Hello all :).. wel..the good days have begun finally !!! naturally im talkin of the post-exam days..when there's no tension.. nuthin to worry about.. all peace!!!
I was wondering wat to write in d blog.. about the bloody inflation or the football fever.. after all.. there's so much goin on these days..watchin tv is almost everyone's favourite passtime.. i dont disagree on that.. but i have a question
WAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE ZINGY,EXUBERANT MTV????
There was a time when it truly embodied te word 'Enjoy'.. Now its no different from the other crappy channels..Roadies got over.. fine that was tolerable..apart from the 2 psycopaths.. of course im talkin abt that baldie Raghu & tht ex-roadie RanVijay..
But this new crap they have cm up with.. Splitsvilla.. or watever.. WAT THE FUCK ?????
For those of u who dunno wat its all about, leme sum it up for u.. there are a bunch of 20 gals..i dont wana use "hot" or gudluking cz alldont fit in them..and there are 2 guys.{both luk as tho amone's pukedon them !!}. Big losers according to me..The gals "compete" among themselves for these 2 losers.There's something like a Dumping ceremony where one after one gals getdumped! Naturally , u can predict wat happens next!the gals walk off tearfully into darkness.. as thou the world has cometo an end.the rest o the gals jus go on to dating the guys.. bitching about each other.. screw it i don wana say more!
The first time i saw this i could just think.. wat a spectacularlyMINDLESS show!!!!!!!!!
Probably these are just a reminiscent of those reality shows like Temptation Island {used to cm on Star world}..
Whatever happened to the Hindi movie spoofs and cyrus' Bakra .. etc..
Well, i can jus say that the best thing about television now is that theres a remote.. which u can always use.. i think Travel & Living has a number of worth-watching shows rather than MTV. Sadly, the channel we all used to luv watching has definitly lost its humour..energy.. sense, EVERYTHIN actually!
Newy, thats all for now.. c u soon..

Literary world etc. etc. ( by Floyd)
Its been a long time since i've written on my blog ... and I am still wondering what I should write .... actually there are two types of writings - 1) writing for oneself and 2) writing for others .
Writing for oneself is also what one would call expressing oneself , its therapeutic for the writer because he/she can give a vent to his/her feelings thus acting as a catharsis . Osho Rajneesh in one of his discourses pointed out that reading such "cathartic" works would burden the reader rather then enlighten him . Whereas,reading scriptures or books on spirituality broadens ones perspective and helps in finding joy in life.The people who write for oneself however find greater fan followings and hence bigger cheques. Its a depressed world looking for even more depressing stories. Hindi film director Karan Johar has this mantra for success that if you make the audience cry, you go laughing to the bank ... and isn't that damn true!!!
When people write for themselves they many a times try to dump their confusion on their loyal readers . One big example of this is the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling.I dont know how a school teacher can have such a wild imagination to imagine such occult/weird stuff. She must have surely been a witch doctor is some rural part of India in her last birth (haha).It is sad that parents encourage their kids to read such books when in India we have so many beautiful epics.
Paulo Coelho,the famous author of the novel THE ALCHEMIST also seems to be a confused soul.His books seem to be a cocktail of christianity,islam,indian spirituality,sufism and his own experiences , though I must say he does a good job in putting together the spiritual ideas with an interesting storyline .
Well, in the absence of things to write about I feel i have already said enough ... Its no doubt that today the literary world is fully commercialised and the idea is to give the readers what they want so that the bank statements of authors and publisherslook better every month .
Thats all I can say for now ... would love to know what's your take on what I wrote .... Thanks and Take Care ... See you soon

REASONS TO VOTE ..... FOR ALL YOUNGISTANIS
Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as
per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling
booth,confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding
election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!
Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly
notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".
Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a
candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has
received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be
cancelled and will have to be re-polled. Not only that, but the
candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest
the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on
them.
This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine
candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way,
of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the
election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....
Please spread this news to as many as you know... Seems to be a
wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... show your power,
expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful
than voting... so don't miss your chance.
So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info
on....
LETS BE AWARE YOUNGISTAN !!!!

Waste Of Time on CRAP ( By Floyd)
Hey !!! ... hws life?
TV !!! ... the very name of the idiot box used to make me excited a year ago. TV was synonymous to entertainment and education called as 'edutainment' and Im not talking about Discovery or NatGeo. I mean to say things used to be quite sensible and creative even on the channels watched by the common man.
What pisses me off the most are the 'bakvaas' news channels that air crappy stories with no truth and of no consequence to anyone. Now, there is really no way one can keep a count of the number of such channels being aired.I also realize that this is just the beginning of the end of sensible television.
WHY WOULD I BE BOTHERED ABOUT THE DIET OF 8-FEET MONSTER GREAT KHALI????
IPL,ICL and what not......
The coming of the Indian Premier League will mean more cricket ,more entertainment and more waste of time . I find it absurd that people who will never play the game,sit for hours together and watch 11 men scratching their crotches on field.
It is understandable that youngsters who play cricket watch it to learn new tricks which they can put to practice when they play,but how does a pot-bellied 40 yr old who cant walk 5mins justify such waste of time? and their silly daughters fantasize cricketers rather then watching the game . I feel that creativity and health take a backseat because of this .It is indeed very sad . The same 40 yr old gentleman could have gone to the park for a walk instead of lying on the couch. He could have shared some of his experiences in life with his silly daughter or taught her some creative art or craft which he knows.
But he rather choses to invest his time to gurantee himself a bypass surgery at the age of 45 so that his poor wife has to cry rivers and be worried about the future of his children.By the way , he also invests his time to make sure that business people like Vijay Mallya ,SRK and Preity Zinta get richer.
Sorry all ya cricket fans .. but this is the TRUTH and it is BITTER ... bye for now!!!
