Durga's Random Thoughts.

The other day, -to be exact, yesterday- I was talking to a friend of mine and suddenly the topic went on to confessions and god and stuff like that. Well, as usual, I think a lot and come up with some observations that I thought I should record here. Confessions : Typically, the Christian confession to priest. My theory is that, when people did serious wrongs, they were restless and could not talk about it to others for the fear of being judged and isolated and given bad PR. So, the priests were the ideal ones. They were bound by oaths to not speak about it to anyone. They typically did the work of a counselor who gave an ear or two and some advice. Wrongs were righted and  people had peace of mind. There is nothing in the Bible about confessions. That is, if you accept it is the'original' version of all the Bibles in the world. My ideas against this practice :  What a priest thinks is wrong, may not be my wrong.  His set of rights may not suit...

New love, the beauty of the world unfolds. Stars shower in a starless night. A new sunshine warms your heart. Red seems more reddish, nights more romantic. New love, Hearts beat faster. Faces glow, bright and beautiful. Eyes speak, eloquent yet silent. Songs seem written and sung just for you. Life more enticing, Every day. And then, it wears off. You cry, Or he cries. Or both do. Or none. [Wow!] It goes on. And on. And then, Normal life ensues. People stop being Zombies. Normal life sets in. It goes on. And on. Till, New Love comes in. And like a dentist's appointment, you let it happen. Again and again. New loves, they are necessary evils. The evil that brings hope. Till THE one comes. Then somehow, it becomes the only one. Rest all are brushed off as crushes. Crushed in the leaves of life...

Long dragging melodious and sad songs interlace my playlist. Others are skipped. The world around me loses importance at times. This is one such time. I am sure life goes on for others even if I am not listening. My joy comes from the tree I just finished outside in the verandah for Christmas. It looks heavenly. My sadness or may be just a bit of a gloom, comes from may be the romantic vibes that I have been experiencing for the past some days. Not towards a person. Just feeling romantic. The sodium vapor lamps do that to me. So does Christmas and its windy charm. I stop listening. I love this. The gloom that comes with uncertainty. Uncertain life, emotions, behaviors, reactions... Some kind of a masochistic pleasure. This is what makes life interesting. And sad.

When you get your first job but have not joined yet, you are in the best part of your professional life. No tension about the acads. No tension of the professional life either. It is that golden period in between. :)

You cant miss this! And he is making it open source. Man, Respect!

Your tears are silver, the lips heaven tip. The heart that speaks a fervor, Words chocolaty dip. Lets hang out and hang about, till the sun goes down. Then lets go party and party till we fall down!

Acceptance is out of necessity for peace rather than understanding.

Failures create doubts in the minds of the fickle. Successes create overconfidence in the minds of the proud.

Too much of Facebook. It has become my second nature to search for like buttons.

Sometimes, I hate thoughts! They are so random, so very fleeting, that if you do not catch hold of the best and record them, they just vanish with a hint of having been there. Then you will have a constant nag in your mind wondering what it was. Just like now, for me. I don't remember the exact thought I had. I should have recorded it. The only thing I remember now is, it had a wonderful analogy of positioning, targeting and selling. I hate thoughts. They are SO nagging!

What nonsense?!! If they keep dividing India into smaller states for 'ease of development', why dont we just return the nation to all those 300 princes that ruled us long back? Better still, lets declare all the districts as states!! All these politicians are so blinded by selfishness and need for power that they do not see any sane sense! Outrageous!

A call from my Don and Diva in the early morning, reminding me that am their lovely princess and baby for the rest of our lives.. Yes, that's what makes my Children's day the happiest :) Happy Children's day to all those who are out there. There is a child trapped in every body. :)

You know one why a person turns out to be a workaholic? Cos he / she has nothing at home to return to.

