Raksha Bandhan

Indians have a lot of things to do with threads. Perhaps the thread entirely originated from India. Its application is immense. Go to any temple. They sell threads of your favourite colour, the most common being red. Don't know why, but people feel happy in showing of their threads. Then there's another application of thread which brahmins wear around their bodies. Legend says its sacred. But that's a legend. It mostly acts like a batch to show off you are a higher caste.

So what is so different about Raksha Bandhan??? There are many. First, it's not only thread it is something fixed above the thread which makes up the "rakhee". Next you don't tie it up yourself, you have got your sisters to finally do some work and tie it up on your hands. Later you find out that you are protected for your entire life cause they tied this up. Too much eh??? But that's not all. Cause they warded off the evils causing any threat on you, you have to give them gifts(read money, yes, it's all about money). Heard of extortion? The thread protects you, and you pay them. And you wonder where the mafia concept came from...

Looking in the pages of history, I found this queer incident related to raksha bandhan. Alexander was saved from Indian king Puru because of a Rakhee which Alexander's wife had sent to Puru. There are numerous other events like that of Krishna and Draupadi but I guess we all know that. So what lessons do you learn from the history class on rakhee??? If you have a girlfriend or better yet a wife, you tell her to tie the rakhee on the hands of the person who hates you most. You can have a sound sleep after that. Come on, make use of the traditions for your benefit. That's why they are there.

P.S. :- Wondering why one day late post??? Hands were full of rakhees yesterday. Obviously can't type with your hands tied.

The Movie-aholic

The last one year I have seen myself turned into a moive-aholic. What??? There's no such word like that. Come on! There oughta be something like that. I hate to call myself a movie addict. Anyways I was watching movies like all the time. So much that I didn't even get time to log on and update my blog. Now as I see it lies in ruins. Its glory lies in the dusts now waiting to be consumed by the army of the fresh bloggers joining everyday. But that is now not going to happen. Because the time has come for me to return, rise from the ashes, as they say in those mythological action flicks. It's going to be the return of the Jedi and the empire strikes back if you see from the dark side. Hehehehehehe....So much of the movies jargon in the post I guess. Ok. Hope you guys help me out.

P.S. : Thanks to all those people who still visited thw website in the dark days and kept earning me some loose change.

Back to work

About 3 weeks have passed. You made big plans to spend your holidays. "Not a minute to waste" was the motto before you started. A lot of books to read. So you carry them back home. The days have passed, very quickly it seems. The books remain as they were not being turned by a page, having found a layer of dust as its only companion. Time was well spent but, every minute of it "wasted" in relation to the original plans. A time well wasted we must say. But the nearer comes the end the more you realize "the entire time you have being wasting time". That's a common behavior you find among all the adolescents.

But we always forget the law of the time, which goes on something like, "The amount of work done is irrespective of the time left". This is found to be true in most cases (All ideal cases, but since we live in a practical world, this theory doesn't apply entirely to any job. It ceases to exist as the time left decreases thus forcing a person to work thus proving the theory. I guess this is one of those paradoxes which the scientists say you can never solve).

Switching back to the topic this "Holiday Wasted" feeling is quite common. The moment you start getting that feeling consider it your rebirth. In today's world most of the induhviduals have this feeling. But the dudes aren't infected by these induhvidulas and are proud to boast how they wasted their time. probably that is why they are called dudes. But a induhvidual sometimes tries to acta a dude and he/she too starts boasting. But inside they are full of disgust. There is no easy way of identifying name. So be careful and watch out from these people if you are a dude.

But then everyone considers him/her to be a dude today.

Beginning of the odyssey

As Mr. President begins his work in office today I couldn't resist to make comeback. Its been days and it was high time I wrote something. Never in history I guess such an event was given so much hype by the news channels, especially the hindi ones (not talking of INDIA TV). So, I guess it is a new theorem, the more the coverage the more the pressure to perform. Not that the pressure to perform is any less on this guy. But as he said, the power to deliver is with him. Change is here, and all he needs is he support. Hope he goes all the way. Obama has been always compared to Lincoln and even took the oath to office on the same bible which Lincoln had used. So all the best guy. Hope you have a good time out there.

P.S.:- It's good to be back.
