LSD music and lyrics

2010-03-18T11:28:00.000-07:00

LSD is different in a refreshing ... awesome way
The lyrics just insane yet apt considering the theme of the movie .. Reality tv nd cameras in modern India ..

These are lyrics of just the four that i liked on a first listen ..
And the lyrics are just Voyeuristic considering the theme of the movie and considering the whole soundtrack make it something to remember ...

1. Tu Gandi Achhi Lagti Hai Song

Tu gandi achhi lagti hai, tu bandi achhi lagti hai
Tu kali si kachhi, tu tali si machhi lagti hai
Tu gandi achhi lagti hai, tu bandi achhi lagti hai
Tu kali si kachhi, tu tali si machhi lagti hai
Main saat janam upwasa hoon aur saat samandar pyaasa hoon
Jee bar ke tujhko pee lunga
Tu gandi achhi lagti hai
Tu gandi achhi lagti hai, tu bandi achhi lagti hai
Tu kali si kachhi, tu tali si machhi lagti hai

Main na jaanu kya sharam ae haya, tuje jaane ke main sab bhool gaya
Jo kehte hai ye kufar khata kafir kya hain unko jab bao
Main na jaanu kya sharam ae haya, tuje jaane ke main sab bhool gaya
Jo kehte hai ye kufar khata kafir kya hain unko jab bao
Tu gandi achhi lagti hai, tu bandi achhi lagti hai
Tu kali si kachhi, tu tali si machhi lagti hai
Sach sach main bolne wala hoon, main mann ka behad kala hoon
Tere rang mein mann rang lunga

Tu rangi achhi lagti hai, tu sachhi achhi lagti hai
Tu achhi achhi lagti hai, tu jhooti
Tu roothi achhi lagti hai
Tu gandi achhi lagti hai, tu bandi achhi lagti hai
Tu kali si kachhi, tu tali si machhi lagti hai
Tu kali si kachhi

Comprehending Engineers

2009-11-29T10:53:00.001-08:00

Couldn't help put put this up .. Read it ol ...

Comprehending Engineers - Take One: Two engineering students were walking
across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The
second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own
business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to
the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want." "The
second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably
wouldn't have fit."

Comprehending Engineers - Take Two: To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To a pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice
as big as it needs to be.

Comprehending Engineers-Take Three: A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were
waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer
fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!
"The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with
him." [dramatic pause] "Hi George. Say, what's with that group ahead of us?
They're rather slow, aren't they?" The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes,
that's a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our
clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free
anytime." The group was silent for a moment. The pastor said, "That's so
sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight." The doctor said,
"Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if
there's anything he can do for them." The engineer said, "Why can't these
guys play at night?"

Comprehending Engineers-Take Four: There was an engineer who had an
exceptional gift for fixing all things mechanical. After serving his company
loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired. Several years later the
company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were
having with one of their multimillion dollar machines. They had tried
everything and everyone else to get the machine to work but to no avail. In
desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of
their problems in the past. The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He
spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day, he marked a
small "x" in chalk on a particular component of the machine and stated,
"This is where your problem is". The part was replaced and the machine
worked perfectly again. The company received a bill for $50,000 from the
engineer for his service. They demanded an itemized accounting of his
charges. The engineer responded briefly: One chalk mark, $1. Knowing where
to put it, $49,999. It was paid in full and the engineer retired again in
peace.

Comprehending Engineers-Take Five: What is the difference between
Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers?
Mechanical Engineers build weapons, Civil Engineers build targets.

Comprehending Engineers-Take Six: Three engineering students were gathered
together discussing the possible designers of the human body. One said, "It
was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints." Another said, "No,
it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of
electrical connections." The last said, "Actually it was a civil engineer.
Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

Comprehending Engineers-Take Seven: "Normal people ... believe that if it
ain't broke, don't fix it." Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it
doesn't have enough features yet.

Comprehending Engineers-Take Eight: An architect, an artist and an engineer
were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a
mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid
foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time
with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The
engineer said, "I like both." "Both?" Engineer: "Yeah. If you have a wife
and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other
woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done."

Comprehending Engineers - Take Nine: An engineer was crossing a road one day
when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a
beautiful princess". He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his
pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back
into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The engineer
took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess,
I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the engineer took the
frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog
asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that
I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss
me?" The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a
girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool!"

One Down One to GO - District -9 Done ... Inglourious sooon

2009-08-23T11:20:00.000-07:00

Two movies that i was really wanting to watch. District - 9 & Inglourious !!!

District - 9

D-9 is simply BRILLIANT !!!

Here's one movie that adds up to the brilliant marketing and hype created for a movie that has a first time director, his school buddy the first time lead though of course the brilliant Peter Jackson as the executive producer back this 30 million dollar project that has already earned 75 mill in less than 10 days !!!

