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)

Comic Book Movies

Movies based on comics and other literary sources have increased these days. Everyone watches the new Christopher Nolan Batman movies, but very few know the comics or atleast the cartoon series. This is to help every know a bit of the back story so that everyone can enjoy the upcoming movie to its full.

1. The New Batman movie:

Christopher Nolan will be presenting his last installment of the Batman movies and the movie is called "The Dark Knight Rises". The Principal Villain this time is Bane and a could-be villain character is Selina Kyle (Less emphasis is given to her and hence her transformation to Catwoman is doubtful). To pose as people who know the comics one has to know the following.

The character of Batman is one of the very few Superhero comics where the protagonist has no superpowers but instead has trained his body and mind to very high levels so he can protect the innocent. As a kid Bruce Wayne (Batman) witnesses his parents' murder and is driven into an obsession of fighting crime. To fight crime effectively he travels across the world learning Martial Arts, Deductive skills and knowledge of how an evil mind works. He creates the persona of Batman to scare the criminals and to bring peace to the city of Gotham. Batman never uses a gun, having seen it being used on his parents. He is also the only one to have the Kryptonite bullets to kill Superman (which Superman himself gave him) to be used if ever Superman turns evil. The Detective as he's famously called has a strong sense of morality. When the villain named Darkseid creates clones of Batman to use them for world domination the clones inherit his sense of justice and hence commit suicide to stop Darkseid from using them.

Bane: Bane was raised in a prison. Since the authorities fail to capture his father( a revolutionary fighting against the government) they capture a young Bane and imprison him. In the Pena Dura prison Bane dedicates himself to earn authority and trains his body to very high levels and thanks to the many inhabitants of the prison he gets himself educated. After becoming a physically intimidating person he declares himself the King of the Pena Dura Prison. The prison authorities notice his physicality and force him into becoming a test subject for a poisonous steroid like substance called Venom. Venom increase his size and strength to superhuman levels and he becomes increasingly dependent on it. Having had nightmares of a demonic bat since his childhood he starts to believe that he is destined to fight Batman. To declare himself as the "King of Gotham" he deviates Batman by first helping the inmates of Gotham's prison to escape. It takes many sleepless and food-less days and nights for Batman to round up the escaped convicts and return them to prison. On the verge of exhaustion he is confronted by Bane who defeats him and breaks his back. Thus Bane becomes the only one to ever 'break the bat'. Bruce passes his Cowl and Cape to his fellow superhero friend Azreal who defeats Bane with the help of an updated Bat-suit. Bruce eventually recovers from his injuries and returns to his duty as Batman and eventually defeats Bane during another confrontation.

The first confrontation between Batman and Bane is the primary plotline for the comic book "KnightFall". The new movie seems to follow the plotline of knightfall very closely seeing the emphasis that is given to Bane.

Telugu

The passing of yesteryear writer 'Mullapudi Venkataramana' got me thinking on how less I know about Telugu literature. I haven't yet read any of his works or that of any big writer. Nothing from Sri Sri, Bharago, Chalam, or anyone. Don't even know the names of writers from the pre-independence era. What do we know about the language? How many of us know about the literary history of our language.
I've always thought the following things about the different south Indian states. Karnataka has the Carnatic music as its speciality, Kerala has Kalaripayattu, Tamil has the basic dravida culture running through their veins. What do we have?
We have arts. Lalitha Kalalu. Of all the peope I know only us Telugus have given so much importance to arts and literature. Developing a language for comunication is itself an incredible task. Developing poems and songs structures is all together an incredible task. Imagine how much work has gone into developing the syntax and grammar of a language. And how incredible it is that people have written poems in a language. Writting a poem itself takes a lot of creativity but also having contests in it is just too wonderful.
If you rewind to the times of 'Sri Krishna Devaraya' when people had poetry competitions and when only the last phrase of a poem was given and a poet was asked to complete as a proper poem that was the best time for Telugu literature. If those were the standards of Telugu hundreds of years ago then its current status would be incredible. But the truth is quite different, isn't it? I had to write this in English 'coz not many of us can read telugu anymore or atleast at normal speed. English is the need of the day. Its what we need to survive but Telugu is what we are. Speaking in Telugu in your daily life is not enough. READ IT, LEARN IT and be a proper Telugu fella. If we don't know our language who else will?
Note: Most importantly don't listen to the lyrics of the new Telugu songs if you want to get a hold on Telugu literature 'coz there are no good lyricists left(Sitaram Sastri doesnt write much anymore). We are stuck with chandra bose's awesomely dumb "Soku maada సోమాజిగూడ".

