Goodbye 2005

The year 2005, a great year, a very fine year, and a very successful year of my life. This was a year full of achievements, the achievements which I am proud of. All my tactical moves and decisions brought me good results. Gods have been very merciful and stood by me with many of my bold and blunt decisions. A year, I took many calculated risks and a year, when I didn’t waste my time in doing anything I didn’t want to. A year which, I will never forget because of its aura, its color, its splendor. A year of incredibly good results and a year full of vigor. (touch wood)

Good bye 2005 and welcome 2006. May this New Year bring peace and prosperity to my family, friends and my loved ones.

Where we are?

As humans, we have certain responsibilities on this planet. We are one of the most advance and intelligent race, which also give us the title of super race on this planet. If we all work towards the development of mankind, without getting involved in religious frenzy, there is a lot more which can be achieved.

People should not get involved with non-sense issues. Instead they should utilize that time in developing new methods, techniques etc. to help the mankind.

Any kind of fundamentalism should be outlawed. The punishments should be more severe, kids should be in better hands rather than in the hands of irresponsible parents. Education should rely on science and historical facts rather than fiction and fictional philosophies. ( … and on and on …I will add on to this when I have more time :-P)
…… Something like this I am going to say once I get elected in the office as the Governor of NY :-)

A Proud Canadian Moment.

“Days like yesterday make me a very proud Canadian” This a journalist friend of mine told me while he called me at work today from "k"anada.
Being that I am a very strong believer in equal rights, I am a huge advocate of the same-sex marriage bill anywhere across the globe and the one, that has been hotly debated there in Canadian parliament for close to two years. Yesterday, the House of Commons in Canada voted to pass the bill allowing same-sex couples to legally wed all across Canada, not just in certain provinces, as it currently stands. The bill still has to be passed and signed by the senators, but it looks as though, by the end of July, Canada will officially be the third country in the world to legalize gay marriage!
Fucking, eh.....

Review: Life of Pi

No other book has antagonized me as my latest read, the book by Yann Martell, Life of Pi. While I was reading it, it was hard to put the book down. When I was listening to it’s CDs in my car, I would sit in for a few extra minutes just to know, what is about to happen next. But from the day one, I didn’t like the book and I could tell, I do not like what I am reading/listening but I kept on listening to it and reading it.

Now yesterday, when I finally finished the book, I felt like screaming on and kicking and slapping the author. I feel cheated. I feel like this author cheated me big time. The end is ridiculous. The only thing, I like about it is that I was not able to put down this book. But I know, I read this book in camouflage.

Now, it comes to recommending the book. I would say, NO. Do not read it. Its been more than 24 hours since I finished the book but I still am having heartache because of it. I am angry. Honestly, I don’t recall if I have been ever angry after reading a fiction book, but this time I am.

somehow somewhere!

Hmmmm, last time I said, I am considering almost everything as personal .. so just to break the ice, here I am posting the letter, the one I wrote to my "first and perhaps the only love of my life" "AS IS" except the name.


Happy Birthday ***,

As we grow old we become wiser and older years are the best years of someone's life. You are supposed to be more mature, and now definitely qualify for the mighty wise fraternity of full adult people. I am not saying, past years were bad or something, but yeah we cherished/used those years and now time to move on and enter in the sane world. Well, hypothetically!

Anyway, I hope you are happy and still think about me once in a while. I do think about you. Frankly, I never really stopped. There are hardly any days when somehow somewhere in my mind, conscienceless or unconsciously you don't come in my thoughts. I am amazed by this, but don't know what it is, and what to call it and what to make out of it. There are so many things I want to talk about. There are so many things I want to tell. There are millions of questions I want to ask you. But, I don't know where I stand with all this. Do I even have right to tell you everything or even ask you everything. Sometimes, I wonder about it.

I hope you are achieving, whatever you have thrived for. And you are in between the people who love you and care about you.

I am so glad that you wrote to me on and I am feeling like you celebrated your Birthday with me. I don't know why, but now I am in both joyous and sad mood at the same time. No idea why .....

Anyway ***, I wish you all the best and bestest of wishes.

Yours,
Me

I will appreciate if no questions are asked about any of the contents of this letter.
PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, OFF TO TAKE A WALK!!!!!!!!!!

Hobnobbing!

Hello everyone, I'm sorry *not* I've not written much, actually make it “haven’t written at all” recently but I've been appallingly busy with several things. There are quite a lot of you reading this now and I do appreciate the comments and emails I receive off readers, so please bear with me if I seem to disappear from time to time.

And the not so good thing is, I still have nothing to write or say except that I have been really busy. Now, most of you would be wondering about this and must be thinking, what the heck is this dude’s problem, who doesn’t work a minute over his 35 hours a week schedule. How could he be busy. But honestly, trust me, I am.

