your breath...
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former...
It's hard when, your stuck upon the shelf...
I changed by not changing at all... small town predicts my fate...
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see...
I just want to scream... Hello.
My god its been so long,... never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are... and here I am... Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade...

oh Amore!!

##
OOnce in a while i come to a point when everything is zero.
Yesterday's up or down doesn't effect anything. I am in a place, like a womb,
like a still unborn baby, but the difference being I have an adult, insecure
fearful mind.
I have nothing, and all that I wanted to accomplish seems unworthwhile. The
world is there, with its million choices, and it's difficult to chose because my
adult prrbah mind finds fault with everything. Even buddha doesn't pass the
test.
We have all faced the world for however many years.
We have seen on an everyday basis new things and thngs repeating themselves.
Pleasant and unpleasant.
Fantasy, and fear are manifestations of the unstable mind. The stable mind sees
all as one, and equal. Nothing is big enough, or too small.

So the void I feel is both pleasant and unpleasant. As if I have a clean chit,
when I need a resume.

have you felt it at anytime...?

I feel small I talk big, I feel big I am silent.

I can't do much for anybody except engage them in dialogue. Maybe make people
think. No I don't think that's true either. I am now moving out of the void.
This mail is doing its job.

I have a plan for the evening, I have fantasies and fears. Talk and action.

I'd like one of you with surplus to lend me some will power.

Is there anybody?

FightClub Insomnia:

For six months...I couldn't sleep.

INT. COPY ROOM - DAY

Echo " I couldn't sleep...I couldn't sleep...I couldn't sleep..."
Jack, sleepy, stands over a copy machine. His Starbucks cup sits on the lid, moving back and forth as the machine copies.

JACK (V.O.)
With insomnia, nothing's real. Everything is far away. Everything is a copy, of a copy, of a copy.

Other people make copies, all with Starbucks cups, sipping.

INT. JACK'S OFFICE - SAME

Jack's P.O.V. : A bin full of newspapers, Starbucks cup and FAST FOOD GARBAGE.

JACK (V.O.)
When deep space exploration ramps up, it will be corporations that name everything: The IBM Stellar Sphere. The Microsoft Galaxy. Planet Starbucks.

Jack, sipping stares blankly as his BOSS enters, Starbucks cup in hand, and hands a stack of reports.

BOSS
Gonna need you out-of-town a little more this week. We've got some "red-flags" to cover.

JACK (V.O.)
It must've been Tuesday. He was wearing his "cornflower-blue" tie.

JACK
(listless management speak)
You want me to de-prioritize my current reports until you advise of a status upgrade?

BOSS
Make these your primary "action items". Here are your flight coupons. Call me from the road if there are any snags.

Jack's boss slides the stack of reports on Jack's desk and leaves.

JACK (V.O.)
He was full of pep. Must've had his grande latte enema.

INT. BATHROOM - JACK'S CONDO - NIGHT

Jack sits on the toilet, CORDLESS PHONE to his ear, flips through an IKEA catalog. There's a stack of old PLAYBOY magazines and other catalogs nearby.

JACK (V.O.)
Like so many others, I had become a slave to the IKEA nesting instinct.

JACK
(into phone)
Yes, I'd like to order the Erika Peccary dust ruffles...

OPERATOR (V.O.)
Please hold.

Jack drops the catalog on the floor.

MOVE IN ON CATALOG - ON PHOTO of COFFEE TABLE SET...

JACK (V.O.)
If I saw something clever like coffee table sin the shape of a yin and yang, I had to have it.

INT. LIVING ROOM / DINING AREA / KITCHEN

JACK (V.O.)
The Klipske personal office unit, the Hovertrekke home exer-bike. Or the Johannshamnh sofa with the Strinne green stripe pattern...

The office unit APPEARS. Then the exer-bike APPEARS.

JACK (V.O.)
Even the Rislampa wire lamps of environmentally-friendly unbleached paper.

THE LAMP APPEARS. PAN OVER to wall...

JACK (V.O.)
I would flip through catalogs and wonder "what kind of dining set defines me as a person?"

A dining room set APPEARS. Jack, the cordless phone still glued to his ear, walks INTO FRAME and continues. Jack opens a cabinet with plates in it.

