Stumped!

Stumped! googlied! run out! (Inzamam Ul Haq style where u had no idea how could you get run out!) %^&*( %^&*( *()_+ ....>!!!!!

I mean, I am speechless it feels like I've grown in a Truman show where I was asked to believe in a particular world, and it turns out absolutely opposite!!!! OK. I will try to explain as much as I can, but beyond this I cannot do anything. Use your imagination, logic, background knowledge or what ever you want to use to get decipher what I want to say.

Hmm. clue number one. remember the moral science class? remember the course we covered? and remember the course we did not cover???

So the thing is, that the course we never covered was always assumed that we will cover by ourselves. Although, there were expectations all around you to know the course and score well in it, if there was a question asked.

Where were the questions asked? Right here!!! in real life!!!!!! God Damn!!! And what used to happen?? The questions were always ALWAYS out of course!!!! So there you are, who was not taught some particular chapters earlier, and then was indirectly told that everyone assumed that you knew the chapters and not only that, they also told you that every one in your batch knew the same stuff and therefore was expected to behave the same way. That was at least an assumption that you took with a sigh of relief, that the playing field is level.

5 years hence. You are in the real world with the education imparted to you at school, and home (most importantly), trying to find your place under the sun. To elaborate, now you are out there, (clue number two) trying to live your life socially, professionally, biologically, and ethically. And while you are trying to balance yourself on all the above mentioned ...ally's, you have nothing but those lessons you learnt in school.

So here is the meat. The lessons that you are using to balance your ...ally's with, include the lessons you never learnt in the first place!!!!!

So one fine day I am out in the big bad (really?) world, and I suddenly realize that other peers from my generation aren't even following the same rules!!!!! WHAT??? am I like the biggest C***** in the world to have believed what the 'others' wanted me to believe????

U know what it feels like? it feels as if u were fined a fortune by a traffic cop for having the wrong design of number plate (yes it happens), who later you found out was a fake!!!

I hope the clues helped you find out what I am talking about, or when u do find it out the hard way, lemme know... :(

Changing tunes of the world?

I was just reading the news report in Wall Street Journal about US senate approving the India nuclear deal. (The news article). I have been closely observing the tone of the news reported on this matter till now. WSJ and NY Times, both have been reporting on this, though not as highly as Indian media, obviously because there is a more serious issue of the financial crisis, election, blah blah to report on..

But till now, all news reported was highlighting that India is the 'needy' and US the giver. Not that this is not true, but have a look at this or this...

Although there were other stories that bordered on reporting without prejudices, but I get a feeling that sometimes it is hard for American press to see their govt bending backwards to bag new orders for their companies. The bottom line is that this deal will get US lots of jobs and lots of money! accept it! that's why US Govt. is all after getting the deal done. As they say, In politics there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, just permanent interests. I think they don't want to see the fact that it is indeed a time of reckoning for other nations to see eye to eye with US...

What do u think?
