its been an eye opener for the entire world. the start of 2009 has witnessed harsh reality and is the time to rethink and re-evalute the direction where we are heading to.
facts::
West (read as the motley of 1st world countries) has failed with its idea of capitalism.
Global recession (an essential product of US) has clearly indicated the fallacies in judgement of west.
though most millionaires of the west have been bailed out by the socialist west, its the poorer and developing nations which are suffering.
let me try making sense now.
though i am not a follower of socialism (i hardly know anything to be a follower), but am sure that the preaching of capitalism theories (sharply criticised by marx as a cycle of boom and bust) by the west has been wrong. What the west has over the years done is that they have strengthened their internal economies to be competitive through capitalism and the weaker ones have been either 'bailed out' or 'outsourced'. now, the preaching of capitalism comes in. in the name of 'competitive cost advantage' and 'open markets' for the developing nations, they have coupled up other nation's economies and sold their products at higher prices (to maintain THEIR citizen's lifestyles) and got cheaper services (again to maintain THEIR citizen's lifestyles). any faults in their system are met with provision of assistance to their citizens (thats what socialism is, rite?). in specific context with india, first, the west wants free flow of money across the world. then they start pouring in money like hell to make the economy of india seem like the biggest in the world (with NYSE trading around 13000, india's is trading around 22,000). then they extract all of it and get lots of profit (to help maintain THEIR lifestyle in troubled times) in doing so and play the blame on recession. US played bull in markets and who has to suffer? the indians, who, stupidly (and with rising salaries thought of using that extra money) put the money into stock market. had the markets not been open, the sensex would still be trading at 10,000 in jan, so that people would'nt have turned into fools(as it is today). so the sufferers have been developing nations as their money is sucked up to the US (do i need to write 'to help maintain THEIR lifestyle' again?? )
but here's the catch. till what time can all this continue ??
how much more can, and the US govt will DO to continue with this policy. i believe these protectionist schemes and 'bail outs' or wateva are just there to defer the bust that marx predicts. its time to wake up and accept the past and change your attitude for tomorrow ...

malice
when i watched malizia (malice in italian), i was shocked, yet felt a kind of reinforcement running in me. not to say that i liked the movie, it explores a very existing, yet underground fact most men would have gone through ( dont know about women, but i guess they should be no less). the movie dwells on the sexual uprising of the teenage boy as the main plot. the subplots, i.e. his bigger brother and his divorced father's fantasies, too makes one realise that despite the age or maturity, lust is lust and the desire to get it can control anyone's feelings.
the movie also beautifully dishes to what length a young boy can go to achieve his desires. malice- to disturb other people to get what you want(but for your sexual fantasies, malice ??). and showing the small, subtle stupidities that i am sure every boy does in those years. i dont forget the scene in which the teenage guy, going in a car, being overpowered by his mind tries touching the lady sitting next to her. a subtle, yet universal thing which every guy never boasted of. this just reminds me that when i was a kid ......

nothing to do
ok .. i dont have much to write about for today .. have actually not done much for the last 2 days, apart from working on my sop(and that's the only good thing i have done in like a LONG while), watchin movies and chatting ..
ok . i watched slumdog millionaire and i guess despite the craze behind it and the imdb rankings, its just another movie .. nothing great .. maharathi was damn better but got no praise n got from theatres in a week or so.. anyways, it shows india like it is NOT. INDIA IS NOT LIKE the one shown in the movie. yes, i have seen the slums and know the happenings about the beggar system shown make real sense. but the apathy in which india is shown is not india .. india, after all is more diverse compared with mumbai and agra alone... there is much more delight in travelling on rail in india. india is shown to be a place for mercy, a dirt-haven and god knows what else. yes, dirtiness is an aspect prevalent here, but the whole movie could have been made more realistically rather than to remind the viewer that "look.. india is dirty". you can find more realistic shots showing the actual india and the beauty of it. . . even the language used (hindi abusive swearings) are common and of not much impact actually .. they've been thrown just for the sake of it (and to show that hindi is a bad language .. ). i guess thats why the 'firang' loved the movie (they got a chance to feel pity for us ..) and rated it so high.
am just comparing slumdog millionaire to city of god, a brilliant movie showing the dirtiness, earthiness and anything bad in the most beautiful manner i've seen. the language is portugese, but i loved watchin the movie with subtitles ..
forgot to tell you about the japanese movie "naked killer". dont watch it ! the subtitles are a real mess.. the whole movie made little sense. and nothing raunchy in the movie as expected from the title. its just-another-thriller

