America has hanged its destiny

I read the news about Saddam Hussein been executed and couldn't help but feel pangs of anger & disappointment for the way Saddam was treated. India has lost its only friend in the Muslim world and who supported us on the Kashmir issue. Though I won't call Saddam a martyr, I would definitely call George Bush a blasphemous murderer! I firmly believe that Saddam Hussein did not get a fair trial & that with so much instability in Iraq, such a step should not have been taken. America has installed puppet governments in Afghanistan and Iraq and the world knows how functional and independent they are! George Bush tried to play the role of unilateral global enforcer in those countries first, where he systematically screwed up things and now he's doing it in Iran and North Korea. These countries have equal rights to use nuclear technology for civilian purposes (so does India) and its military use must be curbed by IAEA and the UN. Not America. He has no business doing that when there are other agencies to do that job with global consensus. Let me say that America is not responsible for hanging Saddam. America has hanged its destiny. This moment is ominous of the approaching downfall of America. The bullying that the world is been subject to by America has today reached unforeseen magnitude and I have no doubt that America will not be able to sustain this attitude for long. The future is in Asian hands and I clearly foresee an America twenty-five years hence in a state that Briton is in now. Gone are the days for the Great Britannia of 1900s when it was THE superpower and dominated the globe. George Bush is taking America to share the same fate of erstwhile British Empire.
Mr. Bush, just wait and see as India and Asia leap ahead and form an Asian Superpower, not to dominate or be dominated by anyone but which would derive its power from trade, commerce and well being of global humanity, not selfishness, imperialism and bullying.
I look forward to the return of India's golden days in near future which were snatched away by Imperial Britannia only to cast her into the gutters of ignominy.
Long Live India. Long Live Asia. Down with George Bush.

I AM IN DUDE!!

Ok. Mood Indigo rocks baby! i think we (vivek & I) are one pair of true rock fans....true to the core! while ppl plan days before & make advanced arrangements for entry, we, like the true shameless gatecrashing rockers that we're, decided one night before, that we're going to Mood Indigo. No arrangements for entry. no passes. the show was to start at 6:00pm. we reached the place at 6:30PM. (that too with no passes. only our college IDs! i just dunno know how d hell did we expect 2 get in!! LOL!!) we also had a serious altercation with the rickshaw-wala on our way...its a different but interesting story. tell u some other time! LOL!!

Vivek had his bro inside (who'd come at 1pm with his frends), who somehow managed to get barely one pass for him. so now i was alone on my quest for a source of entry into the rock heaven!

with a dilema facing us as to the best (& easiest) route to "get in", we started considering various options:
1) try convincing d guards
2) look for some1 with extra passes (so foolish of us!)
3) scan the entire stretch of the road if someone had mistakenly dropped their passes! (hehehe! silly na! but AFTER d show was over, we did find two VALID passes lying nearby!)
4) snatch passes (n run!) from ppl standing in dark & carrying 'em carelessesly in their hands!
5) calling up a friend from IIT if he cud help (the dumbass was one darpoke who was sitting at home!)
6) ask ANYONE with an IIT volunteer's badge dangling around their neck if he cud do something
7) beg

