couldn't be much more from the heart...
forever trusting who we are...
and nothing else matters...
call it James Hetfield's visionary powers, or call it sheer coincidence, but these four lines indeed sum up the state of minds of the thousands of sweltering citizens in and around Calcutta.
Phew...
Now even as I write, with a fan revolving directly over my head, and an AC churning in cool air behind my back, I can still feel beads of sweat developing on my forehead ... a few of them coalescing together to form a bigger bead ... the bigger bead thus formed, following every possible Physics law very obediently, to convert itself into a stream of sweat, and ... making it's way down my face, and finally dropping in a rather uncomfortable looking position on my pyjamas... call that life in Cal! life in the City of Joy ... how very ironic man!
Equally irritating are the worthless people who call themselves meterologists, and who are only capable of staring at their ancient computer satelite screens for hours, predicting 'the possiblity of rain or sun shine' day after day...and then later claiming how correct they were!!!
Happens only in India, can't argue about that one!
Summer 2009 is possibly the worst season I lived through during my entire life, and there seems to be absolutely no signs of ending. An iota of hope crept into my mind today when I looked out of the window to see clouds, and hear a few rolls of thunder ... hoping that this was it, the day thousands had been waiting for, but the hope got extinguished as fast as everything cleared up to make way for bright sunshine again.
What the HECK!!!
this is supposed to be monsoon season people, and by monsoon we mean the monsoon we in India are all familar with .. viz the WET monsoon, not a monsoon which has the sun growing brighter and brighter every passing day, or a monsoon where we don't see a drop of rain till now!!!
In the hindsight, I guess it is we who are to blame for this unfortunate state of things. We pollute our environment, cause all this global heating, melt the ice caps, and stop the rains, and in the end, it is we who suffer ... punishment by the Gods for our sins I guess, and how deserving we are of that!!! Possibly the worst of His creations, treat our planet like our neighbour's back yard and then blame everyone around for the consequences. Thanks to Mukund, I have taken an initiative to stop using polythene bags for sometime now ... believe me it's not very difficult, and I would entreat each one of you to take similar initiaves in similar directions... after all its our planet, and we need to save it now... give it a thought, and please let me know what you plan to do...
signing off now, and expecting a lot of cooperation for a bigger cause.
