We Fight, 'Cause We Are The Same

We are two, of the same blood,

Neighbors, with a bond, brothers,

From the same mother-land,

Natives and relatives we share,

Yet we fight, we kill, we hate,

Each other, today, from the last 60,

From the day we took birth,

A reason, absent, truly invisible,

We share tastes, we share interests,

We share love too, deep hidden it is,

We don’t differ, in who we are,

In essence we are the same,

Brothers squabbling over a piece of cake,

Unnecessarily destroying each other,

Harming each other, wounding each other,

We can smile, together,

We can lead, together,

We can enjoy, together,

Our cells wish the same,

Though with those bitter memories,

The rebels throw us back, from handshakes,

Bullets fly, and innocent blood flows,

There’s a boundary, separating us,

But no wall to break, then why,

Why are we different, if we are the same,

In blood, in essence, related,

Brothers, carved from the same mother,

For the sake of, no reason at all,

We fight, just because we are the same.

Here is a video which you must watch- a great song with the perfect combination of meaningful and true lyrics, along with impeccable music.

Centurion

Does a century really matter? Sachin had a century of centuries, he was the first one to do it, but did anyone notice all the centuries others made? No, they did not. Now, that example is more than a century old too, isn’t it? So why is the century so important to us?

It isn’t, is it? We don’t really care what the world was 100 years ago; we just don’t have the time for that. We all know the important events of the last 100 years; from our school history lessons but let’s do a short recollection.

As Syrio Forel used to tell Arya Stark in Game of Thrones, “There is only one true God.”

We came across the one true God as the century progressed, in his Rajnikanth avatar. We also realized that all the other Gods and Goddesses were not really Gods but angels sent by Him to take care of the world in his absence.

Moving to politics, the BEST YOUTH LEADER award of the century goes to Rahul Gandhi for fighting in the elections at the age of 65. His manifesto still talks about how he is a youth leader, and that the main aim is women empowerment.

Arvind Kejriwal also has his name written for having the worst revolt of the century. That dharna was done by him against himself for reasons unknown, so that saves all the students the names, dates, titles and reasons.

After Hitler and Mussolini, we came across another mass-murderer, who surrendered without a fight. He did not want to kill people, but his aim was to kill the logic and mind of people. Sajid Khan, (his name is Khan and he is not a terrorist), was finally captured and banned from making films after his last blockbuster lackluster, “Housefull of Humshakals 3”.

We also held our heads high when Bollywood won all the Oscars, in all categories. This was made possible only by Himesh Reshamiya, who did all the work, from spot-boy, to director, to producer, and even the actress. The film was g-loved by the audience, but the senior most jury member, the Robert De Niro of India, Alia Bhatt, found the film to be just awesome.

That’s about enough for now, or I shall be literally torn to pieces.

Game Of Thrones

Game of Thrones. With Ty…no no, I won’t share spoilers. So, I began with the idea that I wanted a spoof, and then it came down to the fact that I couldn’t write 5 or 6 or how many ever novels and seasons will exist in the book and TV series. So, I will only be giving a brief introduction about the characters and maybe some new insights into the story. I am not going to forgive myself for this fabulous treacherous plan, but you all can, and should too.

The story is set with India depicted as Westeros. Yes, I am back to my old ways. The love story between politics and me continues heartily. During the elections, we saw that anyone and everyone could fall to a low in humanity with their horrendous statements, and that’s what happens in a Game of Thrones. They all want the Iron Throne, the power, the money, and they choose to ignore that winter is coming.

As is the setting, we have had a long standing war over Kashmir, and that is all that stands between us and Pakistan. In my version, that qualifies as The Wall, which is described as a 700-foot high barrier between the North, where the wildlings are building a strong army, and Westeros. Isn’t that so true? Our nation is holding talks for peace with Pakistan, and they continue breaking the cease fire and continue peppering our borders with bullets.

That is all a different matter, with nations coming in between, and it is quite a touchy subject, so I will get back to it later. For now, I’ll head on with my plan and I’ll try to entice your guts out of you by making you laugh. In Game of Thrones, we have seen nothing short of a million characters, all fighting and putting knives in the back, and trying to win.

One of the most seen figures, in memes more than the series (viewers will know what I mean), first on my list is Eddard of House Stark, The Lord of Winterfell, Warden of the North, and also the Hand of the King. His position in the Game of Thrones was destroyed quite early, and in our nation we have a similar personality, Arvind Kejriwal. As Ned preferred the fur coats and talked about caring for the people more than about the throne, Kejriwal exactly fits the bill with his scarf and talks about corruption. And yes the main dialogue used by both eternally, “Dharna is Coming!”

Next comes Ned’s friend, Robert Baratheon, the King of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the Head of House Baratheon. Doing nothing other than drinking and making merry, he is quite criticized for his ruling of the Seven Kingdoms, and he got the throne because there wasn’t anyone else who could do it. Add 2 and 2, and we get The Accidental Prime Minister! Manmohan Singh and Robert share their traits of being quiet rulers, and at the end of their terms, they have basically done nothing for the nation.

Moving to the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, Cersei Lannister, an intellectual and shrewd woman who would do anything to win, we all know who that is. The puller of strings, and the controller of a lot of things in the Game of Thrones, Sonia Gandhi. Her incestuous affair with power continues even after Manmohan has departed from office, and she now heads the Congress Party, or should we say the Gandhi party. One of her famous dialogues is: “In the Game of Thrones, you win or you die.” We all saw what happened to the Congress Party in these elections, they moved from winners to almost a non-existing entity.