HAPPY POST - I

Posting happy things is not my normal thing but apparently it helps staying sane. So here goes..

Amongst the very few things that make me happy from all the infinite things in life are songs with great lyrics. One of the most funny and good lyrics belong to the film BABAI ABBAI. Scenario: Babai (Sutthi Veerabhadra Rao) and Abbai (Balakrishna) are happy-not-so-lucky guys who owe money to a lot of people. They promise everyone that they're gonna pay off their debts with the help of a play. While on-stage they decide to play 'Sita-Rama Sangramam'. The lyrics of this song are awesome. Check out the following words:

Seetha: గోల్డెన్ లేడీ ని తేరా ....
రామ: సీత ఆపవే కూత ......

BEST AND WORST OF 2010 - PART II

Now the BEST of 2010.

5. Due Date

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Almost fell out of my seat.

4. Raktha Charitra

One of the most compelling movies ever. This interpretation of actual events was incredible and scary.

3. How to train your Dragon

My First 3D film. An excellent animation film.

2. Inception

A mind bender. And ladies and gentelmen Christopher Nolan does it again. There are no bad films in this guy's resume. Eagerly awaiting his version of Superman and the third Batman film.

1. The Expendables.

I'm a Stallone,Willis and Statham fan. What else do you expect. God stallone had mercy enough to make this awesome film. Yippie Ki Yay!!!!!!!!

BEST AND WORST OF 2010

I made a list of movies I watched this year and I want to rank them accordingly. This week the Worst List.

1. Thakita Thakita
2. Bava
3. Orange
4. BRUNDAVANAM
5. Hello Darling

The above listed films are the ones I had the misfortune of watching this year.
at No.5 is Hello Darling, remake of a very humourous film (the original was produced by Kamal Hassan and bearing his mark comedy). And the obvious reason for watching is me being a fan of Gul Panag. I've decided to admire her and not all of her movies.
at no. 4 is BRindavanam. A guy who boasts of Telugu pride and stuff names his film hindi style ( in Telugu its brUndavanam not brIndavanam). Mind numbing seems just about right to describe this film.
at no. 3 is Orange. Vollu thega balisi thirige vedhavalaki voche novel kashtaalu. 'Yedava sodi'.
at no. 2 is BAVA. The number given to this film describes it perfectly. I hoped this to be a sequel to Rajendra Prasad's classic 'Edurinti Mogudu Pakkinti Pellam' (based on the movie title). But when the whole film unit was so determined to make a phenomenal flop nothing could be done otherwise.
at no. 1 is Thakita Thakita. All the above movies combined cannot infuse enough pain to compare with the pain this movie caused. Bad acting would be a compliment to the lead actors.

GOT ME SELF A CAR . OH YEAH BABY!!!!!

Happy days here I come. Got me self a car. Oh Yeah Baby!!! ( Read as Austin Powers).
Sep 2: Dealer: Saaar! Mee car vacheshindi

Sep 4: Akkayya, Nenu, Tarun, Bhanu,Preneeth and Sandeep at Varun Motors (Madinaguda)

RULES OF THE GAME

One of the best books of all time, 'KANYASULKAM' finished reading it again. 'KANYASULKAM' is the reverse of DOWRY. It was no-good either. Parents used to sell their daughters to very old men for the money. And prayed for the girl's husband to die so they sue the dead guy's family for some inheritance stuff. The girls got exploited for money in even this reverse scenario. What we should always remember is that its not the rules that are bad. Its the people who enforce them. The Kanyasulkam (reverse dowry) could've been given to the Girl's parents to help them with the post marriage life or with marriage expenditure.