After i'd exhausted all the options above, i then started to roam around in the IIT campus (with vivek standing in queue) and listen to other ppl's conversations to see if "kuch jugaad ho sakta hain kya" and if i cud find a suitable bakra. the conversations were interesting too! i found a guy who's gal had ditched him and he was siting dejected outside the gate and begging on d fone to his sweetheart to make her way there somehow! i was ashamed to ask him for his extra pass. i moved on & found this gal with two passes waiting for another gal! d gal was damn beautiful and i found this a good opportunity to talk to her. i asked her if i cud have that extra pass (shit! how cud i do it?!!) she gave me such a deadly look dat i took off without saying a single word! All this while, i was scanning d road (in vain) for some mistakenly dropped passes! i even mistook some pieces of paper as passes! but i saved myself from public embarrassment by not picking them up! but i cudn't help staring at those pieces of paper for a long time & at last ascertained that they were not the sought after passes by pretending to bend down to tie my shoe lace and taking a closer look in the mean while! (LOL!!) then there wer other perverts who had extra passes but wudn't give 'em to me. they'd only give to good looking babes! (neither am i good looking nor a babe!)
Thus was my quest for a pass moving on when vivek msgd me & said that the checking inside was not THAT strict n i had fair chances of getting in WITHOUT a pass!
so without hesitation, i jumped d queue (while d others had been standing for hours, that too WITH their passes!!) and got thru d 1st check point (posing as if i was talking on my fone & was too busy to take out my pass from d pocket!)
bingo! Thru with Level-1! but to my disappointment, there was another check point ahead. And as per Newton's FOURTH law, every1 else without a pass wont be asked 4 one, but just when u arrive, d guards change and he asks to see only ur pass. dats wat happnd 2 me. I tried that fone wala trick again but d guard perhaps knew dat trick. he waited and asked for the pass again! i said something like "hey listen. i'll call u later" and pretended to disconnect my fone call!! (LOL!!) & then told him my group of frends had all our passes and they were all inside! u think he'd take that argument? No way! i was thrown outta the queue just when i'd reached the entrance! damn my luck! just then i observed that i was not alone! there were many more shameless ones like me, standing outside dejected! but im one persistent gatecrasher! i struck a conversation with some of those good-for-nothing outcasts standing shamelessly outside the entrance (after been ejected from d queue!) and i came across this rare guy who had a pass, but not his college ID. (u needed both! i had only my college ID! LOL!!) i grabbed the opportunity. abb toh bakre ko halaal kar ke hi rahenge! LOL!! I put my hand around this guy's shoulder and explained (!!LOL!!) to him how it was no use now and without his college ID, he JUST wont be able to get in! I then suggested "hey dude! y dont u give ur pass to some1 who needs it yaar! afterall now its of no use to u!!) with a lil bit of my convincing and nakli sympathizing skills, (remember, im naklistani, rite?!) i extracted his entry pass, sent him home packing, wishing him good night, forgetting in the mean while 2 thank him! (i regret it though) and jumped the queue (once again! LOL!!) right near the entrance! & within 5 minutes, I WAS IN!! just minutes after vivek!
i called up vivek, but with d blaring music, he cudnt hear his fone ringing.
i SMSed him.........."I AM IN DUDE!!"

PS: just in case u like Parikrama, (they'd performed at Mood-I yesterday) u can visit their website for some free music downloads here.

Mera toh bad luck hi kharab hain!

With the longest ever hiatus in my exam schedule, i'd taken up chatting as a full time vocation (read addiction!). Thats when i came across this gal on yahoo chat! Now d circumstances in which we first started our conversation, I can best describe as lustfully clandestine (atleast on my part!). she was always d decent one who always resisted my attempts to woo her by my shady punchlines! And boy oh boy! did i succeed? Well, i dunno, but she did! in reforming(?) me!! (bolne ko kya jata hain! hehehe!!)

So here I stand, throwing kisses in air, jubiliant at my new found lifestyle, full of stupid dialogues, lots of silly hindi sprinkled in between my lines ("sahi na?", "ye ye ye!", "bol na!", "kya re!" and stuff like that! just imagine!) and playing a silly score game with that yahoo wali girl.

Then the internet account at her place expired (atleast dats wat she tells me. heheheh) and i was out of business (of pakaugiri!). This was d ominous start of my downfall!

Now my (so called) friends on Orkut know me as the flamboyant(?) pic changer! with each passing day, my pictures get sillier than before! So here i was, metamorphosing continuously from Vic Rattlehead (Megadeth Mascot) to Eddie T.H. (Iron Maiden) to Rajnikanth(!) to a beggar(!) and now finally into a darn bloody old man! LOL!!

