Art of Darkness!

Art of Darkness!

It’s really astonishing ,isn’t it? How one reel of music , few chords and a few lines of lyrics ,and an idea can change your life? What an idea sirji !!!The song just replicates your life. One such song is ‘My immortal ‘ by Evanascence. The golden lines of the great poet,”It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all” .Sometimes, I wonder if he had it right. I’m so tired of being here | Suppressed by all my childish fears | And if you have to leave| I wish that you would just leave | Because your presence still lingers here | And it won’t leave me alone You know ,no more your beloved one belongs to you. Even wherever you go,with whomsoever you spend the time,the sound and even the empty glass reminds their presence.(Sometimes you might feel ,its worser than demon) .You are so desperate to move on, but still you don’t know where to go. These wounds won’t seem to heal |This pain is just too real |There’s just too much that time cannot erase Everyone said time can heal your wound. You too desperately want it to be cured .Yes time can do incredible and ineffable things.Time is more likely a reel of bandage .Yes you have taken steps to cure!.But ironically,your condition still worsens,since no medicine have been found till now to heel your wound. Bandage is just a eyewash. Inside it creates septic and makes your wound more complex. When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears | When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears | I held your hand through all of these years | But you still have | All of me These lines are ineffably painful ,because it reminds the beautiful past,which you are longing in the present,which you can never ever get it. It can remind you the “Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind”.A man, Joel Barish, heartbroken that his girlfriend Clementine underwent a procedure to erase him from her memory, decides to do the same. However, as he watches his memories of her fade away, he realizes that he still loves her, and may be too late to correct his mistake.You realize you are in the Jeols stage and not as lucky as Clementine. Now you know you are lost-In the dark.

CarlsBerg Economics

One fine morning after waking up around 10’o clock, I just opened my mail box…As usual there were 100’s of  forward msgs  Among them subject of one message was alarming.(ie If you didn't forward this mail to atleast 10 people ,then you will go to  hell…bla…bla..) ..This kindled my inquisitiveness to open the mail

Here the story goes…..

Ten guys went to bar to drink Carlsberg Beer(My dear male friends ,I am not sure if you like this brand!).The bar owner asked them to pay the bill of Rs100 .They decided to pay the bill based on their livelihood status.

This is congruous with the way, taxes are paid in India.

First 4 guys (The destitute)= Rs 0(Their income level is low)

 The fifth guy=Rs 1

 The sixth guy=Rs 2

 The seventh guy=Rs 6

 The eighth guy=Rs 7

 The ninth guy=Rs 25

 The tenth guy(The Opulent)=Rs 59

This was their customary task. They seemed to be quite happy with this fabulous scheme.

One fine day ,the bar owner wanted to  make his  regular customers happy by giving some discount .So he informed  them to pay the bill of Rs 80.

 Now they decided to carve up the profit in the same way they did for paying the bill early.

The first four guys cannot enjoy the profit, since if they were permitted to share the profit , then they should  have paid for their CarlsBerg.

The fifth guy enjoys a discount of Rupee 1. Now he joins the first four guys group.

The sixth guy enjoys a discount of Re 1.

The seventh guy saves Rs 2.So its enough if he pays just Rs 4.

The eighth guy enjoys a discount of Rs 2.So its enough if he pays just Rs 5

The ninth guy enjoys a discount of Rs 3.He pays just  Rs 22.

The tenth guy enjoys a discount of  Rs 11.He just pays Rs 48.

Since the richest guy enjoys maximum profit(Rs 11),other nine guys yelled at him. They thought  that the rich  will become richer and  the poor  will become poorer. 
"If the free society cannot help the many who are poor ,then they cannot save the few who are rich"-Kennedy.
So they killed the richest guy.

The next day the nine guys went to the bar to drink Carlsberg. After they drank they were shocked on looking at the bill,since they can’t even pay half of the bill. They just have forty one rupees (0+0+0+0+1+2+6+7+25=41) which is less than Rs 90.

Moral: If we don't give tax benefits to rich people. They may fly to the most economy friendly country where they can enjoy tax benefits. Like the remaining nine guys we cannot survive without the richest. So we cannot ask rich people to pay beyond a certain level. Their existence is important.So my dear friends before blaming government for not levying high taxes for rich people ,please do remember this Carlsberg Economics. We have to accept the fact that we wanted capitalism and so we have to bear the pain of the injection ,if we want to be cured from illness.As much as I'm tempted to relate this to Karl Marx's philosophy and mind numbing economic theories, I'm conscious that I want the victory symbol as well,and thus bid adieu with this. 

Cheers,

G’tami.
