No quitting!!!

A poem...

While things are being marinated how about enjoying this poem written the other day…..

To welcome the night

A voice in the stillness of dusk
just when the last of parakeet is silent,
crows squirm, settles in the nest.
Sun taken all the colour
into a deep deep sleep.
Then a tentative rustle of a leaf
so faint...
like a beat, almost missed
awakens the tree
into a joyous sway.

The night is here.

Stamp the scoundrels out….pledge on woman's day

There are many ways these scoundrels use women, to sell their products. Understanding that Business is important, gives living and employment to millions of needy is different from some of these elites in this field who use….manipulate will be the right word, the system and create misery. One case in hand is that of morphed figure of Actress Khushboo in some trash magazine. The lady’s face is pasted on a semi clad woman. This according to the editor (aka Marketer, it is interchangeable these days…it’s about grabbing the opportunity!!. And God forbid if you don't grab grab grab the opportunity then lick lick lick!!!!. And please don’t mistake this for enthusiasm….thanks Ravi for the input…hope sirji you are blogged in!!!) is a “funny thing” as it is a common happening abroad. The scoundrel later apologized profusely when the actress concerned thrashed him with defamation suit. I sincerely hope the court gives this fellow (and the likes of his ilk) severe and exemplary punishment. They degrade famous people (you can imagine what common people have to go through if this can happen to well known people) and then create controversy to sell more copies. Infact this issue has helped this trash magazine to publicize itself. Free of cost (an ultimate achievment!!). The ploy seems to have worked (cheers to that) offcourse at the expense of others. When profit is the defining factor who is bothered of somebody’s dignity being vulgarized or humiliated (and this we are informed is funny…such scoundrels). This was clever manipulation of earlier issue (that ultimate sacred issue of pre marital sex….the most significant issue facing humanity after offcourse Iran crisis, and Hiroshima bombing!! Strictly in that order) wherein this actress’s statement was taken out of context….and some equally clever people try to take political mileage out of it. Maybe the magazine tried to capitalize on the “sex talks”….you never know how a marketers mind works and where he/she can sniff profit. As a line in one of the Godard movie (I guess it was in Praise of Love) says …..“they make whore of our life and then sell it to make a living”. Very precise, as Godard always is. Given chance these scoundrels will denigrade any women to sell whatever they want. How about doing this to their own maa-behans, and lets see how funny it is assuming that maa-behans of these scum of humans are waiting to be used for what is assumed as funny.

Sometime back I had the misfortune to see a play titled Vaginal monologue. Actually I had gone to see this play with lots of expectations as it was being acclaimed as something worth…very disappointed indeed. A very dumb attempt no doubt. The stupid play was about some nymphomaniac get-together….funny at times. How it got the feminist twist is beyond me (probably that makes me conservative…well thank you). Tomorrow it will be about some farter club get together!!!. And that would be celebrated by elites as truly human experience!!. Such cheapskates. Time to get their priorities right, not that i am bothered. The reason why I am writing about this play is to point an interesting fact. The play had the characters celebrating womanhood (first cousins of Egyptian brotherhood atleast in their intent, albeit flawed!!!) by referring to vagina in different languages but what they didn’t dare is the most commonly used hindi term (chooth to be precise!!). Reason???. Well if they start using street language particularly of poorer societies how will they be elite?. So "Fuck you" is more sophosticated than theri gand maroo (not that i am here to celebrate these cheap talk. I never use such words unless offcourse to teach the sophosticated elites on street manner!!!. And puncture their carefully constructed world. Believe me it's hundred percent fun!!!!!! ). Got what I am saying. Its about anglicized chooths and their angst!!!. Pardon for the language but this how you deal with scoundrels. Out of touch with reality offcourse we are playing to the foreign audience….aint I right!!!!.

Famous People Met Famous People
Speaking of coincidences, or maybe not, there’s something I’ve noticed about famous people: They often knew other famous people before they became famous themselves.
Now some of this is surely a coincidence. And some of it is a case of the famous people helping out as mentors. But I think something else is going on too. My hypothesis is that when some idiot that you personally know hits it big, you say to yourself “How hard could that be?” It makes success seem more accessible, thus making it more likely you will try to achieve it.
If you’ve never met anyone famous, you probably think they have some superpowers that explain why they made it and you didn’t. But if you spend any time with a famous person, your illusions about their superiority fade fast. You start thinking why not me?
I might have some of these examples wrong, but from memory here are a few: Danny DeVito was roommates with Gene Hackman before they were famous. Al Gore roomed with Tommy Lee Jones in college. Robin Williams roomed with Christopher Reeves before they made it. You’ve probably seen the photos of young Bill Clinton shaking hands with John F. Kennedy during some field trip when Clinton was a boy. Billy Crystal’s baby sitter was Billie Holiday. Can you think of any others? Add them in the comments if you can.
In the cases where people knew each other before success, my hypothesis is that when the first one made it, the other gained a psychological advantage and was more likely to make it after the friend did.
Two people who had cubicles near mine at Pacific Bell became published authors after my first book came out. I think they were influenced by my success, at least indirectly. One wrote a book about his father being beheaded by the Japanese during WWII. The other worked in marketing and naturally became a murderer, then wrote about his prison experience when he got out. The moral of the story is that if you want to be inspired by me, someone probably has to die.
Since I know you’ll ask, these are those books. They're both quite interesting:

Shobun – By Mike Goodwin (The Japanese army beheading-people-for-entertainment book)
You Got Nothing Coming – By Jimmy Lerner (from marketing to murder)
Shobun is factually accurate and quite fascinating. It would make a good movie.
You Got Nothing Coming was written by a marketing guy who killed his friend. That's all you need to know about its credibility.
