pubs and pubs and more pubs

just got only one thing in mind to talk about the silicon valley of India, Bangalore. The growth of IT companies in this city can be compared to the growth of pubs in this city. as soon as you leave the cosy comforts of your house and move past various crosses in this city you will certainly find another cosy place with great music in store along with things that levitate the "spirits". visiting these holy places of Bangalore will certainly take you closer to god and make you realise that heaven does exist on earth and that too in every nooks and corner of this holy place. and believe me that the weekends bring in devotees in huge numbers to participate in the holy activities. this place has great influence on atheist, who after seeing such devotion of people to the sacred places can't stop himself turning into a beleiver. well just hoping this devotion continues to grow as much as it can so that the city will look like a big holy place.

Society

It's a mystery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed

You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

there's those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like its starting from the top
you can't do that...

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Awesomeness

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him; The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft interred with their bones, So let it be with Caesar ... The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answered it ... Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest, (For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all; all honourable men) Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral ... He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man…. He hath brought many captives home to Rome, Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And, sure, he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then to mourn for him? O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason…. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me.

procrastination at its zenith

why should i do it and if i do it will it be of any use? leave aside doing it today there's lot of time and why not do it tomorrow. someone has rightly said," You may delay, but time will not". i may not be sure of anything else but one thing is for certain that i have evolved as a great procrastinator in the last few years . the situation has exacerbated and has begun to affect my day to day life. there is not a single day that goes by without delaying things. nothing seems to rejuvenate me and bring back myself to non procrastinating state. so leaving myself to the very same state and ending with the words of don marquis who said,"Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday"

the road not taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

...Robert Frost

jinhe naaz hai hind pe woh kahan hai....

with reinvigorated spirits today the nation celebrates 60th republic day but one question that needs an answer is that, is it worth the celebrations or is it just to commemorate the republic notion of our country. sad to say but the fact is, not much has changed and seeing the present state of affairs nothing more can be expected. the way things are moving at snails pace it would take centuries for our country to get rid of all the evils that plague our society. the gap between the rich and poor will be perpetual and poverty will be ubiquitous. education is still not reachable to everyone and scenario of unemployment has exacerbated. are we going to move on like this? do we need to think on this? is this not our duty ? being responsible citizens it is but who says we are responsible..we are mere selfish beings who are busy in the race to outrun each other forgetting that there is a beautiful country out there which looks forward to us to do something for it . whatever be it but we are a patriotic lot and never miss on days like these to show our patriotism by visiting flag hoisting ceremonies and listening patriotic songs and then give a damn for rest of the days until another republic day comes. i'd rather prefer not to attend these ceremonies to show my false patriotism and take it as just another holiday because that would be like being one side of the coin rather than trying to be both .

the impromptu nature of my life

here i am very close to the end of my graduation and nothing seems to have enlightened me throughout all those years that have gone by in trying to make myself a deserving engineer. not to mention the present disgruntled state i am in which is all the more making it difficult for me to be decisive about anything in life. it all sums up to one thing and it is to let myself flow freely into this wilderness and hope that life takes it's due course just like a river. i believe that anything you get through preparation is not worth achieving but the very impromptu nature of getting things is in itself thrilling .so just hoping that something strikes me in my free flow and changes my course to something satisfactory and worth doing.
