Daru , Palika and Spirits

Here's another 'what's new' post ...

I finally drank yesterday .... drank to my hearts content ... unlike in pubs where you have to drink to a limit coz there is a home you got to return to and you are driving ... this time we were drinking in a hotel room .. some of my cousins had come over ...
They got this Smirn-off citrus yesterday ... nice flavour ....

Other things .. I went to Palika again yesterday ... and like a lot of times ... all the MP3 shops were closed for a week or so due to raids by police and all. I bet all of them are mixed up ... the CD people and the police ... it's just that they close down temprorily to pacify someone high up.
Went to CP then ... and I found out that Pizza Hut people have started serving beer too ... Fosters ... had some of that too ... but I am not much of a beer drinker ... beer makes you fat .. and doesn't even give a big high ... so I always prefer Vodka/whisky etc. ..
What else ? Umm... Ya ... I spotted this shop in Palika selling Guitar learning videos .. along with similar videos for drums , flutes , etc. and then other videos had judo-karate instructions .. and then there were loads of music videos and concerts .. man .. this market never ceases to amaze me .. but I didn't get anything from that shop ... 375 for one fucking CD ? ... I'd rather download it from the net ..

And .. what else ?
I downloaded these movies from the net :
Shawshank Redemption
Snatch
Taxi Driver
Dr Strangelove or : How not to worry and love the bomb
Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind

And wanted to download My cousin Vinny .. couldn't find it ..
Then I downloaded this video of this song called Keine Lust by Rammstein. This group sings in German , but they rock. Nice video ... all dressed like really fat people and head banging and all ..

-----

Day before yesterday .. it was raining all day here .. lovely weather ... I went to college for that project ... but couldn't just sit inside the lab .. so the three of us came out and sat there enjoying the fine weather. We got talking on drinking and smokes. The talk shifted to dope. We were discussing how does it feel like after a whiff of Marijuana. Now I haven't ever tried them .. nor my freind .. G had tried it .. so she was telling us about the high and all. I made up my mind to try it once ... but again .. later that day I thought against it. Then we got talking on scary movies .. from where the talks drifted to planchette (I had to do a lot of googling to get this word right ..) .. then we sat there talking about planchette ... now I had always considered it a story till one of my very fast freinds told me he had witnessed it ... I have never witnessed it myself ... but I would love to ... then G began explaining the intricacies and the people she knew who practiced witch craft and occults etc.... and evil spirits and all ..... it was quite funny you know ... and it was raining all the time ..

Another new post ...

So .. lets see ...

What's new ?
TATA Indcom people finally changed my connection to an unlimited one .. and my computer has been ON ever since. I downloaded some videos , loads of music and I am now downloading some movies ... where will the world be without P2P ?

----

Anyways .... I have decided to stop updating ... what I am writing here no longer holds any meaning to me .. it is just that since the space is to be updated in a matter of some days, that I am updating it ... and that is not how it should be ..
I had started blogging for a specific purpose , back in December last year ... but lets leave the purpose ... lets concentrate on the fact that I no longer have anything to update this blog with ... I can't write anything like poetry , stories or anything like that .. I can only read some of them and admire them , though probably understanding very little of it. The other thing being that I can't write anything else too .. thought that this will pass .. but it doesn't ... I am pretty much blank ... anything I write here now will be only forced ... and that is not how good things are written ... at least I can never write anything good when I want to write "something". Whatever I have written ... most of the posts ... they were not composed staring at the screen .. they were composed in my mind .. the outine of the post and everything. And now when I sit down to write down a post , I can't seem to write anything ... I mean I can write a lot of things .. but then I'll fly off at tangents ,. just not concentrating on the post ... and then what will take shape will be a mess of a post .. and I don't want that ... I am sitting at home these days so I can't even update it with 'What I did today' kinda posts .. I hate writing such stuff anyways ... there is no other thing I want to write just now ... (And fuck .. I have written so much already ... having nothing to write ? ... but all this is just explaining the situation).

But what's the use of writing all this ?
I'll update in a few days with another post stating the new ways I got bored in ... just for the heck of it .. and just for them comments ... and just for killing some time ...

----

I can write a 'bored 3' now ... coz I am still bored ... It is 3 in the night and I can't sleep .. and there is no one online ... so I am all the more bored .. chat on Yahoo sucks ...
I feel like doing nothing in particular ..

Hmmm... I think I'll read a book then ... finish off with this one .. and hope that the next one is good enough ...
k .... Goodnight ..

