Amidst the March's Commotion

Well the first exam was the mind wrecking Social Science memorizing 24 lessons in even 2 days time is a nightmare. But the nightmare came true for me and sleeping for less than 5 hours i woke up again at 4:30 AM(sharp!). The paper was not as frightening but one question which i had not prepared came . i had a really bad tackling it.

Next was Maths , i still remember how i wasted nearly 7 out of the 10 day leave by sleeping and loitering around the colony mindlessly. Actually i started studying the 2 days before.

As expected the maths exam too went like a breeze .

i wasted a fortune of hours and days . I used to start studying just the day before . The day before i used to have goosebumps for all the day round

Hindi and English also went but the Science kicked my ass.(badly)
We got 4 leaves in between . But i wasted the starting two leaves in my ignorance, as i had done earlier in all my papers.(Ignorance is Bliss).

But the last two days i had a horrific experience i forgot by Bio(logy) Chapters even after memorizing twice and could spare only a minimum of 4 to 6 hours to Chemistry and physics .
But the paper was a mixed bag full of surprises. With a few twisted questions i found the paper (and the Set III ) difficult.
Probably it was because of some chemical locha in my mind which one of my comrades had injected into my mind and got strengthened with that maths MISHAP( the wrong construction question)
Somehow with guesses and tukkas i sailed through it .
Next was the Practical .. dont ask how.. !!
Alas! we're free!!!
But i have one grudge ... they ate away the whole month.

A Visit to the BARBER

I remember the thick canopy of hair that befriended me till the last Monday . That canopy of large grown , pampered , though haphazard but well cared hair. After all the imperfect nature makes everything unique.

The canopy of hair was dear to me and in my thoughts I thought of my rock idols. But every change meets a reaction whether positive or negative. This time it was negative. @#$%

Everyone saw me through evil eyes for my grown hairs. But I braved through the resistance and defied the parents . But the joy of overriding the requests of my parents  and dreams  were short lived and soon shattered into a million pieces.

Well when i reached the local Saloon , it was an altogether a new scene. 

A drunk man had found its way to the saloon . The scene barbers were at their best  servile and Submissive lest they should get a nice thrashing.

Well all the barbers the juniors as well as the seniors were enjoying the scene giggling quietly .

The man fortunately had a nephew with him whom he frequently taunted and called a few names.The man kept the barbers busy and made the Saloon richer by a atleast a 1000 bucks( wild estimate).

 The man kept saying "Kartar Singh jo Bole hai woh duniya kare hai" !!
(What Kartar Singh says the world does)Huh!

He even kept scolding his nephew "Jab kisi aadmi ne sharab pee rakhi ho to usse Badtamaeezi nahin karte" . (don't misbehave with a drunken person) really!

The pestered and tortured barbers kept cursing him and it took them about half an hour to give me a cut. While a sported a trendy "V" and Spikes my mind was still preoccupied with the incident. the barbers kept on disscussing about the man and made wild links about caste and behaviour .sigh

Well watch this Video, really funny!

Jackson Pollock

Google is out with another doodle , commemorating the birth anniversary of an influential painter
"Jackson Pollock" . The doodle is as much self explanatory and a 'careful' gazing will reveal the word "Google".
About the painter read the following and you may have an idea about him

“

A dripping wet canvas covered the entire floor. . . . There was complete silence. . . . Pollock looked at the painting. Then, unexpectedly, he picked up can and paint brush and started to move around the canvas. It was as if he suddenly realized the painting was not finished. His movements, slow at first, gradually became faster and more dance like as he flung black, white, and rust colored paint onto the canvas. He completely forgot that Lee and I were there; he did not seem to hear the click of the camera shutter. . . My photography session lasted as long as he kept painting, perhaps half an hour. In all that time, Pollock did not stop. How could one keep up this level of activity? Finally, he said 'This is it.'

”

“

Pollock’s finest paintings… reveal that his all-over line does not give rise to positive or negative areas: we are not made to feel that one part of the canvas demands to be read as figure, whether abstract or representational, against another part of the canvas read as ground. There is not inside or outside to Pollock’s line or the space through which it moves…. Pollock has managed to free line not only from its function of representing objects in the world, but also from its task of describing or bounding shapes or figures, whether abstract or representational, on the surface of the canvas.(Karmel 132)

Here are some paintings of the artist

The Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire has at last returned to India where it was directed. Despite being the backdrop of the film it was released in India so late. The story is all about a dweller Javed who has made it to the final question of”Kaun Banega Crorepati" .But the police accuses him of cheating and asks him how a slum dweller could know all the questions on the show. The following film is how he explains his experiences of childhood, about his family and so on. The film is really touching and has been successful in reserving a special corner in the hearts of people all round the globe. After being awarded a host of Golden Globe awards for a no of categories, it is all set to bag a bunch of Oscars too after being nominated in 10 categories. It is a proud moment for Indians as
A. R Rehman is the 1^st Indian to be nominated.

However, it is only the brighter side, which the media has finally realized and has depicted it on the Silver screen sensitively .But on the other side of the coin the situations have changed for sure, but even these changes are not as satisfactory. Many still die due to Poverty, malnourishment and many a times it is the greed and illiteracy which claims the life of these Slum dwellers. Only like a White Tiger, children like Javed are born once in a whole generation. They fight against the odds and rise to fame . BUT that’s only once in a whole generation and a lot has to be still done.

You might be wondering how i swayed the topic! (I aspire to be like Marc Antony of Julius Caesar)

Signing off with a heavy heart
