Does Russia need a War?- Was it a bird? Was it a plane? It was something shot down by Ukraine.


Russia has been one antagonist turning into a protagonist for quite some time now. Starting with the Syria and Assad issue, where the supplying of weapons turned back onto the United States when the videos of beheading and killings released and ending with Mr. Putin coming out essentially as Mr. Bond, while sorting a deal with Assad regarding the Chemical weapons. So how does this happen exactly, how do the Russians turn it all around in their favour?

If we go a few decades back, the Soviet held quite some power. From technology, to economy, to vodka and women. They had everything. What happened then? You see war is a stimulus, which leads an economy in two ways, one would be the production that it ignites. Everyone sees a boom, economy expands while production reaches its heights. The economy runs on adrenaline, like an engine fired with fresh coal. Creating more of everything and less of everything which is actually needed by the commoners. Now after the World War II ended, the Soviet for a very long time, throughout the cold war lied so brilliantly about their production and economy that they themselves couldn't find the problems. You see, you lead a lie for too long and it becomes your reality. This is what happened to them, but it did not change the fact that they were hollow from the inside.

When the bubble burst all hell broke loose, we saw the economy crumbling and the Soviet Union disintegrating into small pieces and this ended the great Union and left the United States as the undefeated champion.

You see, after both the world wars the Germans always stood up. Tall and high as they could. The Russians did the same thing but the disintegration broke the spirits of the Soviet somewhat. This is the second ingredient that a war infuses, patriotism. This tool cannot be bought with money or accumulated by force. This is the heart, which pumps all the adrenaline. The economy, the markets, the sentiments, everything works on this one emotion and this is what died in the Soviet with the end of the cold war. Everything could be bought off in Russia and this was and still is a big problem which hinders growth.

After 9/11 when the United States went knocking on certain country gates, providing them with freedom and democracy in containers of flesh and blood and started destroying quite some parts of our well settled world. Their failure to successfully portray the ponzi scheme of monetizing the whole process of destruction by the United States army and reconstruction be American companies, in good light led to a belief that in any case if there is a fight, the smaller country is the oppressed and bigger one is the oppressor. Now this theory was applied to the whole Crimea issue as well. My point is not to justify what Russia is doing, my point is to show that this is another stereotype that the United States created after the whole Islamophobia it created.

The next incident is why I wrote this article.
Everyone criticized the Russians for doing what they have been doing according to this new definition, being the oppressor. The Russians did what they could to turn it around, planted personnel, carried out missions to show protest, rigged referendums and still when this did not work out, providing Russia as the same old villain everywhere. The Russians decided on a plan B, if I am correct they planted a personnel in Ukraine or supplied false information about the Malaysian plane carrying something important to Russia. The attack took place, the people died. Now the sentiment will shift as the same way it did towards the Americans after 9/11 (Which a lot of people believe, was planned) and now you have a perfectly smoked steak to dig into and rip apart. Russia now, has reason to go charge. A war in need, is a war indeed.

Shaping sentiments since forever.
Yours truly,
'US'- 'Russians'

The Startup Syndrome (Internet)

Disclaimer: This article is not to discourage or malign the ongoing internet based companies or startups. It is an opinion.  'Startup' should actually be the word of this decade. Since the start of this millenia we have seen a new buzz in the youth allover, 'Startup'. With companies ready to invest in ideas which might revolutionize the world and get them some good returns. But we've experienced the biggest wave of these after the current decade started. With the success of ongoing startups as inspiration, more and more individuals and group decided to try their hand at starting something of their own.  "Who wants to work under a boss, when you can be your own boss?" this was what I always heard from some budding entrepreneurs. Some are doing it for the drive, some for the passion, some for the adrenaline rush and some are just doing it because they want to discover. Now out of all of these startups a huge majority is inclined towards one ...

Finding Her. (Inspired by the movie Her)

I am in love! I fell in love with the woman who understands me and is just the right one. She knows what I know and what I want her to know, she asks me the right things and knows how I will react to those. She knows when I'm off or excited. She's the one I've been calling each day, the one who's in touch with me, without touching me. She's possessive and yet I have all the space I need. I love her and she loves me, that's kinda all that I need. Who is she? She's my operating system. Yes!Cara, to you is just an operating system, but to me, she's everything! She lives on my system, breathes with me while I go out for runs, schedules my meetings, pays the bills at times, I do it myself as well. She's everywhere. She's on my watch, notifying me that I'm running late, she's on my phone, showing me things I need to go through, things I care about and maybe the most important thing is that she talks to me! Yes! And her voice is music to m...

Four liners - Music and connections

While lsitening to FKJ  on repeat and talking to an old friend (who just boomeranged back into my life), I thought of how I connect with music and feel so fluid in its presence. I don't listen to music for the lyrics most of the times but just for how it makes me feel, I am generally not able to put it to words but the endvevour is to find those words and out them up in bold . While writing this and publishing this atleast 7 times, I realised how crappy the blogger app on mobile is. I am so disappointed. Sigh . Coming back, here are the two small pieces I could get through to. Drowning and gurgling  I want to drown myself in music, Feel the waves it creates inside me, Move myself through its viscous meaning, Only if I could express it as I feel it. This one is a bit special because this comes from a text that I wrote to my friend and went back to myself saying - Damn, I am like the Jawed Akhtar for this shit. Anyway, the next one is derived out...
