Watch Slumdog Millionaire- in case i havent already told you- because the oscar hype is not unwarranted. You'll understand it's life. And read "The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga- you'll know it north to south. And then read God of Small Things- and you'll see its heart. And then read Inheritance of Loss- and you'll fall asleep. hahah. and to wake you up, watch a bollywood song, because contrary to the damnated popular opinion its not all bout dancing round coconut trees. we only have masses of coconut trees near beaches (like every other tropical country). and we're actually 3/4th land-locked, so there. and where is this surge of patriotism coming from you ask? well, a belated desire to learn the language again. and also because i watched the aforementioned movie that is soon coming out!

anyhoo- i've been wondering, what would be one thing you'd take out of your house if it was burning? and though i've always thought of the textbook answer, that i'd take out my bible, well i actually dont know. now that i have a bible on my ipod- i might upgrade the ipod to number one. heheh.

Not ahead of time
And dont think you,
Are in control
Because I still
Shuffle about
Looking at my feet
I am not avoiding
The sunlight
I am just careful
Of where I step

~

Haiku- Outside the Beautiful Gate
Starry eyed are they?
Blinded; I say not one will
Look me in the eye

To act, to write and to sit at the feet of the King. Thats all I want right now.

Sarah McLachlan- "World on Fire"

if only there were more singers like this. or merely more people like this. the gaza conflict has gotten worse. and after watching "The Changeling" i am again reminded of how screwed up our world can be. and how easy it is for minorities to be forgotten, swept under rather large fluffy carpets that sustain our superiority and hide our dirt. hmmm. time to take some action people!
