About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to move beyond signing gym forms.....

ABOUT ME

have varied interests from physics to history to politics and ofcourse the quintessential music and films. Travel goes without saying if I signed up on this website. I am also known for my expertise in signing gym forms, but seldom move beyond...
By day I am engaged in wage slavery to pay rent but spend a lot of my time in other political activities. (I am a democratic rights activist among other things) I also spend a lot of time in trying to open (or torture depending on how u see it:) indoctrinated minds to a different world view. Or as my friends call it, an absolutely correct but mighty depressing way of looking at the world. :)
although am more than aware I know very very little about most things so I dont take myself too seriously.

I get addicted to anything I like, and let it consume me fully. So if I have recently discovered a great musician, expect to hear me playing it atleast 10000 times..
My friend says I'm kinda out of control but still fun :)

PHILOSOPHY

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.

Now if you're wondering bout my fucked up, fickle frown;
it's cause I'm thinking bout how the wealth don't trickle down...

Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.

best things in life are not things...

Interests

politics, social issues, art, social enterprise, alt-living, good wine and coffee at the bar, lots of books and music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Impossible to list, coz I like music in every genre, although am still picky about what i listen to.
Lets see am currently listening to The Coup, Sufjan Stevens, Iron and Wine, Manu Chao and Richard Bona...
I have dreamed for far too long to be able to play a musical instrument, so its time I go beyond that.

Movies - Suffice to say if the film is not called enemy of the state, or some predictable hollywood name I'd watch it. Although lately I've been biased towards docs and political films. Last week I saw - Delicatessen, all the Adam Curtis documentaries, In the Loop, and my fav TV show - Flight of the Conchords.

Books - I almost never read novels but you'll find tons of non fiction on my shelf

I'd love to share my music and films.
