But if a ridiculuous failing were to befall me or an unforeseen success were to come my way, I bear it to the grace of a 'deified' object I turn to in times of tragedy or triumph..
I find it more convenient to ascribe the fruits of my success or the lack of it to the object of my faith,the supernatural, something which neither I can see nor understand let alone proving its existence, than to my prowess or not having done enough to deserve what I wanted to achieve.
I practise penance,fast and abstainity for a certain period in a year to wash off my sins and be in the 'good grace'. Doesn't matter if the rest of the year I spend in practising all the tricks in my trade to con,cheat and dupe my fellowmen to get what I want...
This period is the only time I know the ones who matter are listening.
The 'rationalist' are the best when they come to 'justify' their fasting and abstainity during this time...
They say "the stomach needs some rest once in a while baba....Its good and healthy too..Lots of eating eating has made my system malfunction...." So true..But isnt the heart too been pumping in blood all day year in and year out...Doesnt it to deserve a rest once in a while for a month????
Not too long ago a cat crossing your path was considered an ill omen.It was a portend for an unpleasant happening.I know in today's time its no longer cool nor logical to be led by such beliefs in something as innocuous as the cat.But its just the 'cat' that has been replaced..My belief in the capacity of the power beyond that of my own still exists..
But I wait for the day when I dont see an 'object' beyond its utility nor consider anything apart from my body to be a 'sacred sactorium' which I can use as a means to achieve what my mind has set sights on nor believe in anything apart from my ability to think and act to attain what I desire...

The Metrosexual is in.....
The fairer sex has some stiff competition now from the gentlemanly clan.
Women now have more to complain with the tougher 'sex' too putting in their hat in the race to being beautiful and delicate...
The quest for the 'empty' pulchritude is no longer a sinful indulgence for 'the man' but a virtue for the ubermetro kind.
Men having facials,mascara, skin clearing, pedicure is not a youthful frivility of the rich few but a means to a 'beautful' end to every man.
The rugged macho look is a passe now ....
"sheee baba thats how watchmen and 'majdoor' kind look!!!!"
The suave, svelte and beautiful look has caught the fancy of men world over today.
The lasso slinging cowboy is out....
The Fair and Handsome clinging metrosexual man is now the new alfa male.
David Becham is the new demi God whom men wish to fashion themselves according.
A 'path breaking' advertisement of a fairness cream says it all about the changing times..
A guy walks along with the product nicely applied over his face and PYTs run after him calling out "Hi handsome Hello handsome!!!"
And if this wasnt proof enough,try watching the ad where a 30-something man's inner voice calls out to him when tries to cut out some grey hair saying "ek ek safed baal na chhato ab hair dye ka packet kaato".
A mehendi top or a jet black dye to hide your grey end is much cooler than letting the world know on your true age....
A fixation for the 'white' is no longer a teenaged boy wanting some 'adult' dana dan action from the west, but what a man a few years maturer than him wants his skin colour to be...
The conservatives can cry themselves hoarse but this is the stark truth. The final nail in the wranglers coffin has been placed...
Dirty Harry RIP.... :(
David Becham-- a hola!!!

Tyson Gay :(
It's hard not pity the talismanic sprinter who turned out to be the 'best man' to his more celebrated competitor after his show at the world 's in Berlin .After sprinting his ass off in those 100m the way he'd never run before and probably never will either,his pace was outdone by the jolt called Usain BOLT..and just like the other gays in India, Tyson was treated like a secondary citizen...No matter how hard he tries now he isnt genetically coded to do the act(beating Bolt) a fate that is shared by his namesakes in India who found relief with 377 being repealed and the unnatural act being decriminilised
The more said about the jolt from Jamaica the less it seems....But one thing couldnt have missed anybodys notice was the way Bolt was preparing for the disaster that was to befall Gay
"I am gonna do, I am gonna do it" was all he said with a wide grin with a full view of his jaundicized dentures...Guess Gay did let him go ahead because neither he nor the other 6 could bear the odour of plaque that he carried along with him across the finish line....
9.4sec he says he can run 100m in.Thats astounding, considering that superathletes like Sehwag and Sachin take twice that time to complete half the distance.
But its a pleasure to watch Usain Bolt hacking off records after records of his own creation...
And he might well come to India for the commonwealth games...Our own national champion is training hard for the mother of all battles .
Imagine Usain Bolt VS Anil Kumar...
Cant get better than this...
But Kumar insists he wont run unless Bolt is asked to come back from the finish line to where they had started before our champion finishes his 100 or he's given a head of atleast 50 m....
We have to give him a chance....
cant expexct him to be the next Gay, after all, the games are in India..

One flu over the swine's nest
The animals in the 'swinerus' a distant planet in the even farther silky way galaxy are celebrating to no end with the news of pandemic break of a deadly disease on earth. The say the humans are finally paying the price for using their race as a swear word in their language.
The mass hysteria this disease has created engulfing almost the entire earth has finally made its presence felt in a tiny country, India
It's honourable heath minister has already allayed all fears about the precarious state of affairs by seeking the best time to fufil his deep desire to proclaim a profecy. He says 33% of Indians will get affectd by the next 2 years..Why worry about contracting the flu then?Let 1 in 3 become 3 in 3 and then we will head towards a solution.Until then he's content with shooting his mouth off at the kin of the deceased and then asking for a quick apology.
People all over are donning an accesory that makes them look more like species from swinerus than humans(the most degrading form of abusal there).The 'mask' has come to replace the dreaded 'trishul' of Ramsey brothers that had profane spirits run for their 'lives'.
"Mere paas ma(sk) hai,keede!!!!"....and the inhabitants of the far planet are making merry that they finally have made humans look like them.
But the swines are not entirely happy cause they know their happiness is but short-lived.Their early morning 'mega meal' celebrtations cannot go on forever..The 'Earth sewage department' is already complainig of a shortage of supply and the captain of the spaceship which was to supply them with their festive meal at a discounted rate is also scared of travelling now...
So the head council of 'Swinerus Health and Sanity Dept' has decided to take it easy now and before too long, earth is to be set free of 'Swine Flu'

Thoda adjus karlo
The favourite of jargon that seperates us Indians from the rest of the world and forms an unbreakable bond within us are these GOLDEN words
These are by no means plain words that are meant to convey a thought or an idea but when used with the right discretion, strike an instant cord between the speaker and the person whom it is addressed to..
Try sayin "thoda adjus karlo" to a person of a gigantic bearing sitting on a feeble bus seat with three others of his size and he'll make you space big enough to accomodate a dinasaur with everyone else....
In a long queue for a movie ticket,while travelling in general class in a train,when an 18 year-old asks for a half ticket,listening to loud music that can damage ear drums of anyone unfortunate enough to listen to it,etc etc,"thoda adjus karlo" never goes waste....
Even the person most distressed by your indulgence would try and understandyour 'dilemna' and your helplessness at that...
Used with its extended kinship,"thoda adjus karlo" has an impact more fulfiling than intended.Though they all mean the same,there are a few technical differences that is apparent only to the expert ear which has been mastered to use each of them according to what the situation demands
Here are a few...
1.)Thoda adjus karlo pleeeeeeeeease :(
2.)Thoda adjus karlo na yaar aaj ke din....
3.)Thoda adjus karlo na... sorry ha!!!
4.)Thoda adjus karlo na bhaiyya..
This an endless list and even to attempt it is a mammoth task so,thoda adjus karlo aaj ke din baki me dekh leta na..... :)
