The Diss-Connect

Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
If you're dreaming are you dreaming of me?
I can't believe you actually picked me...

Hey Chelsea, this is _____, it is 2:33 on a Monday afternoon. I was just calling to see how you were doing; you sounded really up tight last night, made me a little nervous. And, well, it made me nervous, but it sounded like you were nervous, too. I just wanna make sure you are really okay, and I wanted to make sure you were checking in on your medications. You know I love ya! And [record scratch] Take care, honey, I know you're under a lot of pressure. See ya. Bye bye.

I have to block out thoughts of you, so I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape, to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you, Will you never call again?
and will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face?
and will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you

I'm sober now for 3 whole months, it's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away that I'll never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby girl I never was a woman
Until I saw your black eyes cry and I held your face in my hands
And then I fell down yelling "make it go away" just make a smile
Come back and shine just like it used to be
And then You whispered "How could You do this to me?"

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you.
For you
For you
For you




Hey Chelsea

Hey Chelsea...

Union Budget 2012-13: Aam aadmi Chelsea's expectations!

My second Indian Budget with www.moneycontrol.com and I am as psyched as ever. (Just work with me on this)

Time to reflect. The learning has been slow, sometimes frustrating but I think I can say I have learned about business news, albeit a tiny fraction of what really is out there. I have tons more to digest and churn if I ever wanna be confident about business journalism.

Let's be honest, I am not smart. Lol. Understatement of the year. But I work hard and I hope this pays off in the long run for me cause I am investing time in my frugal fragile career (not to mention trying my hand at the jittery Indian stock market with my limited trading knowledge).

Yet, at the end of the day, if all else fails, I continue to stick by my principal line - What goes up must come down, what goes around comes around :D

I sincerely hope Pranab Mukherjee delivers a Budget which gets India out of the gutters and back on the fast track to growth. The mandate should not be about coalition politics but about what can help us bring our twin deficits - current account and fiscal account, under control.

The mandate should be to increase the tax bracket for the middle class to rise in society and for those starting out their careers to enjoy their first earnings or maybe save and invest rather than see it pilfering away in the government's coffers.

The mandate should be about how to alleviate those who are Below-Poverty-Line (BPL) and what can be done to make them an integral part of the India Shining story. 

The mandate should be about giving Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) and Retail Investors a REASON to invest in India's infrastructure, economy and growth.

The mandate should be about giving corporates some breathing space. And honestly, you can't lay the blame on either your door or their porch as it's the Opposition stalling key reforms and bills from being passed. Do what it takes to get the Opposition on your side and if they fail to listen, Manmohan Singh & Sonia Gandhi and chillar party may be shown the door, along with you of course.

On a side note, getting rid of a Railways Minister like Dinesh Trivedi who after 10 years decides to stand up to the Trinamool Congress or rather Mamata Banerjee - well he deserves an award. A rate hike is needed if you want to improve passenger safety, modernise our crumbling rail tracks and boost revenues.

So Pranab da - Aam aadmi ki awaj suno. Vote karenge agar unki ichhaei puri karonge.

Give the Indian people something to believe in, an India to believe in, a future to look forward to.

Trust me you won't regret it.

Love,

P.S: Stick to policy changes and not poetry ramblings.
