Joy

It doesn’t help to call yourself a happy person, you know. It seems so out of tune with the rest of the world. Take reactions to sticky situations, for example. Initially, it ain’t sticky to me because I know things can’t be dreary and difficult all the time. And there’s always ice cream and comic strips even when things seem down. But someone else will think me mad. Cold even. “Who tries to be happy all the time?” they’ll say. “Tsk tsk” or “Bah!” they’ll say.
But in all the tears and burning eyes, I am thrilled when I hear someone sing while riding on the cycle. And I giggle when someone from the bus shoots a stream of red pan juice on a biker’s sparkly white shirt and realizing what he’s in for, quickly ducks before the biker can spot him. I still have mind space to be enraged about companies suddenly replacing the smiley old pot-bellied watchmen with strapping young things not bothering to find out people’s names, and standing ram-rod straight just all the time; never a “hello”, never a “tiffin over?” When I smell freshly ground coffee, eat yummy breakfast(at times even i get to have one), and go to college everyday sure that I can walk up to the class through the long long corridor to get in the class before my usual time, which is 5 minutes after the college starts, I’m content. Tell me a few bad jokes, and I’ll sleep happy that I’m funnier than everyone in the world.
As if these things are important, people tell me. If your own life is all messed up, how dare you not be worried about it? Or be worried about it by yourself? How can you run away from the problem by thinking of the time in the future when the problem will be long forgotten? How can you not want to share it with someone who’s dying to help?
I want to talk about it, I too need help. But admitting that is admitting that there is a low in my life. And I count no lows, right?
DAMMIT, sometimes, I tire of all the lying to myself.

Straight Turn Maadi!!

Footpath, rocky terrain, and mud tracks… nothing stops the Bangalorean from taking the route that would make sure he gets to his destination at least a minute early. At a traffic signal, impatient pizza, courier and death delivery boys fidget with their keys, visibly debating if it’s worth it to switch off the engine. You can see all necks straining to see ahead, to find an inch of space where the two-wheeler can squeeze itself. Horns will blare, voices will curse and a girl on a kinetic will add, “ExCuuuuse me! Uncle! Can you PLEEEASE move your BIKE?!” and go home to tell her roomies how she lost her cool and “blasted some idiot on the road”).
Then, a two-wheeler rider of great initiative will change all. He will lead all mankind out of this dark, smoky, suffocating agony. Only this chosen one will notice the vantage point — a clean entry spot onto the pavement. He will maneuver his bike deftly, riding along hawkers, pedestrians and parked cycles. And that will get him right in front of the cars, autos, lorries, buses and slow-witted bikes. Not to worry, the traffic cop won’t chase him. After all, it’s nothing out of the ordinary…. Plus, as this brave traffic warrior leads his motor vehicle on to the footpath, at least 15 other bikes would’ve followed suit. Yes. Even if there’s a maddening jam on the road, traffic flows freely on the footpath and adjacent roadless by-lanes. —“Adjust maadi” at it’s best.

Dido-White flag



I know you think that I shouldn't still love you or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it well I'd still have felt it,
where's the sense in that
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were but

I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door,
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again
And I caused but nothing but trouble,
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over" then I'm sure that that makes sense but

I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door,
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet, which I'm sure we will
All that was there, will be there still
I'll let it pass, and hold my tongue
And you will think, that I've moved on....

I will go down with this ship and I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door,
I'm in love and always will be

Farewell Time...

19th March is right at the corner? Ringing any bell? Yes.. but not a happy one for me.. Farewell for the seniors..time after which we will no longer be seeing their faces in the campus,time when we will have to take charge, sense of superiority, sense of responsibility........as for me, giving a farewell to the seniors will be a personal loss...have spent some really nice times with them...all those hang outs, those words of wisdom from them, those advices, their experiences with the faculty, freshers day, Graduation day, In Bloom, Ushus, etc etc etc...
I know every one will miss them but as far as I am concerned.....the loss will be deeply felt.

Cradling the phone

Burp!
hmmm... just tasted bits of yesterday's conversation.

Roy Orbison-Pretty Woman

Hero Power...Go!! Get it!!!

