The post of truths and a lie

1. I am claustrophobic. That is, I have the fear of closed spaces. I do not feel comfortable in elevators at all. Even in aero planes sometimes.

 2. My proposal was rejected by my wife when we were in school. 

 3. I still feel I can bowl like Wasim Akram.

 4. I am a complete believer in individual liberty. I completely disagree with the notion that individual liberty should be cut down for collective benefits. Thomas Jefferson beautifully puts this idea “Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.” Ultra Strict  and invasive laws never have and will make a better society.

5. I hate those who like to see 20-20 cricket. I am sorry but I cannot believe they understand cricket.

6. I don’t know why but I always feel that I am capable of excelling in any field. I dont know from where such over-confidence comes, but it does come.

7. I don’t believe in God as till now I havn’t seen an iota of proof for such an entity’s existence.

8. I think spirituality is the one of the biggest hogwash of our times as it is anytime twisted to mean anything under the sun to suit the circumstances.

9. When the first talks of marriage began in my wife’s home,i was ready for doing anything…..and I really mean ….. anything.

10. DDLJ and Qayamat se Qayamat Tak still leave me in a state of extreme joy.

11. I am a match box.

12. I love science. no..no wait..I worship it. I dream to have a world where people like scientists and engineers would not have to work under “managers” and “politicians”.

13. I see my countrymen were and are never ready for democracy. They love aristocracy. Gandhiji way back in the 30′s knew this and strived for social and economic independence apart from political independence. Rejection of his ideals of empowerment of the villages with decentralized production systems has brought us to the  abysmal state we are in. None of our villages are good enough now and our cities are choking. Still I see the urban fools celebrating at 8 % growth of India. 

14. I adulate Robert de Niro and Al pacino.

15.  I want to start singing in a band.

16. I feel pained when I see folks all drooling over rock or jazz or hip-hop and not knowing an iota about the treasure of classical music India has.

17. I know everyone is a hypocrite. I just wish everyone is a little lesser, including me.

18. I see mankind is by instinct, a very selfish species. Our selfishness along with our unending stupidity will eventually lead to our downfall.

19. I started writing a book but left it after writing 5 pages.

20. My group in school was an extremely notorious bunch. Some of our great works are still subjects of discussion there.

21. I procrastinate a lot.

22. I want to live all alone in a jungle for a while.

23. I love children. We should ty to learn a thing or two from them.

Sorry for making this only 22 truths and 1 lie but seriously, I could not go further due to sleep. And hereby passing the baton to one and only ‘#’.

    [In my opinion, None can be selfless. If one wants to be selfless, then it is to satisfy his/her wish to be 'selfless' which is a 'selfish' attitude by itself]