Here’s the pitch: desperate extraterrestrials live on earth in segregated slums in South Africa where they are treated like illegal immigrants.

These aliens are being moved to another location they have advanced weapons that are only usable by them and not humans.

There is one human who due to circumstances starts to become an alien ..

How he ends up fighting for them against the world is the basic plot of the movie.

Theres everything in this movie from a brilliant script , great action sequences , really captivating direction a movie that makes you think and to top it all its so damn entertaining !!!

Cant believe there would be such a movie made with flying saucers in it !!!

Inglourious !!!

This movie has earned 37 mill on its first weekend !!! Has a great word of mouth !!! Heard of it getting a standing ovation in Cannes !!!
I so need to watch this movie !! for now all i can do is watch the trailers and the pics and wait !!!

I have been waiting for this movie to release from i dont know when !!!
A WW-II epic by Quentin Tarantino where its the Nazis being annihilated by a handfull of bad ass Allied Soldiers !!! Whose going to miss this ??

Patriotic Post - 1 "The Razangla battle"

2009-07-25T10:34:00.000-07:00

Today's the 10th Anniversary of Kargil and the Government of India is not participating in the celebrations by the Army. Shocking as it may be .. I feel the Govt forgets the sacrifices made sometimes as they continue to bicker about whose fault the War was.
Here's something i just went through after i read it !!! Even though my dad had told me about this ever since i was a kid. Reading this was quite something !!! I have posted the actual link below after the text so that these facts aren't lost sme where.

The Razangla battle

ON October 20, 1962, the Chinese launched a full-scale attack on 7 Infantry Brigade, stretched as it was along the Namka Chu river in the Kaming division of North West Frontier Agency (NEFA), later renamed Arunachal Pradesh, and made rapid progress. However, in the Ladakh sector, nothing much happened during the next few weeks except that some of the forward Indian posts were driven back, though there were unmistakable signs of a build-up of forces.

114 Infantry Brigade had been tasked to defend the gateway to the Indus Valley at Chushul. The brigade had occupied defences on the heights dominating the Chushul plain and its airfield. It is a vast area and consequently the defences were widely separated with the companies occupying isolated positions, resulting in the break-up of the only artillery battery into troop deployment. One of the forward and important features called Razangla was occupied by a company of 13 Kumaon, commanded by Maj Shaitan Singh.

He must have been a very naughty child for his parents to have named him Shaitan Singh. In later years, he grew up to be a sombre, God-fearing, serious-minded officer, a bit shy and unassuming. He took keen interest in the training and welfare of his men. He came from a military family, with his father having risen to the rank of a Colonel in the army.

Consequently, by training and tradition, he was imbued with a high sense of duty and responsibility and his character moulded to measure up to the trials and tribulations that lay ahead.

Razangla is a rocky area in the desolate, barren and cold desert of Ladakh and an important post for the attacker to take before making any move towards the plains of Chushul. Its height is over 17,000 feet and dominates the surrounding area, thus making it a vital feature for the defender to hold.

Equally, there was no better man to defend this outpost than Major Shaitan Singh. Both his commanding officer and the brigade commander (also from the Kumaon Regiment) knew that the enemy will require some considerable effort to dislodge him from Razangla.

Finally on the night of December 18, 1962, the Chinese made their move around mid-night. The attack opened with a heavy barrage of artillery and mortar fire supported by medium machine guns. Shaitan Singh’s men were ill-clad for the freezing winter of Ladakh, their weapons were outdated and ammunition limited with no artillery support worth the name.

Frozen earth made digging very difficult and the defender had based his defences mostly on Sangars. Notwithstanding all that, these gallant men of Kumoan hills met the overwhelming enemy onslaught head-on.

Shaitan Singh must have been the most inspiring figure in that unequal fight; for his men fought to the last while he himself kept moving to wherever the situation was found getting out of control.

Shaitan Singh was seriously wounded in the legs and stomach, yet he declined to be evacuated by his men and decided to fight to the finish. All this time, the battle raged with unabated fury. Some of the section posts changed hands many times. With the ammunition exhausted the fighting took its most primitive and brutal form, that is hand-to-hand fighting with the Kumaonis refusing to yield ground.

Before dawn could break on the Ladakh hills, silence descended at Razangla. The last of the men of that gallant company had fallen at their post. When all had been lost, three badly wounded men who had survived the fighting decided to evacuate Shaitan Singh, who by now was totally incapacitated. They carried him some distance, but the task was too much for the already weakened men.

Realising their state and the problem they were having in evacuating him, Shaitan Singh ordered his men to leave him to his fate and find their way to the battalion headquarters. Reclining against the rock, Shaitan Singh must have slowly bled and frozen to death, and that is the position in which they found him next summer.

