RELY ON US: MERU, ANTITHESIS IF THE LONDON TAXI DRIVER

They say the London caby's are the smartest. And today, I arrived at Hyderabad for my ILP, and found their antithesis in one of the Meru Cab drivers. However convincing their punchline 'RELY ON US' may try to be, one can't rely on a chap who drives a cab and doesn't know where the Rail Station of the city is. Next I asked him to go to Gachi Bowli, where the ILP training center as well as the accommodation is, he asked me if I know the rout to that place!! Now at this point it is prudent to specify that Gachibowli and Hi tech city are the most frequented routs due to high corporate traffic directed there. Finally, we somehow reached Gachibowli and our man misses the place drives a couple of kilometers and then turns back again. Accommodation is decent, but I feel like a construction worker, with almost a whole new country coming up from scratch all around me. And the ILP accommodation at Gachibowli guy's, its no different. Its actually a half constructed building that's recovering its costs even before getting completely built. Jokes apart, as rickety as it may look from the outside, interiors are decent. Beware of mosquitoes guys you don't wanna be down with Chikungunya during ILP. It's also a bit of a letdown that girls live somewhere far off - Now that explains why so many ILP blogs talk about people staying late at the CMC center, till they'r kicked out including weekends.

A - A - A.. SERVE SOMEBODY

Yeah.. So when I was bout to say I've joined the earning population of this great society, I came to realize that I won't pocket any money while i'm training.. As in, I'm being paid but the salary will be credited only after the ILP's over, so Cheers!!

I'm on pocket money for sometime to come..

But whatever I'm one of the lucky few to have been called early enough, when companies are loath to pay even the people already on rolls. Well if you gotta serve somebody (i'm listenin to it right now), guess TCS is the best option..

Heeeee..

So what the hell am I cribbin bout.. Cheers again!! Btw nice song, n a good video too.. but the track i'm listenin to is different, Dylan's Guitar'll get you tranced in this one

SO THEY CAN BLAST AGAIN / THE DOVE IS KILLIN EVERYONE

I took her out, it was a Friday night
I wore Cologne, to get the feeling right
We started making out, and she took off her pants
But then bomb blast behind me

And that's about the time they made a ghost of me
Indians shouldn't take their lives so seriously.. Wat
ever happened to national security
Compassion is hypocrisy
And they say i should take it chill
So they can blast again
So they can blast again

Then later on, they wanna try phone
They called a mob, from a paid phone
The f****in circuit closed, the detonator charged
They'd all the marbles n the keels

And that's about the time they praised The One who weeps
Indians shouldn't take their lives so seriously.. Wat
ever happened to national security
THE DOVE IS KILLIN EVERYONE
But we won't go strangle Laden
So they can blast again
So they can blast again

And that's what the status quo does to me
Cos I do take my life seriously
Can't have'em doin their thing in my home
THE DOVE IS KILLIN EVERYONE
But we won't kill'em in their camp
So they can blast again
So they can blast again

So they can blast again

Another Set of Serial Blasts! This time in Delhi. Another song I reworded.. this Blink182 number's was a wierd target for me to reword. But for some reasons it just had to be this one.

I'm freaked out n frustrated..

Again referring to the absolutely pusillanimous international security policy I'm now more hopeless and less optimistic than what i was while writing 'WHOM ARE WE KIDDING?'. I've chosen this happy punk song cos first of all the recurrence of the attacks is well reflected in th recurring "SO THEY CAN BLAST AGAIN" and also i feel the contrast between the feel of the music and that of the lyrics i've put in, is striking. This difference i hope brings out how cheap n easy it is to take Indian lives.

In a faint hope that next time we vote, we talk politics, we write or express our views in any dam fashion, do anything socially significant.. We have national Security at the top of our minds.

Huh.. Guess i should try writing songs now rather than reword them..

PERPETUAL UNIVERSE: SWEET CHILD O' MINE

Bewildered by crazy concerns about the earth eating black hole I thought does the universe actually end? Certainly it does if it has a beginning. The point is.. how sure are we of a beginning? Retracing the expanding universe to a tiny unity is one thing, but looking beyond this extrapolated time line i feel a perpetual machine is a logical possibility. A universe where the cycles of expansion and collapse are more or less sinusoidal.

The very thought of a perpetual universe amazingly reminds me of something I thought of when I was a toddler. As a lil kid who didn't quite know of something called death, I very conveniently explained immortality to myself. I used to be up to all mischievous things and when stopped by my parents i would yell back that when I grow up.. all of you will become little and then, I'll boss over you!!

As illogical as it may sound, I feel that's the most natural conclusion for anything perpetual. Conceiving the notion of a perpetual universe, i feel would indeed throw a very different light on.. everything (and would certainly prove Einstein's wronged theory right!). Hypothetical as it sounds now, an unending universe for me is a signal that existence can indeed be sustainable. That all beautiful things are not doomed. That life in fact can be immortal!

Come to think of it, immortality of humans or that of life in general, is neither illogical nor immoral. If mass and energy together can be indestructible so can life. Again just like them life'll have to change forms. Yes the world as we know it will come to an end. It happens everyday to many people.. but life goes on. A belief in this perpetuity might give a new more moral question to humanity in general and to astrophysics in particular. The question of what we want the universe to be rather than what Universe has in store for us..

By the way the CERN experiment is not about a perpetual universe, and certainly not about immortality. Its just gonna checkout the conditions immediately after big bang.. (if at all there was a bang)
