Rozaa (55 Word Non-Fiction)

Disclaimer : The following post contains Explicit Language. Reader's Discretion advised.

"Main Kya Idhar B**C** Baitthaa Hun Tera Sun Ke Leney Ke Liye", said one.
"Bh***D**, M**C**giri Tuney Chaloo Ki Thi", replied the other

I finally couldnt take it anymore.
I got up to the window and had a nice look down at both of them.
"Ek Meharbaanee Kariye", I shouted. "Kal Se Rozaa Mat Rakhnaa"

Sach

लगता है डर सच से, लोगों को इसलिये,
उनको भी शायद उसकी अजमत पे यकीं होगा ।
- खलील सावंत

Truth is feared, by people because,
they too perhaps trust its strength.
- Khalil Sawant

Conflict of Interest

Humans are in a fundamental conflict of interest

It is required for them for their daily food that they sell themselves (as we call it)
It necessitates for every individual, the need for showing how he/she is good with what he/she is
Gradually this even takes/took the help of falsehood

It is required for them to maintain peace with each other, for a successful society in general
It necessitates the need for humbleness and mutual respect, lessening of the importance of how good you are, for bragging (honest or otherwise) and peace with others cannot go hand in hand

Humans are in a fundamental conflict of interest

On Krishna and Achilles

Was watching Troy yesterday on HBO
Achilles killed by his heel
One more person died similarly, Krishna, an arrow through his foot
Then something struck me
Achilles and the Trojan war was around 12-11 century BC
Krishna and the Mahabharata was around 11-10 century BC

Two legends, two historical wars, two similar deaths, nearly the same time
The connection ends there :)

Hariyanvi Mehta

Had known a guy, junior in college for some time now, around 10 months now, is a Mehta.
Came to know that he is a Hariyanvi from around Sirsa.
Weird, I thought Mehtas were supposed to be only Gujaratis.
Anyways :)

On Politicians and Religion

Came to know from across here
YS Raj Shekhar Reddy, the current chief minister of Andhra Pradesh is Christian, not that it matters
And Narendra Modi, like Atal Bihari Vaajpey is unmarried.

My Invented Proverbs - Part IV

  • True randomness is one whose long term statistical properties are also truly random
  • Excessive Theoretical Idealism causes Hypocritical Reality
  • People in general are in a Grand Illusion of False Dichotomies
  • If 9 people out of 10 do something, it does not mean it is right, it only means it is popular
  • Error by consensus is better than error by directive
  • Humans are meta-hypocrites, they would be hypocritical, without allowing others the same freedom, thus being hypocritical about hypocrisy
  • Just because I do not know the solution, does not make your solution right
  • There are only two types of people in the world, those who value other people's life and those who dont. There are is no third types.
  • People who do not support democracy, generally, have never been nor would like to be, on the receiving end of what they support
  • If there is something worse than Blind Hatred, it is the supreme confidence in the theory that the Hatred is not Blind in the first place
