Mind (your) language!

Having a blogger account means you can have a webpage the way you like, with the words you want in it, with utterly useless and pointless posts like this at one o’ clock in the morning :P, and also with the language you prefer from a list of 40 languages that blogger supports.
Speaking of languages, I wonder how sophisticated it is in this world. Webster dictionary online defines language as “the words, their pronunciation, and the methods of combining them used and understood by a community”. Well, it is sophisticated to define love, to define God, to define sin, to define imagination, to define definition, to define itself!
It was hard for people living in the Stone Age to express what was in their mind to the fellow barbaric, raw-flesh eating man in his loincloth. It was language, which was very primitive and limited at that time, which shattered the invisible barrier between their minds and helped them understand each other’s mind completely. Man made his mind transparent with the use of a tool called language.
Language evolved with every species in this world, and just like humans, who predominantly rule this tiny speck we call as earth for so many millennia now, language has a very firm upper hand over everything in this world. Without language there is nothing meaningful in this world. But, with all this vocabulary, with all this sophistication in language, did language fulfill what is expected of it or it would be better to ask “are we still using it to express what’s in our mind?”
In this fast-paced world some use machines to find out whether a person is lying or not, some use the magical word ‘trust’, and nobody knows for sure what the other person is thinking! They just have to trust the person or the machine. Increasing misunderstanding between families, friends, dear ones, increasing divorces, all these things stand as evidence. A person in this world seldom spends a day, without using language to hide what’s in his/her mind. It’s hard to spend even a single day, by expressing everything that comes up in our mind! Now a man’s mind is completely hidden with the same tool called language.
Everybody is born innocent and everybody is good at their heart, but not everybody is good at their actions. ” It's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you”. Whatever comes out of your mouth, cannot be taken back. So, mind your language!

Gone Are Those Days When (GATDW)...

GATDW your mom pins the handkerchief with your shirt because you lose one everyday, and somehow you manage to lose the pinned kerchief too, with the PIN! Achievement!
GATDW you wait for lunch hour so that you can see your mom again but you realise five minutes later only that it's not even the first period! Those long hours of waiting!
GATDW you wait for your dad to return from office with a chocolate everyday, which never gets repeated at least for two weeks. Pure happiness, in your dad's face!
GATDW the girl sitting near you, fights with you because your note has just crossed the line, which she drew on the bench. Stupid then, memories now!
GATDW 'senthil anna' serves delicious vada and sweetest bholi's. Taste buds' Heaven!
GATDW you wait for 'swimming period' and wonder how it gets over before you realise it.
GATDW you sit in music class with your keyboard in front of you and let your mind wander near the auditorium where your favourite yoga classes would be going on.
GATDW a thin guy steps up to you in the basketball court and starts talking to you like you are his friend for ages. After the thin guy finishes, you'll reply, very modestly 'i joined this school only yesterday da!' Friendship!
GATDW you play a basketball match 10 vs 12th, the whole school watching and the funniest thing will happen when everybody is back to their classes and when the national anthem starts! *confidential part, censored from blog* ROFLLLLLL!

School days, man i miss them!! Wish i never grew up. Nostalgia!
Gone are those days! Long gone! :(

Stuff

So where was I? Yes. Back to blogspot. This following post was supposed to be posted a few days back ending my big exile from blogging, but due to obvious reasons, it’s getting posted today.
It’s said that time is like a flowing river and all what we have is the present moment and also that it doesn’t wait for anyone. Time is always constant. It’s not random. I don’t know what will happen to me in the next twenty minutes, but I know one thing for sure. The next twenty minutes will surely come and it will be lasting for twenty minutes (unless I travel at half the speed of light)! I may feel that the time is moving very slowly or very swiftly, but it’s not the time which is moving slowly, it’s your life.
All these days, I mean my no-blogging days, time played it’s trick on me too. I had days which went just like that, and of course there were days which never seemed to end. There were a lot of things I would’ve blogged about and here’s some of them.
- I couldn’t play for my college in this year’s zonals, and as usual our team flunked at the match. As usual we will play well in practice matches but lose in the match itself. Kinda like deccan chargers!
- I watched a movie called “10 items or less” starring Morgan Freeman and Paz Vega. I dunno why, but I liked it very much maybe because Morgan Freeman did a wonderful job which he does in almost every movie, or maybe because Paz Vega’s ‘Spanglishly’ accent was ‘cute’, or maybe because Paz Vega was cute :), or maybe because it’s the first movie to be released on theatres and online for free download at the same time or maybe because it’s just an one of a kind movie. It’s not the greatest movie, but it was nice! If you like Freeman then it’s a must watch!
- It’s a band called tool, suggested by shrey, on my playlist now. There are some good songs like ‘the pot’, ‘Ænema’, ‘stinkfist’, ‘prison …’, but they are simply not porcupine tree! Steven Wilson rules!
- Dark knight, Dark knight, Dark knight. Everywhere it’s Dark knight. The new Godfather, I would say. It has everything in it, from great screenplay to great dialogues, from great direction to great acting, from great stunts to great ‘jokes’, it has everything. It’s amazing that so much could be done with a ‘comic book movie’ and it’s even amazing that many people does not see it as a superhero movie. Though, the only face you remember when you come out of the theatre is the paint-covered face of Heath Ledger, the movie has a lot of memorable moments and memorable dialogues. Nobody would’ve done the job better than Bale and there is Freeman and Caine as usual with their excellent acting . Dark knight, proof that only action and amazing visual effects is not needed to create a superhero movie and proof that even ‘comic book movies’ can be a masterpiece rather than stupid movies like the ‘superman returns’ :|
- This year GCT hosted the 13th brainstrain, and unfortunately I couldn’t be a part of it :( and it was my very own school which came first!
- A committee from “National Board of Accreditation” visited our college for the renewal of accreditation status. Meh.
- Pixar proves that animation movie is not only meant for kids with it’s latest and undoubtedly it’s best so far, WALL-E. So much values and so much satires, not an unusual in Pixar movies.
- Prison break has become more predictable, or maybe they should stop it with this season.
- 5 semesters have passed by and I still don’t know why I am learning so much things, writing them in a piece of paper for three hours and calling myself an engineer!!

