the tyranny of evil men...

it seems to me that happiness is overrated... and consequently the strife for being at one with the universe is too... the universe is full of wierdos and jack shit.. no one should strive to be one with it.. no one should strive to 'be happy', it just isnt the point... its a guise sold to us by the motion picture production houses... its a hallmark moment... one should aim for perfection and settle for yourself.. you should aim to be you... to be honest with yourself... to feel... to love.. to hurt.. to cry and to just not give a fuck... you... the real you.. never changing and never letting up... happiness is a whim.. its a fancy... it'll come and it'll go... to strive for something so obviously transcendental is jus pointless... you are real.. constant and at the end of it most important..

if it matters to you.. go for it.. if it doesn't dont... dont be fake.. dont put on.. dont be a peer.. there came two paths.. and i took the one less trodden.. hell fuck that.. make your own path..

in a country of 1,000,000,000 people.. one tall lanky fellow said.. 'jahan ham khade hoten hain.. line wahin se shuroo hoti hai'.. be a bhagwan amitabh.. go on...

*the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides, by the alacrity of the wicked and the tyranny of evil men...*

*cf: Ezekiel 24:17

koyla.. the rooftop elysium of mumbai

hi... yes i know its been a while... but ive been busy... doing what you say.. working... ! ok and with lots of alcohol as well... so this is my long overdue post on koyla... the rooftop elysium of mumbai... now... quick background... there is this shady place called the gulf hotel in colaba, somewhere in the bylanes behind the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Mumbai (clap!! clap!!).. and this paradise ironically happens to be on its rooftop. It offers an excellent view of the south mubai harbour and a sense of idyllic comfort. Of course the fact that they serve sheesha and can make a decent head adds to the whole experience... but overall, its a place to take you away from the din of mumbai, soulfull and exciting as it might be it is tiring, and you need to recluse sometime.. so this is the place to do it... low seating, open air, cusions, fresh (or as much can be expected in mumbai) air, good kabas, decent service and soothing sheesha... blissful....

so the next time you're looking for a place to get in touch with yourself... or someone else... or jus mumbai from a secluded recluse.. this is the place to go to...

*and if you suddenly find yourself in fields of gold with the sun streaming down upon you, do not be afraid, rejoice instead, for you are in elysium... and already dead
