Goal

Beware: This rant will cover way too many topics.

Lets put our attention to three words : Attributes, Parameters and GOAL.

 The last word (GOAL) needs to be in capitals and does not require an 's' at the end. For it is singularly the most sought-after entity. We define our pursuit, conquer or our failure in capturing the GOAL through a series of analysis supplied by self, the audience and a few times by a few uninvited-guests (read relatives).

 The confusion in defining attributes and parameters will lead one through excruciating period of time. You will hear that "a man who needs to achieve an ABC goal must have XYZ attributes" and his success in achieving that goal is measured using few parameters (which in most cases will end up being the amount of money earned. Since we live in democracy the majority votes for money and you give-in to that opinion). If you fail in achieving the goal, the same is applied.

 Now comes the interesting section. The wanna-be part. Any guy who shares traits of a Gandhi or a Vallabhai Patel will necessarily not become a great person like one of them. Having their attributes will NOT have the same impact (India already has its independence from the British, now get over it). If you want to start a company you don't need to adopt the habits of successful men. Their attributes might NOT work for you. Your change will not help you.

 How to be an entrepreneur?? Start by working on your passions. Things that make you happy. If you don't have one yet it only means that you need to explore more. A vast majority of people on this planet do not even have one. So if the day comes when you are 90-years old and you have nothing that makes you happy and you about to kick the bucket, don't worry. You tried and thats there is to it. Sure the people with passions and stuff get all the money and hot women but you get to be the guy who inspires hundreds of such people in finding their calling.

 You will not be a successful entrepreneur or anything for that matter by following anyone else. Dressing like Steve Jobs does not help  you in establishing an apple inc., The big question as always is "WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?". If you can answer that, you are done. If you can't, then just shut the hell up and keep looking.

If you know telugu the following should help you in keeping yourself inspired

"తన వేళ్లే సంకెళ్ళై కదలలేని మొక్కలా  
ఆమనికై  ఎదురు చూస్తు ఆగిపోకు ఎక్కడా. 

అవధి లేని అందముంది అవనికి నలు దిక్కులా
ఆనందపు గాలి వాలు నడపని నిన్నిలా
ప్రతి రోజొక నవ గీతిక స్వాగతించగా
వెన్నెల కిన్నెర గానం నీకు తోడుగా"

Chichore Holidays

I am not good at naming my posts. This one explains what exactly I think of festivals in our country. Festival is just a reason for the dumbasses, good-for-nothing ass holes to roam free on the streets and make life hell for everyone. The top 3 festivals for chichorapan are here:

At Rank 3: Holi.

Holigans roam the streets and throw all kinds of nonsense on everyone(women and children included) and if you fight back you are told to walk away. Mayhem is everywhere. Chichorapan is at its best. Cheap and disgusting is how this festival is.

At Rank 2: Diwali.

What the fuck do you get when you blowup a firecracker that borders on the definition of a bomb. Are you trying to kill the elderly with too much sound? I wish the chichora's mother or father dies of the sound. These bastards go on with these "celebrations" till 1AM in the night. What the fuck is this fascination?

At Rank 1: Ganesh Chathurthi

This is the epitome of chichorapan. Saale sab ke sab mar kyun nahin jaathe. Why the fuck do you need the loud speakers? Are you trying make the god in the sky hear your bhajans? "Bhen----de tere mein bhakthi nahin hai. Teri Chch--yapa bhagwan dekh rahan hai. Aur saale woh tereko dekhlega". Every fucking street has an idol and theres no way to get out. What if theres an emergency? I hope that one of the stall owners has a heart attack and dies because the ambulance cant make it to his place in time because the routes are blocked by the ganesh mandaps/stalls. Mandap ki maa ki aankh.

Happy Women's Day

This image pissed me off. This is NOT empowering. This is the exact amount of crap that women are willingly filling their brains with. I'd love it if they follow the point "E", "I" or "B". Its the remaining letters that worry me.
Point "Z":
"Zero challenges means Zero growth" is the best part of the point. But why the reference to diamond??? Deers and other renowned stupid animals get attracted or distracted  by shiny objects. This stupid obsession over shiny shit like Gold or diamonds is precisely why all hell breaks lose.

Point "U":
There is no fucking thing called beauty. Leonardo Davinci drew pictures of old people who are as per advertising standards look like shit. But its art and its beautiful. The only beauty in reality is the real objects and the natural way things are. Let me explain this in a proper example.
If I get praised for being the only guy to be born with certain features it' make me happy. Because
a. I'm being considered greater than others. and
b. I didn't have to work for it. It came freely.
After a while I would be walking around as if I'm superior than anybody and hardly contributing any work. The same applies to women. They are praised for being "BEAUTIFUL". What the FUCK is that? Who the fuck is the authority on calling anything beautiful or not. Lets take the theist version here. According to many, God couldn't be everywhere so he created Mothers. So it means that Mom is the franchise owner for Godly services per house. And it is said that "to a mother her children are the most beautiful in the world". "A mother will love her children even if they are in a literal pile of shit". So the foremost authority(God) now proclaims that every child is beautiful who the fuck is this Motherfucker who goes around telling who is more beautiful than someone else?

