I completely agree with this article. Being a tech enthusiast and moreover user of Nokia, AND most importantly understanding the importance of what made what role in history and significance, saying something else is an insult to Nokia and the ‘mobile revolution’ itself. Dam the ‘we don’t care about the rest of the world’ thinking ignorant fools, We are the world!
I came across this song by the trailer of this upcoming game which I’m dying to get (and equally dying hoping it releases on PC). The song is Not Your Kind Of People by Garbage. Although this record released last year, it perfectly sums up my growing up in childhood and even my current state. Just beautiful.
Heck it’s so beautiful that I’ll transcribe/put down the lyrics here so you don’t have to go anywhere.
We are not your kind of people.
You seem kind of phoney.
Everything’s a lie.
We are not your kind of people.
Something in your makeup.
Don’t see eye to eye.
We are not your kind of people.
Don’t want to be like you.
Ever in our lives.
We are not your kind of people.
We fight when you start talking.
There’s nothing but white noise
Running around trying to fit in,
Wanting to be loved.
It doesn’t take much.
For someone to shut you down.
When you build a shell,
Build an army in your mind.
You can’t sit still.
And you don’t like hanging round the crowd.
They don’t understand
You dropped by as I was sleeping.
You came to see the whole commotion.
And when I woke I started laughing.
The jokes on me for not believing.
We are not your kind of people.
Speak a different language.
We see through your lies.
We are not your kind of people.
Won’t be cast as demons,
Creatures you despise.
We are extraordinary people. We are…
Besides, one of my friends daily does a music blog with some cool music, you might want to check that out if you like hearing new different music.
Describe your ultimate escape plan (and tell us what you’re escaping from).
Some of these daily prompts like this one truly makes me confused sometimes as to what exactly I’m supposed to say. Or think, as a matter of fact. Right now in real life, if I were to have a grand escape, it would be from the sort of messed up life I’m in, just do something worthwhile and run from here. Just figuring out what exactly is that I’m supposed to or want to. And speaking of escapes, I just finished playing BioShock Infinite, a game which was long awaited and finally done. Co-incidentally funny, that exactly dealt with a grand escape with a complex intellectual storyline, and was very beautiful.
Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a child. What became of it?
Can’t exactly say, some books and some other small stuff. Nothing favourite in particular, but whatever I held onto must have been (or still is) dear to me, the very reason I kept them.
I was invited for the premier of the upcoming TV show Hannibal based on the iconic villain by AXN India and it was amazing. It’s 1 AM here as I type this so I’ll fill in details later.
Being a computer person, I guess so. I’ve been using many social networks for years much before any get public attention and many among them also slip away in the abyss. Well thanks to the likes of Facebook and Twitter, not only helps in being in touch with people and seeing what they are up to, today it’s a big plus for following your favourite bands. And not to mention all those good deals, offers and contests. I was lucky to bag many wins, including meeting many celebrities, actors and authors and winning cool stuff like iPods and cell phones. And my most favourite, attending movie premiers. I guess I understand how it ‘works’ than most others, or well atleast ‘make use’ of it well. 😉
… is pathetic if I have to describe here in one word.
To elaborate on this, I don’t know where to begin with, as things are pretty much messed up in all directions. As much as we all love to point fingers and bad mouth the politicians and government (which is true not at all questioning that), the problem is equally because of the ignorant, arrogant, unaware and not willing to open their heads or no anything citizens. But here I’ll stick to rant on the government for now.
For now on my part, the only service I can do is first be aware myself, and use my power of talking and writing. Otherwise this will remain just another one of the zillions of everyday rant without meaning.
Looking at the recent string of events here in the country, I want to talk about women. Being a guy, dedicated to the as we put it (which I still don’t know why really) ‘the better half’ of our lives, for her who probably was your first friend, and especially for her because of whom anyone who is alive on the planet (even if you are an animal intelligently capable enough of reading this) right now. And just note, while I don’t want to trivialize this issue at all by making some puns, just that without a usual pun or two might end up making you cry and your device wet and then blame me, we don’t want that do we?
And how do the proud men (and equally disgustingly women too), so called leaders and citizens treat her? Just like a commodity, piece of shit. Not being harsh, but the truth, No matter how proud one is of your so called culture, religion, community or whatever the fuck is its, facts show largely otherwise. The horrific Delhi Rape case which occurred in December 2012 threw the country in outrage and hit international news. I refrained from writing anything on it because, for what? What did all those stupid (extremely I might add) candle light marches achieved? In the recent years, I saw birth to a new class in society, the ‘candle march’ class who will do nothing to prevent something like this from happening, do nothing to help and only such drama while at it.
Oh pardon me, I was supposed to attack the government and not the foolish people right? Well the irony is, after that ‘incident’ the only thing which has changed is the increase in the no. of such sick assaults and rapes happening, and what’s the use if all this horrible acts which were happening for years brought to highlight but nothing done upon? And then comes the wonderful media, various NGOs screaming human rights and the politicians in the mix without knowing even basic communication skills let alone English. The horrible mindset which is so ridiculous I don’t even want to type here, I would rather spam tell the government go fuck yourself a hundred times and that would still be more decent!
Anyways, apart from the usual ranging from utter non-sense to false promises by the government to the momentary burst of enthusiasm by people, nothing much is happening. There are those who are trying to bring about change but just mocked and looked down upon by the real useless lot. So don’t be on the latter.
While the government has a lot to do to make things better, first change will start only from us, the people. It’s only your will which determines and what truly matters. Rest just follows. Respect women, and not only women but everyone regardless of sex, age, beliefs, race or anything else. Unless someone is not worthy of it and the world is better off without whom needs to be shot dead, but that’s not for you or me to decide.
That was my side, you can say from a guy’s perspective. As a woman, here is a wonderful piece I read some weeks back on Women’s day, where the writer nicely puts it from her side, how and only when the situation of women will improve when they stop sympathizing for themselves and getting so called special women privileges.
IndiBlogger had a meet with The Times of India for this campaign Mumbai For Women, an initiative to highlight the city’s duty towards its female citizens. A duty that the city (and I must add the country and perhaps the world?) has been repeatedly ignoring.
