An Ode to One Very Mediocre Man

You think you are a king Who makes Vikings. But what you really need is a shrink So that you can shrink  Your ego Which makes you think everyone except you deserves to go. Why do you think you are better? Why are you always bitter? Just because she is chubby Doesn't mean she wants you as her hubby. Do you think it is funny To play with someone's every penny? Do you think you will go to heaven? You stupid fucking heathen. Everyone is waiting for you in hell So get dressed well And be prepared to tell What you did to deserve to go to hell.

An Ode To The Losers

You found a new way To make me miserable everyday So that I would leave this hell Well, Sure, I will go So that you my foe Can rest in peace In your kingdom of grease I don't need your fees I can find another way to buy Chinese You and your hoes Think that you three are superheroes But you're just losers Who think they're choosers You are just modern day slaves Who will be buried in graves With nothing but computer dust Because all else you turned into rust.

Reviews of Recently Released Movies (Part 3)

A Haunting in Venice This movie is based on a book by Agatha Christie called 'Halloween Party'. I have not read the book yet and maybe I won't ever read it because I did not like the movie that much. I was very excited about the movie since I am a huge Agatha Christie fan. But I was disappointed that the movie did not match my expectations. I felt like it lacked method. Usually, in Christie novels, the main thing is how Poirot finds out who the killer is. The final reveal is what we all wait for, the climax to the whodunnit. But, here, the climax seemed too short, too brief, too shallow. I liked the setting, the plot, but was disappointed by the ending. I was hoping for it to be something more grander. Anyway, I would still give it a 3/5 stars. Also, the movie is about how Poirot is retired and yet he is invited by a murder mystery writer to a seance. He does not believe in ghosts and busts the tricks of the people who are conducting the seance. One by one, in the same nigh...

Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 3)

'Youth and Truth : Unplug with Sadhguru' This book has the questions which were asked to Sadhguru while he visited educational institutions across India. This book also has the answers to those questions as were answered by Sadhguru. The book has around 200 something pages. And I am done with about 100 something pages. So I have completed half of the book. Thus far, I have found it interesting and enlightening. Sadhguru seems to be a man full of wisdom and his words are so helpful and illuminating. The questions asked are from a variety of topics ranging from education, career, self development, integrity, spirituality, yoga, religion etc. I hope to complete the book soon. 'Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us' by Daniel H Pink I am reading this book through Kindle and I have completed about 7% of it as of now. I have just started reading it and yet I feel like this book has a very important message and I feel like I could learn and implement a lot of thi...

Surnames and Last names

Why are children always given the initial of their father as their surname and their father's last name as their last name? Even though we say that there is gender equality and blah blah blah. We don't really have it, do we? Because this patriarchal notion is not even questioned, it is followed everywhere blindly to an extent that I don't even know what my grandmother's surname and last name before marriage was. And that brings us to the next issue, why do women have to take their husband's initial as their surname and their husband's last name as their last name? What is the necessity for this? Okay, maybe some might argue that it gives their names a kind of uniformity. But there are other ways to achieve uniformity, aren't there? How about we eradicate the concept of surnames completely and just have last names which are hyphenated. So say the wife's name is Julianna Potter before marriage and the husband's name is Henry Taylor, after their marriag...

Woman

What it means to be a woman? It means you are always considered less than a man The problem isn't just men. It is also women Who bring other women down And make them frown And drown And contribute to their grown Sense of sorrow Which is carried to tomorrow. More than a man could ever hurt me A woman's hate haunts me. How can you be so cruel, To someone who is like your own mural? How can you be so naive? If you want to thrive, Work on your own shine. Your name will be written in the bad books of the divine. For you have injured someone who is weak, Even though you are at your peak. You think you are winning. But you are only sinning. You think you can escape. But God in his supreme cape, Will punish you for the sins you made. You think you are safe in the shade Of a man. But I believe in God's plan. God made me in his own image And gave me every privilege. I am not afraid of your behavior Because I have God as my savior. Every wish has been granted Every tree that I planted...

Are We Mere Pellets in a Corncob?

 I feel like organizations and corporations are corncobs and we are pellets. Without us, the organization cannot function but individually we don't stand out. We are one amongst many. We are not valued for our creativity, non-conformity or individuality. We are valued for doing monotonous and repetitive tasks. Burnout is encouraged. Work life balance is discouraged. Just like how the pellets are attached to the corncob, corporations want us individuals to work for them all the time without having a life of our own. They expect us to leave our family and relocate to the city from where they operate. They expect us to sign documents that prohibit us from working for other companies. Because obviously a pellet cannot be in two corncobs at once. People who have no life other than their work life are the ones who are given better projects, more authority and frequent promotions. Whereas people who struggle are made to struggle some more until they are finally probably let go. In order f...