Cersei’s oldest son, Joffrey, who succeeds his stepfather to the throne, likes to watch people suffer, and thinks that people will bow to him in fear. Misconceptions of our Shehzaada match this, as his repeated saying of women empowerment and youth is the future went in vain. As much as Joffrey likes seeing people in pain, Rahul Gandhi loves watching Pogo, or indirectly Chota Bheem. Age does have its issues though, and some responsibilities don’t come just like that.

The Lannisters are not all that exists in the Game of Thrones, but the Gandhi family does. Now I present to you Priyanka Gandhi as Sansa Stark. The poor girl who comes with her father, Ned Stark to King’s Landing, and ends up having a lot of disturbing things happen to her. Everyone says a lot to her, makes promises, calls her names, and she faces a lot of pain, but she can’t do anything about it. Doesn’t that strike us as Priyanka Gandhi trying haplessly to defend her husband and brother and family name and her party.

Leaving the best for last, I shall now talk about Tyrion Lannister. The cunning dwarf who manages to get his work done somehow, and would do anything for survival. I had initially thought of Narendra Modi, but with a last moment idea, Arnab Goswami runs away. Influential, smart and cunning, Arnab and Tyrion would side with anyone and everyone if there was any benefit seen. So now, will we see Arnab running for the Prime Ministerial post come the next elections (viewers will know why I say this).

I couldn’t fit Modi as a character, and Daenerys Targaryen remains as well. Well, they are the characters who have shown the world that they can work, even with all the problems they have faced, so I’ll just let them be, and I’ll go on.

Now moving on to Bollywood. I’ve been storing this desire for some time now, so it’s going to come out all together. There are the many houses in the Game of Thrones, and they all have their slogans. So what would the slogans be if Game of Thrones was made in India?

In my opinion, the slogans would range from ‘Sardi aa rahi hai’ (Stark) to ‘khoon pasina’ (Targaryen) to ‘Parivaar, kaam, sammaan’ (Tully) to ‘hamari hai aag’ (Baratheon). The Lannisters can’t be forgotten, so here is their slogan: ‘Sunlo humri awaaz ko!’

When I was reading about all the slogans to manage writing this, I came up with one of the stupidest but the best slogans. “We do not sow” of the Greyjoys. We saw Theon and his family almost on the brink of being killed, but then that is quite evident from their slogan. As is said, “As you sow, so shall you reap”. The Greyjoy’s don’t sow at all, then how will the Old Gods and the new provide them with results? :P

Game of Thrones has characters who are called names, so what would those be if India made its own Game of Thrones?

Tyrion ‘Imp’ Lannister- Chote Nawab

Daenerys Targaryen ‘Mother of Dragons’- Chipkali ki amma

‘Kingslayer’ Jaime Lannister- Deshdrohi Darinda

Jon Snow- Najayaz bitwa bana sipahi

‘The Mountain’ Gregor Clegane- Pahaad

Hand of the King- Raja ka haath

Petyr Baelish ‘Littlefinger’- Choti ungli

‘The Onion Knight’ Ser Devos- Sipahi kando ka

‘Red Lady’ Melisandre- Laal daayan

‘The Hound’ Sandor Clegane- Wafaadaar kutta

“In the name of The K-Factor, of House Blogs, the first of his Name, King of Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, I do sentence you to laugh and then comment at the bottom of the page.”

PS: This post has just been written for the sake of entertainment and is not meant to harm or hurt anyone or their sentiments. On the other hands, to my country neighbors, friends, readers, and fellow humans, I say that we must all unite before the darkness of crime consumes us all. “The night is dark and full of terrors.” We face the daily problems of inflation and corruption, but scarcity is still to appear as a strong enemy. We must all stand as one, and address these issues, which we can relate to as the white walkers. We must save our world, or we shall end up the way George Martin wanted his book to end.

Sleeping Beauty

News has just come in that Facebook and other Social Networking sites are going to ban the use of ‘Nahi samjhe toh Pogo dekho’ in posts or even comments. There are rumors that this move has been brought about by the Indian National Congress, after their latest debacle involving their Prime Ministerial candidate, Rahul Gandhi.

Rahul Gandhi was caught snoozing inside the parliament which was discussing heavily about inflation and price rises. Many have come to his rescue and said that he was not snoozing, but listening deeply with concentration to what was being said.

Rahul Gandhi had later called a press conference to clear all the problems, and this was hijacked by the known hijacker Sonia Gandhi. She said that, “Rahul was listening very intently to every word that was said.”

When this was met with scorn among the press, she changed her statement and said, “It was just a minute nap, and it is not uncommon to do so. Rahul has been working late into the night these days to plan a new manifesto for the next elections. The defeat has changed him, and he now sees videos about how children show acts of bravery and save their village and king from the bad people.”

When questions were asked about these children hailing from Dholakpur, the fictitious town in Chota Bheem, Rahul Gandhi’s face was filled with light and a smile grazed his face. His face moved slightly up and down in an incomprehensible nod, but it was confirmed covered up by Sonia Gandhi when she pushed him off stage.

Later on, an unnamed Congress official said that it was not Rahul Gandhi’s mistake, but it was the mistake of society.

“Rahulji is just trying to take back what is his from Alia Bhatt. She has ruthlessly taken away his title of being the dumbest smartest person in India, and Rahulji just wants his rightful title back. People have been repeatedly telling him to watch Pogo for his nonsensical creative ideas, and he is just following their advice and listening to the public’s views. That is what a leader is- someone who listens to what the citizens tell him to do. And now, they (BJP) are punishing him for doing what they should be doing.”

Right after this came through, Facebook and other Social Networking sites made their decision and released it to the public. The move has been connected correctly with what happened in the parliament, but the Congress has denied any hand in the move.

Meanwhile, Social Networkers have now come up with a new slogan, “RaGa giri”. This has been explained as something to say when someone does a dumb and foolish smart and clever act in front of a whole horde of people i.e. the Social circuit.