Alright, the ones who are convinced about me being busy would say, alright, busy doing what? … HAH.Good question, is all I can say.

This is summer, and summer in New York is very short lived. Oh! and it comes once a year for a few months , so I try to live each and every moment of it, and that is what I have been doing, spending time with the people I love, walking, running, sitting admiring nature, feeding ducks (haven’t done it so far this summer), talk to fishes (yah we do that, me and a few of us), sleep with my windows open, whoring slutting as usual and so on.

I have been waiting for this summer for a long time, as in the last summer, I couldn’t do much for so many reasons. Although I did a whole bunch of stuff, but this year I am planning on doing 10 times more than I usually do. Therefore, if my postings are not on regular intervals, please forgive me. (the bona fide version of me would say, “deal with it”)

There, is one more reason, I haven’t been writing much lately. As time goes on, I am being more and more lucid about what to write and what not to write. And what I do and why I do. It’s a fact I don’t like to talk about my personal life, well not just with anyone, let leave it to the whole wide world. That’s because I believe, it’s “personal” for a reason.

Sorry, not trying to be coy here, just being honest. So, that leaves a lot of stuff out, and lately whatever I have been doing, I consider it as personal. I think.

But, I definitely need to redefine the word “personal”. I need to redefine personal for real, beacuse with this speed; soon I won’t have anything to write up here. That means, everything is gonna end up in my secret diary which would be made public after a few hundred years as I do intend to live a looong looong life :-)

I have so many things to write about. A lot has happened since I wrote in here, but the reason there was no blog entry from me was that I didn’t have time.
Usually to write here, I get plenty of time and I look for something interesting which has happened so that I can write about it. But lately that hasn’t been the case. I have been so busy recently I was hardly home and it made me impossible to have a few moments of peace so that I can sit relax and write my blog:

I would hate to not mention about my last few action-packed weeks, but then it would require a lot of time on my behalf to write, which I refuse to do so. So I am doing a little briefing.

Fighting with your friends about who should pay and who shouldn’t is kindda a normal thing, but have you ever imagined fighting with a lady double of your size because she refused to take money from you and instead took the money from your friend .. LOL yah that would be one and only oglie booglie “olga” .. (I am so going to tell about this event in detail, but not today. It happened on some rest area when we were coming back from Woodbury Commons)
“Fountain day” – This was the 6th fountain day in a row which I attended at SUNY, and this year I was not even supposed to, but I did anyway. It felt great to jump into the water like good old days, with my girls and guys of course :-P - (pictures to be followed)

Oh! And think about this -- ring ring -- ring ring – liz calling – ring ring – you pick up the phone and say HELLO, and u hear the “sobbing” and then “hi hunniieeeee, *sobbing* I cut my fingure and I lost my job” --- you'd say WHAT? .. more sobbing and then again, just like that old record .. “Sukrit, I cut my finger and I was bleeding, and there were people in the line and I still tried to help *SOB* and they fired me” and at that stage sobbing turned into crying … HAHAHA ooops, sorry, I think that was kindda funny … yah I would have written more but time constraint and ya know, to respect liz’s privacy and other crap I am ending it up right here :=P

Aight other “very short briefings”
- Visited Aunt, and honestly had great time :-P .. she was.. umm amazingly different.
- Making the Shmuck come over and go shopping with the gang
- Making all the non-hindi speakers listen to so called “Hindi-Crap” (in their words)
- Casino with the gang, actually I should say with the MEN, cuz she refuses to be called a girl … YAH, go figure who that would be.
- Taking pictures of “them & us” while .. ummm, I shouldn’t say, HAHAHA (well, I will post them here and you can see by yourselves .. so pics to be followed, I think!)
- Sleepovers, haha
- Bars, bars, bars and more bars.
- Getting drunk outside and inside the bars
- Getting MORE drunk, and losing the way back home, HAHAHA, yeah, for the first time in my life.
- Got high again, umm, yep, don’t ask where and when and with whom.
- OH AND other stuff .. LOLOL .. umm yah not mentioning cuz you know the rules :-P

So yeah, when I m bored at home in near future, I am going to put a little more light on these events (again, no promises) .. ..

I am Going to THE City tomorrow, wohoooo, will report back after I come back, untill then, "Jai Ram Ji Ki"

Shuffle!

"iPod shuffle"; yeah, what an invention! It's like, we have never heard of anything like this before. No media player/real player/any other player was able to perform this shuffling function before. Give me a break!

It’s amazing how an intelligent company can come up with the dumb ideas. (well, in this case it’s brilliant because public bought the idea, which isn’t even original” … humans! what can we say!)

I remember having a CD walkman with the shuffle feature about 10 years ago. But God, seriously, this hyped up item is proving the insanity of my race (human race? :-P ).

