"I didn't sign up for this !!! :-s "

Everyone faces this feeling at some point of time wrt everything in life, be in while in a relationship, in a job, after marriage, maybe in friendship also, when you moved into a new house recently, when you start learning something new, during your education ...every instance of life;
This is the first step and first sign of yet another compromise in life, huh!! life which is full of compromises ....
Now you must be asking, where this idiot is heading with such a pathetic start :) well saw Jodha Akbar yesterday, a 3 and 1/2 hr movie. A movie worth watching and definitely very good compared to the recent movies, and Rehman music was simply awesome yet again !!! I guess he made the maximum use of drums :) but the fight scenes could have been better, especially after seeing movies like 300 and Troy in English, the fights did disappoint me a little bit, but as I was mentioning life is full of compromises, Indian audience might not be ready for such a bloodshed considering the fact that the target audience is simply everyone. My overall rating would be around 3.5/5 and a worth watching movie.

Now I have a question, what would you do if you were the emperor of India ?? Forget about regular stupid answers like remove corruption and poverty and hunger and all, make it something innovative, something which people could only dream about, something appealing, would it be building Taj Mahal for your loved one ?? or a pyramid for yourself ? ...would it be building a whole city like Hyderabad or raise buildings like the Emirates Palace and host the worlds costliest horse race ??!!
would it be having all the greatest composers of the time in you palace or having a scripture written on you ;) !! ?? What would it be ??? what would you do for yourself if you are given all the power in the world to leave an everlasting mark behind you !!!



Remember that all great people are remembered only when they left something materialistic behind them to the world, many might differ, some might even go to the extent of mocking my judgement but it remains to be the truth. People remember Ashoka only as the king who planted trees along the roads but not for the peace he tried to restore in India, people remember xyz for Taj or Pyramids or ... blah blah but not for the immense wise decisions they made, how many King Solomon's do people remember ???


Gods greatest gift to humanity is forgetfulness, and it is also his greatest curse. Selective memory is a great gift if you have the control over what to remember :) .... People tend to forget the good done to them or the help they received, but develop hatred easily. Being an agnostic it might be strange to come from me, but if there is someone called God he could think of a secondary memory disk attached to our hearts ;)
Maybe the main memory can have an archive of the sad memories as a backup and the secondary disk in our hearts will have all the happy moments ... sounds nice right ;)



So so so ... to all the jobless patient people still reading this post and feeling "I didn't sign up for all this !!! :-s ", welcome to Saaketh's world of arbitrariness. You'll see many many more of these coming in future, so be prepared :)



Oh & yah, this one friend of mine lets call her D is coming back from US after a 1month trip and she is supposed to bring me lots and lots of chocolates, and a champagne bottle and then more chocolates :) and I think I have some nice occasions to celebrate in the next 2weeks, so lets see.

British Queen apologises to six-year-old girl
Do you think something like this could ever happen in India?? well actually I think India would very soon see one such day with the ever increasing percentage of well educated politicians in parliament. Forget about the political strength, but compare Mr. Manmohan 1v1 with any of his peers around the world, compare Kalam with his peers, it does make you proud in the end doesn't it :)
And I would say these are only the first of the many politicians to come in future who would infact be bold and strong enough to make even better decisions.

Having said all this nonsense I ask you to wait for the next post and I promise to make it interesting than this one !! :)


-Peace
