In the name of god

The documentary we saw today "In the name of god" by anand patwardhan about the Ayodhya issue was unsettling disturbing and very heart wrenching.The following is my personal analysis of the whole documentary.
Firstly what struck me was how superficial the knowldge of these so called religious leaders was.Their arguments regarding it being the ram jamn bhumi were not not satisfying,logically and chronologicaly!!They inturn were supported by dedicated supporters who were iffy about the facts themselves!!The whole brouhaha was actually baseless and it was something which was totally based on assumptions.The hindus said that Barbar plundered and took their land,there "holy" land and constructed the masjid there,however they did not really see how shallow and almost rash they were in aping him!!But this wasnt it,the real problem started when political parties started endorsing either of the stands.This religious movement,like all others went to the dogs when it got a political connotation.The leaders used the bovine thinking of the public to their betterment,and people supported their favourites in order to prove their loyalty!The pro hindu side had its various sub-groups..the youth wing(rss,bajrang dal),the political wing(bjp) and the religious wing VHP.
The irony however was in the fact that the most civilised ones in this entire ordeal were the poor backward classes.Some of them were aloof of the enrire issue,others wanted peace to be restored while the others who were slightly more opiniated supported either of the sides.But their basic story was the same.......the worst affected no matter what religion they belonged to or what side was winning.the religious leaders,epitomes of stubborness,irrational and narrow thinking stuck tp their sides,resisting any and every oppurtunity of coming to a progressive and peaceful compromise.It is funny to see how easily these religious leaders supported these acts of barbarism with non existant religious facts.How easily they twisted and manupilated the truth to suit themselves.......and suddenly wrong was the new wright!!!!
To quote the pujari of the ram mandir......the religious leaders of the VHP were corrupt men,drapped in saffron playing a gimmick.The shocking truth was that educated men supported the staunch almost inhuman ways of these people.The documentary made me believe that religion has now become a brand,which is endorsed buy riots,political figures who dont shy away from making obscene comments about the religious beliefs of others.Its religion Vs love,religion Vs peace,religion Vs tolerance where as it should be a blend of all of these.Its surprising to see how something i never gave importance to,something which was always a secondary part of my identity can become my whole world!!Its incidents like these,which actually put up a question......is india secular only on paper??All the fancy jargon which we live by of "hindu-muslim" being "bhai bhai" actually does not even exist?If hindism is anti "moh-maya" then why do we ignore the fact that these relious leaders are the ones "living the good life",supporting a groundless cause???
In a land where everything works,its so easy manupilate the truth and champion your will!!!These men are like crabs when one wants to do the wright,the others drag him down.Old grudges and past laurels,these are the two main factors of this entire issue.....we cant let go of the past,we fight for it,kill for it and never in this course think about the ramifications of our actions......There is no win win situation in this case.Somebody wins at the cost of someone elses life.At the end i would just like to aks a question.....if winning isnt everything then why do we keep count????

Been where?Done what?

Today was a sad day,that's in a nutshell.Leaving your city.....FINALLY,and all the hassle with it ,is sad ,though you always wanted to do that.You leave behind alot,and take very few along......cause you have to make room for new things and the hassle they bring along.Its a wonder how we all "know" whats it is going to be like when something would happen.Like before it rains,we already "know"........everything would look different,smell different,but when it actually rains its nothing like you had in mind..........and that's when you realize......."I didn't quite know I would fee like THAT".We're no Einsteins......and we're not too experienced,we never are.Its that hollow feeling i get every time i wonder I'm not going to be "home".....its a little unsettling too.....its almost funny,as i kid i would've laughed if someone said "You're not going home for months"........and now i know.....what they mean when they say "I miss home" OR "I miss you!".Its that feeling like a knot in your heart......or your heart tied in chains......only less goth and grotesque.
In retrospect.......i have left so many people behind me,I mean my 3rd standard class-mate was SO special to me cause she helped me cheat.....or my kindergarten best pal was my world cause we had the best places to hide when it came to hide and seek.......or the new girl in the 8th standard who called me her best friend just cause i helped her catching up in the Geography class.....where are all these people,I HAVE NO IDEA.Its amazing how you just move on....like reading a book you go from chapter to chapter,page to page looking for something new,something better,something.......something else!!!!You have your favourite chapters.....with the twists and the turns and you always remember them,even though it was about the good guy dying.Someone else's heartbreak becomes your favourite song,funny the way it is!!
And yes,I'm 19 now.......and for some reason i now realise how important it is to celebrate your own birthday,I always thought it wasn't a big deal cause it comes every year and that birthday parties were a charade(you have to invite people you don't even want to).But now i think they're right,if you think about it you are never going to be 19 again.......you are going to get older and life, more complicated so its a celebration of the twisted life ahead and of the simpler life that went with the previous years...........SO REJOICE!!BE MERRY!!
I also forgave someone........yes my first encounter with forgiveness.......me accepting something as illogical as "forgiveness" was quite a fiat.See its your perception that matters,when you have a grudge its like this invisible anvil yer carrying...AND its heavy.So if you want to live and live well.....forgive the ones who did wrong not cause that's what saints do.......but for the simple reason that an ass would never know how dim he is,for an ass he's like anyone else.If you're smart enough you would cut the poor animal some slack......AND FORGIVE HIM!On a more serious note.......if you want to read the next chapter in the book of your life and if you want the end to be good.......forgive the treacherous bad guy,he's not as bright as you!And believe me,you would finally be able to say......That?Oh that was a long time back!!!!Its all about satisfaction,because happiness is a by-product,don't run after it,its elusive........its like one of those sci-fi whodunits.......when you think you know what the bad guys want.....but in the end its a TOTAL shock!
In the end all i would want to say is that its not a fairy tale we live in,where logic dies a tragic death......and fantasies have a field day,its life, its not a bitch or unfair or fair or beautiful.....or maybe its all of it,so stop putting yer life in a box with a big label on it,it doesn't need one,its like an unfinished journal..where bad things can also happen to good people and evil can behead the good and go to Hard Rock cafe and celebrate........so just live it,leave the typecasting to others........who would do it with pleasure once you're dead!

