Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

John Lennon One of the best singer-songwriters ever...Atleast for me! (Sorry John, you are not my favourite Beatles though!)

Typing as I go on May make no sense on its own When you are burning through You wish the time just flew... Feeling so alone... Forlorn... Repentance they say will make all right, But for me its nothing but left... What do I do now? Whats mine is not with me May not be again... All that left are the memories... Memories of laughter... The pleasure... The pain... The parting...

Yay!!! India won!!! A thrilling tournament has come to an end and our boys won a crunching game. Pakis played well, infact I thought we were a goner with those sixes in the end. Misbah is a great player in the making and Pakistani bowlers were exemplary. Gambhir should have won the man of the match. Irfan Pathan bowled well, but Gambhir's batting was really good. He, Rohit Sharma and Misbah showed the world that 20-20 is not just about slogging. They played really good cricket shots. None of the sloggers lived to tell the tale to be frank. Dhoni is showing amazing character and in time he can be a great captain. Aggressive, but not in the irritating way Ganguly was. Are these young boys ready for big time? Hmmm...I think they should be introduced little by little, rather than completely thrusting them into the big scene at the expense of our senior players. My 2 rupees. The biggest thing that I saw. Something I thought would never happen. My father was watching the game intently. L...

Happy Vinayaka Chathurthi to all of you out there! Just wanted to share a cute picture I got as forward yesterday. Made me laugh eventhough things were pretty grim at office.

Read this wonderful entry from the Life hacker feed. Got me to ponder quite a bit. I was on autopilot for many years. Sure, I was traveling through life with my eyes open and my hands on the wheel. But it seemed as if I was heading toward some pre-determined destination that had been chosen for me by others. In addition, it seemed that whenever I turned the wheel to guide me toward this destination, that there was no conscious thought behind my actions. That really sums up our life these days. Life predetermined. When something goes awry we are very much disturbed as if our world has ended. Our spirit seems to have lost its quality. Mechanical life takes the sheen out of our spirits. Enough mambo jambo. Lets get to the questions to determine whether my life is on autopilot or not. 1. You know exactly where you will be in 5 years (and it depresses you!) Actually, I have no idea where I will be 5 years. I have got to an excellent start as a Technical Writer and without reservation I can...

Getting a little too lazy these days...No work and No play makes Rockus a very dull boy. Got tagged by Freebird . I guess I should be doing that now. 1.Pick out a scar you have, and explain how you got it. Hmmm...got a couple of scars invisible to others. Got a nasty 8 stitch just above my eye, in my eyebrow infact. Not visible until closely (very) observed. I got it on June 12 1991, when I turned 7 years old. I remember the date exactly. It was my birthday and the day of general elections. I went to vote with all the members in the family that morning. After the small cake cutting and all, I walked into a dark room. My aunt was sleeping on the floor. I tripped and banged my head against the edge of a cot. Started bawling and bleeding. I was taken to the hospital where they told to take me to the eye hospital. The doctor was sleeping. Considering that, she did a great job. The scar is invisible, unless I shave my eyebrow of... :-P 2.What does your phone look like? Like a truck went ove...

On August 15th, I woke up and fired up my mail. Was really surprised to see a scrap by Rahul Easwar. If you don't know who he is, please google. I was even more surprised to see this as the scrap heading. SAD INDEPENDENCE DAY I checked out the blog he had mentioned and was horrified to be frank. It had the pictures of the great artist MF Hussain. The pictures of the nude hindu Goddesses. I had seen one of the pictures earlier and was not very affected. After all, artists should have freedom of speech. But after seeing the entire collection, I have to say that Hussain deserves all the flak that he is getting and more. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing. One should be able to speak ones mind without fear and should be able to create things one like. Freedom is a right. Creativity is a power that not everyone has. As it is said in Spider Man, "With great powers come great responsibility." You can say that these Gods and Goddesses are just mythical fairy tales and pictur...