United We stand

Finally, a horde of inhuman 'man look-alikes' were slaughtered in a more humane way, I would say, considering their acts, at the end of the third day. The media are calling this the 'India 9/11', but what I feel is that we should forget this and bring back Mumbai the way it was on November 26th morning. This is not a big win for Indian cricket team over the Australians to remember. It's not dear ones who stabbed our mother India's heart, but it's the darkness trying to cast a shadow over her footprints.
It's good to see many angry bloggers expressing their disgust towards these 'schizophrenics', aptly put by my friend, it's good to see people joining hands and praying for the souls which unwillingly departed, and it’s good to see some good hearts really weeping for the departed. Let the departed rest in peace.
Let us all try to forget the terror and remember the innocent young souls like sandeep unnikrishnan, one of the most valiant, selfless, real heroes of our nation.

guns, bombs, blood - The Happening

It's that familiar feeling! The feeling I've been missing all these days! The kind of feeling you get when you sit in front of your computer, hearing a playlist that you created spending a lot of time, and letting your thoughts and imaginations flow through your finger tips (literally).
It's wonderful to be back, BlogSpot!

A rather sad welcome I would say after reading the papers today morning. The front page of “THE HINDU” read “RASH OF TERROR ATTACKS IN MUMBAI” with a photograph of an injured man being carried in a trolley used to carry freight in railway stations! The paper went on to say “A.K. Sharma, Railway Police Commissioner, said two or three persons, carrying AK 47 rifles and grenades entered the Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus with AK 47 rifles at 8.35 p.m. and opened fire indiscriminately and the panic-struck people rushed out.” The first thing that came to my mind was, apart from the fact that AK 47 is mentioned twice in the sentence, “is this a dream?”
The death toll is over a 100 now and still there are hostages with a gun pointed at their face. Now I am convinced and very pissed off that it is NOT a dream.
General Manager, Taj hotels, the dream job for many people. Not from today! Taj hotel GM’s wife and three children butchered by these insensate, inhuman living things who are, in their own way, sane! I remember reading a quote “We are sane in our own crazy ways” from my friend's blog, only this time I prefer not to grin.
I have been to railway stations a lot of time in my life. I haven’t seen a single man with a Kalashnikov in his hand, emptying his rounds at innocent people, all in the name of God? Or because of the fact that he lost hope in human life and he had no other option but to join a terrorist organization? It’s a highly impossible event, that too in India, or that’s what I thought! These things are happening right now as I type these words with an extra force on the keys, maybe because I am very angry to see this nation like this!
The England cricket team have left, the champions trophy has been postponed by an year, Mumbai stock exchange-closed, a man with gun and grenades at railway station, foreigners held as hostages at hotels which stood majestically over a century, terrorists stealing police patrol cars and roaming around the city shooting at people, bombing in major cities, and not to mention, I am sitting in a city where more than 10 bombs took the life of many souls. I wouldn’t be surprised if I see a guy walking over to me and asking for me to kneel not with a knife or switchblade in his hand, but a .45 or even a Kalashnikov! Is this where India is heading? Will India be a superpower in the year 2020 or will Indian schools announce Kevlar as the uniform?
Why do these ‘animals’ do this? What are they trying to prove by killing innocent people? Are they going to rule a world where there is nobody left to rule? Let them blow up a building, we can rebuilt it. Why hotel managers, why people in railway stations?
I don’t know whether to be happy that I didn’t happen to be in these places when it happened or sad that the country I am in is on fire. Whatever maybe the case, the hard thing is “we humans are destroying this world with this civilised life, more than saving it!”

Fear

Back to Blogspot! From now on, i will be posting my stories in my wordpress blog (so that i can protect them) and i will be posting my irrelevant ideas here in blogspot :D



"When I was young, I couldn't sleep at night.
Because I thought there was a monster in the closet.
But my brother told me there wasn't anything in the closet but fear. And fear wasn't real. He said it wasn't made of anything, it was just
air. Not even that. He said you just have to face it.
You just have to open that door,
and the monster would disappear."
A quote from the famous TV series, prison break.


"valiance is hiding your fears from your enemy"
-Kamal in kuruthi punal.


Both of them tell the same thing. Everybody fears. Only the entity (not necessarily physical) which frightens them vary.

So here is a tag about fear!
I tag chandler, shiv, shankar, vatsa, deepak, tubelight!



1. What do you fear the most? (other than cockroaches!)
I am very very scared of heights, scared of snakes and scared of this! :|

2. what is the Scariest moment when you were with your friends?
Nothing of that sort. Results maybe! :D

3. Uncommon/weird/interesting/surprising phobias that you have.
pressure cookers!! I am very much afraid of pressure cookers!

4. You know its not possible, yet it scares you! (If any!)
This is really silly. The Antagonist of my story, scares me sometimes. I created him, yet he scares me!

5. Which character scared you the most? (movie, novels,etc)
Dr.Hannibal lecter!

6. Fears that you had during your childhood like 'the infamous boogeyman under the bed' or 'the monster in the closet'?
We had this big tank in our house. Its an open tank and it was in our bathroom.(kinda like a bathtub but this was made out of cement and very big!).








(What do you expect? Big tank full of water! what more? Monsters come out of it!)



P.S: The starting lines (the tune) of the track 'Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi' from 'jaane tu...' are familiar! :O