While I was reading about inflation, the majorly affected items are food and related products. The decline in the production of agricultural sector is the main reason for this. No matter how much subsidy you provide, how much base rates you decide, unless a technology revolution comes up in the agri sector, the production is not going to pick up. In terms of agricultural contribution, the following states in India are the most developed states: Punjab Uttar Pradesh Madhya Pradesh Haryana Bihar Andhra Pradesh Maharashtra West Bengal Which means, the rice growing states are lagging behind in technology part of it. [Well, West Bengal produces rice but consumes most of it there itself.] This is exactly why the wheat eaters are not as affected as the rice eaters down south. I found the break up of effect in a major magazine I went through recently. It is not the supply that has gone up. Food is always a necessity. The growing population makes it evident that the demand is increasing. But th...

Yes, the namma metro [our metro] is finally here! The thing that attracted me the most is obviously the name. Namma Metro. Our Metro. Not just metro but our metro. Not your[public's] metro, but ours! The project has been in pipeline for 2 decades if you calculate the time from the conceptualization of the idea. The best part is, since I have personally experienced the traffic of Bangaluru, the best result I can imagine from this project is that the traffic will be unclogged. Since the service will take care of saving time, fuel and uncongesting roads, this sells by itself. But why was a branding done? For one, it brands Bangalore long term. And then, if you need an international standard [I do not know if it really meets the international standard - am yet to use it], you better brand it internationally. The internet savvy youngsters, who would surely 'google' the same, will find a well maintained official site with details about people [well, very good profiles that too],...

A soul mate is not someone like you. He is the jigsaw puzzle that looks nothing like you but together, you make a perfect picture!

I can look at the moon and see your face in there. I can count all the stars and it is all your goodness counted. I can sing with the birds and its all poems for you dear. I can mess with the morning and say, it is all for my lover. Then it is all day, thinking of you and our baby. This li'l thing growing, and wake you up glowing. I look at the moon now, I see your face in there. The baby is smiling and its a part of our life now.

My heart aches for you, The body whines. Like never before, Your kiss strangles me for breath Your name, gives a shock. I do not know what you have thought for us. But I know, it is not just you But me with you. Us, together. This life, its essence, I found it in you. Your shoulders, Your gentle eyes... I found peace and happiness in them. Your love, I never expected it to be so intense That it burns me. that it gives me a meaning for life. Lights up my heart and blooms my world. Nights, days, sleepless and restless. Twist, turn, close, open. Waiting for the day you will be mine. The day, not just our hearts, but our inner souls too will be together forever. will be together forever. Dedicated to one of those reader turned friend who still calls me Durga :) Thanks :)

Some times I wonder... [Well, I always do.] Why dont people give up? Even when they know it is a lost cause... Man is prey to what they call 'hope'. It keeps his heart beating. Some times, the hope in itself is a futile one. Yet, man lives for it. Mom hopes her challenged child will soon lead a normal life. A teen hopes to find true love. An entrepreneur, the right platform. And it goes on and on. 1 in 1000 succeed. And this inspires yet others and the chain continues. A Steve Jobs inspires a million to try. But how many in that million will actually succeed? Nobody really thinks of those facts. Everyone 'hopes' that it will all work out. I myself am prey to hopes about some incorrigible situations. Everybody is. Some times, things are too much that I break. I break like a bone under the truck. It hurts like hell and pieces never mend properly. But then, the eagle that never tried, never flew, A lot of people around me, I see are more talented than me. Some, way ...

Restlessness is not a sign of joblessness. It is a sign of abundance of energy.

Oh!!! This blog is a mess right now! Will soon do the tweaking.. :) Travelogue of my recent backpacking coming up! :)

Today I was contemplating on Leadership. And these are things that came to my mind in a flow. What makes one a leader? How does one become a leader? Is there any quality or qualities that set a born leader apart from the rest? So, here goes what I think! Some times, it also applies to good managers, who are also good leaders. Leaders know how to forge relationships and accomplish tasks. They are not exceptionally brilliant or overly gifted. They just know how to make maximum use of themselves and others to accomplish the given task. Let’s see what challenges a leader in today’s world has to face. Leaders have to be fast enough with the changing communication speeds and needs. The speed of communication has increased and one thing you say or do travels faster than you can imagine. Information creates more impact than ever before and hence any information that spreads like wildfire can create problem or can be good for the leader, depending on the way he deals with it. But since it is v...

