how many long summer afternoons have I lusted after you the gore the guts your blood my wine
your sweet lies a smile across my face
calling our twisted lives one your my panacea and I wish you death
how I long
to see your effigy amongst tangerine skies irradiated with my buring lust burning your life ash and carbon only to grow a new I wanna be me by being you
watching you as days pass voyeuristic heaven I see your insides and gasp in lust dirtier than you appear to be I lust after you even more for you I shall shed blood watching you I feel numb
your the sultry face of million twisted souls your beguiling bewitching voice your illuminatingly obscure face
feeding the appetites of the tenebrous mass your janus - peace and distress lusting to have you to kill me
I lust after your putrid lips I can't resist embrace me and let ur skin entwine my soft skin our rotting body needing to be with u
let our flesh entwine and merge let us lay here on our bed of maggots whisper close and bemuse me with yoursaccharine words and move closer too me I yearn to be with you to find me
I know u more and know u lesser still lusting after u spellbound by you scent I follow your calls to gorge out hopeful eyes peering at you ensnared by you i look for me
they revel at their genius seduced by 'progress' in serine slumber they awake only too late in time to gasp at their own machinations
their ideals never breath life never felt love or hate their ideals lively corpses in glass and formalin labeled for posterity and for dead ideals blood flows freely greed or righteousness they fight they seek to establish their order founded on dead ideals
some of them in dismay desperately seek a falling star to wish upon or borrow its light to see their dreams a valiant savior of many faces and names a single purpose to deliver them to paradise but most see their savior in 'heroes' no longer distinguishable from villains they once sought to slay and to them they hold their candles to them their heroes no different from villains
but for now they revel at their genius seduced by 'progress' in serine slumber they will awake only too late in time to gasp at their own machinations
my report on visages (st joseph college's cultural fest) that never got published the way i wanted it to cause i suck :(
Assignment deadlines, internals and the various pressures of college life were the last things on the minds of the students attending visages, the two day college cultural festival held on February 13 and 14. Over thirty colleges participated, show casing their talents in the twenty three events that made up the mammoth festival.
Karnataka Sahitya Academy award winner and well-known literary critic, T.P Ashok inaugurated the event.He said, “Culture means different forms of life. It is a very large world and people have different ways of life, various food habits and culture. We can’t say certain cultures are superior or certain kinds of culture are inferior.”
“Today St Joseph’s College has given the youth an opportunity to represent the different cultures of India, making this ‘Visages’ a cultural festival with a difference,” explained Dr Farial Shaik, the cultural co-coordinator.
Twelve events and several ice breaker sessions kept the participants occupied on the first day. Advertising campaign, western acoustics and laugh out loud were the most popular events of the day.
Advertising campaign challenged the participants to inform the audience about an important social issue without making it overly serious and devoid of humour. Issues like trafficking of women, transgender rights, etc were some of the issues raised by the participants. The team from St Joseph’s College won with their portrayal of the ‘forceful trafficking of women’.
Western acoustic was the name of the event, but participants performed a cappella versions of the western songs they chose. “Good old acoustics is any day better than a cappella, but sadly all the participants sang a cappella,” said Dr Berin Lukas the judge of the event. The girls from Mount Carmel College (MCC) won the event performing popular western songs like Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
Laugh out loud was both the last and most popular event of the day leaving the audience, ‘laughing out loud!’ The skit on ‘Pintu Mohan's life’, enacted by the team from St John’s medical college took home the first prize. Pintu Mohan is a fictional character created to parody people who are forced into studying medicine.
The last day of visages had eleven events and some more ice breaker sessions that made it just as interesting as day one. Western Solo, Songs of India, Personality and Dance of India were the events that received the maximum responses.
Western solo gave an opportunity to musically talented individuals to showcase their voice as well as their skill in an instrument of their choice. Steven Fernandes from St John’s Medical College won the event with his rendition of Bob Dylan’s famous number ‘blowing in the wind’. “I was actually supposed to sing a different song with my electric guitar but since it was not allowed I sang this song. I would like to thank the Josephites who ran around to find me an acoustic guitar.”
Songs of India called upon participants to perform regional songs which depicted the culture of India. Thatwa, a band from Christ University left the audience in awe with their harmonious blend of Indian classical vocals with western music. One performance was clearly not enough for the audience as they screamed, ‘once more!’ Manoj T P the vocalist of the band said, “We wanted to depict the culture of India in post modern times. Our Philosophy is to defeat negative western influences like capitalism using western ideas itself and that’s why we mixed Indian classical and rock music.”
However, it was the group from SJC that won first place with their rendition of a Manipuri song which also received much cheer.
The final Event of visages was dance of India, where the participating groups were required to depict Indian culture using the art of dance. Various regional dance forms like ‘tapang’ (street dance), Karnatic folk dances, etc, were performed by the participating colleges. St John’s College of nursing won the event, performing a Tamil Nadu folk dance.
“Visages was good as there were many new events which I never saw in other colleges. I also learn t new criteria of judging talent,” said Rosemary, a participant from St John’s College of Nursing.
