Random thoughts haul 2:

Just a collection of many thoughts I thought were worth penning/qwerty-ing down.

Isn't Facebook screwing up our language?
Facebook gives u an "unlike" option and unlike means dissimilar. :-/
It allows you to " friend " people not befriend. Not saying friend is wrong, but most of the kids haven't heard of the word befriend!

Thought 2. You may have come across the story of the hare and the turtle. The moral was slow and steady wins the race. But what if there was a third wheel, I mean like a third person in that race. He would have won if he could run faster than the turtle. So shouldn't the moral be, " You snooze, you lose." or something of that sort.

So my friend and I were discussing about this movie " 500 days of Summer" .
(I have to give it to him! I would not have seen it this way had we not had that convo.)
So...if you haven't seen it, a heads-up- it is NOT a romantic movie. And it has Zooey Deschannel in it.  (<3)

The movie is sad. It hits you, it walks right up to where you are sitting/standing and slams a hand on your face. Bammm! That hard.

The first time you watch it, you'll be like " that was shit." and then it hits you. The movie and all the sense it makes. It grows slowly taking its time to enlighten small portions of your mind till it's burning with realization.

That movie,  it is....
It's about how a relation goes bad, it's how you sulk in a shit hole for days and days. It's how you wonder if you and your ex could get back together. It's about how ex-es can be jerks at time and give you a teeny-tiny feeling that they might be ready to get back. It's about how something kicks you right in your gut when you see that "hope inducing" ex with their new love interest. It's about how you start comparing each and every detail of the newbie to you and calculating their weakness-es and your strengths and how you are better or worse and drop lower and lower as a human.

You go to the ends of the world stalking their bf/gf,  seeing and checking last seens of the ex and their new partners,  checking the likes on their pictures esp pictures featuring both of them. You lower your worth comparing yourself to people you most often barely know. And even if you do, you are you. The only one of your kind. It's a shame we degrade ourselves like this. And why just these, we do that when we discover our crushes are committed too, don't we?
If you say no, either you are God or you're lying. But then what's the use of lying to yourself.

And in the end, that movie is about how life goes on.  How if it does not feel even 0.0001% right it's not meant to be.
She knows it's the one when she meets her husband. And  any number of fights, arguments, difference of taste and opinion can't make a difference to the feeling of knowing this is that one person. This is something I want to treasure n go to the ends of world for. This is someone I don't want to let go off.

There is a population of 7 billion people on the planet and we've just possibly bumped into 1000-2000 of them. Hope.

There's this movie I was watching,  its name I can't recollect. There's this particular line that caught my attention.
" We know it(love) is special. Hence we do everything possible to hold on to it. Because we believe that something so magical could only happen once. But that's not true. There will be someone who will see how amazing you are. Love will knock again."

Ahh, made you sad/yawn?  Sorry.
Until I stock up enough thoughts to make a post, Take care.  :-)

Gilli danda induced retardation:

(WARNING: the following post may be toooo boring, but that is how this post is going to be. So DEAL with it)
Hello. Or should I say, WTH is wrong with you? Shame on you. Go drown yourself!...?

What is wrong with the world? Specifically my country today.
Going crazy is one thing, going way past retard is another. Never go full retard, especially when you have a choice.

People have sort of realized that they can do absolutely anything when they put their heart in it or set a goal or something, but brothers, all your energy is directed in the most shittiest direction.

I'm not going to be careful about my choice of words because people here aren't careful of their behavior. If I were internet sensation superwoman , I'd put it like this:" these people are bloody garbage!"

So why am I angry? T20 ended yesterday. And I still don't give a horse's ass about sports. I suck at it, if you don't, I have immense respect for you. But then that's it. Like don't come to me expecting I'd go, "I saw the match and.. Blah blah.." cause I haven't and I won't be.  So this ends yesterday and a cricketer's house is stone pelted because people " suspect" he was into match fixing.
Do you want a chittar to your head?

Now I don't know much about sports or even this match fixing news but even if people do, it doesn't give them the authority to go shake up someone's place. It's disappointing to see how people take law into their hands...esp when it comes to sports and in India, cricket. Cricket is like a religion here. People breathe gilli danda. It's such a let down to see the mob do such things, mob consisting of the people who went on a "fast"-ing spree and organized poojas and havans when the cricketer got diagnosed with cancer. It also makes you realize how fast people judge you- you please them for years, stand up to match each and every expectation of theirs but one fault...and boom! You get royally screwed and your reputation tarnished for the rest of your life.

Here people's mindset is such that they tend to give issues hardly holding worth in their life a much higher priority than the ones that require immediate and abundant attention.Why do they act laid back when issues concerning their life or future are at stake?

There are these so called "elected" " leaders" that we read of in the papers. They are into big time scandals, huge cases, get bailed out of jail every other week and what do we do? We don't give a shit. That's right. You heard me! Zilch. That's how much we care.

Someone gets raped/abused/molested.. You see some kind of injustice happening- domestic violence or gender bias... What do you do? Nothing. That's none of my business. I don't want to get involved in anything that needs me to be a witness and/or give a statement of some sorts. Why huge cases, take mini ones. You see old people getting ill-treated , what do you do."tch tch tch" . This also if you aren't too self absorbed.
Here's what happened at the malls yesterday. My parents were at some mall and there was no space to sit and eat. The food court was full of people just occupying stalls and seats so they could watch the match. And when others started complaining of not having any place to sit and enjoy a meal, the manager told them that the crowd had threatened to break down the mall if they were forced to get up. :|. So all the people with heavy shopping bags, kids, pregnant ladies, senior citizens... All of them were left without seats and with food trays in their hand.  Even langars have better provision man!

Seriously angry mob people, channelize your anger and eenergy better. Contest an election or something. You seem to have a fair "watt/auda/authority" , all your "contacts" seem VIPish and really important. Like please. We'd be glad to have a leader who can bring about some change.

And I really like how you work, " I don't like this. We bash this shit" . I know work's going to get "done" faster when you rise to power.
:-D

And as far as sports are concerned, to be good at a sport you need to have talent and loads of practice. So imagine being a part of something so huge like the Indian Cricket team. Sounds tough and intimidating, doesn't it? Some days you play well, sometimes you don't. Just like our favorite actors- some movies fare well, some don't even last for a week. So what? We burn their houses down, stop watching all their future releases?

 Everyone has a slump period. You, office-goer, I'm sure you have missed a deadline once... Let's be honest here, who are we kidding; ten times? Hmm. Now that we are on the same page, does your boss send people to burn your house down? 'Cause if he does that, that'll be way too mature a decision on his part. Seriously that's a great way to deal with things we don't like- destroy it!
