#Miss did u get robbed??#tf did I miss-?

No no sorrryyy 😭😭😭

I heard a sound outside my window at 4 am and thought it was a robber but since we live on the 10th floor and my parents have grills on every balcony I thought this was unlikely. Turns out I was right and it was something else...maybe worse....a big rat. Its red eyes boring into my skull...

ive been inviting beautiful modestly sized rats into your home

[misery-has-no-company-now]

@velinous I know this is rather late but you have no idea the amount of joy I received from waking up one day and seeing the beauty that was these notes. Love all your reblogs ♥️

[misery-has-no-company-now]

Okay so guys, am I hallucinating from a lack of sleep again or did you all see this scene at around 2:10 in The Statehouse Voting Special right after Gov talks to Wyoming because like -

I mean look at that - 💀

Like ☠️ What even is the purpose of this clip over here??? Is it just his house or is this supposed to tell us something about the statehouse and if so whattt😭😭😭

Also since he released this video on 2nd Nov, I won't be surprised if they were just Halloween decorations still put up while he was filming but...I saw this in the scene with Wyoming and Gov (before the first picture here) and -

I really need to know if I'm actually as deranged as my family tells me I am or the green glass thingy looks like it has detailed wide eyes to you guys too; and if anyone else also sees something like a shadow but with...teeth?? and white eyes?? I'm literally going crazy 💀 I went there to watch the video for a distraction but now I'm left needing a distraction from the distraction because my most rational thought right now is that the chair is angry at me ☠️

I'm going to chalk these down to Halloween decorations because I only like creepy stuff when I know it's not in my head (😭) but on one final note -

What kind of haunted house is Ben running and why am I looking at all this when my plan was just to review the personalities of some of the western states in this video for a future fic😭😭

[misery-has-no-company-now]

Research shows that telling an agitated person to calm down has worked (i.e. achieved its intended result) in zero out of the infinite and uncountable times it has been done - in fact, on the contrary, the evidence suggests it does quite the opposite; with the targeted person's vexation only multiplying drastically as a consequence [said target being the one who was told to calm down in the first place].

To summarise - quit telling us to calm down for fuck's sake

𝟎𝟗. i do keep up with drama i'm nosey :/ most of the time, i ignore if it doesn't involved a person i / my moots know. although, keeping up is not the most appropriate term because sometimes i'd be going thru a blog and come across a controversial or expose post TT

Eurovision 2023: #14 & #13

14. ESTONIA Alika - "Bridges" 8th place

Decade ranking: 40/116 [Above Circus Mircus, below TBA]

Tweak some bangs, Alika's Shart.

It is amazing how a few on-point tweaks can make a song significantly more appealing. I went up and down on Alika throughout the months, but a year after I've put her low on the pre-show ranking I am ready to lock in my final verdict: Bridges is kind of really good.

Ofc there were huge problems down the road cuz you know, vocal masturbation ballad in a BorisBubbles ranking, and also, clear jury carry the year after Marius Bear and Nadir Whatshisgjon, but Estonia ironed out their most glaring flaws, so what else can I ask for? I got what I wanted.

Estonia's problem for me, as I've come to realize once I started liking Alika again, was always one of aesthetics, and specifically visual aesthetics (keep that in mind when I rank Europapa low for the lack of bags-over-head (lol if I rank ESC2024 to begin with (I mean, I probably will (I am not readly to enter that discourse yet tho (regardless, that haircut is a capital offence))))). A big inherent flaw of vocal flex ballads like "Bridges" is the lack of dynamism and emotional gravitas (as the vocal technique goes against these principles - "loud" is a pitch, not an emotion) - it's a flaw that comes with the genre and that's something only charisma can fix. Pre-show Alika looked like she'd been dragged out of a river and then SHOUTED into a mic without moving, so yeah, that's where I bail. Slimane your way into someone else's simple and easily-impressed heart please, I Am Not The Demograph. (-- Alesia Michelle).

The version in Liverpool though was - by textbook definition almost - a glow-up. Alongside her Jenevelle hair, Estonia actually put Alika in a beautiful gown and made her move around. Observe:

NOW I SEE MAHSEEL BEELDING UP A WOALD OF BREEECHEEEEEEEEEES

Apparently a lot of people were mesmerized by the self-playing piano but for me the biggest factor in selling "Bridges" was just Alika herself. Props are nice embellishments but the true art of live performance is when score and vocal come together via the power of Personality. Which she finally showed in Liverpool after what felt like an eternity.

