The Importance of being LAZY..

Its a late Wednesday night, nothing too great about the day, and I am online..and like most of my friends, I too am killing time doing nothing but sipping hot chocolate, updating my status on facebook or text messaging a few people...and in a short while, planning to hibernate and dream!! BUT I sometimes wonder-
What if nothing exists and we are in somebody's dream?? Or better still, what if only that cute guy, the one I really like exists?? Life would be soo much better like that..A virtual world, were things are like the way I want them to be...

Woody Allen once said, "Eternal nothingness is fine if u happen to be dressed for it"...and so I am, dressed for the nothingness to take its toll on me. My mom tells me, "If u weren't soo lazy, u could accomplish a lot of things in life"...And I think to myself "I am going to start being less lazy", but I just get into the same pattern everyday, unintentionally of course...

People call it laziness, a disinclination to any activity, despite having the ability to do it. I call it indolence, it makes my laziness seem classy..A state of bliss, in which the fibres of my body are relaxed in common with the rest of my body and to such a degree that pleasure, pain, love or hatred seem alien to me.

But you know, laziness is not always so harmful..Infact everyone can be loosely classified into 2 groups..There are Intelligent lazy people and Stupid lazy people..
  • Intelligent lazy people: They do things the smart way in order to expend the least effort. They don't rush into things but take their sweet time to think and find the shortest but possibly the best path. And these people usually make good leaders.
  • Stupid lazy people: Stupid lazy people make their places too..Such people are easy to manage, they generally don't take initiatives to act on their own and , given tasks that are not beyond their ability, they'll perform in a predictable, consistent manner.
So a group of Intelligent but lazy people would agree with me that this works almost every single time..If properly harnessed it can accomplish anything and everything. I mean, I am not that kind of girl who begins early enough for my exam preparations but manage to do just fine...still my lazy strategy seems to be kind of weird to the just-in-time-sitting-in the-first-row-of the-class people..cos I know its common to think that success comes with hard work, but I've found the opposite to be true for me.

And so laziness in a nutshell is the mother of efficiency..and all of us need to gain some feeling for, some knowledge of, the differences between distraction and insight, laziness and leisure :-)

Laugh out loud!!!

I love people who make me laugh.I honestly think its the thing I like the most, to laugh.It cures a multitude of ills.Its probably the most important thing in a person.Its the best you can give to the world.To be able to make people laugh.To like extract their sorrows and help them find peace with themselves.I am not particularly good at it.But I can try.

And then in the process there are these endless frail attempts to find humour each passing moment.Every single thing, every single stupid idea,comment, non sensical, sub-intelligent and meaningless sitcoms,a picture a book,playing fashion police,just about anything, appearing or passing by,should have something funny about it...The catch is to humour yourself with it.
There are moments,those happy ones, when you laugh and laugh and laugh till the time you are not sure you want to continue laughing or just stop.The point is no one should be thinking in the midst of laughs.That is the whole point of 'Laugh outloud'...

You’re supposed to lose yourself in such escapades. You’re supposed to let your soul flow with the direction, or rather, lack of direction, when you laugh. You’re supposed to be in fits, or lost in some useless diminished sense.Basically its all senseless.and in the good sense... it's well good non-sense for that spur of the moment, just that moment..Only after a good laugh should you,if at all, try and make sense of what you've been laughing at.
I think
the wellspring of laughter is not happiness, but pain, stress, and suffering.The comic and the tragic,they lie inseparably close, like light and shadow. So we should be thankful for our suffering, for without it there would be nothing to laugh at! When we laugh at our woes, they dissolve, or at least become bearable, so that we arrive at peace and happiness.

I know, I do not practice it myself but i have seen people do it and trust me they are perfectly at peace with their lives and I look up to them for such bravery.They tend to like to laugh at themselves and sometimes at their absurdity.Because when they do so, they disempower all those who would make fun of them and then all those irritating confrontations.They do not laugh because they are happy but they are happy because they laugh.

Thats about it...I'll end on a rant..Laugh and laugh more..speaking tree says its even better than an orgasm!!
P.S...I hope you know laughing releases endophorins,our body's natural painkillers..more potent than an equivalent amount of morphine...
so laugh out loud :-)
bye for now..

