World at war

The other day in DC I visited the holocaust museum, I didn't quite realize what I was walking into until I actually started my tour of the museum. I was overwhelmed with a great grief and sorrow and disappointment with the human race. All the attrocities carried out by these people...You just can't say that you carried out your orders, because at a certain point of cruelty your own principles should have stood between the order and you. These attrocities were conducted by people who really believed in what they were doing and actually enjoyed it.

The museum itself has clippings of dead bodies being pushed into large pits like a farm produce gone really bad. I mean these Nazi bastards didn't even have the humanity to put a cloth over these bodies.

May god just bless the souls of all the people who had to die by the hands of the Nazis.

Mankind just seems to disappoint me over and over...under the pretext of religion, under the pretext of ethnic cleansing, under the pretext of race or be it caste! Do we really need these? Why can't we live an honest life? Don't your religions teach you that? And if they dont then I think they don't deserve to be called a religion.

Of late, the war against terrorism and stuff is also primarily a religious war. It's a shame we didn't learn a bit from the holocaust.

If there is any God, I pray to you to put some common sense in all people.

This is my only prayer to God.

At the smithsonian museum of natural history at Washington DC

Akheer

Woke up today listening to Juggy D's Akheer...

A very beautiful song...it gives a lot of examples about the end and
suggests that u take His/Her (God's) name....

It's almost like a bhajan kirtan type of a song, but it has a very
lovely meaning to it...

We all answer to some God, even if you are an atheist, your God is
knowledge o the belief that there's no God...but there is.... He is in
all of us, we choose to ignore him at times and we tend to think of
him in times of real needs... Our minds are weak and a lot many times
even the strongest person in the world needs support....

God is beautiful... So is life....

Ok shuffle played an iron maiden song right after this...gotto go and
change the music to the mood

The scientist

So here I am in a bedroom at a friends house all alone as I wake up...
S is out of town do I decided to drive up to a friends place in DC for
the vacations..

So as I woke up with the sun zoning on my face through the window on a
cold day after Christmas I put the iPod on shuffle and it selects
coldplays the scientist.

This song is such a lovely song...just thought I'd capture the
moment....

Merry Christmas.

Love

Ever have that feeling? Its hard to describe it, its even difficult when you miss it. What is it exactly? 

I mean waking up to the smile of the person
going home and to be greeted by a hug...
calling someone up when you know the storm just hit your area.. 

yeah .. it is these things.. but its a lot more than this. its not the stuff that we regularly see in tv's or movies or read about in stories. Its just a totally bizarre feeling. 

Its like, even if there are two immiscible liquids and they are poured down a tube and they somehow mix up get on with the flow, and the flow is this smooth streaming of joy, pleasure, peace, calm, care, laughter, smiles, teardrops, twinkle in the eye moments,secret yet public moments where no-one really understands what you just shared with her and no one will really even care about it but the two of you. 

Love's a tough cookie, I may sound a little romantic here, but the point is .. its our anniversary and s is out.. so sometimes its alright to miss someone and pine for em.

Life is beautiful

Been listening to a lot of nice Hindi songs lately, and boy do they
make you wanna croon along.

Today I saw an acapella contest on NBC and it made me wanna look up
acapella on YouTube. There are a whole lot of talented people on
YouTube.

Was trying to figure out my wordpress email address the other day...
Took me a long time to find it. But I'm back to posting blogs through
emails.

Since s is back at her home in india, I thought I'd be on a salad
diet... But people have been extra nice to me!!! My boss gave me a
loaf of pecan cake, me neighbors invited me for dinner once, and a
friend who graduated packed me a days meal before she packed and left.

So far,
exercise = 0 diet = 0 weight loss = 0 weight gain = 2

But it's all good, it's the season!!! Lifes good!

Kit-Kat

Umm .. love the kit-kat commercial which shows people snap a bar and break it into 2 and take a bite with the sounds of all three acts.

On other thoughts. started watching Man vs. Food... awesome series. that guy can kill himself eating so much food. but i love the food they show. and surprisingly it makes me full.

Netflix rocks. Grooveshark rocks. Best buy rocks. Black Friday does not.

Oh btw s, I doubt that you will read this. but in case you had, you would have know you were getting a surprise tomorrow.
