FINGER LICKIN GOOD!

                                                          
What do you think of after reading the above lines? If you don’t get what’s that you doesn’t seem to be a “foodie”.
You know or you don’t, it’s the KFC’s line up slogan. Now, if you ask what’s KFC, next article please.
KFC is a Fast food restaurant chain headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, United States.
These people are actually meant for Non veggies.
Just to inform you that, being a vegetarian I’m one of the biggest KFC lovers (atleast in India) because you hardly find a vegetarian item in KFC’s menu( outside India)
Sir Harland Sandlers was the founder of KFC who used to sell fried chicken roadside in Kentucky.
There are many big industrialists who have invested huge funds in their business and grown up like anything. But in my view Mr. Sandlers made the best contribution.

KFC’s got a great competition in India as it isn’t suitable for our pockets every time.
Yeah, now you may think about McDonalds and you are correct this time. In my personal opinion, McD is a piece of sh*t or worse.
They just going on trying to compete with KFC by copying their kind of service, packaging, even the spices.
People in India are mad for McD, this is just because of its competitive low prices. When it entered India, it used to provide good food quality with lower prices but now we can see that the cant afford to provide quality food at lower prices. Why to compromise with the quality? Many people aren’t even aware about  KFC, I feel sorry for them.
Even a roadside fellow will provide crispy fries then McD ones.
People here and there keep on asking me how could you be a great fan of KFC(being a veg.) and I don’t know what to say.
Many think that KFC isn’t made for veg. creatures.
Let them think that way, I don’t mind.


I was about to post this article on McDonald’s website but I was sad when I saw that those people don’t even provide with feedback box but are ready to give me a job.

People, you keep thinking about KFC. I can’t keep myself away from KFC
I have a lot of respect for this guy who is the Lord Of Food for me!

MC Donald’s lovers go to hell!
Btw, No offense.

THE INHUMAN ACT


Think of a girl…or a woman who is very close to you..now remember a wonderful moment that you spent with this person...done? If no then do it right now...ok...great..

One fine day you wake up and you come to know that this person faced a tragedy and is admitted in some hospital,.you visit that person..you look at her..she is sitting on a bed,.silent,.staring at the wall,.her eyes full of tears,.then you come to know that she has been raped by someone,.she doesn't say it, you don’t ask it, you just know it…from the defeated look in her eyes…you can do nothing but calm her down, hold her .then you seek help from police,...police says they have caught the rapists and will present them in court soon,...you try your best to seek the worst punishment possible for the rapists,.but friends,.why not prevent it,.
how?,..here's how,.

          The above para must have surely reminded you of the recent gang rape incident in Delhi,.but when you came to know that she was raped by 7 people,…and that's not all.,.her intestine had to be removed because they had put a metal rod into her vagina,.what did you do?,.Let me guess,...Got very angry and accused them with your friends,...updated your status on Facebook that says this is not done & other bullshit,...and got back to your normal life isn't it,...99% of you did the same thing friends,…you'll say court is there to decide,...but the court will sentence them a punishment of some years,…and when everyone forgets about the incident..,.the same court gives them bail and set them free to search for another victim,…and this time,..it could be the person that you thought of before,…

           Why not unite together for this 23 year old young girl...raise your voice and DEMAND for a capital punishment for such bastards,...demand for a law that criminals will fear ...demand for a law without any loop holes,..because only then we can proudly say that WE LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY,.
            Come on friends,...gear up!..,.because its now...or never..

THE BULLET 350


The reason I'm going about 100kmh on my Royal Enfield 350 Bullet, is because I'm pissed. Not pissed pissed; but kind of irritated pissed. Because I don't get to ride it a lot at high speeds. Dad is all like it is made to be ridden slowly... Savouring every moment. True, dad. Heads turn as you go "waltzing" by on a bullet at low speeds, the thump of the silencer is unmatched by any other bike. But that's it. On the highway though, the sound smoothes out as you ease into the third gear, and then the fourth. The bullet becomes silent.. Very silent. Bikes such as the CBZ or pulsar start vibrating a bit at high speeds. Their engines whine at the strain. No. Not the bullet. Effortlessly it embraces the high speed and does it the finesse that other bikes lack.