By allowing Alika to just do... idk, Alika things with her body lang, face and hands, Estonia broke the monotony of "three minutes of loudness" and made it fun, camp and digestible. If theres anything The Gays (me) like, it's a neat lady doing silly things with fierce confidence. Yasss Go Slay Queen.

Ultimately, a lot of people think Alika's top 10 is nonsense and a strike against juries and here I disagree. That a strong glow up and performance such as Alika's went unappreciated by the televote is a huge strike against the televote, not the other way around. I am happy she got her spot in the limelight, and 8th place is a good, if somewhat generous representation of what she brought. I'll never be a huge fan of the song "Bridges", but at the end of the day Alika really ate that live, and that's something worth rewarding.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

13. POLAND Blanka - "Solo" 19nd place

Decade Ranking: 39/116 [Above Alika, below Stefan]

"ARIANA GRANDE IF ARIANA HAD NO TALENT" -- my immediate instinct when i first heard "Solo"

Were my instincts wrong, though? Her lack of performance skill and talent, the online response, the severed heads of Jann and Iru she keeps mounted on a pedestal in her boudoire. Blanka was the Mery Bass of 2023. She has no business being this good.

btw yes, lmao so hard that THIS ENTRY was somehow one of the more controversial ones in recent ESC. Honestly, the 13th place I'm giving here is at least half thanks to the controversy which made "Solo" feel iconic - it is exceedingly funny to me that it caused so much outrage for... existing? What did Blanka ever do? Certainly not rob better acts - Listen to Jann and listen to Iru and tell me straight-faced they were better.

BEJBA! IS KINDA KRAJZA!

As a song, "Solo" was always fun femmetrash. Ever since Eleni the majority of the Eurovision girlbops have been attempting to recreate Fuegos with varying successes - Competently staged with intricate choreographies to commemorate our inner faggotry. "Solo" represents a style of girlbop that's gone out of fashion - the "Aphrodisiac"-like basic bop by useless bitches for useless cigs. (Fuego is what gays see themselves as, Solo is what they actually are). Aphrodisiacs have become nearly extinct at Eurovision because they nearly always lose the NF nowadays. So thank you Jann for performing 'Gladiator' in Scooby-Doo vocals so that we could witness Bejba fullfill her beautiful destiny in Liverpool.

And what a destiny it was. In a way, most of the things I wrote about Alika also apply to Blanka. A few small tweaks to the performance can make the whole a lot better. Unlike Alika though, who ampted up the sophistication, Blanka went a route I respect more: She listened to fan feedback.

Slight paraphrasing:

Fans: "EWW BLANKA HAS NO TALENT, CAN'T DANCE, CAN'T SING, WON BASED ON MONEY!!!" Blanka: "... so? 🙂"

I don't know WHEN Blanka decided to be everything the fans accused her of (talentless, washed-up, plastic), amped up to comical levels, but thank fuck she did because it made her instantly epic. It is rare for a Eurovision artist to address her online haters by Now I Betta Troll'em, Troll'em, and Blanka as it turns out is masterfully skilled at trollery. She elevated it into an art.

The Cheap VFX <3

The badly performed wooden choreos <3

The Dutch angles <3

Doing the Eleftheria thing of having your backing vocalist sing over you, while you mug the camera with semi-fierce faces and placeholder hairflips.

Accused to having no performance skill or talent? Add in a cheap dance break anyway, and enjoy every second of it, live your dream while they fume on Twitter, angry that Poland qualified over Georgia.

Guess where I am, honey? 💋 I'm in the final. 💋 And I'm here to stay 💋 :dramatic cymball:

"Solo" was incompetent, plastic and a huge mess, and that was great because it was all deliberate. That made it epic. Poland really took all the negative criticism they received and yanked it up to 11 and it made the entry better. If that isn't a taunting flex in the face of toxicity, I don't know what is. Given how venomous the fandom has been since the pandemic, that is an approach to life I can totally get behind.

THE RANKING

AND WITH THAT WE MADE IT OUT OF THE MILD LIKE ZONE, HOO-fucking-RAY. Now bear in mind that the next few eliminees are very LOW lush greens and there's quite a few of those before we get to the really good stuff, but eh. Soon I'll be able to talk about the songs I loved, and that's always a treat.