Driving Blues!!

Driving on Delhi roads is an art which requires a lot of skill and preparation for some and not soo much skill and preparation for others...Its the closest u'll get to the ultimate experience of a lifetime..And considering its festival season, u'll wonder y they made houses and multi storied apartments for people to live in..they cud well live on d roads, in their cars, while they drive 24*7...In simple terms what u see on delhi roads dese days is POINTLESS WANDERINGS..neways coming back to the ultimate experience, for amateurs and pros still hanging on to d amateur soul, driving on delhi roads requires a few things
  • Good Brakes
  • A good loud, screeching horn and the art of honking every single second while u on the road
  • And lots of Good luck...mind u lots
Imagine ureself in a video game...like an extreme sport or sumthing..u hv to dodge other cars, rickshaws,bikes, stray dogs, cows to get to the next level...And then there are these 'aliens', like some weird mutants, trying to get the hang of d earth and earthlings..be really careful wid dem cos being an earthling ur are absolutely unaware of the turns they take and speeds they hit..The game gets harder at every level..u cud well use ur right of making various gestures wid ur hand to scare off ur competitors..If u happen to brush ur car against ne oda, the game turns into some ninja fight or sumthing only more verbal...I mean aisa lage toh na dat ur in delhi yaa...wats the fun odawise..

Be Careful and maintain distance from the cars and autos which have dese stickers wid 'ferrari', 'ultimate racing' etc pasted on them..Cos having these stickers means u have Super powers..like the ability to ignore common sense and drive recklessly...Ferrari literally means u start believing tht ur father owns dem or sumthing and u get to play like a 5 yr old wid his toy car...

Finally more than ur skills and talent, u need a lot of luck and faith in god...well never lose ur entire quota of good luck in things like exams,results and stuff..Keep a handsome amount for when ur on the roads...Esp if u like me and dont knw tht one is not suppose to talk on the phne even on a red light...

good luck wid it!!!

DO u believe in destiny??

An old man, sitting under this tree which according to him lost its life and soul the time it got struck by lightening, shares a story with it..And so does a girl...This girl, she just lost a chance to love the guy she wanted to be with...A chance she buried with him under this tree an yr ago...And she gives in to destiny thinking whats meant to be is whats meant to be...Shes ofcourse dissapointed and heartbroken...but she knows she cant shape and mould her destiny to be like how she wanted it..

The old man has a piece of advice for her...He tells her " Destiny is the bridge u build to the one u love...and probably shaping and moulding destiny is whats actually ure destiny"

Most of us take destiny as a natural course of action, a preset order to d cosmos, like a bullet wid ure name written on it or more like 'meant to be'..which makes it inevitable and unchangeable..I used to believe this theory untill a few years ago...but I saw things happen to me, to ppl, where a change could have made all the difference...I am writing dis tonite not just because im inspired by what d old man said, but also beacuse watever he said got me thinking dat giving in to destiny believing dats what was written for me, wasnt really the best idea..u knw d best way to live...

So I have this new theory...Well its not exactly new to everyone..it just struck me a lil late..but neways...From nw on destiny is gonna be the path i choose for myself..and im going to u knw make an effort to build tht bridge to d things and people I love...Cos if u dont make things happen to u in the way u want,then most likely they will happen to u odawise...and who knows in the process u mite just end up looking for something, finding something else, only to realize that what uve found is more suited to ur needs than what you thought you were looking for..dats serendipity btw..sucha nice sounding word for what it means, a fortunate accident..

Like i said its about a lot of soul searching, but its healthy once in a while..and i dont know if it makes u a better person, but atleast it gives u a good insight of what is like to be human...

ciao..

WATEVER

Advaita hs been after my life to post sumthing and like he tells me, i've been giving a stepmom treatment to my blog...one month widout a post..and im still clueless as to what m gonna write..So i'll just scribble all what i feel like for a few minutes. I am sure there may not be any coherence between what i start with and what i end! and yaa also in what i chatter in between.. but just keep reading :) hope my scribbles dont bore you!

