How ROCK should be.....

Loud and in your face - Rage Against The Machine

In my dreams I'm dying all the time
As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to make you cry
So this is goodbye
This is goodbye

SHIT!

Watched 50 first dates for the 51st time today. Nice idea. Can't be done but a nice idea.

I can't do it. I just can't take care of somebody else. I have seen my dad take care of mum for 5 years.....watching her die an knowing it.

I can't do it. I won't do it.

It is not for me. It is not ME.

I'm gonna take a break for a while.

See you guys on the other side.

What did YOU learn today?

Took this wierd route to get some new reading material today.....predictably started from music

No remorse (I wanna die) -> Slayer -> Atari Teenage Riot -> Neo Nazis -> Savitri Devi Mukherji + Holocaust Denial.

I do not endorse any of this Supremist Bullshit, but something I did not know is the extent of it's existence !!!

A hair racking experience

Background: My dad is a retired IAF officer. As you must have seen in most of the movies ALL the people (men that is) have verrrry simillar hair cuts. The reason.....well most of us are used to this routine: get to barber shop, sit on the chair, and tell him "Bhaiya baal chote kaat dena" (brother, cut em short). He takes care of the rest. So I'm not used to giving direction around my head.

Subject: Me, well I m a VERRY lazy and nervous person. Also, I am a civillian now. We(me and dad) recently shifted to J.P.Nagar 7th phase. After postponing geting a Hair cut for a month I had an afro which Carlos Alberto Valderrama Palacio would be proud of. Don't belive be(i have a cold)? THIS is what happens if I let my hair grow. Anyway so I landed up at the first place I could locate near my place. It was something called schwarzkopf(NOOOO IT IS NOT A BEAUTY SHOP! I AM NOT RETRO, METRO or ELEVATED RAILWAY SEXUAL! to go to a beauty saloon).

The Barbartist: Well that was a surprise.
1) He had long hair (a la Sanjay Dutt)
2) His shirt was not unbuttoned and CLEAN!!!
3) He was wearing an earring.
4) He was not burping AT ALL! (I was there around lunch time)

Close encounter of the Nth kind: As I told you earlier I am a nervous and lazy guy. I HATE people looking at me. So the fact that he had a full length mirror in front of me and every time I looked up this great looking dude (me) was staring at me, made matters worse. Now the barbartist was looking at me. I said short on the side, upar(top) se medium. I KNOW, he should know this without me having to tell him!!!

Any way if you noticed I called him a Barbartist. Well surprisingly it had a reason. This guy used to cut my hair then stare at my head (along with the guy in the mirror) think(!!!!) about his next move and then continue. Also, when you are using sharp objects on me, I would appriciate it if you place your weapons in front of me on a table so that I know what is coming next. But, our dude had this black apron and stuff appeared magically from its pockets. Sharp stuff that too!!!
After about an hour and lots of false alarms (His moment of deep thinking, when my head and hair were screaming, MUJHE BHAGWAAN KE LIYE CHOD(means let me go....not what you thought) DO and I was about to leap out of teh chair, the DUDE would start again!!! ) He did let me go.

This one hour period was punctuated with:
1) Him wetting my hair (With a spray of water u pervert)
2) Pulling my hair. That is how he decided if the length was uniform, pull the hair whatever was left protruding from his fist would be slaughtered
3) His switching the A.C. (yup they had an A.C) on and off. Not sure if it was for my cofort, his comfort or saving the electricity bill.
4) Him Mauling me. The excuse? Head massage!!!

I left the place feeling pretty light, my wallet that is!!!

BTW if you are wonderring about the mirror thing. About how have I been getting a haircut all this while....well the "BARBER SHOPS" usually hav a mirror behind you too and a tv playing some movie in a language that you do not understand and the guy in the mirror gets distracted and keeps looking at the T.V and not me!!! There HAPPY??

This is an untitled post!

Watched "the life and death of peter sellers" starring Geoffrey Rush on HBO some time this week. Sellers is the same guy who had you in splits in the pink panther series(TADAN TADAN TADAN TADAN TADAAAAAAAAAAAN....now try humming the bond theme...irritating isin't it? ;)). Well you never know what is going on in someone's life now do you??

Trivia: He played a tripple role in Kubrik's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Which ones? well figure that out when you watch the movie (NOooo not from wiki...when you watch the MOVIE!!).

