... the brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get to the office.

boys and men...

years ago a couple of lads were standing outside their classroom. lunch was over, and they were trying to decide whether to get into the class or not.
i said, 'let's toss a coin'
my friend said 'let's'
'tails, we get in'
'heads, we go out'
heads it was, and the teacher caught us... but we still went out...

today, after almost 11 years...
we dint want to go back into the presentation.
so i said, 'lets toss a coin'
the boys said 'let's'
'heads we go out'
'tails we go in'
tails it was. no one caught us, and we dint want to go back in... but we still did.

we were boys then. we're men now.
out of luck and scared to take a chance.

best laid plans...

it sucks when the best possible plans you made fail... it sucks even more when you lay them, and you screw them up yourself... it sucks the most when you do that consciously, knowing that the best you can do at the end is write a sucky post about it...

tag...

... i have extensively read only three-four blogs and I personally know only a couple of bloggers. It has so happened that both these people have actually posted exactly one of our conversations. So now I am just passing on the favour...
ladies, if you ever happen to read this post, and if you feel indignant and thoughts like 'this guy is such an asshole, he's actually written this...' etc... you can take a hike.

this three year old i know is from a vegan family and had just joined school. her mom made some dish containing cottage cheese. She realized her neighbors in school were not vegans when her kid said - 'mom this chicken is awful'.

this is a friend of embarassing herself-
'have u seen any episodes of scrubs?'
'umm no'
'well theres there are these kick-ass characters ok .. i mean they act
really well.. sarcastic n funny .. john dorian perry cox etc etc
and i was chatting with a friend the other day and wen we were talking abt scrubs ... he asked me my favourite character n i said
"man i simply love cox"

the metric system...

the metric system sucks when you have to measure your weight in kilos.. and yeah if your weight happens to be a three digit number.

this colleague of mine and I joined up the gym at our workplace.
he was like.. 'dude whats your weight'
i'm like.. 'i'm not telling'
'neither am I..'
And then we each get on to a tradmill. these are not those cheap ones where you can get away with not entering your weight. No sir, this one will not even start unless you enter your wight. So we get on and-
'beep beep beep'
and we grin at each other sheepishly.
wtf, if we used pounds then almost everyones weight would be in 3 digits. people would look at you abnormally if only two beeps came out when youre on the treadmill - 'dude, wtf do you need to workout on a treadmill'

recently a couple of friends and I were on a conference call. we were discussing health and us growing old, when one of the chaps had to go away for a second. this other guy asks me what my wight was. and before i could answer the second guy comes back and listens in. he's not heard what the question is.
I am like '...'
the second guy says 'dude, you're having high fever. you should sleep a while'
and the third guy is like 'dude that's his f$%*(ng weight, not temperature'
and then they go down memory lane recalling my apetite etc.

my son...

if i have a son, his name will definitely be one of these...
agent smith
barry badrinath
daniel ocean
hattori hanzo
jaguar paw
jason bourne
john hancock
marshall mathers
memphis raines
morpheus
paul mentz
quentin tarantino
sam witwicky
steve buscemi
vincent vega
akshay kumar

if a good book...

...is like a one night stand, then is marriage like a great book or a really bad one?

deja vu...

it's been almost 4 years now... we were fighting the same battle... the side I was fighting for was different... the place I was fighting it out was different... the friends I had were different...
but the battle is the same... the same desperation, the same thirst to kill and come on top ...the same foe ...the same fear of ending up loosing ...the same sick feeling in the stomach ...even the same mistakes...
...it's good to be back. it's days like these which do not count as 'same shit different day' even though it's the same shit!

twister...

Jesus Christ, listen to yourself, you're obsessed!
You've never seen what that thing can do, so don't even talk to me about-
I just saw it-
You've never seen it miss this house, and miss that house, and come after you!

i love kids...

i love it when little kids charge down the alley in a supermarket with the trolley...
i love it when infants in the neighbouring bay in a train start bawling away to glory in the middle of the night...
i love it when the neighbours kid decides to play tag with my doorbell...
i love it when the kid at the neighbouring table in a restaurant gapes at me when i am wolfing down dessert...
i love it when the kid upstairs decides to check whether the floor is bouncy or not... especially when i am sleeping...
i love it when i have to share my fries with the neighbours kid...
i really love it when kids aim the ball at sensitive parts of my body when i am walking by...
i also love it when they ask me to throw it back afterwards...
i love it when kids press all the buttons on the elevator just for fun... especially since my house is on the top floor...
i really love it when they ask me if i am this chap's daddy...
...makes me want to bslap them mfsobs silly.

i know what you'll do the next summer...

...with the number of soothsayers we have, this would have been the title of the movie had it been made here. if we were to start the next world war, I am pretty sure ther'll be a god man somewhere high up advising which date would be most favourable to declare war, what time Jupiter would influence the least so our scuds will cause maximum damage(do we have scuds???) etc.
wtf... who enjoys a movie when the story is already known, who reads the book when they know the end. That's what it is like to have someone predict the future. Its like going through the motions to get on with life; not experiencing it.
and if it was supposed to happen and you changed something so it didn't, htf is it the future?

half knowledge...

at some point of time someone older than you would've told you that 'learning is a continuous process' 'half knowledge is dangerous' and 'ignorance is bliss'. If learning is a continuous process, then regardless of the knowledge you've already accumulated, there's still more to gather. That makes complete knowledge infinity.
if complete knowledge is infinity then half knowledge too cannot be quantised. That means that at any point of time, you have less than half knowledge. so there is no way of telling when you can stop learning.
but, if ignorance is bliss, knowledge is misery. As long as you're miserable, you have complete knowledge. as long as you're miserable there's no need to learn anything more.
hence we have proved that the first statement is false - learning cannot be a continuous process and knowledge cannot be infinity...

...now that we've established quantization of knowledge let's see it's application. you'd have noticed that knowledge is measured by the depth rather than length, breadth, height or weight. we know that as one goes deeper and deeper into the earth's crust temperature rises to a high at the core and starts to drop as one moves towards the other side.
ergo, half knowledge is dangerous as it can kill you and complete knowledge can take you places as you'll reach the other side. but best of all, ignorance is bliss as it lets you be where you were in the first place.

In the beginning...

...god created the heaven and the earth

these are the opening lines of the first track from songs of distant earth. I didn't discover this album for a long time, as someone did me the favour of putting it in the floyd folder. Not that i don't like floyd... after listening to atom mother heart i decided its best to listen to only tracks others recommend. For those venturing into psychedelic stuff, this is a good place to start.

coming to the point, this is actually not the beginning, i did write a half page of trash one night and shared it with a couple of people. But the next morning i dint like it and i think i deleted it. If you're reading this it means I've either started writing better or stopped reading what i write...

lake of fire can mean a lot of things. Some people think devil was an angel first and for some reason was condemned to the lake of fire. That makes lake of fire mean hell. I believe that there is only heaven and earth... as the first line says. I also believe in the matrix, and i feel people who aren't plugged in can see earth for what it actually is... hell. We'll come back to this later.

lake of fire is also a track by someone, which was covered by Nirvana.

this place is called in the lake of fire because it sounds good. If you were looking for something extraordinary you should just watch the david blaine show.
