…Clueless

I have just launched a brand new project. Something similar to the Dreams Database that was present on Tandem Felix.

Its called Surreal Stories. You go, register, post your dreams and other people post their thoughts.

Give it a whirl. I don’t dream. Seriously. And this site is just an attempt to peep into your mind. Please participate and spread the word.

Ummm… I guess something is wrong with me. I say something, people hear something else. Causing too many misunderstandings.
No one’s ready to listen to my side of the story. They just get angry.

Better go kill myself.

Sorry for all the confusion. You guys can ignore the previous clarification now. The rumours turned out to be true . I am quite surprised myself. The truth came out on the 21st of January.

If you can’t understand this post, ignore and go do your chores.

Yummy!

This is what I hear these days when I talk to my peers. Now you must be thinking how in the world is that possible? Does my ear decode the audio frequencies in some different way? No!

Don’t you get it, its just the accent. I still haven’t been able to find out from where do people these days pick up the British, American or even the Australian accent. I know for sure that they haven’t been abroad. Maybe they picked it up at the airport while simply interacting with some foreigner.

Come on! Big deal. You can’t speak in English fluently, you can’t pronounce some words correctly… big shit. You can still eat, breathe and shit. Yay! Why pretend? Why be a fake?

Why is everyone so obsessed with talking in English these days? OK, why is my blog not in Hindi? Ummm… don’t know! Back to the topic, why do people feel that they need to constantly blabber some words in a foreign language just to look hip? Does swearing in a foreign language not count as a swear? Is it somewhat more sophisticated to use the F word instead of BC or MC?

“Oh yes! Words like Fuck, Damn, Crap, Shit sound so ultra cool!! They make me look so chic. I easily blend in with the others. People want to talk to me then. If I talk in Hindi or if I abuse in Hindi or Punjabi, I’ll be treated like a outcast.”

Some of you may think I’m exaggerating. I’m not. I’ve seen people transform over the years, lose their own identity and individuality and turn into some sort of repulsive fakes. Just a few months ago, one of my friends left Chandigarh to study engineering in some different part of the country. He came back and there was a visible change. Some for the better but mainly for the worse. He too had turned into some sort of a fake. He kept telling me how he found Hindi movies and Hindi music so boring and that he would never touch anything except for English movies and music. It was amusing. I couldn’t laugh in his face but I chuckled inside. Here was a guy, standing in front of me, who a few months back would listen to the desiest punjabi tracks. And now, he pretended as if he’d heard nothing but Pink Floyd, Linkin Park etc. since birth. Wait a minute, Linkin Park didn’t even exist back then !

I switch on the TV and all I see are the celebs with their fake accents, the kids on reality shows with their fake hip attitudes. I go to a café or a restaurant and there they are again with their fake accents and fake attitudes. Or is it me? Maybe I am a low-life, a loser. What the fuck, I have the freedom to be me.

I am not saying that talking in English is bad. Its great. But pretending to be something or someone you aren’t is something I really don’t admire. Deep inside, everyone has the urge to shed that fake mask, the fake style and let loose, to just take their hands down and scratch their butts , to make mistakes and just not be the sophisticated, English blabbering freaks. But then, you got hundreds of wannabes who are willing to scratch your butt for you!! Way to go!

So Saddam Hussein is dead… hanged… executed.

I won’t say I’m happy. OK, the guy was a fuckin’ loser, a tyrant. But the manner in which he was executed, the haste that was shown by the authorities, the date of execution and the manner in which he was executed is definitely questionable.
