Indian Holi

I know the whole town is playing with colors today, but thank god I stay in (as I have been doing since long) ... I don't do Holi. I am not a Holi person, nothing to do with religion... Definitely not enthused with getting wet with water and different powder colors all over you (and it takes weeks to clean off, depend on the colors use)... and my first years of Holi experience was not the best experienced, some rough guys throwing plain water (sometimes mix with water) from their car or balcony from weeks before the actual day arrive (and seems like they targeted girls), going out to get a milk, or bread was always a big scary adventure from weeks before. I think it can also depend on the area of where all this rough guys are in a plenty. Another possibility is also that, as years passed by, I guess this throwing water or colors weeks before the actual day is slowly less and less.

M's opinion on local bikers club

Yesterday a friend who have a beautiful modified Enfield, told me that he recently joined a Harley Davidson club in the city (though his bike was not Harley), he went to their get-together dinner in one of the nice restaurant in my neighbouring mall, and what he said was, none of the locals with their Harley have much knowledge on bikes, forget about some modification or do something with their tons of money worth bikes, he feels the whole Harley Bikers club in town was so fake, no knowledge about bikes in general, not even their own Harley, seems like a bunch of local men who have enough money to buy Harley in this developing country and never actually ride it, except once in a month or once in two months for this Harley Bikers gatherings somewhere in some posh restaurant... In the same league, I'll put those locals who called themselves a staunch rock music lovers, or as a friend J from my city called them 'wannabe rockers', and in her own sentences --"The type that try to make up for their lack of badass-ness with musical instruments or admirable vocal chords with black clothing and dirty hair. And they came out in droves at the concert, men and women alike, who probably know a song or two of Metallica's (most likely 'Nothing else matters') and proclaim themselves die-hard Metallica fans"...Or for that matter, calling themselves a huge rock music fans.

RIP Nelson Mandela

What a great loss! Mr Mandela is no more, after a long unstable issue of respiratory issue. He is 95 yrs old. He passed away on Dec 5, 2013.

He was imprisoned for 27 yrs due to his stand against the government on the apartheid. He later on became the first black South Africa's President.

Putting some of his quotes I like

When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlawed

I detest racialism because I regard it as a barbaric, whether it from a white man or from a black man

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear
 

RIP Paul Walker of Fast and Furious

One of the first feed of my Facebook I saw that day on Dec 1, 2013 was the car crash with explosion of Paul Walker and that he is confirm dead. And later on online news said that the car was drove by his friend who also died instantly from the explosion, both come back from Paul's charity event. He is just 40 yrs old.

 

I am one of strong fan of Fast and Furious, I like the story plot, the fast cars, beautiful girls, some action (not too violent), bits of romance, and some sort of excitement story plot of the outlawed expert car racers. I am a fan so I like all the sequels. And Paul Walker known as Brian O'Connor is in all except one, in the sequels.

 

Its a sad news and its hard to believe.

 

There is one of his quote, as if he knew he is going to die in a crash.

 

 

with Vin Diesel

 

I just saw a YouTube link that pay a tribute to him with clips of Fast and Furious with a matching soundtrack. Paul, fan like me misses you and will miss you, forever! Rest in Peace.

Polish Film Fest movie review

Nov 21 and 23, 2013

(I am a big fan on non-Hollywood movies, that is not mainstream commercial so that adds up my positive feedback). 

 

Escape from the Liberty of Cinema is a pure satirical and amazing creativity from the director, I am amazed that the movie was made way before video conference was possible. I like the Woody Allen style or shall we call it a very 'different' screenplay. I get the humour of the movie so I enjoyed thoroughly, also its very comedic yet quite dark in nature.

 

The Promised Land, at first I was impressed by the main actor Borowiecki (stage name), Mrs. Zucker was a pure drama queen that make me detest her yet entertain me in one go. I like the story plot of industrial period of the 19th century and I think it can be educational for some study. I think the movie brought out the negative side of humanity in real sense yet coveted by the pure drama of lives. I like the fact that there is a cross-mixing usage of language ( German and Polish depending on whose identity in the story plot). The last few mins plots of some sort of revolution keep the mind roaming even after the movies end.

Intimacy bonding unconditionally

Some people wants to share love and care by adopting from far continent, and some just don't want any bond or intimacy of relationship even if its right in their platter.

 

Some personality are not meant for relationship.

 

"..Did I get too close? Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside? All your insecurities; ... There is no fear now, Let go and just be free; ... So open up your heart and just let it begin; ...Acceptance is the key to be, To be truly free, Will you do the same for me?..." - Unconditionally by Katy Perry

My thoughts / ramblings

Via my Facebook status --

 

If you cannot or do not know how to pronounce my name, the least you can do is be polite. You do not have to keep asking me 3 or 4 times and imitate what I said WRONGLY, it just make you look stupid and ignorant. Yes, I find it very offensive specially when you give me a smirk look along with your condescending air you created just cos my name sound so different from you and the rest of you... ( by the way, I look different from you and rest of you too, if that make any sense at all ?)

This country is just hilarious, I am right now standing near one of the entrance of our company, at a hindsight, there are 17 number security with uniforms standing near and about the gate. These people loves security and uniform. No wonder at metro station, in every other places there are security person. Not only that, any house/apartment who think of themselves respectable enough have security guards on their 'so called' gate, kiss my a** to this security guards loving country and its people. Huh, I can't hide my sarcasm tonight.

Let me elaborate a bit - security are at all metro stations, at all malls entrances and mall parking entry, at half of the community park entry, at company entry gate, at shops ( not just in big shops, but all shops as long as they can maintain one guard who stand at the entry), at residential community gate, et al et al. Security loving a****

 

And here is some excepts of a sarcastic euphemism on the society of this country from a blog, owned by a friend Tennille Duffy --

India yeah India > http://doelephantslikejalebi.tumblr.com/page/3
Me [to gym receptionist, handing over rupees]: Hey, I can pay my fees today. That should be five thousand.
American man next to me: That's a lot of money! haha. For only two thousand, I'll chase you around the block with a knife! HAHA.
Me: I could probably get that for free if I wanted.
American man: Yea! Right - like, wear a skirt! Right?! HAHA
Me: [Withering look. Walks away].

"Sex, sexiness, and sex-y times are topics that are usually not spoken of in India, and generally bound to raise a lot of people’s sensitivities. We all know the usual (what the outside world would call) conservatism - no sex before marriage (for girls), no living together before marriage, no sex in films, no PDAs by couples, women should dress conservatively and cover themselves, etc etc. This is... kind of crazy when you think that, obviously, someone is doing it because India is going to become the most populous nation on earth soon. It’s also pretty fucked-up when you consider issues of gender, rape, and the general mistreatment of and conservative attitudes towards women and women’s role/place here" ---- Via http://doelephantslikejalebi.tumblr.com/
