Lingua Franca of India version America 2.0

Lingua franca of Urban India is changing (and already changed much). Now a days, if you happen to fix your hearing senses over some college going guys n gals, you can easily notice the blatant use of words used in western countries like "don't piss me off", "f**k off", "take your f*****g ass away from here", "shit" or "bullshit" etc etc etc.
what problem can i have over their use ? absolutely none. But what i am worried about is that there is lot of hue and cry over our Hindi being dying out. And the hindi lovers (mainly govt.) are trying hard to translate every word of English into Hindi. What if these words are translated and spoken off in Hindi ? Now, if somebody speaks these words in hindi in public, then all those who are simply blurting out these words would pass a smirk and slid away as something sick, dangerous transmitable language has been used in their lofty presence. There comes the army of Prince Charles.

I won't write much now but would end this piece by saying that obscenity, in any language, remains obscene only.
To write that i've nothing to write today.

Condolence

Today is september 11. it is 5 years now since the WTC towers were crashed down. My heart goes out for the people who lost their lives or loved ones in the tragedy.


God, please help people realising the importance of peace and harmony.
Its a long time when i posted last. so many things came to my mind to write about but didn't feel writing. so here it goes, one by one.

1) One of the many amazing things, i saw in mumbai is business of cow-seva (serving a cow, a holy animal). On my way to office, i see a woman sitting with a big bunch of fresh green grass and a cow. But she doesn't feed to the cow herself. People use to pay her 2 or 5 rupee and get one small bunch and offer it to the cow. The cow happily obliges by starting munching it. People would swipe their hand on the back of cow in most religious way and goes away.
Yeah !, thats Cow Seva (convenient and almost at your doorstep). Whoose cow is that anyway ? and who is going to milk her ? Its her cow, damn it.
I got a business idea here, why not start one dairy and a website asking for a small fee which would be used to feed cows at dairy. "Cow seva Online " - Tag line.

2) Married Life looks very boring. I see people passing their whole time at their home, with wife and kids. Oh no, i fear. why not go outside (with wife & kids, of course) and enjoy outings. But no, they would sit at their home and scare us to death about our impending destiny.
But unmarried life too, doesn't charm always .

3) These days i can't concentrate on studies. The moment i sit at my study table, first of all i start feeling thirsty, then itching start in my earholes, then i suddenly remember some important work and so on. But i can't study. Oh God, please help me out.

4) Why mind wander away to the restricted zones. We know restrictions but still it goes. Yudhishthra tells Dharmdeva (if i recollect correctly) that the thing having highest speed is our thoughts. And sometime it enters in most dangerous zones. Then we lie down, nothing seems to interest us and life becomes too difficult to live. Why can't we control our mind ? Even writing about this is making my head heavy. (don't start guessing, guys!)
