FACEBOOK in Virtuelle Träume

This is not done, not done at all, I wish I could undo this & that & everything else! - I was being  traumatized, being affected by the events, that were not even real, resulting in emotional & behavioral outburst that just wont let me sleep.

As Gackenbach puts it: “Your brain’s kind of stupid, at least when it comes to reality.”

Not so surprisingly like everyone else, I too am online on the internet most of the time killing my time on everything else & every other place on the internet that I kept visiting. I might be wandering to & fro, from one to another, nevertheless I would make sure to visit my facebook account to check about friends , family & strangers texting me & reciprocating to them & a few likes here & there & a thank-you note to the people who commented on my posts.

With faces that are more or less faceless or fake & if it all a picture could speak a million words, I often found it difficult to find profiles with no pictures, that often would speak nothing -  no words of wisdom at all would these blank profiles speak about, rather not tell anything at all in particular about the person who had this profile, with there either too privately encrypted timelines or bundles of everything else that flaunted over the profile that had useless links shared in to an extent, that it could take ages to actually decrypt the whereabouts of the stranger who seem to have been strangely profiling randomly over social-networking 

I might be addicted to it I guess, like everyone else & nothing better to do, hopping on from one profile to another. The funny part is ,when I sleep at odd or even times, I keep visiting several profiles - commenting, hitting the likes and sending friend requests on facebook & often accepting the friend requests , clicking on my mouse through & through strange profiles with faces, that were unknown to the ones those I knew, shuffling from one id to another, clicking these tabs & this Virtuelle Träume or virtual dreams to  my surprise made me wonder how addicted I might be to things or people or a set of emotions that it could not leave me peacefully in my dreams either. It gets quite hilarious that I am on these sites, for all that while and I am not anywhere else.

Put down your phone after an intense Pokémon Go session, and you might find yourself thinking about “catching” the dog across the street as if it were a character in the game.

I guess I soon need to great my dream analysis done and join a 'Dream Analysis' (Traume Analyse) page on facebook, if there was any(I am still to search for it). I am sure I do not need a psychiatrist! (& I specially went on google to actually search the correct spelling of psychiatrist as I have been getting short of words of wisdom, that I hardly remember half of the things, that are actually meant to be there for a lifetime, but have difficulty remembering for a lifetime). Most of the times, I would get up from my sleep (dreaming) and start thinking in the middle about whether I was I online in real or was it again a dream & the next time when I was online on the internet I would make a point to check whether any of that actually happened or it was a sign about something that might happen soon or was it just the past & the present that my preconceived notions were taking me involuntarily in viciousness to these dreamy hallucinations - succession of images, ideas, emotions & sensations occurring in the middle of the sleep.

These gadgets are appealing because they’re temporary: Take off your headset, and you’re back in the real world.

Not fair at all, definitely not a good sign to be online when you are offline & sleeping. - Anonymous (27 yr, Male, Germany)

A STRANGER I met Virtually

"Mysterious and intimidating to contemplate, the human brain is the most complex thing there is and the most difficult task it can undertake is to understand itself." - David Noonan

There was a Stranger (A person from Dehradun who often used to visit Delhi, Though we have not know each other for much time thorough the Facebook! It was recently though that we started much of commenting on to each other's status updates. We had been virtual strangers & never met in real face to face. We chatted & talked less though but a couple of times. It all started as a add professionally! Well it was because of some reason that we kind of became family,  discussing about each other's life in general and work etc.And we often had a third person as a topic of our discussion. "This person called me something that was so out of the world, do not want to mention it here though. But it was one of the worlds best thing someone could ever call you".

We were actually discussing about this third person person and I told him "listen - I would not appreciate you forcing me do things & would not want to swear on with regards to this third person and all & I got a revert "okay, will never text you and disturb you". I tried making things clear, trying to sort it all out!, but there was no response from the other side. in a way I could feel anything could be back to normal! I messaged and tried my effort to be in touch again! because ,it was just a stupid thing causing an issue over a text message, that just took it all onto a very different track. I had lost him finally...over a misjudgment. Why do these misunderstanding and lack of communication cause such things to happen!

