Missing me!

This is the email I recieved this morning from someone very special.(someone, whose identity I am not gonna make public ha ha ha ... cuz then that would be so unfair to this person .. rather humilating ha ha). Although this is written in fun so don't get any ideas. .. Here it comes .....

Darling,

I want you to think about what life would be like without me for a whooooole year.Now think about how sad,lonely,and depressed you would be!!!Just think about it,cuz if it turns out I have to go to ACC just for a year,then you could stay here just for a year and see me cuz you love me so much.And then,we can go to NYC as planned and you will realize(well you already know how wonderful I am)how wonderful I am,and we will get to hang out allllll the time,and you will be sooooo happy I'm sure.
OH,and did I mention that if you leave me here I will be SOOOO sad.I mean really sad.I will be dehydrated cuz I would have been crying every day cuz I didn't get to see you.Omg,it would be awful,awful,awful.I already miss you when I don't get to see you Friday....and Saturday....oh and Sunday...and now I sound like a stalker.But just so you know,honestly,life without you would be awful.I mean it too.Now you don't have to stay here,and I'm quite sure that if you really and truly don't want to wait for me you would tell me-seeing as you're bold,blunt and beautiful...sorry you've changed it to handsome now haven't you?-but I'm hoping you will at least THINK about waiting for a while,and then we can both go to NYC and have sooooo much fun.
And I just want to remind you how much I loooooove you,and how sad I would be without you and I don't want you to leave me here.Please please please,don't leave me here.Just picture us in NYC a year from now and think of how much you love me.At least think about it anyways.You don't have to say yes,you will wait for me,(although you know how awesome that would be??:-))but just think of it.And then hopefully you will be able to tell me yes or no.Yes is the better answer by the way.No pressure or anything though.And don't hate me for begging.I don't beg very often.I think it's pathetic generally,but I'll have you know that you are the first person I have begged for anything in a looooong time.The last time I REALLY begged was when I was 4,and wanted my mother to buy me a unicorn.I didn't understand why I couldn't have one,and thought she was evil for not getting me one.Must be I still think YOU can build me a unicorn.;-)
So yes,me begging is rare.And I will beg more if it works.Unless the begging freaks you out,in which case I'll stop.
Anyways,I'm off now darling dearest.But think loooong and hard.And then tell me what you have thought.:-)I will love you forever and ever and ever and ever....:-)

Getting closer to friends!

I have decided to get a little more CLOSER to my friends. Until now my philosophy was to not to get into details about what they do and anything about their family wouldn’t intrigue me. Well I do know what most of my close friends do, but I don’t exactly know their job description and their ranking and all that type of information about them. I guess it is the time to change that. I am going to spend the month of February to make this amend in my life. Hopefully I will have the basic information about them, which for most people is very important.
I guess that is it for now. I will come back here with the report and, how did I do on this project of knowing more about people I care about and the ones who matter to me. Sounds strange, isn’t it?

The wicked Monday!

Here I am again, a little shattered but not shaken and eager to move on. Yesterday wasn’t a bad day, neither was it a great day, but I decided to talk to friends and keep the rhythm going so that I forget the series of unfortunate events of Monday.

It all started when I reached at work on Monday. I passed by two coworkers and we didn’t exchange greetings. After settling down I decided to go for my coffee run and I was being told that Albert passed away. The news of Albert’s death shook me. He was the greatest guy at work and we happened to be only two who would talk for hours about cricket and politics and India and life in general.
It didn’t even sink in totally when brother called and told me that a guy crashed into his new car. That made me so nervous that I felt like throwing up. That he was unhurt and there was only minor damage to the car and it was entirely other guy’s fault and he was very apologetic about it .. did help me a bit. But I was a total wreck after that call.
I am surprised about how fragile I can be especially, when I firmly believe that I am one of the strongest man on this earth …. I guess I need to do some rethinking about it and probably do something about this as well. Around 1 o’clock, I got out of the building to go home have some tea and relax for an hour or so and have some peace of mind. But nope, when I reached the parking lot I noticed I had a flat tire. Yup a flat tire! I don’t remember when the last time I had a flat tire and this is the first time since I have this car with run flat on it and that means no spare tire. I called the service shop and decided to take my car over there right away. I was so antsy at that time that I ran a red light. Yup I ran a red light. I don’t know what I was thinking and I do know that I did realize that I made a mistake but it was too late to do anything about it, all I saw slammed breaks on two cars and they missed me by inches. In that ordeal, I lost whatever sense I had left in me and I stalled my car right in between that intersection. My heart was pounding and right there I just wanted to SCREAM. I was courageous enough to look outside seeing those two cars backing up and leave. Another guy who was apparently waiting for me to move or do something looked at me and gestured like he was saying “come-on dude move”. I started my car and left the scene. It was 4:30 when I came back to work, picked up my bag and stuff and left for home. When I got home, I cancelled my dinner plans with friends and switched off my phone as I just needed a break from everything and life in general, so I took a nap.
Yesterday was a better day, but all day long I was very uneasy and antsy and aggregative, edgy (even according to my coworkers) and in a very fragile mode. All day long I had weird thoughts running in my mind. I made sure I talk to everyone I love and care about. And the ones I couldn’t talk to, I thought about how much I love them and miss them and thank Gods that they are in my life and how important they are for me. The ones who were not in my mind yesterday, I saw them in my dream ……!!