I wonder how much work went into the planning phase of this building. Amazing! I do not know how wonderful I would have felt if I had been involved in it. :)

The Spring is here, valiant and bold. I conquered Winter. The ice cold minded Winter. I got the Sun up, melting his Ice away. Earth's heart warmed and bloomed. Flowers everywhere, leaves, little ones, all sprouting. Smells, nope. Fragrances. I asked the Wind to carry it around in bounty. I felt like a General, ordering his troops. To conquer Winter, the fat ugly dryad. He took a leap out of the window of the Seasons' Castle. Passed 15 days and hit the ground dead. I had conquered him. I declared - "Earth! Your Spring is here, valiant and bold. I have conquered Winter"

Dripping, the rain said hi to earth. Flowing, it merged itself to its love.  And they became one for eternity. Far far away, In the land of clouds, It was the sad tears of the sky. Lightning had struck its love. It was in mourning. And it mourned, For what seemed like eternity.

Paradox of Choice - Where too many alternatives lead to indecision

I am frustrated. At this world full of phonies who act all good to everyone, when their heart is full of hatred. The world full of hypocrites, who say one thing on face and go do something else behind the back. Those who show affection till they get their things done. Those who act friendly till they get what they want. At all those advice bugs who never care to follow their own damn advises. The world that never keeps its words. The world full of people who think only of themselves and their gains. The world filled with people who think they are the best. Well I know I am not perfect. I know I should not expect anything better from this place. I know these @553s were bulk ordered to earth. But then sometimes these 'fill in the blanks'es make me wonder if I am the one who is wrong and should give up! It is a sad sad day. I have had more than many of the above said experiences today. Damn! I am frustrated.

Decide the target group The more specific you are, the more ROI you would earn. A laptop user is less specific and more troublesome to work around than a laptop user, 18-25 gamer Decide what you are going to say The more focused you are, the more on the nail you hit things. To a techie, you do not need an introduction on cloud computing. Just go straight to the other details. But for a noob, it is extremely important to give information, introduction and further links about any new words or terms or ideas. Also, be sure why you are saying this. This will make you stay focused. Include some Action oriented information Say, an offer for limited period, a freebie if you bring the coupon. This increases awareness and people visit and become familiar with your store or product. WOM is something you can never miss out on. So, any amount of talks going around in the locality is good for you. Incidentally, I remember reading in a book titled " How to sell anything to anybody "  by Jo...

What made GEMS think that a panda would suit to be their mascot? It certainly is not a sweet bit done for the endangered species. Come on! When everything is calculated in ROIs? Or was it just a choice to suit their tagline? Am not really sure.. Actually I think the Ben10 toys attracted more kids to buy it than the panda tamasha.

If 60 people invest an hour a day for an idea, it will be 300 hours a week [considering a 5 day week] on a single idea. The pressure to work is low. Innovations are more a product of a spur of the moment. And lazy bums always find a shorter way to things. I believe work quality will be damn good. The results should be "awesomatic"!

I forgot I had a liver when I drank. Now I don’t have one. It forgot it had a me.

Sometimes, you count on some people. And then they prove you wrong.

They should start making break up cards. It’s very difficult these days to call up and say. :P

Am drunk. It is not a small decision. I think 20 times before I drink. But the answer always turns out to be a yes. And I drink nevertheless. [Not autobiographical.]

I see my daughter going out with the trimmer to the garden and getting a flower and sneaking out every day. One day suspicious whether she was meeting her beau daily, I followed her. After alleys and lanes, I found her in the cemetery, paying respects to my mom.

My friends had boyfriends. All of them. And I was single. And then, suddenly he came. “ Hi can I speak to you in private for some time?” My crush for a year came and asked me... “Of course yes!” ~ giggles from all around~ From all around. I was blushing. “Well, I wanted to ask you..” “Yes?” I looked at him enquiringly. “Well... Would you please introduce me to that friend of yours with long hair and a beautiful smile?” I still was blushing. But this time, it was a humiliated one.