Walida Marhooma Ki Yaad Mein (Bang-e-Dra-139)

Jab Tere Daman Mein Palti Thi Woh Jaan-e-Natwan Baat Se Achi Tarah Mehram Na Thi Jis Ki Zuban

When that helpless life was nurtured in your lap, Whose tongue was not properly familiar with words.

Aur Ab Charche Hain Jis Ki Shoukhi-e-Guftar Ke Be-Baha Moti Hain Jis Ki Chashm-e-Gohar Baar Ke

And now he is famous for the charm of his speech; His eyes, which shed jewels, are priceless pearls.

Ilm Ki Sanjeeda Guftari, Barhape Ka Shaur Dunyavi Izaz Ki Shoukat, Jawani Ka Gharoor

The serious discourse of wisdom, the awareness of old‐age, The grandeur of worldly honours, the pride of youth—

Zindagi Ki Auj-Gahon Se Uter Ate Hain Hum Sohbat-e-Madir Mein Tifl-e-Sada Reh Jate Hain Hum

We come down from the pinnacles of life’s towers And in the company of our mother remain a simple child.

Be Takaluf Khandazan Hain, Fikr Se Azad Hain Phir Ussi Khoye Huwe Firdous Mein Abad Hain

We observe no formality, we laugh, we are free from care: Once more we abide in this paradise which we had lost.

Kis Ko Ab Ho Ga Watan Mein Aah! Mera Intizar Kon Mera Khat Na Ane Se Rahe Ga Be-Qarar

Now, who will wait for me, alas!, in my homeland? Who will be anxious when my letter does not arrive?

Khak-e-Marqad Par Teri Le Kar Ye Faryad Aun Ga Ab Duaye Neem Shab Mein Kis Ko Main Yaad Aun Ga!

I shall come to the dust of your grave, bringing this lament: Now who will remember me in midnight prayers?

Tarbiat Se Teri Main Anjum Ka Hum-Qismat Huwa Ghar Mere Ajdad Ka Sarmaya-e-Izzat Huwa

Because you brought me up, I shared the fate of the stars; The house of my forefathers was accorded honour.

Daftar-e-Hasti Mein Thi Zareen Waraq Teri Hayat Thi Sarapa Deen-o-Dunya Ka Sabaq Teri Hayat

In the scroll of existence your life was a golden page. Your life was from beginning to end a lesson in faith and the world.

Umer Bhar Teri Mohabbat Meri Khidmat Rahi Main Teri Khidmat Ke Qabil Jab Huwa Tu Chal Basi

Throughout my life, your love was my servant, And when I was able to serve you, you departed this world.

in regards to whether it could in fact teach meri to drive had a fruitful discussion with our mom just now where we were like. do you think a satyr could drive? and she’s like where the hell would they put their body and we were like Well a human size satyr? and she was like i don’t see how that changes things? and after about two minutes of spirited discourse we realized she thought we meant a centaur

[badedramay]

Something that has really begun to bother me recently on Pak drama Twitter is the hyperfocus on two or three male leads. Fairytale and Yaqeen Ka Safar are two dramas I moderately enjoyed, and I liked Farjaad and Asfi as characters. It's also arguable there isn't an extensive list of appreciable male leads to write home about anyway. But I'm bored verging on irritated that these two are all people can seem to congratulate. Makes me think people haven't actually watched as many dramas or are as invested in the industry's progression as they act like they are..

ouff i've been thinking about this lately!

ol they most definitely aren't interested in the industry as a whole. personally, I don't blame them. everyone has their own tastes and if Farjad or Asfi are the only two characters that satisfy the tastes of most of the stantwt population then that's not their fault. we have to accept that the PakDrama stantwt is actually a very niche audience and a one that keeps rotating with years. so like..stans that were active on twt back in 2015 aren't as active now cuz life moved them in a certain direction. or even if they are still active here, they end up getting more into the Turk dramaland or kdramas so they just don't talk about PakDramas anymore. with each inactive Pakdrama account, a certain kind of discourse on some particular dramas get sealed off. and it's not just PakDrama stantwt that behaves this way. i have seen it happen with kdramas stantwt as well. for the newer fans, history begins right from the show that got them into a particular genre of fiction (in a general sense). like i have been following both PakDramas and Kdramas for more than a decade now and I have seen first hand how in both instances the trends and sensibilities have changed. many newer fans haven't. so they cannot get into the older shows without feeling disconnected with them cuz of how "outdated" they look. this disconnect doesn't give them the chance to then critique objectively. this and also how there's no one really interested in reading such critique.

