life in HD

Life sure is fickle. One minute you think things might be looking up, then the next minute you have no idea whats going on..

WOW!

That term applies to a couple of things..... One is that I'm able to type this today. In days past I haven't been able to get on Blogger due to my connection. But today the internet gods have granted me permission to type. The second is that I saw the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. WOW! So, now that I can type...what to discuss???
why do i want to blog..cos im restless..in my mind..i feel.  dont know the answer to that one. will find out along the way i think. i hope. hope lies eternal in the human breast. swear, I write better blogs in my head before falling asleep than I do the next morning when I'm actually able to type them out .

....I've noticed that these last few years, and especially this one, that I've done a lot of inner thought. Here's what I've come up with so far....I am human, with feelings and thoughts. I am not a religious person, not affiliated with any religious group. This does not devoid me of having the same thoughts and emotions of anyone else. I am not afraid of doing things alone. I am content with my own company, but this doesn't mean I don't enjoy getting together with friends. I am extremely sarcastic, most people confuse that with bitchiness. This, in turn, keeps me from having 'normal' friendships. I am harsh. I shoot from the hip, and again, this keeps me from having the typical girlfriends that most women have. I love taking a nap.nad  i mostly lovve watchin movies..at least a movie a day.
I am powered by solar energy.I do way better on sunny days to get things done. But cloudy days are good for naps:))
I might be crazy, i might be not, it depends on who you ask! I have eclectic taste in everything...music, food, activities, home decor, tv, and people>>
I am hyper, and i can be lazzy. I have patience for most people, very limited patience for animals and no patience for certain people<
I miss lots of things from my past, but look forward to events of my future.
I have no regrets.
 I do not believe in taking advantage of family.

I am, at times, too trusting of people.
I do everything I can to help friends. I will give all I can, but usually get screwed.
I have many things I'd like to do, but don't forsee doing them.
I believe in past lives.

Some things I have a hard time letting go of.
I keep a lot of things deep inside. I'm into weird, childish things like fantasy books and movies. I believe there is another world within ours that we are either kept from seeing or just refuse to acknowledge.
I am many things, and nothing at the same time...

Life can go from 0 to overdrive in less than a day...lately my life has been just like that...not ours to reason why, ours but to do or die((:

Life is rapidly progressing into the digital age of HIDEF..high definition..or HD...either you can be HD ready or FULL HD...HA!! just learnt those terms...recently...and like everything else in life..there s not much of a difference between the two..to me at least...its mostly always a choice between the Devil and /or the Deep Blue!!

to be?

mine not to question why...mine but to do or die!!

me blog!

I became fascinated with idea of blogging after acquainting myself with blogs written by other individuals on topics that I found interesting. Some of them were funny, some were revealing, some were introspective, and some were downright abusive.
The process and release I get from writing is essential to my mental well being. I decided exactly one week ago that I was going to try my hand at blogging.love that I can be honest, passionate, moody, anonymous. Whatever I feel I can publish, and sure enough a few people will read what I have said. I use my blog as a sounding board.

SUPPORT MY BLOG!
THANK YOU ALL
 

During the election campaigning in Bihar in October this year Rahul Gandhi, the heir
apparent of the Indian National Congress proudly claimed, "Aapki Congress party
gareebon ki party hai, aapki party hai." ["Your Congress party is the party of the poor,
your party."]
After 63 years of an independence that was hard fought, such a statement made with a
sense of pride seemed pathetic to me.

it mirrors the reality we l ive in.  It talks of the thick skin all of us have developed…our leaders,
administrators, planners, implementers and benefactors. Otherwise, someone in the
crowd should have stood up and hurled a chappal in utter disgust.
India has perfected the art of remaining poor.

Poverty is the lifeline of this country. It , helps the rich and ruling class get richer. The poor are very important for our very existence and the fabric of our democracy.

The World Bank defines the poverty line at an income below Rs.21.60 per day in the
urban areas [a 500 ml. bottle of Pepsi] and at Rs.14.30 per day in the rural areas.
Around 421 million people in the eight states of UP, MP, Rajasthan, West Bengal,
Bihar, Orissa, Chattisgarh and Jharkhand are below the poverty line. We proudly are
the largest democracy with a third of the world's poor.

We let food grain rot in the open but have not built food transportation and storage
systems across the country, to allow regular import of food grain.
We encourage large-scale migration of villagers into cities to create industrial slums
and a labour force for daily menial work.
We spend less than 0.5% of our GDP on agriculture and less than 5% on education.
We allow more than 200,000 farmers in debt due to failed cash crops to commit
suicide but will not create enablers to sustainable rural living.

 The poor are needed — for the middle class, the ruling class,
the earning class and the world-class. They are the means to an end. They are a
'necessary and sufficient condition', as an economist would say, for India to progress.
Otherwise, nobody can justify the condition more than 400 million of us are in after
63 years of self-determination. Mr. Gandhi would have felt ashamed thinking of those
words, leave alone gallantly using them, not once but 16 times while doing the rounds!!

We are truly unique in many ways.
The art of remaining poor is one such way.

India has perfected the art of remaining poor. POVERTY is the lifeline of our  country. It helps the rich and ruling class get richer!!

We have created large public enterprises and then deliberately made them inefficient
to meet specific needs.
We had built a 'license raj' to favour a few rich at the cost of encouraging enterprise
and equitable development across the country.
We have ensured little pockets of industrialisation to ensure concentration of wealth
and power. Thereby corruption, greed and moral decay.
We spend less than 0.5% of our GDP on agriculture and less than 5% on education.
We allow more than 200,000 farmers in debt due to failed cash crops to commit
suicide but will not create enablers to sustainable rural living. In fact in 2010 alone
close to 900 suicides have taken place in Baramati while the government spends
Rs.25 crores after a terrorist called Ajmal Kasab.
We talk of adding close to 40 million every year to the "grand Indian middle class",
but do not talk about the fact that a family's food intake reduced by 100 kgs per year
in one decade in 2007.
We talk of overtaking this economy and that economy and having some of the highest
number of billionaires, but our Human Development Index is one of the worst ever,
we have world's highest number of malnourished people and around 40% of our
children below 5 years of age are underweight.
If you just sit back and take an unemotional, detached look at the economics of
poverty in our country, you will realise that it is not the cause but the outcome.
The poverty indices are not a cause of embarrassment but are actually desired. They
are part of a greater plan. The poor are needed — for the middle class, the ruling class,
the earning class and the world-class. They are the means to an end. They are a
'necessary and sufficient condition', as an economist would say, for India to progress.
Otherwise, nobody can justify the condition more than 400 million of us are in after
63 years of self-determination. Mr. Gandhi would have felt ashamed thinking of those
words, leave alone gallantly using them, not once but 16 times while doing the rounds
