Type stop
“Sex And The City was not a documentary, and it was a whole recession ago, and really a whole generation of online dating ago. So do us all a favor: Stop with Carrie and Miranda and especially Samantha, and while you’re at it? You could give the Bridget Jones thing a rest, too.
We’ve all moved on. Please move on with us.”

Splosh, it fell
You know what being in love feels like?
It’s called daily dose of Crap.
For anyone who says different, take a knife, insert it in your chest and twist it gently. (Yes, it’s killing you softly).
On a happier note, here’s a link for all the One Piece in the world.

Links barrage
Listening to: Zombie-Cranberries/Strange Fruit-Billie Holliday/Georgia-Ray Charles/
After a long time
- Beginning with self pleasure and masturbation, I have accounts on MAL and icheckmovies. Still have a long way to go in both – although re-watching Se7en on an off day does nothing to increase the list.
- For all your One Piece needs, this is probably the best place to go.
- I often go trailer watching because I skip the new movies. Some trailers look saucy (like Scream 4) and some look immensely thrilling (like All good things). And then there are some, like Biutiful, which are stories in themselves.
- I’m not sure if it’s a good thing but the Indian section of Wiki’s list of greatest films has Sholay (1975) as the last entry. There’s also some obvious choices like Satyajit Ray films (not in my top shelf), Gandhi (a bit of over-reaching there) and Junoon (which I have never cared for). I know that most films made in India are sort of, often marketing shenanigans and mostly crap wrapped up in decoration. But I would have put something like Pushpak in that list. (and a secret favourite called Teesri Manzil).
- Thought of the day:
When your hands reek tobacco,
and your mouth smells like sushi,
there’s a night you can always remember.

Just about to fall?
Life never gives us straight up choices.
It’s never as easy as in anime, which also tries to show the grey areas. It’s not like fighting good and evil, it’s never as easy to pick a boy/girl. It’s not like Naruto just decided he’s going to get Sasuke back..Oh! wait he did!…
Life doesn’t give a choice at all. What it does it presents you with two options; both that you want to reject. It gives lessons and the funny thing is that you never learn from them. Once bitten, twice shy only applies when you’re watching some one else’s life and shouting at the screen. Even though I always feel I’m watching me watching me (sort of like a meta reality, or twice removed), I make the same mistakes over and over again – always knowing full well what I’m doing, with a tinge of regret but never a full rollback.
I think anime makes those choices very clear. (I am totally excluding Indian films/TV serials and such from this category for it pains me to say but it is mostly useless). I believe (if i can do that) that people can’t change or probably won’t change.
It’s a learning curve of stupidity with bits of experience meshed in. I’m on the edge.
Observer comment: My tone has drastically been damaged. Improve!

Lovers for Rent
Under the sunshine they met as strangers
Words were hurled and hearts were broken.
Under the twilight, observed from afar
They held their hands and sighs closer
He took her by the mouth and gazed in her dreams
She grabbed his shoulder and held his desires
Each touch was calculated
Each stroke was measured
Every kiss drew blood
Every tear drew love
They gazed in the sky till azure was upon them
A final kiss was exchanged and they left each other
Under the sunshine they met as strangers
Words were hurled and hearts were kindled.
