In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. - Douglas Adams

mirror mirror on the wall whoz the greenest of them all???

its been a while... Dont blame me... Blame my fucked up computer... and the fact that my laptop modem doesnt work with the fucking dialup connection I have.... or blame it on the fact that I just dont feel like doing anything about it :)... I have turned into a fucking lazy bum and I'm loving it.. There have been a few things that I've wanted to blog about... so here goes...

I read a very surprising fact the other day... Delhi, known for being a concrete jungle, polluted and wat not, is surprisingly, one of the greenest cities in India... And you know the delicious fact... Its greener than the garden city... Yeah.. Bangalore... There was nothing about Pune in the survey or else I wud've loved chaffing the likes of Anya, Ajit, Nitin and Anand ;)...

The big news in India these days is the completion of a year in office by the UPA government... Now I'm no big fan of the BJP and there brand of politics... But I dont like the congress's coalition partners... The left keeps pushing the economic reforms a step back and dont get me started about Laloo... I was reading this editorial by Vir Sanghvi in HT last Sunday and he wrote about the bad habit of governments to scrutinize and taint all the dealings of the previous Government... He noted that though the UPA government didnt do nething of that sort in almost all of the first year, lately they've come back with a bang... They rejected the Phukan commission report which exonerated George Fernandes... The CAG report slammed Vajpayee's pet project, the golden quadrilateral highway project... The politicians in this country really need to get over the petty things and get on with doing some good work... Because if reports are to be believed (i am a big skeptic, but maybe its true) India is going to be the third largest economy in the next 30 years... I just hope though that our politicians can take some time off from their bickering and get down to some serious business.. Build up infrastructure, speed up the reforms and get the hell out of the way... India Shining... maybe it will... If our politicians let it...

Oh I wanted to talk about the music I've been listening to... Loads and loads of Hindi music... I absolutely adore the music of 'Kaal'... and also from the movie 'Zeher' Woh Lamhe... The remixed one... its amazing....

btw, I watched my favourite movie in theatre again.... yeah, DDLJ... they've re-released it in theatres on the occasion of its 500th week aniv and trust me, if you love this movie and you are in India, just go and see it in a theatre... it just feels amazing, to see it once again :)...

my lyrics for today:

hamein tumhaare sivaa kuchh nazar nahiin aataa
tumhein nazar men sajaakar sharaab piite hain


unhiin ke hisse men aatii hai pyaas hii aksar
jo duusaron ko pilaakar sharaab piite hain


Jagjit Singh : Nazar Nazar Se ( The first sher is my favourite of all times... )
