little by little

Whenever i hear this song from Oasis, i just shake my head in confirmity of the thoughts expressed. I should quote the lyrics to substantiate what i am saying.

"We the people fight for our existence
We don't claim to be perfect
But we're free
We dream our dreams alone
With no resistance
Fading like the stars we wish to be

You know I didn't mean
What I just said
But my God woke up
On the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now

Cos little by little
We gave you everything
You ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life
Have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You're really here

True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
The day has come
And now you'll have to accept
The life inside your head we give to you

You know I didn't mean
What I just said
But my God woke up
On the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now

Cos little by little
We gave you everything
You ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life
Have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You're really here
Hey

Little by little
We gave you everything
You ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wheels of your life
Have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You had to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You're really here
Why am I really here?
Why am I really here?"

The topsy-turvy ride...

It has been a topsy-turvy ride till MHROD. Though my penchant for following my interests have brought along with them amazing experiences but they also did bring rigor and setbacks. During my Engineering itself i felt a missing element or for that matter a drive to look forward to my professional aspirations. It all started with renunciation of what was offered at the placements and persuing my interest in HR. My work as a training and placement officer reinforced my convictions in HR as my favorite destination. This year's preperation to get an institution for my formal education in the same made me realised the importance of being focused. Of all the interview experiences, which includes xlri-hr, i found the MHROD people were doing a much more precise selection.
The green ambience of DSE gave me a reminiscent of an ideal place for education much away from the hype & hoopla and the comparisions. I loved the way they respect merit and embrace the cradle of leadership while making the education pure, crystal , genuine and non-commercial.
I just cant wait to take a feel of RTL and the campus as a proud student of MHROD.

Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind-A movie

I m posting some dialogues that i liked personally, enjoy:

Clementine: You know me, I'm impulsive.
Joel: That's what I love about you.

..............................................................................................
Joel: I can't see anything that I don't like about you.
Clementine: But you will! But you will. You know, you will think of things. And I'll get bored with you and feel trapped because that's what happens with me.
Joel: Okay.
Clementine: [pauses] Okay.

Can we un-learn something..

Just finished this movie- Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. Theme explores a perceived troubled relationship and a fictitious  possibility of unlearning the past memories good and bad about it. Prima facie, the concept looks to be interesting and what is more intense is the fact, the more you romanticize with the idea of eliminating or being consciously forgetting certain events which are emotional, you tend to get more and more intertwined in them.
Such is the nature of human psyche. Most people get this trouble with answering the question which is the most important one.
ARE YOU SURE?
This cannot be answered in white and black. Of course the rational process of answering the same is weighing the pros and cons, but in personal relation context the answer must be influenced with instincts. Yes and this is some rationale attached to it.
So the way entire film is arranged is true art. Fragments of memories- incidences; some of them very intense and intimate. Those which can be understood only by experiencing, just like meditation. I can just describe how it feels but can never make you understand.
p.s.- You can just nod the head that you understand but in real you don't have a clue about it.

Raja Hindustani, Dr. Dang, Mr. India, Mugambo, Jindal Saab, Vijay Dinanath Chouhan.....

Happy thenku memsaab, Imaandar Policewala, Lalchi seth, wafadar dost, boodhi maa and natkhat choti behna... i dont know where all these cliched lines have gone. The problem with love- hate relation with all these things is that, when you are surrounded by them you are oximoronated by them but when they are gone you suddenly start to miss them. I think all those who live on a dream will be quite interested in stories and cinema. But there is a common problem with us. We just cant get enough. Very greedy people and believe in volumes. Given an option to have one candy of rs.20 and two candies of rs.10; we may go for 2 of them. It is a very common thing with kids if you watch them closely.
They prefer having 10 crayons of different colours than having 5 sketch pen untill and unless they dont see that the other kid is having a lot of fun with only 5 pens.

Even i did use this technique to manipulate my guileless little brother. But then he too got educated about this thing very soon. But those were different days and very hearty is the feeling to remember about those things. Earliar we used to fight over a cassette of Lucky Ali that my friend gave me. He strarted brawling about he having the same and another one. It was useless to have 2 cassettes of same kind when they play exactly the same music with one tape recorder to play at the same time!
Now when he called me yesterday that he was listening to Lucky Ali and about how he is missing home, we remembered that thing and had quite a laugh.

