Divided We Stand,United We Fall.In God We Trust.

Hey God!

What are you doing to my fellow beings and me?

Have we not been breathing to what we were supposed to be?

Why is our blood frothing with this asperity?

I believe, you owe us all an overdue apology!

IS THIS YOUR IDEA OF A JOKE OR IS IT YOUR WAY OF CONVEYING A FUCKING LIE?

Hey God!

We can’t seem to comprehend what your ethics really mean.

You kept telling me that it ain’t my fault that I am always wrong.

Did you create the weak to simply justify the strong?

You can’t fool us anymore with your non-sense prophets’ song!

ANOTHER FUCKING LIE?

Hey God!

Why do I keep seeing you in my dreams?

I feel my aversion grow all the more supreme.

Is our world really pathetic as it seems?

Why don’t you just give us whatever you must have deemed!

I WISH I COULD BELIEVE ALL YOUR LIES!

Hey God!

You very well know that we got nothing at all to hide.

We’ve lost our Faith, sanity and pride.

Schizophrenia has consumed me, in this created world you despise.

We’d believed all your promises, why did they have to turn out to be a bunch of lies?

WHY HAVE YOU LEFT US TO ROT? ALONG WITH OUR CONSCIENCE!

Don’t take it away from us.

We need someone to hold on to.

Don’t take my conscience away from me.

I just want to hold on to you!

I DON’T SEEM TO CARE ANYMORE.I JUST WISH SO MUCH TO BELIEVE!

Why did you make me throw my sanity away?

Left my integrity and ideals to decay!

How many of us did you betray?

Why make our lives to sway!

My mind is filled with sickness and disease.

My flesh and soul are begging you please!

My spirit’s on its hands and knees.

Oh Please! Take me away from this world of Piss!

ALL I WANT IS TO BELIEVE!

Summer Øf 2001.

                      I've always loved my summer holidays during school,the cricket/soccer matches,the PlayStation, the world of wrestling entertainment,always seemed to speed up time.One fine after noon my classmates and I decided to play a match of cricket at a local 'park'.And by park I mean,an arid waste space,whose whole area could be covered in or under five minutes on foot.Anyhow,after five to six hours of physically tiring ourselves,we'd decided to go home.But,just then,I noticed something just up north of our park,something really uncanny and unperceived.From where I was standing it looked like some dome with a huge pipe sticking out of it.After a long conversational debate,we decided to pay our mysterious freak of a structure a curious yet a gingerly visit.

                      It was around 5 PM when we started towards the structure and apparently out of no where our schoolmates from section-C and section-B{We were from section-A and collectively they were around 20 people and we were 5.} appeared before us.{Was it coincidence or was it fate?}We were like "Hey!!What are you guys doing here at this time?"And they replied by saying,"We've come to explore a laboratory,which we heard is haunted!"I've heard of a haunted house before,but a laboratory?My sudden thirst for exploration gave goosebumps all over my body,unfortunately,the same feeling wasn't shared by my mates.I could clearly see the expression of tremor across their faces.Since,I was insanely persistent back then,so,I managed to drag them along with the other people somehow.

                      After the 20 minute gradual walk,we'd finally reached our destination at around 6 PM.And what we saw thereafter forced us all to take every step to be thought of our last.It was one of the most ghastly panorama I ever witnessed!Not only did I get to see a broken down laboratory{With a dome and a telescope!!!},it was alongside a broken down house and also a very huge graveyard.Wow,I felt I was in a horror movie or something.I Was just waiting for leather-face to come out and make me famous!!{Of course,I have to be the lone survivor for that to happen hehe}Anyhow,to our surprise there was actually an old watchman patrolling around the graveyard entrance.After mustering up enough mettle,I decided to ask the old man about that place.Obviously,I kept a considerable distance between us.{I don't want my head to end up at my feet now do I?}To my disappointment,all the old man said was "Be gone!!You people don't belong here."

