That song...
How can anything make you feel this “in the moment”...
It reminds me of everything that is lost... Nostalgia...
Takes you back to certain magical moments and brings back emotions....
It all flashes in your mind ... and stays...
Is it the voice or the music itself...
It swirls around you and raps you up in its memories...
The song itself has no connection to my own memories but the fact that such a song can actually make you feel this way is enough to emphasize the genius that is ********
Hmmm... I think it’s the soulful humming that gets to me.

But none of this nor the song changes anything though...
The song doesn't... can't... get to me beyond a limit you know...

Another heartache, another failed romance... On and on... Does anybody know what we are looking for? I guess I'm learning...

The Phantom Limb

IIT Saarang 2010… a day filled with nothing but walking… all day long… There I was lying in bed out of exhaustion… Only to feel once again my phantom thumb sprouting out of my ankles!!

How annoying… I could feel its disrupted growth, a stump… I can see it… Yes an elegantly long skinny toe…. My hands clutched at thin air trying to grab hold of it… But alas… Nothing.

It actually grows where man-before-evolution once had his thumb…
What does this mean…?
That my big toe was placed in the wrong place? Is this why I keep spraining it all the time… Because it is somewhere it is not supposed to be…?
Or is it just that I am supposed to have 6 toes on each foot?
There is also the fact that I feel the tug of my fine-nailed friend only on my right foot and not as strongly on my left…
Does this mean that I should have 11 toes instead 10…?
Or is it 11 and a half owing to the weaker feeling on my left foot…

I chanced upon a song the other day in my play list … A song called “Phantom Limb” by The Shins… Hmmm… ‘Tis my current ring tone on my phone…. I refrain from answering calls so that I can listen to the song… I feel The Shins are the only people who know what I am talking about… Lord knows if the song has any connection at all to an invisible digit…

The thumb haunts me now…
It is like the story of a lost twin… Always there… I feel it even as I walk …

I was a big fan of the cartoon series I Am Weasel when I was a kid… There’s this one episode where I R baboon complains of an invisible ache. Weasel discovers that it is actually the work of Baboons broken phantom limb …

What does this show??
That Phantom Limbs do exist!
No matter that the phenomenon was proven by an animated baboon and his friend….
The story is enough for me to live peacefully, proof enough that my own story is not completely bonkers…
Cheers…

The Mentos Advertisement.

Okay, there is a monkey pulling a donkey on a plank. It occasionally uses the whip on it as well. The monkey takes a break to find mint (Mentos) on the forest floor.
The donkey is offered to take it but it brushes the monkey off with a graceful flick of its hoof. Our monkey (aka our supposed ancestor in the very near future, 1 minute and 5 seconds to be exact considering the length of the ad!) pops it in. He is washed by this major brainwave apparently and walks off. There begins the evolution of man from ape!
The ad depicts how ape evolves to cave man, invents weapons for hunting, kills animals for clothing, and invents fire with the use of flint stones, passes through the era of dinosaurs and then the wheel. All thanks to Mentos. All of this is described beautifully by the ape running and finally he comes to the donkey which is still sitting on the plank… he goes “Daddu??”
The donkey is surprised enough to let all the grass in its mouth fall and from there on the donkey is the one pulling the cart while Man holds a whip above it.

Ahem…the ad has some major attitude and the nerve of the creators to attribute the evolution of Man to Mentos! Class! Can thou deny its supremacy? The background music is completely whack, addictive and creates this hilarious tongue-in-cheek feeling! The way the monkey goes running into the forest visually describes evolution and I love it! Personally it’s the most descriptive part and the best! The mint is actually said to be the missing link that triggers evolution. The ad starts off with the words “Going back in time… To find the missing link”. I say no more…

Funny party is, while the donkey pulls the cart there is a disclaimer at the bottom that says “Donkeys are not meant to be animals of labor”. Yeah right!
To think that the Daddu just let evolution, Mentos, slip right through his hooves. When it was THAT close! Can you imagine what the world would be like if we had evolved from donkeys and not monkeys? Not to mention with the help of Mentos!! Poor Daddu… His species must be furious as hell.

The ad is so Bitchy that my mind was completely blown when I saw it. I can’t believe they dedicated slow grueling takes-millions-of-years evolution to a simple mint!! To reduce the enormity of the phenomenon to a cheap (no offense) 50 Paisa crappy mint that probably isn’t that popular in the first place!!
What the Fuck!!!!
:O

Rated as one among the Top 10 ads of 2009.Mentos ads have always been “bitchy” with an attitude (with a capital A!). Words can never do justice to it.
This tops them all.
Cheers!