Bored 2

I was getting really bored .. so I thought that maybe writing a post will help me .. then I'll wait for the comments ..
So here goes another post .. pretty random and boring .... but if you have read uptill this point ( X <-- This point , X marks the spot) , then read on furthur ...
Anyways .. I have nothing specific to write in this post ...
Weather is a killer .. man the heat in Delhi .. it got a bit like rain in the evening .. but the weather is so god damn bad ... and to top that .. I have to go to fucking markets to shop for the upcoming marriage ... how much crap can a person bear ? First I hate marriage ceremonies .. and then I hate shopping .. and you can't even wear a suit in this fucking heat ...
Then I have not had a drop of alcohol since the colleges closed .. I feel so .. ummm ... 'Daru-less' ..
And I am getting bored ...

And .. and .. and .. ummm.... I dunno .. nothing else .... got up today, brushed my teeth , took shit , took a bath ... umm.. got bored ... got more bored ... and will go off to sleep in some time ...

Was planning to post some kinda funny pic .. but I can't remember which pic was it that I had thought of posting ...
In other things ... Sigma Protocol is not a very great book ... but I got hold of a copy of Eragon today .. will read that next ...
Oh God .. I have written so much crap .. but that is what happens when you get bored and you get a broadband connection ...

Ok ... yippetty yoppetty yippetty .. that's all folks ...

Bored

I'm fucking bored. Nothing to do ... no where to go ... no money left to spend .... wtf do I do ?
I got a broadband connection the day before .. and believe me ... I feel even more bored now then I was before with my dial-up.
So I decided to explore some new blogs yesterday ... but it got really boring after a while ... and then I tried the chat scene on Yahoo .... and man does it suck ... there are shit loads of ass holes who come up there to chat with fuckingly stupid alias names that have all kinds of crappy adjectives like cute , creative , hot etc. ... with loads of underscores seperating them ... screaming out that they are basically everything but that .... I got pretty fed up and left the chat rooms. It was 4 in the night that time ... so I again went to all the blogs ... and everyone gets so damn lazy on a weekend .. no body bothers to update ... and then there are people who bring down their comment boxes ..
I tried Launch cast ... it is quite nice ... loved a few tracks ...
Ayways ... then I went off to sleep ..
Went to the college today .. and everybody but the stupid prof turned up .. so I came back ... and now I am again bored ...
Monday today ... even the CD shops are closed so I couldn't even get a movie.

I am listening to system of a down ... they are pretty awsome .. downloaded some of their videos ... good ones ... hear it if you like a bit of hard rock ... ain't very hard though ..
I also heard songs from this movie called Tajmahal (yet to be released) ... I really liked two of the songs ... hear them if you like ...... umm... I dunno . Most of the people around me didn't like it .. so it is up to you ... I really loved one of the tracks ...

In other things .. I finally left Atlas Shrugged and started with a new one .... Ludlum.

And ... ummmm..... nothing else ....
keep updating ... so will I ...

New Post

Update : (Sorry I am pretty blank to think of any other method to start this post)

Another close , crappy marriage coming up. This will not be as big an affair as some of the previous marriages I attended , since this is on my fathers side and these people do not have much money. Also this means that there will be no liquor :( .
These relaties came over to discuss some matters with my parents and I had to sit along yesterday. And again I get this sick feeling about marriage ceremonies. I mean .. get a load of this ... my mother and my aunt were discussing the ceremonies and to my surprise none was sure of the right way a particular ceremony is held. So they called up some old people to ask about the crap and then made sure of the ceremonies that have to take place. I happened to ask about the need for these ceremonies when nobody was sure about them .... "Everything should go according to customs. You don't know .. people tend to cath the smallest flaw in these ceremonies" .. fuck the ceremonies and fuck the people.
So this will be another 4-5 days of hell for me.

I have been thinking lately the importance of piracy in my life. Pirated books , movies, software, music and loads of other stuff. Where would I be without piracy ?
I went to the mother of all piracy markets - Palika Bazaar, the day before. And you have to go there yourself to believe it. That is one place that has all the pirated techno stuff under one roof. And the way that market has developed is amazing .. these people have educated themselves with the time. So when I go there and tell them to give me an AC/DC CD , they don't look blank, they don't look surprised ... they just take out the CD from their vast collections. And they also have all kinds of posters .. high quality ones ... football and rock .. and rock means serious rock and metal stuff like Pantera and slipknot (some of them still think that Britney and Backstreet boys do rock ... but that'll pass too ..). And then there were good quality football jerseys (though I hate wearing one .. but some freind was interested) , concert videos and all kinds of techno stuff like MP3 players , 4.1/5.1 speaker systems and other things. And to my surprise I even saw something that looked like a dildo .. though I could be wrong .. but I seriously don't think I am. Now dildos ain't a very big thing .. but considering that this is India .. well .. I dunno ... maybe I am not updated with the latest.

