i am on the outside,
i am looking in,
i can see through you,
see your true colors,
coz inside you're ugly,
ugly like me,
i can see through you,
see the real you.

the team went for a shoot in the grasslands. the main objective of the documentary being wolves. the final edited video showcased wolves in packs. what went unnoticed was the lone wolf. surrounded by the pack during hunts, company was easy to come by. otherwise the wolf walked alone. it lacked the courage to move with someone. to care for someone. when company did come by, the wolf's life revolved around it. it was a emotion that it craved. which was precious. scared to lose it. while other wolves moved around with someone, the ease of it was alien to the wolf. it coudnt be with someone coz the feeling scared him, the feeling of hurting or being hurt. selfish and not selfish at the same time. it had no courage to admit its own loneliness. had no courage to be with someone. the more you want something, the harder you fall. its something that the wolf had learnt. it would have laid the world at someones feet. but what if it was kicked away. being perenially devoid of someone , it was habitually jealous. the lone wolf never gathers attention. the name attracts loneliness. and it only grows.
the new pinnochio themed avengers trailor is simply epic. ultron gatecrashes the avengers party simply stating you have strings on you. and the trailor ends with him saying i have no strings on me. the new movie is something different because it moves to a new level of dark. no cheeky lines by stark this time around. instead he is seen fighting hulk and being held by thor. finally glad the movies are moving away from the feel good disney theme towards the actual comics. a more realistic potrayal of the heroes. everyone is against ultron but there are significant cracks in the thoughts and beliefs of the individual members. and also we have scarlet witch and quicksilver. will be interesting to see how they add up into the story.
after the recent amazing guardians of the galaxy, thor releases building upto the infinity stones story avengers is a refreshing change. with marvels phase 3 giving captain marvel a individual movie, in the coming few years there is going to be no dearth of awesomeness.
heavy metal wish list - ultron takes over decepticons. stark and jarvis take over jaegers.
fight ensues.
cue music.
You'll never take the heart that beats inside of me
You don't have what it takes
It's safe to say there's gonna be a price to pay
When our worlds collide
The disguise you hide behind won't save you now
So let's fuel the fire and burn it to the ground
As our worlds collide
Trip the wire, the sky comes crashing down
When our worlds collide
short sighted idiots with a conscience are the ones to avoid. coz most of the times they are just gunning it along. fall in line with them and you wont even notice something is wrong until its too late. coz they then develop a plausible sounding logic and a conscience around it. makes you wonder for a moment. doubt. while they are still doing what they do the best. gunning it along. the sudden bout of emotions and guilt will leave you guil ridden for a while. but look at the bigger picture and the fog clears. some would argue that maybe thats what we are all doing. but the fallacy in this argument lies in the word maybe. i could attach any point to the word maybe and make it a valid point. the truth is everyone is just trying to warp reality according to how they want it to be. how they feel it should be. and they start to perceive it as that. the difference here is that the smart ones think and act.
----------------------------------------------
there are only so many times you can take it. only so many times you can forgive. you can forgive but not forget. if a slave does not realise that he is being inhumanly treated, that does not make it right. just coz you have made up solid reasons in your mind to clear your conscience, does not mean you are right.
angst is the rich kids alternative to real problems.
in a nation where the youth is bawling out about freedom and more progressive rights, its amazing to see how their actions reflect otherwise. herd mentality. they complain about how regressive the society structure is. yet they lack the courage to go against it in their very homes. the society is not gonna change becasue you have suddenly realised that something is wrong. the society is you. you have to change. they have found very easy outlets for all these problems. a visit to any social media site reveals this. you will see an average person who has suddenly comprehended something way too advanced. and decides to share it with the world. the average world again appreciates this. and the person revels in this newfound self pride. and so grows the collection of confident and progressive individuals. which eventually turns to words for everything. action recedes to the background. and one fine day they all wake up. and cry out asking why things are still as they were. why hasnt anything changed. change is an action. not a thought. what is worse is these very individuals are so into themselves, justifyng what they do is progressive, that they start to believe they are above the crowd. that they have these high principles which puts then above the average tom dick and harry. that the way they think is so progressive that maybe humanity is too amateur to think that way, much less comprehend it. fools never realise their foolishness. its easy to blame the people around you. that you are ready to go that extra mile. but people around are so stupid that they wont get up. that you are all whats right with the world. they are whats wrong. and in a condescending moment you declare that there is no hope for these "backward" people .
they crave ratification of their views. justification of their actions. not above the crowd. a part of the crowd after all.
to have bared your self, bared your very soul. and then to realise that for them, it was nothing but a spicy story.
thats the thing with keeping people close . you can never know what you are too them. coz people are self centered by nature. while you may consider them to be the center piece of your symphony, you are but a filler for them.lies and deception all the way. hiding the truth in itself is a lie. you are not smart if you deceive people. its just that they trust you. trust you to be better. trust you to rise above the crowd.
knowledge is power, but knowledge is also dangerous. coz when the deception comes to light, trust is washed away in the flood.
kaisi ye judai hain,
aankh bhar meri aayi hain,
mera dil doob raha,
isse bas ab doobne do,
ye pehli baar hua,
ye kyun ahsaas hua,
mera dil tut raha,
isse bas ab tutne do.

