Look Deep

So, I am a big fan of Gandhi.

Well, no.

I believe, that there are somethings in the world that are too sacred for us meager humans to pass judgement on. I believe, that you'll have the right to judge Gandhi, when you are capable of sacrificing yourself for a cause to that extent. I believe that most of those who even HAD the right to judge Gandhi, have already died fighting to save this country.

I am a big fan of Bhagat Singh as well. And Chandrashekhar Azad. And Sardar Patel.

What infuriates me however, is when people like to target Gandhi, because they think they have an opinion, when in all actuality, they're doing it, cuz he was raised to God status, and they wanna point out he's not.

Well, I don't care, if the media finds that Gandhi loved to prance around in a mini skirt and make up in a mirror when people weren't looking, because you know what, it doesn't matter. If you didn't agree with a few opinions of his, I don't mind that. But if you undermine the deed of being able to get rid of one of the world's most powerful nations without raising a gun, and by your own convictions of truth and non-violence, I challenge you to do anything a quarter as willful or strong.

In a world of a frivolous media, that sensationalizes anything and everything for TRPs, we have become the same. In fact, that's where the media draws it's strength from. The lack of a face.

Anyway, before you open your mouth to pass judgment on the likes of Gandhi, Bhagat Singh or even for that matter Anna Hazare, think a little.

I don't worship Anna Hazare, not yet anyway, but I respect him. So the next time, before speaking, ask yourself, would you be able to fast for a cause for 14 days at a stretch, right now much less when you're 79? If not, keep mum.

Hello there. Its been quite sometime now since a proper post. I wonder if I even remember how its done. Now that would be tough if only there was anything to it right? Technically, "asdjhqowie" would qualify as a post. Not an interesting one, or even comprehensible for that matter.. or any adjective other than rubbish, crap or WTF?!? (which isn't really an adjective, but it still describes stuff I suppose, so lets ignore that for now.) [**pssst - I conveniently left out the implications the word 'proper' may have had.] But well, whatever. So anyway, I just gave my IIT paper yesterday. Before the 1st paper, I was awesomely relaxed, cool and positive, which was a bit mad at a level, cuz I'd so totally ruined my life for Mr.Judgement Day here, and the least I could do was feel apprehensive and tensed, and NO, it wasn't the confidence in my preparation. It was more of that strange peace n disattachment I seem to feel when strong emotions are required. And t...

Lets Stop Lying a bit.*

So I hate lies. Even fibs. As a result to be able to do what other mortals do with the help of lies(AKA, save their ass), I perfected another art. That of finding technical loop holes. Everything you say is open to my interpretation within the bounds of reasonable assumptions, and everything I say is open to your interpretation. Its not my fault if you do not interpret my thought correctly. The main trick to this lies in being incredibly vague, non-committal, and therefore unaccountable. Here are a few ways in which you can achieve the above: Always keep adding an I guess at the end of every sentence in your conversation... I guess. Thereby it is a clear indication, that what you say is only your interpretation of the scenario, and that you can basically not be held accountable for any of the negative out comes of the mentioned situation. Man created a brilliant escape-device for words and situations. Its greatness lies in 2 things: - its versatility of usage, and its simplicity. Wha...

Story of a Mad Man

I'm a mad man. I swear to God I'm crazy. Honestly. Right now I'm talking specifically relationships wise, although that statement would probably hold true in many other scenarios too! So to start off, I'm a commitment phobe. But I'm not your normal kind of commitment phobe - the ones who are afraid of being tied down to a single person for an incredibly long time - nope, I'm not that. I'm commitment phobic cuz my mind, which is rather smart (and basically practical) knows that almost no relationship at this age will actually last through and I hate the ending part, so I'm actually a commitment phobe cuz I hate break ups. Sweet innit? ( But this is valid, only until the time that I haven't gotten into a relationship. After I get into one, I'm a girl. I also exaggerate a million times.) Now, if I hate break ups, I must tend to not let go of a relationship after a break up right? Like I must be the kind who tries to hold on? Right.. Except that'...