Another reason I'm irritated pissed is cause ever since I told my friends that I ride a bullet, I've been bombarded with suggestions on how to ride it. Like they know better. Sid, you have to turn it with body weight, Sid, your weight won't be enough, Sid, you have to gain weight, Sid, do me a favour, don't ride the bullet. Here's my finger guys. I've been observing my dad ride it for years. I know how to handle that beast. Thank you very much.

Before starting, I unlock the handle, the petrol knob and take it off the stand. Now the big part. Kick-starting it. I take three tries till the engine roars to life. Every time I start it, I'm filled with the same sense of awe. With other electric start bikes, half the time you don't realise it's running. If you don't realise that the bullet is running, well then you'd have to get your bums checked. And your head.

I roar past jealous boys, awestruck girls (impressed that I can handle it, you know - with my weight) and people who don't matter. Nothing matters when I'm riding. The world is literally a blur. The only sound is the blood pounding in my ears and the sound of my faithful bullet. It's like a support that never wanes. Never breaks. The feeling is indescribable.

At the end, there's the nothing you can do but make way for the bullet. Respect.

ZERO CONTACT


I sat and stared into space as I thought what her mother would have told her. And how she would said it. I pictured her sitting on the sofa, sobbing. Her mother, standing up, a broom in one hand; other on her hip. No. Too dramatic, I decided. More like a modern family. They would sit together. Her mom consoling her. Saying things like “These things happen....” and “These feelings will go away after a while...”
Those feelings may go away. But I sure ain’t going anywhere. I’m going to be around a while. (That being at least 70 years.) Are you going to avoid me for seventy years? No contact at all?
And why no contact? Because we are close? Because we understand each other so well? Because we share everything with each other? Be cause we chat late into the night? Because we say that we miss each other? Because your mom told you to stay away?
Last time I checked, this wasn’t Victorian England. And this was a free country. Can’t you hang out with your friend? So what if it’s a boy? “Izzat ka sawal hai” you say. Keep forcing her not to talk and she might just run away with him. I’m not saying that’s gonna happen every time, but it’s a possibility. A lot of good that will do for your “izzat”.
Lets imagine a situation; You’re a middle class, literate man/woman. You’re walking down the road and you see your friend’s son/daughter walking with another boy/girl. They are walking close to each other.
Questions:
1.      Why are you still looking?
2.      Why did you look at them in the first place? You like to look at teens?
3.      You have kids don’t you? That means you had SEX. They are just walking together.
4.      It’s not even your kid. Does your friend pay you to spy on their kid?
People who look at couples walking together on the street and think “Kiti vaya gele ahet”, well, it’s none of your damn business, thank you. And you’re not going to a trophy for talking about it behind backs.
And it’s not just me. Lot of boys and girls complain that they can’t spend time together outside the house just because people talk. It’s okay if people just talked. But they talk to their parents. Then comes the usual drama of he is not good for you. You are just 18; you have your life ahead of you. You might find someone better. Stay away from him.
Then the girl messages “We have to break contact. I am sorry.” Then the boy stares at the screen of his mobile. Unsure what to do, or feel.
As I stare at the wall, thinking about philosophy, I wait for that final message. I don’t know what i will feel after I get it. But I’m worried about her. Not me. Cause for me, a feeling is like the cold. After a while I don’t notice it’s there.
And it scares me.