psst-And yes.....you can love your life if you want,that's totally legitimate!

Things that make you go...Hmmmmm?

OK Tu Bole Main Boloon......rings a bell???hells bells!!!!OFCOURSE IT DOES!!Rehman pulled of a jazz/blues song,how could you miss THAT!!!Anyway,the lyrics are just delcious........like a royal piece o brownie dripping with chocolate.........BUT HEY,watch out for the nuts!!YEP!There is an equally good song(er,EPIC song actually.............to some!)"Hello Goodbye" by(fan fare,drum roll.....and a glorious DU-UH)THE BEATLES!Well the point of all this useless typing is to give you the proofs and then.....STRIKE!Well the lyrics are akin.........very much the same,well the feel to the songs are similar if you just read the lyrics,obviously one has snazzy sax work,the other is well signature Beatles.......... i guess the director of JTYJN,Abbas Tyrewaala could be a BIG fan of the song or maybe not...............who knows,jaane tu ya jaane na.........er,as the song goes ;)







psst-I'm guessing the words you're looking for are "hmmmmm weird" or "wow shes so right on the money!!!" or "i worship her"

Old just gets hotter!

Well this is like an ancient controversy but its a controversy nonetheless.It seemed The Beatles had penchant for lifting stuff from Chuck Berry's songs.and this wasn't the only instance.However,"Come Together" went on to be come a smash number,and how!!This blues rock number even though claimed to be "closely resembling",Berry's You can't Catch Me.........is undoubtedly a revolutionary song,from the drums,to the vocals and even the backing vocals,the song has a sexy edge to it.Rolling Stone ranked "Come Together" at #202 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.It was also covered by Aerosmith,one on the best covers of all times,though one of the worst movies ever(Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band)WHATTA BUMMER!!!
The lyrics have always been a hot topic of discussion amongst Beatles enthusiasts,ranging from a junkies number to a song with random gibberish to a song about the four Beatles!!At the end of the day it was a campaign song for Timothy Leary,who was dear friend of Lennon.In a playboy interview Lennon said""The thing was created in the studio. It's gobbledygook. 'Come Together' was an expression that Tim Leary had come up with for (perhaps for the governorship of California against Reagan), and he asked me to write a campaign song. I tried and I tried, but I couldn't come up with one. But I came up with this, 'Come Together,' which would've been no good to him - you couldn't have a campaign song like that, right?"
The signature slow bassy sound of the song was McCartney's work.Ringo came up with this signature muffled drum sound by wrapping towels around his snares and toms,genius i say!!!And how could we possibly sideline the eerie almost incomprehensible sound that Lennon makes which sounds like "shoot" but actually is "shoot me ",the "me" is drowned my McCartney's bass!
So amongst all the incoherent references,riff lifting controversy,this is one hot song........the song i hope they play when people go to heaven,but I'm guessing George and John wouldn't really do justice to the song all by themselves,it takes four to make The Beatles ;)









psst-3 videos sure can rock the hell outta anyone!