P.I.T.A. finally got a car!

I am only posting the pic at the moment as I have to jet, but still wanted to update about the car. At the end it was between VW Jetta and Ford Mustang. Mustang came out as the winner :-) .. look for yourself. P.S. PITA stands for my "Pain In The Ass" brother :-)

I, them and Gods!

I just needed to be reminded by this quote today … yeah one of those days. Whenever I am mad at someone, which is usually, when someone successfully takes away a little peace of mind from mighty me, I read this and feel better.
I do not agree with this quote whole heartedly, but it still soothes me and calms me down and instantly starts making me feeling better. The one part which bugs me about this quote is saying that people are often unreasonable…., I do not agree with that. There are a lot of unreasonable people around, but that would still make them of the size of a mole as compared to mountainous ethical, honest and reasonable people in this world.

People are often (sometimes) unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God"S";
It was never between you and them anyway.

Clinton or Kucinich?


This morning started with an awesome note. The news about Senator Clinton’s announcement of bidding for Democratic Party nomination brought me joy. She is an iron lady who is witty and has all the required skills and qualifications to become the United States next President. I was always impressed by her wittiness and glamour.

Being said all that, she is still not my first choice as the US next president. One person who caught my attention in last democratic primary is the one, who I would still support over Hillary, and that man is Ohio Senator, “Dennis J. Kucinich”. His liberal policies and boldness over the issues irrespective of criticism by his own party makes him one of the most honest politicians of the present time.

Golda Meir!

There is no other woman leader in the world as great as Golda Meir. She was not only the first Prime Minister of Israel; she was issued the first ever Israeli passport after the creation of State of Israel. There is so much ga ga I can do and sing praises about her and her philosophies. But the following statement of hers’ is something which won my heart and I salute her for that.

The following picture means a thousand words and sadly it is still happening in that part of the world where sanity seems to be a never reaching theme. Because it is amazing to see how people can have little respect for human life and still sympathize with the killers of children, and innocent civilians. Ironically they support this evil cause of terrorism and won't oppose the suicide bombing of Israelites only because the killers, suicide bombers and these fkced up people belong to "their" religion.


Shame on those and shame on the philosophy which preaches this!

Life!

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons . Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
- Anonymous

Life is indeed too hectic and full of surprises and at times it seems like you can't deal with everything. So it is indeed good idea to relax and take it slow at times without worrying about the stuff you won't be able to do. So many times, I have been panicking about certain things, not finishing some important task on time, and at times I have spent hours and sometimes even days by just freaking out about something. But at the end things work out. They just do!

The latter part of the above quote is amazing, and it feels just right. Apart from one, two perhaps three… or maybe many times, I have been on good terms with almost all the people (evil excluded). I am bold, I am blunt, I speak the truth and I do speak up my mind but if you respect my views even if you don't agree with me, you still can be one of my best buddies. I do the same .. again in most cases. Listening to others is as important as voicing your own opinion. At the end it is YOU who has option to ignore the other. And it doesn't take much to spend some time listening to others no matter how ignorant & dull they are.

I am definitely going to apply this to my life a little more realistically and hopefully it will make me a little more open minded except of course on some issues which are very near and dear to me .

Research on a car!

Research on buying a new car is not easy, and especially when it is for your younger brother who has totaled two cars in as many years. I spent weeks in researching before I decided for a new 06 civic, which he didn’t take long in crashing and totaling it.
Anyway, when I was on phone with mum she suggested we should get him a better car this time, while giving all the credits to Gods that her kid survived such an accident. I actually laughed at the proposal first but then keeping in mind his track record now I myself think that “the safer the better”. When my brother and I were discussing about what kind of car would be the best choice, the first suggestion came out of his big mouth was “a Porsche”. Yeah and then it came down to a Mercedes CLK and now it is a Ford Mustang.
I actually love Mustangs and that is what I narrowed it down for him even last time when we were out doing car shopping. Honda Civic came out as a winner from nowhere and that too due to some situation which I am not going to mention here. Both I and him are not big fans of Japanese cars, actually the word “despising” them would be the right word. But after this accident that attitude is somewhat tainted now. So Civic is also in the running with other potential candidates. The other cars which we are thinking along with mustang & civic are Eclipse, Jeep Liberty and a Z4.
We are planning on making up our mind sometime this week, so if anyone has any suggestion please feel free to advice. And I will keep you guys posted with our decision. Until then “Jai Ram Ji Ki”.

