Martyrs of love.....BULLSHIT!!!!!

                                       A Common Thing For Cowards   
                                           "When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
                                           Out of the corner of my eye
                                          I turned to look but it was gone
                                         I cannot put my finger on it now
                                        The child is grown the dream is gone
                                       I have become comfortably numb".....
                                        -Pink Floyd(Song:-Comfortably Numb)

                 A boy returns home from school. He drops his bag, shoes, socks here and there and enters his room. An hour later his mother is perplexed as the apple of her eye has not consumed a morsel of food. She enters his room and finds him hanging from the ceiling. A note on the table claims, "The love of my life has been claimed by someone else.My life has no purpose."
                Nowadays every unrequited Romeo slits his wrist for the doe-eyed Juliet and vice versa. Every depressed characters knows not how to make amends to the source of his sorrow. He jumps straight to the conclusion. This is primarily seen among the adolescants who, with their new found sexual maturity, thinks they understand the meaning of love, sex and relationship. All they know is what pleases the eye. Love is much more than that. It is a bond where one party acts in accordance to the welfare of the other.  The true essence of love has been masked by pictures of two young people stealing kisses and  making love. Love for country, love for parents, love for animals, love for school all go out of the window.
So many individuals have fallen into the snares of delusion and have taken their own lives citing "love".They are not heroes, they are not martyrs , they are petty cowards who cant face reality that the other party don't find their ugly face appealing.
                                                  All this must have compelled you to think that I have never loved. Yes it is true. I have only had attractions and infatuations. I have only dreamt of satisfying my lust. I am cold hearted. But I believe my life has a value and is not to be  thrown away. If any girl dumps me for another guy, I would smirk and make myself a man that one day she will ever be sorry that she ever left me. I would humiliate the other.But I would never torment myself. When we commit suicide for one relationship,we immediately denote our ingratefulness towards our parents, friends, peers who expect so much from us.
                   To all these "martyrs and soon to be martyrs", I would like to dedicate a song:-"You give love a Bad name" By Bon Jovi.
Many of my friends are in a relationship. I can say that some will last forever but most will stay as long as a mirage.
Rudyard Kipling had said........
"If you can walk with Kings, nor lose the common touch
  If any man count with you, but none too much...........
..........................You will be a Man, my son"
So think twice before you ever try such a cowardly deed. Maybe 30 years later, you will be rich, married, successful and laugh it off, these days of emotional tumult. You shall say as Bryan Adams croons..."Those were the best days of my life".

Hypocrisy......a thing of the past, present and the future

 

The Horrific Napalm Attack

               They proclaimed they represented the free world. They fooled us. They represented Communism as a threat to world peace and harmony and potrayed themselves as heroes.They fooled us. By providing for Pakistan they displayed their affection for the world. They fooled us. While Pakistan clung at USA heartily, another Islamic state was being drained of their rich oil reserves. That state was Iraq. The Vietnam War is a classic example where North Vietnam was airstruck by Nixon just because they refused to accept few terms of the Paris Peace Accord. With the excuse of finding the guilt for the 9/11 they destroyed the lives of thousands of Muslims all over the world. After their release from the Guantanamo Bay they still struggle to find their place in the outside world. And we call such a country the Global leader.

                      The fault lies not with USA alone. Hypocrisy and corruption go hand in hand in politics and the normal world. A classic example would be of a school captain uttering noble words in his Oath Of Office and later going against the very same solemn words with his nefarious activities. Thus it is inherent in each one of us. But there are few who tend to tone down the hypocrite in them and go the right way. They become role models later. 

                                In the entertainment world the "friendships and marriages" are as volatile as staircases of sand.  This whole wide world is filled with men of the character of Macbeth. Nothing can be done about that. Pakistan say" We do not support terrorism". Yet that son of a gun Osama bin Laden was found in a tall building , relaxed on his couch, in Pakistan. The above statement was as absurd as Hugh Hefner proclaiming true love for one girl. Strange.

                             This does not mean that I am perfect. But who am I to judge myself. It is upto people who know me. Sometimes hypocrites do end up at the receiving end of a kick on their asses.

The pig head thrown at Luis Figo

The most significant example would be of a great Portugese player called Luis Figo. People were in awe of his charisma when he proclaimed his love for the fans of Barcelona at Nou Camp. Days later we find him in the jersey of Real Madrid, following his greed for money. In the El Classico that followed suit, the infuriated fans had humiliated him infront of the whole world by throwing the head of a dead pig at him. 

                                              This list can go on and on. Neither do I  want to act as any Redeemer nor do I expect any change. Thus Hypocrisy is here to stay. It has been seen in the past. Looking at people such as A.Raja, Suresh Kalmadi, Kanimozhi I say it is still a matter of the present. It shall continue in the near future as long as the human race survives in this Good Old Earth.