All the rules in our society have mostly been made to do 'GOOD'. But the bureaucrats, the government officials and all the bloody politicians they screwed them up beyond recognition. People will come up a thousand or more reasons for not doing the right thing than discovering the one right reason to do it. What as humans we can do is to emphasize on what is good. And also on how we can keep the heart of the rules intact. Don't make a rule and ask people to follow it. The rule will be read by people who want to know. It will be studied by ones who want to bend it. And it will destroyed by ones who take advantage of it. Instead walk the right path and you'll see many following it. Rules of a game are set by the maker. 'Rules of the society' are set by us and more importantly by our actions.

RELIGION.

I'm not an atheist. I believe in GOD. But I don't believe in any specific religion. None of the religions of the world are right. Any religion's rules might've meant good but they mostly are executed wrongly. I cannot talk about other religions 'coz I don't know them so well. I'm a Hindu and there are many flaws in Hinduism that make me cringe. The points that I hate are as follows.

1. According to a few religious texts, a human should do as God tells him and not as he does. Then where the hell is the 'Lead by example scenario'. The only time God Vishnu is said to have led by example is His avatar as Ram. But even that avatar is debated.

2. Lord Krishna the ultimate hypocrite. This avatar pisses me off. A guy who boinks thousands of women talks to guys about what their dharma is. If the woman is willing to 'love' somebody other than her husband then even her husband should shut the hell up and hope she comes back. Women love this concept and thats why they love Krishna. My point is, if you love someone then why the hell do you get married to someone else. Aren't there laws against infidelity? They say the gopikas were married to some other guys. OMG!! And this guy teaches the Bhagavad gita. Literally, Holy shit.

3. The whole concept of paapam and punyam. As if the whole good karma bad karma is an account and every bastard tries to settle his accoun by donating money or doing a puja in a temple. All indian guys are good at that mathematical shit is because of this screwed up theory.

IPL Zindabad ?

I purposefully try to not give Cricket my sole attention when it comes to sport. I believe we should treat all sports and games equal (even if it is as slow as Golf, no offense). I don't like 20-20 cricket. I like the ODI format. ODI and TEST cricket needs proper cricket athletes. 'coz only they have the stamina to play for so long with good skill and a good control on nerves. Thats a good sporting challenge.

Coming to the point that intrigues me the most is the money part of IPL. If people can spend thousands of crores of rupees that publically then they could've been paying relative amounts of taxes to justify this expenditure. If they are spending so much in taxes, then what is the government doing with such freakish amounts of money. We have been looted of such incredible amounts of money all this time. 37% of our have been successfully screwed. We could be next if we don't act fast.Isnt tax from many such freakishly rich people who can afford to buy those IPL teams enough to get atleast 10% of that 37% out of poverty. If we consider those poor 37% of our population as people who beg from others, then our politicians and bureaucrats have been stealing from them. The whole country is getting ravaged by few people who have power.

Power if you really think about it, does not exist. Money is something we created. One person do not have to kill another person on the orders of the rich. Our duty today is to build a society of people who see money for what it is. Money is nothing but a medium to barter things thats it and nothing more. We have to raise future generations with proper ethics and standards that would eventually wipe out this shit off of our land. Lets work hard, honestly, sincerely and more importantly in a unbiased way. Lets wipe out cheap thoughts of race,caste etc from minds of people to the level that only history books should speak of caste and creed. Lets show the cheap assholes who are too proud of their caste or surnames where they stand.

"Be a Human. Do the Right Thing" (an abridged version of Russell Peters Famous dialogue).

I'M BACK

Recently I've had the privilege of someone telling me to stop blogging. And that someone (the comment was posted anonymous and so I'm maintaining the anonymity) also said what I wrote was terrible. And he/she/it was right. I wrote for the sake of writing something and that was wrong. It was like the padma awards. Our government gives away the padma awards for the sake of just giving them away as a ritual but not because it thinks the recipients deserve them.