JACK (V.O.)
I had it all. Even the glass dishes with tiny bubbles and imperfections, proof they were crafted by the honest, simple, hard working people of...wherever.

OPERATOR (V.O.)
Please hold.

JACK
(into phone)
I was holding.

JACK( V.O.)
We used to read pornography. Now it was the Horchow Collection.

Jack closes the cabinet. He rummages through the refrigerator. It's practically empty. Jack takes out a jar of mustard, opens it and uses a butter knife to eat it.

INT. DOCTOR'S OFFICE - DAY

Jack, eyes puffy, face pale, sits before an INTERN, who studies him with bemusement.

INTERN
No, you can't die from insomnia.

JACK
What about narcolepsy? I nod off, I wake up in strange places, I have no idea how I got there.

INTERN
You need to lighten up.

JACK
Can't you, please, just give me something?

JACK (V.O.)
Red-and-blue Tuinal lipstick-red seconals.

INTERN
(overlapping with above)
No. You need healthy, natural sleep. Chew some valerian root and get some more exercise.

The Intern rushes Jack to the door. They step into the...

INT. HALLWAY

The Intern walks away from Jack, picks up a chart.

JACK
Hey, come on. I'm in pain.

INTERN
(facetious)
You wanna see pain? Swing by First Methodist Tuesday night. See guys with testicular cancer. That's pain.

The intern moves into the other room. Jack stares after him.

Old man and a little girl

The little girl Went wandering by
Went wandering by Went wandering by
the moor

She was happy She was happy She was happy
for there was no one around

She could Shout out loud Jump up high Roll on the grass
for no one could see

The little girl Came up to Came up to Came up to
a Giant oak tree

Out came From the shadows From the shadows From the shadows
a grumpy old man

The little girl Went running from Went running from
Went running from
the grumpy old man

She hid under the grass hid by the bushes and hid by the trees
so the old man wouldnt see

The old man though made her laugh made her happy made her dandy
since he was grumpy as grumpy could be

To this day the Village folks say the Village folks say the Village folks say
This odd little tale

And wonder about the Magical day the Magical day the Magical day
when the old man and the little girl met

Are the Stars
trying to tell you something ?
The Rush

The force within is too hard to control
The freak inside just wants out
The moods they change so very often
The thought inside just wants out
The blood flows with such turbulence
The fear inside just wants out
The change of seasons so proclaims
The doom for the people who just want out

sickness Vs cure

In this day and age talking about a life without medicines is ridiculous and can get u bashed up ..
Nevertheless i am going to muster all my guts and say This

Every "body" has the capacity of curing itself .. the drugs only tell the brain that u dont have a problem when u are sick and inturn help ur body to heal quickly. So u dont need drugs and can be the mediator urself.

So as usual i was presenting my theory to my thai friend and he said that he had this ugly infection that would show up on his face every now and then and and only applying a particular cream cured it. Well my two cents is he is is pissing his body by applying the cream. His body wants him to have this infection and i am sure for a right reason and he is going against its wishes and actually endangering himself. But like the billion other medical mongers in this planet he dont care a rats ass to what i think.

From when we were kids and T.V didnt occupy so much of our lives.

YouthFul Pride !
SO as usual i got to thinking about things around me and this time vegas had my brain churning

Oh yeah i was hanging out with gungadin and other homeboys this past weekend.

So u get down at the airport and u hear the slot machines crackling ....
u know its vegasss baby cuz they want ur money for every little time u have to spare.

i was surprised the stripclubs didnt have any slot machines or like butthead would say slut machines .. now that would be a redundant statement for butthead ..Ah now i realize why the dudes never made an entry into one of these clubs in their movie.

Ok as usual i side tracked .. but the point was that vegas wants ur money and it wants it bad.

Vegas also is strikingly obvious with the whole demographics of the cultural generations.
well in english that means that they dont discriminate on the basis of race, sex, age, culture ..
If anything works in timbuktoo u are bound to find it in vegas.

And this variety of choices has obviously brought in its share of segregation. U dont see the
oldies in mandalay bay or luxor .. and u dont see them college kids in MGM grand or the mirage.
U are mostlikely to run into europeans outside the casinos and them texans on the craps table.

