WHATS WRONG WITH ORKUT!!!

RAMBLINGS..

I’ve always believed that this little space of mine would be to take my mind off things and that I could share the arbit non sense that goes on in my head for the world to see. I started it off with some general writing, and then I ran out of steam. Then my life started getting boring. Nothing worth posting on the blog. When there WAS something that I could post, I dilly dallied and now it’s lost its relevance… Many things like that… Many of my outings, the state level quiz I hosted, the many things that’s been happening in my life and stuff like that.

But what’s been disturbing me recently is, what’s going on with the country in general. From the god knows what 123 nuclear deal to the attacks on Christian establishments to the Tata’s pull out of Singur and the awful bomb blasts.

The Christian issue is what I’d like to put forth here.

In Karnataka, politics is at its worth. Our politicians here are the most dangerous scoundrels any administration has had the misfortune to see. The Hand and the Flower go head to head on ANY issue.

Here’s what happened. Some inflammatory articles claimed to be published by some new life thingy shows some of our gods in bad light. Like calling urvashi a prostitute and stuff like that. Now, I consider my religion equivalent to my mother. If anyone is misbehaving with your mother, will you sit back and think of human rights and secular and shit like that, and wait for ‘law’ to take ‘action’ or will you go ahead and beat the living daylights out of whoever is doing that?

Let me put it this way: There was a great deal of hullaboo created when police fired at violent farmer crowds at a village in Bihar recently. Their contention is that the farmers were innocent and that they were only ‘venting their ire’. If these farmers are ‘innocent’ according to some, then why on earth are some passionate individuals who vent their ire on an organization berating their religion considered communalists and shown in bad light?

The honorable opposition here in Karnataka are asking for organizations like the VHP and RSS to be banned. I say, when we have organizations like the Indian Mujahedeen and the SIMI to take care of, can we honestly be justified to be wasting time on silly issues like this?

Is the archbishop justified in speaking to the head of the state in that fashion?

One of the articles says ‘Rama could not distinguish between a real and golden deer. He who has no discretion cannot save you’. How will they react if we say ‘He, who could not even save his OWN life, cannot save yours too?’

Let’s face it… we’re a country run by sissies

Here are some ways we can get out of the mess our country is in:

# Get every politician who is above the age of 65 or has a educational qualification less than a master’s degree to retire, or put a bullet in his/her head.

# Bounce those misbehaving politicians out on their asses.

# for heaven’s sake, they’re not royalty. No need for traffic blocks when they’re moving about the city. They DON’T need a motorcade.

# chewing paan in the House must be banned. Madam President, are you listening?

# Line up all those ‘leaders’ who have criminal cases against them, ask them to quit, or send a bullet through their heads.

# likewise, line up all those criminals on death row, and put a bullet through their heads. Clemency can go to hell.

# All those officials caught taking bribe, line them up and put a bullet in their head. No, TWO bullets just to be sure.

# legalize prostitution like some countries, and get those police force who waste time on ‘flesh trade’ to catch terrorists and other dangerous criminals.

# Afzal Guru for example… Put a bullet in his head as soon as possible. And all the other terrorists the police have managed to catch.

Pretty harsh, yes, but its about time somebody did something!

Well.. these are some home remedies I got via mail.. I believe they'll b of use to everyone..
Do use these.. for a Blissful life...

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto. The blockage will be almost instantly removed.

2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

3. Avoid arguments with your partner about lifting the toilet seat by simply using the sink.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you will be afraid to cough.

7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget about the toothache.

8. Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

9. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

10. Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.

11. If you wake up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance.

12. Be really nice to your family and friends; you never know when you might need them to empty your bedpan.

13. The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

Philosophy, God and Destiny...

My take on philosophy is pretty simple... u can't make sense outta something... philosophise it...!

that's what my friend does, one day i asked him if there was rain when the gods piss... when is there snow?

his reply to that was pretty philosophical, he said (in a mystic tone) "child! there's a goddess up there who makes crappy thingies outta wool and she send it down as snow..." now why didn't I ever think of that?!?!?!

No wonder the ratio of sheep reared to woollen products produced never match....

but i still wonder what they mean when they say, " it was all written before we were born..."

THIS line troubles me a LOT! and when i say a lot... i mean a lot...


what do they imply?!?!?

that we are just puppets and that some mighty bearded fellow decides what we are to do??!?!

i sneeze... so that was written all long back too?
that god dude must be pretty jobless if he can control such minute things... or he must be billion sigma or something never to make any mistakes...!

personally... i think destiny is crap; there's no such thing called destiny, no matter what one does it was all ones own doing. Its the wimps who make up reasons like destiny for their failure, and if u blame your success on destiny, then you aren't giving yourself enough credit!

and the thing about god?
does he exist?
where is the mighty lord?
what does he do in his free time?
does he like Al Pacino?

such questions still bother me... and i think if i ever have to achieve nirvana and god-knows-what-not! to get answers to these questions... I'd rather give it a rest and finish my assignments on time... more of a worthwhile exercise...


and that's that.