for example..Faysal Qureshi is a senior actor, right? the man has worked in the industry for decades and he works HARD to still keep in shape in a way that he can justify his position as a "leading man". but on stantwt he is only criticized for "trying too hard" and only "romancing women half his age without shame" as if the man HASN'T worked with co-actors his age. Fitoor and Farq aren't the only two projects he has done in his career. the man has done a Baba Jani as well. as well as Haiwan. as well as Roag. he has been the leading man of two of the best Umera Ahmed written scripts Meri Zaat Zara-e-Benishan and Qaid e Tanhai. his current choice of work cannot discredit his past filmography. if this man is adapting to the changing trends of the industry, how has that his fault? but you won't see such discourse of stantwt happening because CURRENTLY he's a problematic man only doing problematic shows with problematic age-difference pairings. why? disconnect of the past from the present.

as for why characters like Farjad and Asfi are hailed as best heroes that's because they are pure "green flags". because these characters have no moral flaws, their goodness stands the test of time. because the stories they are part of didn't demand that they make any mistakes for any conflict to happen in the plot, they remain safe from judgement. and because they benefit from being part of a "romance" that has a sizable following and also they are played by men who have a "crushable" personality..they simply get amplified more as the "best heroes to ever hero" cuz they have MORE fans backing up their claims. warna dekha jaye toh Obi's character in both Surkh Chandni and Baaghi were supportive, progressive men who unconditionally loved their partners and had no glaring moral flaws that would make them the subject of lengthy criticism. but because Obi doesn't have the kind of fangirly fans that Ahad and Hamza have toh Amaan and Sheheryar don't get talked about as much as Asfi and Farjad do. it's just the maths of it all.

from my experience of being in this stanning/fangirling mess for over half my life I can confidently say that for anything to become popular and to retain that popularity you need to TALK about it. one constantly has to bring the subject up in different discourses. and that takes a lot of time and energy. it's easy enough when it's an ongoing phenomenon and there are many similar voices sharing the same energy to talking about this one particular thing but the real test starts when that one thing stops airing. with newer and better things constantly taking the place of the old and flawed, not everyone will have the same dedication towards a particular character or story to reinterpret or transform it in such a way that it fits the ever changing sensibilities of the current audience. like heck..i've been talking about doing a proper extensive Diyar e Dil rewatch for DAYS now but i just can't find the time and energy to dedicate the hours to it the way I know the show requires. mujhse khud nahin horaha..kisi aur ko kya blame karna?

“As an aside”.. continues from previous…

[Section 4,Part 2]

Me:Mazza aa gaya bhai..main lagbhag zero tha.. AL/DL/Ml ke mamle main.. lekin kuch kuch inko samajhpa raha hoon ab.. sirf aur sirf aap hi ki vajah se ho paya hai yeh .. am most thankful to u for dis tech related discourse.

Him(conspiracy theorist):kya Aap politics main bhi (kisi kisam ka koi )interest rakhte ho?

[kyon ki meri ek theory hai( ek generalised si/ general kisam ki theory hai).. inn far right/right wing/authoritarian regimes.. inke leaders/rulers..aur inki politics ko lekar]..

Humko lagta hai ..kai baar ki..yeh log/regimes..inn sab ka..ek (generalised kisam ka ) model hota hai..joh yeh log ..raat..din…follow/practice kiya karte hai.. [ ie..for power acquisition sake.. for governance sake..etc..etc..(..ie..so r able to acquire more n more of power.. or ..(in d very least)..r able keep all dat power.. dats already been acquired by them)]

**Ho sakta hai..consciously nahi..balki unconsciously..aise ek model ko apne politics main integrate kar rakha ho/hai.. in logo ne [Lekin aap jab dhyan se study karte ho inki politics ko..toh/tab zaroor…aise ek model ke hone ka/inke dwara practice kiye jane ka …aabhas hone lagta hai/hota hai..aap ko]..

** Bhai..main yahan par bataa doon.. yeh model..jiska zikr main ab karne jaa raha hoon..yeh at best speculatory(ek speculation) hi hai..meri taraf se.

Yani ki..mere paas aisa koi proof nahi.. iske wajood ka/ iske hone ka..iske practise kiye jaane ka(inn rt wing/far rt/ authoritarian regimes ke dwara)..