It's sad how words like relationships, care, love, friendship, brother are so unreal and so fake, and so easy to forget and loose. I cried after that and I could not help console myself. I didn't even got a good night message that I used too, Once you start getting addicted to someone or something you just start to miss it when the person is not there! - Anonymous (34 yr, old Male, Delhi,India)

KASHMIR-Who's it? Who's getting it!

"Kiska hai, kisko Mileyga"

Kashmir today is without Kashmiri Pandits. A religious minorily, with its 5,000 years of evidenced history and roots linked with Kashmir, was under a concerted plan of ethnic cleansing, forcibly hounded out enmasse from their natural habitat. (Text Source;Shri Ashok Bhans's Paper)

The current agitation in Indian-Held Kashmir is rooted in the struggle of the people for the exercise of the right of self-determination. Peaceful processions chanting demands for freedom were fired upon by Indian Army and Police. Hundreds of men, women and children have been killed or wounded. New Delhi’s allegations of assistance to the Kashmiri people from the Pakistan side are unfounded. Objective reports in foreign media testify that the Kashmiri agitation is indigenous.

Pakistan upholds the right of the people of Jammu and Kashmir to self-determination in accordance with the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council. These resolutions of 1948 and 1949 provided for the holding of a free and impartial plebiscite for the determination of the future of the State by the people of Jammu & Kashmir.

Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed territory. It does not involve the principle of respect for the unity and territorial integrity of states to which Pakistan adhere. Attempts to forcibly suppress the legitimate demands of the people of Jammu and Kashmir are doomed to failure. Similarly, threats of use of force will not affect Pakistan’s resolve to maintain its position of principle. The Indian claim is that the State is an integral part of the Indian Union and brooks no further discussion. With such a rigid approach, no scope for manoeuvre, what hope can be expected from any talks on the issue which India sometimes agrees to open with Pakistan to hoodwink the world opinion.

Ever since the Simla Agreement was signed, a quarter of a century ago, India has insisted that the issue is purely bilateral one and must be solved without any outside intercession or mediation. India is so allergic to the very reference of the issue in any international forum that one needs to recall India’s bitter reaction to Nelson Mandela’s mention of “Kashmir” at the 1998 NAM Conference in South Africa. Even as India comes to half-hearted international pressure to resolve the flashpoint issue of Kashmir with its neighbour, it only agrees to bilateral talks to gain time.

In May 1998 the issue came to the fore front in the wake of nuclear explosions first by India and then by Pakistan, after which many genuinely hoped that international pressure would be brought to bear on India to come to a meaningful resolution of the Kashmir problem that has bedeviled the two nations of the sub-continent and has eaten up so much of their meager resources. One thing is starkly clear : without an active interest of big powers to come to the rescue of Kashmiris, India will never agree to any meaningful talks on Kashmir.

To avenge their defeats at the hands of India, Pakistan embarked on sponsoring terrorism in Kashmir. It is a matter of common knowledge that, for the last 10 years, the people of Kashmir, particularly Kashmiri Hindus and Hindus of the Doda district in Jammu, in particular, are under perpetual threat from the Pakistani-sponsored militants. They lured and tempted the uneducated youth to take arms against their own brethren with whom they had lived for centuries in peace and tranquility. (Text Source;Shri Ashok Bhans's Paper)To be more precise, the terrorist violence has brought about a disaster to all the communities in Kashmir, its culture, its development, its overall social conditions and so on.

Anna Hazare WHO?

Kisan Baburao Hazare born 15 January 1940 in Bhingar, popularly known as Anna Hazare is an Indian social activist who is especially recognized for his contribution to the development of Ralegan Siddhi, a village in Parner taluka of Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra, India and his efforts for establishing it as a model village, for which he was awarded the Padma Bhushan 'the third-highest civilian award' by the government of India in 1992. He was felicitated by the Ahmednagar Municipal Corporation on 15 January 1987 and by the Pune Municipal Corporation. Hazare had six younger siblings and the family faced significant hardships. Hazare's childless aunt offered to look after him and his education, and took Anna to Bombay.Hazare studied up to the 7th standard in Bombay and then sought employment, due to the economic situation in his household. He started selling flowers at Dadar to support his family. He soon started his own shop and brought two of his brothers to Bombay. Gradually Hazare's income increased to around Rs. 800 per month, a decent income in those times. He started his career in the Indian Army as a driver in 1963. He spent his spare time reading the works of Vivekananda, Gandhi & Vinoba Bhave: they inspired him to become a social worker and activist. During the Indo-Pak War of 1965 he was the only survivor in a exchange of border fire while driving a truck in Khem Karan sector. During the mid-1970s he survived a road accident while driving.