Out of this gallant company of nearly 120 men, only these three seriously wounded soldiers came back to give the details of this heroic battle.

The Chinese had suffered heavy casualties and the momentum of their offensive in the Ladakh sector had been effectively checked by these handful of Kumaonis under that gallant company commander. Thereafter, the Chinese made no serious effort to push their drive towards the Chushul plain.

While military observers were stunned at the collective bravery of these men and that of Shaitan Singh, Joe Das, an authority on military history, drew a parallel between the battle of Razangla and the battle of Thermopyalae.

Next summer, when Razangla was revisited, Major Shaitan Singh’s body was found where the three men said they had left him. At Razangla, the spread of dead bodies of the Kumaonis, with some still clutching their weapons and from the type and extent of their wounds one could picture the desperate nature of the struggle and the bravery of the men of 13 Kumaon.

Major Shaitan Singh was awarded the Param Vir Chakra (posthumous) for valour.

Michael Jackson : Tribute

2009-07-17T11:46:00.000-07:00

This is a time when almost all channels are paying tribute to MJ. Almost a week later they come up with wierd stories ranging from how he had broken ribs, was bald used a wig was undernourished and also only had pills in his stomach when he died. A day later after a magazine releases pics and new channels play videos play snippets of his rehearsal dance every one comments on how healthy he was looking before he suddenly died.

This is how the media practically used MJ's name to sell news .. often made up to eager and trusting fans across the world. The still r telling us of how ppl claimed to have seen MJ's ghost at his Neverland Ranch !!!

He was the biggest star and i must say with the most brilliant voice full of range too.His music had soul, lyrics that appealed to all; his beats and OMFG wat a dancer/performer !!!
I havn't grown tired of listening to his music and never will.

There are various phases in our lives one where we r addicted to pop, then boybands - britney-beyonce etc phase, then when we feel a little cooler we listen to rock, hip hop,rap eminem is da coolest rapper and he kicks ppls asses and ofcourse then there's the phse when we listen to mature rock, metal some of us enjoy club and house music !!!
Through all of these phases i could listen to any of his hits at any given time of the day and thoroughly enjoy it !!!

His music transcended all genres and had a bit of everything in it. Each of his songs has more production value than that in an album of any recent singer ... Listen to Billy Jean for instance or Bad or Give in to Me or any of his hits and just compare it to sme of the music here .. Flo Rida - Right round for example .. which is a gr8 track btw ... its not even a patch on any of his songs

He collaborated/performed with some of the biggest names in the industry today right from Slash to Britney.He gave to charity. Was gud to fans. Ppl got after him in the series of incidents he got into like havin a Chimp as a pet .. OOh its so sweet wen Paris Hilton gets a Chi hua hua as a pet and carries it around in her hand bag isnt it !

He did hav cases filed against him for serious charges but nothing was proved though there was an outta court settlement the first time !
Now who wouldnt get after a person with as much Money as him using one of his eccentricities and a wonderful way of killing the very base of his popularity : his acceptability amongst most of the public irrespective of race, or sex !!!
Now when Elvis died weren't the like 300+ ppl claiming to be his illegitimate children to cash in !!! Bust Elvis is still the King isn't he ?

Forget that shit. His music was gr8 ... 2days music isnt very gr8 and the artists keep getting caught with dope every now and then and its ok .. isn't ?

Its not like i listened to his music a lot over the past few yrs but i know one thing i never got bored or changed the channel when one of his performances or songs were being played !!!

And this is who he was going out with when she was the world's most desirable woman

Network - Insane movie !!!

2009-05-10T10:27:00.001-07:00

Im writing this post a little late i guess considering i saw this movie almost a year ago !!! but then i guess there's no time frame for writing a blog post :) plus seeing the movie again 2day has something to do with it , i guess

The story of the movie is just insane and from the moment you start watching it you know that you are viewing a movie with complete skill ...The story revolves around the life of Howard Beale a TV news anchor far from his prime .. who has seen really gud days but now is really low on TRP .. one day on another one of his boring shows he announces that in a week from now he would kill him self ... from there on the movie takes a quantum leap into how new age ambitious media ppl decide to put this slowly turning manic on prime time television as a instant processed messiah of the ppl ... finally killing him when their ploy turns agains them ...
A ploy wherein in the new Howard Beale show theres a Lady with a tarrot card and a Man who predicts the weather using his crystal bowl (smething that strikes a resemblance on sum of our TV channels 2day)

Here are some of the the insane monologues in the movie

Howard Beale:

1. I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad.
You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell,
'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it:
Howard Beale: [screaming at the top of his lungs] "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

