oxyMORONS :-)
OXYMORON - This is one among those few words which describes Me. This script was written by me some ages back but edited according to this day and place, and want to host this online here now.
The beauty of this article lies in my idea - to write and article on OXYMORONs, by not writing an article on OXYMORONs, yet writing an article on OXYMORONS - savvy...??
For those who dunno what an OXYMORON means:
An oxymoron (plural oxymora or, more commonly, oxymorons) (noun) is a figure of speech that combines two normally that combines two normally contradictory terms (e.g. "deafening silence") to make a point.
Now here we go
Oxymoron ... Oxymoron... Oxymoron... Ever heard of them.......???????
Probably YES , probably NO ... or both together. But sure this word is annoying me comfortably so as to write an article to please it hard especially on these days of my working vacations. So, in this noisy calm weather of Budapest, here I sit with a pen and a diet coke, all alone together, and thinking nothing as what to write. Though I found Blogspot at a very late age of my young life, ever since am feeling that I should become a resident alien on its home page.
With plastic glasses on my nose, I first thought of writing about some peace force of United States or on some Military Intelligence of Rwanda. But felt its truly impractical to write something on such trivial things. So I permanently changed my mind not to give in for a take on this thought.
Watching about extinct life on Discovery inventions program , these thoughts went on and on and on... while I was constantly surfing channels. I just turned aside and gazed at my transparent mirror, I found something missing within my heart soul and felt like going out for a while to relax - after all am a single bachelor in my life. Immediately I turned off the TV where a documentary film on some business ethics in political sciences was getting broadcasted. Anyway I wore my tight slack and went out, locking the door behind.
This thought still persisting in my mind once in a while, I bumped into a library which is near far from my room. There I joined a small crowd talking about temporary tax increase in those so called calm zones. Within a short time break, I realized I wont fit into those butt headed topics and went away from myself. On the move I started taping live scenes through my eye lens, so that I can use them in writing this article if any. Way back to my place, though being a teetotaler, I thought of getting drunk legally. But with held the desire. I walked past the streets the whole evening like a living dead but acting naturally. At last I came back home. I took a hot shower bath and with a synthetic cotton towel around my waist I switched on my CD player for some soft rock to listen.
I poured the strong black coffee from the cold casserole with some ice cubes chips and sugar jelly on top. Gazing at the stars, wishing I should have been in some government organization instead of doing software designing, my thoughts flew all over the empty sky reaching nowhere.
Wait a minute for sometime ...let me do my exact estimation of these self proclaimed, so called advanced basic thoughts resembling like a new classic of the modern past.
Terribly pleased with all my true lies, sitting with thunderous silence all around in my balcony with an old new book in hand, drinking that bitter sweet cold coffee, and silently screaming that I completed this article - with the same difference from the beginning, I gave a start to end this article.
With little bit of religious tolerance and cruel kindness, I pray GOD to excuse all those people who would call this article as a genuine imitation of intelligent stupidity, so that they wont call me a wise fool.

sunday morning:
waking up late on a sunday morning is early.esp with the hubris gettin carried,i started doubting on my narcissistic folds.am i okay or is it just theworld around me making me feel as such.transmuting myself from this perception,got ready for this big day 20th aug - the National Day of Hungary.one of the most celebrated days in its calender apart from the nude festival we gonna have very soon sometime in sep but dunno when.this day u can see ppl and flags everywhere.buda+pest is a city bifurcated by the river danube called as "DUNA".buda on one side and pest on the other.this day is celebrated in a very boisterous grandeur way.we have air race over theDUNA and all kinda acrobatic ariel maneuvering feats will be done.its a mega event and internationally acclimed.we with all our gadgets went there for the air show and it was fabulous.being a speed freak, and to see the nose dives at 200mph its just a feast to eyes.its just the gush of adrenalin as if someone gonna put a boulder on the accelerator and leave the vehicle on the track.just imagine planes doings all these stunts just in front of u hardly 40 mts away.over the river...flying under the bridges.u r struck with agape and that speaks everything.