I am finally at home..been 10 days now and it feels like a mnth already..ppl who knw me wud knw d amount of planning dat went into how i'd be spending my vacations..A list of things i had planned...doing a landmark course, learning guitar, or maybe a dance form, oh my chocolate making workshop( i mite stll do dat), going out every single day, blogging regularly, and cherry on d cake was d ladakh trip dat we girls had planned...YA YA..so now u know i wasnt really gonna do all of it...My plans have all gone in vain and all I do these days is watch movies and sleep endlessly...And ive started to realize how important a schedule and a routine is to our lives...I mean I get up in d morning, think what m i gonna do in the day..and then maybe an hr later m again sleeping...pretty much sucks!!! Life is so strange at times aint it? I have people around me ready with their suggestions as to what i shud do, where i shud go u knw...par in d end my day, its only about what i thot it was going to be like...

Was helping my kid brother wid sum creative work..more like a homework..and watching him do it sooo nicely, I realized kids are way too creative and they have a spark which even we do not possess..Its because they fear less, know not much and are amazingly receptive to ideas..i guess their brains work on a completely different frequency...We grown ups, we read, we learn, we think , we socialize and all this kinda creates a mental barrier and so we refuse to think beyond it...Its like when we grow up, the evil veils of the society, the education the people..they sort of tamper our brains, making it like a cranium machine or sumthing, fear blinding our eyes, never seeing what is special and never thinking to dare...

What more...umm whats bothering me d most lately are things tht hv been going on wid a lott of my frnds in relationships..Suddenly the entire focus has shifted to the Parents..what do they think of the guy or the girl, or better still, people breaking up just because they assume their parents wont approve of their relationship without even giving it a try...Its soo disheartening to see soo much chaos around..I mean really, the parents should know and like try and understand tht nobody asks for ur cast or color or weight or watever before falling in love..And its high time they value the love mre dan all dis crap..But amidst all the problems and family issues, I do see a ray of hope, i mean since wen was true love ths fragile and insubstantial??So ya like ive been told, its bout making the rite choice and things will start to fall into place..And the choice ofcourse is to keep loving no matter what!!

P.S.. Incase nething dont work out and u still face problems wid d parent thingy...ive come up wid a business proposal cum helpline in partnership wid a frnd...Its called BHAGODE ltd and we r in the initial stages of planning, investments and all dat...Well the plan is obv to help u guys like run away frm home, lol and we r sponsoring the run...Sharath told me to add on...We r giving away 50% discount to the first 5 couples...and incase u have parents out on the hunt, like find us and destroy us..let us knw in advance and we'd be most likely running wid u!!!hehe

dats it for now...I hope uve survived to read dis...hehe told u no coherence watsoever...neway..stay blessed!!

All about 'ness'

Have you ever thought wat it would be like, if one morning u woke up as sumone different??Wid different i mean u are suddenly like ur neighbour, or sumone in class, or shah rukh khan or just ne1 at random. How will it feel losing ur identity to sumone else. But whats ur identity? Is is just the way U look or ur name or d class u study in or where u put up?? Or is it sumthing bout u which is different frm d rest..Dupree calls it Ur 'NESS'...
He believes every1 has a 'ness' to them..The 'ness' tht makes u different, stand out in the crowd...a 'ness' which is characteristic of u. And u simply cant do without it..U do tend to lose it like at times of mental crisis but its all bout getting ur 'ness' back together and ur ready to rock..Now what exactly is 'ness'?? Well its a verb, its a conjunction, a preposition, its a philosophy, its a way of life, its UR NAME WID A 'NESS' ATTACHED TO IT...
And so i thought it wud be nice to explore a little about my frnds and their 'ness'...shld be fun...Its in random order of appearence..