2. Howard Beale:

[arms outstretched to the heavens] Edward George Ruddy died today! Edward George Ruddy was the Chairman of the Board of the Union Broadcasting Systems, and he died at eleven o'clock this morning of a heart condition, and woe is us! We're in a lot of trouble!
[calmly strolling toward the audience] So. A rich little man with white hair died. What has that got to do with the price of rice, right? And *why* is that woe to us? Because you people, and sixty-two million other Americans, are listening to me right now. Because less than three percent of you people read books! Because less than fifteen percent of you read newspapers! Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube! This tube is the Gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers... This tube is the most awesome God-damned force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls in to the hands of the wrong people, and that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA -- the Communication Corporation of America. There's a new Chairman of the Board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the twentieth floor. And when the twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome God-damned propoganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network?
[ascending the stage] So, you listen to me. Listen to me: Television is not the truth! Television is a God-damned amusement park! Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, side-show freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business! So if you want the truth... Go to God! Go to your gurus! Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever going to find any real truth.
[laughing to himself] But, man, you're never going to get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you want to hear; we lie like hell. We'll tell you that, uh, Kojak always gets the killer, or that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house, and no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry, just look at your watch; at the end of the hour he's going to win. We'll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in *illusions*, man! None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds... We're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality, and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even *think* like the tube! This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing! *WE* are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off! Turn them off right in the middle of the sentence I'm speaking to you now! TURN THEM OFF...
[collapses in a prophetic swoon as the audience erupts in thunderous applause]
You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here, you're beginning to believe that the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal. You do. Why, whatever the tube tells you: you dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing, WE are the illusion.

3. Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation; this tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers; this tube is the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people, and that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA, the Communications Corporation of America; there's a new chairman of the board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the twentieth floor. And when the 12th largest company in the world controls the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network?

4. Arthur Jensen:

[bellowing] You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it! Is that clear? You think you've merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case! The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance! You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU...WILL...ATONE!
Arthur Jensen: [calmly] Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale? You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those *are* the nations of the world today. What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that . . . perfect world . . . in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel.
Howard Beale: Why me?
Arthur Jensen: Because you're on television, dummy. Sixty million people watch you every night of the week, Monday through Friday.
Howard Beale: I have seen the face of God.
Arthur Jensen: You just might be right, Mr. Beale.

Parking @ Viman Nagar

2009-01-17T12:24:00.001-08:00

Living in Viman Nagar has quantumly improved in the last 6-8 months.I mean there r restaurants every 100 mtrs literally. There's a 3 storey restaurant with different cuisines served at each floor at lesser than a 100 mtrs ;) there's a world gym thats started thats even closer bang in front of my house (almost) !!! Mixed signals i say restaurants at walking distances and a gym thats even closer ...

However the pain in the ass fucks that are seriously spoiling the fun are these traffic guys that hav this random vehicle that keeps going about @ 10k an hour all the tim in the different roads here with the traffic ppl running along almost faster than the truck pouncing on any 2 wheeler parked on the road without any one sitting on it ..

Man r these guys slick they hav the bik up and away onto the truck or wateva it is in no tim .. I was actually amazed at how fast they did their shit because they did not look very well fed .. as in if they didn't hav their uniforms on i would hav thought it was a bunch of underfed orphans that had escaped from their orphange to get smething to eat !!!

Neways back to the pt ... i was actually amazed today .. i had parked ma bik in front of a takaway here as busy chking the order of ma pomfret for lunch when i heard this commotion .. it was a lazy saturday afternoon nd i had just gotten up abt 45 min back so was not so much into wat was happening around me .. neways i saw this set of 4 guys in blue uniforms running towards a red pulsar (my bike which i realized a few seconds later) ... suddenly from the shop i was in ... a group of ppl in maroon uniforms started waving and shouting loudly (these wer the waiters of the take away which i again realized a few seconds later) ...

So this set of blue uniformed fucks just got of the moving truck and quickly crossed the road but while this was happening the red uniformed saviors ;) wer on top of the situation (as again i realized a few seconds later) one of them realizing that the customer (ie me) hadn't grasped the reality of the situation .. took it upon him self to save the day (god bless him may he get a bik to do his deliveries instead of the cycle currently bestowed upon him) ... so this dude goes and sits on the bike and holds on to the handle like theres no tomorrow ... and just in the nick of time too .. the fucking blue vultures cowered back in to their fucked up truck which again continued on its journey @ 10 km per hour ...

