Those were the days...




Early morning hours in college, after our long nights of getting wasted.. The days you are hardly bothered about anything other than your state of mind..!!

Negative Advertising

With the world being consumer driven, the consumer enjoying the status of a king, the advertisors are trying to please all, with their idealistic ways. Today with the media shaping an important part in almost everything one does, the advertisers don't fall back on trying to sell their product. Impossible, idealistic, not relevant commercials can still be accepted but the ones throwing a negative streamline of thought are to be strictly prohibited.
The commercials are basically designed to please their target crowd but it being easy to manouver a childs mind, who plays the key role in the purchase of the FMCG s in a household, the ad-man lays prime focus at them. Last night I saw a commercial where a kid shoos his friends away from his lunch box by telling them that his folks dont use the washing powder which kills the germs on the vessel coz he did'nt want to share his food, now indirectly the message sent across to the vulernable minds is not to share one s food with his/her peers. Likewise all the virtual superhero characters who appear soon after one consumes the product to fight the kids enemies motivates the small hero to encourage violence. Agreed, a capitalist only thinks of his returns but this is not the way one promotes his line of products.
If there can be a panel to review a motion picture and a censor board to make sure it does'nt violate the preset rules of not displaying too much skin, not encourage bad( I disagree) habbit like smoking, not second the notion of violence why can't their be a board to put a check on the commercials. One should not only seive the advertisements by what is displayed but by the message it indirectly sends across to the youth.

Ah Finally..

...Weekend again.
It was the good old schools days, last, when I used to long for my weekends. The anticipation and eagerness for weekends had almost died in the last few years maybe coz, no actually coz, every day of the week was treated the same. From the half week days of constructive work in school, with an infinite number of loops in them, to the full week days of work, with no escaping a minute, the wait for the weekend has grown manifold.
It is only on weekends that I get to post, I mean who ll ve the energy to post after 9 straight hrs of work in which u got to sit all the hrs infront of the intellegent box (computer, I call it so coz m doin research, its my religion for now).
Weekends, like the oasis u find after every five days of walkin in the desert. The oasis of alcohol I so love to drown myself in it.
May God bless the weekends.

PRICY VAMPIRE

The day you left I tried to hold back my tears
Suddenly I could see everything come true out of my fears
Needed to say so much to you which I couldn’t say
Wanted to hold you close and ask you to stay
Needed to tell you that you’re like the friend I never had
You always seem to make me smile when things went really bad
If I got to tell you, I got to tell it all
It’d keep you with me if you with were 3 inches tall
The vampire smile is a complete turn on
It’s something I always think about every time you’re gone
Never been so weak in the knees
Felt intoxicated, like I’ve had a dozen long island ice teas
Grinding and dancing the night away
Some memories will ceaselessly in my mind stay
My frequent trips and the looks no one else understands
I wrote my piece and it got washed away in the Mahab sands
Some things good or bad just don’t ever change
Some thoughts just go out of range
The head massages that would lead to something finger licking good!
I’m the innocent convent school girl from the hood!!!
Long walks that cease to end
Kiss me quick, no one is looking from around the bend
Seeing you again won’t be possible for a while
It’s funny how some people’s numbers you know by heart and don’t need a speed dial
Don’t want no branding
I’ll be there for you even if I’m the last woman standing
I’ve found anyone else who understands me without me spelling it out
Who answered all my unasked questions every time I was in doubt
Just want to tell you that never did I once believe the things they said
And that my feelings for you aren’t entirely dead

Written by someone i shared the best of my relations with.. She s going to UK and i ll miss u friend..

P.S. We were literally 600 kms away from each other... IT ONLY TAKES YOUR MIND FOR A RELATION TO WORK..

Wondering why the alphabets in the word are hay-wired?? Well it just correlates to the not-literal meaning of the above word which in itself has a zillion synonyms. Even the blood relations have so many facets to them, it is impossible to define or group the so called self-created ones. Every relation has a one in a million DNA characteristic. Branding a relation is the last thing one could do.. As Shakespeare said " wats in a name?". Without a legal entity( which itself in today's world is not hard to get out of), without a blood bonding, with wat assurance does one depend on a relation... With the emotional quotient, with a confused frustrated human minds backing?? A relation, a clap they don't materialize if there isnt a mutual consent. Its wierd, its esoteric, its confusing, its definition-less, its as tough to know its essence as it is to know oneself....

What Women Want...

Physical security
Financial security
Social status

...and I wholly detest this section of the feminine gender

Changes are inevitable....



...now with practical experience i second the notion.
From the dark being the day and the irritation aroused coz of natural light to the gettin up at almost sunrise and hitting the bed at exceptionally soon, from a long unattended hairdo to a short gelled one, from hardly a meal a day to perfect three meals and all the protien catered through artificial juices, from the daily highs, the sweet smell of greens to the only weekends of alcohol, from the no-routine-at-all life to a systematic, scheduled one life s transformed many fold in the last few months.
