elitist syndrome
The disease which affects us, whenever we are on our way to "progress". I am suffering from it chronically, therefore, I am such a waste.

What is interesting?
I just figured out that skimming anything is boring and monotonous whereas delving deeper and discovering the subtleties is what is interesting. Contradict me.

a story
The reality is not like the way I imagined it to be
You are not as warm as I wanted to be
Life wants me to change the way I perceive it
But I am adamant and stubborn
I will live the way I always wanted to be
Imagination will not be afraid of reality
it has nothing to loose
it does not exist even
We will live on, with our faith
with our ways
without guiles
till we die
and beyond.

Fool
Oh you fool! stop crying at your mistakes and failures. Try to see what led to them. It is your character and not momentary loss of conscious.

Another season of Identity Crisis
In a more softer words, too soft and flexible. Lot of times, I didnt know that I had an identity crisis, I just lost myself. Of course, I was very rude and pretty uncomfortable. I was being the one o decide right and wrong and judging everyone. I had tough times in all kinds of relationships. I just could not take anybody's faults.
I am talking about Individualism or personality. One thing which I was trying to have and did not know what I was becoming. I used to look up to people and also look down at few. What a stark hypocrisy.
After all "we are the actors on this center stage". What a spiritual piece by Shakespeare. It fills so much tranquility into the reader when he reads it. It also tells you that no one is superior or inferior. Obviously, it can be easily disregarded in the life we lead today when we are always trying move forward inch by inch and our measure of performance is how better are we doing as compared to other fellas who are our competitors. Corporate rules should there and not get imbibed in people's life. It does most of times though, when I see my friends ditching their long term boyfriend because their parents have found someone who makes more money. Survival of the fittest. Darwin has equated humans to animals. On personal note, I believe humans lacking courage are indeed animals.
Five things I do not want to live without: Belief, Courage, Sympathy, Speech, Action.
Five thing I want to live without: Identity, Pride, Sloth, Greed, Lust.

"If I ever wanted my son to be like anyone, it's Sachin Tendulkar."
PANCHKULA, March 14: "Going, going, gone" No Indian cricket follower can ever forget TV commentator Tony Greig's excitement on seeing a Sachin Tendulkar straight hit, off Michael Kasprowicz, vanish into the stands in Sharjah in 1998. Even ten years down the line, there was a similar excitement in Greig's voice when he talked about Tendulkar. "To me, Sachin is the greatest cricketer ever," said Greig, making it clear in one simple sentence what he feels about the Little Master.
The former England captain, who has been associated with the game for over 40 years in different capacities, was quick to justify his choice.
"If you only talk about cricketing abilities, Sir Gary Sobers is No 1. But it's not just about how you play, but the way you carry yourself on and off the field. And in that regard, Sachin is head and shoulders above other cricketing greats," Greig told the TOI.
Greig recalled something that Sir Don Bradman once told to him about Sachin's batting. " 'This boy has the natural ability to pick length It's the hallmark of a genius'. Sir Don's words still ring in my ears," said the burly Englishman a touch emotionally.
He didn't want to rank Tendulkar's centuries, because each one is "priceless in its own way. But it's for sure that you'll have to prize me out of the commentary box when he is batting," Greig added. He agreed that Tendulkar isn't the same batsman that he was five years back. "But it doesn't matter. The way he changed himself according to the demands of his team only underlines his greatness. Not many can do that," said Greig.
According to Greig, what actually sets Sachin apart from the other greats is the way the Mumbai maestro carries himself off the field. "Being the God of India for so long, it surprises me no end to see the way he has handled fame. He is still the same down-to-earth man he was 15 years back," Greig said, adding: "If I ever wanted my son to be like anyone, it's Sachin Tendulkar."
He also credited the champion batsman for the way he took the fight to the Australians in the recent series.
"All credit to Sachin, Harbhajan Singh, Kumble and Dhoni for the way they took the fight to the Aussies," said Greig.

I dont know whyeee
when I am alone, I am sensitive
when I am nervous, I shiver
when I see nice people, I become like this :)
when I listen to jazz, I am on my toes
I associate every human with an animal and I know it is weird...
I do not get bored from doing the activities I like to do
from meeting the people I like
from watching the movies I get lost in
I believe life is to get lost in and then realize aah...
I could have done better
I did not realize living alone will give me so many emotions
Is it just me or it is you also?

blank sheet
Most of the times our mind is filled with thoughts, worries, plans, excitements etc. But there are some moments when we are just blank, thinking of what to do. This post is for those moments.
Why would you just not do lot of things which are pending and you are sitting idle.
Why wouldn't you think about the girl or the guy you met last night just because you think the other person is not thinking about it.
Why would you judge the person, rather than forgiving him.
Why would you care so much about other people's opinion such that you wont speak your thoughts.
Why would you plan/contemplate so much when the most real thing is the moment.
I would because some phases of life are like those nice movies which we cherish.
I would because sometimes it is not worth speaking what you believe in.
If you dont judge then how would you like something
I wont because it is quite useless and most often than not I wont meet her again.
I would cause loosing yourself in thoughts is a pleasure which only few people can enjoy when they want.
Bunch of questions are answers I made up for myself. Thanks!

Indian gods tame Kangaroos
With all credit the Indian team deserves, I am wondering where should I credit all the catches Aussies are dropping, it has to be some Indian god who is doing the magic. Kudos to him and obviously to Kumble's men.
Incidents like this are called as coincident by the rationals and believers say that if you do wrong then you get wrong. Justice prevails, one way or other. I am not bothered about the truth but I am relishing the justice, so far.
I would like opinions on this, if there is anyone reading. thanks!

irony
The sense of happiness and satisfaction you get after realizing the so much unhappiness around life is a beautiful irony.

Is Harbhajan racist?
Might be. So can be the Mumbai crowd who was chanting monkey slogans to Symonds. But, we do not want anti-racist lessons from the disrespectful, arrogant and sour mouthed aussies. All in all, I believe racism is another hypocrisy of west at large. They were the one who introduced racism at a very large scale during colonial rule and now they have become preachers of anti-racism.

This match is a perfect example of a beautiful game reduced to a drama.