  • Advaita-ness: U r sumone i sooo admire...And i cant stop going on and on bout the fact tht u r probably d purest soul ive seen..ur 'ness' is d way u look at life, d way u bring out the good in people, sumthing bout ur affection, its selfless and out of this world...I hope u spread dis 'ness' around..
  • gu-ness: Gu u hv been my fav bud..I hv seen a complete transformation in me, seen myself change fr d better..all thnx to u..U hv my most fav 'ness'...U r my gossip girl, my partner in crime and ur ness attracts ppl like soo much..its bout d balance u strike bw d head nd d heart..
  • Uppi-ness: Upasana aka uppi aka upla...Ur 'ness' is of a sweet, angelic girl, a voice thts music to ears...i dont know its sumthing soo charming and beautiful bout u...
  • Thak-ness: Dats by far d funniest ness..lol..Yogita baby ur 'ness' is the INNOCENCE, d heart of a child, of fun and laughter..theres sumthing grand bout thakness..never lose it..

Soul Mates..A perfect partner in a perfect relationship???

Who is our soul mate? What makes one person our soul mate and not the other person??This word means a whole lot different things to different people..For some, its smeone they've met or maybe seen across the proverbial crowd and its about the instant connection they feel with this person, or how it seems that they know the person already...CONVINCED THESE ARE A SIGN OF A PERFECT SOUL MATE RELATIONSHIP..For others, its a long, rewarding, lasting, healthy relationship of a few years after which they r happy to declare their partner as their 'soul mate'...And for the ones like me, the quest for a soul mate seems never ending...

Whatever the context maybe, the phrase soul mate to most of us implies 'living happily ever after till death do us part'..It has come to represent an illusive fairy tale idea of the 'perfect' partner in a 'perfect' relationship...

As for me, a few of my friends and a lot others, we've met people we instantly clicked with,a whole new world of exciting love, romance, all the good warm vibes and the idea of having a someone special...every thing has been hunky dory as if its the perfect little sunshine in our garden we've been waiting for since forever..And its not long enough before we realize okay, probably hes d one i can call my 'SOULMATE'....

But hello, love doesnt always come in such convenient packages na!! And things start to shake up a bit, then a lot, finally ending in the two of us parting ways...But oiii wait!!! U were the one I declared my Soul Mate rite?? werent u suppose to last like forever forever?? I mean thats what I was told..thats exactly what I felt when we were together...We did soo much to be together...U said I was d one u always wanted..blah blah blah!!

Look around...maybe u are not the only one who is shattered today...there are many others cupid played games with...u feel cheated, disheartened, as if the Mr or Miss perfect for u just changed course and u'll never find him/her again...But look again, there are people who are happy and probably will be happy for a long long time...somehow things are just perfect for them..they have all that they asked for!!

So Whats the Bet??Why is it that for d 'US' lot, even though there is just one true soul mate, but still there are potentially multiple people who can come pretty close. That theres not just one Mr. Right out there but a potential horde of Almost Mr. Rights you can fall almost in love wid, and then fall out of love wid!! In any decent sized city full of lovely singletons, there are probably dozens of people who could make d cut for any person. Every night of the week – instead of 4 times a year. Then why is it that fewer and fewer people feel d drive to make, or live up to d “Aint No Mountain High Enough” kind of promises???

The question still remains unanswered for me..And i guess I will never be able to figure out d concept of 'Once soul mate and today NOBODY'!!

How to cook pasta...

Ma normally doesnt cook on sundays..Its either me or pa, khichdi or pulao, or we just eat out..Today, I was in the mood for sum Italian...So I thought i'd ask pa to take us all to a nice italian restaurant so i cud munch on penne with white sauce and mushrooms and sundried tomatoes...But since i was out d entire day, and guudu s having her exams, my idea was turned down...And what followed instantly was a voice frm across d room..'khichdi or pulao?'...but thankfully pa came to our rescue...and he was going to cook us a nice italian pasta..I was happy to help..but cudnt have done it myself since i was too tired..

No doubt d pasta was decent considering it was his first attempt at italian, but the sight of him cooking it inspired me like sooo much..tht i cudnt resist myself frm posting this aaj hi..And i sit here wondering, do all men cook like dis?? Is it like sum signature way of putting all d ingredients together, sum magic dat u'd do wid d spatula..lol

Ma said she wish she had a pen and a paper den so she cud like note down d new secret recipe to his pasta..lol I do remember like the crucial steps and i guess its time i reveal dem..And ladies, u cn actually copy d recipe..pa woudnt mind..