The way this item is being advertised on TV commercials, makes me laugh, and I didn’t hear anyone, literally anyone, saying that this is not a new concept.

But oh well, I also got this item, NOT because I was swayed away by the advertisements or anything, only because it is a very sleek item and can hold about 250 of my favorite songs and with this WONDERFUL shuffling feature :-D

A Quote I found.....says it all

"Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost."

I don't know who wrote this, but I liked it so very much that this quote found a place in my blog .. lol .. but serioulsy, it is the best someone can explain in so few words. *applauds*

I am listening to Tina Turner's "I am a private dancer...I dance for money" haha, I am a big fan for her and her songs these days. Oh and BACKSTREET BOYS are back. That is what .. ummm i don't remember who, but a semi-friend told me yesterday. They are about to release a new Album after a gap of 5+? years ... woohoooo

Have you noticed all random things today I am writing about? :-P :-)))))))))

Shame on Canadian Justice System!

Ehhh.., Nothing much to write today as I am not in a good mood today. To be specific, I am a little angry. This is definitely a Black Day for Canadian Justice System. Shame on Canadian Justice System for letting the killers of 329 people walk free. Shame on the entire Sikh community for celebrating the acquittal of the mass murderers. It was indeed a black day for the humanity. Let’s just hope Gods punish these killers and I bet they will and the humanity will have a last laugh. I am being a little optimistic here, eh? Yah, that’s all I can hope for at the moment.

Shame on Bush’s administration for denying the Visa to Chief Minister Modi. And the reasons cited for the denial are rubbish. This means any nation can deny Visa to Bush by quoting the war on Iraq.

And in Cricket, stoooopid retarded BLIND Buckner once again gave Sachin OUT when the ball missed the bat by INCHES. Buckner should be fired and ICC should hire some neutral umpires, who can see and not biased.

Which city was built in one day?

Rome was not built in one day (or so they say). Come to think of it, why Rome. I mean, any great city took years and years to build. So why the hell Rome!?...And for that matter, who the hell are "they"? “They” always have a lot to say yet we have no idea who “they” are... anyhow, I am getting off the subject here...

What about New York City, London, New Delhi .. or even Albany. For heaven’s sake, these so called intellectuals should stop citing these stupid and senseless phrases. I would recommend we change that Rome to “Any City”. Do you have a better idea?

At Work!

At work, to a question of mine, which was “What is the purpose of my life?” I got the response: “To make others feel superior!” ….. God dammit! I disagree!!!!!!! I totally disagree. I dunno maybe this being was riteeeee, but there is no fooking way I am gonna make “that” the fooking purpose of my life … grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Anyway, yah so after second thought and third thought and a few more thoughts, I kind of realize why I would get that kind of answer from people.

Oh well, what the hell! So what if that is the purpose of my life? I am happy the way I am and moreover, “I am the way I Am and I will always be” … :-)))))))))) yah bite me :-P

So yah, I had a kick ass weekend, not gonna tell what I did or who I did or whatever :--) Lets just say that I was a happy camper, howzz that? :--)

And it’s Monday, I am totally sober, and surprisingly had a great day at work (bUzy) (BuZY). Went out for a walk with the gang, had lunch at that Thai restaurant, later made coffee in the staff room, HATED it, so threw it in the sink and got latte instead from my favorite coffee shop :--)

---Now that’s work.

The Name!

I wanted to share this story with the people I know, and a few of you already know about it, but this is the first time I am mentioning it up in one of my writings.

Let me ask you this, Do anyone of you had difficulty telling your name to someone when you were a kid? I don’t think so, but in my case it was a different story.

I was about 7 years old when we moved to our newly built house in New Delhi. I vaguely remember visiting the house when it was being built. I also remember asking my dad to build a walk-in closet (we call it store in India) in my room.

Anyway, that is not what I am going to tell you about. Yah, so I was like 7. We just moved in to this new house, my mum dad and dunno who else were still taking boxes and boxes inside, and during that time, the prince aka “I” declared that he is hungry. My dad said, no problem. He went out, and there was a lady standing in front of the house next to ours. He exchanged greetings like he knew her for loooong loooong time, maybe they knew each other cuz my dad did spend a little over a year in building that house, so God knows! And next thing, I know she invited me in for food, yeah!!! Don’t ask!

While, I was in there all by myself with her and she asked me the obvious question. “What is your name?”

Oh my my my!!! Believe it or not, what I am going to tell you now is something so weird but true..

