heading at all....?

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers... wider expressways, but narrower viewpoints... we spend more, but have less... we buy more but enjoy it less… We have bigger houses and smaller families... more conveniences, but less time... we have more degrees, but less sense... more knowledge, but less judgment... more experts, but more problems... more medicine, but less wellness…

We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom… We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life... we’ve added years to life, not life to years…

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space... we’ve done larger things, but not better things… We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul... we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less... we plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait... we have higher incomes, but, lower morals…

We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication... we’ve become long on quantity, but short on quality… These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce... of fancier houses, but broken homes…

These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

Where are we heading....?

The Great Indian Sexual Hypocrite

Basing her views on an India Today survey...the Tamil movie actress Khushboo voiced her opinion in public that Indian men should stop expecting virgin brides...(unless they are themselves the epitomes of virginity)...

These comments of Khushboo immediately caused a hurricane of morality and virtuosity in Tamil Nadu. The politicians...the police...the priests..and the people... all self-appointed saints of the society -- joined hands in unison against the "immoral" woman and threw proverbial stones at her to lynch her publicly.

Defamation cases were filed against Khushboo (for having denigrated Tamil women by casting doubts on their virginity). And the local judiciary, which ought to have dismissed the ridiculous charges at the doorstep itself, showed its true colors by admitting the charges and forcing Khushboo to surrender herself in the court and seek a bail against anticipated arrest.

Not a single individual came out in outright support of Khushboo in the whole of Tamil Nadu...and a handful of those who did, even they were hounded and bitten so badly that they slid back into their holes and withdrew their support for Khushboo... "The Hindu", a great institution of freedom and fairness in India...also showed its true colors by remaining an impotent spectator like Dhritrashtra during this public disrobing ceremony of a Draupadi.

It was a perfect re-enactment of the same spineless character that was displayed by Lord Ram when Sita was humiliated in public at Ayodhya... If Ram was man enough, he ought to have thrown away his king's crown.. held Sita's hand in his, and walked out of Ayodhya in full public view.

Had Ram shown courage and character in that defining moment of India's destiny... the women of India would have been emancipated forever.

There is no difference between an Islamic Talibani ordering his women to cover their face behind a veil, or issuing a fatwa against Sania Mirza's skirt's length, or a Hindu Taliban humiliating Khushboo in the 21st century.

Sita was charged for her "crime" of having been physically abused by Ravana...even though against her will.. and even though she was denying the charge vehemently.

She was asked to prove her innocence by way of "Agni-pareeksha"...

"Guilty until proven innocent." This has been the barbarian principle of justice in the Indian society for its women.

In a slave society, we accept injustice gladly, and we are prepared to eat garbage. It does not hurt our self-respect to witness the public disrobing of Khushboo as mute and impotent spectators. A slave society's blood does not boil at injustice.

Hypocrisy towards s*x in the land of K***sutra is the most laughable tragedy of India since ages.

Here's the thumb-rule to understand the reality of the Great Indian Sexual Hypocrite: The more s**ually hungry he is, the more morally correct he pretends to be.

This article doesn't support or backup the celebrity on what he/she said but tells that some history should be be seen and some facts should be counted... and whether the celebrity should be guilty on what he/she said... it should be left to his/her instincts and leave him/her alone!!

and thatz LIFE!!

Scared! Scared of yourself... Scared of your feelings... Scared of your way of looking at life... Scared of your belief on relationships... Scared of unselfish friendship... Scared of Your love for someone... You are scared.

You are scared... You are not sure what you will be doing a little later in life and you can’t even look out for the answer because you don’t even know what exactly you are doing right now! You are scared of the uncertain future, just because you feel your present hasn’t been good the way you wanted it to be... You ask yourself same question again and again and again... You talk to your friends of the same things... You are scared of taking a decision... You want to win, but you don’t want to play! You are scared of the sun’s heat, unaware of the light it brings.

Scared of coming in front of someone, a special someone... Scared of looking straight into her eyes... And you ask yourself “why?”. But the question remains unanswered... You think all weird... You put in every odd combination of time and place and then get scared. You think of her all the time, walking, driving, sleeping, and dreaming... You find her every where, class, library, market, playground, canteen and cinema... But then one day you realize your heart’s broken... Well somebody else asked her out and you were a little late... Well what do you do now? Think, cry, dream and start all over again a new phase... And then again you find yourself thinking of her... But this “her” may not be the same... And you are scared... Will it happen again? Will your heart be broken again? What if the former loves you and the later doesn’t? You lie down... Stare at the sky... Scared again! Scared of all the “what?” in your life.


You are scared, because you suddenly realized that people around you are selfish and may be the friends you thought you were very close to are not actually the best people one can be around with. They are certainly not the greatest you ever met... And then you tend to realize, the people who are now too far from you are some of the most important ones in your life! But you fail to see that they might be feeling the same way too... They might be confused and scared as you are... You are still scared... Scared to make the first move to get them back into your life...

