In My Line of Sight

I have previously written a post about pessimism in which I have expressed my notion that better.
Why I am bringing this is that, to be frank, this is not getting as much traffic as I expected and more than that Im not getting enough time for posting here. And its pretty difficult to run two blog at a time. My other blog The Techies is going pretty well, so I’m giving more attention to that and stopping this blog.
May be I may come back sometime later to revive it.
If you somehow happen to read this blog visit my other blog The Techies.

Don’t let the name give the wrong impression, it NOT for geeks.

The Techies gives you tips and tricks on computer, internet and other technical items to help you become that cool guy behind the keyboard does everything in just a few clicks. It lets you know what all things (softwares, websites, gadgets etc) to use and what not to use. And if you are an astrophysics fan, then The Techies is the place for you- with posts on cosmology in general. The blog gives you real time updates on Indian Space Program and especially the Chandrayaan mission.
Just give it a try.

Its often said that music has the power to influence human soul.I have never actually thought about it before, but now I find it perfectly true.
It was several years before that I got interested in Rock music, before that the only songs I enjoyed were classical or melodious type and considered Rock music ( especially Hard Rock) to be something really loud, annoying and angry type, without any real content.
It was my brother who introduced me to Rock, that too Linkin Park. He asked me to watch just one album – In the End. It was a real turning point – I became an instant fan of Linkin Park and through them Rock music. The main thing I found fascinating about Linkin Park is their selection of topic. The songs – Numb, Faint, Crawling etc were unbelievably wonderful with a really rich lyrics and the voices of Mike Shinoda and Chester. It was like singing about me or someone I know, the topics or should I say problems felt so familiar. Every album makes you think about various things – yourself, others or this world in general.
Their way of presentation too is top class. It was from them I got screaming technique. Scream out your sorrows, not literally. I find this urge to scream out when ever I am under stress. Well what I do is imagine myself to be screaming out like in the albums, I think it works.
Im not very sure if its right or not. Sometimes though I feel like being under some drugs or something.
Then came Evanescence!
It gave a complete makeover for my attitude towards Gothic art and music. I was not at all comfortable and interested in Gothic art, it gave me a creepy feeling. It felt so alien and fearful. But after hearing Bring Me to Life, I felt like… I dont really know. It was really fantastic. My other favourites from Evanescence include Going Under, Missing, Everybody’s Fool,My Immortal – Going Under being the favourite, thought everyone maynot approve of its visualization.
But even though I like all these, my most favourite songs are still melodious type. Almost all old Malayalam movie songs comes under this category and in my playlist too.
The one thing I learned from all this is that, “you cannot judge anything from the general package without getting to really know it“. I am sure its the same with people too.

Everyday you get to see a lot of things around you, both pleasing as well as revolting. Some of the repulsive things may haunt us for the rest of the day or even longer. One such incident happened to me a few days ago.
I was returning home after my university exams by bus contrary to usual practise of taking the train. I dont really remember where, but in some bus stand I had to see a really terrible scene. An old man was lying face down on the roadside. It was a really hot afternoon, and he was lying there without even a shirt. Actually he had a shirt which was lying close to him.Im not even sure if he was consious or not, but his bare back was really dark and full of sweat.
It was a really disturbing scene, I mean, I cannot in my wildest dreams imagine someone I know in his position.
I’m sure he was a beggar – there was a few coins scattered by his side. Why was he torturing himself like this? To get some extra cash? That may not sound like a genuine reason, but when you think from their postion, you may find an explanation. People will do any thing to vanquish their hunger.
Who is to be blamed for this? Like every time, I found the easiest one- an open goal post- the government. Arent they the one to be blamed? What can we do about it? Giving a few Rupees to them every now and then isnt gonna do any good.Ive heard of many government run old age homes or orphanages working here. What are they doing? Running an inn? And there are many Non Governmental Organisations too. What for? This is not about old people alone, There are countless number of small children lying in the streets. We all talk about children being the future of our nation. Arent they included in it? Shouldnt they be given education so as to serve our country well?
All that the government is doing is modifying or building a few roads or buildings, blaming each other, foreign visits, a bit more blaming.. They should care more about the people than anything else.
All they ever do is to gain some votes in the next election, they why should they care for those who doesnt have an ID card?
Why is my country like this? Will it ever get better?