To top it all .. me now partially aware of wat was happening rushed to my bik and seeing some random red uniformed guy sitting on my bik holding on to its handles, went on to hold the back of the bik with all the strength i was ready to shout at him ... but as the truck before me moved on with the blue dudes looking on with smug faces at us ... i realized that this was a waiter ... he was with the good guys ... I wanted to thank him ... but he lik a soldier acted as if it was nothing at all had happend and showed me their exclusive parking space behind a tree ... like a safe haven only for his customers ... i just went on and doubled my order

The battle was won but not the war ... tomorrow there will be another customer .. hopefully another savior ... Just another day at Vimannagar ... LOL

Bottom Line : Viman Nagar needs proper parking .. also has a lot of interesting shit happening all the tim ;)

Operation Black Tornado

2008-11-28T12:08:00.000-08:00

The Taj ... Before the attack .. legend has it that once JRD Tata wasn't allowed to a 5 Star Hotel in Bombay cause of his race ... nd he came back to build the Taj Hotel in 1903 .. the best in India and amongst the top 5 in the world that time

A heritage site ... and now after the terrorist attack dis is what is being done to the vision of that man some thing that stood out the test of time so much so that when the new Taj was made the old one was kept as it is as a tribute to the vision of a man that in its tim was the symbol of what being an Indian meant

With it finally reopening today ... wat happened at the end of the whole cycle ... lets see Pakistan hasnt done any thing ... Politicians after a week of "solidarity" are back to "wondering" whether the ATS Chief was killed by people who wer involved with the Malegaon blasts (basically minority appeasement) .. the nerve of these people ... also the house of Major Unnikrishnan was compared to a dogs house within a day of his funeral ... people hav organized candle marches to show solidarity against terror (im with you without a candle march - Peace )
Masood Azhar who was placed under house arrest 2 weeks back by the government .. mite suddenly not even be in Pakistan ... And of course a certain Mr Antulay a union cabinet minister has to open his hole and let all of his frustrated minority vote bank politics come out ... Luckily atleast 2 of the best hotels in Bombay are reopenning ... I now feel that atleast the people who werent personally witness to the incident will feel a little peace ...

A little food for thought if the govt doesnt give a f***k about any one who dies in terror attacks .. insults the famil of someone who gave up his life for the country maybe instead of taking out candle marches people should just vote for a different government ...

Wastedness ... I and II

2008-09-13T04:32:00.000-07:00

Weneva i have to spend a day i am either actually doin something or just drifting along or as i will explain am in a state of Wastedness

There are two kinds of wasted (as i hav come to realize) one is the gud kind wherein u decide that u dont want to do shit ... and keep on goin till u feel totally gone ... start talkin crap , laughin at stuff da wouldnt remotely be funny normanlly nd da best part is others go along and have fun too ...

I was happy being wasted of the first kind the whole of engg till da end wen i had reached da fag end of ma proj

Den i met Wastedness part II and it came back to haunt me in da past few Weeks

Here u wer doin everythin rite .. u want to do things .. lets say u hav to do things ... stuff starts interrupting the time u wer in wasted (da 1st kind) .. u get irritated ... things seem fcked up ... cause u dont want to be wasted but are cause things are not up to u nd others r too slow or cant do the stuff themselves .. things can get worse ? u soon find out smethin u did right got screwed up cause others didnt realize it was ready or simply shit happend u dont know y ... den just wen u least expect it .. u r out of da vicious wastedness II nd back to not doing things at all when u dont want to do them and doing them weneva u actually do !!!

Heres to Wasteness I

Mc Lovin ...

2008-09-10T13:49:00.000-07:00

Superbad was one of the classier movies to release last year. not only was it funny but also wasn't cheap like some of the latter American Pie series. The man who stole the show was Mc Lovin ... The part from where he enters to the fake license rite through the end part where the cops carry hime out frm the part with him showing off his "punk ass" attitude .. just took the movie to another level ...

Look at him go Mc Lovin ..

McLovin quotes

When McLovin makes a fake license id

Evan: You changed your name to McLovin?
Seth: It doesn’t have a first name, it just says McLovin!
Fogell: Well, it was between McLovin or Mohammed.
Seth: Why the f*** would it be between Mohammed or Mclovin?!
Fogell: Mohammed is the most common name in the world, why not read a book ass face
Seth: How many people do you know named Mahhomad?
Fogell: How many people do you know named McLovin?
Seth: Exactly!
Evan: The guys either going think ‘here’s another guy with a fake ID’, or here’s McLovin, 25 year old Hawaiian organ donor.
Fogell: I am McLovin

End of story ... :P

When McLovin is asked about his name by cops

Officer Michaels: McLovin?
Fogell: Yeah.
Officer Michaels: Great name.
Officer Slater: It is, it just rolls of the tongue.
Officer Michaels: ‘Sounds like a sexy hamburger!

About his age ...

"How old are you?"

"old enough?"

"For What?"

"to party"

McLovin the ladies man ...

