It seems someone robin thinks that I come off as being an outcast. This is not true at all, I am, in my very nature, 1337. On a daily basis i pwn n00bs, in real life and the expansive virtual world of xbox live. I do so selflessly out of the love of my heart, whether these nubs like it or not.
Halo 3 does not bring anything new to the table. It is a standard fps, it's game mechanics and physics are nothing new. It's online play is the draw to the game, and I can't say anything bad about that. The room setup is a huge step ahead of the draconian system that Halo 2 (as well as many other online games) implemented. However this is not enough to play this game. Playing online is repetitive, you have to really enjoy a game from top to bottom, and the fact that this games lacks a decent campaign mode does not make me want to buy this game. *eagerly awaits to play Portal and Team Fortress 2*
HBO, please stop playing repeats to season 6. It was a sick season but honestly the laziness of the characters seeps through the screen. Ok maybe I'm exaggerating, but seriously all the characters got fat as hell and I don't get how the hell that happens it between seasons.
Skate is an amazing game। Sick graphics, sick control, soooooo different from Tony Hawk, and its incredibly realistic. To complete tricks you gotta flick the right stick in certain directions, if they are flipped wrong, you won't land them. When going to land rails, there are no buttons, the key is to land it precisely on the side you want to grind on. This game is flippin awesome, it gets me super psyched, and the only reason I'm typing this right now is because the 20 minute demo time is over.
Now I gotta go back to playing, PEACE

Left flips sides again
The Left has failed to oppose the Hindutva movement and promotes its own brand of nationalism, when convenient in order to maintain its own power. The Indo US nuclear deal and the Telhelka sting are clear indications of Left’s inability to be a strong opponent to the BJP and the right wing.
The Left is using the myth of energy security to promote their nationalist agenda. Sonia Gandhi, in true fascist speech calls those who oppose the nuclear deal, “enemies of India’s development”. The 123 Agreement is an agreement that will only benefit the United States, monetarily and politically. There is a reason why America wants to export its nuclear technology—because they don’t want it here! Nuclear power plants take long to setup, cost large amounts of capital, are poorly managed, and are a direct threat to the people that live around a power plant.
The political and economic goals are clear, and it’s clear who benefits from this deal—politicians and the US nuclear lobby. The nationalist groupthink rhetoric is no different from the Right wing, it’s a tool of the ruling party, it allows them to consolidate power and promote social control.

I find it hard to explain my beliefs and attitudes. I don’t attach myself to isms, political parties, or imaginary national lines. I do not believe in a god; nor do I deny an existence of a god. I was born in India, but I’ve never ever lived an extended amount of time there. I have an American passport, speak with an American accent, listen to jazz and HipHop, and am the product of the American public education system. I understand Hindi, but my speech is comical at best.
I am a foreigner in two countries: America and India. Here it is defined by my race and culture. In India it is defined by my accent, inexperience, and American influence.
-
I do believe that it is my right to comment on the politics and the society of both countries. My justification is simple; I believe that my opinion can make a difference, here and in India. It’s my right and duty to do all in my power to express my opinion.
-
I believe all government should be held accountable for its actions and inactions. No public servant is innocent when injustice occurs anywhere.
I believe Capitalism is exploitative. I believe Socialism has failed. Nationalism in all forms destroys people.
-
I do not have a real purpose to this blog. I was suggested to make a blog by my parents because they believe I have good insight into politics. I try to be logical and practical. I realize and acknowledge the differences between America and India. I would be kidding myself if I approached both countries in the same manner.
If you think I am unintelligent, you are sadly mistaken. I do whatever I can to find all the facts and perspectives. I believe every action has a reaction. Actions or inactions have consequences, and these consequences have immediate and lasting impressions on society.
Logic. It’s great, free, and you can find it at your favorite store.
