“At home Drawing pictures Of mountain tops With him on top Lemon yellow sun Arms raised in a V Dead lay in pools of maroon below Daddy didn't give attention To the fact that mommy didn't care King Jeremy the wicked Ruled his world.. Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today Clearly I remember Pickin' on the boy Seemed a harmless little fuck But we unleashed a lion Gnashed his teeth And bit the recessed lady's breast How could i forget He hit me with a surprise left My jaw left hurtin Dropped wide open Just like the day Like the day i heard Daddy didn't give affection And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
King jeremy the wicked Ruled his world Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today Try to forget this... Try to erase this...From the blackboard.”
Bullies…. We have em all over the place…be it in school…at the playground…in college…at a workplace.. they never go away….instead it’s a vicious cycle….the bullies stay bullies and the bullied become bullies in due course of time..
How many of us have been Jeremy (not in the literal sense of blowing our brains out)? Or atleast played a role in creating a Jeremy??
Trying to show the world we are better..stronger..people…while breaking down with insecurities on the inside… shoving the naïve into the hoops of sorrow and depression and lifetime of low self esteem…while we long treaded that path…
Ask me what a definition of a bully is…in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion, domineering and rather cowardly. Secretly hoping that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me. Truth is all of us are intolerant of contrary opinions…..some lash it out…while other keep shut like safety vaults…things locked are valuable things which others do not care to see…
Jeremy the wicked ruled his world unspoken... shook the rest of the world when he spoke...leaving behind impressions of things unsaid….leaving ppl regretting…leaving the blackboard with inerasable stains…
Whats the point…we all know how it feels but we still go on…cos we need something to trample on..something to make us feel we have made a mark..even if its on somebody!! It’s a vicious cycle…

Sense and Sensibility
The life cycle is simple there is no place for emotions..sentiment...drama here actually speaking. It starts with life and ends with death. u come into the world with nothing and u leave with nothing. People who say good memories of a good life lived and all is utter nonsense cos hello ure dead...ure mind does not function it is devoid of the riot of thoughts.....ure finally at peace.... we get all the warmth we want in the womb and when we're out...is a cold cold world... the price u pay for everything is non negotiable. We pay a price for death also...”Adult body: Rs 250; child under 12 years: Rs 125." this is also non negotiable…Pooof…ure burnt to ashes!!
That is the simple truth of life… but what we want from life is actually not that simple….
People travel all over the world for mental peace...serenity…the travel agents are the ones who profit the most from this stupid misconception that “PEACE” is available in some foreign destination for a price. Its part of our “human” nature…we need something to look forward to something that makes us feel different for even a little while…anything new excites us….cos if peace really did come for a price then we’d all be living in the same piece of paradise wont we?!? Atleast all the Pg3’s would…
Face it we all sadistically like our run-of-the-mill lives…even the man who says “omg ekta kapoor needs to get a life” secretly likes the saas bahu drama…all of us at one point or the other have watched them and were addicted to them… and then we blame it on our moms or grandparents watching it cos of which we were forced to watch…drama drama drama
Guys complain about how much time a girl takes to dress up and all nonsensical gyaan she gets from cosmopolitan…only if they weren’t so embarrassed to admit that its not the chick on the cover they are interested in but all the beauty tips about how to keep the skin clear and have a perfectly toned body and they love it when the girl takes a while cos it makes them feel special like their opinion matters.….drama drama drama
We all love drama…be it bold and the beautiful or saas bahu boo hoo’s or our never ending hunt for something better….we all think it makes our life better and worthwhile. Truth is nothing matters.....what we give into life is what we want out of it as long as we live. Cos after that who cares….

Mr and Mrs. Talwar
In an increasing trend, a totally innocuous incident of rage has led a father to kill his daughter?
But seriously how much of it is actually the truth? It sounds more like the police are framing the father for their incompitence rather than, them finding hardcore evidence to prove the case.
If he actually killed his daughter and the manservent why would he not dispose off the bodies?? being a doctor he'd know the best possible way to do so...unlike the clumsy money-fame- hungry mediocre kannada actress and her outraged naval officer boyfriend.
Lets examine the sequence of events again.... the father found the manservent in an "objectionable but not compromising" position with the daughter and Why did he do it again?according to the police there are two reasons on offer — him being consumed by passion for a woman and enraged by his daughter's opposition, as well as a desire to save the family's "honour" by killing his "loose" daughter —but wait they also mention.... "only further investigations will bring out the truth." so they still dont know what the truth is and they have so confidently pinned down the father..this is what i call abusing position and our right to the freedom of speech!
It took them more than ten yrs to solve hundreds of cases like Jessica lal...the road rage of the spoilt rich son of an MP, the scarlet case which is still "under investigation"...im expecting atleast another three hundred odd days..for them to "investigate" this one and come out with answers.
my oxymoronic state
Every form of happiness is private. Our greatest moments are personal, self-motivated, not to be touched.
How happy are we now-a-days?? Genuinely..is it the company of friends and family that makes us happy? Is it achievement in any sense that makes us happy? Is it getting everything we ever wished for? Is it the birth of new things? Is it a great day? a good night out?lots of booze?(lol)
What is it that truly makes a man happy?
I was watching this movie Last Kiss where the scrubs guy Zack Braff stars..as usual totally over rated movie...but what got my attention in the whole movie was the fact that the guy had everything he ever wanted and it wasn’t enough...the fact that everything was perfect didn’t make him happy...instead he felt saturated and “stuck” . Is that how most of us feel? Cos to an outsider looking into anyone’s life...it looks great..desirable..better than his in every sense of the word..what the outsider seldom knows is that to the man; his life looks like a fun house mirror....skewed..every scene so blown out of proportion that he forgets what the root of the whole problem was in the first place. Gettin back to the movie..hes so stuck that he thinks cheating on his close to perfect(cos there’s nothing like perfect.lol)girlfriend will get him “unstuck” and when he totally screws up everything for himself he wants the old things back!
Why is it the case with everyone that we seldom know how much something means to us until its totally lost.?!?Blame it on the human nature...but that would be blaming ourselves...more like an eight sin that Dante forgot to mention.. so lets blame it on... the rise in terrorism, crime, inflation, sixth pay commission, bad government!!!

whirlwind..
Round and Round i love to go...
in this whirlwind i lose myself...dispose my troubles..dispense my sorrows..
awaken my soul....im alive now...
in a world so dead..
every breath i take measures my life....in this moment i want to live...
time spins...trees look greener...sand looks inviting...
childish imagination runs wild..
... highlighted by the moon...
reality slays my thoughts..
freedom is not free!
