hot and cold

yesterday a friend of mine was teasing me about how i am always acting so HOT ND COLD with boys i might like,as in i am really sweet sometimes and then at others, i start acting like i couldn't care less....nywayz that got me thinkin about how in a way, borrowing a li'll from the concept of salman rushdie's midnight's children...i had a saleem sinai(the protagonist)moment,as in i feel like INDIA as a country is pretty HOT AND COLD too.k let me elaborate..i opened the mornin paper yesterday and whoa ..it was the attack of the gold..four pages about ABHINAV BINDRA,the guy who won the gold...infact 'times of india' had a gold medal instead of an 'o' on the front page,whoever wrote the article seemed so excited,he has mentioned the word gold like a 100 times,described it like one of those unreal grand hindi movie moments... nywayz dude let me clarify its not like i m not proud... i m just as proud,if not more than the next guy doing bhangra infront of his tv..
but its just that, i feel like, we as a country also, have such transiet yet extreme emotions.. one minute somebody is almost unreal,too good to be true,the answer to all of india's problems,godly(literally..since i m sure wait a few days ,and the poor dude will have a temple or sumthin built for him) and the next,the moment they screw up, we drop them like a hot potato... we criticise,we bitch,and some of us even go the extent of physically harming them and even their families.its funny, we seem to justify it saying..'well we treated them so well earlier so how dare they screw up now'.i think our athletes or nybody for that matter would be just fine ,with just a li less excitement,a lill more respect and maybe also a longer memory.
so well,for my part, i can just promise myelf that even though i wont be part of any bhangra,dhols,cheering or dancing, to celebrate his achievement..but any time(lets hope never)if he is ever havin a rough patch in his career or somthin and ppl just seem to be givin up on him,i will remember the day he made it possible for our national anthem to be played on possibly the world's biggest stage,and wish him luck instead.
nyways for now yay I AM SO PROUD.
till next time
ps-i started playing sudoku,yeah yeah i know that was the craze like last century or sumthin,anyways i love it and i m gettin better everyday...today i solved it in like half an hour:-D yay