Honestly, what the hell did saif ali khan do? And many more such people. They did some work alright, but do they truly deserve the awards. What was the reason? "If obama can get noble prize I can get bharatha ratna"? In the recent past we've been witnesses of many slaps. slaps in the face of democracy. Netas shamelessly saying "we don't have money to give an exgratia to the victims of a tragedy .But we do have enough money to make freakishly big garlands of Rs.1000 notes".

The padma awards and the bharath ratna should be given to people who truly deserve them not just because its that time of the year. Today any jackass with his freakishly unbelievable amounts can buy any award. Can anyone ever honestly say that everyone who got the padma awards or the bharath ratna are in the same league as Mother Teresa or MS Subbalakshmi? Getting a trophy doesn't make a winner. Getting an award doesn't make any one a great person. The world knows the truth. The likes of Mother Teresa do not need an award for people to know how great they actually were and are.

FINALLY SAW THE MOVIE 3 IDIOTS.

DEENI YENKHAMMA... Got the tickets for the movie twice but couldn't go. Finally watched it today morning. Not a great movie but definetly worth watching once. There are many points in the movie that show the suffering of students in the hands of the older people. Points to be noted from the script.

1. Why do you feel an urge to kill yourself if you are failed?
2. Why do you need to have courage to pursue a career you know you like than the one that someone chose for you?
3. Why do some teachers want to control the lives and lifestyles of their students than teach them their craft?

And the Answers:

1. If you have been brought up with myths than you'll grow up believing in them and even dying for them. If you were told since you were kid to follow what your dad says and never argue. Then when you become an adult you'll need courage to talk to him. This sounds bloody silly. End of the day you have to remember that everyone is a human. We are all flesh and bones nothing more. A college certificate is still a piece of paper and no matter how how great a dad is, he does not have the capability of living his son's/daughter's life. The reason why I ever scored good grades in my educational is mainly because I didn't think of them as life altering things or that my dad will make my life a living hell if I didn't pass. Eventually I became careless and presently lazy. So I kinda overdid it. But I know I'll become normal again. But there's no way in hell I'm gonna kill myself. Atleast, till I lose my virginity. Which is the reason why a lot of men live (Don't say 'no' 'coz our population proves you otherwise).
   
2. I still don't know what I'm passionate about. I don't know what I'm great at. I don't know what I love. Hence forth I have no problem in doing any job. I don't have to do a particular job. But the people who do know what they like to do, apparently need guts to tell their parents about it. There was a guy in our college (Intermediate) who when asked to talk during the elocutions used to talk against the college's methods. I was in a corporate college which made students to study very hard. And this guy was bitching about it. He's just like above mentioned guys. When you don't have the balls to speak to your parents and telling them you don't want to go to some place they are sending you, then for god's sake keep it to yourself. Its people like them who don't have the guts to stand up. If the girl he likes tells them she likes him back, then this darpok will definetly run away to save his own ass from her family than fight for her.
   
3. There many reasons for problem three.
   

• The teacher would probably have skill of their own to teach.
• The teacher is a guy who thinks he's a loser and to satisfy his insecurities tries to torment the student.
• The teacher has superiority complex and believes the student has not enough intelligence to learn from him
• The teacher has prejudice towards the clothes that his student wears and his lifestyle and thinks he's no good for learning. That way the teacher has given up before even starting.

Teachers might know how to teach. But a few know how to help his/her students learn. I used to have a lecturer in my B.Tech days. He used to believe that a good student is a guy who wears formal shirt and trousers and wears chappals. Any guy wearing a t-shirt to class was his sworn-enemy and and anyone who speaks to girls is a good-for-nothing. The guy's name is Baswa Rao. I have lost all my interest in chemistry and chemical engineering thanks to guys like him. There was not one guy in my B.Tech who helped me learn. I'm not a smart guy, I know that and I needed help. But whose got the time for it. My time was spent in reaching the college and coming back. It once took my 7 hrs to go to college and come back. Bloody journeys...

Assholes who wore the lecturer's fav dress code were budhdhimanthulu and I was a good -for-nothing. Well I still hope he clears his eyes before he screws up another kid from the college.

After the blasphemous years of B.tech I found happiness in my Post Grad. I love where I work now. I love the people I work with. And they all are helping me learn. Hope someday schools, and especially B.Tech colleges become more like MSIT and with people, like the ones from my office.

