Sooooo long...



Hi all...


Its been so long since I have posted something here. My last ever writing was on Valentine’s Day and the subject that post deals was the reason for my inactive mode. But here I am back with the same energy which I had during the inception of this blog. In coming days I will post something regularly in this space, so my dear readers please give me the same support you were giving in the past. My previous posts have only dealt with self development and not in wide range of topics. So I have decided to go big and you can expect more posts in reviews of books, music, movies and also some of the widely discussed topics. So expect minimally and visit regularly here.


Regards
Crazyidiot

Favorite songs-1


Greenday is a famous band, who makes good compositions in PUNK ROCK genre. They have lot of great songs than this, but mine and many youths like me are favorable to the situation this songs deals with. I have given the Youtube link to the song along with the Lyrics below it. Jus enjoy the song.








 Lyrics:
As soon as your born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and you're classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero, well just follow me
If you want to be a hero, well just follow me

Valentines Day

February-14... Its the day whole world celebrates irrespective of their religion. Before writing about valentines day, I like to say few things about love.



You may be a well build and can have a strength to hit several persons, but only being soft helps you in love. So don't hold it too strong, also handle it gently. The simple and most important rule in love is don't try to understand it by researching. Particularly the girl you are in love, because getting a result is totally unsure. Love is purely a joyous thing. Enjoy the confusions it makes, fights it creates, dates it involved.


I had seen many persons feeling too hard when they had a breakup in love. If you are in such situation, think that you got an option to choose a better partner than the previous one. Never love too hard also never feel too hard for its failure. Importantly don't behave cinematic like growing beard. Remember among your failures only love failures can be identified easily by the persons around you. Don't give them a chance to sense your failure, because it may influence your next proposal.

Coming to valentines day, I have two perceptions regarding it. One as a MBA grad and another as a normal person. My management degree taught me to view it as a day which helps to increase the business in several sectors. Special days like this always enables for better liquidity. Being a normal person, its just an another day for me. The only thing it does is making me to realise about my relationship status and urging me to find a soulmate soon.

Wholly love is not only to be celebrated on feb-14, its for all days throughout the year.
Make love, enjoy the life.
