Self Destruction Made easy...

An Indian urban youth with access to his needs, and with a bit of money and feeling of financial security inevitably falls into satan's most lethal plot. the last bit abt financial security is an optional condition...
Invariably he believes there is some one who was manufactured "customised to suit his requirements" and was hidden from his eyes for so long...and God deemed it appropriate to show the girl of his dreams at a juncture when he basically has nothing else to think about...;) Love is an Idle mind's greatest creation.... And a weapon of mass destruction which bull dozes many a budding career and truncates the stretch of imagination of many more....in a few cases it does manage to titillate and inspire though shortly...If god were to ever create a balance sheet of the good and the bad experienced by the head over heels lover....it would be ridiculously lopsided...and an idle mind and a young mind which otherwise unleashes great ideas also wastes hours thinking about bull crap...The key to the great indian institutions being great are that they load the student's with so much work that the mind wanders less and the careers hence meander less...
All the ABC College of arts and science devdasses bunk classes to make passes at lasses...Ofcourse the Five point someones from the IITs also are "Love Girl", she aint after me...so i want Grass" types...but the link among all these guys are they possess an idle mind which is an ideal environ for hell to break loose...
The movies glorifying the art of using the great young mind to generate trash and bull crap...are key players in the Catch them young..throw them down the drain phenomenon..
The great Indian college goer needs a better deal... India is lost in the trance that the internet and cable television has created...Our youth rarely have burning ambition and most achievers are products of the rat race and peer pressure phenomenon...The only burning ambition in the minds of most are to WOO an opposite sex human being....
Harmones rather than grey cells drive the youth.....That is god's mistake...But someone somewhere in power can do something to reduce the extent and frequency of the
havoc created...

India needs to grow as a country...for that the youth need to grow up and fast....

Chennai Weekend...

Well, Thanks to TCS, my friend and quiz partner Chaitanya, and a lot of other associates, I had the luck of travellin to chennai, fully sponsored by my company...well..to attend the regional finals of a tcs wide quiz;) that the quiz turned out to be a not so great event is another story...;) but flyin to chn and back is worth a mention....yours "fool"ly has travelled by air on only 2 other occasions...so LAGEY RAHO;) i said to myself...
Comin to the chn trip...it was not a great trip and all;) but VOKEY...and most importantly...I had the privilege of listenin to a gr8 mimicry session by RR...the next Balamurali Krishna or even more...Absolute senseless stuff..but who cares...fun is at a premium these days...
Two sessions of cricket are worth a cursory mention....my batting is not as bad as i thot it was....
and my left arm spin is surprisingly DECENT;) i managed to pitch the ball most times and thats an achievement;)
Black the movie was also part of the two day package and so was a 4 hr chat session discussin somethin that has no solution;) some people see no problem to find a solution...but one's eye sees a problem where another sees opportunities...so lets keep things complex and leave it at that....
Finally my frnd from hyd came home and we proceeded to fly back to andhra pradhesam...in the flight I met one GOOD OLD man with classical views on Globalization and merger of nationalized banks,....it was at the end of a 30 min conversation that bordered between enlightening and fascinating that I found out thro' his visiting card and a brochure that he casually gave me that...He was the Gen Secretary of the All India BankEmployees Association..Mr Venkatachalam..or CHV...Big man, great knowledge,....Humble nature..Well, humility is a commonality that links all great ppl aint it;)

Well, after an expensive auto journey I reached home in Hyd to sign off a not so great but not so non descript either weekend....
