Caution: Controversial post ahead. Nor recommended for people with weak hearts. Really.
The other day while having breakfast, Mum had switched on to one of those zillion ‘spiritual’ channels on TV, where some very “wise” person was ‘imparting wisdom’. I couldn’t help overhearing what she was saying. The gist of what she was preaching was something like, Christians do this, Muslims do that, but us Hindus- we are supreme, we try and bring the world together…in short, we are God’s gift to mankind. I smirked, and told my mom to stop watching that crap. Of course she disagreed with me. What are mothers for, after all?!
Anyway, I thought about that TV programme on my way to work. I thought to myself, ‘how can they allow such a thing to be aired on national TV?’ The woman was clearly instigating religious differences. She was droning about Hindus as if we were the best thing to have happened to the world, and the others were all trash! It’s not like I’m against any God, I know we’re free to practice any religion of our choice. But what irks me is why they try to compete with each other in the name of religion. Are they so insecure about their foundation, that they have to judge their ‘success’ by the number of followers they have? We all know we’re not saints. What good is a man who prays every morning, and beats his wife every night? He just lives in the illusionary world he’s created for himself, about being good and benevolent. Every time he commits a sin, he validates it by telling himself, it’s in the name of God. I’m a good man. This is not a sin at all!
You want to know what we ‘Hindus’ actually do? Well, we’re a bunch of hypocrites who stab each other in the back, the first chance we get. We rape our women, burn them, even, and treat them like dirt most of the time. We fight with our family members over frivolous, materialistic things, and we do not hesitate to murder each other if we get the opportunity. We use expletives after every second word when we talk and think it to be the most natural thing in the world. We cheat. We steal. We hate. We conspire. We kill.
Ring a bell? The funny thing about this is, you’ll find these kinds of people everywhere. In every religion. I guess there isn’t so much difference between us after all. So why do we want to create disparities, when none exist?
Disclaimer: It’s not like I’m against any religion. I’m not. And I’m not even an atheist. It’s just sad to see how we have made it a discipline that is imposed on people instead of a way of reaching God. We’ve segregated ourselves into so many communities, it’s almost like there are breeding records for animals.

Don't ask...!
There was a time, when I was at the peak of happiness. Everything was going great for me- personally and professionally. That’s when I used to think, life’s good. Then, like the sensex, after reaching the peak, my life’s graph crashed and bombed.
First, my more-than-a-year-long relationship ended.
Second, my reviews in office didn’t go quite as expected.
Third, I come to know, that my long lost friend has expired.
And now, fourth, I’ve quit my job.
I’m heartbroken, depressed, single and unemployed. Trust me, the graph can’t get lower than this.
Sigh…just hope the good phase comes back again. And soon.

What is wrong with the world?
First America. Then London. And now Egypt. They're everywhere! These terrorists have no face, no identity and no aim whatsoever. They are just plain jealous of these nations. One country alone isnt their enemy, its the entire world that they are mad at. For what reason, I fail to understand. What are they achieving by killing civilians, by claiming innocent lives? Rather than infusing terror, which is probably what they like to do, theyre generating an intense hatred towards themselves.
Osama and his like are the scum, theyre the ones that dirty our world and wouldnt let it grow. Theyre backward, because they still believe that our neighbouring nations are our rivals. They're greedy, because they want to rule the world. And they're insane, to think that they can achieve all that. They are also selfish, because they are sacrificing their own people for materialistic purposes. They're training youth in the name of jehad, in the name of God, to kill anyone who's goes against them and their orthodox views. This is what angers me the most. That even if Osama and his partners-in-crime perish, their students and followers will keep the 'tradition' of terror alive. What is jehad? Holy war? So were the Crusades, but no one ever said Crusades were good.
This clan has also managed to create hatred among people. Violence breeds violence. After the attacks in London, the focus of the London authorities has shifted to all the Hindus and Muslims living there. They are the ones being attacked because they "almost look the same"! This is insane!
If these miscreants say that they do all this to 'make the world a better place' then forgive me for laughing out loud! Since when did paradise mean bombing countries, blowing up subway trains and murdering people??
What is this world coming to?

