hoo..li..gans

Here goes one of the most confusing moments of my life. After breathing fresh oxygenated air into carbon di-oxide long enough I am proud to say that I still have not understood the basic building blocks of human psychology. This is possibly an understatement but true. Treading back to the crux of this ( remarkably baseless) post , I was thinking what wonders can even rash cacophony ( called remixes in the present world) play in those rat sized brains of people.

But before i write any further I have to introduce myself from a new angle. For those who are not aware, I am a frickin' music enthusiast. Having learnt classical for almost a decade ( no kidding) I ought to appreciate good music...ahem -highlight 'good music'. Serves as a manifestation to my acquaintance with music from various genres. I don't say I know them all but as weird as I am I have a fetish for good music. I know enough to differentiate between music and ear cracking noise.

Human psyche has degraded so much. I pity the people who are continuously subjected to such insipid misfortune , misnomered as music . Making my point even more clear - music is less about vocals and instruments and more about the DJs (drunk jockeys) . It does not require days to be spent in the R&D center to realize that what people say they groove to used to be some pristine song once upon a time, later on vandalized by evil forces on earth. Well they are not to be entirely blamed , are they?? They became what they are (mostly) after extensive failure in everything else. Its a universally accepted profession. Moreover , what is wrong in doing something as far as there is an inexplicably brought up , nonsensical bunch of people in the society who enjoy the all time classic musical abominations .

Well I am still confused..who is to be blamed?? The DJ who strives to earn money by doing the only thing he is probably good (or bad) at . Or is it the people who just need an excuse to show their skills in dancing or whatsoever . Either ways the person in question is motivated to do something novel for his own betterment (or pragmatically , his own fall ) .

What is even more flabbergasting ??? We have the honorable DJs gently poking their noses in ceremonies and joints which are aimed at proving their core traditional values ( goodness I can make sentences so complicated!!) . To exemplify the above statement , take for instance the garbha-dandiya sessions during navratri . Fortunately or unfortunately my house is very close to this gymkhana where the essence of navratri remains unforgotten and the spirits of the people sky high . Dandiya is a regular feature and there are chunks of people coming in to dance almost everyday for nine whole days . Well that is something to be proud about...but all the pride is simply torn apart when I hear and watch people dance on remix numbers from a few retarded bollywood movies . I look around and then I see the man in action , rolling and spinning ( or pretending to roll and spin) something . Bravo !!! Now that is called techno dandiya..daah!!

Well , my apologies to those who may not like the content of this post . The post is not written to derogate the capabilities of these people . It is just a testimony to those who think they are the ultimate creators of music , nothing short of hooligans .

With that note , lemme spin off . Will spin back again..( just tempted to use that word though it did not make any sense)

Ass to badass

I found this title apt for somebody like me. I dunno what the reason is. May be because I am way too taken away by the erotic glitterati that surrounds me..balderdash. Let us backtrack 'life and history of homo sapiens' which has traveled a loooooonng way . First the monkeys ,then neanderthals and then FINALLY monkeys again!! (humans or whatsoever they are called today). We are all a tribute to the lice picking creatures that dominated this planet a few million years ago and still do. Darwin's theory (the most non-sophisticated theory) may explain why we happen to be the strongest of all the living things but it is also the key to success for all the management and corporate brats that dictate our bank accounts. Re-live the moment fellas!!! Darwin's legacy continues. He is the reason to have influenced many big names we come across everyday. Machiavelli probably worshipped Darwin. But he was way too decent to use all the slang terms that have evolved in english just like humans. Restating what these big names wanted to convey- If you are not a F****** bad ass , you will not succeed.Being just an ass is like blind faith.Being decent is like kicking you own ass. So think of all the future aspects that you may behold before transcending in to a realm of goodness and benevolence.
