The high ride to Independence-and Freedom

It is true that cynicism does not help much,but is the single independence to rule our own roost worth celebrating at all when all around we see a society full of prejudices and chauvinism? Independence does not characterize India-we Indians do.If at all there is a more realistic concept of independence-its at the individual level.If at all the phenomenon called freedom exists,it exists at the personal level-and at the risk of being branded another worthless cynic,i think there are but a few of us who can assure their conscience of their objectiveness in opinions.There are but a few of us who are independent of their mindset,their nepotism,their chauvinism,even to some extent, in daily matters.The problem is essentially universal,and,even if i'm on a high,right now i strongly doubt the very worthiness of the word freedom.The concept might have various sensible implications,agreed,but right now the foundation seems to be a big utter void.I again affirm that this outburst has nothing to do with India-it is something which touches some straits of our persona across borders and against upbringing.And if this really is the case, is it not time we changed our perceptions,bit by bit?

How I would have loved to shread this post,bit by bit,no less...but would rather conclude as the great man himself did .Whether he shared my cynicism or not in the following lines is your take-

"...into that heaven of freedom,my Father,let my country awake..."

Amen.

misty skies

love watching up at the misty skies
as the drops fall n soak me
feels like your embrace
and that i can be myself again

this one i found while browsing the net today:

The rain drops seem so pure
in a world largely fake
the ambience intoxicating
water seeping through clothes soaked the soul
but still the feeling of being lonely surmounted me,
gradually taking over my desires, dreams n rationality,
i wish i could get out of it ...
eyes were blurred, legs got heavier,
i heard screams "come back" and whispers "i'll come along",
yet couldn't gather enough courage to look back and beileve in u, again
i lingered on endlessly through the darkness hoping for an out stretched arm
holding my palm tightly with eyes reflecting a silent promise,
lets get drenched together in this rain n forever....

there were no tears...those were raindrops that ran down my face.

did you know they had a US coupling?

exempli gratia :-




some things are better left as the originals..be it most of the remixes that come bundled in with the popular songs in the same movie,or the UK Coupling!
btw,how come we never hear of the UK Friends or British Seinfield??
Of course,we Indians are gracious enough not to even acknowledge the original when we rip a show off it.i mean,why offend anyone,right?

p.s : the above post just goes to show a fellow can write about any and every single bit of nonsensical reflection that wanders to his mind when he has not slept for two days straight..hehe..adieu world..ah! my dear (bed),here i come!

sweet dreams folks(that do not involve scenes from the US coupling 'course)!

summers cool this season!

long time since i returned to my favourite haunt..despite the meaningless summers .. lol
coupling rocks..despite the thin line of fire-the man-woman relationship, it sets out to explore,there's a very fine balance between puns and generalisations..the show is indeed drafted superbly!

back with more later.

not any more Mr.Thackrey !

Mr.Bal Thackrey,the leader of the Shiv Sena,vented his feelings once again for the maratha spirit.more of this shit here.

It is indeed pathetic and disgusting to hear such mindless nonsense from the people who are supposed to run the country on behalf of its masses. does Bal Thackrey have the power to hold his great maratha flag high if his state stops feeding on the funds and general development plan of the Indian Government?is Maharashtra so self-dependent?if not,what right does it have to be so self-obsessed?Maharashta,as it is,generates much more media hype than it truly deserves due to the hindi film industry and Mumbai being the financial capital.it is true that Bihar and UP are not so developed,but can Thackrey claim that his state's development is solely due to the native maharshtrians?or can Delhites claim that they developed their zone on their own?if yes,maybe they have the right to vent their dissatisfaction on the "spoiling" of their native soil.but as we all know,that is far from true.if the Biharis and UP "crass" people sweated it out to make mumbai and delhi the shining spectacles they are today(and probably they have more a contribution in this than the natives themselves),they have every right to settle there and enjoy the fruits of their labour.Developed centres are the way the modern world operates.Sovereignity is the founding pillar on which a certain country called India is based on,which,if Thackrey and a bunchful of"elite" Mumbaikars and Delhiites realise,gives Maharashtra,Delhi and Mumbai its identity.and wait,has someone read about a certain time some thousand years back when Patliputra,out there in the east, used to be the centre of all trade,learning and aristocracy?didnt people from all over the country used to flock over there then?hell,even foreigners paid regular visits.Tell me Mr.Thackrey,is it any different for Mumbai today than it was for Magadh at that time in those socio-political conditions?Or better to leave it,it is too much to ask of your mental maturity.all this started with Modi giving slogans of "Mera Gujarat" and other stuff.What bigger shame if the sons of this very country start giving wind to such blatant nonsense and not even realise their crassness! Regionalism can be used as a two-edged sword-it can be used to instigate one's passion for development,or it can used to spread kiddish fist-fights like these.The second ,if it continues this way undeterred,will lead us to a situation with the Chinese,Pakistanis and other competitors having the last laugh.The people need to be more aware of such people before repeatedly electing them as their representatives.It is indeed a shame.