"Discovery of India"


I have finally decided to read “Discovery of India” a book by India’s first Prime Minister. In past many years, I have read several books, including some fiction books but I always made sure I don’t read this book along with any from the self proclaim messiah of peace, M.K. Gandhi. The reason I had behind not reading books of Nehru and Gandhi is not just that I never believed in their philosophies. It is also due to the fact that I blame them for many problems India is still facing due to the blunders this duo made before and after the independence of India.
Anyhow, from past few months, I have been doing research about India’s real history, and it is surprising to see that, not much information about India’s glorious past is readily available. Don’t we believe that Indian civilization existed thousands of years ago? In India everyone is so proud of their ancient culture, their people, their religion, their kings and philosophers and of almost everything. But what happened? How come we don’t have any information on this? What happened to the glorious cities? Where did all the temples go? When were these grand temples turned into grand mosques? We know there were atrocities done to people by mughal regimes (Muslim invasion). Why we can’t find the information?
My quest to get the answers for these questions is making me read whatever little is written about India’s past.
I will give my reviews about “Discovery of India” after I am done reading the book. Which is going to be a while as I do have a busy life:-P

2006!

Another interesting year, full of vigor and sensations during which I was able to visit my motherland which ended my years long thrust to visit the pious Hinduland.
The year did start on wrong foot. Technically I was sick for 1/4th of the year. The first phase lasted the longest, which started on New Years Eve and ended in April sometime. It was nothing major, but one flu attack after another and at one point seemed like it is never going to stop. But it didn’t end there, I did get sick a few more times and then in India it was like salt on the wounds. Remember my bees stings, and ER experience in India?... yukkkk!
The best part about 2006 was to be able to see my childhood-school & college friends. Most of them got married and looked a little different, more or less. It was the greatest feeling to meet the ones I spent most of my life with. Old memories of playing cricket on the streets and in the front-yards, back-yards and parks all came alive. The biggest shock to me was my own house in Delhi, it looked different and for first couple days I felt that I am at someone else’s place. Things looked funnier and some things looked even beyond that. But when I entered in my room, it was still the same. There was dust all over, but most of the things were intact. My bed, my table, my chairs, my books, my magazines, my video games, my toys, my newspapers clippings … my things … and above all, it smelled like me. I am not kidding, it SMELLED LIKE ME. Even after 8 years, I could feel it. And for a moment, it was like waking up from a dream in my own room. When I was in my room, last eight years felt like a dream to me. I looked at my old belongings and was re-united with old, innocent me and the precious memories which I almost forgot about.
Before my Indian saga, my parents visited again this summer and had blast with them. During that time I ate a lot and very healthy, that is all I am going to say (besides my mother really needs some cooking lessons and I wonder why my dad didn’t chose to be a chef :-) ).
July’s trip to Argentina was amazing, and I felt liberated by getting out of the USA for once. I enjoyed every single moment in Buenos Aires and cherished every single drop of Malbec :-). August-September were followed by my trips to England and India.

I dedicate this year to my family and friends. I hope the coming year brings me more peace of mind and give me courage to fight for the causes I believe in. I am still as bold and blunt as ever, perhaps a little wiser. And on that note, I wish you all a Happy and Prosperous 2007.

The vicious Iran!

A nuclear Iran is more dangerous than the combining the entire Muslim terrorism all over the world – from Sudan to Russia & to England to Kashmir, India. There are many powerful countries which seem to be less concerned about this major threat to humanity. Surprisingly there are many countries which don’t want to put any sanctions on Iran for its declared nuclear program. There are also a few countries which are not even favoring strict monitory sanctions on Iran if it doesn’t stop its nuclear agenda.

“The fact that the leader of a nation such as Iran can threaten the very existence of another nation, as he does towards Israel,” is a good enough reason for the world community to make sure Iran doesn’t achieve this devilish goal to attain its nuclear dreams.

I find it bizarre that world is not commenting on the recent comments made by Iran’s leader which are very provocative in nature and should be condemned by UN and every single nation. The following comment was made by Iranian leader about the state of Israel on Monday, “We will soon witness its disappearance and destruction.” For me this is a good enough reason to go in and destroy every single nuclear reactor site or even the suspected ones.

