Bullshit -E- Daastaan

Arz kiya hai...



Kabhi to kaha naa tha humne

Ki nibhaao zindagi bhar ka saath

Guzaarenge yeh khushnuma safar

Daale haathon mei haath



Par diya kyo nacheez ko yeh dard-e-dil

Aur hila di meri naiyya

Zaroorat kya thi poochhne ki

"Time kya hua... bhaiyya?"



- Based on the life and experiences of Hemant. (Boohoohoo!)



Aaaaah! *NOW* I understood how and why people suddenly become shayars!!!

Neurotica!

I'm amazed! Coz when I chose the name 'Neurotica' for my blog, I thought it must have been quite an original.



But a little Google-ing put me in my place!



'N3urotica' is pretty much an original coz the search returns the link to my blog! What's bad is that the bimbo who took the domain neurotica.blogspot.com doesn't even *post* in her blog! Sheesh!



Search 'Neurotica' and you realise that 'Neurotica' is the name of a Cartoon Strip. It also is a song by Jon Bon Jovi, the name of a Book and God only knows what not!



Those were just some of the 37,900 search results that you get!!



Alright... so at least I did not plagiarize or anything. 'Neurotica' occurred to me just like that when I was fiddling around with the Webster's Dictionary for a name for my blog! It stays at that!



Oh... and here's one heckuva Neurotica Link! Viewer discretion advised!

Armageddon

Astronomers believed that an asteroid named '2003 QQ47' would hit Earth on March 21, 2014 with an impact equal to 20 million Hiroshima bombs!



Which only adds to the theory that a third of all human life would be wiped out sometime soon in a major disaster. (Nastrodamus?) Which obviously is excellent because a 3rd of humanity would contain plenty of... *ahem*... Engineers from CET. Hyuk hyuk!



WTF?! And the machine at the carnival told me that I'd live to be 90! FRAUD!!! I want my 5 bucks back!!!



Ok... don't get worked up. Another Report from NASA (its Near Earth Object Program) has ruled out the chances of impact. Armageddon will probably have to wait!

Lotus Eaters

n.



In the Odyssey, one of a people who ate the fruit of the lotus and consequently became indolent, dreamy, and forgetful of duty



A lotus eater is a person living in dreamy indolence, detatched from reality. It is believed that travelling homeward from Troy, Odysseus and his followers came to North African land of the Lotophagi or lotus eaters, where a group which lived on the fruit of the lotus which indeced dreamy forgetfulness.



When Odysseus sent out a search party, its members tates the lotus, became oblivious to friends and home, lost all desire to leave the country and had to be forcibly brought back to the ship.



This legend later popularised by Tennyson's poem The Lotos Eater is the origin of the phrase, which now sometimes has overtones of luxurious ease.



(I *must* be a lotus eater!) :-D
