Rantings #1

hi.. wats up with all u guys/gals..??

Does all the maddening rush for a few cushioned seats in fewer PG institutes making ur brain go all woozzy...?? want do really chill out..?? do u want to make it all go away.. by reading something soothing, relaxing and funny..??

THEN WAT THE F*** ARE U DOING HERE..??

go read some obscure poem about fluffy bunnies and ponies and 'oh cho chweet babies'..
This is The Count's rant.. and it might turn out nasty..

So.. as The Count was returning to his home there was this huge marching parade thingy going on, celebrating 'janma-ashtmi' blocking a full road.. with loud-ass speakers and slow moving trucks.. and a lot of people wearing saffron.. not to mention.. followed by a big traffic jam causing many honks and fuel guzzling vehicles puffing out smoke.

Now.. now.. The Count is not an atheist per se.. but it is this phony excuse of a religious celebration that pisses his nerves off..hell it is almost as bad as people asking u questions with blatant obvious answers, like-

"oh.. so u r wearing a green shirt.."

"NO Sir.. u see it is a very cute shade of emerald and having about 1/100th of a yellow effect.. so no.. it not a green shirt.."- is The Count's response as beating people over the head is not yet legalized..

Ok.. back to the relevant topic.. so.. watsupwith all this stupid big ceremonies celebrating a faith that is supposed to be spiritual and 'satvik' in its very basic form.. The Count really cant stand these big, lavish spending on the name of 'yagya' or 'pujas'.. ok.. fine.. its not The Count's money that is being spend.. but he feels it should be put to a better use..

4 months ago a mandir close by had a theft of 50 laks.. hard cash.. 50 mthrfuking laks..!! They had 50 laks snoozing in their safes, donated daily by people for a "good" cause while there is a huge pile of beggars comprising little children lining every evening at the mandir's doorstep.. man.. talk about hypocrisy.
Also, as a student of economics (hey.. The Count PASSED.. alright..) it really appals The Count see all the cash lying idle.

Then there is the case of the long all nighters called 'jagarans' who rob all the people nere by of a sound sleep and r rounded up with a real fun show of the main singer acting all dreamy and claming GOD entering him... really.. the GOD..!! the supreme being...

The Count is not making fun of the religion.. He himself believe of a spiritual power.. a God and prays to it in his most dire needs.. (like a day before exam.. or when india/chelsea are losing) and remembers to thank it daily for what it has given to him, but what makes the thing worse is when MAN decides to take the idea about GOD and mould it for his benefit.. with a few of the self proclaimed big daddies of faith start a fight among all the people and tell them what to do/ not to do, just take a look at the works of RSS, VHP and who can forget gujrat..

Why, not just Hinduism.. u can see this for a fact in Islam (sania and skirts, a befuddling fatwa or two every other day), Christianity (banning homo/bisexuality and branding it unnatural.. Who the hell gave them the right to declare what is natural) and every other religion..

These are mainly the reasons The Count dont follow the orthodox way of praying.. he does not consider himself as an atheist but he does not follow any one religion too.. cause between every religion, he has find ample reasons to not to follow any one of them..
Peace out..

P.S. Two very awesome hindi movies coming.. this year for which The Count is totally pumped up..

Drona- gonna kick krissh's ass and

Dostana.. The Count hopes for once the issue of homosexuality is handled with dignity in hindi movies.. comedy is good but needless jokes are not welcome..
