Being opinionated.


"Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks."

~ The Dead Pool (1988), Home for the Holidays (1995)

But even with that people don't feel like rethinking on what they even stand for, and sometimes it gets out of control. It becomes stupid.

Why is it that most people like people to think slower than themselves (for the exception: there are people like Binayak Sen to think different than most of the rest of us).

Maybe because it is easier that way, I guess.

Freedom at last for Binayak Sen.


I read first about Binayak Sen from CMC Vellore itself. I'd gone there with mom for her ailment.

The news about him was stuck on a noticeboard, that he'd been arrested and jailed wrongly victimized on charges of sedition.

I followed on the news, all through. Tehelka did a wonderful piece about him, and it further peaked my interest about him.

To see him walk out of jail, where he'd spent some 24 months, is real relief, that justice still exists. Hopefully, all the charges against him will be dropped and, people and government will realize the realities with the Salwa Judum, who Binayak (he's now the national Vice-President of PUCL) fights.

Good people do have their place on earth.

A new leash of life!


Fresh.


I needed a break. A real one. So I set out to re-theme this blog. I hope I've not done a bad job tweaking the Typoork theme by Antonio Lupetti. He's an awesome guy. You should see what he's done to his Blogger(!) blog!! Blogger hasn't looked better!

He opened up the possibilities. I chose to have an open mind. And, here I am ...

Why do people compromise on dreaming?


Why is it hard to dream? To think big ... and out of the box?
To rephrase it in another way, looking at it ... from a different point of view, why do people fear to dream?

People limit their dreams. The point upto which they dream, they define and, then ... would be complacent with what they are at with life. It becomes scary to go beyond, is it? Or, rather ... we won't bother to. It's easier not to care, right?

My point is that, people shouldn't stop dreaming. To stop dreaming is to become static in a way of thinking. To me, being static, is a sort of death. Actually, it's darn too boring too.

Think about it.

wit and wisdom


Wisdom dawns upon me. I need to spend more time studying. Even if it means going through crappy pages of awkwardness you'd rather not internalize cross-checking it with the syllabus.

So, if you find me around, send me back to studying.

Another thing, adding to my worries is that time is running out for me. It's enticing to have time race with you. But, after a while, when you see it flash before you and ... you're tired to even look up and take notice, it gets scary.

This thing has been persistently worrying me. Okay, it's a new day, maybe ... if I think too much, there'll be a new way of looking at it!

Good day!

Randomness is at stay again!


Yes, I need to have those random spurts of randomness in my life. To make it less mundane. Hope everyone's with me.

This isn't a new beginning or just that ... I'm high from some Simon and Garfunkel music, and/or ... I'm more crazy than you can imagine.
