if you don't see god in all, you don't see god at all
been MIA for about 2 weeks now. during that time, i have written my 1 exam and come back home to singapore where i've been leading very much of a bum's life.
during the time i've been back, i've pigged out a lot during all the deepavali visiting that i've been doing. went for dya singh's concert with anantya. she mentions a funny incident that happened that day. the lesson i've learnt is to not ignore those people who come up to you with a proposition of some sort, because it actually might be REALLY free... anyhow, dya singh's concert was really good, and so i decided to bring my mom along for it y'day. his style is quite different i must say. mostly qawwali style, but i guess the uniqueness comes from the fusion of western elements. and the messages behind his songs are worth mulling over.
i leave you with an interesting analogy that i found whilst reading al-jazeerah.
Propaganda is consumed innocently, like drinking a glass of milk that has been contaminated with small drops of urine; the taste, color, odor of the milk is sustained, so the victims remain unaware. However, the perception changes once the consumer is alerted to the fact that urine was added to it. The consumer is disgusted as milk diluted with urine is the same as pure urine; not fit for consumption; they are both in the same category of lies!
