article 109

"When bros attend a sporting event and see themselves on the JumboTron, they shall purse their lips and flex their biceps while informing the crowd that their team is number one, despite any objective rankings to the contrary"

Manchester United 3

Manchester City 1

stranger than fiction

I've been toying with this theory for quite sometime now. I've studied economics; making theories ought to be as simple as stalking someone's profile on facebook. It mostly is, and even if I'm not planning to pick up Economics as a career option, I prefer giving the theory generators enough food and drinks for thought to keep them up and running.

As many would know, the fantasy realm created by George Lucas, DC, Marvel and others of their kin is more than an alternative reality for me. Streamed, tweaked and edited from their stories I believe all of us are made in groups of 3; us, our bizarro and a nemesis (A gut says you'll stop reading now... don't). We are who we are; quite easy to understand. Our bizarro is an exact opposite, south pole to our north pole, lame to our awesome (or vice versa)... On the other hand, a nemesis is an individual we hate and he/she reciprocates our feelings. Many would like to admit that they can't hold a grudge or per say accept hate for someone, but hatred is very humane and exists in everyone. There happens to be a thick line of difference between the two and I wish to elaborate. A bizarro necessarily need not be a foe; in fact our bizarro might just be an ally, a really close one... opposites seldom do attract. A nemesis is most definitely a rival. Though inspired out of jealousy, anger or may be too much respect for one's ego to digest, our hatred for him/her is parallel to our dark side. Not intending to imply in any sense that we are on the sweet side while our counterpart is on the sour. Such a situation may exist when good and evil don't exist and both beings face the same side of the coin, but unfortunately with a massive contradicting super-ego on either sides.

It may be unreasonably far fetched for many and may be even visibly flawed for others; the bizarro-nemesis theory is not too far from the existing if you think about it. Try giving your self an out of body experience and get into someone else's mind, whom you think might fit the two and I bet you'll agree that this belief is far from Utopia and thus does exist.

"Always try and put your self and the other person's shoes before taking a decision. Empathy is all that you need to be successful", Rajiv sir always said.

A mentor, an idol and my first boss, Rajiv Badlani passed away in December, succumbing to a lasting battle with cancer. Considered as one of the foremost entrepreneurs of the country, I can write a post for every instance that I went into his cabin and came out with something more than I already knew. He taught me empathy, a feeling quite unknown to me prior to working for him. I wanted to write for him, was scared that it won't be good enough... still am. This theory is for him, an attempt to thank him for all the sessions I had sitting in his cabin, for giving me my first chance to work, for introducing me to Jazz and for being the mentor I needed at that time. I was stuck at the gate between reality and imagination; he pushed me beyond this threshold along with my fears and apprehensions... and now imagination feels like-like.

I write only because you thought I could. Thank you Commander General, for everything. You're being missed.

the bro code

In an attempt to keep the blog active and funny, here begins a weekly tradition of quoting from the awesome-est book known to bro-kind; our Brogavad Gita... The Bro Code.

Trying and keeping it relevant to present happenings.

Article 19

"A Bro shall not sleep with another Bro's sister. However, a bro shall not get angry if another Bro says, "Dude, your sister's hot!"

d'oh!

After 25 Emmies and 26 Annies, a Star on the Hollywood walk of fame, one film and 451 episodes, in 2009 The Simpsons became the longest running American prime time entertainment series.

Currently in their 21st season, the family grew 20 years old this week. My favorite dysfunctional family gets this post.

Some of my favorite quotes:

"Quiet you kids. If I hear one more word, Bart doesn't get to watch cartoons, and Lisa doesn't get to go to college" Homer Simpson

"There's no such thing as a soul. It's just something they made up to scare kids, like the boogeyman or Michael Jackson" Bart Simpson

"I bought you a tune sandwich. They say it's brain food. I guess because there's so much dolphin in it and you know how smart they are" Marge Simpson

"Romance is dead - it was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized and sold off piece by piece" Lisa Simpson

"Eat my shorts" Bart Simpson

"Doughnuts! Is there anything they can't do?" Homer Simpson

The last episode's chalkboard gag read this:

"The world may end in 2012... but we won't"


And this is my Simpsons' avatar :D

finger gekreuzt

Its been a long time coming. Luck, resources and ability struck once before as well, but may be not as hard as it has this time. I've done, mailed and submitted everything that I could and had to. Now I wait... for acceptance... for the exhilaration to hit.

Sorry for the ambiguity; more to come soon...

Fingers crossed: 'finger gekreuzt'
