All through the flight travels over these 2 days (15th and 16th of January 2006), during landing, I kept having this feeling, probably coz I read “Fight Club” but still, I kept thinking, there’ll be a thud and then the aircraft will either veer off the runway and ram into the terminal buildings or just keep ploughing on until stopped by some natural landmark which would again lead to total annihilation!! The song that I thought of as closing credits in this grand fuckaroo that I call the motion picture of my life would be “Die die my darling” and for those of a softer twist of music taste “Crash and Burn you are not alone!!”
Talking about Fight Club, if Palhuniuk is so much against all this post modern concept of commercialization and in your face marketing that makes u feel that u need all those armors of designer clothes and accessories to face this corrosive world, why would he let his publishers print the book with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton on the cover? Heck, why did he even sell the book? Wouldn’t it have been better off as a blog? Then again, yes, publicity is limited in a blog but isn’t the first rule of fight club “You do not talk about fight club?” Writing and not believing in what you write is probably right up there in the vilest of sins because if you aren’t true to your thought you are doomed for the rest of your life to lying to yourself!! If you can't be true to yourself you lose your worth even in your cognizance and in that case doesn’t your cognizance in itself become a pretense? Your attempt at proving to the world that you are somehow better? Then again, why would you want to be better? Why do u need that comparison? Why do u want to be compared and weighed and rated and ranked? Why don’t you just do what u like and love and be done with it?
