eating, gnawing, gnashing, gnarling;
staring in your face and snarling.
harking, barking, whistling howling;
then saying "how are you darling?"
Oh yes, this is Hell.
Oh yes, you might as well;
Accept how deep you fell.
Welcome to Hell.
The fires never stop here
The pain is naked and bare
Where life flees for its life
running hither there.
Oh yes, this is Hell.
Oh yes, you might as well;
Accept how deep you fell.
My Hell. My Hell.

Emotional {what the .... }
There is nothing more I like than to relax listening to some saxophone on my music player and falling asleep listening to it.
For beginner's I recommend Greensleeves by Kenny G. Really. Awesome.
Entertainment is perhaps a must-have for the stressed out lifestyles people follow these days. Explains why there is such a cut-throat competition between channels with respect to the so-called TRP ratings. I never knew what TRP meant to be honest with you; it means Target Rating Point (read more here).
There are many examples of newer and (?)innovative programs now airing on the hundreds of channels we have. There are about 45 news channels, all showing the same shit 24/365; same terror attacks, rapes, molestation, wars, crime, corruption, disease, famine, hunger, death and other kind of which is just summed up earlier as 'shit'.
Don't take it the wrong way... I don't mean to undermine the suffering of people here. I am just saying that does it take SO MANY channels to say the same stuff over and over and over. The money wasted can go to SO MANY relief works. Can't we have a few channels ( I respect free press) only?
News is perhaps a bad example of ENTERTAINMENT. Has anyone seen Bindass Channels Emotional Atyachaar? For those who haven't see here. It's basically a program in which a boyfriend/girlfriend of a person want a 'loyalty test'.
So basically the channel bombards the other person with hot chicks and handsome hunks to test if they don't go astray. And when they do (of course) they show the intimate moments to the person who ordered the test. That person cries, curses, slaps the other person, basically showcases an obscene show of emotions. Which you would expect if the love of YOUR lie betrayed you with some gal/guy.
It's EMOTIONAL PORNOGRAPHY. Yeah you heard me correctly the first time.
Take a person, rip them apart, and lay their emotions bare for all the people to see for entertainment. Can anyone give me a better term for this obscenity?
Are we so done for that for our "entertainment" these days we need to see someones life being crushed, humiliated, hurt and abused?
Are we so untouched by someone's misery? Their tears, cries and screams are the fodder for our emotional deprivation?
Are we demons, tormentors or plain animals who thrive on the pain and suffering of others?
Is this the modern lifestyle? Work all day and unwind by watching someone's life getting screwed.
WOW.
I mean what are we trying to watch here?
Did you ever pause to think?
Or perhaps its too late for you.

The Thinking.
Rasna asked me to write this blog...
although it will be more of a mixture of THIS ONE and THIS ONE but anyway who cares? I think I'll put up all the thoughts I have in mind right now and just blitz away on my keyboard.
hmm ... let's see where to begin?
I'll begin right at the start when we framed our events. I remember that we could not come across any good names so we just named them on whatever first impression came to our minds.
For those who dont know/remember
eXplore was Pandubbi
Xplode was Minesweeper
TribotX was Tri Robotics
Xtension was TheBridge
8Mile was renamed Aath Meel
Xants was Cheenti
they were a few colorful ones called Chhapak and other well invented words of hindi language but our coordis were a little sceptical about them so...
I remember our meetings to come up with these events, and how EXACTLY Xtension was formed ( wink wink @ Saurya ) and how we formulated an Idea about Xants at 4 in the morning at Chhedis ( Mith Palkush and me ).
I remember our meetings that took place on vikramshila top because the AC wasn't running in TRS basement. I remember meetings with the coordis , the all important funda meeting that I fell asleep halfway through...
I remember our apprehensions about starting planning and executing a fest. Could we .... Can we... Will we ?
I remember meetings with the subheads both the heavy and the light ones.
I remember handpicking one of the best team of first years I have ever seen till date ( yes you guys were better than we were... )
I remember a LOT of meetings a LOT of planning a LOT of work.
It's a lot of work.
but in the end when it's over somehow the sleep you get is very rewarding. It feels as though you did your stuff. It's over. as Amal would say no more bakar.
I really want to do what our coordis had done in the last year. Take retirement completely... :P
but something somewhere there is this feeling. It's unexplicable, strenuous, and mystical.
It's something which binds me to this team and it's people. Something very powerful.
I know at times I yell at people. ok... not at times... all the time. but then again....
If you had that feeling, you'd know. Some would call it Obsession. I prefer to call it Dedication. Be dedicated. And be obsessively dedicated. Then ONLY do you get success. Call it a pursuit for perfection. Call it anything you want. Just get your work done.
The advantage of Obsession is that it asks us no success, it works up no Pride and it jilts up no ego.
Being a Head who managed the what is known as 'Roaming' works. I can tell you that it's a thankless job.
People don't take notice of things working smoothly. It's only the hiccups that reflect bad on you. Not that it's a bad thing. But Yeah expect no thanks.
Coz if you do ... well you're not gonna get it.
Dear new Heads,
Probably, it was pretty evident, That I was the one that took your case so much. Maybe thats just me. Maybe I care too much. Maybe. I care as long as you don't mess up the things we have here. You people should be capable and prepared to the last iota; is the only thing I want.
Dear members,
I really don't know why you are scared of me; Really..
I haven't done anything to you... I have done nothing to you...
Ask the new heads. You'll know.
And yeah.
Anytime you need Any help of any nature not necessarily related to Robotix I am here.

Just ping me when I'm not sleeping.
