A million thoughts escape my mind but yet none spoken
As hard as i might try my closed lips just wont open
You are leaving me cos you feel I have changed
You cry that i am different and now with me you feel estranged.
I know not what will hold you back
For i know not why with me you set shack
I was dry, unfriendly , ugly and a jerk
But you soft, sweet and a beauty that made millions berserk
Yet you came to me and blushed that I am your match
Even as i said i am rock, you beautiful gold and I am afraid i will scratch
"The pungence is on the surface at heart you are honey,"
you said, "marry me for being together is our destiny.
I shall change you and make you all honey oh honey
in spite of the rudeness you are at times jovial and funny
I am sure those good things i can make stay for ever
am convinced once with me , all your bad from you will sever"
At your sight I was oh gal badly smitten
with the promise of a great new life i was into submission beaten
I took your hand for i felt the need
to become a better man , to make a tree of our just sown love seed
And now you leave me citing my change as the reason
Oh dear is this not with love playing treason
Honey you found in me and as a bee hovered around even whilst i was a bud
But now when with love when i blossom , you put me in the ground and crush me in the mud.

When I questioned Sri.David Godman as to whether all these realized beings are suffering from a syndrome, a disease that they think is the self and realization and if there really exists a god. He gave an interesting reply.
He said Bhagwan in general never spoke of god or realization all he said was, your understanding of who you are is incorrect, you are not what you think you are, for in deep sleep too you exists and yet this ego of yours is unaware of you.
Bhagwan said this true you can be found by practicing atma vichara. Thus there is no god or religion or self to be attained here. If you feel that there is something mysterious about you and the way you function then practice what Bhagwan said and get to know the true you.

Blogger is throwing the following error last few minutes, wateva blog on blogspot i try to reach. Interesting how even google can make such horrible errors. How does trying to reach http://badrinath.blogspot.com or any x.blogspot.com thru a browser in any way compare to an automated request from spammer.
Btw I tried accessing the site from 3 different browsers including the safari on my machine from which I have never visited anything google. So dont think the cookie is to blame.

Update : Man google sets a load of cookies in your browser, and yes deleting all of them still doesnt correct the above issue. Is it just me or is everyone facing the same problem.
The movie doesn't even deserve a review. All those morons out there who gave the movie 2.5 on 5 pls quit movie reviewing.
Even though I mentioned above that the movie doesn't deserve a review for the sake of being a good samaritan let me, through this post, warn all those who haven't watched the movie yet.
RACE has no story, mid way thru the movie making , the director got confused and just wanted to complete the 2.5 hrs he had planned to shoot before. I am convinced the director doesn't know what he is trying to convey. There is loads of Flesh and Bips has been generous, not to mention Katrina who continues to store her clothes in matchboxes. Some impossible stunts that would make a tollywood Balayya movie look good. I dint like the music much , the music directors have come to think that a disco number with some english lines in between hindi songs is a sure success formula and hence are refraining from experiment new tunes.
And yes the lyrics need special mention, "touch me touch me touch me , kiss me kiss me kiss me" sounds more like prostitution than romance. All the actors are miserable but Anil Kapoor and Sameera reddy deserve special mention. Anil kapoor should stop trying this hard. Sameera reddy - What is she trying - given her pathetic looks I would have happily discarded her as just another sidekick insignificant, had she not tried to venture into comedy. I wouldn't be surprised if RACE won the oscar for the best comedy.
Finally - I am not sure why RACE is not racing out of the theatres its Horrible.

Although I have tasted alcohol in small quantities (very small quantities) in the past I have never gone to a pub or bar before with the intention of gulping alcohol.
Visited Club8 at Hyderabad Yesterday with 6 other friends and the moment we were seated I decided that I wanted to get knocked out , hung over or hammered or wateva. Thanks to my company (guys whose veins were filled with alcohol instead of blood) I gulped 1 L of Royal Challenge, 0.5 L fosters and 150ml red wine.(Not bad for a first timer right!!! and yes did I mention I drank a 0.5L tinny later at home). Here are things I got to know/learn from this experience
i) Beer tastes yuck , how much ever you drink and how much ever you eat on the side.
ii) Good wine is very powerful even if its a so called Ladies Drink.
iii) 2 L of beer and 150 ml of wine , does nothing more than blur the mind a bit, I was still able to calculate how much each of us had to contribute towards the bill, Close my eyes and chant/meditate, think of what i had to do tomorrow etc and oh ya I even found out that I had tipped the waiter Rs.500 instead of the planned Rs.50 and hence called him back and undid the mistake ;-)
iv) Nothing unites people like bad habits, if you smoke, u have a circle around you and drinks bring people even closer.
v) The effect Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu bring on with their sleazy numbers in Race is easily undone by beer (Sure beer kills troubles ;-))
vi) My teeth which is due for a root canal for god knows how long, hurt in spite of all the alcohol, alcohols doesn't really cure all problems.
vii)Alcohol makes me feel weak, reduces my reaction time, makes me blabber a lot and gives me a bad headache in the morning.
One more thing, although not directly in connection with Alcohol.
Why do these idiots at Club8 insist on playing deafening music,(rather noise). We (my pals and me) werent even able to discuss on what to order and 2 out of 3 times the waiters werent able to hear what we were ordering.
In spite of the fact that we were the only customers there and customer is supposed to be the boss , the stupid DJ insisted on not reducing the volume (he was drunk big time).
And hey one more thing i noticed, nothing makes more money than making people feel bitter.
UB makes a bomb selling yucky tasting beer and Ekta makes a bomb making people cry . ;-)

P.S : I am sober now , at least i believe i am
NEWS :
Tamil actor Raghuvaran passes away
Veteran actor Raghuvaran passed away in a hospital in Chennai on Wednesday morning following a brief illness. Raghuvaran, 60, is survived by his ex-wife and son. Raghuvaran was married to actress Rohini.
---------------------------------
RESPONSE:
Feel sad, was a big fan of his , used to do mimicry of his when i was in class 10th . Used to go around saying "bomb vechiruven bomb" . The very thought of Rohini reminds me of "Aasa adhikkam vechchi" song from one of the movies she acted in. I have heard rumours that she corrected Raghuvaran from his bad ways. Wateva be it he was a good villain and one star i Liked.
Rest in Peace - Raghuvaran!!!
