The shadow...

2011-12-27T15:48:00.001+05:30

Philosophy talks about meaning. Meaning of life, meaning of actions and meaning of its consequences. In a crude form, it talks about going beyond the materialistic aspects of life and attain, for the loss of any other word, “enlightenment”.

Now imagine yourself in love. The world suddenly turns a rosy hue. You smile, conscious of this secret emotion running through you while you try acting normal. There is no better time and place you think you’d rather be. You look forward to those meetings with your lover. The endless discussions and plans you both make for your future. Let’s explore the little streets of Greece, you say. Your lover says; let’s try all the local cuisine. And both revel in these emotions, enjoying its warmth. You believe you posses all the happiness and peace the world has to offer you.

But what if “in a sudden moment of realization” you sense something beyond this reality. You sense, while you and your lover are relaxing at a local café in Greece, that this is not what you are supposed to be doing, this is not what the purpose of your existence is. You sense something calling out to you, something beyond this thin film of reality. In that moment, just for a fraction of a second you sense an alternate life walking parallel to you, a life without your body, without your identity. An anonymous creature expanding and occupying, just for a fraction of a second, all your consciousness.

You blink. You see your partner smiling at you in the warm august sun. You smile back.

Looking back...

Hi,

I am not sure whom I am directing this post to. Maybe to myself. Maybe for the future, when I will come back to read all the posts on this blog after many years. Like I did today.

Its been three years....and a countless changes. I am not quite sure if I am even half the same person I was when I posted my last post here. As I write this, I am not even sure if I will ever come back here to write again. But the memories were a bit too much for me to resist typing this post out.

Its ironic. I return to this blog out of sheer coincidence ( A spam comment mail in my inbox),exactly 4 years from the day I began this blog, 18th December , 2007.

I had considered deleting it in the past. But I let it remain. For old times sake. For memories. Maybe I will return.

Yours truly...

Timeless....

There are times when happiness knows no bounds

and the tears just don't stop...

And some other times, when sadness stretches into the horizon

and yet you can't shed a tear...

Strangely, these are the times that are remembered the most.

One, for the memories permanently etched in your heart..

and the other, for the lessons forever engraved in your mind.

Fre(e)quent Updates?!?

2008-10-22T21:11:00.013+05:30

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....

But now its plain irritating!!!!

I cant imagine how pple can actually have the time or patience to update their status messages and put up pics on Orkut, like every half an hour?? And the captions being more absurd than their orkutting activities...

"MY bedroom"

"My shoes"

"Me cooking (or rather pretending to )"
"My loo"

Err people "How about "Me in my loo!!" Trust me,one sure shot way to your 10 hours of virtual fame!!

I mean i love Orkut,And cant deny i am little addicted to it...But they seem to have stretched it a little too far by giving updates of every comment made by anyone ,on any pic of anyone in Ur friend list!! And pple actually hold conversations in there!!How more sad can their lives get??

Get a life pple!!And give exercise to something other than your fingers!!

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 !!

:D

Decency is not ignorance...

Decency is faking ignorance!!

...

ROCK ON!!

2008-09-10T22:24:00.010+05:30

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!!

And before i leave, i have to mention the experiment on particle collision being conducted at CERN.Predictions of Doomsday on a Wednesday is whats doing the rounds.So much that even Google has changed its icon status to that of a collision between what looks like 2 missiles.Maybe the Earth may not exist tomorrow...

So if Ur reading this,do post in Ur thoughts.You may not be able do so tomorrow.Kya pata,kal ho na ho!! :D

A journey to remember...

2008-09-06T01:19:00.007+05:30

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 :)

Cya.

Be proud to be an Indian!

2008-08-15T01:30:00.010+05:30

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!!

I am back....err but not exactly with a bang :D

2008-08-06T00:06:00.022+05:30

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.

A Promise to remember...

2008-06-27T18:17:00.008+05:30

Why?? Why do some people enjoy watching other's failure more than their own success? What pleasure do they get in seeing people squirm in pain? The sad part, they being your so called friends...Why? I mean why this Double sided, Sadistic face which shows up every time Ur in pain?

so to all those lousy,pathetic and hollow people out there...

