Gone in 60 seconds ..

I was lying on my bed and was about to sleep .. ' why cant I just relax and for a few minutes and think simply nothing - this was the first thought ..and then they ( thoughts ) kept popping one after another, one of them was to compile the same. So Here it is ..an excerpt , cleverly edited to exclude the stuffs which of course .. should not go public :)

In just 60 seconds this is how my mind tortures me ..

'Never ask a man if he is from Sparta: If he were, he would have let you know such an important fact - and if he were not,you could hurt his feelings' ... nice thought but why is it important not to hurt people , why do we have to be good ,why cant we simply follow our instincts and act, why cant we BE what we ARE .. BTW , do we even know what we are .. OR what we want .. people often contradict themselves.

. . . .

Isn't the age old saying - ' Man can achieve whatever he wants ' a bit overrated , arbitrary and maybe a little senseless .You cannot achieve things just because you want them and you are overly enthusiastic about the same. Get practical and don't screw your life..there are limitations for everyone, everywhere. Authentic ( pragmatic ) thinking makes more sense than an arbitrary Positive thinking.

. . . .

..Fan speed sucks .. I wish my regulator could rotate infinitely in clockwise direction.Perhaps we need an air conditioning ..maybe next year. Weather sucks ..Gurgaon sucks it is the land of dust.. Everything su...

. . . .

What do these people in government do .. cant they solve small basic day to day problems of a common man and keep them happy and contended ... of course along with their all sorts of illegitimate businesses ( I don't Question.. ).. now what is happening in Bihar ( regarding the floods ) .. are they doing enough. It seems the brightest ideas are only with the opposition party in a democratic system . SAD !

. . . .

..My bike needs a servicing ..maybe this weekend ..why the hell am I sooo lazzzy?

. . . .

For Leibniz, God's mind included an infinity of possible worlds, of which he selected just one.These nonselected worlds are the worlds of possibilities .. hmm.. I could have done so many things differently in past .. no regrets, but its amazing to think of infinite possibilities for which if opted, I would have been different with respect to my career, relationships .. but I guess its fine, I am still in my twenties .. got a lot of life ahead !

. . . .

It was overwhelming to read about this auto rickshaw driver who voluntarily took a man stabbed some 5-7 times to a hospital late in the night and all he charged was the legitimate auto fare.. he was later awarded with a 50k from Delhi government and a taxi with a licence and future ownership of the same! Good Job! ( both for the driver and the govt.)

. . . .

Am I too sensitive? If yes , is there anything wrong with it ..If no , should I be ? BTW who decides what is right and what is wrong?

. . . .

.. now this is the serious problem with a ceiling fan.. makes a lot of noise.

. . . .

Why am I so uncomfortable, whenever in my comfort zone .. Why do I get this feeling of something being wrong,when things apparently appear okay .. emptiness kills .. maybe I love challenges .. haan that sounds cool ! Love is a beautiful word but definitely over burdened with multiple usages.. I love my parents .. I love my school .. love my new shoes .. love my job .. my pen .. bike ..weather ..your eyes .. your looks .. lets make love .. and last but not the least ( one would agree ) I Love You ! I am not much into language and literature ..but I wonder why we have just one word in everyday usage for all possible kinds of love. Just look at the word Hate with soo many synonyms in general usage - abhor, detest, loathe, despise and may be abominate, execrate at times . Aah .. I love hate !!

Maybe I should sleep ..its already late.

Rang de Basanti

Its never late to comment on something like rang de basanti .. I wish I was into blogging when I first saw the movie.Clearly RDB ( as fans call it.. HUH !! ) is not a movie which one can afford to miss ..go rent a pirated DVD to watch this masterpiece, if u haven't seen it yet, just to see and realise the extent to which our movie makers can go irrational , illogical perhaps plain stupid with their scripts.

What intrigues me is fact that most of the people around me liked it .. naah..they Loved it. They said the movie should have gone for the Oscars as India's official entry ..I tell you , It would have been utter Embarrassment.I never saw 'paheli' but I am sure RDB would have simply outdone 'paheli' in every possible department on an international platform ( If u get what I mean! ).

The Movie

Everything .. everything in the movie was beyond my comprehension.For instance just think of the concept - Kill the Defence minister ( why not prime minister ... or may be just blow away the entire Parliament they aren't doing great either ) because a friend of yours crashed with his jet and then voluntarily commit a group suicide.At this point I would seriously choose to avoid commenting on how a rookie like aamir in his character could possibly shoot a person ( defence minister taking a stroll on the side-walk.. I guess he had a heavy spicy breakfast or sth so he chooses to walk alone without security ..you know to avoid an embarrassment ..just in case ;) from a speeding motorcycle.Perhaps it was the inspiration from the movie they just acted in.I still wonder , how did they make the entire movie (looked like a big budget extravaganza to me ), when all ..creator cum director cum producer cum cinematographer cum ..( okay I need to stop ! ) the firangi lady ( suu/shu/shoe whatever ) had was a tiny handy cam and no money ( plz recall the start where she was rejected everything by her bosses ). BTW.... Did you ever wonder why .. why at all would a person 'think' in a language which he/she could not even speak properly.Sue did that in the entire movie..It did not amuse me .. I went MAD !!

Just when I thought that perhaps ..I was being over critical and the movie had a point ,as the boys were young full of josh and may be .. may be (remotely possible though ) they could have considered killing the Defence Minister in the heat of the moment, This Happened. Siddharth Narayan ( the quietest among the lot ..) decides on killing his father !! Whoa Whoa.. Heights of Insanity.Did he have enough reasons or was he .... forget it, why am I questioning ?

My only regret was from the fact the list of survivors had the Soha Ali Khan's character because she clearly used the bunch of idiots to take her revenge.. in fact if u recall she was the one who came up with the idea - ' maar dalo '

Aamir

I saw 'fanaa' and the trauma I had undergone during the movie and then later is inexplicable.Dreaded terrorist decides to take a long holiday and stay in a house right in the middle of a very very important mission of his life just because the weather was not good outside, when the inmates clearly had no problems in making rounds shopping !! Excellent .. that was not all , later when the weather got better in fact sunny, he rather chose to play chess with his father-in-law in the outdoors.. well done !! I never expected that from Aamir .. I mean I never question Shahrukh .. he has got the official license but Aamir ? What concerns me the most is the kind of MESSAGE a movie like 'rang de basanti' has put across.But then we are all human.

Cheers !!

Why ?

Okay , here I start .. I created this blog some one and a half years back. Reason ?? Simple because many of my friends did and I thought that was cool ! But I guess the reason was not good enough, I needed something to fill up the space and register my presence as a blogger.. and I seriously didn't know what to write , secondly I didn't know if I could actually write ? So for next 1.5 yrs .. I chose to forget about this. Not that things have changed ,I still don't have a definite agenda and am indeed pathetic when it comes to writing ( you will soon find out ) its just that today ..I simply Don't Care !! I am doing this just for myself,to vent out opinions which people apparently are not ready to listen in their face,things which bothers me and makes me uncomfortable,myriad topics for which I hold strong opinions.That's all ;)