Women of the world, if you want equal rights and opportunities get off the fucking beauty wagon. It is SHIT. And that is precisely what leads people to screw you up. I mean that literally and figuratively.

Point Y:
Nobody was fucking stopping you in the first place. Go out there damn it and get it. But if you fill your mind with all the crap thats on TV then your dreams will also be piles of CRAP. And pursuing CRAP is even more CRAPPY.

"EZIBUY" :
What the fuck is this? You ask why men feel like they own you? This is why. We buy crap too. Ever wonder why a man feels like buying a big ass bike or car? But buying is not part of our life and neither should be yours. And when you divorce and take nearly everything, we HATE you. You want respect and leverage then learn how to save and control money.

Imagine a society where for ages women haven't been praised for being beautiful, but praised every time they worked and praised even more when they worked well.No man was obsessed about a woman's body parts and no fruits and vegetables were thrown at them in movies.That would be a society were a woman wouldn't get raped. That would be a society where a woman gets her due appreciation of work. That would be a society free of fears, insecurities and mayhem.

Work Hard, have fun and have a better tomorrow. Happy Women's Day.

FORM ....... less

Things that you need to be raymond man.i.e, "The Complete Man".  These things are individually exclusive and are different from person to person. These things are defined by the man himself. For some its money. For some its pleasure. For some its passion. For a real Rock 'n Rolla he wants 'em all. Among many of the things I have in my list majority of them are art forms. Which made be contemplate on the question "what is art?".

I have come across sportsmen whom people hailed as great and incredible and a good majority (read more than 90%) are narcissistic A-holes. They don't care about the team's win they just want their whims and fancies to be taken care. I lost a match and because of that I lost a tournament. I have known artists who were hailed as supremely talented. But they have time and again proved to be incredible assholes who don't follow civil behavior and they are mostly bound to the laws of society like we are. So why should I learn arts or sports from these supreme A-holes.

Why don't I just ignore what they are get my work done? 'Coz I despise people like that. I hate people who will be with anyone just to get their work done. I cannot be what I hate.

All of this came to question 2. Why should you learn music or any other art form in ways that people dictate? Bruce Lee learned 8 different martial arts and went through hell before he declared that form or styles is constricting. Forms of martial arts or any art actually tells what to do. Which means they are also telling you to walk a certain path only. "Do what is efficient and effective" is the intent of Bruce Lee's teachings about martial arts. The same applies to dance, songs , movie making and literally every art. What if a song can more effectively be represented in the fusion of 8 different dance forms? What if the feelings of an artist can only be expressed when Rock music is played across a veena? What if???? and the list continues.

Why don't we learn what is effective to us and is efficient? Even if we want to learn how to draw or paint why don't we do it the way we like rather than following these curve making and stuff? For not-so-smart people like me I need the instruction to start off. What about all those brilliant people out there? Why do they do it? People will stoop to levels of learning from characterless people to learn what they like. Why don't they start all by themselves and start a new form?

To have a form or to be formless or to follow someone no matter what to confine ourselves to rules set ages ago.

camera

For a few days I wanted to know how my grandmother used to look like when she was young.
Now that she is not with us any more there is an even more depressing desire.
I remember how my mom used to look when I was young. I remember how my Dad,my brother and my sister looked when I was young. But I don't have them on paper. there's no evidence.

I don't know how my Dad and Mom used to look when they were young.

The evidences of our years, the photos mostly passport sized and taken for APSRTC's bus pass.

The search of my parents for my face after the yearly pics in school with the headmaster and teachers. And the one year when my family couldn't find me amongst my 60 classmates only 'coz I smiled this time.

A time when there was a line of girls who went gaga over my brother.

Finally I got a camera. my own camera. Now my brothers kids, my sisters kids will always have proofs of how we looked like and how they were when they were kids.

Sure we'll all be buried or burned someday and no one would give a damn about how we looked. But if the kids ever wanted to know then they'll always have the pics from my DSLR. Yes I could finally afford to buy a DSLR camera for 32000 rupees.

Passion

We mostly know what corruption is. But what made it flourish?? Why do people tend to be corrupt? Is it our disbelief in values? Is it in our inner voice that sometimes questions the values of honesty and integrity that have been set by very few of our predecessors.

How many times have we heard of a man who always wanted to be an MRO or a clerk at a government office. People don't aspire to be in those positions. They don't have passions which can be pursued by joining the jobs. I haven't heard of a man who when he was a child dreamt of moving papers from one desk to another or creating the best of work environments and be the best 'peon' ever.

No wonder many peons and other guys and corrupt. They need a reason to pursue the job besides the usual salary.

No matter what one says, no one can do a job just for what they are paid. Theres always the need for a little extra. The 'little extra' means differently to each person.

Check out the interviews of actors or phtographers or anyone who picked a profession out of their passions.

The questions would usually be:

"What drives you??"

"When did you get your calling??"

"What would you advice to future generation of actors/photographers/musicians etc.,"

Now imagine asking your GHMC kachcara guy these questions.

To him all he is concerned about is making his ends meet. and a little extra (this could be smoking or drinking or another wife)
