Killing in the Name of

"Mazhab Nahin Sikhaata , Aapas Main Bair Rakhna
Hindi Hain Hum,Watan Hai,Hindostan Hamara

Iqbal!Koi Mehram Apna Nahin Jaahan Main
Maloom Kya Kisi Ko,Dard-E-Nihaan Hamara"

(Taraana-i-Hind by Sir Muhammadal Iqbal)

Here We Are Now

Two images.One of a wounded child begging in Connaught Place(Clicked by me).The other of billionaire,socialite Vijay Mallya.Both revealing a different obscenity.One,the obscenity and indignity of poverty.The other,an ostentatious exhibition of affluence and supeficiality,almost grotesque in nature.

This is what we have to show for 60 years of self-governance.A nation divided on the lines of Region,Religion,Caste,Economic Status and so much more.

I do not say there is no hope.The hope is me.The hope is you. The pain in me,is the pain in you.

2008

Another year over.I'm 18 1/2.I started drinking in '07. I quit smoking in '07.So its been quite an eventful year(as far as vices are concerned).Oh and I also lost faith in '07.

'08 has started on an extremely happy note.I just hope it continues that way. I've gained something too precious to lose.

Things I'm currently in love with:
1.Shona
2.Episode 1108('Make love,not Warcraft') of South Park
3.The 'Dead Parrot' sketch from Monty Python
4.J.J.Cale's 'Cajun Moon'
5.Rene's Magritte's 'The treachery of images"
6.His Dark Materials(Its so friggin brilliant)

New Year Resolutions:
1.Work as hard as possible to find Rakhi Sawant remotely hot.
2.Work as hard as possible to consider 50 Cent remotely music.
3.Work as hard as possible to read an Erich Segal novel and actually like it.

Happy New Year. Hope its a great year for you.Its turning out to be brilliant for me.

Cheers
