Useless Musings

These days whenever anyone asks me as to how life’s been treating me (just the exchange of pleasentaries u see), I talk only about my work. Ive been noticing this for quiet some time now. Its like, my work, my job has become a central part of my very existence. No, Im not complaining. Instead, I feel lucky I atleast have something in my life to get a grip onto, if something (GOD FORBID) goes wrong. Yes, I do often crib abt having met hopeless morons n all the shouting n yelling by bosses n others, but I was just wondering, how would it be if I dint have this job in the first place? Would I be the same person? Would ppl have treated me the way they’ve been doing all these days? Would I have the same share of problems? Would it have had any kinda effect in my dignity & self-confidence? How would that have influenced my way of thinking, my persona or my perceptions?? The answer to all this, on a very quick glance, would seem a mighty YES. But then, the thoughts are so damn lame n subjective that, by the time I get the answers to such questions, I’d have had blisters in my brain!

A much simpler explanation to all these useless musings is that I’m wasting my as well as others’ precious, precious time! Or shall I say, just one of those days of introspection?

Why Why Why Why Why

Why should I have a thoroughly fucked up day atleast 8 times in a week? N why on earth should that happen so very often? Why am I surrounded by all hopeless and useless morons? I just feel like socking their faces up and walk out with their brains in my hand…..

Mush n Blush

Alrite alrite… Gotta admit. No matter how much I deny it, sometimes mush does work for me. Thats when I go FLUTTER FLUTTER, BLUSH BLUSH, ALL STARRY EYED & I just cant stop smiling!!! DAMN DAMN……..

Also, I can keep listening to this song forever!!!

PS:WARNING: I do NOT take any responsibility for the title of this post sounding almost like apna baajuwala (MUSHARRAF) n our very own firangi prez (G BUSH)

I want……

I want this tattooed on my arms:

Calling Megadeth

Saying my most sincerest prayers! I want this to happen. If this happens, I wont ever ask for anything else (as my birthday gift)…. Please Lord, Oh PLEASE LET MY BOSS APPROVE MY LEAVE!!!!

My maid said some builder who was to reconstruct buildings in her area has duped some very naive n innocent ppl off their flats. Has happened to a family member too.. That was 7 years back n in Kandivli. There’s nothing I can do here, coz ppl are getting cheated all throughout in most ways possible. I feel so stupid, I cant even gather enough words to write…… Here’s Megadeth for me:

Rise so high, yet so far to fall.
A plan of dignity and balance for all.
Political breakthrough, euphorias high.
More borrowed money, more borrowed time.
Backed in a corner, caught up in the race.
Means to an end ended in disgrace.
Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase.

/chorus/
Foreclosure of a dream,
Those visions never seen,
Until all is lost,
Personal holocaust.
Foreclosure of a dream.

Barren land that once filled a need,
Are worthless now, dead without a deed.
Slipping away from an iron grip,
Natures scales are forced to tip,
The heartland cries, loss of all pride.
To leave aint believing, so try and be tried.
Insufficient funds, insanity and suicide.

/chorus/

Now with new hope some will be proud.
This is no hoax, no one pushed out.
Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer.
Break new ground of a new frontier.
New ideas will surely get by.
No deed, or dividend. some may ask why?
Youll find the solution, the answers in the sky.

Rise so high, yet so far to fall.
A plan of dignity and balance for all.
Political breakthrough, euphorias high.
More borrowed money, more borrowed time.

/chorus/

Holocaust

PS: I dont have a title to this post, coz I cudnt think of anything….

This happens yet again!

Was cursing myself coz I’d accidently deleted Pink Floyd songs (the entire folder) from my cell… Unwillingly, I tuned into a FM station and guess what… Like someone from the station heard me or something, they played “Coming back to life”… This has happened with me once before. Was in the Levis store in Khar and the moment I stepped in, it started “Where were you…..”!!! Am I blessed or wotttt……

It will happen… It will not happen

No, Im not killing a rose by ripping off its petals wishing something… Im thinking about our MORAL POLICE. Im surprised the HOLIER-THAN-THOU-SELF-PROCLAIMED-GUARDIANS (COUGH COUGH COUGH) are not out on the roads vandalising shops n property saying V day aint our culture… Our culture (MORE COUGH MORE COUGH) is to rape, molest, kill, etc…..

