LoL!

“75% of the 1 billion population of India are vegetarians of which 90% live in south where Bombay that produces the leading vegetarian film actresses is located.”

This was written in bold letters above pics of Madhuri Dixit & Manisha Koirala in an Indian Vegetarian Restaurant (well, more like a college mess) in London!

 

A new beginning

“All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.” – Aristotle.

I am back for some reason – maybe a desire for communicating, a desire that probably arises from a homo sapien’s basic nature/need for social interaction or simply out of compulsion? I don’t really know and just for now I’ll try not to think about it. 

But what drove me to give up my old blog – perhaps it was my cynicism.  Ah, Cynisim! I lived in a state of denial for long about being called a cynic. I tried a billion times to prove that I wasn’t one. I even considered joining some kind of self help group on the Internet for the cynics. In one such delirious attempts of ‘self-improvement’ I landed on this article that said some really nice stuff about our clan. But seriously, I had to then admit that I had all the traits of a person the society calls cynic. So heck, here I am leading a cynic’s life; and if you aren’t one then believe me, it ain’t easy. Yeah, we cynics are lazy but the activity of mind can tire you more than the body!

We don’t sneer and jeer for nothing you know! We aren’t hopeless, actually we hope for too much, which becomes the problem. We don’t disbelieve in goodness, but believe in virtue so much that we always want to see it in our world. I could go on but I don’t want to make it seem like I am justifying. I am merely saying people, cynicism is not a curse!