Story of how he told one of dem ladies the time

"I told her wat time it was cheeka cheeka yea yea"

Officer Michaels: Yeah McLovin, how is it going with the ladies?
Fogell: It’s not the “going” I’m worried about… but the “coming.”

when mclovin walks into the science room;
"gangstas, whats up guys"

This one isnt exactly a quote

Seth: Number 1, you look like a future pedophile on this picture....
Number 2, it doesnt even have a first name, it just says McLovin...

Evan: McLovin? What are you and Irish R'n'B singer?

another un.....
Seth: Why the fuck are you wearin a vest?
Fogell: Im tryna look olderr
Seth: You look like Pinocchio

I guess theres a lil Mc Lovin in all of us ;)

I have to end with another McLovin quote with a link to to get a McLovin id

"Hell ye,show these fukas how we roll"

Mails I got ... that fu*ked my mind .. Part I ... A Cute love story or so he says !!!

2008-09-04T06:50:00.000-07:00

Everyone gets a lil mind fu**ed at work. Its ok ... and everyone gets those spam mails about friendship or a true story about "how in the end we realize it is important to express your love" u know wat i mean .. but this maill dat im about to put up is smething else .. it cracked me up at work and ppl wer wondering why ? jus chk it out ill put forth my thoughts after u ppl read this ...

Subject A cute love story

A BOY HAD CANCER AND HE HAD ONE MONTH TO LIVE.

HE LIKED A GIRL WORKING IN A CD SHOP VERY MUCH.

BUT HE DID NOT TOLD HER ABOUT HIS LUV.

EVERYDAY HE WENT TO THE CD SHOP AND BOUGHT A CD ONLY TO TALK TO HER.

AFTER A MONTH HE DIED.

WHEN THE GIRL WENT HIS HOME AND ASKED ABOUT HIM, HIS MOM TOLD THAT HE DIED AND TOOK HER TO HIS ROOM.....................................

SHE SAW ALL THE CD'S UNOPENED ...............

THE GIRL CRIED N CRIED N FINALLY DIED.

YOU KNOW Y SHE CRIED?

ÇOZ SHE HAD KEPT HER OWN LUV LETTERS INSIDE THE CD PACKS.SHE ALSO LUVED HIM.............

moral of the story:

if u love someone......say to him directly don't wait for the destiny to play the role.............otherwise u will lose that person

**************** The end ***********************************

I put the end so you know that the "cute" love story is over ;)

My thoughts

First of all i dont think the "love story" is cute .. if its a love story at all

One upon a time there was this girl worked at a cd shop and and guy fell for her ... dats a beginning of a love story ...
but this starts of with A BOY HAD CANCER AND HE HAD ONE MONTH TO LIVE ? hmmmm ...

Neways we go on ...

EVERYDAY HE WENT TO THE CD SHOP AND BOUGHT A CD ONLY TO TALK TO HER.

AFTER A MONTH HE DIED.

another abrupt deviation from a love story unless it involves rebirth ;)

WHEN THE GIRL WENT HIS HOME AND ASKED ABOUT HIM, HIS MOM TOLD THAT HE DIED AND TOOK HER TO HIS ROOM

ok its a lil weird but ppl do weirder things "in love" ...

Next sentence

SHE SAW ALL THE CD'S UNOPENED ...............

Ok still in the flow ...

THE GIRL CRIED N CRIED N FINALLY DIED.

a poetic gesture of sadness (cried nd cried ... nd finally died ;) )

Nest sentence

YOU KNOW Y SHE CRIED?

Is this author fu*king with our heads ... i know she cried nd cried .. but she also finally died ... still do we wat to know why she cried ...

his hold over the plot is breath taking ... such a deep philosophy ... so very deep ... that i almost drowned in it !!!

Trip down TV memory lane - Part Two

2008-08-03T13:56:00.000-07:00

Hmmmm ... lets move on to stuff dat i started watching a year later (in 5th standard ;) ) another show dat changed TV forever ... yup and it was all about saving lives !!!
Nope its not ER !!! yup .. im talking bout Baywatch

Let's start trippin ...

I dont think anyone needs to be told about baywatch ... Its another (referring to part one) one of those shows that changed the world !!!

Would u believe it the show originally launched had low TRP (what was wrong with the world ?) .. and David Hasselhoff (of Kight Rider fame before Baywatch) put in his own money and produced the show again .. and it went on to be the most popular show of all time with over 1.1 billion ppl watching it (Redemption ;) LOL) !!!

The plot again was simple a team of lifeguards and their relationships and dangers related to beach and other activities related to the California beach lifestyle. Everything from earthquakes to shark attacks to serial killers, and even nuclear bombs !!!

Let me tell you before I watched the show I thought the show was all bout the beach ...

And later I found out it was all about the beach !!!

