Thats life now...

...of economic recession, bad movies, wrong office projects, to disloyal friends, to bomb blasts... the ups and downs of life... the mood swings... to everything that should have worked... to flopped plans... to unplanned events... ... and the belief that everything will finally workout.

Just Stumbled upon...

i know that you have changed, i have changed... i know that our priorities have changed... i know you don't consider me of any value nor do i The emptiness is felt and not thought of... but still the emptiness pulls me down... its not being practical i know... ...but i cant change what i feel... i can forget that i had fallen down... but i can not force myself to not feel the pain i had in that fall... people don't understand anything else when they are in love... the only thing that matters to them is that they are love... there is no point trying to convince you now... b'cos you wont even listen to me i know for sure... you may hate me now, and even i may try too... but i have loved you too much, i can't hate you anymore... i don't want to have you back for sure... but being hated by someone i had loved so much is not for sure...

Need to boycott Malaysia Tourism

Was reading the following link sometime ago to know more about Malaysia before deciding to make it my Honeymoon destination. I was shocked to read the following line. "all Malays are required to be Muslim as defined by the Malaysian Constitution." Even though Malaysia has near to about 48% non-Muslim population, it has made Islam the official religion of Malaysia. Non Muslims are treated as second grade citizens in that country. I later realized any country that has a little over than 50% Muslim population ill treats the other part of the population. There is absolutely no human rights for other religion people in that country. Why do we have to bother about the treatment there? Because most of the population are migrants from India and are Hindus. What can we do? Don't go to Malaysia for tourism. Tourism is the main source of income for Malaysia. If we start to boycott Malaysia, they will be under pressure to change their discriminating government policies.

Hypocrites...

"Moving on" has been heavily overused by various people for their selfish needs. Its not the affair-breakup scenario i am talking about. It is been mostly used to cover up their selfish deeds and mean tactics. They are more than friendly while taking a favor. When you ask for some favor, they behave as if you are some irritating person who has no other work to do. When you try to confront them and point out that they were in the same position before, the words you hear are "move on man". Hell with the hypocrite lifestyle of the people who have crossed all levels of meanness and selfish mentality and in turn term these as "highly matured behavior" and the spirit of living high...BULLSHIT...

Rock On !!! - Its Magik

Nice movie!!! After a long time a movie which strikes all the right chords. Its a story more about the human feelings and relationships, than the music. The best thing i liked about the movie is its originality. From Farhan singing his own songs to the story to the digression from the usual Bollywood style of film making. At the same time it does not senseless mimicking of the western style of film making. No sense less comedy. No running around the trees, no making fun of Indian culture. Farhan is natural in his acting debut. But its Arjun who stands apart in the acting department and shows that experience makes anything prefect. Purab is best at what he does. "Dil Chahta hai" had done a similar attempt, but had some running around the trees types of compromises. This is a pure break away style. It also does not try to do justice to all the four stories of four friends. It takes only the necessary intersections between their life. The ego between friends, their differences, ...