Wandering, I wonder if I needed any of those days, I wander more than I ever did in my life. The distance kept increasing every moment. I swore. No, that is more than anyone could take. Singing like a banjara, I swore again. Well, must look like a lunatic. Like I care! I counted my steps. The steps spread out. Like a drunkard's. It was summer. Well, it was a summer like this that he left me. And so there goes this life. No no. I walked on. Swearing and singing. And then I fell down. I died. Well, I see myself lying on the roadside. People giving me disgusted lookS and walking away. I will probably rot and become the reason for some plants. It was none of my concern. That was just a carcass. Eaten by cannibals who didn’t care. My white form rose n floated on. I became a banjara in heaven.

There is one time where the first mover is at a disadvantage. When you are the first to rise prices. :P

It feels nice to walk under the sodium vapor lamps and drink cold chocolate. A walk in the dark. Yes, I donno if you remember, I love the dark. The darkness. It makes me feel good. Safe. I remembered moments.. Stories... That is exactly why I love my lonely time. It feels good to remember about yourself and chat to yourself. I sat on the kuttichuvaru as they have named it and thought about it. Some more months and I will be gone. I will miss this campus. Unlike the graduation days. I took a pic of the OAT. The abandoned and lighted up OAT. It is beautiful to be alone. Yes, I discovered I am an introvert a year ago. I know cos I never shut up, I am termed extroverted by most. But yeah, it was a self discovery that surprised even me. Anyway, the loneliness made me sing. Oops! Hum.. When was the last time I sang out loud? Ah yes. Today. When the roommie went for a bath. A walk to the church and some minutes spent there, priceless. I prefer empty churches. They are serene. They speak b...

And the other side of the coin is, you dont have much fat to burn in the bloody damn A/Cs!!! x-(

If you form a group or team to work in, get into something where every team member is better than you or if those are not available, with those that are lesser able than you. In the first case, you learn and get a lot of exposure. In the latter, you get to lead the pack and impart something good in the process. But if you choose those who are equally good, it is more difficult to remain professional as ego clashes are meant to happen. And all of them would be so married to their ideas that they would not divorce it for the sake of the team.

I see many enthusiastic juniors in the new batch and have decided to encourage them and support them in their work. If you are not the change, catalyze it!

The best part of being slim is, you dont have to give a damn of how many calories this chocolate packet has. Or that fried chicken would add to you! :D

Just an observation : People form impressions about you [or rather a product] in the first 4 minutes of meeting. If it does nt impress them in the first four minutes, its difficult to gain attention again.

So, someone asked me anonymously what my passion in life is. I mean, I do get a lot of anonymous inbox attendees dont I? :) Anyways, really, what was it? I donno. I do a lot of things. Mostly things I have a whim to do right then. One day I might be painting my heart out. The next day, you could see me writing stories and poems. The day after that could be singing day. Or business day. But I know it is none of my passions. In fact, I myself do not know what my passion is. It is 'myself' as my mom says and I suspect. I donno how much narcissism is healthy. You may feel I am overboard with it. But I think my biggest passion has always been me. Always doing what I LOVE most at that time... But as I always say, You cannot love anyone else or anything else, unless you love yourself. And definitely not more than you love yourself :)

Kung fu panda is a lot like Harry Potter. Evil comes, mom saves son. Old bearded fella tells him his 'destiny'. The predictions, marking the opponent... Well, aint the best Kung fu panda I saw yet.

Some people think that everybody is interested in their pics. Right from when they first dirtied a diaper, to when they first thought of killing an ant. So, when you go to their place even for five minutes, they make you sit on the sofa 'come-fort-numbly'. And goes inside. When they come back, you cant see their face. It will be hidden by a stack. A stack of albums. And then, they settle down right next to you on the sofa and dump the stack on your lap. And they wont let you go till you finish leafing through each AND every pic. And describe without fail why each face has that particular expression where and when and why and how it was taken what happened right after the pic was taken. why that particular pic should be made 'the photo of the week' by every newspaper in town. By the end of the stack, you will be tired of seeing all their maama maamis and chacha chaachis, cousins twice removed - whom honestly, I think, if you consider them your relatives, you shoul...

I dont remember the last time I wrote down my random thoughts.