This is the time when the EU, the UN and the Arab world take necessary actions to prevent such kind of vicious dream of an evil empire.

Who is a Hindu?

I am starting this conversation about religions today. Although I respect most of the religions and philosophies, but I am not a fan of philosophies which preach violence and I have been very blunt about this fact. I am a proud Hindu and I a big fan of “Tao” also known as “Dao” faith and their very realistic philosophy. In Dao-ism everything depends on “The Way” which follows “the natural flow of things”.

While what other religion can be more liberal than Hindu-ism? Its philosophy says it all. Who is a Hindu? Let me state this little stanza which summarizes this complex and harmonic religion and its followers:

“A Hindu is one that believes in one God who incarnates, as and when he feels fit, in the shape and form he wants. God creates, sustains and destroys when time comes. Many names and forms are given to each with the love and affection of each individual devotee. Our Dharma is eternal, so is God and all the souls. It is our conviction that body dies but not the soul. The old scriptures are guide to salvation and an individual can steadily make his way back to God in the speed and path selected. Karma (deeds) and results of Karma are the basis of our lives. Knowing that good karma will bring good results and vice versa, our lives can be guided towards fruition of Salvation termed as Moksha. Guru plays a very important part in molding our lives and whilst the Holy book Gita can be accepted as Guru so can the word of a saint. A Hindu may or may not agree to some of the points above but he will willingly give his fellow human the right to practice religion as and how the other sees fit.” ( http://www.albany.edu/~hindu/ )

After reading this, the hope for peace in the world looks achievable. It would be so much easy and rational if we just “believe in whatever we believe and let others believe in whatever they believe”
One other question I would like to ask to all the sane people of the world. “Do you think God/s care if we worship him/her/them/it in a certain manner or with a specific name? - and that too if he/she/it/them exist!” – I don’t think so!

The day after!

It couldn’t be better day for all the liberals and NOT narrow minded people of the states. Republicans got their ass kicked in congress as well as in senate. Losing majority in both houses means an end of irrational and illogical conservative ideals of bigots.
To make things sweeter, John Sweeny lost this wholesome RED house seat to Democrats.

First causality of this rout is Rummy, and I hope there are many more to come. The following are the front page images from the newspapers.

Political Platform!

Today is the big day. I mean it is going to be a complete rout out for EVIL-licans (Republicans). I am very excited and am planning on staying up all night to view the results and watch these loosers LOSE. ONE seat I would ReALLY like democrats to snatch is NY dist.20. This thug named John Sweeney needs to go and it is about time this RED seat turns blue :-)
*keeping my fingers crossed*

Where I stand on the issues at the moment:

I support Stem Cell research
I am pro life and but I do not support making abortions ILLEGAL even though it is unethical and morally wrong to abort a fetus!
I am for stricter GUN control laws
I support EQUAL RIGHTS for everyone. (If you are not with me on this issue, I do not want you in my life)
I am totally for wars against terrorism.
I believe in capital punishment.
I support a timely pull-out of troops from IRAQ and Afghanistan(Let those fkced up people settle their disputes among themselves)
I support attacking the nations which support any form of terrorism. (even the sympathizers.
I support every move to ban and/or stop illegal immigration.

ABOVE ALL
WHEREVER I STAND, I STAND WITH ISRAEL!

India after 8 years! - Part I

August 16th
Immigration Counter @ Delhi Airport
Where is your old passport? The immigration lady asked me right after my landing at the IGI Airport in Delhi. I was surprised by the rudeness and also by that question. After all I have a valid Indian passport which proves I am an Indian citizen and that should be enough for her to verify my identity. Sadly, without even arguing I produced my old passport. There she fired another ridiculous question. “Where is your US visa” For heaven’s sake, I am coming FROM the US, not GOING to US. Instead of telling her that “MORON, my US Visa is on my NEW passport”, I asked, “what difference it makes and why do you want to see that?” … she replied …. “Aisse heeee” .. That meant “no reason” … … .. ..

August 16th
British Airways counter (Lost & Found)
A charming girl was helping me out about my luggage which got stranded at Heathrow airport for some security reasons. This guy “A Sikh man” who was a British citizen (who probably got the asylum in the name of SIKH militancy when Sikhs butchered Hindus in Punjab) interrupted the girl and started inquiring about his luggage. When being told that yes this is the right counter and he will have to wait until she is done with this other passenger (me). His response was, I am in hurry and I have people waiting outside. MIND YOU mister, I have people waiting outside as well …… That was exactly what the girl told him.
I was surprised and I appreciated her response. That was enough for me at that moment to forget about my bad experience at the immigration counter.

