Music does this to me
It's the final time, judgment day
Make or break, no time to spare
Triumph over the quest or fade away
Just like the scum or stand straight
And stare it into the face and scream it out aloud
(Growl/scream)
--------------------------
Follow my madness
There is darkness inside of me, can't see through it
As the mist of the blind covers it all
I am lost with no clear vision of what lies ahead
This hysteria is gonna make me fall
Deep into this oblivion I can't seem to find myself
For I am not the one who you think I would be
For I know who and what I am and I will retaliate
No longer will I sleep with this fear inside me
Will make you regret for your move on me
I will attack with everything I have got to end this all
This fear of me will grow into you like a tumor
Which eventually will take its toll
This poison will be the death of you
I will sink you down in your own pit of fear, rage and confusion
And will watch you lose control
Follow my madness

Olympic business!!!!!
So India finally has three medals at the end of the Olympics rush that has been on since quite a few weeks. The three champs Abhinav bindra won gold in shooting (10m), Sushil kumar got a bronze for his performance in wrestling (66kg) and again Vijender won bronze too in boxing. Nice isn’t it? Well should India be proud? That is the question which I am gonna chase today to find the answer.
Now as soon as the news of India winning medal at Olympics reached the Indian soil the political parties and the cola companies started to hustle bustle to rake these guys for their party and product. These business people started seeing these mavericks as their source to rake in more votes and moolah. It is hard to survive in India if you are in the spotlight because people like these try to distract you from your actual stuff. Abhinav bindra is known to be as valuable as Mahendra singh dhoni in the race of ads. These business people have got used to riding on the success of someone else’s back. Everyone tries to get tied with you as soon as you have done something that got you famous. I ask before the Olympics or even after being their how many people knew these names? Did they care?
Winning Olympics will now prove to be a bane for them because these business people will steal them of their sleep and their actual interests. I ask what role did the government or these business sharks play in the success of these champs? It is after they won these medals is that these business people are offering them discounts and cash. India lacks in sports infrastructure, except cricket, which is the main concern. These business people instead of awarding these champs with lakhs and crores of Indian dollar should have invested in creating infrastructure for sports. I mean take for example abhinav, does he really need 4 crore (minus the endorsement deals which is yet to come) which he collected from these business people? His dad is already gifting him a Rs.400cr hotel and he already has his silver spoon. So why doesn’t these business people invest that money in infrastructure? Sania was yet another victim of this branding business to which she surrendered herself and that being the main reason for her taking an early exit in this Olympics. Now I don’t blame these champs on accepting these offers because if they don’t them they will be tagged with having ‘attitude problems’ and ‘hungry for more money’. And yes they have done it so they deserve that kind of attention and money. Everyone will now try to sell their product in the names of these champs now. I believe India can take on the world in sports because we do have enthusiastic and energetic people but we waste our talent concentrating more on a game a like cricket. Parents too are to be blamed for India winning just 3 medals because it’s also them who don’t let their wards make sports as their career option. They are more happy seeing their son/ daughter become a doctor, engg or w-e rather than a sportsman/woman. Another question which pops up is why doesn’t India outsource sports people from outside just like US? US with 39 of it’s 600 sportsmen/women foreign born is on the 2nd spot in the race of medals in this olympics. And the funny part is the whole of its women’s table tennis team is Chinese. The US team also has an Indian Raj bhavsar, gymnast and Rajive kumar rai(shuttler) representing US. Why can’t India atleast do that?
Well all in all I hope that India wakes up to sports atleast now and these business people play their role in encouraging them and now corrupting them by throwing money at them.
I totally give credits to these champs alone because wherever they are they made it on their own despite living in a country like India.
P.S- The SAMSUNG guys helped me prove my point already by signing in ABHINAV BINDRA as their brand ambassador and also the I have seen the other two guys posing semi nude for some mag. CHEERS

