Initially it was fun, More of a nice way of passing time (What with my boring, mundane life at present) . Then it was overwhelming,but still kinda OK....Then slowly it became ignored....and forgotten....
P.S: The credit for the pic goes to http://www.cartoonstock.com/ And Google. I claim no credits for the creativity or the inspiration or for the end product.I only take credit for justifying its apt mention here :D !!
Before u think of the obvious, let me tell u that this is not a review on the movie "ROCK ON!!".No.Not even close to that.
It about one of the greatest legends of Tennis.A legend so brilliant,that there is no stopping him.And after a brief stint with what i want to put it as "a disappointment", Hez back.Yes its none other than Roger Federer!!The unexpected loss to Nadal at the Wimbledon 08 was probably a small,insignificant( I say so as a Fan :) ) speck on his spotless profile.And now he is back to lift the cup of the Us open 08.Here is a look at some of his Achievements.
World number one for 237 consecutive weeks.
13 Grand slam titles.
Holding the record for the only player wining both Wimbledon and Us Open 5 consecutive times.
The Laureus World sportsman of the Year award holder for 4 years(05-08).
A total 56 single titles.
A whooping 43 million Dollars and much more!!
Now that's some statistics most players would kill for.Although he is still ranked 2 after the Us open 08,its just a matter of time before he takes his rightful position as number one.So ROCK ON Federer!!
I have been to quite a few trips till now...but by far this one is the best.Last week i had to make a totally unplanned and hurried visit to Bangalore all alone to see my Grandma(Yes i have never been on a train journey,alone before..)
Now before i go on i must mention that my parents are very overprotective about me.Hence it came as a surprise to me when they decided on this.More than the 4 days i spent there ,the train journey is something i will remember for ever.Probably i will never forget :
1. The sense of freedom travelling alone gives,Not to forget the confidence If u come back home safely ;)
2. The quality time i spent with myself ...analysing everything in my life was never so much fun...
3. The side upper berth is the best thing you can have when travelling alone!!
4. That my parents were probably awake the whole night worrying about me ..
5. That it constantly reminded me of Jab We Met...And that there was no "Aditya Kashyap" in my compartment :D
6. Reading a book or getting lost in the lyrics of the songs i was listening to, can never get better..
7. That I should do it more often :)
That's it for now...Will leave you all to rest in peace now....
And yes ,If u DO have noticed..FINALLY i seem to found the rite template for this blog... :D Yaaahooooo.... Now i too can rest in peace :)

What others thought..
"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made!"
Albert Einstein.
"It is already becoming clearer that
a chapter which has a western beginning will have
to have an Indian ending if it is not to end in
the self-destruction of the human race...
At this supremely dangerous moment in history
the only way of salvation for mankind is the Indian Way. "
Dr. Arnold Toynbee
British Historian 1889-1975.
What we think...
INDIA IS NOT JUST A PLACE.
India is not just a people.
India is the celestial music,
And inside that music
Anybody from any corner of the globe
Can find the real significance of life.
Swami vivekananda.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.
Rabindranath Tagore.
Lets Celebrate being an Indian! 
Happy Independence day!!
Its become like a vicious circle u know ... not blogging for ages ,then starting to feel guilty about neglecting it,all the while cursing urself for not finding a decent topic to blog on...And then writing an impromptu post like this,citing a million excuses and ending up Writing about "" WASSUP in Life"" :)
Anyway i will still stick to the traditions of mentioning the causes of delay although no ones interested to hear them As it was the last time..
OK the major cause of me not putting anything up here is coz of My friend not sending me the pic i so Wanted to put up here... Its been quite a while now and Well we both have been busy...But i promise that post will be up here soon..
And the second main reason is that i have been desperately searching for a nice black template for ages now..Yes only a black one will work...This blog so needs a change..so much that i have probably visited all the websites that Google search has to offer me...Well i have been trying to meddle with the code too...But not too much time for those things...So Its The same old black background and the blue title for a few more days....
OK now for the Actual stuff... Just a few random musings that i have had for the past few days...
1.U guys remember the episode in friends 9Th season i guess, where Rach and Ross hire a male nanny and Ross is so not OK with it...Then he says "WY would a guy want to be a nanny? Its like a girl wanting to be...__ .." And he cant seem to find the rite ending for it...So i was wondering...Apart from the biological differences between the genders what can a guy or a girl do that the other cant.. My friend Suggested that girls cant do mining...but me thinks its only coz we are not allowed to,I mean we may die doing it,But we still can do it.So can u think of any?
2.My friend recently had put this up on her Gtalk status "Be born.... Everyday"
It not only made my day ...But changed my attitude as well ...thanks Ammu if Ur reading this!!
3.Realized that (SOME)times or rather ( exponentially increasing with age) times everyone encounters a new face of life which is not been faced by anyone till now or probably we are new to it...Anyway the point is in such situations we can never depend on anyone to take our decisions..Not even our family..Mostly ( is what i have noticed) these are decisions which are on our dreams...More so on our happiness...And its tough initially...But one gradually get used to walking the path alone...
4.Did a hell a lot of shopping the last 2 weeks..."Happiness sales Rock" :D ( not exactly a musing :P )
5. Oh i almost forgot...Even life seems to follow a vicious circle doesn't it?Well at least for me it does...Just when i think i am on calm waters with everything in control...Life hurls at me another storm to face...Another battle to survive ....another war to win.And when i come thru there is another one waiting for me :)
6.And that's me in the pic browsing yahoo website in college, while the lab was going on....For which i was unduly punished :P
Man i so miss college!! :(
Well that's all for now guys... Will call it a day ( Or a night?!?) :)
cya.
