helllo world test one two three testing testing

hello world how are you doing these days my friend from long ago these days my throat constricts with pride when i see you looking at me like that and also dont forget that now toilet paper can be bought for very cheap rates comparable to the rates in the years gone by





test what ever i have got to the point that all that i say sounds like bullshit to me and everyone else around me but i really cant say anything to them because my mind is a can of worms waiting to explode and scatter slimy worms in all directions like spaghetti fireworks.... youve seen spaeghetti fireworks havent you in my lifetime?



test whatever i have to the point where everything i do or say becomes hearsay and is unbelievably sti

hello my mother what are you worried about these days. The bird has flown the eagle has landed and we put a man on the moon. but you are still worried about your only child. pretty child through the night back to your hometown your home on the streets. What have i done to deserve this life after all are we not all created equal then in the eyes of god we are all his children they tell me
But then they also lie to me sometimes and say things that noone else wants to hear. This is the perfect way to get off to a rocky start to a relationship made in hell

and who wants to smoke grass anyways?not the birds not the bees then who is left on this planet to enjoy the worldly pleasures that the creator has gifted us. dont reject life choose death they say but dont listen for they are creatures so much in love with their life that they are blind to everything that stupid foolish people have to say about you

A Response to Sudhir Mishra ... Talking 'bout my Generation

This is my reaction to a tiny fragment of a loaded post by Sudhir Mishra on PassionforCinema.
I loved his post and it gave me plenty of material to chew on but the point I find interesting is the one he makes about the current generation and how "..they can live simultaneously with Ayn Rand and Bob Dylan and Fellini..these are all disparate people who actually hated one another and they had conflicting philosophies and therefore I don’t know if they have read Ayn Rand correctly"

As a somewhat close representative of the current generation(in my late 20s..does that count ?), I agree with him on the often superficial and pseudo-intellectual motives behind our pursuit of art,books, movies and music. Bur here's where I give my generation the benefit of doubt. It is often beneficial for the intellect to analyse two polar opposite thoughts and synthesize one's own opinion. Without this faculty of opinion synthesis,we tend to pass judgements based on one and only one side of the story. And we all know how far that is from fundamentalism.As Aristotle once said,"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

(Introspection moment: Am I a pseud for quoting Aristotle?)

As a personal example, I may read Chomsky and agree with his criticism of US foreign policy but have to come to terms with the fact that my job that provides disposable time and income, allowing the luxury of reading an Amazon-ordered Chomsky, is itself a result of corporate greed.

*Switch to right brain, with example more relevant to filmmaking*

Budding jazz musicians often transcribe and play recordings from the masters such as Coltrane or Monk (I had to throw some names around, didnt I? ). But over time, they may gradually develop a style of their own, which may be influenced from classic recordings in varying degrees. It may, at some point transcend "Coltrane-ness" or "Monk-ishness" and become their unique signature. At which point, enoughyears have passed by, so that another generation grows up copying this unique blend and goes on to generate another. And so the innovation torch gets passed from generation to generation. To expect this to happen rapidly, in a medium that transcends generations, is to ask too much. Time-consumimg phases of absorption, assimilation and reproduction cannot and should not be short circuited.

So yes, superficiality has always been a part of the "high culture" scene and it will always be.But it should not be used as an excuse to label an entire generation as lacking depth and originality.

"Oy chhotu, ek plate dal makhani aur ek plate tandoori chicken..fatafat!!!!"

I always thought that the roots of the American meat-eater's carnage lay in the anthropocentric nature of the Christian influence. Thou shalt not kill, was never applicable to animals was it? After all Yhweh himself asked for sacrifical offerings of lambs, bulls and rams !!

But I never realised that, there has always been a distinction between "Animals that deserve to be slaughtered" and "Animals whose slaughtering is inhumane "

From the Time Article:

Horsemeat is considered a delicacy for many foreign palates. But Americans raise horses for racing, work or companionship, and polls show a large majority of the public finds slaughtering them for a gourmet dinner to be repugnant. "It's one of the most inhumane, brutal and shady practices going on in the United States today," complains Republican Rep. John Sweeney, who sponsored the measure to ban the sale and transport of horses to the slaughterhouses.

That makes me curious about our desi hypocritical side dish often served with "non-veg food". So what does the desi junta think of the prevalent practice amongst some of us (Hindus at least), of salivating for our Butter chicken yet shying away from Beef, as the sinful meat ?

Do, we genuinely believe that Chickens are so stupid, they deserve to die ? Or are we blindly follow what our peers\parents\grandparents did ?

Maybe we start a beef (pun-jabi pasttime ?) and ban books that make references to Vedic cow slaughter.

In case i piss off anyone due to the seemingly high ground I take, Im a vegetarian by no choice. Was raised in a vegetarian family and never got used to eating meat ( tastes like rubber to me....yuck!!) . But I do kill spiders, flies, mosquitoes with the zeal of a crusader!!! :-)

Hinduism and Prison Violence.

Fellow right-winged Hindu hawks will be delighted to know that our ancient religion has spread its cultural influence on that cesspool of modern society: Prisons.
Is it a coincidence that the 2 of the names of Lethal 'Jugaad' Prison weapons seem eponymous with the Hindu Lord of Destruction ?
From Wikipedia:
Shiv
shiv is a slang term for a sharp or pointed implement used as an improvised knife-like weapon
Shank (Shank(er):One who Shanks )
A shank is a type of shiv that is fashioned from the metal shank of a prison-issued boot or shoe

Maybe the Indian army can do a better than a Prithvi vs. Ghauri Missile naming war. After all, the Pak Army can't get away with naming a missile "Muhammad" or "Allah", can it ?

hmm...Wonder if "Bum Bum Bhole" means anything in Prison !!
