But
Posted On Tuesday, June 28, 2005 at at 4:45 PM by BijeshIt is so bleeding easy to say that you dont care about the world or what the world thinks. I do too. The truth ofcourse is quite confusing. Even if you do actually not care, the world cares about you. Atleast a part of the world. That makes it an uneasy unidirectional relationship. It doesn't really matter anymore that you don't care about the world. It loses it relevance. Anything and everything you do changes something in the world. And what happens in the world around definitely changes things within you. You don't really control anything. Not even yourself. But that doesn't stop you from assuming (wrongly) that you are your own master, commander and slave. You are nobody's master and you are nobody's slave. You are everybody's master and you are everybody's slave. That's how the world works. And it is complicated.
I wont make much sense now. What I said is gooey at best. But the truth does not change. It does change, but the sense that truth tries to make does not. Truth is gooey at best. And it does change. Truth is not an object, truth is not a feeling, truth is nothing, truth can be everything. Truth can be an illusion, truth can be the truth. You don't really control anything. Not even yourself. But that doesn't stop you from thinking that you know the truth.
I don't have much leisure. I don't do anything that I think is useful. How can something I do be useful? How do you define usefulness? Useful as in I satisfied myself by doing it? Is that ever possible. Feeling satisfied and elated about something that you did. You might feel a moment of elation, but is it useful enough to keep you there. What is the whole point of things? Where does everything lead us to? Back to dust. Where exactly is the point of doing things? Nothing you do is going to make anything change. Change happens by itself and is an ongoing process. You don't really control anything. Not even yourself. But that doesn't stop you from feeling a sense of having caused some change.
(holy crap! What have I done to myself?)
Sometimes
Posted On Friday, June 24, 2005 at at 10:24 AM by Bijesh.. u lose something to gain something. Not everything will happen always. What has not happened is not important! What is important is what has happened! What is also important is that what has not happened now can happen later! That way both or all of the things you wanted/wished for will happen, albeit at different points in time.
(that's the gandhi influence. gandhi of the vijay type.)
music favs
Posted On Tuesday, June 21, 2005 at at 11:36 AM by BijeshI am a music lover. I may not understand the maths of music. I am not even a bathroom singer. But I love music. All kinds of music - from rock to western classical to ghazals to jazz to ... everthing except boybandish, britneyisk and bollylike music. So it is not surprising that I want to make a list of my fav music numbers. I am not quite sure of how to organize my fav list. Genre is moot! So I'll probably do it my way.
The first list is a collection of those mellow, yummy and oftentimes romantic songs (power ballads inclusive). Ofcourse there are way lot more that I like than what's listed here.
1. Topping the list is "Love will keep us alive" as performed by "The Eagles" (as of this past saturday it has a special meaning to me)
2. "Romeo and Juliet" by "Dire Straits". This has some awesome guitar solos on it.
3. "Making love out of nothing at all" by "Air Supply". I love a whole lot of other Air Supply songs too.
4. "Now and Forever", "Angel's Lullaby" and "Right here waiting" by Richard Marx
5. "Every breath you take" by The Police
6. "Drops of Jupiter" by Train. Train is an awesome band. Not very known I guess but they produce some great unique music.
7. "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton for that twangy guitar.
8. "I believe I can fly" by R Kelly
9. "Wonderwall" by Oasis. Okie this is not exactly mellow but it is kinda to me.
10. "Please forgive me" by Bryan Adams.
Coming Soon: Other lists including favourite Indian music, Rock, etc.
US Grand Prix - Indianapolis (contd.)
Posted On at at 10:47 AM by BijeshIn case you did not see this, here is wat FIA had to say - http://f1.racing-live.com/en/headlines/news/detail/050620160231.shtml[[quote]]
...and among other suggestions offered to help them by monitoring[[//quote]]
speeds and penalising any excess.
However the Michelin teams refused to agree unless the Bridgestone
runners were slowed by the same amount. They suggested a chicane. The
Michelin teams seemed unable to understand that this would have been
grossly unfair as well as contrary to the rules. The Bridgestone teams
had suitable tyres. They did not need to slow down.
The Michelin teams' lack of speed through turn 13 would have been a
direct result of inferior equipment, as often happens in Formula One.

Michelin's failure to supply its teams with safe and durable tyres came less than two weeks after it was warned by the FIA not to sacrifice safety for performance.[[//quote]]
Do you still think FIA was wrong? Why couldn't the Michelin teams agree to limit their speed and their speed alone into turn 13? So, this wasn't just about safety after all, was it? This is what is a if-i-dont-win-nobody-should attitude.
The more I look and read about this, the more I blame Michelin and the Michelin-shod teams. They were stubborn and totally remorseless. Michelin was incompetent, that's the bottom line. What's even more ridiculous is that none of these teams have anything to say about Michelin's mistake?
Unbelievable. Just because 7(or watever) teams did this together, does not make the wrong right.