Step 1: Boil a lot of water in one of those pot things...*mind u a lot of water* cos u dont know wat if the pasta s like too thirsty today??

Step 2: Skim over the directions *in case u forgot the necessary ingredients such as water or heat*

Step 3: Dip ur finger in every 2 mins..the moment it hurts like hell..its time to add d new ingredients

Step 4: Simply mash your thumb with extraordinary force to open up d packet containing the penne...*u dont really have to use d scissors, dey are meant for kids for their crafts*

Step 5: U look rite and den left..see if sum1 saw ur muscle power when u opened it..was too easy aint it??

Step 6: Its almost impossible to boil d pasta without spilling it over..and once half of it goes inside the water, u can conveniently scoop up d rest with ur hand and put it in

Step 7: Its tempting to stare at d bubbles...so u dont put d lid while it boils

Step 8: Just ... dont stare too close, or for too long. Eventually, you will need to remove this hypnotic mess from the stove. Dump it into the sink to drain. Don’t bother with one of those girly colander.

Step 9: Time to add the cheese and milk...funny..plastic melts the same way!!

Step 10: Put all d masalas u know...Afterall indians are famous for innovations...lol he almost picked up d chat masala frm d fridge..

Step 11: Time for the penne to go into d indian plastic..lol..no d sauce!

Step 12: U serve it to every1...u knw how eagerly ppl wait for dinner...

NOTHINGNESS

I havent updated my blog since quite some time now. I dint want to get back to blogging this way but here I am, doing what I do best- writing a meaningless random post which is, well, meaningless..
I had a given a job to a friend like to find me certain topics so i cud keep myself busy thinking about them all day long..and he did a pretty good job..came up wid loads of meaningful, thoughtful stuff...it did excite me for a while...like charging my batteries...but somhow it just died...and d topics, well, still intact in a msg in my phone..

I often experience such moments, where i fell absolutely nothing. And most often than not it happens after a terrible week, or in my case rite now, exams...though i knw i havent been reading like a crazy nerd or sum1...I have actually been watching a lot of movies...I used to treat myself wid a new movie every nite during my exam days..and it turned out tht I was thinking bout d guy or d story or how emotional i got or how i wish dat girl was me nd stuff during those 3 crucial hours...thnk god i dint screw any of d theory papers..but yeah now dat my exams are over( d theory atleast)...dere s NOTHINGNESS in d air all around me...
But its not just studies. A lot of other things. Things dat should cause a normal human to react in a drastic way, leave me unfazed now. And you maybe thinking 'its good rite?'.But the truth is it doesnt feel quite alrite. This is so not me!
Am i scared? No..am i worried? No..am i frustrated? No...confused? sad?angry?tired? no no no no..
peaceful? hell no!
I am emotionless, not disturbed, not feeling too great either..Almost feeling like a rock..you hit it hard, bang it sumwhere, push it off a cliff. Do anything with it..its least affected.
I feel like a rock..i am least affected.

Worrying about things isn't a good idea but not worrying at all isnt great either.Atleast dats not me. My friends tell me i'll die worrying about sumthing, trying to figure out my life, finding solutions, crying bout stuff, being emotional and blah blah..Maybe they r rite..maybe im like dat..but again its quite possible tht 'tension' haunted me soo much in the past tht it got tired of my reactions towards it...Maybe the fact tht ive been on an emotional roller coaster ride all dese years, has turned me soo impassive...

When things seem to get out of ur control they r better left to God. But if God does all the working??what will I do? Shoudnt I be doing sumthing??
But havent I done enough in my reach, to tackle dese issues already??

I am being torn apart in two worlds..I am calm, calm not in a good way, but calm nevertheless. Not hopeless not sad, not broken but not the other way round too..

So yaa..theres a lot of nothingness around!!And I dont know wat to do about it...Its all BLAH!!

My Green cuppa...