Sept. 3rd
Airport Lounge Part I
I have about 30 minutes till boarding starts. I am thirsty and am looking around for some vending machine for water. There I found a vendor selling water and soda. The man was reading an evening newspaper and seemed to be very much into it that he had no idea about what’s going on outside his newspaper world or someone is trying to get his attention for last 25 seconds. After a reasonable wait, “Hey mister, can I have a bottle of water” that was all I said. He got up, gave me a bottle and I gave him 20 Rupees. He placed a 5 Rupees coin on the counter for me and went back to reading the newspaper. Mister, this sign says it is 12 Rupees, I said. He looked at me over his newspaper, and said “Do you have change?” I said No, I do not. His expressionless face stared at me and uttered “ME NEITHER” and he pulled his newspaper back up in front of his face, and there he was back to his reading.

Sept. 3rd
Airport Lounge Part II
After going through, thorough and multiple security checkups I was finally in the boarding lounge. When BA staff started boarding us, they found out that my shoulder bag is not tagged, so they sent me back to the security check. While I was there, the security personnel looked at me and rudely asked “WHY DIDN’T you get it checked?” I did, I said. Either you people didn’t put the tag on or it fell. He told me to get back in the line which had at least 100 people. I was amused by the absurd rudeness. I refused to go back in the line and I bluntly told him that it must be some idiot like him who didn’t do his job properly. Anyhow, after hissing and puffing and showing me his red drunk eyes he finally checked the bag, put a tag on and with a THUD, dropped the bag in front of me and left without saying a word. I was astonished with the ill treatment at every step I was getting on MY airport in MY own country.
Ironically, if it was in the US, I would have blamed it on the staff for being selective and racist and Gods know what and who else … ……….
*sigh*
This is my India!

234 years!

I am not going to get into the crap of apologizing for not updating this blog and not writing anything over here in past 234 years. Yeah, when you count it correctly it has been exactly that many years.
Anyway, its not like I didn’t have anything to write or didn’t have any time to write, it is just that “I didn’t write”
I have been busy lately. First parents visited me (as most of you have even met them), so I have been busy with them, then I went to Argentina, then to the UK and then to make this year as one of my International traveling year, I visited India. And oh my!, that Indian trip was after 8 long years.
Basically doing all this along with being with YOU GUYS and .. he he he never mind (remember the rules? ) kept me very busy.
Aight, I did write a journal about Argentina, which I might post it here (summary), There is not much to write about my UK experience and there is NOTHING I am going to write about the Hindu Land.
Already then, that is it for now, mebbe I will peek in here soon and do my "jibber jabber" :-)

A lil bit of this and a lil bit of that!

A long due visit to Providence and New York City is finally taking place this weekend. And full coverage of the visit will be made available on the namasteny blog after the weekend.

Recommended Books:
A million little pieces “aka – a million little lies”
The Tender Bar

Movies :
Watched a lot of movies in this year so far. But only a couple were able to move me a tiny bit here and a tiny bit there. “Million Dollar Baby” was a long time due in my, to be watched list, but got a chance to watch it with Keith and what an amazing movie I have to admit. In Roger Ebert words "The kind of movie where you sit very quietly in the theater and are drawn deeply into lives that you care very much about". Another movie I liked was “Rang de Basanti” (Hindi). Saw it when my Pain in the Ass (PITA) brother made me watch it by emotionally blackmailing me. It was about time to finally watch an OKAY Hindi movie which wasn’t really great but wasn’t bad at all. I didn’t like the ending at all, actually it was a very dim-witted ending, but that didn’t lure me away to give credits to this otherwise amazing movie.

Happy Valentine's Day :-)

Dear ******,

I really can't believe how happy I am to recieve this card full of "hugs" from you and what you wrote in there about how you'd like to send many hugs from ***** :-)

Anyway, how are you doing *****? It's been ages since I heard from you. How is life with you? I so want to talk to you right now but I don't even know how to reach you and where you are at the moment. Life takes so many turns at times but sometimes it makes people very distant for no particular reason. Well I believe it is all fate (well not entirely), we all come in this universe with our fate written up there somewhere in gods' files or probably computers these days or something similar.

Anyway, i am very happy today and am playing the silly music of your **** while I am writing to you. May St. Valentine brings looots of love and happiness for you during this year.

Lots of love and thinkiing about you .... ..... :-) *hugz*

Always Yours
Me

Peter Pan!

I saw Peter Pan; a show which I felt was so good that I feel this need to mention it today over here. I have heard of Cathy Rigby’s gymnastic abilities but now I am her fan because of her performance in the show.
If you haven’t seen it yet, it is still not too late to go watch it, they are still here at our lovely proctors till 15th. I saw the movie Peter Pan very recently only because “the sucker” wouldn’t let me go home unless I watch this movie with him, so I did and I fell in love with it. And yesterday, Patrick gave me an opportunity to watch the show, when I had no plans to go and see it. Cathy Rigby’s performance was great, and her gymnastic abilities made her character looked very real and very Peter Pan-ic type. I think I am in love with her, NOT.

