Hi People,
Hello People. I'm back. Just to post a test I took to check what kinda funny guy I am. I haven't updated my blog in quite some time....I'll do it after my treks.

CLEAN | COMPLEX | LIGHT Your humor has an intellectual, even conceptual slant to it. You're not pretentious, but you're not into what some would call 'low humor' either. You'll laugh at a good dirty joke, but you definitely prefer something clever to something moist. You probably like well-thought-out pranks and/or spoofs and it's highly likely you've tried one of these things yourself. In a lot of ways, yours is the most entertaining type of humor because it's smart without being mean-spirited.

I took this Harry Potter quiz which say what character I am more similar to. I've taken such quizzes before, and thrice before it's shown me as Dumbledore and once as Remus Lupin.
You scored as Albus Dumbledore. Strong and powerful you admirably defend your world and your charges against those who would seek to harm them. However sometimes you can fail to do what you must because you care too much to cause suffering.

This is the price I pay for trying to be a friggin smartass in English Class. I landed a 1000 word essay on Erotic Literature from Arulster for calling out Erotica as a genre of Literature in his class. Apprently, I shouldn't have mentioned that I got inspired from his website. Aajkal sachchai ka bol-bala khatam hi ho gaya hai!

They say that the most primal and innate instinct or action of man is Fornication (yeah, marriage is just a license to screw). After all, life is defined by a multitude of biologists as ‘Preservation and Propagation of DNA’. When humans moved on from eating raw flesh and savagely assaulting each other for petty things like sleeping space, and settled down in communities, the first thing they did; other than fornicate; was develop a means of communication. Writing began. When humans realized that they could use their cerebrum for things other than running, walking, jumping, eating, screwing and screaming, they sought to invest their intellect in constructive writing. They began writing to chronicle their civilisation’s progress, events, facts, discoveries and legends. Some of them specialised in writing, and when they became jobless, literature came into being. Imagination took flight into various realms; realms of heroic valour, realms of love, realms of creativity and Natural Philosophy. How could the most primal instinct of man be left behind?
Who said the Indian Civilisation looks upon sex as something that shouldn’t be blatantly exhibited, otherwise some unknown booming voice from the heavens will render you unable to reproduce? The most celebrated and ancient of erotic literature is from our land; the
On careful perusal of the Mahabharata, you will encounter various erotic references. Of course, you’ll have to be corrupt of mind and filthy of thought to come across them...yeah, I have indeed come across them, draw your own conclusions. There are vivid descriptions of Krishna courting Gopikas and his misdemeanour, the birth of Karna and the other Pandavas, the Arjuna – Subhadra saga, the conception of Babruvahana in the
Not much of eroticism was seen in literature until the dawn of the Romantic Era. Although Shakespeare’s plays are simple to comprehend at one glance, they are swathed in multiple layers of complexly webbed emotions. Eroticism is one of them. Examine the behaviour of a voyeuristic and pandering Puck in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ where he is flummoxed by the fact of lack of passionate lovemaking among humans when they are able to do it; or the adolescent cravings of a not-yet-fourteen Juliet in Romeo and Juliet when she says, ‘If he be married, my grave is like to be my marriage bed’. This particular verse is very compelling upon the belief that Shakespeare was a damned pervert –
Give me my Romeo; and when he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of Heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
In Anthony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare embarks on a very vivid account of how Cleopatra exacts the virgin-like virility and enthusiasm of Anthony, by not being straightforward, but manipulative and seductive.
Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies; for vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish.
Virtually every Shakespearean heroine from Rosalind and Viola to
In the Victorian Era, the non-committal and snobbish English Genteel rebuffed blatant exhortation of sexuality and erotica. Though most writers restricted their hormones from spilling over into their books, some of them flouted norms and wrote with a disdain. Jane Eyre’s burning desire for
By the 18th century, Erotic Fiction as a separate genre had started to take shape. Though they occupy a mainstream literary slot, they often fall short of the quality of more serious literature. Though, towards the end of the 19th century, a more 'cultured' form of erotica began to appear. This was associated with the Decadents, in particular, with Aubrey Beardsley and the Yellow Book. But it was also to be found in
In the 20th Century, many pulp fiction authors tend to lace their novels with heavy doses of sex and eroticism, that it sometimes becomes tough to draw a line between Erotica, Romanticism and the like. Harold Robbins and Sidney Sheldon are noted for vivid sexual imagery in their work. Mario Puzo illustrates erotica and lovemaking as a very basic need of man, using the Italian principles and society as a backdrop, highlighting the egotistic connotation of eroticism among the Mafia. Mills and Boon novels masquerade as Romance Fiction, while all the time they vulgarly disrobe the female form and use her as an abject model for the quenching of sexual thirst. And then there are the numerous ha’ penny books that come under the huge umbrella of cheap press, which do not even merit a discussion, thank you very much. My suggestion is, go to any old bookstall which sells dime novels by the dozen and experience them yourselves.
Although I am not very familiar with Indian writing, there seems to be a very fine sense of balanced eroticism among the modern Indian writers in English. Khushwant Singh is notorious for his risqué humour and obsession with the female form. ‘In The Company of Women’ is a book that he wrote when he was in his late 80s. Viagra companies need to ascertain the secret of his ripeness. R K Narayan very poignantly used sex to illustrate the importance of it between married couples in the Indian Society.
Mikhail will continue about the development of Erotica in the 20th Century.
Okay, this is really really hilarious. Please don't laugh while beating your arse in public.