Songs that make me go green (with envy)

OK this a song by the uber cool Mr Mraz.Now we all know Jason for the cool acoustic stuff he usually pulls off.His videos are never larger than life or anything,......which kinna does justice to his music otherwise they would've seemed a little kitch,dont you think?Anyway this one right here Make It Mine,has more of the bluesy swagger,with the sax very smartly used,not making it totally jazzy yet giving it another dimension......on some instances making it sound like a perfect lounge number.Mraz has a great voice and the harmony in the song is the perfect example o that.The lyrics have been a Mraz forte and this song has some real good bits especially"I keep my life on a heavy rotation
Requesting that it's lifting you up, up, up and away
And over to a table at the gratitude cafe
And I am finally there,
And all the angels they'll be singing
"I love this."................well at the end i will quote a wise lady........"Mraz is smoking hot";)





psst-Someone take me to Cafe Gratitude.........and get me a Visa,and a private jet,yeah that'll be all!

The Three Gorgons(Past,present and the future)


Future.........something which probably makes half the things in our life actually happen!Its a wonder how we always glorify our past and romanticize our future but always sideline our present.The greed for a better future is something hard to give up,we probably would never get out of our beds if there was no "future" waiting to be created by US!But then putting your present on the back burner is that right?Have we started taking our present for granted?Or did we always do that and probably never realised till the word "hindsight" came into existence?AH, questions questions and some more of them,I have been wondering alot and i still don't get tired of it.You know those cliches of life is so short or life is a bitch well do make sense,besides the fact that life is more of a tramp than bitch.No seriously life is short,before you even know,your FUTURE is already your PAST!!!think about it,it happens every single day,even now,but we all are SO use to it and we live so peacefully with this fact that all we know is how to make up for a fucked up past is our future.It is a wonder how we let things go by right in front of us and only realise later,so many times........it aches and its horrible to feel ,well er,.............LIKE AN ASS!!Hhahahhaahh,and funnier is the fact how we feel "indebted" to the one who made us realise all those thing.
Sometimes I wonder,do we only value those things which are in our past?Is regret for the past greater than hope for the future?Its a tricky question ain't it,scary too,cause we all have plans,which probably brighten our day and well make us feel that things are taking shape,or that the future isn't a total stranger to us............a sweet acquaintance maybe!So, what if something has no place in your past but sure has a plum place in your future,will you,are you willing to give it the same weightage?Because no matter how much of a daredevil streak we have,the insurance companies are making money cause of people like you and me!!!We are scared,aren't we?Well there shouldn't me any shame in saying yes to that,anticipation is not a felony,it might just save a life!!!I have always tried to do the impossible(which has nothing to do with the t-shirt quote-trying to slam a revolving door!!!), to have a future with the best of my past or present.............present well ,cause when you're thinking of the future, the present is already GONE!!SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!I however do give up very soon,and decide to live in the moment,know what I want right now,cause I'm HERE not THERE.........and that makes me the king of my world!I don't know about life but the present sure is my bitch!!!And i meant it in the best possible way(if there is one).So for me, people who go like "love you always"OR "hate you till the day i die" at the drop of a hat,are actually sweet ol foolish people,who very soon are going to break hearts..........m counting theirs too!!!Because my friends always is LOOOOOOOOOONG,forever is LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGER(cause it has an extra letter,i guess)so when you say it the other person DOES believe it,and if doesn't work out you get a bad name.Flying and soaring is fine,its fun building up stuff........but seriously do me one big favour,how many times have you said forever or always and actually done that.I'm sure alot of of times you did it,but not every single time?Or well I'm sure there are those too who hardly do it,and yet cant get enough of saying the blessed words!!!!!
I'm not the wind of change and I'm not here to make a point,I'm not even telling you all to think about what i just said(like I can stop that from happening!!)I'm just trying to say that its always better to hang on to something credible,like wouldn't you prefer QuickFix over glue(we're not talking bout playing people,serious talk here please!!)Its always better to know what you HAVE before you yearn for what you don't!So,today just do this little thing,go kiss your doormat.................AAAAAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA.oh man!!!!!That was a long laugh!What i meant is,go kiss someone whose THERE with you,cause the ones who aren't might never be!But then i can't stop you from hoping,now can i?I just mean to say that don't forget to look around from time to time and love what you HAVE,and if there is new stuff coming,hell we can always make room ,right?I guess being a little human nowadays is pansy behaviors,giving a shit that's the real McCoy eh!??!!Fine then I like pansy.........BITE ME!!


PSST-someone very young and wise,someone ME once said-if tomorrow is another yesterday I prefer today!Sigh,somethings last forever ,cause I'm HERE and I still stand by that.
