Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Lead India

I found myself utterly and completely bored out of my skull. So i happened to come across a very ancient tome of scientific "knowledge", The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Yes, i accept ive stumbled upon this book a bit late for most people considered, but better late than never.

So i decided to post in my blog for once about this revolutionary book and some parts of it which have actually touched me, not in the physical plane but skimming at the emotional surfaces. For those of you who haven't read this book as yet, please go and get a copy. Trust me you wont be at all let-down in any manner. The book's premise itself is the most amusing theme ive ever come across; the destruction of the earth to make way for an intergalactic bypass. And then as you go further on you discover intresting bits of trivia, like the Earth being actually a 10 million year old supercomputer with the sole purpose of calculating The Question To The Ultimate Answer, and how humans are only the third most intelligent life-form on earth.

It goes without saying that you need to keep your brain on the back-burner if you thoroughly wish to enjoy this book. Its full of such nonsensical ideas that they eventually all fall into place and then you start thinking - What if? And this is where all the problems start and incidentally also where they shall end. Well you'll know what i mean if you do go on and pick up the book.

Now here ive come across a slight problem, haven't I? I seem to have written more of a book review than a proper blog, and in the way ive lost the whole reason i set out to make this post. It was to quote a simple and effective paragraph in the book which successfully throws light on why the current political situation is in dire straights. Yes a science-fiction-comedy-suspense book is hardly the place for political awakening, but who am i to overlook when the idea itself is so appealing.

So here is the theory that i came across, which had me thinking about the causes of the world's current problem's and interestingly about the importance of the current Lead India campaign.

> There's a theory in the Hitchhiker's Guide that mentions why the President of the Galaxy has to be a mere face and why the Ruler of the Universe is a retarted old man with the memory span of a goldfish.
It quite simply states the reason to be somewhere along these lines :

Ultimate power will surely corrupt a single individual, and whoever strives for it is sure to be corrupted to reach such a position of power in the bureaucracy, it has thus been observed that whoever wishes to rule the world can never be fit to do so as his judgement will be clouded by his want for his seat of power i.e. his want of ruling the world.
However, if there ever is such an individual who can rule the world uncorrupted is one who does not wish to rule the world in the first place, only then can a person be free of corruption and take a correct decision in the right direction. Now the problem here is that if he has to be free of corruption then he should never WANT to rule the world.
Herein lies the biggest problem of the universe, whoever wants to rule the world can never be considered fit to do so, and whoever is fit and qualified enough to rule the world will never want to rule it in the first place.


Thus what we have in the political system right now is number of bumbling corrupt old men who want power and hence cannot be qualified to hold it, and those who do not crave for power will never enter the political field.

Lookat this theory and now look at the highly effective Lead India campaign, and you can see how these become relevant, and now we realise how the campaign in itself becomes vital to the faith of the people in the political system.

To All Idiots with an Opinion

So i wake up today after a hard nights gaming and what do i find? Front Page Sunday Times of India has a write-up screaming how Games cause people to murder each other... And even worse... how games have semi-naked animated women running around... Boobs jumping et al... My dear god what corruption of the Teenage mind.... God forbid he ever gets a peek onto MTV or any movie channel...

The one thing that drives me mad about all of this is the people who write such crap have never touched any of the games they mention... or any game in their lives over all... Its a wonder they know the meaning of Massively Multi-player Online RPG... an MMORPG in gamer terms... Its worse that they label Max Payne, NFS and Half Life among the list of MMO's.... where did researching before writing go?? Is all the research and all the hunting for a story lost in printing something to fill up the pages?? I'd hoped better from a respected paper like TOI... which I for one read daily without a miss... The point they try to make on Page 5 is that gamers play Porn (read Hentai) games to get their kicks... Why would anyone in their sane mind take the effort to download a 1GB + porn game when 30% of internet traffic is directed towards porn sites(yes we can use statistics to our advantage as well)... If u think Teenagers are getting corrupted by games then think again... there are so many factors causing this that if u wanna set out a cry against Games and MMORPG's in general youd have to wage war against any Media that shows a Bit of skin, real or pixelised...

In another reading session before another instance of lack of research came to view... Pune Times quotes that Resistance : Fall of Man is banned in the UK coz of extreme voilence... Although the level of voilence i found was lesser when compared to Die Hard 4.0... It makes me itch to point out to the author of this beautiful piece of shit that Resistance is not banned for voilence... its banned for showing a Church where the main character fights aliens... the graphics are realistic and the cathedral based on the real life replica... The reason for banning is over-zealous religious fanatics... a whole another topic for me and everyone else... lets just not venture there for the time being...

As a parting word let me put this down for u Priyanko Sarkar... I am Viraj Chouhan... im a 20 Year old Gamer... ive been gaming all my life... ive played Every type of game in existence... I have as yet not killed even one person... or greviously injured anyone for that matter... there are a million other gamers like me... so before u go and start blaming the worlds ills on us gamers... keep in mind we Outnumber you and people who think like you... Dont Fuck With Us...

Im just one of those Idiots with an Opinion like you Priyanko... I have never met you... and hope not to... I dont know how much experience you have in your field of Journalism... But... I know i have loads of experience in my field of Gaming... Enough to criticise what you have written without a shred of evidence... So... if you happen to be a young newcomer with a thirst for a story to feed you your daily bread... judging by your writing... i dont hold much hope for journalism's future in your hands... and if your happen to be a middle aged person with eons of experience to your credit... frankly, you should know better...

Let The Blogging Begin

So the craze claims another victim... the blog-craze taking over the world wins another soul onto its side... So how shall one begin?

Mebbe in British English:

I Humbly Welcome you to my humblest online Diary...

Pray dont be bored for various adventures await u in the pages that follow !

Or the more modern Englsh:

wlcm 2 my blog...

hope u njoi my writng s mch s i njoi writng it...


Not much as far as a first blog goes... but bear with me... im new to this sort of... "Stuff"... as afore mentioned... my first time was too soon for me to get used to this... so early in the game anyway...


But... where to begin i ask myself as i stare into the faint glow of my monitor, straining my eyes as they will me to sleep...

Maybe i could start with myself... a self-confessed Gaming Addict... a little-appreciated Writer... and a brand-new blogger...

So whilst u analyse me... through my blog... let ur brain roam free... and Let the Blogging Begin !

Yay ! First Blog

So... this is what the first time feels like...

Its exactly how i pictured it would be...

Me... my comp... late night... just after a good movie... yea it feels just about right...

Tonight is the night i lose my blog-virginity... Now i am a MAN !! Respect me mortals for now i am among u...

Lets get the creative juices flowing(completely figuratively).

So life throws another event in my way and i pick up where i had taken a pause and procceed as she directs...

This time my event wont be so well encompassed in words... as i had hoped it would be...

The brain doesnt work as smoothly as one would suppose in these situations... but i guess this will have to do for now...

Everythings not lost and theres time to spare... maybe ill be more excited to write later on...
