And right now Babylon de pon me case.

i had a 100 topics to jot down in my maiden blog(d reason for which u may as well pardon my brusqueness and abberrations!!) and a 1000 ideas to dream and ponder over in addition to the anxiety that any debut has whilst the only immediate inspiration being that of subject on a crisis(everyone of us dreams to solve1 one day).we live in the age of global warming,we breathe an air that is tainted just like our ministers,and the most staggering of all in an age stilll divided by caste colour and creed!theese matters have been a concern enough for the godfathers in this society to get engaged in them in an ostensibly assiduous and give it all manner.my main concern today though is that of a big city life.
I find myself thrilled and surprised at being on exact thinking terms with mattafix a band id barely known before this finger snapping no.Strange are the ways of men who call it telepathy.Only that my title rocks!And i say that at the risk of sounding condescending!By calling it a big city life i do not mean the skyscrapers that kiss the sky,ready to lunge into space.Neither do i mean the waltzing sleek cars sauntering over intricated and virtually puzzling flyovers.I mean a life in theese big cities.if you could call it one.i leave my intent to your imagination and meanings hovering over ambiguity.
One thing common between the teeming streets of london,bustling suburbs of mumbai,artistic splendour of paris and the astronomical towers of new york is a lonely heart(dont ask me@what kpbs it beats).A heart having no space in the vastness of the city and its sophisticated superior lifestyle.Deserted and robbed of space in a city of dreams and its vastness.Vastness beyond imagination,a world wrapped inside the other,krammed into it.Many of the unfortunate big citylings(sophisticated earthlings!) may have no answer to some simple questions which are no rocket sciences.When was the last time you inhaled the fragrance of flowers inside a park?last time when you’d taken care of your garden(something extinct and obsolete!except if u see graphical cliipings of them on computers!!) or last time u went exploring into the terrace with telescopes(if you know at all how your terrace looks like)?When was the last time you had a no holds barred hangout with friends?i think weve lost out on time for each other if not love.Afterall we do miss the simplicities of life.Simple things that are ubiqituous in small time cities or towns(mind u thru networks like google and yahoo they have the capability of being more advanced than us because they’re connected globally)The most intimate and close friends among us keep in touch online and have just a missed call or a forwarded message between us.Youll always regret on lost time,wether its with ur childhoo friend,your parents or your kids later on!A day might come when things’ll get mechanical.When therell be love but no time for love.A day when we might not loose out on our friendship but we’ll loose the sheen of our camaraderie.The humane side of us obliterated and long forgotten.A day when two best freinds might bump off into each other 20 saal baad in true filmi istyle that too on the net despite staying in the vicinity. However improbable these situations might be you cant ridicule ‘em.
