The Best and Worst


The other day one of my fren wanted to know the best and worst thing happened to me in the past week. It really had me thinking. How do i seperate the good moments from the bad ones ,they so inextricably interwined that one gets meaningless without the other. We yearn for better times nevertheless. This is the time of the year when B-schools releases the final list of candidates to be admitted for the forthcoming year. Loads a my frens are moving out as they have gotten into one bschool or the other. I failed to make it to the iims and the rest i did not bother much. This bit can be added to my baddies list. I dont wanna put off my mba plans for long as am growing old by day and i wouldn't wanna be the oldest in class. Depressing prospect hmm...

Series of bomb blasts that rocked the nation has led to much fear and panick. Revenge and retaliation has made life of common man miserable. Babri Masjid was demolished in 1992, as a retaliatory measure the Islamic terrorist blew Mumbai in 1993 leaving a thousand innocent dead. Ever since there has been no stopping. Communal riots have become the order of the day and the ones affected are common man. The killers go scotfree or are awarded some years in jail with a minimal penalty. The govt spends millions on feeding them and eventually releases them after the completion of the term. Ultimately its the govt that has to be held responsible.
* The govt must take measures to beef-up security in religious places, airports, railways, as they have been major targets in the past.
* Induct more people in the police force and inculcate patriotism and other moral values in them.
* The moment a suspect is held and is proven guilty, he must be hanged or shot as it is followed in the Gulf
* Use technology to minimize effects of terrorism.
Lots have been done and said but nothing seem to have worked in favour of the common man.Lets hope for better times ;)

Me Thinks

Its sad that 3 lives perished at Dinakaran office at Madurai for no reason whatsoever. The ones involved in the murderous protest was none other than the Mayor and her husband. If the politicians cannot alleviate or reduce the sufferings of the people why add onto their existing problems. Its hard to believe , but fact is that most politicians are charged for crimes ranging from common robberies to rape,kidnapping, human-trafficking, murder, scam, and what not. Emboldened by lack of punishment, investigation and justice they continue to committing crimes without having to face, much less suffer, any punishment. As thus what is done without any punishment, can be repeated without fear. Indian politics lacks ideology , does not espouse values. It is inhabited by an ignorant, illiterate and mindless breed and it will require nothing less than a decade to clean the mess it has created.

There are a million issues plaguing the nation - unemployment, roads and railway, woman's rights, poverty, education, globalisation, privatisation, fiscal deficit.. the list is endless. The 500 odd men and women chosen to the legislature are busy amassing wealth, this accusation is limited to those who are involved in such activities, others please dont take offence.(though am sure that this article will never reach them). The indian political brigade is more talk less action and this will continue until Mayavati and Mulayam or JJ and Karunanidhi take terms and come to power. Its obvious that the incumbent is ousted and is given a red carpet welcome in the next elections. I am tired of writing stuff on politics and issues concerning the nation. To me all political parties sound remarkbly alike. They have similar issues - opposition. Nobody talks or does anything about the real issues. Enough i have abused the system.Let destiny take its course :p

I am for Women's rights , Abortion rights ,Globalization with concern for human safeguards ,Euthanasia, ... My dislikes: exploitation of underpreviliged, male chauvinism, politicians.. Thats all i can think of..

I look at the wide sky replete with starts and there is this wierd urge in me to go out and invade for it belongs to me , it always belonged to me. I am tired of living this life, helpless by all means. I am tired of finding fault with the system and do nothing about it. I am tired of waiting until i get an opportunity to do what i want. Its liked am gaged and dying in exhaustion. I am deprived of air and i wanna break free. I am wrestling with a set of choices, unable to make a decision. The search for the ultimate is not gonna end today. But I am hopeful because am a human. I am sure to find a way out.

On another note, i want to lead a simple life, atleast a single day forgetting all worries. Unwind someplace which is no less than a paradise with my favourite person , far away with Calvin and Hobbes in hand , sipping Chocolate Milkshake, relax in green lush gardens ..and try a zillion other things... whatever suits my fancy!

And yes, i made some yum gulab jamuns. I hit the kitchen with an insufferable optimism and the outcome was quite a sensation. Left them in the refrigeration and rushed to work only to find a tiny pallet floating in a pool of sugar syrup the next day :( Now thats life, dont miss out on opportunities.. :p

Now this is what we call- " A Remix" !!!

Life's Myriad Mysteries

The week is drawing to a close, much to my delight. I am both glad and surprised that i survived it. Bad health, dads' accident and very little sleep has left me down in the mouth. I had the most terrible of dreams of an alien trying to extract my soul ;).he he.. I most certainly need a break.

Last week began on a rather good note. Had a wonderful time with a new found fren. The rest of the week i was at work, slogging :( Dad met with a freaking accident and it put me off majorly.The strong man is gonna be alright soon. And huh,someonez gonna enter my life soon and i spent the past week making arrangements for it. ;)

News that i was closely following. Results of the U.P elections.Mulayam's defeat was no surprise, not that he was deprived of the oxygen of popularity, he just fell victim to the disease of incumbency.Cheer up man, u will be in again , wait for coupla years. The brewing family feud affecting the image of DMK. Lets wait for the drama to unfold.

One night at work

Iam working in the nights and today is my 7th night(13 more to go). My current state is pretty bad.I am all sleepy and exhausted. Though i sleep close to 7 hours a day, its still insufficient for someone like me. Besides, the work pressure and sleepless nights taking a toll on my health :( . I am told that working in nights can help me gain more knowledge, hmm.. I dont wanna gain anything at the expense of my health. I wonder how people at call centre survive.They work at nights for months together and there is hardly anything they can do, as in try and bring a change. Their entire schedule, body metabolism,etc is more or less screwed. But working at nights can be fun at times.

I am not sure if i can call myself a nightbird. There have been times when i have stayed up all night,but i have compensated for the lost sleep by sleeping the next entire day and most of the night. But nights are the best times to sit back and relax. I prefer reading my fav book or reminiscing about wonderful times during night. I feel enthused to do something different. High energy levels backed by a strong mind makes for a wonderful night ;) I feel a tremendous emotional surge and i find an altogether different me. The solitude and calmness help me deal with the everyday pressure and explore my potential;). I love nights, but until about 4 ,beyond which i cannot stay awake.

Here i am, working until 8 in the morning. I have a junior working with me.She is fun and together we hit the cafeteria and savour mug noodles. The timely coffee served tastes like.. ask my junior..But again, its fun at times and am paid more..
