My Journey

Since teenage, I have tried everything I happened to have a fancy for,
Music, Guitar, Keyboards, Hiking, Martial arts, Kick Boxing, Dirt bike racing...

- Won University Boxing Championship in ‘Light Weight’ category and runner-up in Kick Boxing, Nationals
- Music is my passion. Had formed a rock band with fellow batch mates while in Engineering College. Soon we started winning prices in University and inter college festivals, and thus had the privilege to perform in front of our professors, Pink Floyd's infamous number, "We don’t need no Education..."


A few years ago, I set out on the road, seeking my fame n fortune, looking for a pot of gold.
I’m in transit now, between the past and the future. My journey took me from Bombay to KL and now Singapore.

I haven’t hit my pot of gold yet, but I’m definitely having fun on the way...

- rocks
 

Time

Tickin away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter n waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kickin around on a peace of ground in your home town
Waitin for someone or something to show you the way

And then, one day you find
Ten years have gone behind
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun...

And you run, you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
Racin around to come up behind you again
The Sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath... one day closer to DEATH !

-- Pink Floyd

BELOVED MASTER, I FEEL SHOCKED WHEN YOU USE THE WORD 'F***'. WHAT TO DO?

Sargamo, it is one of the most beautiful words. The English language should be proud of it. I don't think any other language has such a beautiful word. One Tom from California has done some great research on it. I think he must be the famous Tom of Tom, Dick and Harry fame.

He says:

One of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word 'F***'.

It is one magical word: just by its sound it can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love.
In language it falls into many grammatical categories.
It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John F***ed Mary) and intransitive (Mary was F***ed by John), and as a noun (Mary is a fine F***). It can be used as an adjective (Mary is F***ing beautiful).

As you can see there are not many words with the versatility of 'F***'.
Besides the sexual meaning, there are also the following uses:

Fraud: I got F***ed at the used car lot. 
Ignorance: F***ed if I know.
Trouble: I guess I am F***ed now!
Aggression: F*** you!
Displeasure: What the F*** is going on here?
Difficulty: I can't understand this F***ing job.
Incompetence: He is a F***-off.
Suspicion: What the F*** are you doing?
Enjoyment: I had a F***ing good time.
Request: Get the F*** out of here!
Hostility: I am going to knock your F***ing head off!
Greeting: How the F*** are you?
Apathy: Who gives a F***?
Innovation: Get a bigger F***ing hammer.
Surprise: F***! You scared the shit out of me!
Anxiety: Today is really F***ed.

And it is very healthy too. If every morning you do it as a Transcendental Meditation -- just when you get up, the first thing, repeat the mantra "F*** you!" five times -- it clears the throat. That's how I keep my throat clear!
Enough for today.