I didnt know that Pamela along with a host of other "lifeguards" was later going to be playmates
Infact i didnt know what "being a playmate" implied ... all i know is that lifeguards soon suddenly had different looks while going in to save ppl in danger

Look 1

Look 2

It was like ppl were waiting for some one to drown .. then suddenly the shreiks of the "drowning ppl" would fade and a soft theme dat kinda grows on u started to play ... the lifeguard would suddenly move the float and it would begin ... something that captivated minds of ppl of all ages for the next 10 years !!!

A tanned hot lifeguard ... with exotic oils all aver her (maybe im getting a lil carried away but who cares ... all of u hav been there and dis is a trip down memory lane LOL ) ... fighting against the waves ... aahh .. the pure beauty of it dis would carry on for bout a min so that the camera man could cover almost a ll angles including underwater shots of the "determined" lifeguard ... May the Lord Bless her Soul ... and den suddenly damn da "drowning ppl" enter the scene .. der goes the back ground score ... wish those ppl had actually drowned and the rest of the show would include another 10 lifeguards searching for them ... But the show must go on so the ppl are save or are injured and have to be taken to the hospital .. if they r lucky and the lifeguard feels that she can "resuscitate" the "victim" den der more hope for ppl as it makes more entertainment ... of course ders the usual ... one hot lifeguard cheating on her "best" frndz guy ... and another one consoling her while the "guy" prepares for making a move on dis third chick in the next show ;)

Who cares it made kick ass entertainment ...

Food for thought - not much changed between the 60's and the 90's either its hot women in another planet or hot women on the beach !!!

Ten yrs of this ...

In them we trusted !!!

Den baywatch went to Hawaii change in locale but not in Concept !!!

Men will be Men ;) !!!

Trip down TV memory lane - Part One

2008-08-03T13:06:00.000-07:00

Just looking at da kinda shit dat comes now a days on tv (read my earlier post ;) ) i suddenly thought of da shows dat i was into as a kid ... no im not gonna put a post on shows i saw on cartoon network .. LOL ... dis is before ... when the Indian Govt didnt play "Net Nanny" .. its a pun ... where we could just watch a show .. nd enjoy it

Let da memory ride begin

" Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. "

How cool did dat sound !!! Dats just how is sounds ... even though the show lasted only 3 yrs ... and was made in 1966 (i didnt know it then) ... it still was gud TV in da early nineties ;)

Here's a look at the team of the starship enterprise

Now to da ppl who havnt seen da show (if u all exist !!! watch da show !!! ) here da gist of it
Captain Kirk (William Shatner now in Boston Legal) and his merry men who find new planets on every episode ... they teleport themseleves using laser beams (its so kool considering it was da 60's wen it was made though it still has dat wow factor) to those planets ... which invariably house ppl like humans ... and are almost always welcomed by really hot women (either Amazon women or women from the Garden of Eden or sumthing lik dat ) yup ders a plot beyond these factors ... LOL ... der r laser guns .. fights ... aliens sometimes ... no gross makeup (according to these ppl the final frontier has hot women and earth like planets in abundance only a shortage of men ... not bad is it ? ) ... fights and a hurried escape to go back to the Star Ship Enterprise ... really cool space ship ... may be a few injuries to the team but its all cool in the end ...

The comic timing between Captian Kirk and Spock is really something that took this show to the next level ...

For all those non believers ...

And this was the in the 60's ... A tribute to a show that went by its tagline "to boldly go where no man has ever gone before" ..

We are all Stars !!! Celebs and Reality Shows

2008-07-29T02:11:00.000-07:00

One of the most irritating things nowadays is the TV coverage so called "celebs" get .. with interviews on channels .. sme even at prime time ... ma favourite part (i know i said irritating one sentence back but wen u r forced to watch so much shit on TV i guess u start enjoying it in a rebel sort of way .. neways back to da post :) ) "aap apne itne sare fans ka kya kehna chahenge ?" ... LOL ... even their faces show the shock at being asked such a wierd question .. for gods sake they just starred on some lame soaps on lamer TV channels and TV channels like aaj tak , zoom etc air this shit cause ... they r the lamest of them all !!!

I admit that i havn't watched a full show of any of the soaps (I swear its true but still watching a few mins of this is enough for me) ppl watch what they like ... but come on ... celebs r celebs ... they r ppl whom the paparzzi writes stuff about ... they try nd get away from the media ... play hard to get ... ppl want to read abt them ... their make ups, break ups ... they give livelyhood to a lot of ppl who "know" them ... like the VH1 sideys in the Fabulous life .. they have big houses ... small puppy dogs that they carry in expensive hand bags ... surely they dont try and kill each other on "Nach Baliye" !!!

Der are so many channels dat many more celebs are required for all of the shows .. more ever each show requires atleast 5 judges so even music directors who have written 2 songs or a director of a flop movie is called for the show ... nd some old faded away movie star is the hostess ... and poof ... lo behold a reality show is ready for another unknown channel...