Annoying Post
This is going to be bad...coz I'm in a bad mood. So I recommend not reading this coz it'll bug you too. Oh well, read it at your own risk...
This is a list of things that annoy me most. You still have time. Stop right here and go do something productive. No?? Ok, fine, don't say I didnt warn you...
Things abt myself that annoy me:
1) When I fall asleep with my mouth open...cant help it if my nose is blocked. (Oh I never would have known this if my friends and family members werent kind enough to click me while I was fast asleep)
2) When my hair grows frizzy...I hate when that happens
3) When I correct people if they misspell or mispronounce a word...gosh I'm so sorry I don't know why I do that.
4) When I have an exam the next day and can't concentrate on work and can't stop daydreaming about post exam plans.
5) When my wrist bone becomes prominent...I don't know why but it just looks icky and I cant stand it.
Ok cant think of anymore rt now...u still with me? God you're stubborn arn't you?
Annoying people:
1) When someone mistakenly dials my number and then messages in the middle of the night saying they wanna "do friendship with you" coz they "like your voice"...oh how lame is that!
2) And then give you missed calls for the rest of your life
3) When people you meet for the first time babble incessantly as if they've known you forever.
4) Wannabes trying to be oh-so-cool dudes!
5) Bad breath
6) Guys who don't trim their nails
7) People who blow their car horns deliberately to irritate you
8) Musical (if u call it that) brakes on motorbikes
9) Mom trying to wake me up at 4:30 AM by putting off the A/C and parting the curtains.
10) If that doesnt work she calls on my cellphone so that I have to get up to put the damn thing off.
11) When people take me by surprise. I like surprises...but only the ones I know of. I guess that doesnt make any sense...
Had enough yet?? Wait there's more...
Some things I'm obsessed with:
1) The curtains need to be parted from the middle, not pushed to one side...it just doesnt look right.
2) While setting my blanket, the side with the label has to face towards my feet and not my head...that's the way its meant to be
3) Never ever touch my toothbrush
4) In fact, don't touch anything that belongs to me without prior permission
5) Mushrooms are a fungus and they have a weird smell...I cannot eat a stinky fungus so don't force me
6) Cellphone batteries...they never last
7) Bugs and roaches that make weird sounds at night...I cant sleep with weird bug noises
8) Cobwebs
9) Plain milk...it smells bad.
There are lot more but I can't list them all...thank God for that!
You don't think I'm a freak do you?

Horror-scopes
Every morning when i read the papers i esp look fwd to the astrology section in the supplements. It hardly ever turns out to b true but i like reading it anyway.
They said yellow is my LUCKY colour for today. i personally hate yellow...but decided to smell a yellow flower anyway. Flowers are always nice...or so i thought until i got stung by a wasp; ironically that too was yellow.
The sun's yellow...and at this moment its shining real bright...restricting me from going out anywhere. no luck there...
My niece smothered yellow paint over my arm just after i'd had my bath.
Ok i guess u got the point...
The daily horoscope that comes in my mail is asking me if i "tend to be self-effacing"...what the...??
They said my lucky months this year would be January and May...i had my exams during these months.
They said my romantic months would be February and June. I was on a train on 14th Feb. And June is almost over but no romance yet...!
The thing is when i know that nothin the astrolgers say is ever gonna b true why am i always intrigued by them??!! Could b curiosity, or mayb i just like to knw what'll happen next...or mayb its just plain stupidity!!
Its time for lunch...guess wht i'm having. yellow dal!! ugh!