"You may be having a big laugh for all that i don't have or cant do right now but trust me, There will be a day when i will have the last laugh.

And I promise, on that day I Will laugh not for all that you don't have but because of EVERYTHING that i have."

Trying my hand at....

2008-06-18T00:07:00.006+05:30

Life is at such a stand still....
Fed up of the same old boring daily drill...
Not to mention ,everything that's going against my will..
Or is it just me making a mountain of a mole hill?

Well that's as pathetic as i can get at poetry... :D

Bdays and Holidays....

2008-05-14T16:28:00.007+05:30

OK i am going to pretend its been just one week since my last post and free you all from reading my good for nothing excuses.... But if you still insist,this is how its been....

Exams...
Sleep...
Project...
Sleep...
Exams...
sleep...
Project...

So now u got the point rite? Anyway the only reason i am here to break my looooong absence is that i will be going away on a long Holiday to Bangalore....And coincidentally My blog will turn one year old in my absence.Although i have not been like those award winning Bloggers who post almost daily...It feels nice to go check back on what i have written and recollect those past memories.

so here's wishing "RANDOM THOUGHTS" a very happy Bday....Oh by the way its on the May 18Th....

And My present to "RANDOM THOUGHTS" is that--

"I promise from here on that i will post more regularly and not neglect it "

cheers!!!

PS: Complete updates of everything under the sun after i come back.... :)

I wish...

2008-03-07T18:51:00.013+05:30

Well on any other normal day i would have come up with a big list,but today i just have one wish.Yes only one.I wish mom was here with me right now.

Well she has gone to Bangalore and its been 3 lonely days being at home without her.Gosh i am dying to see her. Although i talk to her every 3-4 hours its just not the same as having to see her smiling beside you.I probably have never been so vocal about my love to her,and i guess i will never be.Somehow its very difficult to say "i love you" to your parent...(or is it just me !?!) The words just don't come out. Anyway here it goes...

Mom i love you,for every thing you are and for what i am today.You mean the world to me.Somehow i had taken you for granted and never really gave so much thought to your presence in my life. I know you probably will never read this,but it just gives me a lot of satisfaction to have said it out,to have written it down somewhere.Love you mom,and i miss you.

Waiting for you to come back tomorrow .....

And also for the goodies you are bringing back for me! :D

Who am i??

2008-02-21T19:04:00.013+05:30

You know every time someone comes up with this question i go completely blank...Well yeah it was pretty easy for Spiderman to answer the question(Who am i?? i am spiderman!!) coz he is a super hero...but who am i??I am just an ordinary college goin gal...
I mean Can u really describe yourself...Me thinks you can, only if u know completely about yourself.But everyday brings with it a new situation,a new beginning,a new hope,a new experience and thus a new you.And u can't just put all this down in words for others to read....Even Calvin( yes the hyper-imaginative kid) could only come up with this...

So what can u expect from an ordinary soul like me....

Just another Monday!!

2008-02-13T19:13:00.014+05:30

Monday, 5.10 AM : Me sleeping.My alarm goes off for the third time.Was supposed to get up at 5.00 am and study for my exams.

5.26 AM: Wake up,after mom yells at me for the 2nd time and pulls my bedsheet off.

5.48 AM: In the balcony,having a cup of coffee,wondering when was the last time i woke up so early.Its a wonderful day outside.Cloudy and all...Its sad,i think, to waste such a beautiful day on 2 exams.

5:55 AM: Finally start going through my textbook.

6:22 AM: trying to recollect everything i have just read,but in vain.

6:50 AM: Decide its of no use and give up trying to study further.start getting ready for college.

7:40 AM: I am done getting dressed and have full 15 minutes for breakfast,before i leave for college.(wow thats never happened before, i think.)

