Not Good

There was an uprising, if so we believe, somewhere in December 2012. Intellectuals were in divided opinions, some skeptical - others hopeful. Some backed the "People's Revolution" with not-ignoble facts like awareness, alertness, dutifulness, reaction etc. Some called it a sentiment overflow.. an in-vogue activity, a social media trend, a wave that shall pass.

That was 2012. 2013 was another year. The impact, the repercussions should have been felt in 2013.

There is certainly a different air among the people. When I open up for a discussion, and very very rarely do I, I feel the rage within the people. The anger is there. I have been a witness to a couple, and a part of three  incidents in the last two years itself where this rage has shown, for good.
Only, I pray - more of the former transforms into the latter - discussions to action. Most of the talk has been about what should be done to the culprits, and the blame on the governments. About time we started talking about what we should do. And then act upon it.


This, I don't want to say a word about. Only one thing, either this has to change, or everything will change. Enough said.





Happy New Year. I am not.

Get Set Go!

I have pulled up my socks and haven't looked back. I have been running around too hard. These last few months. I've shut my senses and worked very hard, left everything behind. I've been very very confident though, in my ways. I'm not sure if this is the right way to go.. or to be.. But I keep telling myself, this is the only way ahead. Perhaps I feared I'll stop. Just pause everything, like I do.

Naturally, I am too optimistic. Sometimes I wish I could leave all this optimism, the excitement.. leave it all behind and just curl down on my bed, pulling my knees to my chest and stare point-blank at the wall.. and in the silence I can listen to myself breathing in and out..

But what I fear the most is that I'll not give up. I'll not..

I need a deserved break. Recreation. Recollection.

THE CHAT-BOX

People are strange. Acquaintances are stranger. How random can a cranky head get in a chat-box, is what this breed is unaware of. As Chandler Bing would say, let's not open that door! Everyone has bad days. If they end up with a sucker with the motto "bug them or get bugged" like this one here, there always is a VICTIM in the end! Here I would start with two finest words of wisdom, shit happens!

BUGGER /ˈbʌgə/ an annoyingly awkward thing.
TARGET /ˈtɑːgɪt/ a person, object, or place selected as the aim of an attack.
VICTIM /ˈvɪktɪm/ a person who has come to feel helpless and passive in the face of misfortune or ill-treatment.


Bugger: Hi!

- O is that supposed to be a taunt man? I'm not high anymore. That last drink was 5 hours ago!

Bugger: Hehe! You've changed a lot. I thought you're still the tiny-miny-shy-guy from school! ;-)

- O flashback! >>Nine years later>> Woah, I'm not tiny anymore! And blimey, I don't have my pants on right now! Yeah, bone and skin, that's it. And shy, well, I don't have my pants on now, so yeaaaahaa I AM shy!

Bugger-turned-Target: Ok, you have turned funny and articulate too! :P

- Have I? o_O People usually put in 'gross and whacko' in that last sentence! And I'm not proving my wit, please! I AM without my pants right now!

Target: Hehe! I hope you know the limits where you are supposed to stop, for your own good :D

- Ya, I do. And I'm not lying. I'm sometimes incapable of that. You see, right now I'm in the loo. I prefer my pants off. And my thinking inside the loo has a new dimension altogether!

Target: Thinking inside the loo :P Good going dude. A lot of people get thinking in there!

- By a lot of people do you mean YOU and your imaginary hot friend, Rebecca? Perhaps you're right, it IS common. In fact the rate at which ideas pop-out in my head in this sacred zone, I've JUST realized this - Whenever I want to write a book, I'll go on laxatives!! Kick-ass!

Target: LOL. A book on what? How to act funny?

- Act funny? Nope, that title would belong to Robert Pattinson. I'll go for "Shit In Your Loo - Shapes And Their Meanings".

Target: Now that would be gross :-/ But funny too!

- And revealing! These, mister, are life-changing shapes. Astrology and Shitology, similar sciences!

Target: Haha! So tell me wassup in life? GF?

- Life's at unrest, waiting for the FIFA World Cup, 2014! but er,
>>Gay Freedom? I totally support them. Also tigers, and educating the poor kids, feminists, PETA and Rakhi Sawant.
>>GeForce - A friend told me you had turned a biology geek in 11th grade? You can't know much about processors! I prefer layman's language, so yeah, you're right.. it's a REVOLUTION!

Target: I get a feeling you're trying too hard :-/ I'l have to be careful and specific, Girlfriend?

- Oo okay! Ya. First one, I loved her a lot. She ran away.

Target:  O that's sad! If you don't mind me asking, what happened?

- One day we decided to marry. Each other. For a change. So I turned around and farted on her face. And she ran away.