I was like, what is my name, hmmm let’s see. In school teachers call me “Kamal”, cuz my grand father gave me that name and neither my mum nor I ever liked that name, so that is a NO NO. One of my aunts would call me Monu but that is the only one who used to call me Monu, so nah that cannot be my name. One of my Dad’s friends would call me Vikki/Vicky, AGAIN, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. I dunno why, but people would call me with different names for some VERY SOLID ODD reason (I think I might wanna do some research on this one at some point)

Anyway, back to the lady. And then I thought about saying Shalley, cuz that is what my mum calls me. And then I was like NO FUCKING WAY, my mum calls me that, so there is no way, I would let this lady call me Shalley (I guess I was unclear about the concept of having the name, or why we have names and stuff)

And the Irony is, at that time, I had no Idea that my legal name would be Sukrit, so there was no way of me knowing that, and telling her that name to end this agony.

Well, it’s not over yet. To make a poor 7 years old more confused (trust me, it can’t get worse), my Dad would never call me twice with the same name. He would call me, Beta, Bitti, Bitto, , Shaan, Son ETC. ETC. ETC. (he still does that) .. and god knows what else, and honestly speaking, I still don’t know with what name he addresses me most.

So, there I was poor me! trying to answer one of the MOST difficult question of my life. Even though, half of the people in my family do call me Shalley, but I wouldn’t let this lady call me that, cuz it’s what my mum calls me!! Go Figure!!!!!.

So, after doing some calculations, manipulations and other thinking, I opened my mouth. I swear to God, I dunno why and how, but this four letter word came out from my mouth. And that was “RAJU”. And then for next 10 years this Raju was the most popular kid of the block, the menace, the devil, the charmer, the player, who was the favourite of all his friends mums and who was the biggest flirt till the date he lived in that neighborhood.

There are many more stories about this name business of mine to tell, like the kids would ring the door bell on the next day “when I invented this new name for myself” and would say to my mum , Is Raju here?, and then my mum would say RAJU WHO.., alas!, she had no idea at that time that at one point of her mighty son’s life time, this Raju name will overtake all his other given names.

And now, if I think about how many people call me Raju, Even though in the States no one calls me Raju, but that still stand strongly around 25%. Yeah!. That many people still know me by that name and call me Raju. It is closely followed by Sukrit and Shalley with 20-25% each and then Shaan a distant 4th.

So, this is the story about my names!!! And Shakespeare once very wisely said “What’s in a name”. I guess he was right!!!!!!

Holy Cow

I just finished reading this book called “holy cow: an Indian adventure”. Why did I pick this book? Well, a few months ago someone at the library suggested it and as I tend to not go for suggested reads, I totally ignored that suggestion. But last week, I happened to find this book in front of me, and the cover caught my attention. I picked up the book because of the unique color of the cover. Then I saw the picture of Lord Shiva on the main page wearing sunglasses and looking stunningly modern. And there I was flip flopping with the pages and instantly made up my mind to read the book.

If I say I liked this book because it didn’t do India’s bashing, wouldn’t be a lie. Although, I do not agree with the author on a lot of occasions but I still want to give her the credit for trying to project a realistic image of the different cultures, foods, people and stuff.

Anyway, yeah a good read and a very well crafted book highlighting the beauty of the varied land. It would very much feel like you are reading a fiction book, so yah go ahead and pick it up when you get chance 

Alright, I have nuttin else to talk about, so that would be it.

Tuesday, March 01, 2005

ughhh!

It’s really depressing over here, I saw tears even in B****’s eyes. I was trying to be tough and strong, but I can’t take it anymore. So, I am going to vent. And this time, I am mad at Gods or whoever is up there, down there or somewhere controlling our lives or may be just something ….

Life is not a piece of cake and death is a truth, but still untimely death of people antagonizes me and tells me that it is so not fair.

I am angry at those who end their own life without even considering the agony they would be causing to their near and dear ones. When, I heard of Holly’s death, it made me sad and I was shaken. I actually still think about her and the hug she gave me a week before she ended her life. I didn’t really know her or know anything about her, but she was someone I knew for a while from friends, clubs and .. hugs. If knowing someone just this little bit can have this much of impact on me, and then I can see how much pain her death might have caused to her close friends and family members ….

RIP Rich – 2.28.05
RIP Holly – 2.14.05


To prevent suicide please look out for your friends and near and dear ones:
• You don't have to be a trained professional to help a young person experiencing suicidal thoughts.
• Take all suicide threats seriously.
• You can help by offering emotional and practical support, by listening and by helping to link the person with professional help.

Anything & Anything

I don’t know anything about anything and something about that anything I am going to write about. Now, the question is, how am I going to write anything about something I have no idea what that is.

It is really interesting and might be a little amusing that I am trying to achieve something by not having any target. But, I do have the motive. I am trying to write something and what better purpose one can have other than this.

Now, I can’t even say “let’s come to the point”, because there is no point. It’s so funny right now, as in a usual scenario when there is no point; nothing can and should be said there. But here I am trying to rattle about something which doesn’t even exist. I am laughing at myself for trying to be a smart ass, and I don’t think I should carry on anymore.

