300 + the other 5

Dedicated to the 5 brave souls who couldnt make the cut into the mythical Spartan Army known as 'the 300'...this is a tribute to those 5 sons of guns n' bitches... *lmao*

Updates

And when i say updates it means the new shit thats happenin in the news...lets start off with Ms.Paris Hilton, all giggly n' strutting her stuff for all the cameras that had assembled outside her prison...it looked more like she was walking out of some beauty saloon than any prison.

On the national front things arent looking good as far as our so called 'heritage' is concerned...one of Mahatma Gandhi's letter is about to be auctioned off in UK...noone really knows how it got there but this is not the first time that something like this has happened....India has already been dispossessed of the Peacock throne, the Kohinoor diamond n' some otha shit like that...all are on display in International Museums outside India, now thats a kick in the Indian pride-groin area...its almost our heritage now to lose our stuff...Anyways the latest news is that the Govt is out to bid for the letters...best of luck with that...Bharat Matha ki jai!..Jai matha di! etcetra etcetra.

Looks like Kalaam is not contesting the election to the Presidential office..bummer...the last two standing are Prathiba Patil n' Bairon Singh Shekhawat(both name spellings??)...its fun to watch everyone make a mockery of the election...think i'll do a whole post on the shit that hit the fan during the election...that'll come later...For the update on the Indian Film Industry, its still the same, dipshits patting each other on the back for making absolutely crappy movies...this is all for now.

Yes....blissful

Dad been in hospital for 3 weeks now...had a mild stroke(spelled correctly??), right side of body paralysed but now slowly starting to improve(able to move now) with help of physiotherapy...am trying to juggle the bloody exams n' errands at the hospital...my nervous breakdown is not too far...if any poor soul is reading this please give pointers on any stress exercises :sigh:

Registered for the next semester at college, wonder how i'm gonna get thru those shitty 6 months...college consists of awesome classmates who treat you like a circus freak(no offence to circusfreaks), teachers who love you soo much that they give you such nice internal marks(20-30/50) cos they just know how easy it is to make up for it during the university exams, incredibly interesting classes which makes you want to bang your head against the wall n' scratch your eyes out, people falling in love everywhere around you n' the only one standing next to you is the disesase-ridden dog that roams around the campus, fond memories of seniors bashing in your face for looking at them wrong...awwwww cant wait for classes to start...

Furious Monsoon!!

Rain Rain go away,
Come again some otha day.

i guess that day is here now... monsoon is in full flow err..blow actually.The winds this year are really scary...shit is happening throughout the country...even on the local roads here u can see the devastation of mother nature...tall fukkin huge trees shrewn about on the road like some T-Rex came searching for its missing egg.
No matter whatever season it is, thres always so much death associated with it...for the summer it was sunstroke n' for monsoon its 'monstroke'??...thres no term for it or at least pple arent using any, settling for 'rain-related-deaths'...so much deaths man..tough little world.
Dont kno if its the global warming propaganda but i'm a bit spookd about all this....around here every monsoon the sea comes in and takes a lot of the land....displacing all the fisher-folk etc...this is supposd to be normal for every year but its unnerving, with my place being close to the sea n' all(lol...i have nitemares about a Tsunami hitting Trivandrum)...I hope the Gods will stop 'pissing' here n' move to the drought hit areas, and please God no more tsunamis, i promise a virgin sacrifice(aliya shiraz..plss...do this for the world)

Edit:Jus saw bodies(partially decayed...creepy) being pulled out of the water on TV, cargo ship sinks in tempestous seas off the coast of Mangalore...virgin sacrifice has been cancelled :sigh:

(lol...u'd think nothing worries the guy in the picture though.. www.keralatourism.org)

Sunita's Homecoming

Space education going on in every news channel...how n' when will she come back, that seems to be the thought everywhere on TV...i dont think she has much to do with my country, except her father n' of course the successor to India's original space-daughter Kalapana Chawla....this is what i call sentimental value...
I wonder what all of the guys in Atlantis is upto now??...pressure is building up...especially nerve-racking if they've tuned in on indian television...

Connie's got talent...

If you've checkd out the youtube video on the right side of my blog, you'd see a 6 yr old singing her heart out with an awesome rendition of 'Somewhere over the rainbow...'(From the Wizard of Oz??)For all the pop culture illiterate folk: the show is known as 'Britan's got talent' , which is just yet another reality talent show n' the winner/winners(?) gets to perform in front of the queen...US of A have their own version of this show, 'America's got talent'...wonder what the winners get to do ova there...certainly not to perform for the queen, prolly a studio deal or somthin...anyways the British version was not as hip(so to speak) as the american one but then this girl came on the show n' just blew everyone away....see (& hear) for yourself, click on the thumbnail....one of the judges was left in tears n' speechless(Lol, was funny)....then of course there was the inimitable S.Cowell present at the proceedings, that too in a foul mood as usual...but in the end he couldnt stop himself from praising the pitch-perfect rendition...

Salaam to Kalam

Never have I seen such an animated piece of Presidential machinary...remember the old school ones??...the ones who could barely move...jesus! i cant even remember any former president names...they were more like showpieces which were taken out whenever some foreign delegate came visiting....u get wat i'm sayin rt??....For years the presidential post used to be held by some mascot for an arthritis campaign, and suddenly for five whole years we had a new n' improved Prez who jus couldnt stop moving about....i guess u kno whre i'm goin with this..

5 more years!...5 more years!

Jesus....Jesus...hiding in the bushes!

So...whre is he...is he waiting for the violence n' injustice in the world to build up to its peak crescendo?...wont the world be ready for the grand entry until more innocent blood has been spilt...Noones comin, isnt that right...it jus helps you sleep at night with this thought that one day some idiot is goin to show up n' clean all the mess up.
And i cant understand this thing with humans having to praise God...i mean is he/she such an insecure being that he needs to be reminded how damn good he is 24x7?!....

Lucid Dreamer

WHAT IS LUCID DREAMING?

Lucid dreaming means dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming. The term was coined by Frederik van Eeden who used the word "lucid" in the sense of mental clarity. Lucidity usually begins in the midst of a dream when the dreamer realizes that the experience is not occurring in physical reality, but is a dream. Often this realization is triggered by the dreamer noticing some impossible or unlikely occurrence in the dream, such as flying or meeting the deceased. Sometimes people become lucid without noticing any particular clue in the dream; they just suddenly realize they are in a dream. A minority of lucid dreams (according to the research of LaBerge and colleagues, about 10 percent) are the result of returning to REM (dreaming) sleep directly from an awakening with unbroken reflective consciousness.

Someone asked if i was a 'lucid dreamer'....never actually thought about it till now...thre are times that i've realised that am in a dream but could never take control of the events in the dream....i just start to see MORE weird stuff after realising its a dream...best way to get such dreams is to wake up early in the mornin n' then go back to sleep, somehow thats wen i've experienced most of the psychedelic ones..