                      People say,"Ignorance is bliss"{Talk about the banality of proverbs eh?} and I was extremely happy that we all ignored the old man's words.As we went on with our quest of exploration with divided groups,{Two groups to be exact,one for the laboratory and one for the house.And none for the graveyard hehe}I was again disappointed not to find any skeletons or eerie spirits at all!All our group found was a huge network of well-spun spider webs all over the place.Well at least it was fun to watch the arachnophobic people in our group freak out when ever they got entangled in a huge spider web.While walking out of the house,I was wondering what was the 'Laboratory Group" up to.To my horror,I saw them running for their lives!Not from ghouls or headless zombies,but from a rabid pack of dogs!!On seeing that,our whole group too ran frantically,each associate was trying to find an opening through the mayhem.No matter how valorous we all were that evening,the phantasm of receiving a set of injections on our bellies didn't seem to be such a delightful foresight.I guess it's every man for himself when a pack of dogs are hell-bent on having a bite off us!

                        After escaping the near-carnage,the next morning we all came to know that among the so 25 people,only one was bitten by the hungering hounds.{Hungering hounds,in the victim's words.I am quite sure it was just one dog which bit him,otherwise he wouldn't have been alive today.If rabies didn't kill him,the multiple sets of injections would've for sure}After hearing the news,the first thought that came to my mind was "Geez!What a bad day to smell like steak."All in all,it turned out to be one of the most exciting days of my life.And at the end of it all,I am confident to say,Bryan Adams'  "Summer of '69" doesn't even come close to my "Summer of 2001".[^_^]

Interview with the Two-Faced lady #1.

The two-faced lady,what can I say about her?Nothing,cos' she isn't a single entity.And I've the pathetic honor of interviewing her many a times.Yes,she is quite famous,even more than a play boy bunny and also more than an Oscar-winning actress.Hence,knowing about her is every loser's fantasy and marrying her every human's dream.Ladies and gentlemen,boys and girls and children of all ages,the joker arrogantly brings to you,my first ever interview with the two-faced lady.


Joker:Good evening,miss "$*(&@#^(%#",it's a great pleasure to have you on my show.
TFL:I am happy to be here.
Joker:Great,let's start off by me asking about your marriage plans.I am sure the rejects of our society would love to learn about it

TFL:Sure,I would love to get married to a man who's rich,smart,handsome,funny,caring,loving,well built,who has a great personality and most importantly he must be................

Joker:Wait just a minute,are you talking about a 'single' man here?

TFL:What?

Joker:Never mind,continue with what you were saying.

TFL:OK,so,most importantly he should be tall!

Joker:{Laughs hysterically}You're barely 5'2" yourself so,I guess anyone with a 5'5"–6" should do for you.

TFL:I want someone who is at least 5'11" or above.

Joker:Bullshit!!Why would someone as tall as that would want to marry you?! Even he would want a taller life partner and he is even eligible to seek one,since he is tall.But you,I think you are not even eligible!!Be practical,look for someone who earns well,doesn't matter more or less than you,and tie the knot,height should not matter!

TFL:Well it matters to me.Ever since my childhood I have been fantasizing that I will have a tall good looking husband and live happily ever after.

Joker:Happily ever after?This ain't no fairy tale,you're 40 plus and this is India!

TFL:You and patriotic?

Joker:No?I am just making you face reality,you don't have certain privileges in this country when you turn 40.I believe your dreams of gaining a tall husband are somewhat shattered.And I believe,I am taking 'your' interview?

TFL:Whatever!!And,of course not.I have many friends,who are short but got tall husbands.I will also get one.And when it comes to my current age,well, in that case I’ll remain a spinster.I am not the artificial,compromising types and I believe that a relationship should be wholesome and true.And in marriage, physical appearance plays a vital role.I will not marry some shortie and pretend to be happy with him,because I know I will not be!!I certainly do not want to land up as some ‘Desperate Housewife’.

Joker:Are you trying to say that all women who are married to shorties are desperate housewives?!

TFL:Not really!!You see I am a Science student and this is an era of Fashion,it always was actually.The ‘Good Looking’ people are the ones who are always hankered after.Suppose I marry a shortie,what then?A boy or a girl will be born to me,my short daughter or son will obviously be enamored by some tall good looking lad or lass respectively,but,they will be turned down,but obviously,as you just said,taller men/women are eligible to seek taller men and women.What next?They will become frustrated citizens of India and I will not be able to tolerate my child's sadness & dejection from life .He/she will then hold me responsible for their status,already Mother Indian is over burdened with frustrated desperadoes and I do not wish to increase the weight!