Aren’t I witty? :--)

FUCK!

My fascination for the “F” world escorted me to do the research about the origin of this word. HAHA, I know I am being pathetic, but hey, honesty is the best policy, I wanted to find it out so I worked on it.

Anyhow, I looked into library catalog and cruised through a few books to find the information. I intentionally didn’t look over the Internet, because I wanted to do a real scholarly re-search.

Surprisingly, I was able to find this information in more than a few books. Now, let me put some light on my findings:

Source 1 stated: The origin was in the fifteenth century, when a married couple had to have permission from the king to procreate. “Fornication Under Consent of the King” .. ugghh…, not so interesting.

According to Source2: During the time of the Puritans, a person imprisoned in the stocks would have his/her crime displayed on the timbers. Because space was tight, when adultery was involved they used the acronym F.U.C.K, which represented the words “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” . .. haha, I love this one :--)

Another source said that when a British soldier reported sick and found to have VD, the abbreviation FUCK was stamped on his document, short for “Found Under Carnal Knowledge” … lovely, this is a good one indeed!

One source said, (AND BTW this is my favorite one), a farmer would use his thumb to dibble or in other words “fuck” the soil to make a hole into which he then dropped a sead! SPLENDID, and after that I was pleased with my findings.

Classic, isn’t it? :--) …So, who out there can spell this four letter word?

Jobs!

I stand by this statement of mine without having any intentions to change those who believe that that schoolings and certain professions makes a wise man. Although I do think they are being ridiculous.

“Our jobs are important, but they don’t have to define us!”

Jobs are what we need, they do not represent us but we represent jobs! Alright, that is what I believe in. My work/job neither defines me nor represents me. That doesn’t mean that I don’t like my job or the profession I am in. I like what I am doing and I think I can spare 35 hrs per week for something which is going to take care of me financially for the rest of my life without really tormenting me for those 35 hrs ... or something like that.

I am just going to end this right now by telling you my dream job. You know, if it was in my hands and practically possible, I would like to be a bartender in a bar where I can serve drinks to the hotties in my tighty whites (NOT BEFORE SUMMER, as I cannot imagine walking nude or semi nude without my much awaited six packs). Crazy, isn’t it? But true, that is what I wanna do :--) Think about it, me as a bartender :--) AWESOME!

Yah Yah, I dunno what I am thinking, but I wanted truth to be heard, so there it is!!!!!!!

Monday, February 07, 2005

I have been thinking lately. Am I a Democrat or am I a republican or a communist or some other shit like green, peace etc.? I am none of these I mean, duh!! I hate Republican Party even though I do stand by most of their issues but something about them is so WRONG which makes me a NON-Republican. Republicans and all other parties have such contradicting views on some issues; it makes almost next to impossible about who you can support entirely and whole heartedly.

Capital Punishment:

I support death penalty. I mean, how someone could oppose death penalty. For someone who has taken another human being’s life, raped an innocent girl/boy stole someone’s life-savings and then that someone had a heart attack and died (hypothetically speaking).
Don’t you think the persons responsible for above stated crimes deserve death? If you ask me, I think these people deserve more than just a peaceful death. I mean, again, I wouldn’t like to see these low-lives to have a calm and peaceful life in a prison, where they have all the privileges to read the newspapers & books watch TV, do physical exercises etc. All these people deserve DEATH. Again, not a peaceful one. I would like them to be tortured for what they did. Their fingers should be chopped, like one finger each day or one each week or something along those lines. And when all 20 fingers are gone, they can be shot and later buried/cremated/fed to hawks according to their “faith” (which I wonder what it would be).
So, yeah, I support death penalty.

Now do not give me the crap of what if that person is wrongfully convicted. I totally am up for a 100% fair trial and in case of a slightest of doubt; I wouldn’t like capital punishment to be imposed. I would be the last person on earth who would like to see a wrong person convicted. When I say death, I mean it for the real culprit.


Points to Republican Party for supporting it: 23.2
Points to Democartic Part for opposing it: -2.98

(But yeah A person has right to live and we have no right to take away another life)


Wars on Terror:

Let me ask this to the people who are being the messiah of peace and against wars on terror. Why there shouldn’t be war on terror? There logic would be for the sake of peace. Right? Well, then where were these peace lovers when people were being killed in those countries by the dictators and semi-Nazi policy oriented people? Did they come out and participated in rallies with huge banners and signs to condemn the atrocities done to the innocent people in those countries? How many of them ever wondered about the life of a common man in these nations which are being ruled by psychopaths.

