END OF EVIL....

The biggest FOOL in the history of mankind had left office and his place is taken by a person who symbolizes HOPE and EQUALITY. The whole world can heave a sigh of Relief as BUSH has left and can do whatever he wishes. But Obama faces big Challenges and his abilities will be tested severely when he resumes office. His task is very difficult and it will require more than Hard work and Wisdom to overcome problems faced by America as well as the whole world. The dream of People like Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali, Rosa Parks and various unsung people has been fulfilled with Obama's ascent to the Presidential seat.

We all feel Good that a person who is intelligent and reasonable has become the President of the United States. I wish him the best in his Quest and feel confident that he will do Justice to his ability and make all of us Proud with his Actions.

I AM BACK

It feels great to be back. I mean to be back in Chandigarh and to have left that madness behind. This is not only my hometown but everything I am I owe to this city. All my hopes, aspirations, passions, love, friendship and everything is in one way or other linked to this city. I did my schooling, college and got my first job in Chandigarh.
For a nature lover like me, there can not be any better city. The wide open spaces and parks are there for relaxation and Mother Nature is willing to take us in its embrace always. A relaxing walk on the Sukhna Lake can do wonders for one's spirits anyday. The best part is that all my Friends are here and they are a great source of inspiration. Once again it feels great to be back and this is the place I really belong to. Wish all of you a lot of Success and Luck in your endeavours.

I FEEL LONELY

I am feeling very lonely for the last few days or so. I usually spend most of my time with Friends but have not been able to do so for various reasons. I am also feeling a little cross due to some reasons. But it is just a passing phase. I still have a lot of great Friends and books to keep me company. I want to spend more time watching movies but can not do so currently. My Friends have got an amazing collection of movies which I can watch once I have all the things in place.

I miss some of my Friends very much and would love to meet and spend time with them. It was great to meet and spend time with Aman a few days back. I also went to Shimla and had a nice time there. On my way to Shimla I met a very good person. I am also seriously thinking about Marriage and it is on my mind. I may not rush into it but I have to be mentally prepared for it. I feel the Time has come to get hitched and enjoy Matrimony. It will also Discipline me and maybe make me more Happier. It does not mean that I am not Happy now. Let us see how things turn out in the next few days. I am prepared for anything and everything.

LOST IN NECROPOLIS

It has been a messed up few days for me. But like always great friends are there to support me. Music is also the biggest source of enjoyment as well as relaxation. Just listening to a good song makes you forget all your worries and you feel as free as a bird. I am also a little surprised by where human beings have stooped to. But we can not expect anything better from human beings. They will forever stay the way they are and there is no redemption for them. But there is something great which has taken place. I have met a very nice Friend and she seems to be a very nice Girl. I would want her to do well and stay happy. My first love will also be turning an year older. I also want her to stay happy. She must get all the happiness and love in life and I pray to God to give her a very considerate life partner. All of us must stay Happy and contended in Life.

THE HEAT IS ON.....

As another year rolls by a lot of things have transpired. But I have learned a lot of things in the last couple of months or so. There is enough goodness as well as badness and it is up to each one of us how we perceive everything. One should not be influenced by others easily but if they happen to be people like Dickens, Hemingway, Mandela, Gandhi, Orwell, RK Narayan they are fit to be placed in temples and worshipped. I mean so many assholes are calling or equating themselves with God. At least these gentlemen have a lot of credibility and wisdom which is sadly missing from this banal world. The world is going insane over money and can stoop to any level for it. The irony is all that money can still not save millions from starving or suffering due to poverty and disease. We need to ashamed of what is going on in Iraq, Israel and Afghanistan. Americans are the biggest criminals in this world and they are willing to go to any length for their selfish interests. But our time is coming and that day is not far when we will be giving a hard time to them. We are anyways better than them in most of the things. We are getting more and more powerful and we need to keep working hard. The future belongs to INDIA as Chinese have already proved that they can not manage even a small issue like Tibet properly. We have to make sure that we do not allow these disgusting politicians to take us for a ride. The day is not far when there will be more Indian offices in Wall Street than American or European ones. Our Mystique is growing everyday and no one can stop this Tiger from roaring.

APOCALYPSE NOW

A lot of time has passed since this great movie was released. It was first released at Cannes Film Festival on 10th May, 1979. Then it was released in US on 15th August, 1979 which ironically is India's independence day. This movie was never released in India. It explains why some of the most experienced people associated with film making in India can not grasp the significance and appeal of this great piece of art. If anyone knows what Coppola had to go through while making this movie he can never overlook this movie. This movie is easily one of the greatest war epics ever made. It is such a landmark movie that it needs no praise or any eulogies as it is beyond all these banal things. I am indebted to my good Friend who made me watch this great piece of Cinema and made me realise the power of great art. I salute Coppola and his untiring spirit which made this great movie possible despite all the naysayers. Go ahead and experience this eternally great movie and learn a thing or two about film making as well as Life.

WELTSCHMERZ

As days go by, a strange kind of weariness and ennui has set in. Maybe it has to do something with the weather. I had a chance to see JUNO recently and found it a really quirky movie. The humour is pretty nice and a sensitive subject has been tackled in a very subtle manner. It is much better than the other movies playing in the theatres. I hope Indian directors can learn a thing or two from this movie. Indians are still running after pathetic movies and it is true that we get the movies we deserve. But things are improving slowly and surely and young directors offer some hope.

The politicians are out to sell the country and they have already sold their souls. We have to be Positive and make sure that our judgement is not clouded by the divisive agendas of political parties. We need to trust ourselves and keep working hard and do not worry about anything else.
