VJ=3

2012-01-26T01:33:00.002+05:30

This goes out to this special lady in my life called VJ..she is a star and a class apart..and I must say I have been impressed thoroughly..was not love at first sight but somehow destiny has conspired for us to get together..so it has been all good till now..and I hope its a happily ever after as well..

Well I don't believe in numerology, but I do like numbers..simple facts..our DOB are march and June.both multiple of 3..our day of birth is 9 and 30 ..multiples of 3 again..i find her beautiful like Penelope cruz who was the youngest amongst her siblings and the third one like VJ..i nickname VJ as Viru which is nickname of Virendra Sehwag who is again the youngest and the third child of his parents..

Did I ever tell myself how lucky I am

2012-01-26T01:26:00.000+05:30

I am from IITDelhi and we(IITians ) have a peculiar habit ..we are never satisfied ..and I speak with authority for most of our breed..The day we are born, we get this thing which we call in hindi as CHUL..we are restless..always going for the better thing( which is good in a way)..Grass is greener on the other side..we always see it green..i think there is some thing embedded in our eyes only..

anyways I came across this wonderful children's poem..."Did I ever tell you how lucky you are " or should I say "Did I ever tell myself how Lucky I am"..it goes out to all those unsatisfied people like me..:)

When I was quite young
and quite small for my size,
I met an old man in the desert of Drize.
And he sang me a song I will never forget.
At least, well, I haven’t forgotten it yet.

He sat in a terribly prickly place.
But he sang with a sunny sweet smile on his face.

When you think things are bad,
when you feel sour and blue,
when you start to get mad…
you should do what I do!

Just tell yourself, Duckie,
you’re really quite lucky!
Some people are much more…
oh, ever so much more…
oh, muchly much-much more
unlucky than you!

Be glad you don’t work on the Bunglebung Bridge
that they’re building across Boober Bay at Bumm Ridge.

It’s a troublesome world. All the people who’re in it
are troubled with troubles almost every minute.
You ought to be thankful, a whole heaping lot,
for the places and people you’re lucky you’re not!

Just suppose for example,
you lived in Ga-Zayt
and got caught in the traffic
on Zaty Highway Eight!

Or suppose,
just for instance,
you lived in Ga-Zair
with your bedroom up here
and your bathroom up THERE!

Suppose, just suppose, you were poor Herbie Hart,
who has taken his Throm-dim-bu-lator apart!
He never will get it together, I’m sure.
He never will know if the Gick or the Goor
fits into the Skrux or the Snux or the Snoor.
Yes, Duckie, you’re lucky you’re not Herbie Hart
who has taken his Throm-dim-bu-lator apart!

Think they work you too hard…?
Think of poor Ali Sard!
He has to mow grass in his uncle’s back yard
and it’s quick-growing grass
and it grows as he mows it.
The faster he mows it, the faster he grows it.
And all that his stingy old uncle will pay
for his shoving that mower around in the hay
is the piffulous pay of two Dooklas a day.
And Ali can’t live on such piffulous pay!

SO…

He has to paint flagpoles
on Sundays in Grooz.
How lucky you are
you don’t live in his shoes!

And poor Mr. Bix!
Every morning at six,
poor Mr. Bix has his Borfin to fix!

It doesn’t seem fair. It just doesn’t seem right,
but his Borfin just seems to go shlump every night.
It shlumps in a heap, sadly needing repair.
Bix figures it’s due to the local night air.

It takes him all day to un-shlump it.
And then…
the night air comes back
and it shlumps once again!

So don’t you feel blue. Don’t get down in the dumps.
You’re lucky you don’t have a Borfin with shlumps.

And, while we are at it, consider the Schlottz,
the Crumple-horn, Web-footed, Green-bearded Schlottz,
whose tail is entailed with un-solvable knots.

If he isn’t muchly
more worse off than you,
I’ll eat my umbrella.
That’s just what I’ll do.