wooo-hooo
ok .. this is a very general topic.... but i'll start with the basics ..
things to do to grab her attention :::
first of all, its a tricky and exact science, this process of courting a girl. no matter how much you may practice, you are bound to make mistakes . its how you can cover and get things for your advantage.
1) praise, praise and lots more praise (be subtle in words, though)
most guys know this .. but commit the error here. telling a girl you are sexy is no praise. its a clear indication that you are trying desperate attempts at gettin it. the secret lies in not in this flirty praising, but being really specific and intelligent while using this.
2)making the girl laugh ..
we are not dealing with raunchy jokes that might be great sitting with friends, nor poor jokes happening in everyday lives. we are looking for something really universal, one liners (cause the shorter, the more easily they understand) or something applicable to the occasion. here, being impromptu is the best thing, if its your piece of art. well, this one is easy, but some thinking to what kind of thing the other person may like would be useful.
3) getting to know her friends
the best way to a woman's heart is through people who know her. behaving great with her good friends helps you in times of distress and we've seen lots of movies to support this thing. no details..
4)suprize, suprize.
every girl likes suprizes. playing on fear (this doesnt mean playing a prank. here you realise the girl that there she is misunderstanding you), adventure and unexpectedness does wonders and fast-tracks relationships. this doesnt imply using this trick often, but suprise is the best way to rejuvenate or kindle up relations.
a piece of caution is that though there may be some rebellion observed on the face, but the more intense the feelings, the more you'll succeed.
5) when there is nothing for the girl to talk about, this is the BEST time.
this is the climax usually. when the girl has done her share of talking and then things turn towards you. this is the time. make her feel comfortable and ask her deep stuff. compared to boys, the girls know their limitations, there strengths n weaknesses and you just have to pay attention to the details. deep-talk really clarifies and gives an opportunity for the girl to think about you. and when things come to you, depending on the girl, you have the choice of being cocky or just carefully using similarities to your advantage.
6) emotion...
once the girl asks any kind of emotional support from you, THIS IS THE TIME. people have found their long-time loves by just lending a shoulder. and this it the best way you can show your love and care for the girl.. so its a tried and tested formula, too. end topic.
7) be a good listener and never start off with your stories (no matter how hard it seems)
what else, have forgotten many things while writing this, but anyways,
things like attitude, carrying yourself, mentality of the girl(some are just too immature to realise your love), confidence, where you look (ya .. that is a major turn off sometimes) are really important when you are seeing.... but everyone knows that ..rite???
its really important to :::
be slow (yes, if you are in love, you can wait),
lookout for hints,
never fight a lost battle
and dont randomly try any girl (which sometimes may end up using you for her benefit)
most importantly, for the lovers and one's who would be in love soon,
i'd say::
"agar kissi afsane ko anjaam dena ho naamumkin, to usse khoobsurat mod par chodd jaana"
dont lose heart, cause the author has lost many battles but is still full in confidence ... lol ..

