I don't feel anything. Pinch me...Uh huh, nopes...still the same!!!
Everyone around me is so concerned about the recent happenings. Dudes are coming out with assortment of "Bon Ton" words to lament about our national security, non dudes are coming up with innovative "gaaliya" to curse the terrorists, gults are seen whispering something in between which terrorism and Mumbai crops up. All of them are grimmer than ever. But I am not.
Some are frustrated, some are angry, some are charged, some have taken vows to become IPS officers, some want to assault these bloody terrorists in public, some want God to intervene in the matter, many of them flashed a cool gtalk sm for some days, numerous posts are up on blog-o-sphere, zillions of words have been given tongue to. I am listening to Duma Dum Mast Kalandar, feeling nothing... VOID, BLANK. Don't mistake it for being helpless. I am feeling....oh, wait a minute,perhaps something......nopes, nothing. I am more concerned about my compre tomorrow. It's not like, I haven't tried. I added im@ibnalerts.com to my gtalk list, ran to tell my wingies and friends about the breaking news, made some condemnable faces, mutter a few striking words, made few "chchchch" sounds, only to come back to my room and feel nothing. Goddamn my nerve cells, when will you respond... I am an emo guy(refer Atin's blog). I am sentimental. Then why this void.
I am not feeling anything or I don't want to??? Compre, grades, Ali da pehla number, EGP, planning comission, not terrorism, not mumbai, Harivansh Rai Bachhan's poem-

यह महान दृश्य है,
चल रहा मनुष्य है,
अश्रु, श्वेद, रक्त से,
लथपथ, लथपथ, लथपथ,
अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ......
चल रहा मनुष्य है,
अश्रु, श्वेद, रक्त से,
लथपथ, लथपथ, लथपथ,
अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ......
I am just stunned....
ReplyDeleteEven people like you and me will get confused about the layouts in Taj,how come they pulled it through.....
Irony is that some hours before the attacks my gtalk flash was:
ये दाग दाग उजाला ये शब गजीदा शहर,
वो इंतजार था जिसका ये वो सहर तो नही
Also, I found these mesmerizing pictures at

Even I was shocked...But I am not confused, I am just BLANK...
ReplyDeleteI read your status message that very day...I saw these "mesmerizing" pictures as well... It'll happen again, we'll again see the gruesome pictures, we'll again waste so much time pondering over it. It's better I have stopped brooding now only. And, it'll remain so till the day, I am able to do something. Sorry, if I have not been able to meet your expectations.
For more inspiration, you can go through this really good post @http://akashbadave.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-are-u-going-to-do-about-it.html
Your style of writing makes ur post fun to read. Some and many such incidents will make all of us feel the same way as you.
ReplyDeleteThis word verification suck
it was something really unexpected from you....right now iam not in a position to comment upon because i think it needs some time to analyse your state of mind and then interpret this one accordingly.....but i must say that your style of writing is not only unique but intresting.....
ReplyDeleteI vouldn't feel a thing too. Simply because, no matter how many emails or messages we send, we can't do anything whatsoever about it. 90% of India has already gone back to happily watching the India Vs. England Cricket series.