One thing for sure u are bound to have a blast no matter how much money u have lost or won.
One advice though is not to try and accomplish everything at vegas. Its immpossible and churns ur stomach. if u wanted to gamble just do that, party then just party, watch shows then just watch shows and if u were only interested in sight seeing well then theres plenty of eye candy :)

Its time to Partaaayy!!

Finally the efforts of my chaddi dost seem to be paying off ..
Time to Rise and Shine Amore
Coincidences,

Can there be two elements naturally so born that they can have the exact existence.
Can there be two thoughts that are locally independent and conceptually corroborative

Can there be two fish born at different times in different oceans with no way of telling who is who

is it true that the forces of nature can no longer maintain a unique domain ?

MAMMAs and PAPPAS

where u come from , where u going ...
sit down in the shade and u will see all the mammas and the pappas
where they come from and where they are going

their burden will not take ur sun away
so be there relax and think back to the guilts of ur life
yeah those good old days when u were on hanging out of the bus

but it is not enough for u
u just dont want to put your finger on the borderline
u just dont want to sip away the spice of time

where u come from , where u going ...
sit down in the shade and u will see all the mammas and the pappas
where they come from and where they are going

what is it that wants to tempt u
take u away from thes willfull overbearances
how could this mean anything to me - u say

no no dont shy away from the yield sign
its meant to be and it will be there forever
just remember the agonies u left behind and respect the valor of the rhyme

where u come from , where u going ...
sit down in the shade and u will see all the mammas and the pappas
where they come from and where they are going

DIRT ROADS

What's mainly wrong with society today is that too many Dirt Roads have been paved.
There's not a problem in America today, crime, drugs, education, divorce, delinquency that wouldn't be remedied, if we just had more Dirt Roads, because Dirt Roads give character.
People that live at the end of Dirt Roads learn early on that life is a bumpy ride.That it can jar you right down to your teeth sometimes, but it's worth it, if at the end is home...a loving spouse, happy kids and a dog.
We wouldn't have near the trouble with our educational system if our kids got their exercise walking a Dirt Road with other kids, from whom they learn how to get along.
There was less crime in our streets before they were paved.Criminals didn't walk two dusty miles to rob or rape, if they knew they'd be welcomed by 5 barking dogs and a double barrel shotgun.And there were no drive by shootings.

Our values were better when our roads were worse!People did not worship their cars more than their kids, and motorists were more courteous, they didn't tailgate by riding the bumper or the guy in front would choke you with dust & bust your windshield with rocks.Dirt Roads taught patience.

Dirt Roads were environmentally friendly, you didn't hop in your car for a quart of milk you walked to the barn for your milk.
For your mail, you walked to the mail box.
What if it rained and the Dirt Road got washed out? That was the best part, then you stayed home and had some family time, roasted marshmallows and popped popcorn and pony rode on Daddy's shoulders and learned how to make prettier quilts than anybody.

At the end of Dirt Roads, you soon learned that bad words tasted like soap.
Most paved roads lead to trouble, Dirt Roads more likely lead to a fishing creek or a swimming hole.
At the end of a Dirt Road, the only time we even locked our car was in August, because if we didn't some neighbor would fill it with too much zucchini.
At the end of a Dirt Road, there was always extra springtime income, from when city dudes would get stuck, you'd have to hitch up a team and pull them out.
Usually you got a dollar...always you got a new friend...at the end of a Dirt Road!

the grudge

Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Terrified of being wrong. Ultimatum prison cell.

Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again.

Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end.
Saturn ascends, comes round again.
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten. Ignorant to the damage done.

TOOL

but from the firsto momento .. they kicked mega butt .. they just take u to a place u have not gone too.. oh all the alchohol and weed helps too but not a whole lot!
their visulas and stage performace combined with their unique sound just comes together like a mega orgasm .. whew i am still not able to get over it !!!

MIGRATION

everybody loves to migrate .. its their intherent nature .. especially birds. wonder why india is so poulated ?? here is my theory .. way way back people migrated and the loved it until they reached the penisula and now they were surrounded by water on three sides ..
they had two options turn back and explore and they did try but it felt like they were going back the way they came for a long time ..
now they had to make a decision wheher or not to explore any further .. ah and they decided to stay put .. this happened for centuries galore as more and more races and peoples migrated and finally settled in the peninsula. oh have to mention the nice climate the fertile land and the beautiful surroundings had a role in it.