deception is the key to happiness. as long as you are orchestrating it. realising that you have been the subject of deception isnt exactly pleasant. the power to mould people and actions around you as you want. its a heady feeling. the feeling of superiority. hiding facts is also deception. propagating honorable principles is also deception. people are in general very good at deception. and are always on the guard. which brings us to the conclusion that if someone does become a subject of your deception, they trust you.
people have high principles about life. it becomes fun when they are actually put into situations. the perfect theory falls apart. they fall apart. there is a bridge between thoughts and actions. people dont even realise it. its easy to stand on the thought side and spew out numerous perfect theories. but its also important to realise that the bridge needs to be crossed when the time comes to act on the theory. and while crossing this bridge into action, the theory will change. it will reflect your actions. but fools dont realise this. put them into a situation and they forget abt the bridge and they jump. the theory falls into nothingness. basic primal emotions take over. all logic is lost. the understanding of this reality is what makes a person great.
we are all pseudo-intellectuals - Anonymous (seriously anonymous)
people consider themselves to be intellectuals if they can form a view about something put forward to them. Something which is logical does not have to be practical. they measure their intellect by the ability to come up with a counter-argument to something that is said. that is not intellect. true intellect enables you to take in all all that is possible and come up with a conclusion. you cannot put forth your point first and then give counter-arguments to any point put against it. that is idiotic at the least. lying to yourself. for example if someone puts forth a point that they do not like studying, a counter argument that even teachers don't like teaching is flawed. because you have completely missed the crux of the statement. the point of the statement was that it was the person's personal preference. you cannot simply generalize it and put forward a point against it. its stupidity.this is one such example. its very easy to identify pseudo-intellectuals. they will have a point about everything under the sun. give them a topic. and they will rant about it so passionately like they have indeed given this years of thought. let alone years they wouldn't even have given it a minutes thought. also they will tend to weave all their points around one single thought/concept that is going around in their mind, for eg.freedom. they are actors, who put forward a face, that is just a projection of how they want the world to perceive them as. Empty words. fickle minded.
"i want the world to see me as the most kickass person alive. hence i will put forward a apt face and act for them."
RIP Robin Williams.
and yes there are a lot of pseudo-intellectual thoughts going around about Robin Williams. I can bet most of the people only remember him as that guy in Jumanji.
A study was conducted on a wide non-existent population. below is the result of the same.
participants: Generation X (hereinafter referred to as X) Generation Y (hereinafter referred to as Y) Generation Z (hereinafter referred to as Z, comprises the alpha generation as well)
*roll up curtains* Enter Morgan Freeman "only generation Z will be able to see to completion of widespread and cheap space travel." Exeunt Morgan Freeman *curtains down*
Firstly there is no consensus on which generation qualifies as being being born in which year. Accordingly we shall roughly say that Y are the ones born during the 90's (+-2 yrs). Accordingly we can conclude that X precedes Y and Y precedes Z. after this complex piece of logic we shall in earnest, try to keep such complexity at the minimum.
>> X was a generation born in the so called dark ages. they were brought up in an environment where the threat of war loomed realistically.
>>Y was a generation born to these X gen people. even though there was no such danger, X ensured that Y was brought up in a way that they were always prepared for the worst.
>>Z was born and brought up in and age where war was history.
>>X had to fight and work for basic necessities. poverty was widespread and innovation was the need of the hour. Hence almost all the technological innovations happened during that age. X was ambitious, realistic and prepared to go that extra mile. Failure was an option to them. internet was a dream.
>>Y already had the necessities in place. they had to work for the luxuries now. ideally they should have had an option. but no. Since X brought them up, they ensured that Y is always prepared. in doing so what eventually happened is that Y faced a very constricted environment. the passing time taught them to be more open but the upbringing ensured that they always had a fear at the back of their mind. this is the generation that is sexually frustrated. and lonely. instead of focusing their energy in innovation they lean more towards procreation. they do have the intellect to think but they are weak in resisting the pleasures of the flesh. a materialistic lot. internet became a necessity. social life involves lots of messaging and social sites.
>>The luxuries of Y have now become the necessities of Z.they live in a liberated world where survival is a concept that is alien to them.sex is not a luxury. they live in a highly connected world.
hence this is the generation that is most likely to innovate. to come up with new things. to act on their dreams. on their ambition. to achieve what they think.