Apart from the various regular events, ice breaker sessions like antakshari, Prof Xavier Prasad’s (department of social work) dance moves, etc added more life and enthusiasm to visages. Stalls offering food, mehindi, games, etc also catered to the needs of the participants. DJs Marshall and Vivian were at the heart of the festival’s success with their apt selection of music and clever one liners.

We give out roses in full bloom bouquets when what we really need is love more than roses
we give out roses, to make tomorrow better but how can we look at tomorrow when yesterday still haunts today?
we give out roses in the hope the thorns will get them good we scream as blood and chaos reigns the pious pray the weak cry the intelligent turn blind and everyone calls for a saviour we look to the heavens and call for a saviour but we all fail to see our saviour who is here
our saviour and destructor alike Born to us from sin from divine It holds the key to so much to so little
our benefactor our malefactor with iron hands with flesh heart It makes the world revolve and revolves around the world
It fights with one hand cleaving the world and with the other healing the gashes
In our human form we fuel its malfeasance boisterous laughter we are devils
In our human form we extend our hands shielding wounded righteous action we are gods
our saviour our destructor when will we see right in front of our eyes we still call out to the heavens when who can help us is here when who can destroy us is here
We give out roses in full bloom bouquets when what we really need is love more than roses
Wear a pair of stretchable jeans (the one with lyrca) that has an extra two inches to spare.
The extra two inches comes in handy when there is unforeseen development in the mid region!
Step – 2
Wear a useless belt manufactured by a reputed company to hold your dignity in place! (right)
Especially when you have other belts that do their job! (bottom)
The belt was useful at one point but for whatever reason the buckle decided to retire. The belt now tries its best to keep things in place but slowly gives up when it gains the confidence of the user. The slow motion tactic employed by the belt leaves the user unaware of the impending dangers ahead and hits him at the most inopportune times; like then the user is in a crowed space or surrounded with friends (worse if the friends are from the opposite sex).
Step – 3
Find an understanding female friend or classmate that makes use of small metallic contraptions to hold their lovely flowing locks in place.
Step – 4
Ask her for that metallic contraption (also known as a hair clip). Take two just in case! (only one hair pin remains the other one fell off!)
WARNING: Awkward conversation ahead!
Step – 5
Use the hair clips to fasten the belt as shown in the pic.
DONE!
Hopefully it won’t fall off (it worked for me!). My friend was kind enough to give me two hairpins but one of them fell off. Thankfully the other one held!
When the day was done i deduced that the hairpins were like friends, some say good bye when things get tough and others stick on even in the face of inevitable downfall!
This post is dedicated to the friend that gave me her hair clip. Thank you, you saved my iszat (dignity)! :-)
OH and the belt is not all that useless, it looks nice on Sonu :)
All this talk about pants reminds me of this youtube video :)

We had a human rights lecture in college. After which we had to write an assignment on any human rights issue. So this is what i wrote, decided to share it with ya....
Should a child be born into a world that does not want it? Can individuals be forced to care and love a child they did not want? The moral dimensions of abortion should be looked through this prism.
Most often pro-life movement activists over simplify the issue of abortion and equate it with murder. They say killing is wrong, and as abortion is termination of the foetus, it is wrong too. Which makes sense on some level I guess, but they fail to see the reason behind people going in for the procedure.
Most people agree that abortion should be granted on medical grounds (if the pregnancy affects the health of the expecting mother) and rape. Therefore I will move on to the more controversial reasons.
“Unwanted pregnancies” is by far the most hated and controversial term. A pregnancy is deemed as unwanted when the child’s health, physical or mental development is going to be abnormal or if it is a case of an accidental pregnancy. We can say that differently enabled people have the same right to life as us and selectively aborting foetuses for this reason is wrong. I agree whole heartily, but if the family does not want the child because they are ill equipped to fulfil their responsibilities, then it becomes morally wrong to deny the family an abortion. Accidental pregnancy is a different, it is an unplanned pregnancy. Abortions should be given in this case too as the person is not in a position to take care of the child. If it arises from outside marriage the child along with its mother will bear a social stigma for life. It may destroy the future of the mother and the child. When the child achieves a higher level of consciousness it will be put through an immeasurable amount of pain which can never, under any circumstance, lead to any good.
Some statistics:
The lowest abortion rate in the world is in Western Europe (12 per 1,000 women aged 15–44), 17 in Northern Europe and 21 in Northern America (Canada and the United States of America). The country with the lowest abortion rates is Belgium and the Netherlands with 7. Eastern Europe had the highest abortion rate 90, Asia is also has high abortion rates and other developing nations in general.
The places with the lowest abortion rates also have the most liberal laws when it comes to abortion. These countries also have better health care, sex education and rank among the highest in the human development index. Many countries in Eastern Europe are experiencing a decline in abortions after the relaxation of abortion laws, availability of better contraception and improvements in the education system. India and certain other countries like china have sex selective abortions which is a different issue that will take the devotion of another article so we will not be looking into that aspect.
