Last Stand

Forgive me this one time, this wont happen again
I wont let my thoughts run free, the way they would
I wont let my desires fuel, the way they once did
And then again, and then again

I wont dream of having your body in my arms, again
Your slender figure, your delicate curves, your smooth skin, your anxious moulds
I wont long to see the crystal gleam in your eyes
Your eyes............................
I wont dream of your moist lips on mine
The sweet summer taste of honey and lime
I wont ache to smell your bountiful tresses
Or stroke my crude hands over your tantalizing silken mane
The strands of strength will be mine no more
O, Where will I hide without the cosy shelter of your hair
I wont crave for your reassuring gentle touch
That still sends scintillating shivers down my spine

I wont…. Ask you to be my princess, my whore
My one, my only, my heart, my soul
I wont desire again to be your man
Your savior, your hero, your master, your owner
I wont ever again be your fortress against infiltrators
And the infiltrator of your fortress…

So please forgive me now, love
Forgive me this one time, for this wont happen again
Never again…..
……..but tonight.

Dedicated to my long forgotten love

An eventful Independence Day!

First of all, I’d like to wish Happy Independence Day to all my readers. Today was a day of a national reconciliation for me (like many other of my compatriots). Yet, the national experience of today has been different than previous ones, towards the worse. Although I am more aware about my country today than I was yesterday, I feel no prouder of my country. The feeling I have today is of disappointment (and not disillusionment, mind you). I still believe in my country and its potential to be the world’s finest, but today, I must criticize it for the state of affairs that pervade it. Incidentally, I watched the movie Peepli Live today, and it left me disappointed and depressed. I already know the current state of India, how it is soiled in corruption, red tape and dirty politics – what I didn’t learn is how can I make a difference… what I, the Common Man of India can do today to ensure a more prosperous tomorrow. The movie had plenty of Masala , its fair share of Profanities (were th...

The Coronation of Wazza

Caution: The f ollowing discussion is wrought for football (soccer?) fans, especially those in favor of a club by the name Manchester United. Viewer discretion recommended. A long ball was launched up to Rooney and he took it down with a great touch, turned, and with the Arsenal defense backing off, hit an unbeatable curling shot into the top corner to send Goodison wild. Everton had won, Arsenal’s unbeaten run was over, and Rooney had arrived. Always searching for the sound bite, commentator Clive Tyldesley exclaimed “ Remember the name: Wayne R ooney ! ” That was October2002 – he was only 16 then. Wayne Rooney signed for the Reds two seasons later after a staggering £27m tra nsfer. In September 2004 , he scored a hat trick on his United debut. He was only 18 then. Since then, he has scored some truly memorable goals for united including the scorcher volley against Newcastle , the chip against Portsmouth , the late, late winner against Milan . Besides, he has gone through thr...

Arguments Against the Zeitgeist Philosophy

The following is a letter addressed to the Zeitgeist Movement, pointing out some of its conceptual flaws and practical shortcomings this is not a challenge nor a debate, but a discussion. i am, in essence, in support of your ideals and your vision. but i find several practical difficulties in implementing your proposed system As a primer, i would like to state the two basic needs of man (animal): survival and procreation an advantage of the monetary system is, it empowers a person, in the sense it, largely, makes an individual responsible for his own survival. the need to earn money partly stems from the need to stay alive and "earn" his next meal or shelter, food, health, education. Also, it provides a competitive environment which helps people push their limits of competence and hence (largely) ensures personal growth. The monetary system is responsible for a reward/punishment form of positive/negative reinforcement to participants of the system, which eventually helps dire...
