Morning, yes am awake finally. So now I am back, here are the updatdes:
1. Started a movie blog with khurana and lucy and called it Pen The 70mm. Dream come true.
2. Screwed CAT again, fortunately cleared XLRI and IRMA. Going to XLRI, thanks to Sachin Tendulkar and Richa 
3. Thanks to point 2, Job has become cooler than ever before.
4.Now I feel stronger, at least 5 kgs stronger.
5.And I am still lacking muse. Help Help Help.
Hibernation is disabled and this space will blossom again, Amen!
Just writing about some things that I think changed me, or at least a part of me
A Writer and two books: Fountainhead/Atlas Shrugged, yes it did make a difference, and it does make a difference in the great domain of lower minds, the indispensable engine of this world. After reading them, a lot of us start idolizing Howard Roark , in this great competitive circus, where everyone is so proudly replicating Peter Keating lives, these old fictions come up as a reality check, as an honest mirror display! There is one more impact Ayn Rand has on your thought process and that is the ignition of the ’so-what’ mindset. And believe me, the ’so-what’ mindset is far calmer that the ‘what-if’ mindset.
A Bank: Another book that impacted me immensely is the freshly completed ‘Banker to the poor’, which talks about Grameen bank, its genesis, functioning, people, and a lot of things about it. For someone who has believes that the world economy is depressingly polar, this story came as a hammer, and a followed up relief. Very motivating and logical. The biggest question that has been asked to the world still remains “How do we eliminate poverty from the face of the world”, in our lifetimes; a few answers like Grameen bank will help. Amen!
A Movie: I love movies, from ek ruka hua faisla to Amelie, from the incredibles to Raincoat, from Memento and the butterfly effect to Ghost World, I love them all. They entertain me to the core. And in this midst of all these great movies and the great directors, arrived ‘Into the Wild’, the only movie that I have gone back again and again and again. I just can’t get enough of it. And even if the movie’s magnetic field diminishes, the music and lyrics of this movie takes over. I once told about this movie to my simple very motherly mother, she quietly asked me ‘Everything’s ok son?’, she surely loves me a lot . Time to quote from a song from the movie
When you want more than you have, you think you need…
and when you think more then you want, your thoughts begin to bleed.
I think I need to find a bigger place…
cause when you have more than you think, you need more space.
A Person: Ravi Gulati. Met him only twice, and I am a fan of his, admiration comes up naturally for this IIM A graduate who runs a subtle NGO called Manzil based in Delhi where he teaches under privileged kids necessary skills. One of most humble persons you will ever meet, and he will surely make you rethink and ask ‘What am I doing?’, anyways I think I am still young, and I cant run away saying that for a long time. Though I admire him a lot, but I wouldn’t say that he changed me, in that category only one person can fall, and that’s ‘She’, call it obvious, call it bourgeoisie, call it rule-of-world, but I am a different person when I am with her, a different person for her. We are two different ends of this world, but it clicks and it clicks pretty well for our comfort. I am always asking questions, feeling sad, wanting to do this to do that, and she has a pretty simple solution to my mental turbulences – ‘Why do you think so much’ and thus she conveniently shuts me off. But I guess it’s time for me to tell her on a public platform, thanks for being there!
There are more things that changed me, events, more people, my stay at my college DA-IICT, my stay at Mumbai and Bangalore, troubled times at home, my dad’s drinking habit and his management skills, and perhaps a few more. And my own belief that a person changes completely in a span of 4-5 years, lets see, if that continues to happen.
This is not a tag post, but i would like if some of my blogmates pen a similar post, it would be interesting, so requesting the following to pen the same:
Luthra, Shakti, Ankit, Richa, Naresh, Navin, Kamiya, Steve, Biraja, eesha, Desh, Vineet, Prateek
Thank you Desi, thanks a lot!!!!
The best TAG ever, better than royal sTAG and or Guru TAGore or Mars atTAG or two shots of TAGila or Dagny TAGgart or any other TAGnical possibility. This is absolutely meaningless, no questions, no tastes, no favourite magazines and good-things-about-your-neighbours-puppy, it’s a say-whatever-you-want-to-say or a no-one-gives-a-damn-to-logic-and-sanity kinds.
I have been wandering since my early blogging days that how long can I keep my natural instinct of speaking out bullshit and meaningless phrases away from this medium of expression and I think that this is the right platform for me to start HARDCORE BULLSHITTING here as well, and this is the genesis of the category BAKAR, the hardcore reality, the reason for mediocre existence and the ultimate route to the divine and the shortcut to the six thousand years of tapasya, standing one legged on a himalaya peak for moksha