i got that pending work from friday so came back to office amidst this extravaganza walking for 30mins to catch the nearest tram.everything is blocked and walking is the shortest way to catch up, unless u take oneof those flights. at around 8:00pm i started back from my office to reach my pals...who were still there at that place waiting for the grand bonnanza of fireworks...
at 9:00pm.u can see min of 30000 ppl just around that chain bridge.
as i limn this blog now the time has come to take u ppl into an eldritch situation ucan never believe.somehow i met my friends and we all gathered just 10 feet from the danube bank.at three two one ...bang...the fireworks started.just after 1-2mins...it started drizzling slightly and we just took it light.within next 2 mins budapest is hit by a fatal storm and we dont hv time to run or save ourselves than to just stay where u r else jump into the river and get carried away.ppl r with kids..all temporary raised tents...and winds blowing at 100mph.u just cant run anywhere and we got split in the process for some shelter.oh my god this is one of the worst natural calamity i hv ever witnessed LIVE.getting hit by the ash from the fireworks,gushof the wind, heavy rain,mud , ppl jam packed, above all they will turn all the lights off along the entire bank.its a total worst case scenario we tend to see on AXN or on some disaster videos of NGC.dunno where to run, how to run, fear of stampede....gwaad....its a thing not to experience but only to be explained.i just ran to a near by tunnel but didnt dared to go inside no matter what.these europeans r big and being an indian built of 173cms u cant risk ur life by being in the crowd.high probability of getting suffocated, or some stampede,or u can get crushed between.all i did was to turn my face unto the wall leaving my rest everything to rain. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5269642.stm
in this fiasco i damaged my cell, my passport got soaked and smudged,lost my tram pass, few tickets, some bills, bruises in the back, what not.thinking the way how it started to the way how it ended, cant hv a series of events this bizzare within just 2 days.now imagine u losing a passport in a foreign land with this much of uncertainity in the world.u dont hv a passport that means u r illegal in that country.rest of the checkings u can always do but why this headaches.
i checked reg getting a new passport, and i hafta pay something around10k INR to get a new one.oops thats a ransom.but i dont hv an option.fortunately with my contacts i got a new passport all within 2.5 hrs and thats the best i can boast of my social contacts with the indian embassy, and that swim on saturday really added to this.yday i got my new passport and now i hafta get my new resident visa stamping on it...at the hungarian immigration tomorrow.
i always have an uncanny feeling, that i can survive any kinda calamity how hard it might be...or some accident or some crash or whatever.i justfeel this premonition dunno how and why.touch wood.so i dont worry.
if u have come this far reading, i hv nothing but to say thanks for ur patience and i will keep this entertainment keep going and keep growing.
my most weird week end - part 1
my first blog and this is regarding 18-19-20th August 2006 my most weird weekend..
friday evening:hmmm.....this mail is a redux of my weekend in black n white.my weekend started on friday evening around 10:15pm IST in a so lovely waywhich am not gonna share but it did start that time around where my PQ(psychological quotient) levels has hit a new style of my surrealistic thinking.basking under that i am supposed to go to my friends place to sleep for the weekend.JLT.spending lil more time in office as one of my dear friend asked me to wait as he wannatalk to me.with normal talks about cars and gurls ( the former predominating ...)slowly the talk got steered into revelations about life and living."whats this life and living"was the main radical base for the rest of the next 2hrs talk we had.whoaa....what best wayto spend a FRYday evening...to talk (okay to preach)reg life, career,love n living.this is what friendship is all about for ME.be the best give the best.no regrets.after this heavy mind set - went into an early sleep by 12:00 midnight.