SMILE EMPTY SOUL - "Holes"

I've been through everything I've seen
Religions and beliefs
But nothings ever really helped
I'll try, drugs until I die
Breaking others lives
Until I really find myself

And all these people think they know
What's missing from my show
Just admit that Jesus died for me
Take your bibles and go home

Cause as I'm walking through this life
I know that things are right
I don't know how to fill the holes, I keep
Falling in along the way
No matter what they say
No one has it figured out

You act like everything is great
There's nothing out of place
I can see right through the words you spin
You're burning up within
You're tired and your thin
Your can't believe that god let you down

And all these people think they know
What's missing from my show
Just admit that Jesus died for me
Take your bibles and go home

Cause as I'm walking through this life
I know that things are right
I don't know how to fill the holes, I keep
Falling in along the way
No matter what they say
No one has it figured out

And as I'm walking through this life
I know that things are right
I don't know how to fill the holes, I keep
Falling in along the way
No matter what they say
No one has it figured out

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE - "Kill All Your Friends"

Well you can hide a lot about yourself,
But honey, what're you gonna do?
And you can sleep in a coffin,
But the past ain't through with you.

'Cause we are all a bunch of liars.
Tell me, baby, who do you wanna be?
And we are all about to sell it,
'Cause it's tragic with a capital T.
Let it be, Let it be, Let it be!

'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends.
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
And we all get together when we bury our friends.
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
It's been eight bitter years since I've been seeing your face.
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
And you're walking away, and I will die in this place.

Sometimes you scrape and sink so low,
I'm shocked at what you're capable of.
And if this is a coronation,
I ain't feeling the love.

'Cause we are all a bunch of animals
That never paid attention in school.
So tell me all about your problems;
I was killing before killing was cool.
You're so cool, You're so cool, So cool!

'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends.
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
And we all get together when we bury our friends.
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
It's been nine bitter years since I've been seeing your face.
(Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)
And you're walking away, and I will die in this place.

You'll never take me alive.

As Silent as the Non-existent.

As silent as the non-existent....

'Tis quite scary when people start searching for you only to find you sitting right next to them... all because you are so quiet...

Nobody gives a shit as long as you smile.

Its Lawyer Funny.

This would probably be my catch phrase if I had my own law firm..
"We love to fight.
Its what we do best."

A Mans World, A Sad Overview of the Simple and Backward Rural (yet, present in the 21st century) Female mind.

A Mans World.

I wonder if any of you saw the Ode to Kamal Hasan on Vijay TV for 50 years in the film industry aired on the 11th, 12th and 13th of January...
It was awesome...His speech was simply mind-blowing, touching and honest.
I'm sure all of you noticed the famed actors on stage...
Momooty, Mohan Lal, Rajnikanth and Kamal Hasan(duh) and for some reason... Sarath Kumar...???
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, they're all MEN!
There weren't any WOMEN!
WTF!!!
You know... No matter how much respect I actually have for all these people (MINUS Sarath Kumar) it still hurt that there were no women up there...
Once again we are sharply reminded that we live in what is truly a mans world... 'Nuf said... :(
I bow my head in shame.

Why is it so though…?
Why??
An a**hole once had the courtesy to point out to me that nothing was ever invented by women, that everything that was ever created was invented by men…
Doesn’t that make your blood boil…?
Doesn’t that drive you insane...?
Well it should…
But why!!??
Why is this clear unbalance present?
Hmm…. It has something to do with the way that women are brought up... Being told that they are gentle, weak and soft...
We are not… Maybe we are not made for fist fights... But then again when does violence solve anything…
Maybe if every single stupid parent out there didn’t stop their daughter when she wanted to do something constructive and daring or different, things wouldn’t turn out this way.
There’s this other thing as well... The fact that this is a mans world has sunk in so badly that it has even been ingrained into the mind of the woman aka wife, mother etc...
Why is it still considered alright if the girl doesn’t try hard but not alright if the guy doesn’t?
It all comes back down to the fact that it’s mans world and it’s all about men staying in control… put a belt of chastity on the woman why don’t we...
Why not Castrate the guy huh?
You can’t control the stupid senseless Neanderthal man so lets control the woman who is good natured and simple…
Well so much for masculine superiority!!!
You dumbfucks ain’t doin’ nothing’ but let the testosterone leak…
SUCK IT UP AND DIE!!

Some people who read this might think “Hey what the hells she talking about… It’s not like that anymore...” Is it?
If you are truly raised this way, then do not be proud; do not boast... you have nothing…because it is something that is to be made common, to be present in every house… Accept that it is something that should be made this way…
When you boast you prove that respecting women is something to be achieved and not present on its own…

If you still feel that way then how come women aren’t actually doing anything!!!
This is something that I confess/ask out of a lot of pain… Why isn’t anything consequential ever done by the women even now…
Are we yet to evolve due to us being controlled and pushed to the back over and over again, nevertheless by a bunch of ape-like yee-haws… or do we just don’t give a shit…
Either way it’s something sad or shamefull…

Moving on… Let’s take a look at feminism… A stupid useless tool… Why on earth do you even need a tool to make women stronger?
It’s called changing the way you think people!!
Get with it…

You know what the most annoying thing of all??
#1 When women out there actually stop themselves from doing things just because its not feminine enough (or rather girly enough!!!).
#2 Another reason why she would stop herself from doing something daring is because apparently the guys are watching her!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!!

I fight and argue all for what purpose…
Only to find out in the end that the above discussed sex doesn’t actually deserve it… that the actually prefer to be weak and mindless…
To hell with you.
