The City

I live in a city where playgrounds are built under the summer sun while Banks enjoy the shade.

Where cars are double-lane and a narrow sidewalk for pedestrians.

Where you are a number who pays taxes and a zero when your voice rises.

Where cameras monitor the innocent while criminals manage them.

Where you feel yourself a piece of food digested by the twisted stomach of the streets.

Where the shouts of the street come into your home and the voices of the neighbors whispers in your ear.

I live in a city with so many corrupt politicians that we prefer to believe them honest cause not enough cells could host them.

Where they should dedicate a street to bribery, and an avenue to nepotism.

It lives, in every city, everywhere.

Pope Benedict XVI Scenario a doubt in faith or an improvement.....

Recently news of The Pope resigning is everywhere. And  it seems if your a christian you need to have an opinion on the Topic. I mean its a decision which he seemed to have made in good intentions....... or maybe there is a deeper story. But another question in many peoples mind "How can we have faith in the Roman Catholic religion?"       I don`t feel this is a reason one looses faith in the religion. Cause if you have Faith you do not have to depend on the superficial stuff.  Came across a book which puts things into perceptive.  "The Bad Popes   is a 1969 by  E. R. Chamberlin  "  documenting the lives of eight of the most controversial   popes   (papal years in parentheses): Pope Stephen VI  (896–897), who had his predecessor  Pope Formosus   exhumed, tried, de-fingered , briefly reburied, and thrown in the  Tiber . Pope John XII  (955–964), who...

Latest styles....

I`m studying in Don Bosco College and we share the premises with the Don Bosco all boys school. That's why I have lots of time to observe the behaviour of the male animal. They are a mighty weird species when they are young. At times they do grow up to be human, but most grow up with some issue or the other. Anyway, yesterday I saw a group of boys with their hair oiled till I felt I could see it dripping down.(oh and they try to pass it off as gel). Just add a little heat to their heads and you could very easily be able to fry omelets. Then there is the limp they all seemed to have. (again they try to pass it off as style ). I find it hard to believe that all their left legs are shorter than their right (I`m sure that it wasn`t a requirement when they were admitted!)I have this irresistible urge to add a little height to the sole of one of their shoes just to see them topple when they can`t balance. So you get why I call them animals they can`t walk, dress or even talk properly(the...

Don - Back with a bang!

Well as I have resolved I am back to stay, so to speak. I saw DON, the movie yesterday. And I must say Shahrukh Khan is back with a bang. Don't get me wrong, he is one of my favorite Hindi actors but recently the soapy romantic movies he had been making, (where he seemed to overdo almost every scene), were a pain to watch. Well that wasn't as issue here b'cos the DON was supposed to make each scene his own. And it made me realise that it wasn't him I was bored with, it was the romantic films he had been doing consecutively that were irritating me. I mean a guy like the great Don makes my knees go weak. Just the idea of him knowing everything and making the world his own playground was fascinating to watch. There was a car chase sequence in some narrow roads which was fantastic. There are loads of movies (both Hindi and English) with car chases on narrow roads but these roads were not just narrow, they were filled with activity and looked like very realistic Goan roads...