Target: Haha! So nothing happened of this sort ;-) I can't tell the difference when you are kidding and when you are not :P

- You can't tell the difference, so something of this sort may or may not have happened. Equally likely, probability-wise. Thats Mathematics, you see. Well, in my religion there is a custom that when you find that PERFECT someone, this is how you welcome them to the beginning; your new life together.

Target: What sort of sick religion would that be? :D

- Hey, stop JUDGING! Your religion too has customs of dowry, insulting the bride's family and then burning the bride alive etc. But we are all proud our religion, aren't we?

- Target: LOL! That's a thoughtful point! So you have a considerate and sensitive-side, dude! Anyway, so you are married technically :P

- No, I denounced my religion immediately. Conversion. I embraced Narcissism. My own GOD. And then I met another girl.

Lost For Words: Go on! Who can stop you :-/

- She was killed by her father (who's a Principal at a local college; also, looks like Amitabh Bachchan) for loving me. Now, I am learning to play Violin. Soon I'll be kicking cupid's ass in his institute. That's what she always dreamt of. A sugary-filmy-love-story. Since I'm not a vampire, we had to chose this way.

Target: ROFL!!

- Laughing at other's tragedies, that's like ME! Hi, where have you been? And will you stop rolling on the floor already?

Target: Hahahaa, seriously man, laugh at others; I'd never do that! Come on, you never break? That's method! :P

- o_O By the way, getting the drift of where your conversations usually go, you do have a GF as in 'girlfriend'?

Target: Yes. And now don't you make jokes about that please!

- Ofcourse not!(Too easy that way)

Target: Arre waah! You didn't ;-)

- Yeah, I'm out of the loo now. Just preparing some Lemon Tea. This requires concentration. And I'm a keen Tea/Coffee maker. In fact, I've told my roomies not to buy a Dishwasher or Coffee-maker till I'm alive.

Target: Oookkk

- Ya. And if we humans could be one machine by choice, I would choose a dishwasher. Or I'd rather wish I could be a mutant instead of machines!

Target: Machines and mutants! What are you upto :P

- You might not understand. Okay, here's a little secret. THE MATRIX HAS YOU! And if you wanna know the answers, follow the sewer-line running behind the 52nd Street in New York. It's all America. We Indians have no answers around sewers, pure shittery.
.
.
And, never use Limca in place of lemon. Your lemon tea will taste like carbon :-/ I'll have to throw this away!

Target: DUUUUUDE! You really used LIMCA for the Tea! :-O Are you nuts! Well, get an asylum for yourself :P

- Nuts I have been for a long long time now, my friend! Being so provides you with a shell which dumbo's can't crack, and you are aloof from all that stupidity floating around in this world. This is one of the preachings in my religion. Narcissism, remember!


Target: Narcissism, is that why you have a blog? :P

- Maybe. You too have a facebook account.

Target: They are not the same! :-/

- No. But narcissism, yes.

Target: COME ON! It's just a platform to socialize on, meet friends, have fun!

- But the doctrines of Narcissism totally endorse Facebook. Your Dad gifts you a fat-new-car, you must show off! You enter a night pub your friends are gonna envy, you post your location immediately. And pictures, all of YOU - the very next day. This is all DIVINE. Heaven or Hell is decided by the sacred ratio 'h'-

h =  (Total number of comments recieved in all posts)*(Total number of likes in the profile pictures)^2
                                             Total number of posts liked by the profile

Target: Hahahaa!.. Dude, REALLY? :D

-What is REAL? All that you can taste, smell, touch? Then every dream must be a reality. Even if you wake up and you feel every thing around you is real. Beware, it could be a dream in a dream!

Target: Now you are just going blablaablaa!!!

- Here's a relevant question, about you. You have an album on facebook named "Mah College". Goats? I tell you, Al-Qaeda's men don't treat* goats very modestly these days!

Target-turned-Victim: Now that's insulting! Can't you say anything that's not indirect?

- Sure. I am amazed it took you half an hour to realize this.

Victim: Ok, Dude! I am not going to piss myself up. So goodbye!

- Dude! I wish you had done that when I was in the loo, things would have gone down pretty easy! OR, we could have had a Pissing Contest!

Victim: Here's my two cents - GO **** YOURSELF!

- I wonder why people keep dropping exactly TWO cents everywhere! Don't you find it interesting? This country has 42% of the population below poverty line. Drop 1 or 2 'rupee' coins instead! Cents they'll just throw away, if they ever pick those up. Or you'll just end up making a  few kids believe that collecting currency is their hobby!
.
.
And I am confused. Why 4*s? For me! Woo, I'm declared HIT then. Or did you mean Go STAR yourself? That's in my religion! Or if you meant multiply yourself, sorry I don't fall into the amoeba-species, otherwise I would have started cell division right-off to keep your biological-self happy!

Victim is offline.

- Hey, bye big man.. I love you too! Thanks for the stars!
