Fatal Flaw

Hamlet had a fatal flaw in his character. That is wat lead to his murder. To be or not to be..etc etc. The point is, that way im the next candidate for murder. I'm talking about indecisiveness.
I suffer from this fatal flaw. I mean, I can't even decide wat flavour of icecream to buy.
So I can't decide what to do in life. The topic is taboo in my house. Hence i just fade into the background whenever the topic comes up.
Diwali party.. pretty much as I expected..Some unexpected but pleasant interludes.
It's halloween. My time of the year. I wanna be a Wiccan. Now my attention span is over.
I have nothing more to say. Au revoir.........

Sympathy For The Devil

Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

These lines have been in my head all day long. I love these days. It's a new phase.. new friends, new other stuff!
Does anybody know Annie Lennox?? The OST of Bram Stoker's Dracula is by her. It's called Lovesong for a vampire....
Volleyball match today.. our house won!! I was in the team. Thts not 2 say i did anything. I jus stood there and messed up all my serves. Some ppl are so good at these things. I feel increasingly tht I am not built for the rough life. Gimme a spelling bee anyday..
Diwali party 2moro.. We're all supposed to get sumthin to eat..in bulk. What do i get?? Idlis??
They'll throw me out.
I hate the weather. Assaulting the skin everyday. I aint even got anythin much to boast of.
This is all so shallow. Who really cares ??
Have you heard of Sgt Pepper's lonely hearts club? It's an album by the beatles. For some reason the phrase attracts me.
I'm in love with latin phrases. I love their feel. Like" Ave Caesar Nos Morituri Te Salutamus"
Or " De Profundis Clamo Ad Te Domine"..
The latter is from the bible. It figures in the "Sixth Sense". A dead priest teaches it to tht kid. It means- Out of the Depths have I cried unto you O Lord............

Of Indians And Dirty Dancing

Really dis navratri thing is getting my goat. Suddenly dandiya turns into dirty dancing?? It was cute when Patrick Swayze did it, but not grossly overweight aunties in shiny sarees! Complete with lascivious expressions and all...I'm traumatised, scarred for life.
So Bobby Jindal is governor of Louisiana. And everyone here is celebrating it. Son of the soil, our own man etc etc. Get real. This guy changed his name from Piyush to Bobby after a character in the brady bunch. Not exactly Indian, is it? It was the same with Sunita Williams. All these people are american citizens. I dunno why we're hero worshipping them

Familiar Faces

I was on youtube an i jus ran a random search on rajhans( dont ask why).. and i came up wid this video called" Last Day of UR skool". So its a video by my seniors and its filmed in a rajhans classroom. I was thinkin how familiar the class luks and then hey presto! It strikes me! It's our class( atleast i think soo) The video sux as far as quality goes. And it also has Kal Ho Na Ho soundtracks. The total effect is very depressing.
First night of Dandiya.. Phenomenal bore! Felt so out of place. I found my face frozen between a smirk and a grimace. Aaarrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh! Bottomline is i dunno wat i was doin dere.
Enough of cribbing.. Tho deres lots more 2 crib about
Am reading dis book called The Innocent Man by John Grisham. It's supposed to be based on fact. But it's so unbelievable. Lotsa innocent guys getting convicted and sentenced to death based on minimal to nil evidence. Totally beats the crap out of the" America is so gr8" myth.
By the way, India's record aint so clean either. Only dif is most undertrials die waitin for their trials in prison.. so we never hear of wrongful convictions. How can we when it never gets that far??
