In my head........

Those of who have ever gone through my blog will probably realize that , I blog rarely.This is the reason why...

7:57 am
I am awake. I have not slept well.
Lost by coldplay plays in the background, I blink in the dark. It takes a few moments for me to process that my phone is ringing. I stumble across the room and mutter a groggy 'hello?'. I hear Tamil music and the vodafone bitch starts talking about a new offer. I swear at the vodafone bitch and hang up...

8:15 am
I am sweaty. My throat hurts and I feel very feverish. My nose is clogged and my eyes are watering. This does not look good, I decide to get up and get on with the morning rituals. Its just 8:17 am and the sun is blazing through a crack in my makeshift curtains. I am still very sweaty. I stumble across the room(again) and switch on the A.C

8:25am.
I feel a little better, but throat still hurts. Nose is still clogged. I read the paper, same old same old nothing new. I see the time 8:30am. The mess closes in another half an hour....

9:25am.
I am freezing, the A.C. is on full blast and I missed breakfast, not for the first time. I dont know where time went, I go online....I am immersed in the world wide web...God bless the internet.

11:20am
I am shivering. I switch off the A.C. and contemplate studying...actually opening my books and reading them....after lunch...probably........maybe. Lunch is in another hour or so...

1:00pm
I have class in another hour. I actually managed to have lunch for a change. My books lay forgotten. I feel very sleepy, I fight with my conscience to bunk. My conscience wins....


5:00pm
My head is throbbing from a lack of sleep( I think). My eyes are still watery and a machine gun couldn't pierce my nose, its that blocked. i have only one class remaining I dont think I can make it through... I decide to bunk the last class....

5:10pm
"Class has been canceled......." I dont wait to hear the rest I am running toward the nearest pharmacy for some medicine....


6:00pm
I feel better but I have lots of assignments to complete....and some papers to submit. I make the mistake of switching on my laptop...

9:00pm
I finally start my stupid assignments... it takes a while but I eventually complete it, Its been a tiring day...I switch on my laptop to watch a movie....

11:00pm
I am finally asleep....


7:00am
I am awake... I have not slept well...



You see how mundane my existence is..?? Its a wonder I am able to blog at all in such conditions...

I am not a Bollywood fan...... I had given up on Bollywood 10-15 years ago.... but ever since coming to college there are times when boredom gets the better of you. I have been seeing an occasional movie here and there and I have noticed a rather funny trend.

No its not the increased sex, or the better depiction of foreigners or the improved scientific accuracy. It is in fact the increase in the alcohol usage in Bollywood. Not since "sharabi(1970-80something) " has alcohol been so hip and cool. Just watch any movie in the last 2 years keeping in mind what i said.

I honestly think its genius I mean what else do indian kids do today that their parents did back in their time. What else gets into their psyche better than Bollywood, it influences fashion, language, and opinion and caters to one of the largest audience in the world.

So by showing actors guzzling down industrial quantities of alcohol and having fun doing it. They are giving subtle hints to everyone to drink. Forget the political incorrectness and admire the genius of it all.....it almost makes me want to watch Bollywood again ......a-l-m-o-s-t.....lol

About me

Since social networking sites are the only reliable sites i can go to with my damn internet connection which at times is super fast or else so slow i burst blood vessels out of frustration.

I have browsed quite a few profiles out pure boredom, and read some really nice "about me(s)" (you know the column where you fill one or two lines about your self) and purely out of boredom i shall post them here where you people who have visited this site, again purely out of boredom can read them.

If you read yours here,then you know i liked it. (ALL NAMES HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH "*")


- Joblessness is now part of who i am..

-******** has not created a profile yet. Maybe tomorrow. Yeah, maybe he's a chronic procrastinator. Or just really, really shy. Sadly, the world may never know. Maybe....

-Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me....

-I make stuff, actually I make up stuff, stories mostly, collaborations of thoughts, dreams, and actions. Thats me.

-I make sexy time (its borat)

-44th president of the united states....(this one actually made me laugh)

Lump

Do you know that lump in your throat that just appears in sad moments? You try and try to swallow but it just doesnt go. It invariably ends in at least some moisture in your eyes.

I was recently visited by a really stubborn cousin of the usually easily subduable version of the lump that appears in my throat. This (please enter any swear word of your choice) lump appeared while i was watching this movie called grave of the fireflies.

What a movie it was !!!. This movie is an absolutely awesome and a very touching depiction of world war II japan.Its the story of two kids and how they fight for survival in those depressing times. Wonderful voice over acting and a really fluid animation style makes you forget that you are watching an animated feature. Since its so damn good i will not divulge in any spoilers. I will only say that i would recomend it to anyone.period!

