Finding Ways to Promote Integrity

The concept of integrity is important for all of us to understand. We must all act properly and encourage others to do the same. Failure to do this is really unnacceptable. Finding ways to promote integrity is valuable for all us as we move forward. I was aware of that as well.

What My Next Move will be

Right now I am at the crossroads. Where I will go from here will determine my future in the immediate short term. The name of the game this time is committment and what level I will need to make. I was aware of that as well.

Improvements in Game Play are long over due

Right now San Antonio my team is playing well. However there have been times this season when we have appeared flat footed. Our recent imrpovement in game play is a welcomed change of pace. I hope we can maintain it as we make a push for the playoffs. I was aware of that as well.

The BFS just plain Sucks

The BFS (Barber Free Society) has got to be one of the most ridiculous concepts ever cooked up. Never cut your own hair it makes you look like a dork. Always go to a barber once a month and get it cut professionally. I was aware of that as well.

The Meaning of Lahore

The meaning of the Indian movie Lahore is that decency defies geography. It is a feel good story of the Good Will Kick Boxing Championship held in Lahore Pakistan and the quest for justice for one of the players. I was aware of that as well.

Lahore is Tonight

Tonight I am seeing the Indian Movie Lahore at Regal Cinema here in Mumbai town. It looks like good times and smooth sailing all around. Lahore is the story of a boxer and his fight to end the battle. I was aware of that as well.

Hindi is not my Language

I do not speak Hindi and I have no intention on learning it any time soon. My language has always been English. It will always be English. I do not consider Hindi to be of any value to me. I was aware of that as well.

New Poetry

Right now I am developing a new round of poetry. Writing it is a spiritually expansive process to say the least. The whole deal is rather good right now and I know it. I was aware of that as well.

Assessing RC Buford's Legacy in Hoops

In time to come I think that San Antonio Spurs GM RC Buford will be seen as one of the best GMS in the game today. The man is a wizard at what he does and he does not get enough credit for his skills. He after all drafted two hall of fame caliber players in Tim Duncan and David Robinson. The man obviously knows what it takes to win. I was aware of that as well.

Literature as a tool of Struggle

Literature has often been a political and intellectual weapon throughout history. One remembers Alexander Solsynitsyn's Gulag Archipelago as his fight against the Soviet Union's belittling of the individual. One also remembers that literature is visionary by its nature. Literature has often been a force for prophecy and change. I was aware of that as well

Dispatches From Detail

Right now I am on the road to Delhi, I have to straighten up some issues with my Indian Visa. Due to Headley being nabbed I have problems as they suspect me of being a terrorist which is more than a little ridiculous as I am as far removed from being a terrorist as one could imagine. Still that is the real legacy outside of the heinous brutality that it gives us good people a bad name. None the less it is my situation to deal with it. I was aware of that as well

Headley is a Double Agent

LET operative Headley got arrested in Chicago USA and was planning terrorist activities in South Asia. This fool got arrested by the FBI. Now they suspsect that I am a terrorist because of this. I was aware of that as well.

Day of the Cold Part II

Today I still have this uber annoying cold. It just seems to hang around and it doesn't go away any time soon. Still I have to make the most of a bad situation. I was aware of that as well.

Day of the Cold

Right now I have a bit of a soar throat. It was induced from moving between rapidly hot to rapidly cool climates within rooms. Still the process has been somewhat unique right now. I am trying to make the most of the given situation. I was aware of that as well.

Connections worth Keeping

My friends Benny and Arras are definitely connections worth keeping. I am going to Benny's wedding in the summer and it looks like I will have a busy summer at that. There will be two trips within a trip. Additionally I have to do other things like get a new passport. It looks like good times for all. I was aware of that as well.

Enjoying My Day Off

Today I am enjoying my day off. It is Gudi Padwa universe creation day here in India. I am enjoying not working today and I intend to have some fun. It looks like smooth sailing and good times all around. I was aware of that as well.

