“...Couldn’t be much more from the heart .... And nothing else matters!”

A musician makes music from the heart. And when you start thinking about how much the music is going to impact your bank accounts, you’re not  a musician anymore, you’re just a wh*re who can be bought for money. And while their marketing managers would continue to make Metallica a success and the dollars would keep flowing in, one thing that those folk can never do is what’s beyond that– the true love of a fan (maybe the band would never understand what that means).

Metallica, by what fans have experienced in the last couple of years, might be a good act, but people go to their shows to listen to some old tunes that were made by a bunch of real musicians who did not care about the money. Whereas now all they care about is “who got what” and “who got it all”.

Unhappy about the backstage arrangements, the band decided not to perform at Delhi, not giving a s**t about what fans feel after they have been waiting for more than 30 years to hear the band live. And to top it all the band did not even have the decency to be present at the stage when an announcement was being made. While the venue was vandalized by some crazy folks (which I think is totally wrong), the band itself was to blame for all the chaos that was caused at the venue and the lives of 25000 people was put at risk.

The money killed the heart, and there was never ever no soul. The band moves on for its next show...and Delhi says..we don’t want you here no more!

In God We Trust, We Trust in God - Do We?

So when we trust in god and believe that whatever happens is for the best; why do we need to keep asking god for materialistic things? And for argument sake, let’s say if god accepts all our wishes to the last line then would he be doing us any good if he also accepts fulfilling what is not good for us? It’s just like a parent agreeing to buy his child a pack of smokes. While it hurts him in the longer run, it may be something that the child would have been asking for because he is fascinated with smoking.

So the question is that if god gives us what we want or what we need? If he was to give us what we asked for, there is always a risk that he may be giving us our pack of smokes while what we actually need is something else. Not always do we understand the ‘mysterious ways’ that he works in, and while we often do not get the things that we wish for, it is possible that it is so because what we wish for is not something that we NEED!

Never expect a straight answer from me because you will never get it!

Tired of explaining to people what sarcasm means! Just weird how sometimes people understand even the most subtle form of mockery and take your most obvious attempt at sarcasm as something that was actually true!

Leave a loose ended statement and you are bound to get a weird comment. Is that such a crime? Just because I comment on something I think is not correct, does it make me THE BAD GUY? Why is sarcasm so hard to understand by people?

“I read!” “I write!” “I am more learned than you”, they would say, but putting what you have read into perspective is what is required!