Why USA shouldn’t have attacked Afghanistan? I think all these peace lovers should have been thankful that USA didn’t NUKE that country. I think after what they did on 9-11, I wouldn’t have minded if USA would have wiped out that country from the globe.

Iraq war? Yes! The Rascal aka George W. Bush’s decision to go to war without the support of its western allies and the United Nation was WRONG. Not just wrong but it was very retarded of him to go to war all by himself and without making sure that all his allies support him on this issue. I am sure they would have supported Bush, if his strategy was right. But guys! We are talking about the retarded man who would get beaten up in jeopardy against a zoo monkey. So let’s not go there.

But, yeah, why we shouldn’t have attacked Iraq and save the innocent people from the Hawkish dictator who has been on a spree in killing his own people for years now. USA is the solo superpower and it’s the duty of a superpower to make sure world is living in peace and harmony. So any war for a good cause is appreciable, be it an Iraq war or war against Chechen rebels.

Points to Republican Party for going to the wars: 20
Points to Democartic party for opposing/supporting/whining…. Even I don’t know what their stance is: 1.5

But again, we have freedom of speech and freedom to protest. I know for the sake of attention, people would go to the extent of opposing anything (Freedom to people to make sure their views are heard, and I support that)


Abortions:

Why there is even a debate over this? Are we humans are unethical to this extent that we need to talk about issues like this? No one should abort a fetus, and that is the bottom line for the sake of humanity.

I understand some medical problems may deem it necessary to bring about aborting a fetus. I can deal with that. Other than that, I have gone absolutely insane on the points of personal responsibility. There are plenty of forms of birth control and we’ve all heard and understood that. I feel that in order to come to a feasible compromise, there needs to be some ‘way out there’ conclusions.

The people who are getting pregnant like every month and then getting the fetus aborted are the murderers in my opinion. I know mistakes happen so if it is a genuine mistake, I might give them option to kill the kid before he/she was even born, but COMEON. Where are our ethics? And it was your fucking mistake, not the unborn baby’s was it? We have no right to kill the unborn child. You made a mistake, now deal with it and do something to convert that mistake into something beautiful and move on.

When I say something beautiful, I mean things like toughing out a birthing process…and if you decide you can’t care for the child in your present conditions, you have options. That child would most likely be taken care of through adoption and go to a very capable family, and quickly. Or maybe by the time you have the kid, you might have a change a heart.

Yeah, sorry, I’m a softy when it comes to a pious LIFE. This shit should never happen because it “puts restrictions on the human spirit”. I know life isn’t raining rose petals and growing gum drops. On the other hand, if I give in, there becomes no sense of balance and everything spins into chaos. And besides, we all know it’s wrong.

Republican Party: 14.9
Democratic Part : - 5.5

(And yeah, it’s our body and there is no soul (another argument) as we haven’t seen it. Aborting a fetus is less inhumane than killing of millions of chickens, cows and fishes everyday. So I guess people can do whatever they want to do, as the fetus cannot stand for itself and fight. So kudos to aborters* and again it’s a free world)


Marriage:

Marriages!!! What is the definition of a marriage? And what exactly is a marriage?

In my opinion anyone who is not related to each other and living under one roof, sharing their life under some arrangement with the certain someone is a form of marriage. This requires commitment, compromise, understanding and respect for each other. And that is a perfect marriage in my opinion. No matter they are men, women or one man and one woman or whatever.

We have freedom to follow the religion we have faith in. We have freedom to declare ourselves Atheist. We have freedom to leave our home, our parents, our kids behind if we want to. No one can stop us for doing that. There is no law against this.

Human beings do have freedom to “legally marry “someone from opposite sex. Yeah WTF! Opposite sex? Yeah when a man can marry a woman and vice versa legally, then what is wrong in giving a legal status to the marriage between two persons of same sex, who love each other and already eternally married to each other? If a man and a woman can marry then what is making these morons to oppose a union of a same sex couple? What in the hell is so wrong about it? Nothing is being taken away from a common man by permitting gay/bi/lesbians to marry the partner of their choice. The parties, groups, religions or anyone who cannot understand this basic concept of equal right do not have any right to talk about any kind of principles. Because opposing equal rights automatically takes away their integrity.

Again, overall I do not support any form of marriage (it's just a label). I think marriages are imposed on us by the society and don’t take me wrong, I know, it used to be a very successful form to unite the society and keep the system, law and order under control. But now these days this school of marriage is such a failure. I think I would be the first person to support an overall BAN on marriages. People have made mockery of this marriage thingy.

Do I need to remind the people and so called republicans who oppose gay marriages citing morality, about the Brittany Spears Saga? What a shame, no one said even a single word about that during the elections. Where the fuck was Bush when that happened? Why didn’t he panicked and came out to say something against that. Or does his church allows people to get married for few hours get some name and fame and then get it null n void?