The sexy son hypothesis states that females may initially choose a trait because it improves the survival of their young, but once this preference has become widespread, females must continue to choose the trait, even if it becomes harmful. Those that do not will have sons that are unattractive to most females (since the preference is widespread) and so receive few matings. Comment : - Probably that is why the moms and dads still make their sons run around for engineering degrees and MBBS. Well, these days, we also also the sexy daughter hypothesis. So, I combine and call it, sexy child hypothesis that seems to be true in most cases. PS - The original "sexy son hypothesis" is a real hypothesis and not something I made up. :P

If you cant define it, dont loosely use it.

Yes, she was the most beautiful thing ever for me. I know it sounds crazy. Because the way she looks is nothing but ordinary. You may not even notice her in a crowd of girls. But the way she is, it is just plain awesome. Her eyes look like that of a deer's. No, I am not joking. Ask anyone who knows her. I know a lot of guys have told  her so too.  [Pretty bold moves from those @#%$%!] It is their luck they never met me. Or I.. I.. Well, she is mine and just mine. Nobody has any right over her. Not even to compliment her. Her face is not that "beautiful" by most standards. But her smile, I wonder if there is anything more genuine than that. Anything more innocent. She smiles from her heart. I could go on and on about her. But right now.. Well right now, lemme call her. We had a date today. And I am eager to know how she felt being with me. Dialing her number, I listened for that very familiar caller tune. I felt so close to her when I heard it, I smiled to myself. My l...

I just realized I need 3 more years :)

This link is about arranged marriages . Well, yes, in a plane, that is how it works. And it is better you find love after you are sure you can be together, instead of be together and then lose love. :) Then, about mallus. It is well known that a northie can never have what they call the 'coconut filled' food of mallus. Here , is an answer to them. And yeah, accept it or not, we ARE coconut babies. And we will always be. And then, something that made me cry. About a woman who feels about what she is committed to. When you see this , you will know!

No, it is not about how many women a man has been with. But, how long he has been with that single one. :)

Little does a man know that his smile is creating a flutter in another heart. Little does a baby know, that the finger inside its hand feels the awesomest feeling in the whole world. Little do I know, what a small act of mine is doing to another.

Oh yes, the world of Indians is buzzing with the Godman news. The place is buzzing with memoirs and stories. One lady even died of a heart attack when she heard about this, in Bengalluru. I am a skeptic. About Godmen in general. In fact, about God in its widely accepted form. And yeah, men in general again. So, talking about Godmen, an official two day mourning in the state is very uncalled for. Wonder when someone like Anna Hazare passes away, even an hour of official mourning would be there! And about him passing away on Easter, that man was on ventilator and support systems for some time now. Anybody who cared and knew he would go once the systems were disconnected, would want to remove it on the next best day to be in news. I feel its just a plan by one of his devotees and next in line to have more of 'aura' around the death. And talking about his miracles, these videos should be able to throw some light.  http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sai+baba+exposed...

I keep going back to nothing, like a spandex is stuck on me. Not that I know what one is, but it is just a rebounce and bounce. No crying, no regrets, half way through, no guilt either. This is why they say, do nothing, but play. Sure enough one day, one will stick like a spandex. Probably replace the one you have. Until then, keep trying. The spandex is not old. Neither are you. Not that I know what either a spandex is, or me.

I wrote my first post as myself in my college's unofficial blog. The new avatar for that blog, "Pandora" has taken birth. I am the first lady to be on the author's list. And, started off with a small controversy which makes me giggle every time I think of it. Go check the maiden post by me, as me. Special mention about the comments. That is what makes me giggle at someone's frustration. Go check out. :) Pandora's Box

I never knew I would use a GPS to navigate around a city. Well, I did that today. Not exactly around a city, but a max of 500 meters. Well, it is a lot to me. I lost my way only once! Yay! So either ways, I got to know that there are no shops that sell things I need anywhere in the 500 meter radius of my hostel. Or office. And I don’t really know if I made a complete real good circle around either of them. You know actually the GPS kept beeping every once in a while cos I went off the tangent... Speaking of which, I am pretty down these days with not many people around to blabber to while am free. Except for a dummy who smses me a 100+ times in a day asking me if I had food or went to pee pee first! [OK, kidding!] [PS- Only the second part though!] I called him a dummy, told him its outrageous to bug me like that, but naaah.. He won’t get it. Dummy exactly! I have to clean my inbox like once in a day in the fear of not losing speed. In a serious note, I kinda got dressed up and was...