WAS A LONG WAY TO THE FLOP. EVERYTHING ROCKED AND ROLLED.....

Did you ever had a moment to save face or lose miserably? Did you ever pray to gods on your knees asking him "Oh God! Let this shit work I won't ask anything else, except for a hot wife, cool car and bigger equipment". I recently had one. Not surprisingly it went south. Learned a few important lessons. Those were the lessons I hoped I never had to hear from. I was given an assignment and I failed in completing it.

A day of remorse and repenting and punching the wall fifteen times later, "I gotta get my act staight" was the thought. My friend Preneeth says, "there is no process to be happy or getting what you want. If you want to be happy just be happy. If you wanna meet a deadline then meet it. If wanna be efficient be efficient. There are no clues , no short cuts. JUST BE".

And thats the bloody truth. If I only wanted to do work right I could have done it. Heck! I could've done it much better. But I didn't. I thought too much about it, got tensed, got terrified. Screwed the whole thing up single handedly. Wished I had anothr leg to kick my own ass (this is not a request, anyone trying to act on this will receive one from me).

Tried preneeth's theory in the badminton game today and it worked. Thought of playing the game and I played better than usual. Usually I think of all the permutations and combinations and how my Dad would feel when I lose in front him etc., all that crap screwed my game up. To play all you need is your wish to play good. To feel good all you need is feel good. Hope I continue this and get some good rep.

PS: title refers to a song by AC/DC. "Its long way to the top. If you wanna Rock 'n Roll"

Appuday Thellaarinda......

People who watch Telugu movies, would've remembered the title of this post as a cool dialogue in a comedy film. Anyways,,.. coming back to the post. Recently a friend of mine wrote a post about our college days. Made us all very nostalgic. So here's my contribution. My typical day in MSIT.

Podduna legali.... ( 8:30 AM) "TTHU deenamma. ivvaalaina 4 ki levvaali anukunna". After 30 Min. " devuda naaku 217 A (direct bus) dorikelaagaa aasheerwadinchu". After 30 min in bus stop. "devuda kaneesam Auto doriketattu choodu". 10:30 AM arrival at IIIT . Feel my pockets for phone. ""3 missed calls" . Preneeth: "Abey !! yenduku raa neeku phone. bekaar ga!!!".

"Sorry. silent ga petti. Emotion lo daari marchipoyina".

Bhanu: "Nee ayya. inkosaari dialogue chebithe........".

"Aythe OK".

Bhanu:"CHai..?".

"OK".

Location :JOJ (Our Canteen): yedo oka gang already untadi akkada. mostly mahathi, unnatti, sandy, jay, sai.. After reaching the hear-able distance all you hear is "so you know..... blah to the power of blah hehehehehehe" and the laughter continues... followed by pakkana vaalla pitchi choopulu. "5 tea rendu coffee rendu boost. 6 ruppayala biscuit packets rendu"(that was the typical breakfast).

Location :MSIT lab: To myself - "Ikkada unna vaallandiriki naa kante yekkuva yela thelisindi. Nenu kooda ivvalati nunchi baaga chaduvutha"."kaani mundu okasaari DC lo kottha film yem vachindo choosaaka" After 1 hr "indaaka yedo chadavaali anukunna.

Nenu: "ABey ROCKY choosina tharvaatha cinema gurinchi maatladandi "
"PO BEY"(Deo, Sitaram, Pavan in chorus)

Sohail:” Well said. Lets all team together and start preparing for placements first”

In the middle of this serious conversation.

B.E.A.UTIFUL.........

A lot of my friends like sports bikes. I do not have the ability to appreciate their so-called beauty. But I do have a taste of my own. I love classic, cruiser and chopper bikes. And the list of my fav. wheels is here,


1. TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE T100

Look at this beauty from the TRIUMPH stable. Its voted as one of the most beautiful bikes in the world. This is a TRIUMPH Bonneville T100. If I have enough money to buy any bike I would buy this one. And it ranks number 1 on my list.