I took this quiz which could apparently calculate my mental age, by a series of logistics that only an eccentric with his head in place of his posterior, would understand. Fantastically, it returned this result -

Might as well face it, you're a little addicted to love. You won't do anything for love, but sometimes you do more than you should. No one's worth losing your head for - because in the end you'll only lose your heart. Don't avoid falling in love. Just make sure you don't get too hooked. |
Well, I just get out of that cell phone theft mess satisfactorially, and I get into more trouble!
Tuesday morning dawned fine and fresh. I drove to the Hotel during breakfast time and asked around if the SI had dropped in for his daily free gift. They directed me to the nearest party hall saying he had informed them that he'd be there.
Shehnai maestro Ustad Bismillah Khan passed away due to a heart attack in Varanasi early morning on Monday. He was 91.
Khan, who was hospitalised and put on intravenous drip after a brief illness, breathed his last at 3.30 in the morning.
He had been admitted to the Heritage Hospital in the city on Thursday after his health reportedly started deteriorating following illness.
Born on March 21, 1916, Khan was awarded the Bharat Ratna in 2001.
He was also honoured with the Sangeet Natak Academi Award, the Tansen Award and the prestigious Padma Vibhushan.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His ancestors were court musicians in the princely state of Dumraon in Bihar and he trained under his uncle, the late Ali Bux `Vilayatu’, a shehnai player attached to Benares's Vishwanath Temple. He brought the shehnai to the center stage of Indian music with his concert in the Calcutta All India Music Conference in 1937. It was Khan Sahib who poured his heart out into Raga Kafi from the Red Fort on the eve of India’s first Republic Day ceremony.
Khan has honorary doctorates from the Banaras Hindu University and Visva Bharati University, Santiniketan. He has been awarded the Sangeet Natak Academi Award, the Tansen Award of the Madhya Pradesh government and also the prestigious Padma Vibhushan.
Despite his fame, Khan's lifestyle retains its old world Benares charm. His chief mode of transport is still the cycle rickshaw. A man of tenderness, he believes in remaining private, and that musicians are supposed to be heard and not seen. He is a pious Shia Muslim and also, like many Indian musicians regardless of creed, a devotee of Mother Saraswati.

The description of the girl they gave me, matched 99% with a girl we knew as 'Greeno'. There's an interesting story behind her. On the first day of college, Abhishek, Chinmoy and I were dejectedly loafing around cursing the fact that there were no hot chicks on campus. And in walks this Greeno lady from the ground. She had fine thick hair, an unblemished pretty striking sharp face, and a cute petite frame. And those killer kajal lined eyes. She had worn a green t-shirt, so we christened her 'Greeno'. Hehe.
Hello people.
Hello All.
It’s Been Quite Long A Journey
Seems a while, seems certainly a little while....
I take up my pen to write, write what?
Words fail me; I know not what to write....
Is it that memories shroud memories?
Are the ghosts of my past way-laying emotions?
Words fail me; I know not what to write.
Seems a while, seems certainly a while....
I finger my piano, to render what?
Chords fail me; I know not what to play....
Is it that complacency restricts symphony?
Are my past blunders taunting my present?
Chords fail me; I know not what to play.
Seems a while, seems certainly a while....
I look out my window, to see what?
It breezes no more; I know not what to feel
Is it that nature has sensed my apprehension?
Are the forces making me atone for deeds undone?
It breezes no more; I know not what to feel.
Seems a while, seems certainly a while....
I try to delve deep; to remember what?
Pictures fail me; I know not what to see...
Is love taking precedence to reason and instinct?
Are vices taking charge of Faith, long committed?
Pictures fail me; I know not what to see.
Yes, it has certainly been a while,
Memories, I hold near to my heart...
All along in this hike over the brambly path of life
They sole my feet and bind my heart,
Against the cold....the cold of darkness,
Which comes along thick and crisp now...
I can hear the wind howling ominously,
I can sense the mist come down stiflingly,
Blanketing the hard cold earth on which I lie.
Waiting and waiting....for what? I know not.
And yet I wait. Is this not the irony of existence?
This sense of Deja vu? What goes up must come down?