Living for just this Day

Right now I am practicing the power of now. I am living for this day and for no other. The situation around me is changing and evolving. I am trying to make the best of a difficult situation. I was aware of that as well.

Fishing Days

This week I have been ice cold in terms of my writing. The stories just aren't there and it is no use forcing them out when you can't focus. Writing is an art form but you can only do it with a presence of mind. American Author Ernest Hemingway said that when he couldn't write he went fishing. So I guess this has been a fishing week for me. I was aware of that as well.

Bobby Sands all over Again

The current terror trials of Mohammad Ajmal Emir "Kasab" is exactly like the Bobby Sands terror trials in Britain in the 1960's. The similitarities are quite stunning as civilized countries attempt to administer justice to evil people. Kasab maintains this false front of innonence. He claims that he was picked up by Indian Police before 26/11 when that is not true. Personally I hope the Indian Courts here in Mumbai nail him to a wall. I was aware of that as well.

Mumbai is Better than Delhi

I must take umbridge with the The Hindustan Times livability index which found that Delhi was a better city than Mumbai. I see Mumbai as the a vastly superior city to Delhi. The latter comes off as pointless hostile, cramped, smoky and cruddy. Also the Indian Elite tend to agree with me that Mumbai is a better city. The Tatas live here, as do the Ambanis, Amitahb Bacchan the actor has his residence in the city. It is a huge vote of confidence for my adopted home. I was aware of that as well.

The Passport

The next nut I will have to crack is my passport. When I go back to California this summer I will go back to the Depart of State and the Bureau of Immigration and get it. It will take some time but it will be worth it. I was aware of that as well.

A Trip to the Dentist

Today I am going to Grant Road via that train and I am going to see my dentist Dr. Suresh M. Shah DDS. It looks like good times and after that I am going to have lunch and go strait home. There will be no office today so I will get home slightly earlier than yesterday. I was aware of that as well.

Tonedeafness Just plain Sucks

My coworkers at my job are utterly and completely tone-deaf. None of them has a stitch of vocal abilities and yet they keep on trying to. There should be a rule somewhere that states that Those who Cannot Sing Shouldn't attempt to. Please spare our air space. I was aware of that as well.

Working on New Poetry Now

Right now I am working on new verses. It looks like good times and smooth sailing are yet ahead. Yesterday was a bit of a wash and I hope that today will be better. The process of elimination moves forward. I was aware of that as well.

A Trip To Juhu

Yesterday we made a trip to Juhu via the train. It was pretty fun and we hung out at Crosswords Book Store at the Shoppers Stop there. We also had a good dinner of chicken and noodles. It was good times all around.

Pepsi is Liquid Garbage

Pepsi tastes like crap, it is intensely to sweet. The flavoring that they use is terrible. I don't know how anyone stands to drink that stuff. The drink is a terrible product from start to finish. Give me a coke any day. I was aware of that as well.

Getting Back to Winning

Slowly but surely I am getting back to winning. It is important to win and it is important to move forward. Sometimes life can be a real bitch but one should always recover. Tomorrow is a new day but I am going to make the most of today. I was aware of that as well.

John Brown was a Hero

American Abolitionist John Brown was a hero and a freedom fighter who struggled and died to give others a better shake in life. He was hung for treason and he led a life of struggle and pain. His legacy endures far beyond Harper's Ferry and extends to the civil war. I was aware of that as well.

Life of a Working Stiff

Right now I am a working stiff, newest member of the proliteriat. It is an interesting and unique experience to say the least. However things are changing for me righ now. The way forward is more complex than the road behind. I was aware of that as well.

Invictus is a great movie

Last night I saw the movie Invictus about the rugby match between team South Africa and Team New Zealand in the 1995 Rugby World Cup played in Durban South Africa. It was a great movie and Morgan Freeman was believable as Nelson Mandela. I will not ruin it for you here. I was aware of that as well.
