I am turning into a movie buff really..... and more you see European movies, more you detest these hollywood flicks. There is no soul in these movies. Some are exceptional agreed, but most are shit specially in creativity and artistic quality. And why the fuck an american needs to save this world in the end of every fcking action movie. Shit!!!!
Resisting the temptation to politicize this.
A List of movies which are complete, and couldn't have been made better.
1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Life is beautiful
3. Pan's labyrinth
4. Forrest Gump
5. OldBoy
Disclaimer: This list is not complete, as I have not seen all of them out there.
Recommendations are always accepted whole heartedly.

Bill Hicks: A dark poet
Stand-up comedy means different things to different people. For some its a shelter from everyday chores for an hour of laughs, for some its a run away from thinking,
for some its a whacky hour...... Bill didnt satisfy any of them.
He wasnt a seinfeld talking about people in supermarket, or a russell peters talkin about indians in US, or dave chapelle about black people in US and babes in discos,
nor was he banal, cheap and absurd like dane cook, nor pointless like robin williams.
And likewise neither was he popular.
'Why do people wear crosses around their necks??? Do you think if Jesus ever come backs, he would ever wanna see a f***ing cross!!!'
You wouldnt pay to hear lots of foul words, mockin of religions and fundamentalists and an idea of spending an hour or two hearing a person promoting smoking, drugs and talkin abt pornoraphy wont be the best that came in your mind. Maybe thats why he became angrier as he went on performing, before his premature death due to cancer.
"Mister my father died for that flag.
Well...... I bought mine for 3 bucks.
Mister my father died in korean war for that flag.
What a coincidence... my flag says "made in korea"
Thats freedom for you my friends: people dying in wars to buy freedom for people to burn their flags"
Maybe I have never laughed as hard on hicks, as I did when seinfeld talked about cows and milk, but I always felt connecting to bill more than anyone. It was never slapstick or cheap....
will continue.....

Long time......
Writing after a long long time, but still dont have anything to write. Surprising....
I have very less in my mind to write these days...
I can do just one thing "play the waiting game....."
i cant go anywhere..... have no ideas.... no directions.....
just standing in middle..... and waiting....
let me equip myself.......

"I'm alive...When I'm eating, that's all I think about. If I'm on the march, I just concentrate on marching. If I have to fight, it will be just as good a day to die as any other. Because I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. You'll see that there is life in the desert, that there are stars in the heavens, and that tribesmen fight because they are part of the human race. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we're living right now." (p. 88-89)
"Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny...It's a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realize your destiny. It prepares your spirit and your will, because there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth...The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation. All things are one...In the long run, what people think about shepherds and bakers becomes more important for them than their own destinies." (p. 22 - 24)
