Tiger against the Humankind...

a few days back when i was at home...watching the idiot box with my mum...

there was an advertisement about saving our national animal...India's national animal...>> the Tiger...
the ad asked people to sms, blog and the works to generate awareness about the diminishing no of Tigers in our country...the advertisement was by Aircel...a telecommunication company...



nd my mum asked me

how would that help...we are not using any tiger products and none of the people we know use them...we are not also going out there to kill them...and the people who are indulging in poaching of this beautiful animal must not be aware of this...or dont care about this...
so how would this help ???

and for a few moments i realised she was true in what she said...how would this actually help...???

hmmmm...that got my mind racing...here is the conclusion...

realising that there is a problem...forms the first part of solution for the problem...

the no of tigers in our country is 1411 right now...considering the size of our country and the fact that its our national animal...its really something to be pitied...

but lets take into consideration--- the forest cover is decreasing at a very rapid rate...
this in turn is destroying the natural habitat of animals like Tigers in particular...

we had been successful in making the Asiatic cheetah extinct with a little help from the Britishers...
and wow we made it possible before our country became independent...
that's really an achievement...( clap clap clap...we fucked them all...)

yeah awesome work by the

human - kind

what has really made "human-kind" really unkind towards the nature...
humankind...that word is like the height of hypocrisy...infact it takes it to a new level altogether...

Greed...ahh tats a nice word...a word we are all familiar with...
we have never been able to satisfy our needs and cravings...
we have lost the meaning of word need...its a cloak that covers our greed...
hmmm where to draw the line between need and greed...awww tats hard isnt it...

and isnt it true that its our greed for more and more and more...(till the infinity) that has led to the decreasing of forests...diminshing of tigers...the extinction of several species...

and isnt it true that no matter how much we have...no matter how much we get...we are never satisfied...
we humans are so vain that we actually think that what we do is right...

so what do we do if tigers our losing out...
may be what we can actually do is just reduce a little of our greed...and may be that will make it possible that the nature may live in harmony...

so just think... maybe if one human reduces his or her need(greed) and waste just a little less in vanity...(atleast for starters...)
maybe then that human becomes responsible for saving a tree a little more space for out strong and brave Tiger...

lets make sure that it remains a LIVING NATIONAL ANIMAL>>...that is allowed to be free and really rule the jungle as it is supposed to be...

lets just not test this animals strength...it has lost much in the war...with odds against the TIGER...lets just respect the animal...for what it stands for...
for the fight it has put till now...

It's the eye of the tiger,
it's the cream of the fight
Rising' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching' us all in the eye of the tiger

ever thought why its our national animal...maybe it too has endured a lot like our country...maybe it too is still fighting...but maybe it might not last long...

Lets just let the TIGER remain free and Live in glory...

for i seriously want that the generations to come can also see what a majestic animal TIGER really is...

what our national animal stands for...

i don want that tigers should go extinct...

peace my friends...lets really become humankind...

I pray we do... I'll do my bit... and I'll pray that you please help our national animal survive...




p.s. Tiger against the Humankind...i dont like the sound of it...Tiger and the Humankind sounds nicer..

Beer Chronicles...

Beer and the Winter's Sun.


why does one need ter drink anyways...is a question asked by many who don't drink...

but how does one make them understand what a person feels when one's high...

yeah well i thought the best way ter describe it would be ter get high and then ter write about it...

hmmm...yes I'm high as i pen this down..correction type this down...

that said and u have your eyebrows raised as you read it further...

or you say ter yourself " there he goes..."
I'll leave the blank to each one of yours definition...

but what i really wanna talk about here is the feeling of peace and tranquility that comes with sipping a chilled beer( child bear;) as per a Punjabi daru theka) under the sun on a sunny day of a cold winter's day...a kingfisher strong in my case

ahhhh...phew...hmmm... an expression on the face - as the first gulp of that sweet brown nectar goes down one's throat...
and with it arrives a feeling that pacifies all the worries and inhibitions that the world has ter offer...

you open up and a complex algorithm uncontrolled by you involving your voice box, tongue, mouth infact your whole body gets ter work...
the words ooze out carrying everything that was hidden and carrying with them the stress and...
the hands wave, the body is set on motion as if clearing the way for the words that are to travel the distance...
and one's on the way to join the highway...

the spirit of beer flows through you, intoxicating and the sun makes the surrounding a lazy timeless portrait...

the time passes by as if in slow motion...the stomach lurches and BURRRPPP...

now with that gaseous release things settle down and you cant resist going fer another pint...

head becomes a bit heavy and is cushioned by some unknown forces and the body feels light as if floating...

there's nothing that can stop you..and you feel no fear...

add ter that soft rhythmic sounds of Pink Floyd...and one's surfing on the chilly breeze that Chandigarh has ter offer...

getting up from that chair is a herculean effort...but why would you wanna do that...
well you surely don't wanna miss out on walking...
ahhh...yeah walking...its no less than a tightrope adventure

and the feeling that overwhelms you, helps be a part of everything around...

nothing escapes and everything flies by...

the sun..hey ya...the sun woh that's a beauty...it just warms the cold bones...and the relaxes brow...

and if at any instant you miss some one or miss something...then all you have ter do...
is take another swig of that sweet brown nectar... they call it BEER...i call it beer as well...
wipe the froth...and say...

CHEERS eh...:)