Why he didn’t condemn it? (OH Sex-Offenders @ Churches was something which was in news for last many years: Why George W Bush didn’t mention even once about this issue? NOT EVEN ONCE. Where were the republican flag holders when he didn’t mention that at all in his speeches?)

Let’s come back to the validity of a legal marriage. I know at least 3 couples who got married only for one reason. They figured out that after getting married they can file a joint tax return and that will save them thousands of dollar every tax year. WTF?

I know many more people personally, who got married for wrong reasons. To bluff the authorities, for money and many more reasons, some in hope that the other person will die soon and then the other one will get all the belongings (I have only seen this in movies though)
Points to Republicans: - 27.45
Points to Democrats : 2.34

Alright, now let me do some ethic check here for these MORAL republicans:

The ones, who supports Capital Punishment because they believe in “you took one's life and now you gotta pay for it”.
Then they should be the first one to support EQUAL RIGHTS. Thy should say, why not, you two who respect each other and love each other should have the same rights as everyone else? It should be like that you guys are in love, so no one should have any right to stop you two in attaining a legal married status.

DO I SEE DOUBLE STANDARDS AND NO LOGIC HERE?

Abortions! Same story. How come they are OPPOSING abortions by citing that we are pro life. WTF! Hello???? How in the hell you guys who are so mellow who are crying for an unborn child can stop TWO PEOPLE who are in love with each other in getting married?
IT’S BEYOND MY UNDERSTANDING! You are not even respecting the lives of the mature human beings, and you guys wanna debate about the lives that aren’t even developed in full form?

Same shit with War and Terror. We Support wars on terror because we want the oppressed people of an ALIEN country to live freely. Isn’t that our best logic? UMMMMMM and what about the oppression of gays/bi-sexuals/lesbians/trans on our own land? Or, is it like we can oppress our people but it kills us to see the oppression of others by OTHERS. *applause*

Should I call all these people a bunch of retards or should I give them the benefit of doubt that these guys have never thought about it. I am pondering at the moment .. I know I can go on and on and on, over this topic, but I m gonna stop RIGHT HERE.

But I think I do get my answer when I think about this statement. I have read this somewhere a few years ago and I am still awed by it.

“It’s ironic to see that someone would go to a rich and frail lady and yell at her because she would be wearing a fur coat. But no one would go and say anything to a butch guy who is wearing a leather jacket!”

Can anyone explain?


To be continued .. like Gun Control, and few other issues!! :-) yah i dunno when tho!

Tuesday & Wednesday

How many times it has happened to you that you get drunk on a weeknight. Yeah, I know, it is stupid to get drunk on a weeknight. I usually do not even touch or sniff alcohol when I have some important work to do on the very next day or even, just to go to work. Yeah guys you are geniuses, a bunch of geniuses who have guessed it right. I swear I only intended to have one glass of wine with my dinner, thas about it. I can swear on anything about this. But yeah I almost finished the entire bottle.

Well, I am legendary for my low tolerance about alcohol, and the whole bottle is way too much for me to handle even on Friday night but it wasn’t even Friday, it was fooking Tuesday. Honestly, I did enjoy it while I was drinking it. My PITA brother (Pain in the ass) was sitting right there with me in the living room and was enjoying the moments of me getting drunk. Well, to cut things short, we had some good time while he mocked me for my stupidity and still made sure I drink the entire bottle.

Then I paid the price! I threw up after 2+ years! I think I have a very good digestive system. Last time when it has happened to me, it was in January 2003 and now it happened on Feb 1st 2005. Anyway, I am not done yet. So, yeah I felt horrible after that, moreover I felt like some 80+ years old who has no control over his body and whose every single part of body is aching. So I went to bed around 2AM and hoped that I will wake up on time for work.

I woke up on time, but was feeling miserable and kind of sick, but still took shower and used about half the bottle of cologne to get rid of any stinky leftover smell and went to work. I entered in the building with a feeling that I am not going to make it through the day but I wanted to be brave and give it my best shot. As soon as I entered, S@@@@ saw me and said, what happened? And THAT WAS IT. She was the first but definitely not the last person who I told that “I hate my life” (This is my pet sentence when I whine). I made sure everyone knows that the prince is having a bad day and I whined and whined and whined. Then T$$$, who I haven’t spoken to yet, saw me around 1 pm and said to me, Sukrit, I already heard that you are having a bad day and being a WHINER so do not say anything to me and blah blah. She also asked me what they say in India when you are having a bad day, because according to her “I hate my life” is way too strong word/sentence to describe just one bad day. But anyway, I felt like I have been listened and loved and something like that. At least I was satisfied.

