Flavour of the quarter

My customary three month crushes are well known to all my friends. They are fully aware of my weird 'flavour of the quarter' syndrome & are more often than not, ready to indulge my weirdness. There is however a strict pattern that I adhere to - It is always a one sided crush. :) Hence, as I smoothly transition from one to the other, they all end on a happy note.

This latest crush of mine however, ended on a sad note when I decided to watch Phoonk 2. How I wish to go back in time and edit my lapse of judgment! My instincts were alerted when I first found that Phoonk 2 had the same cast as the last one. Something screamed on the lines of "people needing to learn from past mistakes". However, I decided to ignore the warning signs and decided to endure the movie, come what may.

After a mind-numbingly boring first half hour, I went to sleep for the next half. On waking up, I was forced to deal with the reality that my crush had worn off :( After being thoroughly exorcised of my latest 'intellectual engagement', I came to the following conclusions -

1. You can never truly understand what motivates men.
2. Most men never learn from their past mistakes.
3. Most women love to cry on a man's shoulder to enforce their own sense of fragility.
4. Most women hate to help themselves.
5. Most women love to assign all 'corrective responsibilities' to men irrespective of the man's capabilities.
6. Atheist or not, most men just suck at choosing good homes for themselves or their families.

Indulge me if I am wrong.

The 'Sparsh' Sparks

Haven't found any news worth pondering about lately.

From the unabashed uncouthness of the "People's Representatives" of the country, to the victimization of innocents, the death of unsuspecting & ill-equipped jawans who die protecting the political fat asses (pun intended), to the marriage between two religious and professional heretics, it all seems so mundane these days.

I laughed in the face of a friend once on hearing a happenstance called the end-of-the-world. As on this date I find myself looking forward to such a proposition. I have held no illusions in my mind for a long time now. Yet, always held on to hope. I no longer wish to read the newspapers these days & dread watching the news. One embodies negativity and the other lacks credibility.

My friends suggested some hardcore partying to get me off the pits. My family suggested some spiritual rejuvenation (I praised the lord they hadn't suggested marriage). Just when I thought that conscious human thought has reached a point of 'no recovery', Sparsh happened. Winning or losing is not key here. What is important is that the 'underdogs' have spoken. Even if you do not 'go change the world', I wish 'more power to you'.
