i'm not going to obsess over who wishes me tomorrow and who forgets.(yeah i know i'm doing it one day before the actual BIRTH day).
my dad's here for my 21st.. my best friend's missing classes and his girlfriend to be with me 'cos it's really hard for me to deal with the balloons and the confetti..(yeah crap!).. some idiot actually wished me today.. my family's throwing me a "surprise" karaoke party.. my friends are doing this midnight dinner thing.. yeah chocolate cake can make up for just about everything.. it's purely hormonal..
i have to make peace with the fact that i'm never going to be a female irfan or a maria ... or a yelena... someone told me there's no famous female sculptor.. now if u're actually gonna research this and tell me that some woman already holds the distinction.. i'm getting someone to murder you and trust me, it's gonna be slow and painful...
how can all of you be so happy on your birthday?? don't u ever take the time to look at your worthless life and feel miserable about it?
'cos all i can think of in the entire week leading up to my birthday is about all the could-have-beens and the should-have-beens and it's just distressing to live with the what-is.
if only i could turn back time..
or if only it's miraculously september 2nd tomorrow...
bloody illusory shit.. bloody ambitions.. absolute ignis fatuus..
if you really wanna make my day.. don't wish me.
i'm not using reverse psychology.. i mean it.. don't mail me, don't call me, don't text me.. this is my desperate attempt to make sure i'm not disappointed tomorrow when i don't get calls from the people i so desperately want atleast a phone call from..
god birthdays suck.. they do this to me..

The Search for Men/Women of Honour
"If you think you are beaten even before the battle begins, chances are you can never win."
Do you know YUVA was a true story of a guy called George Reddy from Osmania University? Lecturers were afraid to teach because they weren't confident they could answer his questions, he was outstanding. Apart form being academically brilliant he was a prominent student leader and everyone was sure he would win a seat in the assembly. George Reddy fought against the politically powered devils & bureaucrats, to every one’s shock George Reddy was killed by ABVP activists (another student group and inner organization of BJP). This happened around mid 80’s. Students who were all educated in and around Osmania University limits know about the war of George Reddy. We lost a great student leader, whose dream did not come true until this day.
Many Indians seem to firmly believe that it is impossible to change our society, but we can't allow the fear of failure or persecution to prevent us from trying to do something we know needs to be done. We would never do anything in life if we feared failure, it didn't stop our forefathers from fighting for our freedom though many were killed in the process (It doesn't stop me from lighting the stove even though I hear about gas cylinder explosions) . Just imagine what would have happened if people like Gandhiji,Abraham Lincoln, Neslon Mandela, etc. never existed or worse they never ever tried to do something for their Countries. And these were ordinary men to begin with but made extra-ordinary contribution to world history.
In our present day we have people like George Reddy, S.K.Dubey (who sent a letter to PM about a scam and he got killed later on) who tried to bring about some change in our society but couldn't, is it because they were individual attempts and may have lacked proper support and organization after all Gandhiji wasn't alone when he peformed Satyagraha.
"The thing with HISTORY is you never know when you are making it or being part of it."
In India you can say there are about 10-20% of the people who are the oppressors, the guys with the power and who misuse it and the rest I believe are just victims at some point or the other. And though the victims out number the oppressors we lack the unity and the courage to stand firmly behind the guy who atleast dares to stand up against these oppressors. Once the guy who dares to stand up is taken out of the way the whole movement seems to die. Everyone gets back to their normal lives and they seem to be content with the way things are rather than trying to make things better. You see movies like YUVA which were supposed to encourage the
youth to get into politics to help our country, but then just as the posters come off people seem to forget all about the message. I would go something beyond YUVA and not limit myself to just 3 people, I would say form a party with all honest, sincere, intelligent people, young or old and if they can come to power don't you think things would change? Is it difficult to find these honorable men/women from the 800 million victims of the system?
Unless we put up an Ad in the Classifieds "Required Men/Women of Honour to lead our country",It seems difficult to bring these men out from the crowd and also make stay united. But when the american youth who are considered cultureless and with loose morals can cause a major havoc during the Vietnam war by rebelling against their government can't we, the more refined and cultured Indians help find these Honourable Men/Women and lead our country towards a better tomorrow.

Copypasted this from somewhere on the internet.
Gave me a lot to think about.
This Independence Day, maybe we can decide to be the honourable "men" and lead our country towards a better tomorrow.
I can't use this on-screen keyboard anymore.
Time
to
think
about
what
YOU
can
do
for
yor
country.
Have a contemplative weekend!!