The LIVE experience

People usually wonder why pay so much to hear an artist in concert? just go buy his/her cd...

Well the following are some lines from Jagjit singh's concert....not available on the usual album (well yeah you can buy the album of the concert but if u thought of that then tsk tsk tsk!)

mazar-e-kais par jab ruh-e-laila ek din aayi
to armanon ke murjhae hue kuch phool bhi layi...

lagi jab phool rakhne, to kabr se awaz ye aayi
chadana phool magar janemann, AHISTAAA AHISTAA!!

woh bedardi se sar kaatain ameer, aur main kahun unse..
huzooor ahista ahista, janab aahista....ahista.
[yahan huzoor aur janab main wahi farak hai jo lukhnow aur punjab main hai...juggu]

Some Gyan

Things seldom workout themselves...
They usually need a personal trainer!

;)

Sigh!

Selected lines from one of (sung by him) Jagjit Singh's ghazals...

satayegi jab chandini ki udasi...
dukhayegi dil jab fiza ki khamoshi.

uffaq ki taraf khali nazrain jama kar...
kabhi jo na socha woh socha karogi.

Kabhi dil ki dhadkan mehsoos hogi...
kabhi thandi saanso ke toofan uthenge.

kabhi gir ke bistar pe aahen bharogi...
Kabhi jhuk ke takiye pe roya karogi.

Jawani ke heere, haya ke bahane...
yeh maana ki tum mujhse parda karogi.

Yeh duniya magar tujhse bholi nahin hai...
chuppa kar mohobbat ko ruswa karogi.

P.S. - not sure if the spellings are correct.

Thanks Shubs :)

I belong to HER

I was born for her,
Just like everybody else, I'll have my chance.

My first cry was a call to her,
26 years hence, I'm still waitng for the moment

I have seen people reach her,
The peace of getting the final piece of the puzzle.

It is not a matter of choice, or chance,
It is just a matter of when.

She waits for me, with her arms wide open,
She will not judge me, just make me a part of eternity.

I can't see her face, I can't tell you if she is smiling,
I don't know if the tears on her face are of joy or sorrow.

Then I get out of my bed, and walk down the corridor,
She is standing there waiting for me.

I have never felt more alive,as the breeze blows through my hair,
As I fall from the 10th floor balcony, to reach her, where all of us were born to be.

ART!

This post exists because of Praveer's comment (he doesn't blog anymore so linking this to his face :).....) on this earlier post.

So I obviously landed on to this wiki page on Ron Mueck. I did not actually think it was art. That was because of two reasons

1) I do not understand art or what comprises art.
2) The pics on the page just looked like...well photographs.

NOW the punch....these ARE his sculptures.....I am posting the blown up pics of his creations (courtesy wiki) so that you can see the level of details and U tell ME if it is art??



P.S. I am a believer now....thanks Pravs!!

Dead Calm

Standing in line at the post office.
The counter for monthly income and senior citizen schemes.

Completely surrounded by old age
As nervous as I have EVER been

He can't see properly,
has to use a magnifying glass to sign the withdrawal slip.

She can't hear her cell phone ringing.
When she does, it takes her a while to figure out who's call it is.

Their readiness to help each other out.
The guy who can't hear properly, helping out the one who can't see.

The calm with which they stand in a queue.
In no hurry to get their money.

The politeness with which they lend you a pen,
coz you forgot to get one in the hurry of getting there.

The thoroughness with which they confirm the transaction,
Just to be sure, sure for the 100th time.

The fact that they won't stare at you,
coz, you did not let them overtake you.

The fact that they won't start honking,
Coz ur bike in front of their car just won't start, but the light has turned green.

In no hurry to get anywhere,
It is just a wait now.....

I was surrounded by a dead calm,
but it just made me uneasy and nervous.

As nervous as I have EVER been!!

Of cups and vellas

I used to think a capella is a group Francis ford coppola fans. Then I watched American Desi. U might remember the version of old hindi songs in that movie. Basically all the harmonies are created by the artists with a very minimal or NO use of musical instruments.The Band is called Penn Masala. A band comprsing of Penn state students and hence the name.....

Their compilation album(Best of if you like...) is called "Out Of stock" and well it IS out of stock. Now the problem is I can't get my hands on it. So, if you can let me know how do I get this one PLEASE post a comment....
