Being What I Always Wanted To Be.....

A cloudy Bangalore night. I see from my balcony... Chilling breezes brushing cheeks every now and then. A saturday night it is...probably that is the reason that few houses still have their TV screens blinking from their windows. Beer shops still drizzling with happy customers. Dogs guarding every corner of the area. A couple taking a moon walk hand-in-hand. A beautiful half-moon peeping at me right above. Clouds skating from left to right. Crickets giving their attendance. Frogs singing out loud. It seems its about to rain. Suddenly, I notice that few cars are drenched already. Has it rained already? But how long have I been standing here? It did not rain..did it? Was I so lost? No..no. The roads are still dry. It has not rained. I am in my senses. Ohh..I get it! Its the cherry on the night's cake...its the dew! Wowww... Feels heavenly. Wait a minute. Something smelling too good it seems. But in the middle of the night..who the hell is cooking at this hour? Well...maybe my bache...

The moment you join a junior school...people want to know what do you want to become. Since then till you become an independent person, they keep poking you with the same question. You might change your answer in different stages considering what is "cool" and what is not..but then you know your passion deep there..don't you? Most of the time it happens that you keep it inside you to wait for the time when you are "settled enough" to make it come true. But can you define your scale of settlement? Passion is something that needs a zeal to begin with. Then why do everyone (including me) want to pursue it in the last stages of our life. When everything else has given up then you are just surviving with your settlement trying to do what you could never do the rest of your life!!! You murder yourself daily by doing everything that was never in your plan. You kill your passion and stab it every damn day when you get yourself ass-kicked in that little cube of yo...

Horror, terror and unbelievable were the first thoughts that hit me when I came across this story. A place which is a paradise in scenic beauty is practising such ridiculous and heinous laws that I am still in a state of shock as to what logic is inspiring them to continue practising it and not bring any change in the system! The incident goes like this- There is a girl in Maldives whose stepfather is accused of raping her repeatedly for many years and now she bears his child. And the great Maldives court says that she must be punished for "Sex outside marriage" and she is gonna be whipped 100 times in public sometime soon. Mr. Waheed, president of Maldives is facing global pressure as I read in the news. But what is that pressure doing? Is it helping to change this unbelievably ridiculous system? Is it changing the law? Will she be spared? I guess not. It'll be a matter of shame probably for other citizens of Maldives and they might go for protests at the max...

Sometimes you have so much inside you that it gets too hard to stuff it inside. Now PLEASE do not tell me to "vent it out"! Coz trust me if thats how it cud have worked, this blog-post wouldn't have existed. Why does a problem has to be "defined" everytime for it to get solved? Why cannot someone keep their pseudo-smartness and socialism inside themselves and not brag in front of people who don't give a damn to it? Why is it that show-off is never out-seasoned? And most importantly...why does it all have to be in my baggage? I am someone who is very frank in displaying my likes and dislikes equally. But I do not know why people are always interested in discussing the least-interested things with me? I should manage probably. But why? And till when? Keep your "special" things to yourself buddy and let me keep mine. And certainly do not ask me the "whys" and "whats". The irritation gets unbearable when you even start ...

Dreams, there is something about them that makes us think. Even those kind of people for whom thinking is not their strength stop for a moment trying to understand what it meant. There was this bloke who wrote an entire book about interpreting dreams and its considered to be the most comprehensive study about dreams, I read a chapter or two of that book and then gave up (we will come back later as to why) and in recent times there was a pretty good movie about them which didn't stop at just a dream but went on about having dreams within a dream. Now what is it about dreams that keep us awake? What puzzles me is that why dreams need to be interpreted? Why they can't be just that - Dreams? In my culture there is this belief that if you dream about something during dawn it usually comes true (or do people believe this world over? I don't know). I read in the book I was talking about earlier that if some loved one dies in your dream it usually means that you want him/her to ...

Asshole-ism cannot be defined or measured. It is just a trait which I think quite easily found these days. I have had so much of it that I can categorise it now- The Ungrateful Ones- This is the rare sub-category where people forget who gave them that one push that they needed. They tend to show that it is all happening because of their own hardwork and talent and that they never needed anyone's help. They get so immersed in their delusion that they start taking the person who started it all as "invisible" and they ignore and choose to keep the poor guy "uninformed". They think they will achieve great heights with this and people will praise and bow down to their talent but they will soon meet someone on the way- "the truth"!     2.   The schizophrenic ones- The ones belonging to this category choose to act as idiots so that people can never blame them for their idiocity. They are born-idiots who have nothing inside their brains except b...

Ever wondered why you never get that ecstatic feeling even after putting your last drop of sweat to some work and completing it just on time? Its because you work amongst this poor, stinking, full-of-politics, ungrateful and unappreciative bunch of assholes who will take your life with that crooked smile and choking amount of work and then forget about it and tell you your "points of improvements" the next day!! Life is a bitch they say! True it seems. 'Cos once you enter IT industry...thats your life and that "life" is all about who is governing it and standing on your head! I don't understand a simple logic. Why can't someone be honest. Simple. One word. One powerful and respectful word. HONEST. Give the person exactly the amount back that he gave to your work. Be appreciative when he does something commendable. Be a guide when he is taking the wrong direction or lagging behind. Above all...be HONEST with what you want from him. Is it that di...