7.55 AM: Having had a super delicious breakfast,i leave for coll.

8.02 AM: The first auto i stop agrees to take me to my bus stop.

Cool!!That too has never happened before,coz its always me begging autos to stop and letting them quote absurd fares to get to my bus stop,(which for the record is just 2 kms away) All the while messaging my friends at the stop to ask the driver to wait if i get late.....

8.11 AM: Reach my stop 10 minutes early..It really is a great day...everything is going so smoothly.Me hoping my exams will go well too.

8.25 AM: All of us waiting for the bus.Its starts to drizzle.

8.35 AM: Waiting....

8.45 AM: Still waiting....and it starts to rain.me thinking this is not going good.

8.50 AM: One of my friends calls the lecturer in charge of transport,who informs us the bus is not going to turn up.He asks us to take an auto to a place halfway to our college ,where another bus is waiting .Crap ,we all think.

8.55 AM: All of us go on to the main road,trying to stop autos.

Miraculously all the autos seem to have disappeared.Its raining hard now.Me wet and unhappy and mildly angry..

9.00 AM: Finally, we find an auto(yes he did quote an astronomical amount...but who cares!!)
And foolish that i was, i went and sat at the window or whatever u call it.Me completely wet now...and COLD.

9.22 AM: We reach a junction where the entire road was clogged with 2 feet water.

No,i thought.We are not going to go into this mucky water.But the auto driver thought otherwise.He actually rushed into water,filling the floor of the auto with dirty brown water...
We were wet till our ankles in that mucky water.( me thinking, getting wet in the rain was not a bad idea after all..)

9.40 AM: Finally reach the other bus....Wet and cold.

The rest of the day went pretty much the same way.I screwed both my exams.. fell asleep in the bus while going back home and hence missed my stop.
The only good thing was mom bought me a new pair of earrings in the evening.

Me thinking,a meagre compensation.

Did someone just say "All is well that ends well" ?!? Thats probably bcoz he/she slept through the entire thing...

PS:- My longest post ever had to be on one of my crappiest days!

Just like that....

2008-01-22T21:53:00.000+05:30

Just felt like putting this up here.... Well i have a lot of favourite songs but every time i hear this ...its like a lump rising in my throat.... trust me ...one of the most beautiful songs by Savage Garden ever.A must hear..

Two Beds And A Coffee Machine - Savage Garden

And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping
Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor

Been up half the night screaming now it's time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

And there are children to think of
Baby's asleep in the backseat
Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she'll have to go home

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of the night
But there's hope in the darkness
You know you're going to make it

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Silent fortress built to last
Wonder how I ever made it...

The road ahead...

2008-01-13T23:42:00.000+05:30

Life's been an utter confusion for the past 3 days...i have been asked so many questions and have been given so many options ,my head is actually reeling .

Yes, i screwed CAT.Big time.God i can't believe i am writing this stuff here, when i had decided there would be no mention of such stuff in this place.No i am not looking for pity...just wanted to let it out.There is really no one who can understand me right now.You know its really strange,every single person taking the CAT has so many aspirations tied to it,even if he/she is seriously not preparing for it.So did i.But now the thing is,i don't know which category i belong to.. one who worked hard or the one who didn't.Well, actually i am a little of both.I did work for it.But probably not hard enough.Gosh i so hate to admit this.....

I guess and i know there are about a lakh of people out there who are going through the same emotions as i am right now,but that's hardly consoling.The fact is, i had hardly thought beyond CAT.It never struck me to come in terms of the situation.Yes i knew i was not going to get through and yet i had not planned for the days ahead.Now,i am overwhelmed with so many options, its actually impossible to decide on one.

So ultimately i decided to chill for a while before i made up my mind on anything.Its not going to be easy putting important matters off my mind,but i am going to try.So long for now...

PS: Watched JAB WE MET (although i don't really like Kareena) and really liked it.First Socha naa tha and now this,i guess the director will go places.

Are u a geek??

2008-01-10T13:46:00.000+05:30

Well the "Are u a geek?" quiz is one of the few fun quizzes i took to put myself in numbers and graphs.....It turns out not all quizzes were fun and some were actually trying to put me in the "duh" light...so clever as i am i just stopped these quizzes halfway....If u want to prove urself dumb or geeky or anything else for that matter u go check out this site....