The other day, I was walking back from college. We, I and my friend, had reached the main road outside. On the way, we met 4 guys from my batch. Well, as anywhere, there will be bad apples and good apples in a basket of 'em. They were considered bad by most. I donno cos I have only heard of their 'baddisms' and am not really in close encounters with them. Except for them teasing me with something or other once a while- in a normal way- So, then, who am I to judge? And they were smoking. While I passed they kept calling me back. We kept walking. [My friend had to go buy her medicines so I just hung around a bit farther.] After sometime, I thought, WTH, I ll just go back and talk to them. I go talk to them and well, they behaved their 'normal' except for me taking the cigarette out from one of the ones-who-talked-to-me's mouth and told him "you ll smoke after we talk." And somehow, he was ok with it.. Some time later, I said my byes and started walking ...

"my boyfriend wakes me up at night" < Search of this phrase has lead to my blog. Not once, but many times. God knows why! I have never written about a boy friend who wakes me up at night..

There are two impossible smells in Chennai. The smell of the roads. The damn dirty roads smell like "god-knows-what" all the time. People litter, sh*t, pee, spit and what not, right on the road. I some times wonder why I carry the litter around till I find a dust bin. I should also be throwing things around. The smell of their temples. God! It is so awesome, I feel its heaven. Our temples back at kerala also use sandal, ash and holy water. But never give out this smell. I always start breathing like a maniac when I near a temple here. It is just heavenly. Wonder how the same people can dirty the roads like that and keep the temples like this!

I had spicey food, just to see if I am alright. And the stomach ache killed me. Thanks to a friend and her medicine, I was saved. I really thought I would die again. Dammit man, we need some ointments for bruises and scratches inside the body, so that they heal when we consume them. "Edible Ointment" Eat it and Forget it! 

It has been a long oblong time since I thought about spirituality. Today, I again was lead to it by something. Anyways, mom had already put a rosary around my neck before coming and threatened me that she ll murder me if I remove it. So much for which won, love or rebellion. I remember the days I used to rebel. Well, religion and spirituality still does not go hand in hand for me. But still I feel, it has some connections in the most primate forms. As I was asking someone the other day, if god has ego, I dont like him. If he does not, then why does he insist on prayers to bless us? Why so much misery in the world? Was it that person's fault he was born into such a family? Or blind? Well, the answers I have received, be it from Gita or Bible, does not make any sense to me and I dont know if Khuran mentions it. If someone sinned in the past life, he should be punished in that life and not now. If it is the ancestors' fault, they should be punished. Not an unaware baby. Anyways,...

I only want to be that smile that comes to your lips when you think about the times we spent together. :) :)

Woman's day. Yeah, in the morning, I found roommies wearing pink and red and discussing cakes and then remembered. It is woman's day. But seriously, do we do justice by keeping a single day for women? Another of Archies' tactics probably. But still, for what a woman does in the sphere of her influence, can not be jammed into a single day. Lemme take my mom. She manages the house work by the time she leaves home for her office and since it is a managerial position she holds, so there too she has a lot of responsibilities and power. She manages that and comes back and has time to be with us, her babies, talk to us about the day, share her day and give us an integral part of life, a mother's love. Then she again manages dad [which is almost like managing a kid - all guys are intrinsically kids I feel and they love being so- ] and the house work. If anyone learns management, they should first do it from their moms. Managing the food when there is not enough, finances o...

Well, if there is something I crib about all the time now, its food. Dosa in the morning - twice - without anything that tastes remotely spicy. Curd rice in the noon from wherever I can get it. Lays in between. - OK, dont temme I cant eat it. Cos I can. And I will. :-| - Night is the problem. I dont find anything I can stick to. Thought I ll cook and eat porridge. But then, I am a lazy bum and it happens only once a while. So I have the bleddy hostel food and shut up. The other day, I had a huge craving for chocolates and didnt know if it was heavy and could bring on a relapse. So many treats were missed on account of my food control. So many chocolates handed back to the owners. I wonder how many of them had stomach upset after I left.. :P I always feel like eating something now. Heard typhi -sounds like my pet dog, does it not?!- makes you perpetually hungry. With only so much of choices, I keep eating the same things like a stuck tape recorder. At other times, I just keep looking ...