----

In other things .. I happen to turn 20 tomorrow (Ya ya .. thanks and all that) .. which means that I'll be recieving a lot of cards and other such worthless stuff. Now what I hate about cards is that they do not serve any purpose ... why send a card ?.. why don't you send me those 20 bucks instead .. at least I'll collect all the card money , have some beer and thank you in my heart. But cards ... are such meaingless stuff. Only people that benifit out these cards are the super big thieves that work at the international level under the name of Archies . They print meaningless stuff on a paper and sell it. People go out buying them and then they gift it to someone. Now what I don't understand is .. what do I do with these cards after I have read them once ? I have seen people collecting cards gifted to them ... but what for ? I find them a totally useless thing. And same for other Archie stuff. Photo frames and other crappy stuff you can fill your table top with .. pretty useless .. so I generally go for the "cash" option whenever some sensible person chooses to ask me what I want for my birthday.

New Post

I have nothing much to write about .. and inspired by MWNN's blog (no offence intended ... inspired does not mean the way bollywood films are inspired from hollywood ... it is more like one is inspired by Shakespere to start writing ;) ).. I am posting whatever that comes up in my mind ... read it if you got nothing else to do ...

----

I think I'll leave Atlas Shrugged for now .. it is getting too damn boring .. I can't help it ... it is like an overdose of Ayn Rand ... to much heroism ... so I'll start with "One flew over Cuckoos nest" now. Or maybe "The Godfather".

Saw Pulp Fiction yesterday (yes , all these years I never saw it) ... and man this what a movie should be like ... perfect ... wow ... this movie has become my all time favorite ... I've seen it thrice already . It is such an awesome movie .. it has changed my benchmarks for rating movies ... Seen it ?

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherd the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." (Don't give it a thought if you haven't seen the movie)
So that one dialogue was repeated around 3 times by Samuel Jackson in the movie ... and I really loved the way he said it.
This ..... ummm .......... nothing.

----

More .... I just saw Hitch , and I don't know why people liked it so much ... it was so mushy ... the chick was good though. But well ... I didn't like the movie very much. Tell you what ... I just don't have taste for these kinda movies .. so I don't generally like them. I just got too damn bored seeing it. You don't think that it was somewhat cliched ? Well .. I did ... dunno why ?

Next probably I'll post on "The Godfather" , the movie.

This week

I saw Parineeta today and it was what I had expected. Crap. Seeing this movie I felt that the only difference between this movie and the olden movies that were crap was that these days they have such a wonderful feel to a movie. I mean this movie had a particular colour tone all over the movie , details were looked after in recreating 1962 ... but the story was such a big pile of crap. And then Saif Ali Khan uprooted a marble fountain and broke open a wall in the end. I didn't like the chick too. So I would rate the movie 1/5. Thankgod I spent only 50 bucks on the shit.
Anyways , that was about this movie I saw. In other things I've been doing lately ... I've been reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and I've been working on a project in college.
Atlas Shrugged is starting to bore me out and I am still not done with the first part. But the whole book seems so similar ... there are always two types of people - the heros and the secondhanders. The heros always keep a straight face , love working , 'smile easily' at everything , 'laugh noiselessly' , and generally give shit about the other group , the second-handers. Everyone in the other groups is always concerned about each other and always tries to glorify values like humanity and other crap. Fountainhead made an excellent read , but this is like an overdose. Still I'm reading it , god knows why (and for this Ayn Rand will call me a perfect Secondhander or a depraved human being).
--
In other news, I got a CD today and was told not to open a particular folder. The folder was named porn ... so I went ahead and opened it anyway. Well .. the first clip was pretty useless .. the second one was good. It was just the way I like it. A woman who did not look like an overworked whore (and was beautiful too) , nice place they had for screwing, nice print , great music and they started off passionately .. I hate the porn films which start from a guy humping a girl straight away. So , the second clip was good ...
--
In other things ... well ...... there are no other things .. it is vacation time and it is generally eventless (specially when you go nearly broke at the start of the month) .. so .. I am just looking forward to sleeping and reading this weekend .

This post can get a bit sad.

I want to write something really beautiful.
I can't write anything remotely beautiful.
Mockery is my forte .. and I'm tired of it, not on the blog, elsewhere.
I'm tired of joking around laughing everything out.
I'm tired of not performing.
I want to drink a lot.
I am tired of engineering.
Why should I post this crap ?
She started blogging.
She writes so beautifully .. I may fall for her again.
I want to play the guitar really fast. So fast that ..
What is life ?
Who is John Galt ?
I don't know what exactly I want to do.
And this life ?
What lies ahead ?
A vortex of thoughts.

No don't comment and tell me to cheer up ..
I'll be ok tomorrow.

Nah .. it didn't get sad.