And while i was in my Rajnikanth avatar, i was so mesmerised that i actually started using that crazy accent (yenderstyaand? you byetter yenderstyaand!) and scrapped almost every1 with those stupid oneliners! then getting bored of my stupidity, i'd become a lil sober 4 a while (1/2 a day! LOL!!) But God almighty nowadays cant see me sober i guess! lightening struck me and the Evil spirit of Mithun Chakraborty entered my mortal form and took me over for two full days! The demonic spirit compelled me to add to my collection of B graded movies, this feather in crown, 'GUNDA', which boasts of dazzling performances by critically acclaimed artists from Bollywood! Characters like "Kafanchor Neta", "Bulla" (Main rakhta hoon khulla!), "Ibu Hatela" (Maa meri chudail, baap mera shaitan ka chela!), "Potey (jo apne baap ke bhi nahi hotey!)" and Laambu Ataa are unique to this Mithun Movie! And Shakti Kapoor's character is called...... ummmm..... well, i think u shud find it out yourselves! (Conservative gals, please avoid!) i dont think it'd be appropriate to mention it here! (Censored!) those of u interested may visit the totally uncensored Gunda Fan club community on orkut for more fun! (u can find it in my community list).

So thats how i was rolling in heavenly bliss(?!!) when the deadly weapon of cruel fate struck me! the 800MB 'Gunda' download costed me almost a week of online time! My internet account experienced untimely expiry due to excess downloading! One full week before the due date! Thats when i undertook Operation Coverup! i had to convince my dad that i actually needed things that i downloaded! Some harmless white lies and false promises (heheheh! cant help it yaar! im a born cunning jackal!) made the job easier though! With the connection renewed, now im downloading movies called "Billa no. 786" and "Sadak ka Sikandar", only at nights! (unlimited downloads between 10pm and 8am u see!)

But again thats when i suffered another stroke of cruel fate...yet again! Realization dawned upon me that I had exams only one day after and i'd spent all my useful(?) time on idle online chatting! and here i now was, on my way to exam hall with no proper study and memories of dat yahoo-wali gal i used 2 chat with!

With one full night spent in frantically turning pages of my illegible notes and incomplete xerox copies of somebody else's notes, i somehow mustered up d courage to face my dad in morning (bleary eyed!) who wished me luck (dat i felt i desperately needed) and left for work! And boy! was the exam tough? i mean wat yaar? was that an exam? if thats wat they ask in exams, then i realised that i certainly didnt need to break my head studying! my paper was a cake walk & then i actually realised (or shud i say remembered?) that i was a Supergenius!

So with exams over i now believed (falsely, which i later realised!) my share of bad luck was also over! but no! not at all! how cud i expect it so easy?! my friend vivek (A@$h#@e) called up n informed that college was starting from 2nd January! hmmmmmmm. i shud've expected that! the misery never seemed to end!

Just when depression cud devour me, Gods came to my rescue! Gods of Heavy Metal! I remembered wat Metallica once said.... Come Carpe Diem Baby!(translated, Come Enjoy the present, baby!) Vivek (ok baba. ur not an A@$h#@e!) called up and asked if we cud go to Mood Indigo tomorrow evening. Its d concluding night and the rock scene there is legendary! with no passes and no idea as to how we're gonna gain entry, we'll head for IIT Powai! (yeah. we're jackasses. but then, Long Live Rock!!)

So till tonite here i am, again on a prowl for shikar on the internet (dats how the yahoo chat wali ladki puts it!). The Yahoo gal writes to me regularly! LOL! life is beautiful! im in love yaar! WITH MYSELF! im cool!!LOL! a million times!!

Looking forward to d evening at Mood Indigo...(bas popat nahi hona chahiye yaar!)

Ok. so now while i was about to post this stuff, vivek called up and informed that he has an interview scheduled. so now our plans for Mood Indigo Rock Evening seem dicey!

Lekin phir bhi...Looking Ahead! (life is beautiful!!).....!!
