Thank you

I was awaken

So now I'm taking
I'm taking
I#m taking a shot at life once more

Oh! How I miss you

I dreamt of you last night.

It was the type of dream where things don’t seem to happen, you seem to just know that they have.

I arrived at a party that we’d both planned on attending, the location of the party seemed to be a kind of industrial building with the back wall decorated as a cave. I came out onto a balcony looking over the party to see you sitting there, wearing that short black dress you bought that night we drank too much wine before you forced me to come shopping with you.

But you weren’t happy. You were on the phone. I never knew for sure, but it seemed to be your now pal whom I not-so-affectionately always referred to as Ringo.

It seemed as though we’d been planning on getting together for this party for a long time, but once you got there Ringo harassed you by phone… I came over to you and offered you my hand, you took it and stood up, putting your head on my shoulder, sobbing gently as he continued berating you with his overbearing jealousy over the phone.

Aside from almost making me cry, holding you there like that made me wish that my sole purpose in life could simply be giving girls like you hugs in times of need and crisis. I always seem to want to give you a hug anyway and this time it was so urgent it broke my heart.

He hung up on you and you looked up at me, with your head pressed against my chest. I wiped the tears from below your eyes and made a soft shushing sound in your ear.

Though you didn’t say it, your eyes seemed to tell me that he was forcing you to choose between him or me. I love you more than anything and it broke me, even in a dream, to tell you to go to him if that’s what you needed to do.

You kissed me on the cheek, then softly on the lips and left the party.

It was a bittersweet dream.

When I woke up the ext morning on a matress in my frat house, I felt sad, devastated, as though it were real.

Maybe it will be.

But I hope not.

Life's a Bitch

Why did she keep calling me yesterday, and texting when really and truly shes told me how she feels, why cant she just for the sake of it, let me go?

I said to her well that's how you feel, then that's it. She came back for more. She instantly came on facebook having a go at me, and then she was saying loads of crap about ''What Lies and bullshit'' etc. and "I said ''Did I ever Mean Anything To You"

"You Did But I've Given That Second Thoughts**"
"Why?"
"Because Of the way you are."
"This Has Gone ON LONG Enough I Am NOT A Mean Person But You really Are beginning to irritate me."I don't like you THAT Way"

"Fair Enougth. I Clearly am just nothing to you anymore - Clearly What I Said Meant Nothing. Even Though You Almost Cried Over it. And you can't deny that I have'nt been extremely nice to you. You know that we would have fun going out as friends, but you've kind of ruined that chance. I just hope the next guy who sets his eyes on you takes care of you the way I did and always would have so that you don't get hurt. So really and truely this is it. The end of me and you?"
"Our Freindship That Never Was"

I NEVER CRIED OVER NOTHING!!
You know what bye bye, like you said you deserve better.

30 minutes later - shes calling me and texting me shouting at me for deleting her off my facebook - and blaming me for not telling her how I felt. I mean is she trying to blame her Guilty coinscience on me? That she's hurt me?

Or

I love her man!

  What I love about being Indian?

Some point of views about why i love India

- self findings

Happy Independance day everyone



Culture and sacrifice



The thing that I love most about being Indian

is living in a cultured society.

I can speak my language very well without faltering.

I love Indian foods, our dresses and beautiful places.

I always respect and love people

who sacrifice their lives and

who are still struggling for the sake of India.

In future, I would like to have

a job in India rather than go abroad.



India all the way



The best thing about being an Indian

is that you belong to the most colorful

and beautiful country in the whole world.

Every state, every city in India has a different history to tell.

I also like the variety of seasons,

the food, clothes and the rich culture.

Indians are the most intelligent of all.

An Indian will serve India in every possible way.



To be an Indian is a honour.

I'm proud because I am in a country

where people from different castes co-exist.

We manage to live together,

celebrate each other's festival and respect each other.

We speak many languages.

There is no place like India



India is a country with a rich culture and heritage.

There's such a variety of food, dances and heritage sites,

it is a great country.

I am proud to be an Indian because

I belong to a land full of warm people,

great food, cool places and the Himalayas.

There is no place like India.



Brothers one and all



In which country will you find a Muslim president,

a Sikh prime minister,

a Christian ruling party leader

and a Hindu vice-president ruling our nation?



Isn't that proof enough to show brotherhood exists in our country?



What more reason can I state to be a proud Indian?



Variety is the spice



I love being Indian because

we have such a rich culture,

different customs, costumes, languages

and spicy food!

India is the true example for the

phrase variety is the spice of life.



Love still exists



Being an Indian makes you different firstly.

I love to be an Indian because love and

affection still exists in India.

The country still has tradition , values and culture.

Why I Love VINYL

Computers surround me and the digital realm is a huge part of my life, but there is so much to love about records. They are analog, old-fashioned and so yesterday, but I am not the only one. During the last few years there has been a resurgence in the sale of records

1. They are Fun to Look At

This summer I visited my friend Joey, and he has a fairly large record collection. My friends were always fascinated with my record players, and especially with the pictures inside the foldout record cover. Every day, they wanted to listen to music, chill and read along, singing the whole time. Sorry, but it is just not as fun to read along with a tiny CD booklet. If you want to get people interested in music, this is the way to do it.

