The Bloggeratti

I guess I wanted you more,,,,in the end it seemed there was no room for me still I tried to change your mind.. and looking back am sure,.I guess I wanted you more...ohhhh I dont need you anymore....I dont need you anyyyymore!
  When this is the only thing playing on your mind and you begin to write a blog post,just because you haven't blogged in months and because you have nothing else to do and because it might bring some amount of perspective to your otherwise messed up life(or so you think!),this is what you end up typing;and then it would be a waste if you delete it and then again,it is good to start off on a poetic note,so you decide you might as well keep it!
    Virat is losing matches,there's no semblance of order in the author's life.The mind wanders and you wonder how many people will actually feel for you if you suddenly go missing;just disappear off the face of the earth in a majestic "pooof"!Everybody is selfish."Everybody" doesnt care!You have to watch out for yourself.All the time.Makes one doubt the entire idea of a soulmate..yin-yang..the L word!Makes one wish that somebody would reaffirm your belief in it!*wink wink*
    Before these ravings blow your mind away(unlikely,but may happen) or you just give up on reading(more likelier) ,let us come back to the topic.Or actually begin with it since we never really did!
  Only 2% of the entire Indian population actively blogs.By "blogs" here,which is used as a verb,is implied everything including reading blogs to writing them,and even borrowing from them for projects(No.Exaggeration.Sorry.).So I might as well be a regular here,help India in the whole blogging scene....be part of the elite bloggerati of India.Watch this space for more rants?Pwettty Pweez?(:
  While I am at it,I would also post some pieces from the news which are impressive enough to stay in my mind for hours,and some trinkets of wisdom I think up randomly,under the hashtag "SagaSpeaks".Okaay,might sound ridiculous,but appreciation would be welcome,criticism,though unwelcome(Come on nobody likes it!);would be acknowledged!
HAVE A HAPPY TODAY,TOMMOROW AND EVER AFTER!Stay blessed!
P.s:The above rant was actually typed out in a sleep deprived state with music blaring in the background,so no responsibilities taken!

Of Love,Sex,Commitment,Morality and all that Voodoo...

Boy meets girl.
  Boy falls for girl.(yea poor creatures,are always expected to do all the falling)
  Boy performs some cliche antiques to catch her eye.
  Girl winks,the boy is on seventh heaven!
  They date.
  Girl wants commitment,Boy wants sex.
  Girl gets her way,boy talks to her parents.
  After some pre-marital drama,the happy couple say the vows.
  They grow old,pot-bellied and angry,together!
   That has pretty much been the typical Indian story of a 'lou' marriage,albeit with a few juicy tadka's changing with the landscape and characters!But boyy!The times are sure changing nowadays.One can hear it in the frequent complaints of Indian teens that there was no proper "dating scene" in the country!True that,where will the poor kids go mating if there are no proms or bars to hang around?Even in the big cities,the scene is taking too long to change.There is a genuine shortage of understanding,mature individuals!If you sleep with a girl it's a shameful sin;if you get caught,even worse,as you find yourself stuck with her for a lifetime..!(or seven!)If you are a girl,its doomsday for you if it gets out!If you sleep with a guy,boy you might as well be a criminal here!This,is the reason why your "aaj-kal ke bacche" feel so enticed by the West!This very lack of freedom,to live life as we want it,drives us away,to settle down in faraway States and Kingdoms!
  Times are changing though!Not advocating the western culture or anything,but here's an observation:I
read "Safe Haven" by nicholas sparks and "The Namesake" by jhoompa lahiri earlier this week.Sparks never dissapoints,and the love overwhelmed me as all of his other books did:") (I am allowed smileys) The Namesake was a good read.In the end,what struck me most was the differences.Katie,the female protagonist in Sparks work,abstains,because she is still legally married to her abusive,psychotic husband;and God forbids fornication! On the other hand,Mo,an ABCD(american born confused desi-thats what the author said),cheats on her well-mannered husband,with a man almost her father's age,just for the attraction and sheer pleasure of it!
  Mo(ushumi) smokes,does drugs and drinks like a fish.Katie loves kids,is the perfect image of the ideal "mother" and isnt an alcoholic!Agreed that these are Indians born in the states and one could say that they dont know Indian culture;but does that make katie "Indian" because she fits this good lady image?Take a look closer home,aren't things almost the same?Aren't "desi" teens doing the same "cool" things?
  Ofcourse I know I am getting so worked up in mere characters in works of fiction,but nowadays you can hear chachas and chachis blaming the "western,modern way of living" for anything ranging from their kids running away with their driver's sons to rapes and other huge crimes!Thinking of it,are the disgusting,drug addict,charas-intoxicated,daaru-guzzling goons even aware of the english language,to be INFLUENCED by it?!
  So heading into 2014,isnt a change of mentality the need of the day?Instead of blaming others we might as well try to be good to ourselves and our people!
P.s-Ranted because one of my relatives didnt let me watch the latest episode of HIMYM after listening to barney talk for a minute.-.-