I am going to watch Phantom of the Opera sometime next week, depends when the gang is willing to go and get drunk after. So perhaps it will be a Friday or a Saturday.
I will give reviews after I see it. Again, I am expecting it will be better than the movie, which I absolutely love already. Especially the music.

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

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!!!!!!!

I love you and wish you all a very happy cupid day :-)

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 :-)

Birth Day!

December 2nd, the birthday of the mighty king, and that would be me.

Let me answer the question of many of you guys about my age. How old I am ? Well as I always said I am gonna be 27 for the rest of my life and will not compromise on it.

So, on December 1st 2004, i was "27". How old I am on Dec 2nd 2004? Well, I can't say I am still 27. But I still refuse to add year/s in my age which would always be "27". So, I have come up with this idea which is gonna make all of you and above all the mighty me HAPPY.

Today, I turned 27 (version 3.1), how about that?. Next year I will again be 27 but with a new version, probably L1 or XP or something.

Phewwww, so that solved it, i guess!!!

Alright chaps, enjoy and HAPPY BIRTH DAY TO ME AGAIN! :-)

The brave George!

When a President pulls and save his own bodyguard from some hostile security personal of another non-friendly country, then he deserves applauses from all quarters. Even I, who is a stern opponent of George W. Bush is impressed by this deed of his.

I think it is very funny, that someone like me applauding the person who he despise more than anyone else in the United States? Frankly in my friend’s circle, I would be embarrassed to be known as a Bush supporter for any cause. I think I am just impressed that a president intervened and saved his bodyguard from some scuffle, which we don’t usually see happening around here.

Mister President, a bold step indeed! Not to mention I am awed, with what you did! You did earn a point from me even though I despise you. You still are one of the worst, ignorant, selfish and retarded president, this country has ever had!

Forgive and forget!

It’s easier said than done. I totally acknowledge that people make mistakes, and they should be given second chance, sometimes even third and more …..

If you ask me, I will say yes, that is what you need to do, and you should do. I will even go on to the extent of preaching you and telling you why you should just forgive and forget. I would tell you, when you are angry, first ask yourself if you are doing the right thing by becoming upset.

But am I doing it? Am I forgiving and forgetting? No, ironically I am not, after realizing and talking BIG about this scrupulous concept, how come I myself can’t follow what I truly believe in? Where do I go from here? Where do I stand?

Diwali Times

Diwali, the festival of lights, candles, firecrackers, indianz…. errrr, I meant people.

Scenario I:

Diwali in India, us being good bois, running around in our greatest of spirits, in brand new clothes, visiting our neighbors, making umpteen visits to the temple with friends, dad and friends.

Puja with family while refusing to sing along, main moorakh tu swami, instead we would say tu moorakh hum swami, (I am the ignorant one and you are our caretaker, instead we would say you are the ignorant one) fireworks, dinner, fireworks, distributing sweets to our favorite neighbors, fireworks and when we were totally exhausted, we would go to bed with a SATISFACTION, which is un-explainable.

Scenario II:

Diwali in NY, lit candles on the Diwali night, performed Puja (without reversing the prayer this time) and then watched movie/TV and then got drunk and went to bed

On the weekend, Went to temple , watched Puja being performed by the priest, had dinner, watched fireworks and then at friend’s, got drunk, played silly stooopid games, went to Casino and then went home and fell asleep.

Two total different aspects?

Time has changed, motives have changed, and spirits have changed. XACTLY, the spirits have changed!!! What does that mean? … go figure!

What a SHAME

All this fuss about the funeral of world renowned terrorist “Yasser Arafat” made me think about the humankind and what’s wrong with the people! Why this man got all the media’s attention? A former terrorist, who have killed, hundreds of innocent people, including a ten year old young girl only because she was a Jewish and a resident of the state of the Israel.

My opinion? He should have been SHOT IN HEAD looong loooong ago. How could he become the messiah of peace after all? How could people forget about what he did not so long ago when he personally shot 12 members of a family in cold blood? It’s beyond my understanding.

But I pity those who have attended his funeral with grace; I pity all those citizens of the great countries who have sent their head of states to attend the funeral of this mass murderer.

I am laughing at the human race, the race who is so irrational. We need to forgive people, I do not doubt that, but in this case, only because he renounced militancy (DID HE REALLY?), we made him GANDHI of this era? . What a shame!

