Saddii Dilli!

I was watching an interview of Barkha Dutt and Sheila Dikshit on the Delhi elections. I have never paid heed to Politics ever. every time there were elections i considered it futile to vote for the vulgar goons. But the interview presented a different picture this time. i was quite impressed by Sheila Dikshit, the way she answered the questions raised in the most apt language. She was a very cognizant as well as a confident woman. I was mighty impressed of her intellect and elegant humor. the thought occured that i would be like to be lead like such a Politician, as i would with my cherished professors. There was a sense of security felt if she becomes the Chief Minister.

The BJP candidate on the other hand was found cribbing and leaving no stone unturned to demean Congress to which Sheila replied in the most decent, humble and satisfying manner.

i have after the interview decided to vote and also my candidate. for i don't want whatever good that has happened in Delhi to stop. I love Delhi and Delhi deserves the best!

WE DON'T LET OUR PARENTS DECIDE FOR US, WHY LET OUR POLITICIANS?

We do really care about you!

Dearest MJ,

I write to u as an ardent fan who admires your music. we have grown up listening to you. Even though we are a far far away country your songs reached us despite no globalisation a decade back. Beat it, Black or white, They don't really care about us... they still get me goosebumps.

My purpose of writing to you is out of concern. MJ why aren't you happy the way God has made you, being what you are? You weren't happy with your blessed colour. There were reports of your dissatisfaction being a man. i pray they were rumors. Later you thought you would be much happier with kids. i yet again pray that it was out of passion for compassion and not otherwise. Being the richest Pop-Star in the world made you uncomfortable that you went down to the extent of bankruptcy.

Now when we were expecting you to do something exceptionally great in music and make a comeback you aren't suddenly happy with your faith! and neither were you happy with the way you spelt your name. Mikaeeel!!! how on earth do you think the little children would learn and pronounce when i myself find it so hard. They would learn about you in their GK books as we had done, unless you have been scrapped off the syllabus.

MJ all you need is to find happiness. that would bring peace to your fluctuating wanderings.
Come to India i would say and i'll take you through a guided tour of the sources of joy. we have them here a plenty.

We do realy care about you, MJ. And we are waiting for you to sing for us again.
Your admirer,
UJ

PS: They have accepted Obama they would accept you too. Comeback!

my inheritance, a liability...

I'm getting bald. it's a bit early for the age but its an inheritance which has become my liability. all men of our family have recieved it.

i was listening to Madonna's version of Don't cry for Me Argentina. The song is a composition of the legendary Andrew Lyod Webber, no wonder it's so melodious. It was then when i saw another version of the song by Sinnead O Connor. (She actually has sung it better than the Material Girl.)

i was curious which is not unusual for the recently developed youtubers and the wikipediacs. my inquisitiveness drove me to knowing the woman better. The following is what i got to know:

• She's beautiful.
• She is a Grammy Award winning Irish singer and songwriter.
• Her song "Fire on Babylon" is about the effects of her own child abuse.
• Her shoplifting and truancy led to her to a reform school at 15.
• She recorded her first song "Take My Hand" at 15.
• She called Pope evil on NBC's Saturday Night Live.
• O'Connor didn't let the American national anthem being played before her concert. She said, "I will not go on stage after the national anthem of a country which imposes censorship on artists. It's hypocritical and racist."

The last thing of note is that she's shed her head hair. She's bald by choice!

Jai Bihar! Jai Maharashtra! Jai Bharat!

I never read forwards i receive in the mails. They keep piling in there until i shrewdly delete them all. today however the jinx was broken when my peeping friend's eye caught it. I am grateful to him for i could have missed reading something hilarious. i am posting e same forward on the blog, with all due credit to the original writer, so that more people could read it. On a serious note the satire makes sense to whatever fundamentalist non-sense is happening in Maharashtra. It goes like:

Support Raj Thackeray

1. Parliament should have only Delhiites as it is located in Delhi
2. We should teach our kids that if he is second in class, don't study harder. just beat up the student coming first and throw him out of the school
3. Prime-minister, president and all other leaders should only be from Delhi.
4. No Hindi movie should be made in Bombay. Only Marathi.
5. At every state border, buses, trains, flights should be stopped and staff changed to local men
6. All Maharashtrians working abroad or in other states should be sent back as they are SNATCHING employment from Locals
7. Lord Shiv, Ganesha and Parvati should not be worshiped in our state as they belong to north (Himalayas)
8. Visits to Taj Mahal should be restricted to people from UP only.
9. Relief for farmers in Maharashtra should not come from centre because that is the money collected as Tax from whole of India, so why should it be given to someone in Maharashtra?
10. Let's support Kashmiri Militants because they are right in killing and injuring innocent people for the benefit of their state and community.
11. Let's throw all MNCs out of Maharashtra, why should they earn from us? We will open our own Maharashtra Microsoft, MH Pepsi and MH Marutis of the world
12. Let's stop using cellphones, emails, TV, foreign Movies and dramas. James Bond should speak Marathi
13. We should be ready to die hungry or buy food at 10 times higher price but should not accept imports from other states
14. We should not allow any industry to be setup in Maharashtra because all machinery comes from outside
15. We should STOP using local trains.... Trains are not manufactured by Marathi manoos and Railway Minister is a Bihari
16. Ensure that all our children are born, grow, live and die without ever stepping out of Maharashtra, then they will become true Marathis

Watch Heroes..

i just now saw the movie Heroes....

i would not say its a great movie, neither is it a well directed film but it might be turning point in the life of some people. as it has been to mine.

It is a great story... a wonderful story of 2 kids exploring, how they discover and transform...

its simple and has simple lessons...

Its very simple to live for our own happiness, its however difficult to take up responsibility and become a Hero.

All my life what mattered to me was that i get my share of good music, good food, good company and other things that shouldn't be mentioned so openly. indulging in all these things gave me immense happiness so much so that i forgot what i could give.
this thought would have never occurred to me had i not seen the film. i pondered over the things there are in a Hero and things that i lack.
It was concluded that the Heroes are extremely focused, disciplined and healthy. which i personally am trying hard to become. Along with that, they seek happiness in their responsibilities unlike us.

watch these when alone!

i warn u again to see this alone or with like minded asses...

1. Russel Peters explains it all...
