Quote of the Day

There are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely - or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in it's hypocrisy demands.

Where to Now?

It’s been almost a year since I started this blog. Well, its 4 months shy of its anniversary. I still remember June 15th, babu gave me the blog to write my first article. Oh boy Oh boy, how should I write it? What should I write in it? Will people like it or not? So many questions ran through my mind just for that one post. I wish I felt the same anxiety and excitement today. I used to open MS Word while writing my posts, but now I just write in the space given. It’s like I’ve lost my initial purpose of starting this thing.

My blog started out just being a simple little blog. A place where I could write down my thoughts without caring who reads it, what anyone thinks of it. Just my little place to take out the stress of life, my little sanctuary of thoughts. What’s happened to that simplistic little blog? Why has it become so commercialized? As I said, I just wanted to write, I wanted the world to read it, but not the whole world. The best thing about the internet is that people don’t judge you, and if they do, it doesn’t make a difference. I started publicizing my blog to friends and family, a move I think I shouldn’t have made. I don’t want people I actually know to read it, I don’t want to see their judgmental eyes. The primary reason was to get away from that, speak my mind, but in the end I was silenced.

When I started blogging,I didn’t care about anything. I mean today, there are so many other factors involved in this that I think it would be better that I didn’t know them. I recently was offered money for putting links up on my site. I accepted. Greed got the best of me. I’m always worrying about my rank, how many people come to my site, did they leave comments or not? Why does it have to be like this? Why can’t I just write, and not care about anything?

The answer is, that’s how life rolls. You start off as a kid, without worries. Life’s filled with happiness, you keep growing and the stress keep increasing. When I was a kid, I wished that I would grow up faster. GOD, I want to take that back. I want to be small again. I don’t want to grow up as fast as I am. I’d rather have my privileges cut instead of all this mess. I don’t want life to be so commercial. Why can’t I have a simple life?

I don’t know IF I can ever make my life simpler, or turn back time and be that little innocent kid again, but I’m sure that I can start from here. I apologize to anyone who takes anything offensively written on my blog. I don’t want to hurt you, and please don’t judge me. Maybe I’m weird, but I can at least speak my mind freely on MY OWN BLOG!

So if anything, you’ve been warned. All the posts from now on will not care about courtesy, or what people think of me. I’ll say them if I want to.

P.S. I have to give credit to Gurdit for bringing back the meaning of blogging to me. Love his site.

Good Job Airport Security!!

This article doesn’t even deserve a blog article for itself. It’s just too much of a ridiculous thing. I’m angry at the Airport Security and the Flight Company for letting this happen. How could you, honestly?

First of all, it’s your fault, accept it. It’s agreeable that you are allowed in the terminal if you have a ticket. But after that, everything which happened were series of mistakes.

“The airline official started drumming on her keyboard. There seemed to be some problem. She resumed typing again,” he recounted.

“She looked up and asked me if I had baggage to check in. When I said no, she asked my seat preference, and I asked for an aisle seat.”

For the Love that you have for the country - please have better employees! I mean this lady was clearly not at her best performance (hopefully it wasn’t, because if it was, boy are we screwed). Second thing, who wants the aisle seat? Clearly the window seat is much better, you get to see outside. Common Man, stay with me here.

Aviation analyst Kapil Kaul said Mr Srinivas’s case appeared to be a “rare” one caused by an absent-minded passenger.

What really pisses me off and presses my buttons is the above statement. I mean sure the customer made a mistake, but you have no right to call him “absent minded”. It’s not their fault, it’s the airline’s fault. Let’s say this was not an “absent minded” customer but a terrorist. Would the employee still make the same mistake? This could be a threat to national security. It’s just really stupid to blame it on the customer when in fact its pretty much your fault. This was a lucky chance that it was just a good customer, not trying to blow anything up.

A lot of times, when India does something stupid, I always try to defend them saying it happens, but if they keep making such stupid mistakes, I don’t know how much longer I can go. You make me feel ashamed!!!