2. TRIUMPH ROCKET III

2,294 cc. Thats all that I need to say. Look at the beast. Savoring the scent of the meal to come. Hungry and waiting to pounce.
You don't ride this. You stamp your foot down and pray to the lords to keep you alive.......... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR




IN CARS

1. SHELBY COBRA 427
The best car ever made.

2. THE 1969 FORD SHELBY MUSTANG

The best muscle car.







3. AUSTIN MINI COOPER

An engineering marvel and a pioneer in small car technology.

INDIA - SPLIT WIDE OPEN

In the past few weeks people who have the habit knowing things around the world at home, would've observed a few things.
1. China has started imitating Pakistan even more effectively.
2. Maoist guys are getting cornered and they're fighting back.

Topic 1: For a long time I wondered why China was against us (I wasn't so aware of politics and stuff). I like China 'coz thats where Bruce Lee was from. But now I'm getting absolutely P.O.ed at them for claiming Arunachal Pradesh as their state and for bullying Tibetans out of their country. Its like beating up a child because you know the child does not have the power to fight back. Poor tibet guys they've been brought up with ahimsa and no proper military facilities so they lost their land and everything. They got screwed big time. I wonder why China still calls itself a communist state. A communist state should give people what is rightfully theirs. All China has been doing is take what is not theirs. Dont they have enough land already, why do they want our Arunachal pradesh? If this goes on, one day Sri Lanka might start asking for Tamil Nadu. I once heard a politician shouting on TV, "You Indians should listen to us". 'coz he said 'you Indians' I believe he's not one. There are many guys who are proud to be Indians and then there are these guys. We are ripping each other away from our country and we don't even know it. Caste , Religion, Gender and even Language have become barriers of peace. I would like to tell all those 'you indians' speaking guys, "Yes We Are Indians. If You Are Not One Of Us. Get Out Of Our Country".
Topic 2. I'm not an admirer of the Naxal movement. They've killed too many people. But as long as they are there the politicians have something to fear. Those guys are beyond the reasons of the system. I'd have loved to hear the Naxals killing some of those terrorists from across the borders. If they had killed any terrorists who have come inside the country then I'd have called them patriots and martyrs. But they didn't. I don't have any sympathy or apathy towards them. Isn't that bad? They're getting cornered by bigger forces and getting killed and I feel nothing.

Bajaj Avenger Castrated

In these so called modern times and push button, there were a few things that still need some muscle.Bikes, Cars are more than just means of transport. They have become an expression of self.

On our Indian roads, roam some of the most lame vehicles of all time. There's nothing special about.They are just means of transport and thats it. Look at all those hero hondas and bajaj pulsar or platina or Apache or whatever they are. They are all the bloody same. They pose like hyabusas (even though they are ten times lesser than them). And now they have all been made for women and encourage women into driving them. I say this because they all now have button-start. I'm not against the push-button system, my life depends on pushing buttons every day.A button-start to a bike comes in handy during emergencies. But a bike with 'only a button start' is not a man's bike. Its scooty with more CC. Its like female body builder.

I have always wanted to buy a bike which could classified properly. Almost all the Indian bikes today do not belong to any division. They are just economy bikes. I thought the Bajaj Avenger was the only bike that falls into a proper category (cruiser bike).

Now that I've started earning I went to the Bajaj Showroom and asked dude in there about the price. He says 73K. And he continues with, "This is the NEW Avenger".
I said "Whats New?". And reply is.......
1. Its engine is bigger (200 CC).
2. Its silencer now doesn't get rusty soon.
3. Its back tyre doesn't skid.
most importantly ITS GOT ONLY BUTTON START NOW!!!!!!!!!

WTF (a borrowed phrase from my friend's blog)

And there goes my dream down the drain. I'd rather not buy a bike that doesnt know its gender. I dont have a problem with anyone who do not have a gender, but I do have a problem the ones who fake it. It is absolutely perverse. All you cruiser bike lovers out there, the good looking cruiser we used to have is no more. Its become a scooty.
I'm off to buy anything original and masculine. A good ol' YEZDI should do. Its cheap and probably one of the best looking bikes ever. It also gives a mileage of more than 40.