'The face that launched a thousand ships' - A reference to the mythological figure Helen of Troy (or some would say, to Aphrodite). Her abduction by Paris was said to be the reason for a fleet of a thousand ships to be launched into battle, initiating the Trojan Wars.
Anna launched hazaar -e- missiles to hit corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. He has now become Anna Hazard to politicians.

It seems these days everyone wants Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare to endorse their cause.In an attempt to resolve issues - from corruption to Maoists - AH has been fighting against corruption for a long time he is fighting for LB which gives way to strict punishment for corrupt people and even questioning judges if they are involve in a corruption.

"I will fast until Jan Lokpal Bill is passed" - AH

The 73-year-old anti-corruption campaigner AH called off his five-day-old hunger strike on Saturday morning at Jantar Mantar after receiving a gazette notification from the Center regarding constitution of a 10-member joint committee, comprising members from the government and civil society, to draft an effective LPB.

His fast may or may not lead to a movement to cleanse India of its ills. It was essentially a protest that struck a chord in many.In the past, AH’s fasts had compelled the Maharashtra government to drop ministers. This time, what made the difference was that he was in the national capital, under the glare of a media which hyped it up, the fast came after a plethora of scams which had robbed middle class Indians of a feel-good they had experienced in recent years, and the government was anyway on the back foot.

It is true that those who live in glass houses should not cast stones at others. It is possible that those who are supporting an end to corruption may well have paid money to get their child admitted to a school,to buy a railway ticket,or to get a file moving in a government office, or worse. They may be “corrupt” or “clean” in varying degrees. But that does not mean that they cannot cry“enough is enough”,and demand an end to a corrupt system which has corroded our polity and society.

The controversies sought to be created around Anna Hazare’s fast have obfuscated the real issue — which is the enactment of the LB. It was this objective which had led Hazare to undertake a fast and he compelled the Government to notify a joint committee to draft an effective legislation, hanging fire for 42 years.

“This just the beginning of the fight against corruption. Our responsibility has now increased. We will ensure that the LB is passed before August 15, 2011” - Hazare said.

The 10-member Joint Drafting Committee with Cabinet members — Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee (chairman), Home Minister P. Chidamabaram, Law Minister Veerappa Moily (convenor), Telecom and HRD Minister Kapil Sibal & Water Resources Minister Salman Khurshid. Apart from Mr. Hazare, civil society represented by the former Law Minister, Shanti Bhushan (co-chairperson), the former Supreme Court Judge, Justice N. Santosh Hegde, lawyer Prashant Bhushan & RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal.

Corruption is a complex malaise in India. It is rooted in opaque and badly-run institutions that have been fostered and tolerated over the years. Then there is the stifling, post-colonial bureaucracy. Everyone knows the warped government policies, like misplaced food and energy subsidies, are open to abuse. Add to that the failure to reform India’s election system with its shadowy private funding of candidates, many of whom have criminal records. And many people – some now protesting against corruption – have become habitual bribe givers to navigate the system they have lost faith in. More cynicism has bred more corruption. It’s not clear how far Mr Hazare’s campaign will go – but setting up an citizen’s ombudsman will not be the end of corruption. There’s much more to do.

The Congress would do well to remember that it was the use of dirty tricks which gave a fill up to VP Singh’s campaign against corruption during 1987-89,and brought him to power, replacing Rajiv Gandhi. Of course, Anna Hazare is no VP Singh. But the mood against corruption is reminiscent of the late eighties.

AH's efforts include: Transformation of Ralegan Siddhi, Uprooting Alcoholism, Watershed Development Programme, Milk Production, Education, Removal of Untouchability, Collective Marriages, Gram Sabha, Anti-Corruption Protests in Maharashtra, Right to Information Movement & the None of the above (NOTA) - Electoral Reform Movement & Lokpal Bill Movement.