all in the name of RELIGION
-what is the main use of it? to cause cultural disharmony and then use it to against/rule the country?
-what was the caste/ religion of the gods? who has the answer to this question we need to talk.
-it is said god is one but has different names--who gave names to him?
did he choose for us to belong to different religion? did he choose to divide people in sects? did he choose for us to use religion to our advantage?
it is said that INDIA's unity lies in it's diversity of cultures. yeah right the scene of india that it is today where a MARATHI wants to kill a BHAIYYA, a MUSLIM doesn't trust a HINDU, many a times a MUSLIM is an outcast, and what not. This diversity is a strength only to attract foreign currency and nothing more.
outsiders call us INDIANS but we call ourselves-gujrati,marathi,bengali,christian,muslim,bihari yada yada
a guy isn't allowed to marry a girl just because they belong to different caste/ religion. well does loving someone is of no importance? i personally believe that religion is equated to PRIDE.
religion is the strength of india? militants use this religion as there greatest weapon against india. india can easily be split into tiny little sects. why do i have to follow the rules of a certain religion? do i live for them? am i an outcast if i don't follow the rules laid by our ancestors? well then be it i don't live for them i live for myself and i believe i can be happy without belonging to any caste system.
We live in a country called INDIA. A place inhabited by billions. A place defined by its people as an example of “unity in diversity”. How true is this? I doubt. It is true that people of diverse culture do thrive in the country but are they all united is a point to ponder about.
During my childhood, I remember one day in school we were taught about the various religions in INDIA and we were told we all belonged to some religion and that was the assignment for us, to ask our parents to which religion we belonged to. I was very excited to know my religion and so as soon as I reached home I asked my mom to what religion did we belong to. And so she proudly said ‘KSHATRIYA’ is our religion and we are called ‘THAKUR’ or also ‘RAJPUTS’ and so I came to know that day that I was basically from UTTAR PRADESH and we are ‘THAKURS’, the upper cast, and the highly respected among our tribe. And we should resist making friends with people of lower cast and be close only to people of our cast. Well it wasn’t that only my mom had instructed her ward to make friends with people of ‘our ‘cast but every mom supposedly had done the same. So next day while discussing our religion during the lunch break a faint line of separation was visible. Some of us never shared our lunch boxes again. All this for just some stupid religion we belonged to.
The point here is -
Who defines these religions anyway? Some say the so called ‘forefathers’. Well I ask who gave them the right to do so? And why do we have to follow? Take the school as mini-INDIA. So before our exposure to the so called religions we were all united but as soon as we were injected with the RELIGION crap in our brain there was a line dividing almost all of us that was visible. So why can’t we live together thinking that our minds are diluted with the fundas of RELIGION. What does religion has to do with the way we live our life anyway?
But then again there is a threat that if we do anything that is not allowed by ‘our’ sect of people we will be termed as out casts.
for my own happiness i am blind to all this fundas of religion, cast, god and anything else that is there.RELIGION-what's that?

early arrangements.(a post by a friend)
an indian mother. an indian daughter. what can be better than to see them together.
if you happen to see one, eavesdrop on their conversation 'cause even i would.
it's wonderful, funny, depressing and full of, what to say, confusion?
what some people call gyan, or knowledge, to me is a bunch of early arrangements.
that guy, this and that.
yet it continues. it's the everyday conversation. education. marriage. children. death?
hm. i do not consider india as one whole country. it an overpopulated piece of land, where each and every state has it's culture. what does that have to do with anything? what does that mean?
that means you being of one state may not marry of the other. that is like marrying another ethnic group. they might be brown but, only the brown see the difference.
can the maharashtrian marry the keralite? the bombay boy with the malayalee?
no no no! no such nonsense is allowed!
che che che!
conversation maybe? if you happened to have not overhear one
mother: what can i do for you to forget him? stop talking to him?
daughter: [[silence]]
mother: you cant keep on talking to him. if he was malayalee...
daughter: if he was malayalee it would've made a difference?
mother: well, an educated one.
daughter: he's indian. indians are so complex. let it be. leave me be.
mother: i cant. you know if you go with him, you will never see me again.
daughter: [[silence]]
mother: what about that boy? remember? your friend? he's educated and all. he's very nice.
in this case the him/he or whatever is NOT malayalee and that's the big deal. he's indian but not malayalee. he might be a retard but, he's not a stuck up malayalee. the boy at the end happens to be someone who came to her mind and would be okay with her if the daughter did anything with the boy. good.
what is it? india is going to be one of the biggest countries in 10 years? okay.