That is, without the sche'duel'led surprises. :P Good news, along with being a shocking one, is that the RSM prof was the one who took my return most sweetly -I should say by his usual standards-. "Ya ya I know. How are you now? Still on diet? Be careful. It is good to have you back in class!" I was like, "WTF" I thought you didnt even know that a human being like me attended your classes.. And thus ended that scary movie for me. I revisited a blog. A controversial one. Finally, she has realized, a lot of things you do in the heat of youth wont last long. Anyways, happy that my views were not wrong about life. :) Rood Food Eating is one of the things I love and something I s...

Warning : This post contains swear words that I have used to my heart's content. If you are sensitive to them, dont read further. Otherwise, continue. Not that it would interest you much. Still... The seriousness of whatever has happened hit me just now. Missed exams, presentations, group formings and classes. Cant find good enough swear words to fill up the gaps between full stops and the following sentences. And here I am, helpless but wanting to do something to get back all what I have missed.  Anyways, I learnt a lot of things in these 2 weeks. First was what I learnt from the 'kutty' business I did. For the time being, let that gyan be with me. I mean, I lost 500+ monies and my damn health to learn that stuff. Some things they never teach in an MBA class. മലയാളത്തില്‍ പറഞ്ഞാല്‍, അങ്ങനിപ്പോ ചുളുവില്‍ പഠിക്കണ്ട! :P The kutty business, gave me a 400% return. Which, sadly I had to reinvest as health money. My health was useless by the time I got done with my part of the ...

For a quarter decade, the guy runs behind Aishwarya Rai. Then he gets married to his! :P

I wanna be beautiful, my girl just told me so. "I wanna be so charming that, the world stops spinning forth." I love you lady, My beloved baby, If that does not make you precious, Nothing else will, ever Delicious!

Unwell. Mental is more detrimental.

If God created man in his image, why do you and I look so very different?

Dont have fun with people who play to win.

There are two types of people in the world. The ones with information and the ones without.

This is for those people who just got out of a relationship. Or in hopeless relationships either because of chicken partners or cause of something or the other. So, the strategy is, see the better side. Like, you learned a hell lot. No, don’t temme you didn’t. You at least learned what not to look for in a guy. Or when not to trust a gal. When to see a red signal... Plus, you had some really good moments with that person. May be that person turned out to be a real time a$$hole. But again, see the better side, you didn’t get stuck with an a$$hole the whole of your life.. And trust me, you have someone better waiting out there for you! No, I am not doing a cliche’. It is the truth. Someone with the guts to hold your hand for life is out there. And certainly that person is better than the one who does not! Next, let’s get into the scenario where it is just caste and creed that makes you lose that person. Ok, question. Will that person stay with you when life ahead proves trying, if that ...

Life is like a beautiful sunrise. The rise is awesome. Heat in the noon is unbearable. And then we relax in the dusk. In the mean time, I wonder if anyone notices the flowers on the side....

The other day, someone was telling me to write a post on love. Now, why would I write one on love? Just like the other posts. Randomly. So, whats love? God knows. As in, they say it is this. But is it this? I googled 'what is love?'. Is it what takes all your pain away? I dont think so. Love could be pain too. Sometimes, a pain in the bum. Is it - like Mark Twain said- an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired? Well, not always. Like when you are on a down turn, you dont want to be desired. You just need a bit of a company. I think love is knowing that that person would be with you and hold your hand when you need it most. Know your thoughts when you cant speak. Know your heartbeat, when you cry. And could be dumb enough to crack stupid jokes that makes you laugh at unexpected times. He could be the stupidest idiot at times just to see your smile. I believe love is just an extension of friendship. I once had a bet with someone "A guy and a gal can never b...