I remember how in the first year when mobile was a new hit with 1 paisa tarrif overnight and some of us really did some notorious activity with the thing. Prank calls at airtel, friends' friend and stuff.
“ Hello”
“ Main Jindal bol raha hoon mohra se”
“ Kya... kaun hai”
“ Kya aap andhe hai”
“ Abe kaun hai”
“ Tu cheez badi hai mast mast lala la la la la mast”

Another one..

“Hello”
“ Haan kaun hai itni raat ko”
“ Ji main airtel customer care se bol raha hun sir”
“ raat ko 2 baje”
“ Ji sir yeh hamari muft sewa hai, jisme hum grahkoon ko yaad dilate hain if they had urinated before going to bed.”
“ What?”
“ Yes sir it is important, otherwise you may wet the bed”
“ What the @#@#$#$#@”
“ Sir kya aap hamari sewaoin se santust hai?”


A dozen others but we did used a lot of cliched characters from bollywood to accomplish the task. My favorites were Raja Hindustani- 'U cum cum memsaab' and Jindal from Mohra.

Now when such films are not made which had left a strong impression on my mind, i wonder what will be the shape of future and the stereotypes. ;)

NOSTRADAMUS, NUKE BOMBS, TSUNAMIS, TORNADOS

Do you think the above four words have some relationship among them?
Yeah- Annihilation...
Its 41 degrees here in the afternoon. All the cooling mechanism seems to be failing and i just cant get naked because of usual constraints. I want to dive in a pool of cold water and want a sip of pinacolada by the stairs!
This is the moment of trush and i am an escapist. Yes i will not take it any more. I want a
'barf ka gola', actually a dozen of them. Oh, i dont care about the flavors. No time for such niceties. I want to spent next of my evening under the showers and sing lound the coldplay. Give me some rainful, but on the TV they say, its just getting started. I have the may and the freaking june. July will give some rain. But how to get accross these 60 fkn freaking days.
Nostradamus says that world will end in 2012 december. If that be true, even if by chance, lets say .001 percent then what am i gonna do? I dont belive mayan calendar and who cares if they dont make 2013th. Nothing helps, not even this gibberish is helping to keep my mind off.
Ok end of discussion i m going to play some pool and then aoe on coputer and then i ll buzz offf. What teh heck this bloddy keoyborad!



A date with Witch!

How can i be sure that am not willfully malignant of my own self?
No i cant be sure. Actually no one is really.. So i have make right choices when i dont have a clue about what is right and for that matter.. wrong. Umm hm ya ..no.. i mean yes. That right.
You know, forget about it. The questions that i must really ask my self should be like- Am i being an asshole. I am a ignorant narcissist who some times plays with the idea that he is gift to the mankind?
Yup.. pretty considerate of you to think about me on those lines.
See understand this.
Life is too short and i dont even know about reincarnation and its veracity. No one does. So i suggest you life this thing for once and dont think that you're going to invent a time machine to make this possible. At least i gave up on this idea a long long time ago. Watching Discovery is just vicarious fun and physics is good for nothing because it tells you why things happen but cant alter the sequence of them happening.
So should i go to Himalaya and live a renunciated life. I can get Shiva there and then thing about destroying; so two destructive souls meet up and also are equally interested in poison.
Its funny sometimes and i m sure you might have experienced this that we feel that why can we have normal lives when we live the most common live of all the masses. Its just we like some uniqueness to ourselfes. You dont believe it. I tell you what is not common.
The Royal Wedding's budget is 20 million pounds which is altogether much more than poor guy anna hazare is wanting to make Government accountable.
Gaddafi's private bodyguards consists of 40 most beautiful women on the earth.
And his son roams in a private jet around the world with 10 million dollars in cash for itinary.
This is what we call abnormal.. my friends. Got it the defintion of abnormal. So next time we feel that nothing is normal with us, kindly ponder on this data and you will be in great relief.
Stick to murphy's law and you will do just fine.And in the meanwhile i ll enjoy my date with a witch tonight and wanna know who is that. I will find out today when i do some haunted housing midnight with some buddies.
p.s.- ' i really miss that kiddo girl, i once met.'