Then I got home around 5:00-5:15, and took a nap for a couple hours and after I awoke, I felt much better. I was almost free of any hangover or anything. But I had this craving of eating something really spicy, I have no idea why. And, last time I checked Men still can’t get pregnant. Well, moving on, so both I and my P.I.T.A. bro decided to make my favorite north Indian dish called “besan-curry”. We looked for recipes online, but couldn’t find anything. So after wasting/spending about half an hour we quit.

Although, we are not a bunch of quitters, that is so not in our genes (yeah riiite), so we called mum in India and she told us how to make it step by step. And to our surprise we had every ingredient available at home. Ok, now to conclude, we made the dish, it was delicious. We made it so good that, I swear to god, it wasn’t any different than what our mum used to make for us. So, we called her back after a few hours and told her and bragged and bragged about how great cook we are and so on …. But I can tell, my mum was so happy that her sons are happy and they cooked so well. Ya know how mothers are!

What an eventful day, wasn’t it?

Ranting n Ravings!

Did anyone ever wonder why we get bored? Well, I am wondering at the moment. This boredom can be very annoying at moments. I take it that all of you know right now that I am bored. Actually not just bored, but I am bored my A** out. I am annoyingly bored or I can say I am super-annoyingly bored right now.

This uneventful weekend of mine made me think one more time about my stupid decision to stay in this no-man’s land. But again, given the circumstances, I didn’t have much choice. And now, I cannot wait to move out from here which would be sometime during the summer.

During this weekend, I was listening and watching to all the news channels and their immense coverage on Iraqis elections. It was like; all these news channels were treating Iraq as USA’s 51st state. (Until now I believed that Canada was US’s 51st state ) It seemed pointless to me to cover the elections in Iraq like the media has covered USA’s presidential elections.

Why would we care what is happening in there? I know (Bush) has sent our armed forces there and yeah the nation somewhat has right to know what is happening in the Iraq. But, come on., this on and on coverage about what would happen if this person/party wins and how the shit is gonna change there in the given circumstances and blah blah. WHO CARES! No matter who gets elected there, it is still going to be the same. Let me just say this, it’s another Afghanistan in making! A puppet premier of Iraq who isn’t liked by anyone in his own country and would be seen as a pro west (anti-islam).

I watched “Page 3” yah some Hindi movie, which I didn’t, really disliked but I don’t know if I would recommend it. It was a different movie so I don’t know what to say, so yeah watch it if u want to, it is not a total crap.

So, yeah that is it for now, I will keep you guys posted about my Gym trainer session and how it goes and when I will be ready to have my very own flat n solid tummy and indeed the much awaited six packs.

Yanni Saga!

Last night’s concert wasn’t really bad but I don’t think I liked it that much to attend it ever again. I think I would rather do something else like skiing, snow boarding, swimming, flying, having sex (off the records) … or summtinnnn along these lines :-P

Gawd, Yanni was the ugliest fag/non-fag (I dunno) I have ever seen, who is in a DIRE need for a makeover. He was wearing an ugly ass sweater (I bet it was his grand-mother’s) with a shapeless pair of trousers (definitely from Salvation Army). I have nothing against the long hair, actually I like long hair on the right person .. but honestly, it sucked on Yanni. Oh and do not start me on moustache. EWWWWWW. That little thing above his lips gotta goooooo.

Besides, what the hell was he doing the entire time? Since when moving ones hands in the air and jumping like monkey has been considered as a performance. Ughhh! Oh and yah I know he composed the music but STILL!

Drummers are the heart of any concert but here it wasn’t the case. They were like some very average performers. Again, they were not really bad but were okay and by no means can I say that they have thrilled me there or anything.

So, this entire Yanni Saga sucked!
Overall I give “3.5 outta 10” to YANNI and company!

I will wait and see how my gang ranked these suckers and then I’ll post it here, until then JAI RAM JI KI.

(P.S. I am listening to Yanni’s music at the moment)

2005 - A New Year - Under the Tuscan Sun

If you are happy and you klnow it CLAP YOUR HANDS :-)

Yah, I am happy and I know it so, CLAP CLAP :-)

The year 2005 a new year, and is being approached by me with a different attitude. (Don't worry, I am not changing myself, not even a bit). I did make ONE resolution, yup just one. Yah, I do not need to make all those mountainous resolutions and then start breaking them from day 1. So, yeah, I made sure that doesn’t happen and it is not happening. (pat pat to myself).

I Watched “Under the Tuscan Sun” last night. *Highly recommend it* Altho, I think Diane Lane was totally insane and I DO NOT recommend anyone to do what she did in the movie. I SWEAR, THIS KINDDA stuff looks good only in movies so I am warning you in advance to NOT to follow what she did. Otherwise AN AWESOME movie :-). A must watch for all the movies fans. Yah, thas how I critique a movie. ANY PROBLEM?

Happy Lohri everyone :-)