Well anyway this lump appeared and just refused to go. I fought it desperately and even shed a tear but it had to take an entire bar of chocolate and a season of scrubs before I could talk properly again.

Man who came the closest to inspiring me.....

I'm sure everyone reading this would have had someone give them a speech about someone else in a lot of adversity, overcoming odds and finally suceed in whatever they set out to do, to inspire you to do better in life.

Like everyone else i have had many many people try to motivate me,to be honest it has never really worked (I'm lazy). However there was the story of one person whose determination really inspired me...well to some extent anyway...

The man's name is Larry Flynt.
Those of whom who know this man is might not really like him to be fair i dont really like him as well... but i do respect his determination.
Those of whom who don't know this colourful figure well .... here goes..this man sells pornography,the most explicit type too,he is the owner of the infamous hustler magazine.

If you are wondering what about him inspired me ( i must agree inspire is too strong a word to be used here...but I couldn't think of anything else) here it is....

He worked 20 hours a day in his bar staying awake by taking amphetamines,and using its profits he started his own chain.

During an oil crisis in the 70's he converted his then failing newspaper into the magazine it is today, the most famous issue being one, with the then first lady Jacqueline Kennedy!

Later on there was an attempted assassination against him, during his legal struggles against obscenity charges.Which was followed by a stroke caused due to an overdose of analgesics. Despite all this he continued his legal battle and ultimately won several of the legal battles he had to face.

Today due the effects of the stroke,he is paralyzed waist down,despite this he still continues to sell his very controversial magazine.


So maybe he is not role model material.... and what he does well..its still under debate whether its right or wrong... but what determination and guts !.

some quotes from this man

"Politics is my hobby. Smut is my vocation"

"The only question to ask yourself is, how much are you willing to sacrifice to achieve this success? "

"There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums."

"If the human body's obscene, complain to the manufacturer, not to me."

"Murder is illegal. But, you take a picture of somebody committing the act of murder and they'll put you on the cover of Newsweek. You might even win a Pulitzer Prize. And yet . . . sex is legal. Everybody's doing it, or everybody wants to be doing it. Yet, you take a picture of two people in the act of sex of just take a picture of a woman's naked body and they'll put you in jail."

Most Unsung Heroes in fiction

Most Unsung Heroes (in fiction)

These are the top 5 characters who did all the work,in various works of fiction but someone else (mostly the hero) ended up getting the credit.



5.Luigi from Super Mario
I never knew why this character was made in the first place .... Mario and Princess Peach were the couple, he is supposed to be Mario's brother and you can finish the game with him but the princess always goes to Mario ...sad !!!



4.Alphonse Elrich from Full Metal Alchemist
This guy was turned from a ten year old boy into a suit of armour by his own brother.He could have cried,gotten angry and never talked to his brother again,instead he helps his brother in every way possible ...and ....OK..OK NO SPOILERS..





3.Trinity from the Matrix
Neo is the one..he will save us all...blah ...blah..blah but who saved him at least a bazillion times in the movie.Martial arts,bikes and some very quotable dialogues...This babe did them all ..



2.Hermoine Granger
Let me tell you, if she wasnt there Voldemort would have taken over the world very very easily..from the first book onwards she was always the trump card for Harry Potter,be it making the polyjuice potion,fighting the devil's snare,making Harry pass in his exams,........etc etc..


1. Sam Gamgee from LOTR
This was one character i definitely thought could have got more credit he literally... dragged frodo's ass up mount doom,only for frodo to say something stupid like "the ring is mine"..
He even kills shelob ... showing he fights decently too,a complete team man and as well as a familiy man who rebuilds the entire shire single handedly..

A more fitting end would have been Sam finding out that Frodo was not planning to throw the ring and throwing Frodo with the ring into the crack of doom and coming out as the hero...hehe

Opinions of mine you probably disagree with...

Opinions of mine you probably disagree with...

1.The 9/11 attacks was an inside job.
Yes i believe in the conspiracy theory,it may not be entirely the government's fault but lot of unsolved mysteries exist.

2.Love is overrated
It is just a mixture of hormonal effects and survival instinct to continue the species. Generally felt when looking for the ideal mate(i.e always).

3.Anime is better than Bollywood
On an average it has better plotlines,better concepts,more well rounded characters.(im talking about the ones ive seen,and ive seen a lot of both)

4.Arsene Wenger is the best manager in the world.
ok..ok..i am a gooner(for those who are ignorant ...gooner is an arsenal fan) but so what?? he is the only manager who looks for profit during transfers, and prefers to develop young players instead of buying stars, i respect and admire that.

5.Mainstream pop sucks
I have got to agree that the songs are good(once in a while),but often the lyrics are written by some one else and music is composed by some else entirely the wrong people get the credit,That sucks.