So i am not a geek ...sigh.... : D

And finally.........

2007-12-27T21:47:00.000+05:30

Well i finally got to add a slide show of some of the pics of my trip ......Its on the right side of this page ......so check them out : )

(Some of) The best days of my life.........

2007-12-25T23:53:00.000+05:30

I guess the title says it all....Its been quite some while since i posted something here but there has been so much going on after i returned from the trip. The North trip that i was talking about in my last post... i have no words to describe it...it was Amazing to say the least..After i came back i really wanted to write down every single moment of those ten days in this space...well, then i realized its not really possible...but after so many days, instead of the trip as a whole, i can recollect some of the most beautiful moments in those ten days..So i thought what better way than to note them down here for all of u to know and for me to remember....so here it goes...

THE TOP TEN MOMENTS OF MY TRIP!!

MOMENT #10 :
The South Indian food we got to have in Delhi after 4 days of Roties and Paneer.No offense to North Indian food coz its my favourite cuisine.....but being a south Indian i really could not help feeling "south Indian food" sick .

MOMENT #9 :
The return train journey back to Hyderabad when we played UNO from 8.30 am to 2.30 am.It was just unbelievable!

MOMENT #8 :
The horse ride up a mountain in Shimla...it was scary at first coz the horse kept moving and i could not get onto it...but later, once i got used it, it was great fun...

MOMENT #7 :
All the Shopping i did on the 2nd night at Agra , Delhi and Chandigarh .....and yes i don't deny i am addicted to it...no wonder it was so memorable....

MOMENT #6 :
The Taj Mahal. Well this might sound cliched but seriously...its really a beautiful wonder....Just the Hugeness of the structure amazes u.And the sight is just breathtaking!

MOMENT #5 :
The Silly gossip we had throughout the trip...god!! 10 days of non stop talking!?! ....cant imagine how much fun it adds to a holiday :)

MOMENT #4 :
The snow fight we had at Manali.Now this is memorable for two reasons.One : that i had been wanting to see and touch snow from childhood and two : the entire fight was so much fun!!(plus the fact that i slipped and fell down added to it..)

MOMENT #3 :
River Rafting at Manali.It was one of the best times of my life....Had immense fun.One great experience!!

MOMENT #2 :
Celebrating my best friend's birthday at a Dhaba.We cut a cake at 12 in the night in a rundown dhaba.This will remain very memorable to me..

MOMENT #1 :
This is to sum up the entire journey.I am at loss of words to say something here....The small fights,the silly giggles on even sillier jokes,trying to stuff our luggage with all our shopping stuff till the zip actually tore,Promising to have a night out playing cards and ending up dozing off, the food we shared(tons of cotton candy), the beautiful sights we saw,the hot coffee in the freezing cold,the pictures we took,and the list goes on...

All i can say is those ten days were simply some of the best days of my life.

The only sad thing is that all this fun we have had reminds me of how less time is left of my college days....barely 4 months and i am done with my engineering.Its been one beautiful, 4 years of journey but has given me a life time of friends and memories...

The past month...

2007-11-24T00:25:00.000+05:30

Before i even begin....i must thank all those of u who loyally turned up to check out this place for new posts....i know this place has been very disappointing but i got valid excuses...so read on..

Well another semester is over ....OK almost over( i got one more exam to go)..but its been one hell of a month....to begin with, exactly a month back my system stopped working...yes and i was totally cut off from using the net...not that i was complaining coz exams were around the corner and i was 24*7 online so it was some sort of an enforced isolation from the virtual world....but still i at least wanted to go online to check mails....but alas ..

then we had loads of pending college work to do....yes that covered up the last week of October..then in November i had a stream of exams including the mocks i took on Sundays....it was hell trying to get through so much...and i still cant believe i got through my lab exams without a system...well i guess everything has a first time. And yes its also the first time i am going on a tour to north with my classmates...Its funny coz i was so totally not into going initially but now the excitement is slowly creeping in.... hope its fun...

and oh ya if you are wondering ,after all that hype about my new template wy i came back to my black one...its coz i started hating those stupid polka dots...

well there is still so much to write but i think i will save it for another post...till then cya....