I am disgusted by all this hype about his illness, being declared dead and then declaring him alive and then dead again and then again alive …. What a shame. It doesn’t stop here, there is more, like blaming Israel and saying he was poisoned by them ands so on. Where are we going with this?

I don’t know why I even bothered to write about this creature, which I am pretty sure Gods will be reluctant to keep the soul of this MURDERER even in the shoddier part of hell.

I guess I had to vent, and I did that with success. I might not have made any sense here, but at least I tried.I pay homage to all those souls, thy had to leave this earth untimely due to this militant.

Gossip gang at work: Present were : (Suz…, Ter… , Ch…., Di…. and ME! )

T: I saw Liz bishop (TV news anchor) and Bob (Weather guy) at Lillians (an Italian restaurant in Saratoga springs)
C: OMG, really? Just two of them?
T: Yes I was very surprised, I said hello to them and they waved at me and I could tell there is something going on, between them.
D: I heard the rumor a while ago that Bob’s marriage is on the rocks …..
C: But I always saw them as a good couple, what happened?
T: God knows, I drove past Bob’s home last night, I didn’t see anything unusual there
(umm yah like she was gonna find some signs there, like “ I’m cheating my wife” or “we are ending our courtship” … GOD .. WOMEN!!!)
C: I can’t believe it … (again referring to their breaking marriage)
S: It has been going on for a while, Ke** did mention it one day when we were at a hockey game, although I didn’t pay much attention to it
I: (in funny tune) Ladies, now I know how you folks gossip and talk about other people’s life ..
T: (SCREAMed and kindda looked annoyed) We are stating facts here, if it’s bothering you .., get back at your desk and stop being nosey!

Yup that is exactly what happened … . they went on and on and on for another 5-10 minutes while I decided to just shut up and be a mere bystander and enjoy the fact stating banter by the mighty ones at my work place.

Tuesday, November 09, 2004

Helpless!!
Aug. 23rd, 2003 09:48

Since Tuesday, Upali was staying at my place with her friend who was visiting her from London. We chilled and had very good time and there is lot I can talk about those 4 days but I won't as it is not why I am sitting here on a Saturday morning and write about.

But For all of you who were wondering where I was since Tuesday, the answer is I was entertaining my best friend :-) Ok, here is the biggie, yesterday when Upali left I got my Car towed to the mechanic in Schenectady. Hmmm, for you who do not know, it broke down, or kindda broke down on me on Friday evening so I got it towed and the mechanic laughed at me and said i could have fixed it by myself because he couldn't find anything wrong in that. But I swear to holy god and GODS, that the car started making FUNNY noice on my way back from work/school... .... haha yeah well lets not go there ... I am illetrate when it comes about cars.

Later at evening, I went to mall with Olga and Chris, and got this awesome designer shirt :-D Alright people, now HOLD YOUR BREATH, All of you guys who know me well enough, must know about my love for dogs and how bad I always wanted a siberian husky or a shepard. Alright we went in the store and there it was this dog, Alaskan Malamute. I saw it and it looked same as the Husky but cuz sign said malamute I didnt even bother to take a look at it. Well after 10 minutes of looking at other dogs I decided to take a final look at this malamute ... and there we were in that small cabin with that puppy, olga and me :-)

You won't believe it, that puppy was magical, she instantly fell in love with me, well vice versa I should say. She was so adorable and beautiful beyond my imagination. Very quiet and very friendly and gorgeous. Anyway, we put that 2 m/o dog on hold and came home to do a little bit of research on that breed and what kind of Dogs they are etc etc. Omg, more I read about that Dog, the better i felt and more I wanted to have this dog. But then, Kevin and Kranthi kindda brought up the issue of making sure if landlord is okay with it.

YEAH!!!!! And I made kranthi call my landlord around 12 midnight and to ask about the pet policies. And the response she god from the landlord was NO PETS!!!! .. I dunno what to do know, I kindda adopted this pup as my first Child and I even gave her the name .. ... and all my dreams are shattered now. I am heart-broken.... and still thinking about some loophole to get this puppy!! But I swear to God, in my entire life, I have never felt this helpless.. .... ...

Shirts!

While, I was walking towards my car in the parking lot with my co-worker, she asked me a question which altered my day, the question was, how many shirts do you have? My response was, umm I do not know. Then she suggested, I should buy only disposable shirts as in the last 9 months she has never seen me wearing any shirt twice. Well, that is so not true, I bet she has seen me wearing same shirts twice, thrice and many more times. After that her next sentence was, she is jealous of me and I give her a complex and all my shirts are very nice and gave a few extra compliments about my clothes.