The importance of a good environment to bring up our children cannot be overstated. The right environment determines the personality of the child. A bad environment will have negative effects on the development of the child. Can a person who does not want a child be capable of providing a good environment? Is it right to force a child on a person who does not want a child? Is it fair on the child?
Conceiving a child because of carelessness and miss judgement is one thing, but what happens when contraception fails? Where does the fault lye? It is a legitimate reason that is often over looked. Anti-abortionists say that people who are not ready to bear a child should not be having sex. The problem is we often forget or choose to deliberately overlook the fact that sex is as much for pleasure than recreation alone. We can never stop people from having sex for the purpose of pleasure. It is a natural instinct that we cannot get rid of. To bring about lower abortion rates we must tackle the root of the problem. We must bring in a more efficient education system, ensure the availability of contraceptives and bring about socio-economic development.
A lot of women who are unable to get abortions go in for crude methods of abortion like drinking turpentine, consulting various quacks, etc that only leads to the degradation of the woman’s health. What happens to the rights of women - Their right to life, health, dignity? Banning abortions does not in any way lower the abortion rates in anyways. A ban on abortions is not the solution to ensure lower abortion rates. Banning abortions is like putting on a blind fold and standing on the railways tracks in the way of an incoming train, with the illusion that, “if we can’t see it, it isn’t there!”

You guys must be wondering why the title is called random updates rather than weird updates. Well I changed it! Because I realised that the updates were not really weird, but they are random so from now on I'm gonna call it random updates.
Speaking of changing names, I saw Avatar in glorious 3D (the way it was meant to be seen) and it was awesome but more on that later! On the same day I met my former classmate who studied with me in the same class for 5 years. To my eternal shame I failed to recognise him. Before you guys think I am a horrible person, let me say that, firstly he was one among six or seven people whom I didn't know, secondly, he has changed physically, taller, better built, etc, thirdly, I was too busy feeling awkward to notice other people around me. In spite of all this I felt there was something familiar about him. It was only later when my friends told me it was him, that I realised and I immediately went up to him and apologised and asked how he was doing and stuff (see I'm a nice person too).
Going back to the name changing, couple of days later one of my friends told me that he changed his name. I think that was the reason why I failed to realise it was him. It even makes sense when you thing about it. They say ur name is your identity, if u change your name doesn't that automatically change your identity?!? Similarly, I was wondering, if I changed my name to let say Alexander would I become bold, charismatic and smart just like him? Or if I change my name to Johnny Depp would I be come the sexiest man alive of 2009? Or if I change my name to Obama would I be an over hyped fantasy change maker (come on he had it coming!)?
"You have to be more aggressive in life, sid" – a friend
Today at a supermarket near my home, I was patiently waiting in line to get my stuff billed when this guy came and stood at the side of the person who was in front of me. I was immediately suspicious. I had one eye on him and the other at the counter. As soon as the person in frount of me finished, he put his hand forward and gave his items to the guy in the counter. I felt like Caesar, being betrayed by Brutus. I couldn't take it -
I immediately told the store clerk (in a firm but polite manner) that I was in the line first! To which he said that he was only keeping his items because it was heavy and not going to bill it before me. (He was right, the man was carrying a 5 kg wheat bag)
That was definitely one of the most awkward situations of my life! I turned to the man next to me and blurted out an apology and said, "I have had a lot of bad experiences in this place, I'm really sorry sir". He just smiled and said it was ok. His facial expressions indicated that he was amused with my predicament!
Those who know me or those that claim to know me or those that know little of me, have two divergent views - 1. I'm very passive 2. I'm very argumentative and stubborn
The truth is, I am quiet passive and I sometimes feel it is my greatest weakness. So I try to be more aggressive at times. This doesn't work out because most of the time I will end up feeling guilty for being mean which triggers a barrage of sorry(s) on the already irritated individual.
Avatar
I loved it. I was actually rather skeptical about the film because I thought I was gonna be another heavy sfx but no substance film. I was proved wrong and I'm glad I went. The entire film is an allegory of the naïve American population vs its European invaders but with a happy ending of course that only cinema can give us. Being an Indian, the film reminded me of the problems my country faces, like the displacement of tribal and other depressed classes to accommodate the ever expanding industrial sectors. Development has always had a very lob sided meaning here. Industrialisation and development are synonyms, making other ideas of bringing about human welfare non-developmental and retrogressive. Tribal ways are often seen as backward and there is so much emphasis on "developing" them that we forget that people can be happy by living their life the way they see fit and not how we see fit.
GO WATCH THE MOVIE GUYS!!!
Back to college … :-(
College started today. :(
Oh and guess that our audio practical assignment for today was… an interview of one of the group members! guess what the topic of the interview is… come on… guess…. ABOUT BLOGGING AND MY BLOG!!! What the hell!!! My evil groupmates wanna embarrass me in front of the whole class! Will try to put it up if its possible!
Who are the guys?
I have been referring to 'you guys', and it hit me - there are no guys! I mean who reads this blog, no one! Which means if I'm referring to an invisible group of people, which in turns means, I have finally lost it, not that I had anything to lose in the first place! Though for the last couple of days I have been feeling like a crazy person.
Ken LEEEEE