The dream of India as a strong nation will not be realized without self-reliant, self-sufficient villages, this can be achieved only through social commitment & involvement of the common man. – Anna Hazare

I will also like to share one such Campaign Effort for the AH Cause, that is known to me, for which I was a part too!

'threemonkeyscampaign' - 'A Million Voices for Anna Hazare' started by Journalists Hindol Sengupta & Shweta Punj to support Anna Hazare and his fight. It comes from the simple Gandhian image of three monkeys with their hands on their eyes, ears & mouth signifying: See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Speak No Evil. It aimed to gather one million on & offline signatures supporting the campaign & urged each person who signs to send an image, photo or sketch of a monkey to the Prime Minister's Office and the office of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi urging them to remember Gandhiji's teachings! Hundreds of people have lent support to the Three Monkeys Campaign.Also presenting the names of all the people who have, online, lent their support to the campaign & sent their ideas for change. - Anonymous (65 yr old, India)

I HATE CRICKET

The fact that I just cannot stand the game of cricket has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I am a girl of 19 years from India. I am a sports enthusiast, so much so that I think Nadal and Cristiano are demi gods. But apart from Sachin Tendulkar, I do not even bother to know the names of our cricketers. Here is why:

There is no action for most part of the game. I don’t know if any other sports use the term “slog over”. This very term points at the dull game cricket is. I mean if a sport consists of 300 balls and only in 60 balls you are supposed to “slog” it out, what kind of a game is that? In Tennis Nadal is on the go from the first shot. Don’t even get me started on test cricket.Enjoy the game with just a e-scorecard. Cricket is the only game i have personally witnessed people enjoying with out even watching the game. In my office, there are these guys who, whenever India is playing, are tuned to some cricket site the and enthusiastically discuss the game without even watching a single bowl being bowled. Gentleman’s game- Indeed. I think the people who coined the term were too polite to use the word “Effeminate” to correctly describe this game. This very term grandly suggests the no drama, no adrenalin sport that is cricket. And what is a sport without action? Cricket is as exciting as watching Micheal Phelps swim in the pool leisurely. Thanks god Australia too plays cricket. At least they bring in some fun. Lethargic sport. Which other sport will let you sit on the chair or stand digging your nose in one corner of the field for most parts of the game? Cricketers and Fitness just don’t go hand in hand.

No looks, no attitude. Look at footballers. They have the attitude and loads of it. And look at out cricketers. Dhoni is like a massive bull who has been decorated with colors and accessories. Sehwag is like a over blown balloon, Yuvraj Singh is! eeks! Gimme Ronaldinho any day!

No variety- No game should be so esoteric that to appreciate it you have to have pick up a book on it or maybe Google for technical details. Cricket is simply without variety to the untrained eye. The same routine repeated over and over and over again.If you do not agree with me answer these- why out of hundreds of countries do only a handful (ten or so I think) of nations play this game. Why is cricket adopting the rules of football in the Twenty Twenty? Why is cricket making itself shorter everyday??? - Anonymous