You are scared of where you are... You want to create a space for yourself in the crowd... You want people to know you... You want your presence to be felt among the people. You try... Your opinions get stronger... You get nosey... You look into the matters of others, and find yourself judging more than usual because you feel you have better answers for life. You tend to help people in every matter; people whom you think are your friend... But then one day you realize there were certain boundaries in your life and so in everyone’s life which are constantly adding things to the list of what is acceptable and what isn’t... You learn that you got to act differently in front of different faces... And you are scared again... Scared of putting up a wrong mask at a wrong place... Scared of being what you are not.

You are scared of changing yourself as required... You try to stick to your beloved past with your life and then you feel the harder you try to hold on to the past, the faster it moves further and further away from you... Away! And then you aren’t left with any choice but to move on... Move ahead with what you have – A bunch of experience... You laugh at yourself, you cry, you scream... You feel alone, confused and scared.

You are scared, and so are others... Scared of everything, anything... And that’s life.

Some Thoughts... Happen in everyones life!!

The silent and the lovely streets.. the ones have been your friend for ages now!! Feeling the touch of the lovely rain and listening to friendly cool breeze you walk.. hands in your pockets.. u look down at the concrete.. and then smile at the stars.. searching your inner self you count your steps. You walk thinking.. unaware of the surrounding.. you walk, talking to your self!! You travel in time.. you go back some years.. then come back to present.. you fly to the future and then look back to your present again!!!


You go back to your school.. you smile upon the sight of a friend.. a friend who meant a lot to you then and who means a lot more now!! You relive her smile, her eyes.. Just then when u realize that u r somewhat in love with her, your life changes.. You step into college.. You panickingly look around.. here and there.. but you cant find her beside you. And when u find her sometime later, u see that she has left you alone.. all alone! No Reason.. As if u didn't deserved any! You shout.. you scream.. you try to get things to normal.. you loose your sleep.. You ask for your answer!! No Success.. You take a corner.. You Cry!!!


You need someone.. God heard it!! He sends you an angel.. to comfort you.. to make you happy.. to make you feel loved and cared!! You become best buddies.. the closest ones. You can hear her heart beats.. you can even hear her breathe.. lost in your thought sometime u think.. what if she becomes the girl of your life!! You smile.. as if its impossible!! IMPOSSIBLE?? Well becuase you are confident enough.. confident that you cant fall for anyone else anymore.. you cant stop thinking about the girl who came into your life!! You didn't give this new friend of yours enough space, to reach to the place in your heart where u still had someone who didn't deserve that place!!


But alas.. One day you find.. This new friend of yours finally fell for you.. She is in love with you.. You get confused.. You like her a lot.. after all she your best pal.. she had been there when u needed some one.. You discuss a little with her.. You say YES!! Your budding love starts taking shape.. the lines like "emi ledu netho matladalani anipinchindi.. anduke call chesa" created such a melodious magic that you kept falling deeper for her!! And then.. you didnt know.. when you actually fell for her.. your LIKE got changed to LOVE.. but you dont know when!! You proved yourself wrong.. finally you did fall for someone!!


So you begin seeing your life with her.. and then a realization strikes!! You are not able to see yourself with her later in life.. Nothing is in your favour.. NOTHING!! Not even the omens as she says!! You talk to her.. And she says Cos of the fear of future I am not ruining my present.. i am not letting you go so easily!! oh my god.. Your inner self tells you.. she is doing it again!! She is making you fall for her again.. fall deeper.. You realize how worried she is about you.. You can hear her shivering voice if you couldn't take her call even once!! You can see the pain she suffers when u are hurt.. ohhh.. she loves you so so much.. and now you feel you cant loose her!!


But you feel pathetic inside.. You feel guilty of hurting someone.. You feel as if you are playing with her feelings.. You put yourself in her shoes and then think again.. oh god.. its going to hurt her a lot when I leave her.. how will she live with so much pain.. damn!! what am I doing.. you say it to yourself.. NO.. NO NO NO.. I cannot kill my life.. i cant give her this pain..


A shrilling car horn shreds your ear drum into bits.. You look around.. unable to open ur eyes.. head lights flashing straight on ur face.. u realize.. u r in the middle of the street!! You smile.. say sorry.. curse the driver in ur whispers.. and hurry back home!! Straight to the bedroom.. lights off.. you take a corner.. your cell.. and you try and talk to her.. you try being practical.. you try to make her understand.. well.. but you think she is taking you wrong!! She asks you about your pain.. she says Wont you feel hurt.. You are just unable to make her understand!! You tell yourself.. look she is so hurt now.. what would have happened later!! Finally you tell her we stay friends.. but you should know.. no body can take ur place.. Ill love u 4ever.. sending message.. message sent.. delivered to $@#.. U wait for a reply.. 5 minutes and no reply.. You call her.. she cancels the call.. You call her again.. SHOCKED.. oh my god.. she switched off her cell.. Why?? What?? When and How?? Everything comes to your mind


You lie down.. hug your pillow.. stare up in the dark.. You start thinking WHY DOES IT HAPPENS TO ME.
