I am bach

After so many months of procrastination, revitalizing this blog of mine which nobody else reads! Exactly this is why I can blog away my random thoughts.

One Idea

I was reading an article today which talks about what a great move it was to bring democracy to this country. Giving the right to vote to the masses who were different in every way different from each other was a monuental effort, wasn't it?

I beg to differ.

I believe people should "earn" the right to vote and reaching the age of 18 shouldn't be the only criteria. There should be a comprehensive screening mechanism to find out the people who would vote for an idea or principle and not biriyani and desi tharra

Am I advocating inequality? I don't know. I don't care. I know I am advocating merit. That's what the country needs the most now.

Relay Shun Ships

Are they overhyped?

Are they merely viral behaviour?

Or tools to echo someone's ego?

Hullabaloo

These days the media has so much to chew on! From Amjad Ali Khan's broken sarod to Rakhi Sawant's latest music video. Gone are the days when I used to wait all week for "The World this Week". Now it's all about pseudo intellectuals who are too busy trying to blow up every triviality. Some how I hated watching Amjad Ali Khan's interviews on TV where he laments over his sarod. While this might help to keep hopeless entities like Air India on the alert, on the other hand, it looks like too much of footage to an accident.
Damn! I am not sure whether to hate the coverage or to like it.
On a side note: Currently reading John Irving's The Imaginary Girlfriend. Loving every bit of it. Contrary to what the title suggests, it's about his experience at being mediocre at what he loved the most - wrestling. I can connect with every thought pattern of his. Being a good-for-nothing at even the things I love, I find his attitude as a guiding light!
Looking forward to reading yet another Nrisimha Prasad after this one.
Oh and yes, to hell with purists - Sherlock Holmes is not that bad.