My Green cuppa...Chocolate and more chocolate, coffee ice cream and more chocolate , chocolate cake and more chocolate, chocolate sprinkles and more chocolate, chocolate syrup and never ending chocolate...Every darn form of chocolate u can imagine...Its a cascade of over d top chocolate indulgence..
Worship St. Mocha for chocolate avalanche..BOW dwn to d king!!He s d master..He s a way to heavenly pleasures......Bliss is happily more blissful!!

And everytime i lay my hands on it, its some twilight zone im transported to...Lol like d one in d dairy milk ad ' kuch khaas hai zindagi mein'...Its not just food den, its an avalanche of every emotion put together. Happiness, sorrows, giving, taking, love, ecstasy, fantasy wid a hint of caution..loaded with suprises, delightful and sum downrite disaggreable..

Its the first bite, and ur clueless how it gonna taste, and as the chocolate and coffee ice cream melts in ur mouth..lol...YUMM..every new thing dat happens, every new friend, every happy moment, every little suprise,a new romance...it feels like chocolate sugar high..with soaring emotions, exhilarating self esteem boosts and sense of a new high...

And then, the nuts, sprinkles and d crunchy...the euphoria of the smooth sailing...suddenly collapses!!Nuts just take up spaces where d chocolate ought to be..Like a sudden burst of practicality, like as if sum1 woke u up frm a delighful dream...like a knock knock...dude its all over!!But what d hell...deres more!

And its bout time...been longing, settling for less than wat my heart desires...a higher love..chocolate cake with hersheys syrup, some strawberries maybe...ecstasy beyond the jaded, cynical dissapointments..YUMM??

And at the bottom, theres this last bite, i know girls who'd kill for d last bite (good husband??ne1??)...leaves u gasping for more...

Contented? Rushed? Exciting? Stressful? Moving forward? Holding back? For many of us it’s all of the above at times. There are things we dream of doing one day, there are things we wish we could forget. What would your life look like if you could start over with a clean slate?
A New Cuppa maybe???

To DELHI...wid Love!!


“Who said Hunooz Dilli Door Ast (Delhi is yet far away)?”
Coming from a place sum 20 kms away, which is considered an illegitimate cousin of delhi, doesnt stop me frm screaming it out and loud "I LOVE DILLI"..

I was born here, ma pa came to delhi in 1982, three yrs before getting married. I attended high school here. Have been reading bout the great heritage, been on 'delhi darshans' sum trillion of times( every winter breeze and sunshine used to take us to India Gate, having candy floss in the lawns... sunday meant an outing with family and frnds to cannaught place, every school picnic or edu trip meant we were out exploring the rail museum, qutab minar :-) ).
Two decades and still sooo awed by the majestic city. It still is a feast to my eyes. Its the city I call home.
"This is to tell you about Delhi city
the sum and substance, the real nitty-gritty.
And of course you’ll know why I love Delhi

despite the incivility, chaos and melee".

I love delhi: For It rides through contradictions..being led by a woman chief minister and still called 'unsafe for women'. A Rs 2 kutting chai is as good as Rs 90 ka cappuccino. The summers are as scorching as the winters are chilling. The sun rises to 'Aloo lo, bhindi lo, pyaaz lo, tamatar lo'...even if u are d elite and come from the most posh colonies. Where guys on one hand protect their gfs frm prying eyes and odwise go ogling at other women.

I love delhi: For momos at brown sugar, for pastas at big chill, for chaat, for gol gappas,for khan chacha ke rolls, for chandni chowk ke paranthas, jama masjid ki biryani, english dairy ka sasta khana, for priya's ka egg roll, for jnu ka ganga dhaba,for cumsum, for nirulas ka hot chocolate fudge, for bengali market ki raj karchori,for njp ka pocket parantha, for punjabi by nature ki dal makhni, for tom uncle ki maggy, for wengers ke cakes, keventers ke shakes, sda ki beer, iitians ke liye sassi ke paranthe,bill aur hillary clinton ke liye bukhara, mere liye rk puram ke chole bhature...phew...
and plz in delhi 'gol gappas' are' gol gappas' and not puchkis or pani puri or nething else..

