The squirell!





You are taking a stroll through a park when a tiny squirrel jumps out of nowhere. Where do you think the squirrel was a second earlier?

C

Here is the analysis:

You are very direct, which might freak them out. Something along the lines of "Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?" might slip from your lips.


LOL!

Life...



Have you ever speculated what life is about?

Or who you are?

It’s not about you being a human or a female or a male or any of the customary answers to that question...

Ever wondered what you are doing here? Ah, I can see some of your sullied minds working fervidly...

Try giving it a rational answer.

Can you? I think not...

Where DID you come from anyway? Oh yeah... right. Darwin’s theory. So... from the water
world...?

But what the heck ARE you doing here??

You are born, enjoyed your childhood. Then you grow up ... you keep growing up till one day you are gone... just like that. Done. Over. No more! But life goes on as usual for others. Few people might bewail your death. Fewer will remember you.

So let’s see. You pass out of your school with soaring marks in academics. Why? Ah, you’ve gotta get a place in a ‘good’ college. Then? You trudge for a few years, trying your best to advance in the path of your line of career interest.
Get a job. Work for a few decades. Increasing your family unit as you age. Stock up a certain amount of affluence for them.

Aggravate your health on the way... and BOOM! You are gone! Then? What happens

What IS the rationale of your life? Why do you have to accomplish those plentiful things? For that fleeting contentment?
We had a lesson in English. The scurrying of ants on this ‘huge’ earth is nothing compared to what is happening out there in the universe. One sentence “It’s like an atom in the universe... in a universe of atoms... “.

Your feat of things is such a trivial fixation on this universe. Uh huh... it IS!
Believe it!

Sure there are people who might say something like, “Life is short... enjoy it to its full degree, while you still can!”...

Yeah right!!! :P

You have absolutely NO idea as to what lays ahead for you...! No... Not those everyday ‘Nostradamus’ or... or whatever-you-think!

I, for one, have mixed thoughts on this... Sure my family comes first for me... But the thing is, I keep coming back to the same question... the purpose of my living here? What is it!? Huh?

Any aliens out there? No one knows... what the heck!

Any one who can give me an answer?

DON’T give me that “God made you... you are his child... “, reply!

Atheist, agnostic, call me whatever you want... I’d rather go for something with proof!

Sheesh! I haven’t found an answer... maybe you can help me out!


Incongruously, am listening to “It’s my life” as I type out my forlorn thoughts!

Taare Zameen Par

Movies aren’t my thing. Particularly on the big screen. Or better still, definitely NOT Bollywood. I prefer Hollywood horror and suspense movies. I’ve watched only a handful of Bollywood ones. The most recent was Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par.
And you know what? I am glad that I watched it. Yeah. I really am. I mean, it was a relief to note that there were no glossy “glam” females for a change. No lewd “item numbers”... all that crap.

But hey!
Try this link...

Kids totin’ pistols around these days.

Maybe it’s a good idea to wear a bullet proof full-body suit.

Or better still, get myself Reacher! :D

Any Reachers’ out there?

:D

:P

New year







Ok. It’s that time of the year again. The time for a new beginning and some beginning’s end. And no, I am not talking about the partying and the stuff. Sure. Go ahead. Party all you want. It’ll be over before you know it. Period. Party pooper? Me? Nah.

I happen to be talking about that thing. New year, new endeavor, new this, new that... you know. New. Or rather, the “so called new” Am sure that if you hit search on it, you’ll get a load of blogs.

You know that little promise you make to yourself before the dawn of the new year? And where you promise to keep that promise? Ah, I think you got what am talking about. Yes, new year resolutions. You made yours? Or rather, have you at least thought of making one? Huh? What? I can’t hear you. Oh wait. You did huh? No? You dint? Oh! Whatever.

You’re asking if I made one? I don’t know. I mean, I seem to be making “resolutions” all year long. Like yesterday, I resolved to clean my bookshelf every two days. I still haven’t done it yet. And the two days are almost up. What a great start there. I don’t keep them. Course there are some that I do keep. But that would be more like a necessity, you know? And to make one at the start of the year? You expect me to remember what I made? LOL!

Think about it. You keep making resolutions pretty much all day long. Don’t say no. You might be doing a Pinocchio, buddy.













You Probably Won't Keep Your New Year's Resolution

Something isn't quite right with the resolution you've selected. Maybe it's time for a different one?

A eulogy... to a well organized mind.
















JK Rowling taught her readers a lot of things. Or rather, she gave her readers a lot to think about. The Harry Potter series might have ended. But I am sure that no one’s gonna forget Harry and his experiences with his pals in next to no time. For one, two more movies are yet to come; for another, the magical world of Harry Potter won’t fade away easily. And who knows what else is in store for HP fans. Cartoons, more new games, a television series, a comic book (now that’s something!), a sequel, what-not!

Now before you read any further, let me make it very clear that the title of this blog entry refers, not to the author, but to one of the characters, namely, Albus Dumbledore. Albus Dumbledore is, by far, one of the most intriguing characters in fantasy fiction. Or at least that’s what I feel. Indeed, among all the characters in the HP series, Dumbledore’s is the one I’d love to play the part. I don’t think the movies have done any justice to his character. Or to any of the characters, mind.

Dumbledore was a man of words, and of hidden deeds. Deeds for ‘betterment’ (or should I say “for the greater good”? :P ). He thought a lot. About a lot of things.

A typical wise old man? Nah. Much more than that.

- An old man... if you’d call being over a hundred and fifty years old.

- An astute old man. Not to mention being an extremely perceptive one.

- An astute old man with an uncanny sense of humor. Yeah I know. I’ve seen that a lot of times in the books. Quite silly actually. But hey! Remember? A hundred and fifty?

- We know, from Albus Dumbledore's chocolate frog card that "Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the dark wizard Grindlewald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood and his work on alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel."

So wow! A brainy one! Ok. That was pretty lame. But then, I guess you know what I am
talking about.

- In the first book, Professor McGonagall has a conversation with Dumbledore in which she points out that he knows all of the Dark Magic, but that she believes he chooses not to use any of it. So, just cause he dint use any of the, presumably, powerful, dark curses and all the stuff, it does NOT mean that he did not have any knowledge about it. In other words, if he didn't use a spell then, then that means he would NEVER use it. No... It doesn’t necessarily mean that, dude.

Ah... nobility. Yes. Dumbledore was indeed a noble person.

- Dumbledore was the one that brought Voldy into the wizarding world, and he was one of the people that taught him. Hence Tom Riddle had it fixed in his mind that Dumbledore was superior to him. Hence, when he actually managed to surpass Dumbledore in skill and power... Nopes. Voldy never really did ‘surpass’ Dumbledore in “skill and power”. But yeah, Dumbledore was indeed superior to Voldy in many ways. Dumbledore was a very skilled wizard. There was no one as powerful, as potent, as awe-inspiring as him, before him, and am sure that there won’t be any after him either.

Anyway, Dumbledore was a brilliant character to be introduced to the readers by JKR. And really, I am quite out of words to er... express my views on this. But I guess that you get my drift. All in praise of Dumbledore!!!
