Zzzzzz....

Falling down..
and falling more..
i look up..
i hear myself snore..
i look around..
i hear the same sounds..
and then i look down..
and behold..
i am on the ground.

This dream i have..
and having..
has no bases..
has no bearing..
but this falling sensation..
is strangely familliar..
as i've had it before..
when i cannot snore.

Yes when i am awake..
and alive and well..
well behold..
a dark deep well.
Bricks around..
gurgling sounds..
but water there be none..
yes the snoring has begun.

But i am awake again..
and this time.. for sure!
i look around me..
well.. i look some more..
i see nothing..
i see no one..
i see an abyss..
bloody hell.. i think i'm falling.
but this time..
there be no snoring.

so what does this mean..
what may i infer..
is this death..
am i in hell..
but i thought i was alive..
i thought.. i was well.

these bricks surround me..
surround me some more..
claustrophobia astounds me..
these walls have no door..
i seem to be shaken..
i seem to be afraid..
why is this happening..
am i.. insane..

my pants feel wet..
but the well be dry..
my sphincter muscles have failed me..
yet my mouth has gone dry..
i suddenly feel myself rising..
rising out of this bore..
fun behold!
i am back.. outdoors!!
it is all so alluring..
and yet.. i hear myself snoring.

The Ugly, the Ugly and the Ugly.


So im thinking.. the elections between UPA and NDA have resulted in conversations on issues such as - Hindutva, Communalism, Secularism, Development, Human Rights, Religion et all.

i dont understand any of these conversations. I act like i do. I take a side. but the truth is, a few mins later im wondering whether my side is any better.
but then.. is it my side? or is it just 'a' side.

eitherways, i think one possible 'problem' is that we judge things on the basis of relativity. We say it is better, and not that it is good. but we've been doing this for so long, that our 'better' is eventually re-labled 'good'. Thus the next time we will have a conversation around that topic, we will say.. they are good. Which has to mean, the other side we are arguing against are bad. Thus we have just defined what is good and bad. bummer.

The congress - and my limited knowledge points at the delhi massacre involving Sindians*.
The bjp - and again, my limited knowledge highlights the gujrat massacre involving Mindians*.

So thus how can we say one is good, and one is bad. I have lately.. actually very lately.. or should i just say.. this very second.. come to the conclusion that maybe we never believed in good and bad. We just use them as labels for what is actually.. 'what i agree with' and 'what i do not agree with'. BUT then.. how can we agree with either. i'm probably not making any sense.. and strangely this may just be the most senseless post on this blog.. as of yet.

But i'd like to end by mentioning a movie i unfortunately could not watch.
'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'.. i think it was called. My guess is.. 'the Ugly' is supposed to imply.. that there is no such thing as good and bad.. everyone is plain UGLY.

U know why i voted for a paticular party.. i thought they were less UGLY. Relativity zindabad!


* yup.. it doesnt really deserve an explanation.