Nose rings and general blah blah bitching....

WOW! its been a really long time since i've been here and maan i'm like totally clueless abt wats going on! anyway...i guess i need to keep y'all reminded that i'm alive and awake. 

Well its nearly a month since my b'day... it was one of the most amazing birthdays i've ever had.... i got a new fastrack watch (courtesy my sis hating me old one), a calvin and hobbes collection,a bracelet and a chain and the cutest cellphone toy ever! (But that fell apart a week later and lets leave it at that) and a BLUEBERRY  CHEESECAKE as a b'day cake (PICS comin soon ;) ) and of course...an amazing dinner at pizza hut with the entire staff singing happy b'day (well that was a bit embarassing but nice nevertheless)

So my life's been pretty irritating recently with me not having time for almost anything exccept studying,writing records...blah blah blah...i'm somehow trying to find time to do the stuff i really wanna do like listen to music or just chill in my room.

Arthi started working recently so me seeing a lot less of her and i'm starting to miss her like hell :( 

and arjun too! its been soooo long since we last talked... 

I got a nose ring yesterday...mom threw a fit thinking i'd actually pierced my nose. Had to calm her down and convince her that i haven't got my nose pierced......YET......................................... ;)

Anyways....heres the most recent updates-

1)I got a nose ring

2)Might be getting my ears pierced soon

3)i sOOOOOOOOOOO want a tattoo!

Oh and before i go....who the hell is lavanya? (new author)

Dream on a SleeplesS NighT

You never know how the best things in life can throw your life over. Like sipping coffee in a coffee house or like watching a movie. How you had never imagined yourself doing something because you thought it’s lame or impractical and you end up doing just the same. It’s wonderful how the next step you’ll take can just leave you clueless about yourself. And you can’t do anything about it and that’s the worst part.

How childish is falling for a movie star? And not just falling falling, but falling so hard that you don’t know what hit you or what you’ve hit. And it’s so whimsical that you can’t do anything about it neither it’s possible to get out of it.

I know it because it has happened with me. My big mistake… watching Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na (JTYJN).

You’d have guessed who I’m in love with. And for the dumbasses who didn’t, its Genelia D’souza.
Laugh all you can but I’m clueless about what I’m doing here you know. I’ve had crazy fits about actresses before also. Okay well, I’ve had sophisticated fits about actresses before too. But this is completely out of the world. In its literal sense. How’d you explain me having her wallpapers on my cell phone? Both the screens (Nokia 6131… I’ve to get a new one though. its in ruins…).I‘ve always thought of putting a celebrity wallpaper on one’s cell phone as lame. And I’ve actually taken all the pains to get wallpapers from internet to my laptop. And believe me, I’m very lazy.
Anyways the point is that I’ve fallen or if you want to call it a crush, I’ve a huge uncontrollable crush on Genelia. And the worst part is that she has no idea. Well I know it’s nothing new for her. But it’s new for me. And a huge thing on top of that. I mean, how often does that happen. With me? Never.

So now the state is that I’m flipping TV channels to find videos featuring her. Shuffling the radio channels just to listen to JTYJN’s songs. I mean it’s weird. I know you know. But I don’t know how to get out of it.

I mean let’s face it. I’d never be able to meet her let aside the prospect of anything else. She is a movie star. A MOVIE STAR for god’s sake. What the hell was I thinking?

Well nothing at all. It just happened. And worst part is that I can’t do anything about it. I’m not at all famous; I have passable looks and no money at all. What good am I. I should’ve had a lot of money, should’ve born next door to Genelia. Ah... whims at its best. I’m letting out a secret. I wouldn’t have been able to ask her out even then. Damn it..! I’m of no use.

I know I’m a grown up and I don’t drink milk out of a bottle, though I like to eat milk powder out of the box every now and then. Anyways its very amusing you know. Sometimes being whimsical isn’t very bad. Here it’s sweet. I don’t know if I’d ever be able to get out of it but every time I think about getting out of it one thought flashes across my mind’s darkness. Can’t “Mast (Aftab & Urmila)” and Notting Hill (Hugh & Julia) be possible in real life?

I wish I had a magic wand. Hell if my wishes are coming true. I wish my wishes about Genelia come true.