[Reading/hearing dis..people may say/critic..(u included)…“Overall.. am indulging in a bit of speculation here”.. (n..(is possible)..they (probably)wouldn’t b dat wrong)]

Kya aap sunna chahoge..iss/aise model ke baare main..?

[Bhailog.. yeh sunte hi main ab sochne laga tha..”iss bichare ko toh idea hi nahi ki aisi hi baaton ke liye hi toh main jiya karta hoon/jee raha hoon aajkal..

Main toh aise mehsoos kar raha hoon iss waqt..maanlo.. jaise koi jackpot sa lag gaya ho aaj…aur yeh janaab humse pooch rahe hai ..ki aap iss model ke baare main sunna chahoge ..ki nahi?…”(main toh sunne ko ekdum betaab toh tha hi...lekin inn janaab ko maine iss baat ka (meri utsukta ka)zara (sa)bhi ahsaas nahi hone diya tha..hahaa)..]

Me(in a detached/uninterested kinda manner):Bhai.. zaroor.. 100 % sunna chahenge.. aap batao toh sahi..

Him:

Bhai…maine zindagi bhar itne saare models ke saath deal kar rakha hai/kiya hai ..ki(yani ki..itne saare model construction/training/testing/deployment(followed by their real time usage ..ie..in live scenarios)…vagera ..types wale projects main participate kar rakha hai maine..ki)..ab ..sapne main bhi ..(sirf aur sirf)..models hi models nazar aate hai mujhko....haha..

**Whenever I see/encounter…an identified/known problem..(or cud even b a previously unidentified/unrecognised/undefined kind of a problem)..(cud b any problem)..i first try to understand it fully ie..try to digest it fully/completely..b4 trying to engage wid it in any form or manner(by way of trying to solve it.. dat is)..

[Being able to identify/recognise a problem(dat needs solving)..and thereafter (also)being able to articulate/document it very nicely(but not b4 having understood it fully) ….has to b a good initial step always..in trying to solve it(b dis any problem/b it any)..dis u agree?]

Next..

A.I then try and look at d data associated wid dis problem..

B.Thereafter ..I look at/study d surrounding/operating environment (if any).[Dat may have inadvertently(sometimes deliberately even) birthed dis problem..in d first place..]

C.I also look at all dat data..dis kind of an environment may b generating …d processes dat may b involved in dis kind of an environment…process inputs..process outputs..etc..etc..

D.Lastly..d stakeholders dat may b involved in dis operating environment/d ecosystem..d end users..etc..etc.. these too ..I obviously try n identify..

***Its often been my experience..dis..

(Below)

A kind of a generalised model(an equivalent/representative generalised(kind of a)model ..of d scenario at hand).. all of a sudden..begins to magically unravel itself in my mind..ie..starts to magically materialise right b4 my very eyes..as soon as am done wid d performance of dis exercise..exercise? ie ..dis exercise ..dat comprises of those above mentioned 5 steps..is wat am talking about here now..

[Dis (unexplained/magical)kind of a thing almost always happens(may(actually)more likely to happen..than not)d very instant am done wid/have completed dis above mentioned exercise..comprising of those 5 steps dat have mentioned earlier.. ie/meaning dat of trying to identify/understand n articulate a problem..look for/study/check d data associated wid it (like for eg..examining it for data integrity/relevance /corruption issues etc..)…d associated ecosystem(and also d processes dat may b involved in it/therein..ie..in dis kind of an ecosystem..)/d (operating?)environment(where d problem (and its associated data)may have been/gotten birthed)…data associated wid this environment(dis too is looked into..like for eg..examining d process input data…process output data..data repositories used ..data formats used..etc..etc..)…and finally d stakeholders(including d end users)dat may b(whether directly or indirectly)involved in dis operating environment/d ecosystem..where dis problem may have been/had gotten birthed…]

***A fair amount of times.. dis too happens..

A representative model begins/may begin to take shape /unravel/begin to reveal itself..bit by bit…in my mind..(almost as if intuitively/instinctively)…even before d completion of these (d said)steps/dis exercise..(ie..I may be involved in d midst of execution/performance of this exercise/these 5 steps.. (ie ..as I start moving/executing these steps..sequentially from step1 to step 5..)…n suddenly dis (unexplained)kind of a magical thing may suddenly start to b happening)