I love delhi: for chanakya...for we have grown up in d 90's watching sum of our fav movies there... ddlj, maine pyaar kiya, kuch kuch hota hai, hum aapke hai kon..lol...and den dhoom 2, jhoom barabar jhoom too happened...(sharath i'll never forgive u for d jbj disaster dude!)

I love delhi: For Delhi Public School..lol...i knw dis quiz on fb titled 'Are u a cool dipsite'?..
Ya man..I am!!..lol...I know u guys frm springdales, modern and mothers hated dipsites..par dude cummon deep down u always knew dipsites were sumthing else...a different league...lol

I love delhi: for Its the 'BESTEST PLACE ON DIS EARTH FOR SHOPPING'...i swear by delhi for lajpat nagar, sarojini, janpath and paharganj..for the most sasta and tikau (lol not soo tikau) stuff tht u get dere...and the malls for everything else tht u want...For shoppers too, Delhi is paradise...indeed for everyone – rich or otherwise!

I love delhi: for the metro...travelling hasnt been dis easy and fun before, except dis one time i almost got kicked out of the metro on sum random station close to pragati maidan thnx to 20 odd ppl trying to push me out...

I love delhi: for the people we are...we wake, we wonder, we switch off, we switch on, we organize, we categorize, we decide, we cant decide, last check perfect, we'r ready to face the world, we take calls, we make calls , we r juggling all the time, we call frnds, we text frnds, frnds of frnds ( we'r just frnds), we r hooked, we r addicted, we love it, we found it, we r hot, we r hotter, we r naughty , we r nice, we cant live widout it, its not just a city, its who we r...We are DELHIITES AND WE ROCK!!

Communication....

If i do not want what you want, please try not to tell me my want is wrong.

Or if i believe other than u, at least pause before u correct my view.

Or if my emotion is less than urs, or more, given the same circumstances,
try not to ask me to feel more strongly or weakly.

Or yet, if i act or fail to act, in the manner of your design for action, let me be.

I do not, for the moment at least, ask you to understand me. Tht will come only when you are willing to give changing me into a copy of u.

I maybe ur frnd, ur colleague, ur offspring. If u allow me any of my own wants, or emotions, or belief, or actions, then u open urself, so tht some day these ways of mine might not seem so wrong, and might just finally appear to u as right-for me.

To put up wid me is the first step to understanding me.
Not tht you embrace my views as right for u, but tht u are no longer irritated or dissapointed with me for my seeming waywardness.
And in understanding me. u might come to prize my differences from u.
And far frm seeking to change me, preserve me and even nurture those differences.

This way, sumday, maybe we can Communicate...

A lot of me!!

After a lot of soul searching and overcoming the hesitations of sharing it, i've finally come around to posting this..I got this inspiration from a blog i was reading a few days back..

I am: in a better mood now but im super duper busy and sleepy too!

I believe: Wat goes around comes around! God is up there and hes keeping track of all our deeds..Good o bad..he'll give u wat ur worth..

I want: every1 around me to be happy..oo abhi ke liye i want a dog, lots of chocolates, a loving bf, walking closet...wants dont end!

I have: my own set of rules..

I wish: i had a shift+delete option for all d pain and d bad memories!

I fear: going through a heartbreak again, cockroaches, snakes

I hate it: when its trust tht u break

I hear: ma shouting at me frm across d room

I smell: the rain and my new nailpaint

I crave: for chocolate avalanche and all the lost love

I feel: a restlessness inside me

I cry: to vent out my frustrations

I win: wenever its gut feeling i trust

I lose: wen its not 100% i give...and when its bout races..

I sing: cos im a happy singer!

I cook: cos its fun and i get to be around food!

I fight: wid my sis all d time..

I confuse: people when its not 1 answer i have

I cn usually be found: online on fb, driving in my froggie, sleeping

I hope: my day tmr ends better thn dis one did

I laugh: even at d most sasta jokes..

I dream: lol i remember dis guy i saw in a dream d oda day...dude where aare u?lets get married!

I eat: just bout anything veggie! dont like paneer though!

I would like to: tell every1 that girls too cn drive proper proper..huh!