Anyways… a precautionary measure to be taken by all of you: “Don’t be an ass and never fall for a movie start. And even if you do, wish that it’ll be somebody not as beautiful, as pretty, as cute, as awesome, as charming, as amazing and as unforgettable as Genelia.”

And yeah... pray for me... I’ve only got one life……

The lone rose

The single rose

stood in its field

watching the sky turn dark

she had served her use

when she was alive

but now her time had passed

She felt her energy

dwindling

as her petals

let go of their smell

her leaves went limp

and she could hardly tell

light from dark

The lone rose

stood in her field

watching the world

go dark

she had tried to smile

through death

but now her time had passed

The start of a zillion problems

Okay...we've all heard about arjun's famous vodafone rhapsody but have you heard about the not so famous aishwarya's start of a zillion problems?

 I guessed not.

Anyways...as some of y'all know, i'm an airCel subscriber. Yes i know that'll invoke a lot of blank looks thats cuz aircel is only in TN...its called spice telecom in all other places and it has to be the worst network in the history of bad networks... So heres the start of a zillion problems.

9 p.m:I'm happily chatting away to one of my best friends and she gets ready to tell me a piece of totally juicy gossip and all off a sudden.

Click.

The line goes dead.

The balance notification comes up... I just lost 4 bucks talking to her. No big. 

Then she calls back. "Hey Aish what...." She never gets to finish the sentence. Last call duration:4 seconds. Errm...okay then. I call her again. 

"Sorry bout that,the line got cut...so tell me!" i say eagerly. "Yeah you won't believe this but...." 

Three short omnious beeps.

"Hello? Hello?" I look at my phone. The black butterfly wallpaper stares back at me. Grrr...

Okay i call back. "Archie..Archie are you there?" I say after i hear a hello. All of a sudden a male voice begins talking about his road trip to chandigarh(with "tashan" style englees) and i get totally freaked out and cut the call.

%@#$#%#$#@#@ (that was me hurling abuses shortly after i dropped my phone in surprise cause it suddenly freaking vibrated in my ear)

"Archie are you talking to somebody else?" I say after the male voice stops. "Aish" she says. "Yes?" 

"I freaking told you i'm alone at home!"

Cross talk! **%*$$**%*$

So i cut the call and call her back again and finally..we manage to talk for about 9 minutes after which the call gets cut again. The balance notification thing pops up again and apparently i've lost (approx)7 rupees of my balance (it might be more or less... I don't really remember people)

"Hey boi, u gotta text message" my phone omniously sings. (Don't ask) and apparently archie got fed up of the poor network and she decides to head to sleep.

O.M.F.G.(THATs not in a good way)

So i head off to sleep too. Next morning my sis calls customer care(shes an aircel victim too) and asks why the network is so poor. She puts the phone on speaker so i can hear and i have never heard a lamer explanation.

He mumbles something about two towers' signals interfering with each other and suddenly the line gets cut...AGAIN..

I make a trip to the aircel office and the guy ends up mumbling something abt him being responsible only for recharges and something about hellotunes.

So i did what every other aircel victim would do in times of difficulty.

I switched to airtel

Thanks

Beautiful girl

Hey Beautiful girl
Don’t eat that much
Hey beautiful girl
You’ll never be good enough

Don’t think I don’t know
Where all the food you eat goes
Hey beautiful girl
You’re so stupid
To your beliefs
Stay rooted

Hey beautiful girl
Don’t be such a bitch
Be careful girl
Don’t get too deep into the mix

Beautiful girl
Who do you think you’re fooling
Beautiful girl can’t you see its not working
Those voices will always tell you
That you’re not good enough

Beautiful girl
Step out of your shell
Your beautiful inside out
And you know it well

I’ll dry your eyes
I’ll wipe your tears away
Just give me your hand
And have the faith
That I can make you feel okay
I can’t bear to see you suffer
I understand your mental torture

I know about that strong self hate
You hold in your heart for everyone to see
I understand how you feel
Every time you see
Fattening pizzas
And calorie-crammed ice cream sundaes

So stop trying to be
A  fashion magazine imitation
You should honor yourself
For being god’s best creation

Beautiful girl
Hold my hand
Together we’ll find
A reality that’s a lot less cold

Forget those other girls
Forget about them
You’re better than them
It doesn’t matter what they say
All that matters
Is how you feel and the way you think

Ignore those voices
Break free
From the chains they bind you with

Your beautiful as you are
I promise thee
That I’ll always be there
And when you think everyone hates you
Just remember that I care

Beautiful girl
Take my hand
You’ll be just fine
I’ll spend with you
All my time
Just to make sure
That you’re all right