DEAR GIRLS

A week ago, a friend came over to my place. After some laughs and a few beers, he told me with a straight face- “My girlfriend is the most beautiful girl I have ever known. And I am so lucky to be with her.” Okay. That’s not what he said. He told me that she is a crazy and irrational girl. And that she needed some counselling.
When a guy meets the girl of his dreams, its heaven for him. The day seems brighter, the night (too) seems brighter(cause the moon seems brighter), The deos seem more fragrant and maths start to seem easy. But then the God above says “That’s enough heaven for you boy.” And he turns off a switch. That’s when the girl takes out the hidden weapons from her arsenal.
She expects boys to know everything! Her likes, dislikes, moods, what she means, what she doesn’t mean, what she wants to say (but doesn’t), what she doesn’t want to say(but does), what she wants to do, what she wants you to do...this could go on for a while. Then she expects us to open doors for her (because she’s a girl. And chivalry is dead) and the next second she fights for equal rights for women. Babe, chivalry was prevalent in the society when women had no rights whatsoever. Choose one, either we open your doors, and you don’t get any rights; or you open your own doors and get equal rights.
Girls don’t say what they mean, and say what they don’t mean. Just because the boy is behaving like an ass doesn’t give you the right to manipulate him. They don’t know what they want from a guy and they don’t know what they don’t want. They expect guys to know that.
“I got hurted so bad because of you”. Or those who know English a little better say “You hurt me so bad” followed by “I cried all night.” I admit, when girls cry, boys get awkward. They don’t know what to do or say. The quickest way out of this situation is to do what the girl says. So, at the end, the girl gets what she says and the boy is happy the girl is not crying anymore.
She knows better. At least, she thinks that she does. Just being more emotional and sensitive doesn’t mean you know better. Boys are emotional and sensitive too. Not as much as girls, though. With boys, it’s more about logical decisions. Not about i just wasn’t feeling....or I felt that....
Then comes the sacrifice. She sacrifices a lot to be with the guy. No one ever knows what ‘a lot’ exactly is. Girls, if you sacrifice something for a guy, tell him. There is a good chance he’ll appreciate it.
Relationships deteriorate because the girl doesn’t tell what she feels, or thinks. I’m not saying it’s all her fault. The world as it is now refuses to slow down. Fall in love, get your heart broken, fall out of love.  Move on. Fall in love again. Is it really love that we fall into? Or is it the idea of love?
Girls don’t know what they want. But then again, no one does. Whats the fun in living life if we already know everything?

Sincerely,
Boys

DEAR BOYS...




A week ago, my friend came over to my place and burst into tears. After twenty minutes of sobbing, blaming and bad-mouthing her boyfriend, she finally told me what happened. “He NEVER listens to me and he can’t complete a goddamn sentence without swearing! ”, were her exact words.

When you meet a guy he puts on his best face and makes you think he is perfect. He is understanding, caring and likes the same things you do. But, as time passes you get to know the real person behind the awesome-looking façade. He lies and cheats and treats you like you're a kid. “You won’t understand”, is the one sentence girls might hear often from a boyfriend. Do guys actually think girls are that dumb??  Just because we don’t comment on everything you say doesn’t mean we don’t understand what you mean. Constantly poking and taunting a girl about some guy who just talks to her is not how you show you are jealous. It is always perceived as over possessiveness. If you are jealous just tell it to your girlfriend instead of irritating her. Believe me, there will come a day when she will prefer talking to the other guy and not you. 

The other thing that girls hate is the feeling that they are competing with another girl for your attention. They hate feeling the need to keep up with someone else just to keep you happy. And boasting about being able to "handle" 10 girls at once is not an achievement. That just shows that you're afraid of commitment. I As our grandparents would probably say, love is a loosely defined word in today’s world. Not many of us mean it when we actually say it to someone else. Why give them hopes of a future together when there is no possibility of it existing?? Why do boys do that? Are they in such a desperate need of someone to say that they care for them

Blaming one person - the girl- for the downfall of a relationship isn’t fair. When two people are together, each one has to put aside their ego at times for the sake of the relationship. A girl sacrifices many things and they always go unnoticed. God forbid, the heavens might crash if a guy makes a sacrifice for the girl. I’m not saying every guy is like that but there are such guys out there who do all this. They lie, they cheat and then come back begging for forgiveness and acting as if nothing happened in the first place. No one is at fault in the deterioration of relationships. We fall in love too easily, think too little, refuse to sacrifice and then fall out of love even sooner. The meaning of ‘true love’ is lost somewhere and unless we put our egos aside we will never be able to find out what it actually means.

-Sincerely, girls.

FACEBOOK CONFESSIONS




Hello friends, this is FaceBook! I know I know you might be wondering Who? How? What? But yeah this Is me, FaceBook! Well Mark told me not to but I just couldn’t take your behaviour on FB anymore and by “your” I mean all the billions of FB users (no offense).  

Being a FB I came across a lot of personalities...so many that I can write a big fat book on it! And let share a secret with you we make every single attempt to fool you and we succeed enormously. Let just say the more time you spend on FB my tenure gets bigger. I get paid for wasting your time! Isn’t that great? I don’t have to do much...fooling you user is a piece of cake!