World Wide Weirdos
The web's a cool place...the world at your tips! so much stuff to do...and learn. And of course a very important element of the net is chatting. You meet all kinds of people from all walks of life. n sometimes its interesting to share their experience. Some of them are students, even teachers, professionals, businessmen, sometimes really funny ppl! once a guy told me, "sorry i cant talk to u, ur astrological sign isnt compatible with mine...!!"
And then there are the weirdos.
By weirdos i mean ppl who have nothing else to do except think about sex and all the things related to it...the perverts.
The most FAQs asked by these weirdos on the very first day of chatting include:
Are u a virgin?
what are ur stats?
Do u cyber?
whts ur ph no.?
and the funniest was, "plz give me ur ph no..i promise i wont call."
wht else wud u do...engrave it on the wall?!
There are many of them strewn across the web...if only u cud guess from their id's!
here's a conv b/w me n one of the weirdos, um let's call him Jackass:
Jackass: hey
me: hello
Jackass: asl?
me: 19/f
Jackass: cool
me (thinkin to myself): whts so cool in that?
Jackass: so u got a bf?
me: nope
Jackass: oh..hey r u a virgin?
me: how is that your concern?
Jackass: jus askin baby!
me (agen thinkin to myself): baby??!
Jackass: hey wanna cyber?
window closed. block this person.
tht is just one of the many jackasses that click on ur name with a ray of hope...
there's also this strange kinda unwritten norm on the net tht i always thought was rather strange...tht girls can only chat with guys, and guys can only chat with girls. I jes came to knw how imp it is to stick to this rule.
while i was happily surfing, a window jumped open. this was the conversation that followed b/w me and lets say...Freaky:
Freaky: hi there
me: yea?
Freaky: wanna chat?
me: um, ok
Freaky: i'm "*****", from Delhi. whr r u from?
me: delhi
Freaky: m/f?
me (thinkin "u cud guess tht from my id u ass!"): f
Freaky: great, me too!!!
me (thinkin sarcastically..wow wht a coincidence)
Freaky: so u goin around wid some1?
me (why do they always hav to ask this?!): nope
Freaky: ok..will u go around wid me?
i had to log off after this. now i have no girl (thank god) on my messenger list. and i'm seriously contemplating whether i shud talk to guys also...in fact i'm thinking i'll give chatting a break...the weirdo world can do without me.

Testing times
WHY??! For the love of god, tell me why do we have exams!? i wish life was one great big joyride without any speedbreakers...esp without road blocks like exams where you will bump ur head no matter how hard u press the brakes!
I did crash into an exam today...literally crashed! the examination room looks like a dingy dark dungeon..where i will have to spend 3 hours (tht seem like a decade) filling a sheet while begging my brains to remember wht i flipped thru in the morning! but my brain..like me doesnt retain anything. and i'm blank. so i look around. my friend's writing away to glory...she must knw everything. i look at the question paper again...thinking...8 questions, with a choice of answering any 5...5 huge massive monsters. i cud almost imagine them slithering out of the paper...dancing around my head, grinning n showing off their devilish teeth! Wht a dreadful sight! suddenly i'm snapped out of my reverie with the invigilator glaring at me...i look down at my paper...try and give it another shot. Problems faced by small newspapers...i've read that somewhere. and hey it all comes back...yay! i knw one ques! one monster's down, 4 more to go! n i suddenly feel like a powerpuff girl..."fighting crime trying to save the world"...fogot the rest!
and i finish my paper in time...n slide of the dungeon!
when i got bak..i opened my notebook to chk if wht i'd written was ok. it wasnt.
Oh no...i can see the monsters coming back! i think i'll need to be more than a powepuff girl this time....gulp

Marriage..!
I got an sms from a friend the other day. It went like...there's no difference b/w love marriage and arranged marriage. Its like asking someone if you want to be hanged or commit suicide! I totally agree!
The thing is I'm turning 20 this year. I can hardly believe I've had 20 whole years of existence. Seems like a hell lot of time! And my granny is around these days to visit mum. So you know how elders can be...pretty nagging at times! Especially when they bring up the most hateable topic of all time...marriage. Nani has been incessantly telling me to go in the kitchen and learn to cook! "Saure jaana hai..kuchh sikkh le...saas kad maaregi!" Thnx nani...tht just makes my fear of marriage go up 10 times! She's been telling just about everyone in my family to look for a "munda" for me...and I'm beginning to feel they're all falling for her advice. How can I get married so soon!!? and that to, to my parents' choice!? Ugh! They don't know wht I want..how can they choose a hubby for me! Just the thought of being with ONE man my entire life sends chills down my spine! He'll be there when i wake up, he'll be there when i'll go to sleep, at breakfast, at dinner...god! and whatt if he farts...or burps...or worse, snores!! Aaarggh! No way....nani's nagging has to stop...i don't want my folks' thoughts going in tht direction! I'm just not ready...to die!!