In every humans lifespan there will be atime when his body will decide to do the rebel and will be beyond his control ..
the best symptom of this cause is a the air around his body will smell of a pale flavor the kind that is reminiscent of the undead, at this time no matter what, the body will dance to its tune and its tune alone

Survival

what is it that u need to do .. survive or live or live by surviving or never compromise on life even if it means death. i choose live by survining, for one i am not a a hard core right wing guy and do believe in gray areas.
and i do believe that compromises are justified as long as the vision is not altered. i am willing to eat non vegetarian food to survive untill i reach a vegetarian planet. as long as i have my path set out to achive my goal
of reaching the vegetarian planet i am justified in eating non vegetarian food. i iwll be making games as long as i see that i can survive without it and pursue my higher meaning to life ..today i cannot do that and i cannot say screw all that i have built and lead off into a new life defining direction!

its not deft tied to my conscience so why do i care .. if i can get a bunch of money out of my tax returns why dont i do it .. if i can go on a holiday and get paid for it why dont i do it .. why am i worried of my class .. i am not a classact anyways .. and moreover no one is watching me .. so why do i strap on to the seat belt in germany and go less than 60 miles an hr .. i am guaranteed that my neck would remain safe and go uncracked .. then why ???????????? do i have to freakin maintain my class

Getting Scripty I

This is a new series that i am gonna write about .. its basically a gist for movie script ideas ..heres the first in this series

The main dude is a cop and is happily married, his assistant a chick ( the heroine) is single and they know each other like their palm,
wife gets murdered by a serial killer .. he gets caught but there is not enuff proof to put him in jail, the cop our hero loses it and goes on a plan to get rid of all the serial killers in the country who are roaming free due to lack of evidence, his plan is simple he commits their crimes in exactly the same way they did before but makes sure to leave enuff evidence so they get caught. his justification being that they would anyway commit more crimes in the future so if takes one innocent life in the process of getting these guys behind bars then he is actually being moral. well the climax is how our lady his assistant finds something fishy and we have a showdown with the dude and the lady.

DEAD CALM

these are days the which i call dead calm .. the days when u have no disturbances around.
no one to trouble no one to take care of .. no work to be pressurised by .. no billys to pay
they are not around often but when they do show up they are a huge relief.

its like the first icy rain before the monsoons .. that takes the heat away .. ah the ice doesnt fall from day 2 however.

thats why i love the ice, everyone growing up in monsoon land always wishes to see the hail storm everyday .. but then it can never workout the way u want

ironic it is that one who wishes the hail sees a moment of DEAD CALM in them

PATH LESS TRAVELLED

Two brilliant friends are at a crossroads one day in india .. deciding the next step to take

No. 1 : i am going to an ivy league univ in the u.s i will take a loan and repay it later .. i am outta here
No. 2 : i think i will stay here and do research in agriscience in ahmedabad .. i am gonna take the harder road

years later as No. 1 attended one attended No. 2 's funeral one of the many innocent victims of the communal massacre, he couldnt help but reflect upon his life of absolute comfort and the choices he had to make to get there

Can u hear me MR. FROST ?

ENGLISH GAANA OF THE DAY

firstly my apologies for going underground !

take my riches away, take away even my fame
if u must take away , then take away my youth
but give me back my memories, memories of my childhood
that dirty boat of paper , sailing the rainfilled drain

the hoods most popular destination
where the grandma sat telling her stories
of lands and places, of saints and angels
their deeds of glory, their acts of wisom
even if u wanted u will never forget
those night time stories that heard for ever

gettin out of your house into the blazing sun
trying to catch those colorful butterflies
fighting and quarreling with the kids in the park
getting hurt to rest some and gettin hurt again
those scars on ur body that u can still see

makin sand castles out in the desert
and taking pleasure to destroy the others
going int odreams that have no meaning
a life with no boundaries , with no worry for tomorrow
oh what a beatiful way that was to live

take my riches away, take away even my fame
if u must take away , then take away my youth
but give me back my memories, memories of my childhood
that dirty boat of paper , sailing the rainfilled drain