prounounce as: felosoFEE
hmmm.. lets talk about some thing basic and generalise it.
boys and girls ........
well, since aeons its known man is a social animal. i think man is truly an animal; and his opposite sex is the caretaker.
not to take in the extreme sense, but man has been an hunter. its psyche wants victory, new conquests, adventure. his body, streamlined for this only supports the cause. notice a guy's hands. rugged, made to hold onto anything he wants and with a strong grasp. its a fact that athletic guys are sharp, born to desire and do everything to get it. the softies and a little more chubby ones have more female characteristics.my point here is that the kind of physique tells what kind of mentality the person is.
anyways, back to the topic. man DESIRES and as soon as he gets them, he DESIRES more .. and there is nothing wrong in this.(like the adjectives vicious circle, samsara etc.) the man is born to be fickle and run like an animal. from one place in search for satisfaction. though he too doesnt know wat will help him to satisfy him fully. i bet even the most underestimated people (like the sweet n reserved fellows) may be found to be highly competitive and wanting in certain situations. after one thing, another is needed .. and another .. and so on .. and this is why the girl is made by god.
girls, we know are emotional n stuff. but the reason for that is to act as a perfect foil to the ruthless aggressor called men. they are the creation to tame them, to make them harmless, less desiring .. no matter whatever people say or do, the female will always be the 'opposite sex'. but never the ruthless one or trying to emote boys. people say girls cannot dominate. i deny this fact. girls do dominate. they dominate the males to be harmless. the tricks of the trade are known to everyone. the woman's wants are entirely opposite to the man.(well, mostly). what else, the society builds up on these facts. food for thought for the females would be that dont be fickle and dicey, cause men are more fickle than you(and you wont realise the fact) and for the guys would be that ignorance is bliss, certain things do not need be experienced or conquered and its better to kill 1 desire than making effort for the 100 new ones that come with it.
i guess we all know all this. then wat did i get by typing this ? killed my time i guess ... anyways..

a wasteful day
sleep is bliss... was sleeping the whole day when around 3 15 paarth turned up (for his photographs...) anyways, when sense started dawning i just realized mom had gone to ambala and lunch would not be available.
watched " to kill a mockingbird" while paarth went to meet pratik. i liked the movie, the role of the protagonist and the esp. the dialogue " i am not an idealist. but i ....". the movie is a great watch... it starts the debate of following the right and wrong in mind... even once makes me think 'lets be a lawyer!'.
then, i go on making paneer patty for myself (its about 6 PM and i haven't had anything since). its 7 and paarth turns up .. he gets the pics and leaves.
i just found out that the result of last sem had been declared a week ago, but i was unaware of it. still i havent found out what my CGPA is, but anyways, i feel desperate to talk with you-know-who. BSNL is great ! it doesnt work at the time it should and i end up making no calls.. anyways, then starts the next movie - "strange vice of Mrs wardh", an italian movie, having great italian backdrops and a sex-thriller plot. having all the masala like sex, blood and deaths, it was a nice watch, too. the girl is just BEAUTIFUL (and other adjectives included) in the movie. dont understand why the name of girl is carefully kept as JULIE in movies whenever the girl is expected to have a prominent role in the movie and esp. if there is lust and erotica involved (remember swimming pool, and the indian movies of julie??)
anyways, post-dinner, another movie beckons. "the black belly of tarantula", another italian flick, with all the more lovely girls. no julie here, but unnamed girls ( and am sure had names of some been given, julie may have cropped up).
the 'hero' of the movie is not the kind of indian heros- having exceptional brains or muscles or looks (though he resembles fardeen khan), but an average guy .. i liked the way things turn out to make a okay murder mystery story with all the blood, sexy girls and death scenes stiched together.
so in all, nothing great done 2day ...... ...... (though am downloading more italian flicks now.. of different genre though.. this sex, murder thingy is getting boring now.)

the last day of 2008
it starts at 9 30 when people start calling me up. are you awake ? yes. just got up.. anyways, i woke up finally at 3:40 PM and had lunch (call that breakfast) and stuff around 4 30'ish. people asking whats the big plans for the day are. nothing really, its 5 50 and i tell em to come to my place around 6 30 so that we can discuss what to do later. anyways, i get ready ONTIME and its 7 till no one comes. anyways, things get messed up as there is NO PLAN and we end up wasting time n then going out around 8 15 to PEC. the guards, doing their duty come up and ask wats upstairs at cafe. "any girl up dere?." unfortunately, its disha whose upstairs.. anyways, after sometime, we leave the cafe top floor and depart with dish and anjul. we go check out chicks at foodstreet and then finally decide on having pizza at dominoes. party is on atul. come back, celebrate happy birthday of my grandfather and have the lovely cake. regular chit-chat with mom and pop and some stupid recording of my mom singing out loud "teri maa nu ... makki ki rotiyan .. " at my pop. i sometimes wonder why my parents joke so much.. but it keeps me feeling happy from inside sometimes .. though i dont like the crudeness sometimes.... but anyways .. day ends like this only..