[Umpteen times..have actually experienced dis kind of a thing]

*** [Dis is specially true of scenarios involving competition.. ie situations where someone’s gain.. is almost always at d expense of someone else’s/d others loss.. ie competitive scenarios involving people/opponents pitted against each other/one another.. am talking abt here.. [Man.. do such situations motivate me or wat]

“Years of Ml/dl/AI experience..wid model creation(s)..their training/testing..followed by their subsequent deployment(in their operational envts)..and finally their usage in real time/ live(operational)scenarios..all this ..(in all probability) may (perhaps) have contributed to/possibly explains/may possibly b d reason behind all dis..dat I so often experience..(those intuitions/instincts ..I mean)..[Dis…i many a times wonder]

*****************

Representative model benefits:

1.Remember.. a representative model (Depicting a scenario)at hand.. can only do good/prove advantageous(specially in scenarios involving competition)

For eg.. it allows/may allow for d conception of a larger picture dat may b involved therein ..(in dis kind of a scenario)..ie..a kind of a big picture..dat happens to b a good representative of d overall scenario at hand..

[“ A big picture “.. dat is/dat happens to b a good representation/representative of d overall scenario at hand..is wat am talking about here]

2. When u reduce something ( for eg ..a scenario..dat cud b a competitive scenario..ie..some kind of a scenario dat may involve/essentially involves competition)to a model.. many a times…u then can also perform vulnerability analysis on it..[So can/r able to understand/identify d inherent loopholes in dis model]…

So..a representative big/larger picture ..may many a times allow vulnerability analysis to b performed on in..

3.Next u can design/come up wid counter strategies to exploit such/these identified vulnerabilities..ie..those vulnerabilities/loopholes inherent in/to d model.. dat may (subsequently have) gotten identified/exposed ..as a result of u performing vulnerability analysis (on it)..

4.Next u try to apply these previously identified counter strategies in real time/live (operational) scenarios..

Etc.. etc..

[Lotsa other advantages too..but don’t want to belabour..so am not mentioning all here…shall keep ‘em to myself..]..

**So a representative model at hand can always b a good thing..for sure..

It can prove to b a good aid/initial step in trying to understand..analyse.. and exploit…(ie..in general.. in trying to solve things(most things)…dis u agree?

*** [Bhai.. main yaha par koi sazish vagera nahi rach raha.. haha..iss sab ko.. sirf aur sirf/keval mera personal opinion/pov hi samajhna/samjho..ek generalised kisam ki/ek helpful problem solving approach ki baat kar raha hoon main yahan par..iss se zyada aur kuch nahi…

Bhai agar aap aisa soch rahe ho toh bilkul galat samajh rahe ho..poori ki poori baat sun lena pehle..phir jaake koi tippini/personal opinion form karna ..theek hai?]

Approach:

Problem encountered -> try n understand/ digest dis problem->try n document/articulate dis problem (as best as u can/possible)->study d data associated wid dis problem..and also look for data integrity/format/corruption/usage ..etc..etc ..issues in dis data(and yes..also study d problems domain)->study d surrounding environment where dis problem may have been/gotten birthed(also d processes dat may b involved in dis kind of an ecosystem/(operational)environment..d data (including d process input as process output data)involved/generated by dis environment study ..[Look for issues in dis data..also try to understand how dis data gets used..etc..etc..]->know d stakeholders involved is dis environment (dis involves knowing n understanding d end users too)->

**Using all dat u have learned thus far..try to construct a representative(generalised kind of a)model ..dat happens to b a good representation of d/dis scenario at hand)->If dis kind of a model happens to something of a representative/representation of an opponents winning/competing strategy.. then perform vulnerability analysis operation on dis model->now..device counter strategies to b able to crack dis problem ..ie ..to b able to exploit those identified vulnerabilities/loopholes inherent in dis model(read ..dis opponents winning strategy model).. [So r able to shoot (more?)holes in it..][Note..there r always inherent loop holes in everything..nothings ever perfect..unless offcourse..happens to b God himself ..whom u happen to b up against..his plans happen to b perfect..phir toh bhai..sirf aur sirf Prarthana hi winning strategy ho sakti hai ..aisi stithi may(Ho sakta hai yeh bhi kaam na aaye..agar paap bohot gehra hai toh)]->Apply those homed in/identified counter strategies (in live/real time scenarios)..
