Wish you were here :(

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

Odyssey Generation

Image
A few days ago one of my friends send me a link to a very interesting community called parallel mirrors which is very hard for me to define. It had a topic called "Odyssey Generation". And many people had expressed their own view points. Odyssey generation to me means that stage of life in a person which is going to define his entire existence on this planet. The stage where he/she takes control of his life and ventures forward on a path that shapes his/her future. The time or period in a persons life which will have a everlasting effect on whatever it is he does from that point onwards. But theoretically speaking this one stage of life which was just supposed be a passing phase has been carried over to comprise the modern day's man entire life. As soon as a child is born the first thing thats gonna define him and shape his future is the locality in which he is brought up. Even when the child is in the Pre-nursery, or (what ever classes that kids go to nowadays) that beco

Does GOD believe in caste/creed/GOATEE ??

DISCLAIMER :- I AM NOT HERE TO PREACH/TEACH BUT TO OBSERVE AND COMMENT Last week i went on a vacation/adventure trip with my college friends to many different places. And the last one of them included a very famous temple in the midst of the mountains. Now presently i have a goatee which somewhat resembles the traditional beard usually worn by the people of the Muslim community. All the people in the temple were receiving the blessings from the So-Called-Pundit, and when my turn came i went up to him and spread my hands in front of him to take the prasad and bowed my head in reverence to the almighty and also so that the Pundit might put the TILAK on my head. But instead of doing that the Pundit looks at me, and instead of blessing me asks m of what caste am I? When i told him that i am a Hindu Brahmin, he still didnt seem to believe me and looked at me suspiciously and started preaching to me that if i am Brahmin (a so called higher caste in the Indian-playing field of religion) then

Have a Backbone

DISCLAIMER :- I AM NOT HERE TO PREACH/TEACH BUT TO OBSERVE AND COMMENT The most important thing to have for any person/child in my opinion is a backbone. And a strong backbone at that which cannot be bent by the society forcing you to bow before their beliefs and needs.... of what they expect of you... of what they want of you... of what they believe to be correct .... of what they believe is the norm.... of what they believe are the rules to be followed.... Every one needs to have their own point of view, and not just follow what they are taught or preached. But question those beliefs and have a say of their own. In school when you are small you are taught to question the teachers if you have any doubts, but when those doubts leave the so called prescribed syllabus and moves outside it, you are rebuked for doubting the teachers knowledge and the great Scientists who have proved things before you and you are supposed to accept them as fact. When you go to the temple where your parents

Story of Orkut

Image
Once there were two neighbors. Orkut and chirkut. Orkut was a very indecent guy. And was always after skirts , While chirkut was almost a saintly person chirkut always preached to orkut the values of friendship and brotherhood ,but orkut did not listen. Then one day...a great scientist Mr WEBSTER decided that the name chirkut was fit for a CROOK. And the whole world from that day on decided that chirkut was a crook. Seeing that his good name was brought into dust chirkut left the neighborhood of orkut and went out into the world in hiding. Orkut now went under a tremendous change and really missed his friend chirkut so he started a website in his friends name that is www.chirkut.com and started searching the whole world for his friend and neighbor. Then one day...two crazy white people met orkut and asked him to sell www.chirkut.com over to them so orkut was very happy that chirkut's teachings were right and that good does come...to you if you do good for others but the two crazy

This is the first post that I am writing about my passions in life...which right now mainly consists of Mr TUX and "Ubuntu". OK now some of the people might understand what i am gonna ramble on already and some ....or should i say most of you must have no idea in hell what i am talking about.

Going by the newly formed tradition of this random blog. Where it is extremely difficult to predict what the next post is going to be about, this time I decided that I should tell you all a story. If you think that you are not a kid anymore and have grown over the age of reading stories, I would suggest that you go ahead and leave now, and do what ever it is that grown up hags like you do. So now that we have that matter sorted out lets get on with the story. Or wait…..why should I start so soon telling you a story. May be I will bore my unfortunate readers a bit more about the latest happenings around the world Real Harry Potter Weathers Pottermania He's not a wizard. He lives in Florida . And he's 78. But he does have a name with a magical ring to it: Harry Potter. This Harry's wife says he gets a "big kick" out of talking to Potter fans. Ok that’s enough news for you. I don’t care what goes on in the world and neither should you. S
