A few things to consider!
This post is a collection of a few posts that I wanted to blog but actually forgot (thanks to alcohol and a peanut sized brain). As a result, there would be random gibberish that's strewn across the post.
It all starts with me sitting in the potty with the newspaper. Since I have moved into Hyderabad, I have been subjected to feasting my general knowledge with the help of 'Times of India'. I happen to read this paper because the week I moved into my new flat, a representative from the company came over asking if I wanted to subscribe the paper. When I was trying to shoo him off, he told me he would give me 6 months of copies for just 175 /-. Since it seemed like a good deal (I am a total sucker for offers), I bought the subscription. About 4 months into the subscription, I cant help but notice that the general knowledge cause is missing and I have ended up with is some crappy gossip of how celebrities breakup and then get back. To make matters worse, the quality of English used is so bad that I seriously think that the paper is written by sea urchins. There are so many errors made everyday that the supplementary copy has a permanent apology section for errors made in the previous copy. The most recent article that I remember is about the PM recovering from his illness and how the doctors advice him to take adequate rest. The paragraph starts with "The PM minister Manmohan Singh....". Now I begin to wonder what PM stands for? I used to love 'The Hindu' newspaper because the content and the language were so pure. But during my latest visit to Bangalore, when I saw a copy of that newspaper, I was in a state of shock. A newspaper that I used to admire has been reduced to the love toy of a 5 year old destitute child. It was just colourful and crappy.
If that wasn't bad enough, I keep a tab on the readers opinion section in 'Hyderabad Times'. Usually, I find this okay since they discuss about the issues affecting the city / state / nation. But then this one time before the US elections, there was this poll for who should win (Obama / McCain). All the people who were interviewed supported Obama for reasons I am pretty sure they had no idea about. It was just that his name was popular among the masses and everyone knew the name. Not like I follow politics (my political knowledge is as small as my lighter) but I knew for a fact that Obama was promising to fuck outsourcing during his campaign. I so wanted to catch hold of all the dimwits who spoke for him and tell them that he was planning to fuck their jobs. I am pretty sure they would have changed their favourites to be McCain.
The other thing I noticed about newspapers is that they refer to Obama as the BLACK president. As far as I know, black when used against human colour happens to be a racial slur. Yet, I notice the term being used in the newspaper as well as online news channel. It seems messed up and makes me quite uneasy whenever I happen to come accross it.
During my visit to Bangalore, I noticed the toothpaste to be herbal flavor. This got me wondering. Most of the products I see these days are using Ayurveda as the roots quoting that the predecessor products contained harmful chemicals which affect the mind, body and soul. I also read about Yoga in newspapers, magazines and other media stuff which portray a healthy life. As far as my knowledge goes, these concepts were found during the Vedic period which was like a few centuries ago. My only question is, "IF WE WERE PROPER CENTURIES AGO, WHO THE HELL FUCKED UP SO MONUMENTALLY?"

Moonspell
You're Moonspell! You have a very weird style of singing, but people are intrigued by you. Your music is like a drug, and everyone wants to buy it after they've tried it a few times. People can never get over how strange your music is, and that's why you're well liked.