2007-10-13T23:07:00.000+05:30

Only at the break of dawn ,

does everything make sense,

for in the darkness of night,

even a pebble looks like a pearl.

This and that...

2007-09-29T21:34:00.000+05:30

Well i have been trying to think of something to write here for quite a few days but there is just absolutely nothing that's getting through to this thick head of mine...

So for the first time ,i present to u some random thoughts,so totally true to my blog...

1.I have this pathetic habit of trying to be a perfectionist...OK "perfectionist" might be a bit of an exaggeration..but seriously i just want everything my way.I have this serious problem of not being able to see any flaws in myself.Might sound a bit cocky but who cares....at least i am being honest about it.

2. I wish i had better hair.Mine is on the border of becoming a frayed wire.

3. I have typed and erased this space 4 times and i don't know what to write.

4.I wish the traffic jams in Hyderabad would end.I hate it.

5.Music,according to me is LIFE.Any genre,any language...It crosses all barriers.

6.Its been more than 6 months since i saw a movie.No i am not a geek,just have not had the time.(More on that maybe sometime later)

7.I saw 2 concentric rainbows outside my house the other day.Why am i making a big deal of it? Coz i bet hardly anyone has seen it. :)

8.I love perfumes.Fine i also love clothes,jewellery,cosmetics and blah blah blah...

9.I am bored and don't want to write anymore.

LOL :D

2007-09-08T19:38:00.000+05:30

The other day my friend V (i don't think she would like her name here...) and me were yapping our heads off in the class when she told me about this funny incident .....it turned out to be one of those days when we spoke so much ,it felt like 2ND year of engineering again...

Anyway coming to the point,she told me that the other day when she had gone to the parlour(no not the icecream one) ,she overheard a girl (who had apparently come there for a manicure...) speaking to a guy over the phone...After a minute or so when she put the phone down,she told her friend sitting beside her that the guy asked her........

"why did you have to go so far to get your hands washed!!!!"

Well i know the title might have been kinda misleading...but seriously i could not think of any other one.....And yes for all the guys reading this, a small piece of info - A pedicure is much more than getting your hands washed.... Well,Forget it...whom am i trying to convince!?!

I am loving it... :D

2007-09-01T13:54:00.000+05:30

Just love the new look of my blog....

its like a makeover,with all new clothes and stuff....

Just love the weather in the evening now a days..

a complete treat to my eyes.....

Just love the fact that i am ok again...

Freedom in '07

2007-08-15T22:38:00.000+05:30

August 15th 1947 - Indian Independence Day.60 years back, on this day India took its first breath of freedom.The monumental efforts put in by our freedom fighters paid off on this day.But I am not here to glorify(although with due respect to them) or emphasize the struggle of the Indian freedom fighters.Nor am i here to talk about our achievements in all these years.Today i am here to bring to light what the word FREEDOM has come to mean to all of us.

Its been 60 progressive years for our country,and there have been tremendous changes in all the sectors.with barely an economy to support the entire nation in the 1950's to a one trillion dollar economy in 2007,that too in just a span of 60 years is undoubtedly a great achievement.But as the economy,the revenues,the standard of living,the population and other statistics of political,social and economic measures have been increasing,suprisingly so, the rate of poverty in our country has remained the same if not risen.We can still see hundreds of villages devoid of any basic facilities,while the cities are turning into a jungle of skyscrapers.Its strange that when we talk about development, we mention the new flyover or the new airport thats coming up in our city,conveniently forgetting the lack of electricity or water in the adjacent villages.But thats how it works.anyway i wont go into all those details.