The one where I admit I have seriously bad moments

'I feel soo frustrated'...chances are i've said this many times, either out loud or in my mind... I am in deep appreciation of those miraculous things occuring which i completely fail to understand. Comfort seems to me uncomfortable at this moment. I am drained out, dejected, frustrated and what not!
Did i just say i need a hug?
Its best to let the part go ofcourse, but its giving me weird sensations.
I would like to have the peace of knowing that troublemakers are far far away..Too far to really make any trouble. To most people around me trouble makers dont really exist..they like to believe its the crazy part of me who thinks that d world is after my happiness and nothing else but good ol words of ' r u freaking mad', ' ur thinking wayy too much' and 'i think ur plane jane stupid' should do the trick and keep me quiet.
But hey guys, u dont always need people to cause troubles for u na...It comes in various shapes and sizes and at different times in our lives. u may not know...wats hunky dory today mite just turn out to be a pain in d ass later..but yaaa as the saying goes 'we rather live in d present'..(makes me feel better)
I am a romantic person...atleast thats wat i wud like to believe. Yaa, no doubt tht i got out of my utopia thing but i do need a dose of 'everythings gonna be okay' stuff at times..I am soo sickened at myself for allowing people to be in my life who shudnt have been there. For allowing those who were wicked to drag me down. I had my whole world out dere full of happiness, I was on a new high doing things tht were meant to make make me and ppl around me happy. But then, what the hell?
Am such a dreamer..I miss stuff and all kiddish gestures, making castles and living like a princess with such awesumness around.Crazy, was I?
I miss being unwavering. I dont want the impossible.For once, i want things to be my way. I want more than i can have right now....

BOREDOM BLUES!


Sitting at home since morning doing just about nothing, this post is an indication of me turning into a complete sluggard. I cant be solely blamed for this one...With a two digit count in my wallet, the scorching heat ( dont really blame d heat, its actually d pocket) and virtually no company since my folks from mba are busy doing final touches to their summer projects, we r left with no place to go.
And since im sooo vella i thought of writing certain indications of boredom. Its an epidemic of a chronic disease..cud be fatal, it'll rob u of ur happiness...so here goes..

when ur morning starts at noon and u call it nite only at 4 o 5 in the morning...(I sumtime wish ma goodnite when shes ready to go for her morning walk)..

when asked to cook ur own meal, u end up making a toast or omlette odawise expecting a royal three course thingy..

when ur frnds tell u tht they r sick of seeing u online on fb all d time...

when its one pair of shorts is all u like in ur wardrobe and its against d rules to change into ne other..

when u check ur phone 5 times in 1 minute to see if neone called or msgd...

when u know wat shows are currently on air..and u have time to sit nd watch the repeats as well..

when irritating ma is suddenly d in thing...its like dis ritual...

when u pick up d phone to check on frnds u havent spoken to in daysss...

when sudoku becomes neccessary to keep d neurons alive and functioning

when u take random quizzes on fb and are sooo fascinated by the results, as if its some universal fortune teller...

when suddenly newtons first law of a body's tendency to remain in a state of rest unless odawise, sounds apt and all that u can preach..

Utopia or no Utopia..will still write

All my previous efforts to start blogging werent much of a success. Managed to write a single post i called my "utopian world". Got soo bored dat cudn't get myself to writing the second one :-)
And i remember making Dr Bhargava read it , which was quite an encouragement for me and a torture for him...poor thing had no other option but to appreciate the sad idea of utopia i had in my mind. But what d hell, i had written my first post and i was excited..Back then utopia was something i thought was specially designed and crafted for me..but then things did change for the better and today when i look back, i regret having closed my eyes to a lottt of things..To me its a compensatory mechanism to blindfold urself from d realities of life..

Neway, was being tormented since d past 2 mnths by 'Mr I DONT CARE'.....(kill me for dis but cudnt cum up wid nething better ;-)) with all his posts, the pre post-topic selection ceremony and d post commenting ritual, that i thought of taking a revenge. As he wud like to put it 'm trying to be cool and eh copy him', but who d hell cares???lol

Will have to rush since its bhai's bday and i have planned a little suprise for him and m dying to try on d new template...so ciao...keep blogging :-)