Sometimes I wish I finished living and passed on to the next level. Life is like a computer game. You know, you get troubles, you get other things.. You get bonus points, you get levels, promotions... And one day, you complete one grand level and you pass on to the next. Wonder what is up there.. Or down... In the next level. You know, I think we should not call dead people dead. It gives a negative connotation. Probably we should stick to 'passing away'. To a new grand level. Or world. :)

Akhil Chandra Sen wrote this letter to the Sahibganj divisional railway office in 1909. It is on display at the Railway Museum in New Delhi. It was also reproduced under the caption “Travelers' Tales" in the Far Eastern Economic Review. "I am arrive by passenger train Ahmedpur station and my belly is too much swelling with jackfruit. I am therefore went to privy. Just I doing the nuisance that guard making whistle blow for train to go off and I am running with lotah in one hand and dhoti in the next when I am fall over and expose all my shocking to man and female women on platform. I am got leaved at Ahmedpur station. This too much bad, if passenger go to make dung that dam guard not wait train five minutes for him. I am therefore pray your honor to make big fine on that guard for public sake. Otherwise I am making big report to papers." Any guesses why this letter was of historic value? It apparently led to introduction of toilets in trains.

I know people who refresh cricinfo :P

I have too many aunties now... Oops! Anti-biotics now!

I can see those eyes, staring into me.. when was the last time, I saw it for real? I can see your smile, all happy to have me. When was the last time, I saw your blush for real? Is it right, asking for more? Is it just a plain ordeal? How long? How long will this be? Like this. Where we are just you and me? You, you and Me, me? Its plain a pain, to not have you here and on top if it, you dont see my tear. I get jealous, I get pretentious, just so I dont, hurt you my dear. Have it your way, or lets have it my own, its all about feeling, good, so you know...

So, there was this time I hated people for sending me farmville requests and posting on my wall about their farmville stuff. I mean, you have to clean your profile and wall like a trash bin every day cos people send you requests. Every day, "Bubilidubilidoo sent you a request on farmville." I dont want the hell of this thing on my profile, I would scream out in desperation. And I even joined a community called "I dont care about your farm, or your fish, or your park, or your mafia!!!" I even used to bitch about this to my friends. And put it on ignore. Now then, one day, I thought, what the hell, if everyone likes it, there must be something... I 'unignored' the application and loaded it. I started planting. I mean, I love plants. Seeing it being done virtually was ironic cos the best part of being a gardener or planter is that you get to play with mud and water. ;) And then, my plants started growing.. I enjoyed it. But I still didnt like people pos...

Some people are a big pain in the a$$ that you ignore them totally, even if they dance naked in front of you. BTW, even that would be a pain in the bum if you ask me, their dancing.

Yesterday was a good day. :) Oh well, it was a flood of good news.. And one jackpot. Ha! Jackpot being a confirmation on something I have been waiting for. Another was a legacy, being proposed to be passed on. Well, in course of time probably I ll tell you. Another one, that some people whom I didnt think are still reading my blog, said they are and that they have recommended it to some others. Well, all those anon readers, thanks :) For saying you loved this. For a week, yours truly is suffering from bouts of cough which is troubling her sleep and making her nights horrible. Yesterday, I slept at 2.30 cos of the damn cough. Somehow the flow of good news went on till night that until then I didnt have time to worry about my cough. Coming to tidbits of my life, there is a "kyat" in my hostel. It is a bit old and is a pet who [note it, its not 'which'] decides it sits on chairs like people do. It somehow has this notion that it is a "kyat's" right. I...

Yeah yet another argument you cant travel in  time. This time I am pretty sure I am right. Well, traveling at the speed of light would not take you back in time. Why? Why because, as you travel faster than light, you see the light that was sent as much time before as the speed increases. But, you only see an image of the place or person. The time has actually passed and you cant take it back. It is like rewinding a video. You cant touch feel or talk to them. You can only see how it was before it happened. Probably you can use it to solve crimes. But as it goes further into past, the speed would have to increase at the same rate making it more difficult to see back in time. And probably, just a probably, since the light has already left the reflective source long back, when we travel faster, after the initial ability to see the past, when no more light is left, we will just see darkness. I ll tell you how. We travel faster than light towards an object to see how it was befo...