neat!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live as I choose or I will not live at all
So return to where you've come from
Return to where you dwell
Because harassment's not my forte
But you do it very well
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide, I'm free To decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
at all, at all
You must have nothing more with your time to do
There's a war in Russia and Sarejevo, too
So to hell with what you're thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
You're so distracted from the real thing
You should leave your life behind (behind)
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all (at all, at all)
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all (at all, at all)
At all, at all, at all
so i am free to decide and so are you. no one else has the right to do it for you and you shouldn't let anybody else do it.

voices that scream inside of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- A soul in tension thats learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit - The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so
absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. - Until they become conscious they will never rebel,
and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.

i am so high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Am losing control over myself?
The drums are playing
Guitar strings going trrrrrrrrnnnngggggg
Music goes bang into my head
The soul is headbanging
I feel so elated
Am I mad? Am I insane? Am I?
Do I care? Celebrate life, celebrate the madness
Let it scare the people around
Let it out, let it loose, let's dance
Just you and me in our own way
Let our bodies thrash into each other
Let's have some wine
Let's get so high that we can fall
Into our dreams and never wake up to reality
I am still here in darkness

GLOBAL WARMING-NEED OF THE HOUR
As we are witnessing from the past few passing years, the impact of global warming is very much visible and should not and cannot be ignored.
Take a few minutes out of your busy schedule just to think about-
Why did 26 July took place?
Why was winter was so chilly this time?
Why is the summer so humid that it almost burns the skin?
These are just a few points to ponder about and few questions that our mind tends to ignore.
Global warming- let's take initiative to deal with it.
I am going to put a few of my ideas that I practice and can be implemented on an individual level.
I know after reading this a curious mind may comment that this is such a minuscule effort
but at least I will be satisfied that I did do something on my own rather than blaming the
organization and dreaming for that helping hand to take us out of shit we are currently living in.
1. Litter bag.
Littering is one of our main problems. We always tend to throw waste on the roads or in gutters etc. instead what we can do is
carry it with us to the nearest dustbin or home and then discard it.
I being a college student have to carry a college bag with me so I use one of the columns in my bag as the litter section.
Whenever I generate any waste either dry or wet I put it in the litter section of my bag and then discard it later. I also carry a small carry bag to put wet stuff in it so that it doesn't spoil my bag. It doesn't take too much of effort does it?
2. Shopping bag nuisance.
Whenever we go shopping to the market we always ask the shopkeeper for a carry bag to carry the stuff into.
The bhajiwala packs your vegetables in a polythene bag and we happily are on our way home. Later we discard that polythene bag and it ends up on the streets or choking that gutter which is most needed at times of flood.
If I ever am asked to go shopping I make it a point to carry my own cloth bag.
3. Utilize that paper.
Bored? Scribble on the paper. Nice, but don't throw it away use it the next time you want to do some rough work. Utilize every corner of that paper.
4. Use buckets.
While bathing or any other activity that you are smart enough to guess, always use the bucket instead of using shower or sitting under running tap.
This way you can save lot of usable water.
*I also tend to skip bathing some times hehe, doing enough ain't I?
5. Electricity.
It's simple. Switch off the appliances you aren't using.
6. Educate and enlighten the children in your vicinity about how earth won't be as beautiful as it is now if we don't make our moves towards preserving it's beauty now.
(since children are the smartest beings left amongst us)
7. Plant samplings in your balcony or your apartment. They increase the show of the house, they don't bite and yeah, can save your earth.
8. Children copy us elders. They believe in us to show them the way. So give them a positive example always.
9. Encourage use of recycled paper wherever possible. They do look good.
10. Discuss, Innovate, Implement.
Discuss with everyone you know about how do they plan to save or contribute to a better earth.11. Encourage the use of cycle.
12. During festivals too we often create a lot of unwanted waste. Be wise and think otherwise.
If you can then communicate with the dean of your college about the idea of placing dustbins throughout the college and also outside it. My college never had it.
Also placing dustbins in the vicinity of your society is a good idea.