For instance, FB games...crap man they are total crap!! No extraordinary graphics, nothing innovative but they are addictive. They make you came back again and play them, people are so engrossed that they cannot get their asses out of the seat for hours! Let me tell you four hours in front of computer, playing FB games, reaching level 44 what have you achieved?? I’ll answer it for you and the answer is NOTHING...! There is no significance of you reaching level 44 in real life, Grow up guys even Dave and Mario are better choices!

Now my most exclusive users, the school and college buddies. Guys you don’t have to answer my question “What’s on your mind?” every now and then. Sometimes I see your status and I laugh out loud (FYI lol is short for laugh out loud and it’s Not a word, most people don’t know! And it’s very inappropriate to use in a face to face conversation!). Some people are like, “I missed my train...it was real fun!” ironically 50 likes and 23 pathetic comments! If it’s by a girl then just double the number if it is by a pretty girl then just double the doubled number.

Photography! I have tried to encourage the little photographer in you but apparently I woke up the photographic daemon in you who clicks a pic after every single split of second! Moreover upload them on me (No matter how jackass you)! Some are like uploading photo of a hotel and captioning “had dinr wid ma family at dis hotel ystrdae!” some are like, “this is ma doggie, ma cutie pie!!!”, “this is ma home”, “this is house’s hall”, “...kitchen”, “...bedroom”, “...toilet seat” bullshit!!!
My dear Romeos and Juliets, you know I have matched number of couples more than any matrimonial site! At times love stories used to start like “Once upon a time a girl crashed into a boy their eyes met and they fell in love at first sight!” but years after stories will be told like this, “Once a princess added Prince Charming as a friend on FB...”

I have LOT more to tell...believe me by lot I mean real lot!! I’ll wind up here cause Mark is coming! Bye cya tc and think on it!

MISTAKES BY MAHATMA





“He ruined the nation.”    “He was a nuisance.”     “ It’s a good thing he was assassinated.”

This is 90% of the teens talking about the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi.
Why do they hate him so? What did he do to make almost all teens despise him?
I asked my friends and got confused and incomplete answers. He was non violent when it was not necessary. He allowed partition of India and Pakistan.

Mahatma Gandhi was born, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on October 2nd 1869 in Porbandar, Gujarat.  His best points were-
  • Compassion for all sentient beings.
  • Vegetarianism.
  • Fasting for self purification.
  • Mutual tolerance among individuals of different faiths.
 We all know Gandhiji as our history textbooks portrayed him to be. A great visionary, leader...a great man. But was he really as great as our textbooks said? Is there something more to him that we were never told about in the books? There is. The mistakes by Gandhiji.

He recruited soldiers for the British army in the world war in expectation that they would be more considerate in granting India freedom. Which- of course- they were not.

He was very strict on his non violent principles, ending many riots simply because they were too violent. It is said many times that he wielded much more power than he could have handle. If he might have encouraged a little violence (as we were at war), we might just had won freedom much earlier.

He chose to let Ali Jinah go ahead with the partition of India and Pakistan, instead of going on a hunger strike to death, which would have surely halted the process.

After the partition, Gandhiji refused to acknowledge Pakistan as an enemy state. He opposed any attacks against Pakistan and went on a hunger strike to force the Indian government to grant 55 crores to them.
At the time of riots, he ordered people to stay where they were, instead of fleeing. He was of the opinion that people should die brave in their motherland, than to live as cowards in a foreign country. He openly criticized these “cowards”.

The main points, the base of all these mistakes (and many more) was a complete lack of realism in the later years of his life. He chose to live in an imaginary world of perfect human beings, instead of facing reality and how humans react to situations.

Gandhiji gave us the greatest weapon the common man could ever have- non violence. But it to be used as a force to oppress unjust practices. Not blackmail the government into acting how one prefers. As he often did.

Non violence won us the freedom. But it was not the only thing that did. Many other factors contributed.
This article is not written to degrade the Mahatma, or his memory. I personally respect him and I know that it’s not easy commanding an entire nation and being in everyone’s good books.

This is just the truth about him, which not everyone knows. And I think, on his birthday, we should acknowledge his good points and his bad points. After all, no one is perfect.   

I apologize for any hurt sentiments.
