I am the Indian who has shook his head in dismay when he watches
mindless political rallies where people are assembled like cows
and subjected by meaningless speeches.
I am the Indian who looks at the election candidates and decides
not to vote because its the choices of lesser devil and if by
any chance a reasonable candidate exists will not win by influence
of number procured by undesirable candidates
I am the one who feels the ashamed when people like Kalamadi
bungle an international event,Konda,Raja and countless gobble millions
and the sheer number boggles my brain
I am the one who watches your reporters Karan Thapar whom he admired
and respected blatantly acting like government polemic spokesperson
grilling a respectable dedicated guy like Kejriwal whom in 2006 IBN itself had awarded
award of its own to the point of humiliation
I am the one who reads the way press try to misconstrue masses
by running news in bold like
"Food arrives in anna's rally"
"Anna ki Rasoi "
(which aren’t worthy mentioning in first place)
by using proxy messaging and claiming innocence and yet fulfilling
the responsibility of carrying government psyops
I am the one who watches the parliamentary proceedings and watched
unruly politician tore the Woman reservation Bill
I am the one who watched them wasting no time raising their own
salaries bill in no time
I am the one who feels angry when I pay my tax( or made to pay)
in time and If I ask for accountability from the people whom
I entrust with that money screw it over again and again
I just want to let you know I am angry, so even though if the
agitation may go out of proportion ,
For one moment, just for one moment I want the all powerful
politicians, the who's who, bureaucrat and intellects
feel the same frustration and helplessness that I have felt
for a long time

Back to Zot--(Dummy 2 mins to happiness)
If you are down,confused,angry,agitated etc
I have a quick-fix therapy works too well
for me.
Its called "Back to Zot"
Nothing esoteric,No Rocket science ...
Prereqs :
1) If its night Perfect other wise just imagine its night
2) Walk under the stars.
Imagine thousands years back by some cosmic conspiracy
"Life" as an amoeba -->Then a species developed who
was capable enough to think about him.
[HANG ON IT IS NOT BAD]
He got everything what he wanted to live food water air on earth.
But he wanted more .."advancement aka greed"(which is not bad as long as positive)
Then he started dividing and complicating things.
He made religions,languages then he made countries and worst of all
He made "money" and that too of different flavors.
Needless to say,It was way spiral from then ownwards.
We got into hobby of complicating things for sake of making things
better and comfortable.
Why..because frankly we didnt have anything else to do ?
Where would we get jobs for this massive population ?
Farming and Hunting wasnt enough..So come on lets complicate things..
These complicated things..Fair enough as long as they do
what they are supposed to do..
But incase they dont and they mess around your brain,
traumatizes you,torture you
Trust me all we need is just food,affection,a place to live
and ofcourse "Diet coke"..everything else is overrated .
Just dont chase anything in endless pursuit
because it will never mean happiness
you have just tried to procrastinate your happiness
attached with that .
And thank yourself you are conscious and
"you are alive " and there still
"So much to do "
and Punch in air and Move On

Vaccinator
So you got me down
yeah hurts a bit..
Okay lets be honest
a lot indeed
Got my knees buckled
knackered up real well
As I lie around whimpering
in pain
Yeah You got me ,
where you wanted me.
What was on menu today,
sadistic pleasures as appetizer
As you pander to your ego
with images of your vaccinator,
in my face
You hang around with smug
smile
But this is not hollow outcry
of the vanquished,
Dont fool yourself you were as hurt
as I am
But you are fixated with pain that
paralyzed your feelings
robbing your innocence
Leaving you numb and blind
And you want its echo
across mine
But I am stronger
I am better than you
So dont stick around for too long
as the smirk will disappear soon
Not porcelain vase as you imagined
a beggar's tattered blanket,I am
torn edges would be sewn together
stronger than before..
Like you,I had an emotional vaccine,
and I know when the fever will be gone
I will be strong again
And if that doesnt work,
I will crawl under the sky
and let the stars and moon
shower the divine rain
Healed,Rejuvenated,Resurrected
I will come back
But dont fancy a revenge
as it wont come
I would've already forgiven you
and already forgotten you.
I am breaking the chain here
why should you remember your
vaccinator anyway ?
yeah hurts a bit..

Brave
A calm sadness transcends my soul,
I sense some hidden sadness and loneliness ,
I don't know if it's mine or yours
You say you are fine,
And You are happy
But when you smile its jaded
And the sadness in your eyes
They tell me a different story
Maybe it's my own pain
echoing as yours
I hope it is..that way
But if it's yours, tell me
Tell me the truth
You can be brave another day

echoing as yours
I hope it is..that way
But if it's yours, tell me

Across the silhouette
Its always across the silhouette
That we decide
Figuring out who it could be..
Dances by the fire,
Angry Wolves taking the lunge,
Hapless sheep or would you say
Its tough to change shoes
It was Newton's 'Static friction'
But was I the sheep or the wolf
The smug smile has faded away
The acquired wisdom has withered apart
And alas, the realization is here
Sometime I was the Sheep
Sometime the wolf
Perhaps,the shore has been already bereft
Footprints of both will stay for a while
Prey and Predator changing the role
Its not fair the sheep learn t
but So has the wolf ,hasn't he
It just mattered which side of
"silhouette"
Have you been..