Joker:Errrr,even if the 'Good Looking' factor applies to your husband,I can't say the same thing for you,so there is a high chance that you still mite give birth to some freak?And both,my mom and my dad are beautiful people,from the inside and also from the outside,they've quite a few certificates and tags to prove that.But,yet,they gave birth to a freak.Like me!And you're 40 plus,your reproduction system mite be rotting as well,just like your brain.So,your chances of having healthy babies of your liking are pretty abysmal.And believe me,no young lad in his right mind would marry your.Bwhahahahaha!!

TFL:I beg your pardon.I said would get married and live my life.Not stay as a Prostitute and please my clients.I am a part of the Society and do not wish to go against it.Idiots born to illiterate frustrated fools probably would go for it!!I have seen many things through our media,which makes fun of pregnancy.Such humiliation the pregnant Mother is made to go through,maybe they are not aware but the result of such a humiliating pregnancy may lead to the birth of an abnormal child,who will grow up to become a drug addict or a moron !!Ha ! I am better off alone!!

Joker:Bwhaha!Exactly what I wanted to hear.But,unfortunately,only one insane being is allowed to leave from this show and I don't plan on dying yet.It was real hysterical talking to you and with you dead,there is one more scum less in this world to live with.Thank you for your time and have a nice trip.Bwhahahahaha!SLASH!!!{NOOOOOOOoooooooo..........}

Thank you folks for tuning in on my show,till we meet again,keep smiling![<:o)]

***Oh Lucy,dinner's ready!!!***

With friends like these......

Eenie,Menie,Minie and Mo were some of my closest friends.Since,Mo is the kind of person who simply consider's talking to me only when Mo needs or rather requires my company for her/his personal errands,so why don't I kick Mo out of the picture completely?Now,with Mo gone,that leaves Eenie,Menie and Minie.We've have known one another for quite a long time,six-long years to be precise.There wasn't a week that we spent without each other,we had the same taste in music,movies,gaming and what not.


Our daily hangout was a gaming cafe called 'Frag',after our college hours we would make a daily appointment to meet up and stay there for at least 6 hours,except for the weekends though,that's the only time we got to sleep properly.From the all the swearing to all the insults were just a part of our everyday routine,not to mention a lot of late night disasters we went through and till this day I laugh or rather cherish about it.During this time we had become the best in our common hobby and went on to win a lot of tournaments,of course that lasted till the time few of us decided to be not-so-determined anymore.After 4 years or so,all of us decided to join a common MMORPG and we did.Our saga on World of Warcraft lasted for about 2 years,Eenie,Menie and Minie were highly addicted to the drug called 'WOW'.Unfortunately for me,I decided to quit 'WOW',as it was taking a lot of my time and I needed to concentrate on various other aspects of my life.Eenie,Menie and Mo still continued to play for around 12 hours a day and I was happy as well as sad for them.


Well,after that I almost never even bothered to enter the realm of 'WOW'.I was too busy with my own life and things to do,but,I did manage to be in touch with the trio.But,Alas!I'd noticed a very drastic change among the trio within a week of me quitting 'WOW'.No phone calls neither on mobile nor landline,I was beginning to get frantic and frustrated at their behaviour and I too decided myself to stay away from them.So,even I never bothered meeting them or giving them a message online.Funny ain't it?The bond of friendship doesn't really depend on the duration or the passage of time.


As I continued with my life,after a week of deciding that I am better off alone.My door bell rings and when I answered it,to my shock I found Eenie,Menie and Minie standing at the door and cursing me.They claim to have called me a hundred times on my mobile as well as on my landline,then,I realized that I'd lost my phone a week ago and also when I checked my landline it was dead.After a little 'ah-ah' and a little 'oh-oh',they asked me out for a movie and off we went.Truly,with friends like these,you mite just make a fool of yourself.There isn't any deep moral to this story,but hey!I did manage to waste 2 minutues of your life.Have a nice day.And please,cover your mouth before you cough and shut your eyes too before you sneeze or you mite just pop them out.

