So dark the con of man.

With the release(?) of the movie The Da Vinci Code,and the preceding hype and controversy
came memories of me reading the book a few months after its release,and all its anagrams.

Now this isnt about the book(btw its avg)or the pseudo politico secular controversy around it.

Its about my brush with anagrams

Arbit post

My first really arbit post.Really dont know why I find myself posting,but its maybe because i'm heading to Delhi tomorrow,after a really long boring fortnight at home...trying to complete a post that s simply defying completion.

Since I am so vetti,I 'll tell you why I changed the name of my blog.

Welcome to the Machine happens to feature high on the 'i-like -these-songs' list.Though it happens to be very popular,especially among floyd fans,I some how feel its never given its due,always getting pushed behind by songs like Another Brick in the Wall 2.

Though it quite explicitly deals with the music industry and how the band was unhappy because of these people,the label managers,I feel its just a ploy floyd uses to make a point clear without
sounding too phony and preachy[Salinger getting to me again]

It deals with systems all across the world.
Like universities,colleges,schools,and families.
And how you tend to become too stuctured and inconsequential in the process.Allowing no flowering .
All you feel is a cold detachment.

I can related big time, to this concept,given that IIT can be a really big inhumane machine.
Its not that I dont like it,but lots of IITians tend to harbour such thoughts at times...
