well, i really wish i could nuke some people out of existence right now..but never mind...
went for a happening anti- war protest meet yesterday...happening...it was nice to see some people with their families...the way journalists were conducting themselves makes me squirm about my career...it was quite a gathering and a strong one too...well we did have our share of spoilt sports who said that attending such meetings is a waste of time, coz u can't stop the war, but hey, its my way of registering my protest and who knows people power may actually work...well, like krishna ananth says, never stop dreaming of the perfect world...
speaking of krishna ananth, hmmm....havent met anyone with so much of passion for his ideology in a long time...definitely would like to keep in touch with him forever...he is one reason why i have been inspired to read all my history books once again...he is also a reason why a mumbaiite like me has developed such a keen interest in politics in India and actually find it absorbing...its quite a difference coz i have always been told in school and at home that politics is a dirty game...
its really quite easy to be mediocre in life, easier being mediocre and rich, but much more satisfying to do a thorough job..and having the satisfaction that ur work is flawless, even though people may not have the depth to understand it...
that Talak guy fom Westminster...well nothing too great...i guess its just an overdose of tabloidisation...and not to mention dumbing down...thanks to ACJ, we can all do our PHDs in dumbing down...i really dont see the fuss all these high flying editors are creating...to being with newspapers are about people...they are for people...so you can't afford to be intellectual about everything that you are talkign about...for christs sake, get off your high pedestal, and write for the people...The Hindu is the most dreary paper ever...pretentious about almost everything ....so much so that you begin to doubt the intentions of the paper...love the Indian Express...very junta types...sometimes has crap, but hey, nobody is perfect...