The so-called-cursed 08/08/08?Bah,superstitions!

Ever since I was a kid,I wasn't the slightest bit superstitious.Coming from an Indian family,it is sort of peculiar not to be superstitious.My Mother has always taken unnatural events quite seriously and I was always frowned upon for not taking such kind of abnormal predicaments seriously.For example,walking under a ladder has always been considered,to bring bad luck by many people.When I heard about this mumbo-jumbo for the first time,I couldn't resist myself from going on a search for random ladders to walk under from.This I did when I was in my 4th grade,being naive,ignorant and alike,I began my quest of walking under ladders whenever I spotted one just to see what can really happen.Nothing happened,nothing ever did for the rest of that year,maybe lots of unknown people died on the day I set off for my little adventure,but that wouldn't really affect me now would it?

Many years have passed by,along with my proving-superstitions-wrong-scenarios,I had had almost done everything from breaking a mirror to letting a black cat walk in-front of me and yet nothing worth noticing ever happened?Why?Or maybe because superstitious voodoo is simply intriguing in books and to scare your feeble minded folks for self morbid amusement?Of course,our superstitious beliefs are just the icing on the cake.Where the cake being the prophecies made by mad French apothecaries and alike,to which people have made themselves fond of for over 400 years,is it because many people are just too easy to be fooled that such things have become so famous?

A handful of religious factions and similar seemed to believe and tried to infuse the theory of "The end of the world" by the date 06/06/06,to the rest of the world,just because some lunatics believe that the number '666' is the symbol of the devil doesn't give them the right to wrongfully play with the fickle minded people living on this planet,it simply leads to mindless chaos and havoc.But,in the end,the year '2006' too went on to be nothing special or diverse.In my present days,I don't really seem to care about unexplainable beliefs,I am just too busy trying to make my life good and decent,like any other day 08/08/08 had arrived,I ignored my mother's warnings and I went on with my usual schedule of attending college,eating my lunch,making plans for the weekend,etc.In case,people don't know what's 08/08/08,it's considered to be a very bad day for everyone,as mentioned by our so many well-to-do astrologers on the box and all of us were adviced by the media to stay at home to prevent any kind of misfortune.As usual,I never gave heed to such nonsense as ever and carried on to climb a 'RTC' bus to college,I had fallen asleep in the bus till the time I reached college,I was happy then,since I had a very peaceful dream on the way.Nothing could've ruined this day for me or could it?Anyhow I got down the bus and walked up to my class room and was reading a book.Then,I realized I had to call up a bunch of friends to tell them about some upcoming gaming tournament,but the only problem was I had lost my phone in the bus for reasons unknown,since I had zipped pockets,I couldn't have lost it,Alas!!My pocket had a major tear in it,which it had received on the bus too,which was big enough to lose a fat ass phone.Disappointed,after college hours,I began my journey back home.

After I reached home,I thought to myself,bleh,things could've been worse,so let's just take it easy.But,my nightmare had just begun.During the same day,I had burnt the food completely which I was cooking for the family,I had dropped a bottle of milk and had to go through the pain of cleaning the floor and making sure to have it stench-free.If that wasn't bad,later that afternoon,the house phone rang,only to deliver a message that one of my cousin's had a bad road accident and she has been admitted at 'Mahaveer Hospital',though I don't like her much,things were turning from bad to worse in no time.Before,my family and I tried to depart for the hospital,it began raining to the point where Hyderabad itself had become an underwater city!!So,we had to stay home and feel guilty about the fact that we couldn't help my cousin's situation.After having a bad day,the night wasn't OK either.An uncle of whom I am fond of,had informed my family via telephone,that now he is a victim of lung cancer and would be undergoing diagnosis for an unpredictable treatment for his inevitable death or for his unlikely survival.