Smelly FETISHES

“I lifted her chin up to meet me. She was practically trying to swallow her own lip, eyes locked shut. Like she was trying to wish away her own arousal. Just as my grabbing her by the cheeks and forcing her mouth open. My pretty fetish fish.” Even though all of us are forever keen on having more sex, most of us can't proclaim we know all about it, right? Two people might be sharing a bed but can have totally different likes and dislikes. Way beyond the generic classifications of black and white, sex is mostly grey, all fifty shades of it. There are many fetishes that are still brushed under the carpet - Whatever you can think of, there’s probably a fetish for it. Well I do not have a problem with people having fetishes, but I certainly have with a smelly one. I ended up chatting with these random individuals & never expected them to be, how they actually made me think of them initially. We as complete strangers started unlayering each others preferences - figuring out the possibility if at all of getting clicked. I was keen to understand where would this lead us to. Surprisingly, I absolutely had no idea that it would end into something so ugly, I was utterly unprepared for. Poop-Buddy? No way!...Thinking about it scares the shit out of me. Sexual practices involving shit(SCAT) - excrement (especially of an animal; dung). I cant just even stand the thought of human feces, it - makes me feel gross imagining things. Gosh 1 would rather puke.”Please don't wash it - I would want to lick & smell your asshole while you just came out from the washroom & farted on my face. “I like the very smell of it" he said & would want you to finger my anus while I sniffed yours.“What if my shit comes out while you fingered? he asked. Do you love waters sports? (golden shower or golden nectar,piss play) - I absolutely love peeing(urinated) on my partner & getting it on me. We could sit together on a shitpot taking turns sniffing, eating feces & drinking pee - I love the taste of it. Would you? I would like to sniff your sweaty socks, underwear(panty) and bra. I also have a thing for BDSM(interpreted as a combination of Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism and Masochism is now used as a catch-all phrase covering a wide range of activity), spanking & armpit sweat - ‘diving into pit, was like laying my tongue on a ripe piece of mango - so earthy and rich’& he would goo on & on. These chats continued more then once & everytime ended smelly & shitty, rather being witty. Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop Have you heard of Scatman? A man who very poorly named himself. Probably unaware of the definition of scat, and most likely regrets being named under that title. Known professionally as Scatman John, was an American musician and singer who created a fusion of scat(a type of jazz singing, a form of extremely fast rapping where meaningless syllables of sounds, words or vocals are improvised and added - sung to a melody)singing and dance music. I've read a lot of articles over the years that theorize armpits are naturally tied to human sexuality due to the presence of pheromones and can even help you find partners that you're meant to be with. I'm not sure how accurate those claims are, but I like to think there's at least some credence, if only just to make it feel a little less weird than other turn-ons. There is also something about exchanging bodily fluids in general that can be hot for some. The fact that it is 'wrong' and 'dirty' can be a turn on in and of itself.They like the idea of ingesting something that's considered really taboo - taking someone, their waste or their fluids inside has erotic appeal. From scatology (related to feces) coprophilia, fart (eproctophilia) fetishists, urophilia (golden shower and watersports), armpit fetishism or maschalagnia - They probably would get hard just by sniffing and would come quick - It's a real turn-on for them. It raises there kink. There are people out there that are actually quite fond of armpits. From loving the smell to the texture to just every dang thing about them, some people love them so much, they even fantasize & want to fuck them(armpits). Yeah you read that right - they just want to stick there cock in.
“When I think of armpits, I think of stinky, sweaty, hairy inconvenient crevices.”Every time we would chat, they would rant about there role-plays. It’s weird, makes me go do "eew & yuck - a big turn off for me. I’ve also come across people having foot fetish (foot partialism, foot worshipping or podophilia), the ones who cross-dress & body modification enthusiasts. " Ruskin said. "By putting on those clothes, they can tap into that." Your fetish might not necessarily be mine too, unless we both mutually agreed upon a consensual one, while enjoying sex - making out. Not just anyone & everyone would digest or could be a part of ones fetish-friendly approach. I am happy having no fetishes at all. I am old school, I like good old fashioned axillary love & normal sex. I aint no "mistress", "domme" or "dominatrix" & I dont like these "tie-me-up-games." The whole idea of stuff in its extremism (to which my views were differently opinionated) disappoints me.
There was this sketch from a 1950 work named ‘Bizarre Honeymoon’ showing foot worship of one of the feet of a dominatrix by a submissive man, while her other foot rested over the man's head, using it as a footstool. For some, taking on a role of compliance or helplessness offers a form of therapeutic escape; from the stresses of life, from responsibility, or from guilt. For others, being under the power of a strong, controlling presence may evoke the feelings of safety and protection associated with childhood. They likewise may derive satisfaction from earning the approval of that figure. While some, who regard pain as central to their behavioral spin, experiences during early sexual development can have a profound effect on the character of sexuality later in life, Such acts of kinky activities, erotic humiliation & powerplay(as instigator or receiver) made them felt accepted.It is necessary to be able to identify each person's psychological "squicks" or triggers. Such losses of balance due to sensory or emotional overload are common. The community is diverse, made up of people of different ages and sexual identities who simply want to be left to engage in something they enjoy. “Scat! go away...Leave me alone" - (25, Bangalore, Female) Anonymous