Corollary for calling judges

1. Incase of da jodi reality shows
Number of Judges = Number of Jodis + or - number of hosts in the show

2. Incase of the infamous talent hunt shows
Number of Judges = (Number of Individual Contestants) /2 + or - number of hosts in theshow

Please note now teams have Indian name like gharanas ... and the hosts of the shows are always smiling ... some use adjectives like "wonderful wonderful" (yup 2 times .. always 2 times) any where in any situation eg. Contestant has finished a wonderful wonderful performance (oops sorry) ... or contestant has just won the grand finals of the show and da host uses wonderful to describe the cheque ... lol .. even if a fight breaks out either between the judges or the contestants .. sorry there is not if but a when and how many times dis happens will be known to regular viewers only (i have viewed dem a few times and my views are hopefully clear on the subject )
I dont want to drag dis discussion in to judge and host slandering ... judges use "sur" and "taal" just like college ppl use da word "f*ck" in sentences .. also all judges praise the contestants and give each contestant 8 or 9 or 10 .. (judges these are not the board exams ;) )

With release of every movie we have special guests .. who give their opinion after every performance ... and whenever a contestant sings a song featuring the "special guest" ... da guest come ahead dancing with the contestant !!!

Ofcourse someday judges will randomly make a contestant cry for a performance that to us according to their high standards would at least get them an 8 ... even their brains go numb thinking they just sang their usual nd now suddenly all judges r jumping on dem (hence da crying) .. ofcourse we will find out in the next episode that for a similar performance that he/she was made to cry now all the judges come on stage to dance on an equally horrible performance ... making judging an absolute waste on the show ... one thing i wonder is why the judges are required since neways the shows are decided by the audience vote ... hmmmmmm

still THEY ARE ALL STARS ...

Diceliving and other things

Posts regarding books that ppl write tend to be ... like reviews given sum vh1 critic in shows like "the fabulus life" ... so i tht i'd just be real nd tell u sme thing abt a cult book that i read ... after a thinking for a really long time i decided to start off with "The Dice Man" … i never thought that books really provide anything other than say a lil entertainment and thats wat is really important… to be entertained … I read this old book called The Dice Man. The book tells the story of a psychiatrist named Luke Rhinehart who, feeling bored and unfulfilled in life, starts making decisions about what to do based on a roll of a die…. this concept is what diceliving is all about … As this book went into the darker side of life and into “evil crimes” that keep happening in our lives it was banned in a lot of countries … including ours that added a new thrill level while reading the book ;) … as i kept reading the book … which kept reaching fascinating somewhat insane levels of thinking with a lot of reality in it … i realized that sometimes the most unreal and out of the world ideas when put across in the right way can be really convincing ….

Just so that u get a bit of where im at here’s how the book ends

“One day when Luke was being chased by two FBI men with .45s he came to a cliff and leapt off. Just catching the roof to a wild vine twenty yards below the ridge and dangling there.Lookin down he saw fifty feet below six policemen with machine guns, mace, tear gas cannisters and 2 armoure cars.Just above him he saw two mice, one white and one black beginning to gnaw away at the vine to which he clung.Suddenly he saw just in front of him a cluster of luscious strawberries.

“Ah,” he said. ‘A new option’.

I love watching movies and was jus going through the usual stuff the action,romance,comedies some even on drugs, some with messages in them , some that are really slickly made let us say there are films that come and go like the Americn Pie series i think the 7th one is on the floor then there are ones on wars and what not but it was when i saw A Clockwork Orange that i realized that some movies are made just to show the evil darker part in all of us Normally good triumphs over evil and we all move on to the next flick

Rarely have i seen a flick where the dark side so shamelessly overpowers the good side.The director Stanley Kubrick (who is fast becoming one of my favourite directors cause of all the genres he has successfully covered) has skillfully covered the journey of a delinquent young man Alex in futuristuc Britain in the picture above who commits all kinds of perverted crimes with his gang .. he is jailed send for rehabilitation and then comes out reformed (or not) …

The music has been used effectively in this movie and the the theme song really sets the mood of the movie .. its dark and futuristic

Scenes from the movie are classy like one where Alex is in jail and the preacher is preaching abt the part when Jesus carries the cross before the crucification and the Romans are whipping him and he begs the Lord to forgive humanity for what they are doing … and all the other inmates arent paying attention to the preacher but Alex is closing his eyes and smiling … The preacher thinks that alex is say “coming in the presence of the lord” … but actually Alex is dreaming of himself being the Roman who’s actually whipping Jesus !!!

The sheer notority of the film makes it worth a watch though the british accent gets to you a bit … Some people mite not like it because as i said in this movie evil rules !!! But if you are a movie buff and dont want to miss a movie in a genre that has not been made before go for this one …