The clock struck 12,and it was goodbye 08/08/08,while I was looking back on what happened on the preceding day,many thoughts flooded my mind,was 08/08/08 really a cursed day?Did I commit a terrible mistake by not listening to my mother?Or was it just a coincidence?Did the phone companies play a heinous joke on me?Were the the bizarre prophets right all this time?Or just maybe,I had a really bad nightmare?But,true nightmares don't disappear when we wake up,they disappear when we die!So,with all these fucked up thoughts in my head,I woke up the next day,with a smile upon my face and with a thought in my head."Hey!!!Things could've been worse.Right?"And our journey continues.........

The Green Mile Review

"The Green Mile"is based on a novel by Stephen King, and has been written and directed by Frank Darabont. It is Darabont's first film since the great "Shawshank Redemption" in 1994. That, too, was based on a King prison story, but this one is very different. It involves the supernatural, for one thing,in a spiritual, not a creepy, way.

I guess this is the only movie till date that has managed to make me cry.This movie has memorable performances by Tom Hanks And Michael Clarke Duncan.Many feeble minded people believe that this movie is way too long,in fact this movie couldn't be any longer or shorter with respect to time.Both the novel as well as the movie are mind blowing pieces of art.

The movie is told in flashback as the memories of Paul as an old man, now in a retirement home. "The math doesn't quite work out," he admits at one point, and we find out why. The story is in no haste to get to the sensational and supernatural; it takes at least an hour simply to create the relationships in the prison, where Paul's lieutenant is rock-solid and dependable, where the warden is good and fair, and where the prisoners include a balmy coot named Delacroix and a taunting monster named Wharton.

By taking the extra time, Darabont has made King's "The Green Mile" into a story which develops and unfolds, which has detail and space. The movie would have been much diminished at two hours--it would have been a series of episodes without context. As Darabont directs it, it tells a story with beginning, middle, end, vivid characters, humor, outrage and emotional release.[9.5/10]

The Dark Knight Review

'The Dark Knight' has to be one of the best movies ever made.Christopher Nolan has truly brought out the true tormented scheme of Gotham City.This movie was one of the most anticipated releases of 2008 and not only was this flick breathtaking,it was also so awesome beyond expectations that one would be truly amazed by the professional acting that this movie has to offer,which was clearly missing from all the previous Batman movies except for 'Batman Begins'.The Joker was played by Heath Ledger(Rest in Peace) and it would be a conspiracy if he didn't get nominated for the Oscars.Heath Ledger has actually outperformed all his predecessors with his portrayal of the psychotic Joker.The laugh,the scars,the lines,the plots,almost everything about the Joker was phenomenal.Aaron Eckhart was really good with his portrayal of Harvey Dent[Tommy Lee Jones,didn't even come close to Aaron Eckhart.Maggie Gyllenhaal has replaced Katie Holmes for the role of Rachel Dawes and in my humble opinion it was a great decision.And Christian Bale is rightfully on his way for being the best Batman ever.This movie is in fact all about respect,rather than enjoyment.'The Dark Knight' actually shows that not every ending is a Happy one.

“The Dark Knight” is not a simplistic tale of good and evil. Batman is good, yes, The Joker is evil, yes. But Batman poses a more complex puzzle than usual: The citizens of Gotham City are in an uproar, calling him a vigilante and blaming him for the deaths of policemen and others. And the Joker is more than a villain. He’s a Mephistopheles whose actions are fiendishly designed to pose moral dilemmas for his enemies.Yes, the special effects are extraordinary. They focus on the expected explosions and catastrophes, and have some superb, elaborate chase scenes.

The plot involves nothing more or less than the Joker’s attempts to humiliate the forces for good and expose Batman’ secret identity, showing him to be a poser and a fraud. He includes Gordon and Dent on his target list, and contrives cruel tricks to play with the fact that Bruce Wayne once loved, and Harvey Dent now loves, Assistant D.A. Rachel Dawes.The tricks are more cruel than he realizes, because the Joker doesn’t know Batman’s identity.Heath Ledger has a good deal of dialogue in the movie, and a lot of it isn’t the usual jabs and jests we’re familiar with.It’s psychologically more complex, outlining the dilemmas he has constructed, and explaining his reasons for them.

And the Batman legend, with its origins in film noir, is the most fruitful one for exploration.[10/10]