This small conversation with her shook me a little. As a result, after I got home I opened my both closets of my bed room and stared at my striking assortment of shirts, and smiled widely till my face started aching. Then an evil idea came to my mind, I started separating the shirts I have never wore at work in last 9 months or so. And to my surprise the figure crossed 5, when I was only counting full sleeve shirts, then it crossed 10 after I added my half sleeves in that list of never wore shirts at work.

Then I spent about 10 minutes figuring out, should I consider my Ts in this list or not, after all they are shirts, as it is called T-Shirt. After debating with my self for about 10 minutes I decided to go ahead and count the Ts as well. The figure then reached at 20 something. I got this satisfaction that I am going to wear these never previously wore shirts/Ts at work and make sure "she" sees them all.

Now just to give an example of how low, a materialistic man (YOUNG MAN) can get. After I was done with this little mischief of mine, another bug bit me, I wanted to know, how many shirts I have. I opened my wardrobes again and started staring and thinking about how and where to start.

I started counting 5, 10, 20 and figure ended at 40 something. I was like IS THAT IT! Then I decided to consider my decent Ts in that collection. I started again and this time, I was at 60 something but still not satisfied. My heart was pumping like I just came home from a marathon. I ended up counting every single T, which I would never even consider wearing outside my apt. Now, I have this respectful figure of 70 something.

I took a long breath with a satisfied/dissatisfied mind, wasn’t sure if I should be proud of my shirt count or what. I was exhausted, tired because of this mind boggling exercise of counting, recounting and recountingS. Then I realized, I missed out the shirts which are lying on floor, bed and on ironing board. To make things worse I also realized that I didn’t check my two full laundry baskets which are ready to be laundered.

I have had enough till this point of time. I made a commitment to myself, to do my laundry this weekend, clean my room and place all the shirts back in the closet and then COUNT THEM all.

After that I got peace of my mind and I was a happy camper.

This blogger crap is addictive, or maybe I am going through a phase of my life where I seek attention one way or another. I think it is kind of true, I am an attention seeker, fame lover and blah blah .. and this is a well known fact and if you are good enough to reach here at my blogger, you might as well know that fact already.

Yesterday, was the funny day (kindda). Jeremy stopped at work and wanted to DRAG me to the gym with him. Oh, I have to tell this .. this selfish little man convinced me to enroll at this crappy gym he goes to only because he needed a GYM BUDDY. Even though I don't personally like this gym A BIT, I took the membership for the exact same reason .. yeah if you havent guessed, it is because of this "gym buddy thingy" .. i needed one too!!!!!

Ok, so he asked me if I want to go to gym later tonight, and i was like hell NO. I was having a really really LOOONG day at work, actually one of the longest I have ever had at my work. So I refused to accompany him as I was waiting for clock to turn 4:45 and RUN to MY BED to get my sleep.

So, reached home around 5, went straight to the bed room, took off my shoes there AND jumped in my bed and FELL ASLEEP INSTANTLY. I know I know .. all of you who know me that well must be wondering that THIS guy who is totally ANTI-nappings during the summer was himself taking the nap. Well THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO EVERYTHING .. OKAY?????

Anyway, let me skip what happened during (5PM-5AM) {. . . . . fast forwarding . . . . . } Went to bed around 6 am and woke up this morning at 8, picked up the phone to call in at work but realized that I am fully awake and not tired at all ... so got ready & LEFT FOR WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Note: I, promise this is teh last time you will see me explaining my daily chores here on the blog. I will try to be productive (YEAH RIGHT).. well i said I WILL TRY.

Wednesday, August 11, 2004

I am so going to start writing again (i just spelled righting and then corrected it ... God english sucks! .. well! maybe it's me, but whatever .. .. moving on). I think writing is a very essential part of one's life, and this is the only way one can express feelings and be honest to himself. WHOM I AM KIDDING. i AM WRITING ALL THIS to impress the prospective readers ... well this is the truth .. isn't it? .. ughh now after thinking over I think I am wrong, that is not why i m writing. I am writing just because I want to write something and fill this blank BOX and have something here in my LJ/Blogger or wherever it ends up at.

Anyway, last night's thunderstorms are worth mentioning here. It was so bright out and I and Diane, were sitting at reference desk chit chatting and stuff. And there was a loud THUNDER. I looked outside and the evening turned into NIGHT instantly. It was not even 7 pm and I was like WHOA, IT IS SO NOT HAPPENING . And let me tell you, it was the best scene of nature I had ever seen. Lightening, pouring rain, thunders and WIND. I was excited, happy and inside me THE REAL SUKRIT SINGH was dancing with joy.

Alright, I am ending this post of mine like a typical hollywood suspence movie, where you are watching a great movie and admiring every part/scene of it and stuffing popcorn trying to get fat and blah blah .. and next thing you see on screen is "THE END" ... you are like WTF ?????????
