barking at the wrong tree

well it started with a video I was watching on fb,,, it was published by PETA,,, advising very passionately to turn oneself into vegetarian,, and using arguments like how it is inhuman behaviour to use animals for our own benefits and how healthy it could be for a person to turn him/herself in a vegetarian....
now tat started a chain of thought,,, we as a human are we really responsible for other inhabitants of this planet,,, means should it matter to me that whether or not my fellow non homosepians getting there fair share of planet or not...can we realistically afford to BE A Human...is that a sustainable proposition in first place?
everything that we do to further our dominance on this planet can easily be described as in-human,,, we dig up earth to extract metal for our fancy motorcycle,,, we we do drilling in sea and deserts to get oil to run these devils of machines... we contaminate air by gases,,, we pollute sea with oil spills, fishing and wat not,,,
if we were to give animals, plants, sea there share of planet,,, we will need to finish off at least 80% of our population and go back to stone age,,, so they can have a there earth back...
are we ready to do that??? I dont know,,, I guess it would be difficult to garner supermajority required to do that,,,
one last point,, I sometime come across arguments stating how GOD gonna sit on his mighty throne and judge us all one fine day,,, now what I was thinking is that if this almighty fella is even slightly concerned about our treatment of our fellow nonhomospeians,, he would order all of us to burn in hades pit for rest of eternity,,,
so those who check there behaviour in light of good and bad,,, need not worry,,, we all are DOOMED,,, and hell we dont want to do anything about it,,, DO WE???

rules of convenience

my first encounter was in class 9,,, tat time I used to sit in first row of class (guys dont take it otherwise,,, I was young and stupid,,, and beside my class had only two rows... it was very small,,, 12 kids in all)... so coming back to point... a new gal take admission (taking the total to wat 4,,, yeh guys ratio was decent),,, so now wat happens is tat,, I was told to make place for the gal (till than my cousin used to share a bench with me,,, now it was decided that new gals should sit there)...
well I protested,,, to whom?? to my English teacher,, who also happens to be principal and a open supporter of similar treatment for boys and gals,, in his lectures given at prayer time... my argument was simple... well boys and gals r same,,, she can sit with anyone she wants to,,, wats the big deal??? y u want gals to be stuffed in a close pack,, its supposed to be co-ed...
his statement was also simple,,, NO... u got to make place for her,,, she needs it,,, I asked Y?,,, he said cause she is gal,,,
next wat... well u know
I was forcefully moved to the last row (practically second row,, figuratively last row) (and afterwards I always stayed in last two rows of class,,, not to show my everlasting protest,,, well its kinda comfortable back there)...
well result was,,, my image among gals was hurt,, SERIOUSLY,,,
well next school, coaching and college could be best described as boys only for all practical purposes,,, barring some cultural fest days,,, they never gave me much chance to interact and eventually pick up a fight with gals...
scene changes,,, cut to Bombay,,,
I realized tat in certain places there is a rule called stag entry and couple entry,,,
if u happen to belong to a bunch of single guys,, and dont have any fairer sex to accompany u,, either u need to pay extra money,,, or u r simply not accepted,,, well its ok,,, they have some decorum to maintain,,, and must be having some sort of minimum sex ratio rule (like some hotshot companies do),,, I assumed so and was kinda ok with it...
scene changes,,, cut to Bangalore,,,
now there r places where if u go in a group of guys only,,, u need to pay entry fee,,, gals r obliged with free entry,,, (I can name one place,,, but I guess there must be others also,,, so I m not putting tat one name also)...I wasnt very happy with the thing,,, but WTH,,, its just about entry,,, after tat its ok...
scene changes,,, cut to Chennai,,, (I havent visited Chennai yet,,, this information is acquired during conversation with a very good friend of mine)
now there r places where gals r provided with FREE BOOZE,,, and at the same time guys need to shell out hard earned papers printed with coloured photo of father of our nation...
now the point I m talking abt is isnt there a mass hypocrisy going on,,, supported by... well all parties involved,,, means have u ever encountered a situation where any of ur female friend/colleague complaining about any such thing,,, well I coudnt,, if u,, pass me the contact,, I shall fell very much obliged and happy to meet someone like that...
dont think I m against hypocrisy,,, nop I m not,,, I do things I advice others not to do,,, hell I like it and I m proud of it,, why??? precisely because I have earned it...(stolen from one of my fav movie ;)
so wat is the whole point of all this,,, simple one liner,,,
gals plz dont say treat us equally,,, cause u dont want tat,,,
and guys hell u cant do anything,,, u r already mesmerized by her smile,,, u r one hopeless case,,,:P... and as usual I m no exception,,,
so I would rest my case,,, with a line: "everybody follows rules of convenience,,,we all are selfish... only difference is between whether u can accept it or not "

color value of time

yeh I am back,,, feels like I m having lots of time to kill or may be I have lost any regard watsoever I used to have for such a precious quantity,,, means comeon,, wat is the use of ur time,, its urs,, all urs,,, nobody can take it away,,, all they can do it try and change ur feelings towards it,,, but those feelings that u r so jealously protecting, are they real?
I was thinking why they say,, live in present not in past or future,,, can we actually do tat??? no matter how much I m convinced that my past was a glorious era,,, I cant go and live in it.... and though I have lots of expectation from my future,,, if I m ruining my present for tat,,, my ideas says I m cheating with former self of mine,,, who had a hope for a better future ( which happens to be present of mine)...so dont worry abt future,,, and past toh is the biggest looser...u know a happy past usually bring pain,,, and a painful one a smile,,, so how does one handle this black and white puzzle,,, what is black today will change to white tomorrow,,,
maybe this concept of black and white is flawed,,, what if there is no white,,, only black,,, white is just a combination of lots of colors,,,maybe at the start of time when someone was not able to explain what this mixture means he named it white,,, and we all jumped upon it as THE big thing,,, for all we know happiness could be just an illusion,, created to keep mankind busy,,,
huh!! who cares,, given a chance what would u choose,,, "a fools heaven" or "a hell made up of reality"... choice is not so difficult,,,
anyways dont take life so seriously,,, nobody gets out of it alive,,,