saturday:
i looooooove saturdays.generally i will be on my higher levels of aphrodisiac on saturdays.i hafta do some pending work,so started to go to office.got a call from my new social contact cum friend who started a yahoo group for indians who are in hungary and me being its moderator we got close and share some common voluntary activity interests.he asked me to come for a swim in the lake called valence.gotta meet him near my office and we were joined by another person who is the 2nd high commissioner in the indian embassy of hungary.hmmm...high level social contacts and my style of networking.41 kms from budapest we went for that swim.infested with ppl in the most conspicuous skimpiest wear u cud hv ever seen as the sun was shining too bright.these europeans can survive eating sunlight i presume.just give them some sunlight, a mat, some bread and a lake/water resource they will spend their whole time doing nothing and loitering naked.trust me they do.just a panoramic view of that place will make any agoraphobic person die.we came off after a long spending in the water....i just go crazy for waters.when i build a house for myself i make sure my bathroom will be so big that itwill def give a complex to my bedroom - in size...! god bless my gurl ;-)
saturday evening:coming from that place back to budapest i rem tht i was invited to an indian nightdinner at my hungarian friend's house.went directly to her place.one of her friend(SAM)came from LEWES ( a place near LONDON), seemingly rich guy in his late forties, whoz genealogy descendsfrom india, but settled in UK for the past 40 years almost.pretty successful monetary life graph,married to a british, later again to a slovakian lady.meanwhile dated couple of other nationalities too.hez a restauranter having investing ideas for some food outlet in budapest.oenology being his another serious avocation - in one word i felt he is a replica of a pure epicurean.this i got confirmed when he cooked some indian/bengali cusines.he made fish...yoovie....he said it was just made keeping me in mind...coz my friend said that i like spicy food.i had my first taste of that fish...uff....its the most spicy hottest thing i hv ever had a bite in the recent past...of course not to mentioned when i bit my lip 3 days back which will always tops the chart buster in being hot n spicy.... ;-) ..(anyway thats "classified").after some wines and apricot juice for me the table talk started taking a form.there were 6 and am the youngest of all.one american english prof, one market research lady,my friend and her another friend who were into cultural anthropology,this uncle sam and this software guy thats ME.weird mixture of backgrounds.nothing is better than to spend time with these talks on a saturday evening with exotic delicacies in front...talks which involuntary requires to prove u r maturity and the refined display of cross culture etiquette.i enjoyed this evening.the talks varied from from wines to jeunesse dorée of UK contrast with central europe and india,chengiz khan to the dhal makhani,from dating to the monks of tibet,from psychology to ukraine gas probs, sex and scandals, art of living, hariprasad chaurasia to khalid jia..(this PM of bangladesh was a distant aunt to him it seems...)...what not.i feel its these cross cultural talks and meetings which makes u know more about the values of human kind.we learn a lot from chics to ethics.now-a-days one thing is always make me nuts and makes me go wild and perplex .these people from the west are so cool about their relations,past GFs/BFs,live-in relationships, practicing polygamy and plural marriages, and they go on leaving one another and they work out for other alternatives.we indians esp...we give in so much for a relation and for building a relationship, still we r hit back by all sorts of hipocracy of society and caste-isms and all these orthodox and stigmatic way of mind set.the amount of cathexis we invest on a person,considering me as a lil above avg indian way of taking a commitment for a relationship,i bet we can distribute that to 100 relations to stay committed life long in this west.here ppl crave for sincerity.in india we make the real sincerity become a grave.been seeing so many love stories drown.been meeting so many broken hearts.marriages of the loved ones with some NRIs esp, all crazy unpragmatic irrational reasonsof ending beautiful relationships,what not.i can quote 1000s of such kinds.life goes on....but that dosent mean u screw up a vissionary promissing life just for some taboos or some scare of a commitment or to always be a goodie person in the eyes of all.i feel one shud live in the heart of their own than in the eyes of some other.this thinking made me upset.totally got shrunk within.why why why...god only canexplain if he really exists.oops i went lil emotional here...anyway...coming back to that table...it was nice to match sam's rich cultural and business experience with that of my knowledge and the flairto make ppl listen to me and to accept my advices and speaking ZEN( my fav ) to all the remaining 5 counter-bodies.credit and thanks goes to my aunt...for the transfer of some of her pythonic powers and being the source to what i am now.shez like a tree to me.i owe my brain to her....!!
that thinking reg those topics on relations and commitments was persisting in the backof my mind and heavyness at heart but lookin cheerful i bid adieu to them and left forthat night....tasting saline on skin coz of that lake and scornful face which only i can see, i went back into deep thinking my usual hangout place with just one word in mind..."WHY"...??
....ohkaaaaaaay lemme pause this blog as of now coz i gotta a smalll work to do and i'll continue the rest of the blog lil laterrrrrrrrrrr....
