The ice-truck killer,The philosopher and Java

Season finale(season one) of Dexter tonight at 10  !
I am aware of the fact that the season one had ended long back(probably years back) but I came to know of the series in febuary February. Creepy and intriguing with way too much blood involved.Watched the episodes on and off whenever I could catch them but watched enough to understand the story and to know that I like it. American Television is the best,just brilliant.

Meanwhile I have been reading The Zahir by Paulo Coelho-done with 170 pages.
He should get his hair colored violet.
I haven't read many books. The only reason I read his books are because they are famous.It's not something I would randomly pick. Some pages I can relate to,though I don't want to.Some pages I feel it's a pointless read.Some pages he makes more sense than I want him to. I feel like he's written everything that was going on in his mind.One extremely long blog entry!

Got a week to go for  my exam. Have got to finish Java today.Its pretty basic stuff I guess,but I'm not much of a logical thinker so that's where hard work and manipulation comes in handy..
Can't wait to taste freedom !

    I don't like him much either but 'The Zahir' really surprised me.It talks of his journeys as a writer among other things.good stuff.

Never Listen to Yourself

Phase 1  'Listen to your heart' is a popular phrase. Used by musicians, teenage girls and start-up businessmen. It is actually an unfinished phrase. The full version of it would be 'Listen to your heart, if you want to perish.' Our heart tells us things like 'sure, it's okay to have a fourth round of roadside paani puri, and no,that dress is not too expensive.' And a little more scary things like 'Yes, you should feel righteous about killing that guy' and 'we will go to any length to protect our way of living.' Its not that the heart shouldn't be trusted. Wait, no its exactly that. I have no scientific backing and only the unwilling social experiment of my own life to fall back on when I say, our mind makes us do stupid stuff(heart/mind/limbic system/hormones/lalala). It makes us hold on to bad relationships, it makes a diabetic want sweets, it makes us put the alarm on snooze for the fifth time when we were supposed to be at work ...

15 Bollywood songs turned Feminist

Bollywood has always been under the radar for being sexist, misogynist and downright gross. This is reflected in item number songs, which are hummed without a blurred lines-esque protest shaping up. It’s only words,right? Here is what would happen if Bollywood lyrics were made feminist: Radha on the dance floor/ Radha likes to Party/ Radha likes to move that desi Radha body/ This behavior doesn’t define Radha’s personality Panghat pe aake saiyyan/ marode baiyaan/ And everybody blames it on Radha/And a victim blaming system excuses rape Tere liye hi toh signal thod thad ke/ Aaya Dilli waali girlfriend chod chad ke/We had a mature break-up and decided to see other people Khaali peeli khaale peeli rok ne ka nahi/ Tera peecha karunga tok ne ka nahi/ Time to get a restraining order Munni Badnaam Hui/ Darling tere liye/Because rape culture apparently makes good entertainment Shilpa sa figure/ Bebo si adaa/ These actors are more than just their looks/and so am I Main toh tandoori m...
