Satisfaction!!

Satisfied?

I know i am not but I know the only way to get satisfied is to follow the course that I feel will make me satisfied. However its also true that most probably i wont be, because whole of my life I'll be pushing my own horizons and looking upto newer modified goals.

Satisfaction is utopia, the dream we all strive to live. If I am satisfied with what I have I am good, and no money no success will be of any help and neither those things can make me jealous.
Oh! but we do experience pseudo-satisfaction. Its the satisfaction which we presume we will have after achieving something we wish to and we do experience that when we achieve it. But trying to answer the same(satisfied?) question sooner or later will give the same old answer.

But do I want to change, feel my thirst getting quenched?
I think I'll rather be happy dreaming and striving for the satisfied future rather than defying Darwin's theory of evolution. Yeah the life might well be hell but there will always be hope, hope for the future to be rosy. It might not be that way at all but you see I am not a pessimist :).

Anyways try asking me "satisfied ?" after my Sunday brunch and I'll definitely say "yes, yes ofcourse " ;)

Boring

The day i was offered RAship here in IITD i felt things are commin back on track and i thought i was happy. And for sometime i believed my thoughts. For things going so wrong and coming back to surprise is sweet and so fealt I. But life just laughs at your face and tells you "with all your supercomps, WMD, cloning et al its me who controls and not you".

So it is offical and blogger.com will certify
that i am bored n soooo bored that what i write is also boring
abe go away do somthin better :P

4400 X-Files and American Psyche

Go search USA (use search nt "go" )on Wikipedia what you'll get is USA 3000(airlines),USAE(US governing body of equestrian sport), some video game, shotgun but no mention of the country(i dint check the 2nd page but the relevancy was down to 60% so evenif its thr u realise how relevant it is).

Bluntly speaking americans don have any history of themselves and in the name of history what we get is American Revolution and Civil war. Its said History and myth are basic components which define the cultural genesis but its not religious its social.
As it is believed we human being subconciously need a notion that thers somthin somwhere unknown undiscovered and even the concept of GOD probably came from thr. Myth gives that support and we lean on it to act puppets for say GOD, and in return we gets to blame him for all things ever went wrong. What americans can call their own is from Red Indians but what myth even they r not part of main stream.

There is such a large section of society who migrated frm places like Mexico, Europe, Asia and all these brought their own culture and their own long history with them. So lack of the element of collective myth made everyone miss the coherence in the society n probably thats the reason its bit easy to settle there. I mean if society is not coherent it does not have rules n so next person goes there he does what he want to and lives the way he wants no one cares.

Anyways getting back to the topic, here we have Ramayana, Mahabharata etc while in name of myth what americans have to offer is probably LOTR which hardly is. So there was always a big lacuna needed to be filled and then entered the "west coast air raid"(see image) which was an unidentified flying object encounter and occurred on February 24, 1942. This incident in conjunction with other smaller ones and later media hype made UFOs more important discussion topic than even USSR. And time (both samay and magazine) and media ensured people have something which unlike myth is forward looking towards the future.

This has been good for them for it makes 50 states forget their dual citizenship at least on something, well apart from celebrities. Apparently UFOs dont adher to Television prime time and thus came 4400, X-Files and many more. They delved into it and the Americans loved them, hugged thm, kissed them. X-Files have almost every third episode whr somone is creating Fighter planes on "UFO technology" or else getting abducted and 4400 is all about ppl borrowed(abducted would be harst on them) and brought in time with special powers to makes things right(philanthropy alies style..lol).
X-Files made in hindi might never be accepted by indian audience, the few series which were made were mostly "for children", adult psychology just wont agree.
So if ur Ekta Kapoor thn what ur doing is just right keep making Saas hate her Bahu. And if u happen to be from US visa office u should know I love aliens (grim faced me) even my alter ego is named "Jadoo" get me a Green card n i'll get a big Dubya poster as well.

So after months of persuasion and contemplation me the one n only have finally joined the bandwagon and best part is i get to put the link with my signature. So if anyone really wants to bang my head on wall after readin plz go ahead and do so, just that the person shud not be me but sarat or raj.
Applyin Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to people's opinion thr must b some who might like it n in those cases well the comment link is always thr. Damn blogger for not puttin filter :X.... well i can see somthin as "moderate comment" so dammin cancelled(for now..lol).
I realy dont know blog is a great idea for me, some ppl might use it for puttin thins out some for abusing thm upfront n for me both r the most uphill tasks. Probably the only thing i might try is boring everyone with my crapy sense of humour. Wel some ppl had courage to tell tht to me some plannin to do tht with a spanner or a chainsaw. So bloggin actually looks like a good idea for me, maybe it can let me live longer.
Whn i was 4th grader my cousin (another 6th grader) who apparently read cairo looked into my palm n said

Cousin: well you might get a serious accident
Me: whn whn??
Cousin: Let me see(flippin his cairo n pullin my fingers down) hmmmm
Me: kya hua??
Cousin: I guess after 20
Me: u mean the day after my 20th b'day
Cousin: Arre nahin...
Me: so the day aftr tht
Cousin: no no + - 2-3 yrs

So probably tht "gandhinagar chainsaw massacre" which is supposed to be due
might not be due for long. Waise what i dint tell u all was tht he also told me tht i might evade it if i do some right things and now i know what he meant with tht, yes yes ur absolutly right "bloggin".
