The World is so Full of Idiots

Jilmitra spoke again and said, "And what of Idiots, master?"

"Look at all your peers, bosses, neighbors and friends – those so called successful men. Underneath it all, they do this all for their ‘women’. They work like mad for that fancy house their women want. Do you think these idiots will care to strive this hard, if all their women are happy to screw them in a card board box? Their drive comes from women who are clueless about what they want in life. Or women who have a screwed up value system that never keeps them happy anyway. Now tell me, isn’t the world so full of idiots?"

Then begged a loser, "Speak to us of spiritual gurus."

"They are fascists, actually. They have a ridiculously high level of ignorance to think that they have found something that others have not. They even go about designing packages for your spiritual growth. And they know nothing about you. They teach nothing close to creating an enlightened man. If not, the world will be so full of Buddha’s today, isn’t it? Wake up and see what kind of idiots these gurus are!"

Then a hip young man said, "Obama?"

"Are you telling me Obama has the clues? Hahaha. He or his army of advisors understand nuts about their own economical or political system. They are like these clueless doctors. They all experiment. They take actions that they themselves are not sure of and hope for the miracle to bring in the healing. Like pilots that turn a knob but has no clue of the internal engineering."


Then an old stressed project manager pleaded, "Speak to us of the subject-matter-experts."

"Their nonsense level on that subject is slightly higher than yours, that’s all. All these subjects have a great level of connection and dependency. Knowing only one subject in deep is of no use absolutely. The term ‘subject matter’ expert itself is ridiculously meaningless. What can I say of these subject matter idiots then?"

“Master, what of scientists? And men with originality?” demanded a woman who held a thick book against her bosom.

"Does any one really understand fully what lies beneath the oceans, the cosmos, the genes, the life, the matter, the purpose? Look at the history. Every now and then, some one puts forth a theory and that stands for centuries until some one else breaks it with another theory. The greatest damages to the world are done by this bunch of ignorant men."

"Those who claim they have the originality are the greatest liars. For there is no such thing as originality. Its only a matter how smart you are in hiding the sources. Or what kind of idiots you are dealing with."

And the world is so full of idiots.

The Stunts for Attention

Some little distraction here before we get on with rebooting the universe. I heard some comments about the writing style of that post (Reboot the Universe - part 1) from various channels. The notable one came from Dhaks, universally recognized as Maams. He said, “hmm...u were alright when I met you last... ”. The genius-unexplored Henry was seconding Maams that “its the usual (weird?) Raja” . Hahhaha. Well, my sanity seems to have left with you Maams. Hereafter, please don’t leave me and go! (Nah, this is not a marriage proposal by any means :P). But honestly, I had my serious doubts about how that style would be received. Actually, I don’t have any fixed style of writing. Nor themes or subject matters. I deliberately keep it that way. In acting, there is such a thing called ‘method acting’. I gathered that its where the characters prevailing above and over the identity or the mannerisms of the actor himself. Daniel Day Lewis! Check him out in IMDB and compare (his real looks with)

Reboot the Universe - Final

It started here Little Trisha has 2 things that I like in her. One - she loves reading. Just that her books have rats as the heroes. Duh!! I have been asking her to grow up. Second - she is random. Radiantly random. This was the recent random thing we did together. That day, she influenced me to a soya milk from the Jolly-Bean’s. Now, soya milk can be boring as sewage. So to give it a bang, they add these ‘chewy pearls’ to it. For the uninitiated, chewy pearls are tiny sweet balls, made using tapioca and dropped lovingly into your drink. If you ever crave to nibble and bite into a soft human body part, you shall try the chewy pearls. So we walked out, bought our cups and started drinking. Baby : Jokes time, Daddy! Daddy : Okay…. Where would a bored cow go? Baby : Where? Daddy : Moooooovie, of course! Ouch!! She giggled at that and got chocked with a chewy pearl. And in a short struggle, she managed to shoot it out of her throat onto the floor. First we thought of cleaning it up. But t

Gangs of New York

“On my challenge, by the ancient laws of combat, we have met at this chosen ground, to settle for good and all, who holds the sway over the Five Points!” Its the Dead Rabbits gang against the natives. As Bill roars, wielding his butcher’s heavy knife, I would already be there next to him in his gang of natives. With McGloin and Hellcat Maggie to my right. This is Martin Scorsese’s movie – “Gangs of New York" New York in the 1800s, was not a city but rather a furnace where a city someday might be forged. It was absolute mayhem and chaos everywhere. Everyone is fighting against every one else - immigrants with the natives, corrupt politicians with themselves, people against a pervasive poverty, 2 opposing police departments, hordes of looting fire brigades, cholera and a catastrophic civil war. “The Five Points” – a slum at the cross junction of 5 streets (Mulberry, worth, cross, orange and little water) is the axis of all the evil. The root of all the rival gangs - Dead R