Today when India has become a global name,the very reason for which it was known,its essence seems to be fading.I am talking about the Indian culture,its tradition and its heritage.It was known for its rich morals and values,which was derieved from various religions without any bias.today the same morals seem to have lost their place in our lives.The feelings of patriotism,love,brotherhood which were the basis of living in those days...all seem to have slowly faded during all these years.Freedom,for which we struggled, so that we could become independent and self sufficient,has now come to become just another word thrown around on 15th august or 26th february.Freedom has now come to mean the right to kill,the right to be corrupt and so many other such things.With wars going on ,on a global scale, the value of a human life has been reduced to a mere garland of flowers... or
maybe even less....

Its sad how August 15th has become just another sunday...............still

Here's wishing all Indians a very happy Independence day.
JAI HIND.

The walks of life........

2007-08-05T21:02:00.002+05:30

Was there a chance for me to put in a word? ....i dont think so...
Life has never been like this before ...There was this time when everything went perfectly.....or rather "my way".
But lately life has been topsy turvy to mention the least.No its not the monotony that i am talking about....its more pertaining to the state of mind... as though life's been taking all its decisions for me....
Life's been kind ,no denying that....but what have i done to make it generous....as far as i can remember........ NOTHING!!
There has never been anything lacking as far as the capability goes ...... but some how that "lil more effort", the will to walk that extra mile....that never seems to be happening...
It goes without saying that the power lies within me to stir things up....as its truly said its not the destination but the journey that matters,and if that is taken up with the best intentions kept in mind.. well the rest is assured.

finally i leave u all with this....

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.
ROBERT FROST.

The rains are here again!!!!

bringing with them a lush of greens,

filling eyes with beautiful dreams,

drenching the earth with showers of freshness,
casting around us ,rainbows of happiness.

SoAp(y) mess.....

Hmm it seems like i hav ignored this for a long time....not like i hav been busy or something ...but there actually has not been anything interesting to write ...

And what i have i been doin all these days? As jobless as i was, i ended catching up on a few episodes of the hindi soaps....and u know what??They just have'nt changed....

It goes like this... Its either one of these scenes

hospital(no where in the world are so many plastic surgeries done...)
a marriage 2,4 10 .....u name it...any number is possible...it works for divorces too
death bed
police encounter/station
court room
prison
or
the most important of all the "GENERATION LEAP"...

yeah the sure shot formula to raise the TRP ratings is to kill the lead character(oh dont worry its just gone in for a surgery or a few years of imprisonment)
or take a generation leap and introduce a minimum of 10 new characters..hehe..

The storyline is based on families that are huge , every business deal that goes on is in thousand crores....no less than that...people, no matter how many leaps take place ,never seem to get old!!

The women sleep with their jewellery on and the men are all dumb and mute, oh yes this another secret for high TRP'S...."women rule the roost"!

anyway the weird and funny part is the viewers know about all this......its the same stories all over again and again and again but people never get tired of watching it.Strange.

Well there is one good thing about these though....there is lot of mention of our Indian culture,moral values and our mythology.And a few serials like khichidi bring in a refreshing change...

Anyway i learnt my lesson.....so i decided to start reading books instead...and of course there is still music.

chaos for now.......

Hols!!??!!....Whatever...

2007-05-20T12:01:00.000+05:30

Yup...its that time of the year again ...it comes only twice in a year.....well at least for engineering students.......

Not that i am not happy....god its big relief, trust me after all those horrible "this does not make sense" and"why do i hav to do this" exams.....but the point i am trying to make here is at the beginnin of every holidays i make umpteen plans and promises to do what i hav ever wanted to do when i couldnt...huh??Never mind, its like i want to finish reading so-and -so book (oops does my list end here??) stuff like that.....

But all i end up doin is sleeping half the day and a few other things i dont want to put up here.....

Anyway...as usual this year too i hav made a few plans...and again as usual i solemnly promise to complete them.........(any bets out there??)....but on a more serious note...there really is a lot more to do in these hols....
signing off for now....got to go write down my plans :D .....cya

2007-05-18T23:18:00.000+05:30

Well this is just for the starters....been wanting to do this for a long time...but as they say...
"everything has a time ".....so here i start of this journey....

yours truly........