2. They are Fun to Browse Through

I don’t relish browsing through my CD or even my mp3 collection. Admittedly, digital browsing is fun, but it’s still a huge chore to see liner notes (if they even exist), lyrics and so on. There is something both thrilling and relaxing about holding a colorful album cover in your hands and not having to squint. I imagine that aging baby-boomers will start to wish they kept their record collections when they get older.

3. Better Sound

This is probably the most dubious claim: do records really sound better? No one will argue that digital tracks (track—a quietly antiquated term, like splice, or groove) sound much cleaner: no pops, hisses and usually no skipping, unless you have a complete idiot friend who regularly handles your discs with grubby fingers. My theory is that people think records sound better because the noise helps your ears focus, and the fuzzy lack of clarity in the analog realm mellows out the high frequencies, making the sound waves seems less harsh. Call me crazy, but my ears tire more listening to CDs, particularly if I am forced to listen using cheap headphones or speakers.

4. More Music for Less Cash

If money is an issue, you can’t beat records. You can find some real treasures in stores that still sell records. Even trolling flea markets will turn up some great finds, usually for no more than a few Euros

5. Fewer Anti-Piracy Restrictions

If you have the right equipment, it’s very easy to make a mix tape of a record, and a hell of a lot of fun. Time consuming, but so deliciously retro. You can immediately see why piracy is a much bigger deal now: you cannot easily upload a record onto a file sharing service and distribute it to hundreds or thousands of people, and you cannot rip a record in less than five minutes—like you can with a CD—without severely harming the sound quality.

6. They Make You Slow Down

We live in the age of “fast”. Listening to records takes more time than scanning tracks on your iPod, and again, you can not easily load them into your computer. I think it is nice to chill once in a while, and records make you do just that.

8. The Machinery

One detail I miss with CD players, iPods and so on is being able to see what’s happening. I love seeing the needle approach the record, looking at the grooves and actually seeing where a track ends and the next begins. I SOOOOO love this, and I am certain that the mechanics of the record player are part of the reason I love playing records so much.

9. The Concept Album

As much as I love the convenience of only downloading the one track that I like from an album, the idea of a unified album is gradually disappearing, particularly with pop music. Even the idea of putting out a release (antiquated) based on the length of a CD, let alone a record (doubly antiquated) will eventually disappear. If it was not for the limitations of records, we would probably not have concept albums.

10. They Are Just Plain Cool

There is something deliciously retro about playing records;waiting for releases (not downloading tracks before a band releases them—whatever happened to delayed gratification?) and actually going to a record store (will those exist in ten years?)—a real record store,

I do not suppose that an analog renaissance last long. The digital age is too convenient, and as much as I love to slow down and smell of the vinyl, I love having atleast a hundred odd albums on the go when I am travelling between India and Germany . Even so recprds are just plain cool

Important Things to Know About Iran's Election

Twitter riots, Hezbollah and possibly Amal shock troops on the streets, and voting results are the latest rage in the Islamic Republic of Iran. With news being dumped left right and center, there are a few important things to know about the recent disputed election.

1. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cheated but would have won anyway.

Was there fraud in this election? Of course there was (Which elections are completely clean?). President Ahmadinejad had the full backing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps who control the flow of movement throughout the country and protect the election ballots. Any Iranian or Arab country under Iranian threat knows the IRGC plays dirty. But this is besides the point. The Western media (the biggest offender being the Washington Post-owned publication Foreign Policy) based their predictions of a "high turnout equals reformist Mir-Hossein Mousavi victory" based on reports from the Mousavi camp who based their opinion on reading blogs, Facebook, and Twitter. This flawed sampling method would make a Mousavi victory seem likely. Only a limited segment of Iran uses new media. The poor Persians, industrial Azeris, and tribals do not use new media and these groups tend to like Ahmadinejad for this tough foreign policy stances. The bad polling is much like the 1936 case of Literary Digest claiming President Roosevelt would lose reelection. They conducted their poll by telephone: a device only used by upper-middle class (Republicans) at the time.

2. Mousavi is not a reformist.

The man was prime minister during the Iran-Iraq War. He is not as hard core on women's issues but when it comes to nuclear policy, Israel, the United States, Iranian minorities, etc he is just like Ahmadinejad. The reason why Supreme Leader Ali Hoseyni Khamenei, the real leader of Iran, allowed Mousavi to run for president is because Khamenei knew Mousavi would follow the line and not rock the boat.

3. Iran is the Islamic Republic of Iran (It is not a normal country just with a different viewpoint).

Foreign Policy and the likes of them are confused. In part of their claiming that the election was stolen they state "would a victor act like this?" A better question would be "would an Islamic Republic paranoid of losing power do this?" The answer is yes. Iran's leaders remember how much fun it was to drag the Shah's troops through the streets of Tehran during the Iranian Revolution. Those who dragged and killed the Shah's men know first-hand the horrors they face if there is a role reversal and such a fate is inflicted on them. They will do anything to avoid having a situation. Heck, these are the people who execute homosexuals and minorities in public because they seem them as a threat!

I hope you readers now have a better understanding of what is going on inside Iran.