That time of the year again…

Its V-day time of the year again! Yeeeiiiyyyyyyyeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!! Archies, Shoppers Stop, Westside, R Mall, Lifestyle, this mall n that mall screaming from roof tops abt the special gifts for our OH-SO-LOVED-ONES… Crowded? U bet honey! I have a doubt. What do sales ppl mean when they say SALE? I saw some stuff in Lifestyle that said “Pick me, my price is off by 10%”…. “20%”……. “50%”…. Does it mean first they will increase the original price by around 300%-400 % and then stick a tag “10% off”?? Smart na! Amazing ways being invented to fleece anyone n everyone!!!

BTW, had a major tiff with the store manager of Lifestyle in Mulund last week. More on that later.

PS: Saw a BIGSHOT (very famous man in India) in the Bombay airport. What hit me was his huge tummy! I cud see my fellow men/women’s money, that he too FLEECES in the name of TAXES, floating in his stomach!

Maiden Mania & Us the Maniacs..

I cribbed abt the Alchemist raag being untrue. But its kinda true! Coz I could attend the gig and what an electrifying performance it was!!!

Reached the venue by 4. Unlike the Bangalore grounds where there was already a sea of black t-shirts waiting at the venue before us, here the number was safely less than half… Seriously, what kinda music does Bombay listen to?????  The first act came on stage at around 5…

Nervereck: Ok, this one was a Chennai based band n they put up a cool performance. In fact, their bassist was good. This band was definitely a million times better than a band called FTN that got to open for the Maidens in Bangalore. FTN…. LOL….

Parikrama: These guys are veterans and professionals. I will say no more. Next act… Lauren Harris

Lauren Harris: She’s pretty, looks hot infact n she’s Steve Harris’ daughter. She’s trying real hard to make a career in the field of music with the help of her very famous father, but I think she’ll make millions as a model n not as a singer. Coz she sings like a lame duck n her band?? MY GAWWD!!! All she did was run around the stage and the crowd was busy laughing n booing… There’s this guitarist in her band who thinks he’s Zack Wylde. But thats about it. He cannot play like Zack. This painful band lasted on the stage with their painful music for abt half an hour. 

IRON MAIDEN: Well what should I say, for the crowds that these guys are used to playing in front of, the 15000 odd crowd must have felt like a gathering of friends in a pub. They started off with Aces High and boy, we went beserrrrrrrkkkk!!!!!!!! Next was Wasted Years, Two Minutes to Midnight, The Trooper, Fear of the Dark, Run to the Hills, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Revelations, Number of the Beast, Heaven can Wait, Can I play with Madness, PowerSlave (MY ALL TIME FAV), Moonchild, Clairvoyant and Hallowed be Thy Name. The background changed almost for every song and then came Eddie…. Wowww, man, I can never forget the way he moved around the stage with a gun in hand n Bruce screaming in the background “Eddie wants u Bombayyyyyyyy”….. Bruce Almighty thundered “SCRRRRRRRRRREAAAAMMMMMM for me Bombayyyyyy” and we sure did!!!

There were a few hitches too… Like the MMRDA ground in itself… Fuckall, bloody the ground is… Extremely dusty n horrendous! The sound systems could have been much much better… Couldnt listen properly to some solos played by Dave. In fact, at one point, when Bruce was addressing us, the mike went kaput for a good 2 seconds… What shame! Also, Bruce was asking us why the name Bombay was changed to Mumbai… But nonetheless, a welcome break for me n I did enjoy it thoroughly. So what if I’ve lost my voice by singing on top of my lungs!