Slice of India
I think I am elligible to write blogs like this now.
I love my country but yet I choose to live in another
So here is the mockumentary of the events which unfolded
during my last trip back to motherland.
I love my country but yet I choose to live in another
So here is the mockumentary of the events which unfolded
during my last trip back to motherland.
- I was disappointed that we havent been divided properly.The archaic divide like
religion,regional,caste,creed,financial,political dont seem enough to suffice our massive population.We need to be also divided more on themes likes colgate,close-up or Dabur laal Dant manjan user,Reliance user or Tata-indicom user,Maruti 800 users and Non-Maruti 800 users,Rupa and VIP (wink) and so on.
- Irrespective of how many times I return back from from IG airport the cops think
I am carrying excess of alcohol or some contraband from Duty Free.(I wonder if Vijay Mallaya has been using a lookalike to promote Kingfisher Beer) . You can very well see his reaction. - I was really impressed as we are still able to identify the real issues .
For example,Teli samaaj(community) was able to identify that agitation against usage of word Teli in new movie Kaminey was more important than supporting Poor Gangu Teli's family who committed suicide because of drought situation.I mean some guy commiting suicide whats the Big Deal ?
- Apparently 25-35 years back aliens conducted a dangerous experiments on Indian females.These hapless ladies were secreatly impregnated with alien chromosomes (or
whatever ) and they had these special kids.All the females who were using videshi brands like Garnier and L'oreal gave birth to creative directors who envisioned "Reality " T.V shows and the ones using Desi Brands like Shilpa Charcha Bindi went on to be mothers of those who created "Talent-hunt" competitions
which explains flood of reality and talent hunt shows on Indian Television. - And guess what united the whole country ,"Rakhi Sawant Ka Swayamvar".
Kudos to this lady.We all love to hate and admonish her and it was surprising as we found that an alien conspiracy overshot NDTV imagine TRP rating because we all hated it unanimously.Who would watch it anyway ?
- A talent-hunt competition is being held to scout for F1 team from india and all auto rickshaw drivers are allowed to participate as FIA saw immense
potential in their maneuverability.Who knows or Pappu or Narasimhan might be popping champagne bottles. Felipe Massa criticized this competition saying it is unfair as Indian rickshaw drivers undergo rigorous training on Indian roads.
- Eli Roth(Director of Hostel) and James Waan(Director of
Saw)have been vying to sign Varun Gandhi for their movies after Quentitin Tarantino declared he is find of the decade after his fiery speech in Pilibhit.Rumor is that Inglourious Basterds will be remastered with Varun Gandhi replacing Lt. Aldo Raine which was previously played by Brad Pitt. Mr. Gandhi apparently asked Tarantino to shut-up after which Tarantino has been showing suicidal tendencies.
- In another new development apparently Sharon Stone seems to have hired top notch
lawyer Ram Jethmalani to fight Shiney Ahuja case. Sharon seemed pretty keen on signing Shiney Ahuja in Basic Insticts 3. Stone apparently said it Mr. Ahuja could have taught Mr. Douglas a few lessons.
- Another Indian making it big in international forum was RSS chief Pramod Muthalik, the firebrand crusader who
painstaking efforts in Managalore Pub incident has been widely appreciated in international circles. LeGoBaD International (Lets-Go-Back-to-Dark-Ages International), headed by Iranian Premier Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appreciated Mr. Muthalik's effort for continuosly spearheading efforts to strive to push modernization and liberalization back bring back Dark Ages back to world.Mr.Muthalik accepted the honor humbly and reaffirmed his commitment to bring Dark Ages to India.
- Baba Ramdev has been decided to be sent be as official candidate of India for the office of
United Nations Secretary-Genera after Shashi Tharoor. He has shown tremendous grasp of subjects be it matter of Politics,Medicine,Social awareness,Law,Entertainment,Fitness..list goes on. Baba ji seemed to have answer for everything be it swine flu,laws for acceptance of gay or even castigating reality shows. Now thats what we call Raam-BaaN .

Kaminey-- A treat to watch

Professionalism exudes in the acting,direction and screenplay of this brilliant movie
It lives up to its name in sense of its name.
Every character has defined affable instincts to charm the viewers,
Be it charismatic Drug lord Taashi, Cocaine addicted capricious Michail,Trigger happy Bong brothers,
real team corrupt cop duo and last not the least and probably the best Bhopay bhau (Amol Gupte),brain behind taare Zameen pe ,all Kudos to you Sir,Where were you hidden?
Whether is cajoling big eared nephew or his brash extrovert sister to menacing Charlie.He seems in control.
I loved the moment he barges in charlie's house and embarks in amusing diatribe with cocaine intoxicated Michail.
Undoubtedly,I am fan of Bhopay bhau like Bheeku Mhatre from Satya.
But I pray he doesnt get type casted.
Shahid kapoor shines across the movie
whether its the lisping Charlie or stuttering Guddu,he credibly diffrentiates in both the characters.
Priyanka Chopra is good too although i am not a big fan but she does commendable job as extrovert,brash Marathi Mulgi as she defends his hapless vulnerable lover either from cops or goons of his brother or cajoling him in candid moments .
Vishal bharadwaj rectified the mistake he did in Om kara ,he carried the tension of the movie to end .
First time I saw it I liked it but not like exceptionally brilliant but only when i saw it again i realized that its a movie to be enjoyed not as a story but
the remarkable moments it offers right from word go..
You will like it everytime you see it.
It is not the feel good types with perfect climax.
Amazing soundtrack :Kamninay Title track
and pehli baar both guaranteed to haunt you.
A Must watch.