Sweep, sweep.
"Excuse me..."
"Maydem, so early to aapees (office)?"
(smile, sigh) "Work is there, Leela"
I wait for her to do her job. It's her time now. 8 am.
Slosh, slosh. Swob to right... Thud! hello, wall right. Swob to leffffft... Thud! cringe, wall left. Swob, swob.
Destination: Cubicle, stage right.
Obstacle: Industriously cleaned floor that looks wet enough to bring anyone down.
Aha! Dry patch! Maybe I'll walk quickly over that... My right foot lifts gingerly, with presumptious subtlely...
Damn. Too late. Leela's got that one too. Small-time predicament now becomes insurmountable challenge.
The wet floor expands menacingly, laughing a hollow laugh, daring me to sully its shiny cleanliness.
Ok. That's it. It's time for... SUUUUPER-RO! Ban-ban-pauuuuunnnnn... dan-DAN! dinchak, dinchak, dinchank, dinchak...
and her faithful (and situation-specific) side-kick, Greeeeeeen swivel chair!!! dinchak, dinchank, dinchak...
Super-Ro's extensible hands reach for G-chair's back. Leela swings her mop in extreeeeme slow motion, and drops of dettoled water slice through the air...
Super-Ro must think fast.
Once the mop touches the floor, sloshing will kill all chance of walkability.
A world that will never walk again. WILL Super-Ro be able to stop that???
dinchak, dinchank, dinchak...
Ohhh, Super-Ro's in bigger trouble. Her right foot won't get off the ground! Is gravity an enemy too? Or worse, is it some villanous gooey chewing gum from the pavement???
dinchak, dinchank, dinchak...
Super-Ro overcomes the first enemy. Chewing gums will never DARE to come in her way again!
The floor still scoffs at Super-Ro's heroic feat....
Super-Ro jumps onto G-chair, holds on to the arms (the chair's arms. Super-Ro gets 6 arms only in Episode-3. Pay attention), holds her breath (now you know what her superpower is) aaaaand ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM....
dinchak, dinchank, dinchak, dinchak.... Super-Ro zzzips past the walls, papers fly, pens topple over, lights are blinded. She charges, unstoppable, towards her super-computer all the way at the end of the hall.
She reaches her super-cubicle. Stands up victoriously. The walls only have ears, so they don't applaud.
But does SUUUUper-Ro care? She is already on her way to crush another enemy of the world- the water purifier.
dinchak, dinchank, dinchak...
So don't forget to tune in again... Saaaame Ro time, saaaame Ro channel....

Fret and Fume

Is it hypocrisy to hate fake atmosphere (example, airconditioned office) and fake trees (example, plastic ones) but absolutely love fake goods (ribok, nyki, Levyies, music CDs burnt at a friend's place) just because i can have it cheap? ohhh... where are my ideals?!

All for me?

Give and take has to be a myth. How can it be real when take-take-take feels sooooo good? Unless give means "give me"

Monday Blues...

Wanna know how??

Well...

Stayed up till late last night coz had to finish operations research assignment for the first lecture the next day

Got up damn late but managed to reach the college gate on time

Took my wallet to give the rick his fares but then realized that I have forgotten it.

Took the same rick and went home to get the wallet.

By that time I had already missed the class. That means a fine of 100 bucks.

Reached home to find that the wallet is missing.....searching the whole house to find it...went to the shop downstairs to find if I left my wallet there(and I live on the 3rd floor..and there are no lifts .. lol)... but got a negetive response there...

Searching searching the whole house to find the wallet in one bag I thought I will carry today but eventually took anoter bag as I thought it will go with my dress forgetting that the wallet is left in the other bag!!

Too much for the monday morning!!!!

My Next Book

I have picked up another book.The Fountain Head by Ayn Rand.
I know its good. Want to go through its pages once again.

Heartbreak

No guys... not mine this time, its already done, and how many more do you want?
Any ways... I just broke somebody's heart...but I think that it was necessary. It was for his good.

And then He said,"Its Over"

Finally I have finished reading Da Vinci Code.
Hmmm...time to think how the book was.
Its not that after reading the book I lost faith in my saviour, in Christianity, but yes, it made me think a lot.
More than taking the book as some work on faith, and religion and spirituality, I took it as a book which taught me a lot....the fibonacci sequence, Mona Lisa, Da Vinci, the Pentagon, the painting of The Last Supper(I dint even know that it is the work of Da Vinci), the history about the five petaled rose, emergence of certain terms which we use in our daily lives such as horny, Mary Magdalene etc. etc. etc. Too much to actually key it down.
Whatever the critics say, or whatever the truth is, the book is fascinating as well as enchanting.
My recommendations : Grab a copy and get going.

An attempt to get on the right track

3 things I have thrown out of my life in an attempt to be a better person:

1. No booze

2. No fag

3. No boys

p.s. This decision was taken 3 months back and believe me, haven't touched any till now.