And you’re lucky, indeed, you don’t ride a camel.
To ride on a camel, you sit on a wamel.
A wamel, you know, is a sort of a saddle
held on by a button that’s known as a faddle.
And, boy! If your old wamel-faddle gets loose,
I’m telling you, Duckie, you’re gone like a goose.

And poor Mr. Potter,
T-crosser,
I-dotter.
He has to cross t’s
and he has to dot i’s
in an I-and-T factory
out in Van Nuys!

Oh, the jobs people work at!
Out west, near Hawtch-Hawtch,
there’s a Hawtch-Hawtcher Bee-Watcher.
His job is to watch…
is to keep both his eyes on the lazy town bee.
A bee that is watched will work harder, you see.

Well…he watched and he watched.
But, in spite of his watch,
that bee didn’t work any harder. Not Mawtch.

So somebody said,
“Our old-bee-watching man
just isn’t bee-watching as hard as he can.
He ought to be watched by another Hawtch-Hawtcher!
The thing that we need
is a Bee-Watcher-Watcher!”

WELL…

The Bee-Watcher-Watcher watched the Bee-Watcher.
He didn’t watch well. So another Hawtch-Hawtcher
had to come in as a Watch-Watcher-Watcher!
And today all the Hawtchers who live in Hawtch-Hawtch
are watching on Watch-Watcher-Watchering-Watch,
Watch-Watching the Watcher who’s watching the bee.
You’re not a Hawtch-Watcher. You’re lucky, you see!

And how fortunate you’re not Professor de Breeze
who has spent the past thirty-two years, if you please,
Trying to teach Irish ducks how to read Jivvanese.

And think of the
poor puffing Poogle-Horn Players,
who have to parade
down the Poogle-Horn Stairs
every morning to wake up
the Prince of Poo-Boken.
It’s awful how often
their poogles get broken!

And, oh! Just suppose
you were poor Harry Haddow.
Try as he will
he can’t make any shadow!

He thinks that, perhaps, something’s wrong with his Gizz.
And I think that, by golly, there probably is.

And the Brothers Ba-zoo.
The poor Brothers Ba-zoo!
Suppose your hair grew
like theirs happened to do!
You think your unlucky…?
I’m telling you, Duckie,
some people are muchly,
oh, ever so muchly,
muchly more-more-more unlucky than you!

And suppose that you lived in that forest in France,
where the average young person just hasn’t a chance
to escape from the perilous pants-eating-plants!
But your pants are safe! you’re a fortunate guy.
And you ought to be shouting, “How lucky am I!”

And , speaking of plants,
you should be greatly glad-ish
you’re not Farmer Falkenberg’s
seventeenth radish.

And you’re so, so lucky
you’re not Gucky Gown,
who lives by himself
ninety miles out of town,
in the Ruins of Ronk.
Ronk is rather run-down.

And you’re so, so, So lucky
you’re not a left sock,
left behind by mistake
in the Kaverns of Krock!

Thank goodness for all of the things you are not!
Thank goodness you’re not something someone forgot,
and left all alone in some punkerish place
like a rusty tin coat hanger handing in space.

That’s why I say, “Duckie!
Don’t grumble! Don’t stew!
Some critters are much-much,
oh, ever so much-much,
so muchly much-much more unlucky than you!”

—Dr. Seuss

Heart Broken

2010-11-21T22:24:00.002+05:30

Heart Broken...For the first time in my life I have broken sm1's heart so badly and have had mine broken even more badly...I feel depressed...i am already having those symptoms....dont feel like doing a thing even...

love @maths

2010-07-15T10:39:00.008+05:30

Some one has written:

Math tells us of the 3 saddest love stories:
Of parallel lines, who were never meant to meet.
Of tangent lines, who were together once but then parted forever.
And of asymptotes, who could only get closer and closer, but could never be together...

concentric circles!!!
its just diameter which crosses the center - happy ending :-)

and there are the lines in different planes which will always have a same shortest distance maintained for life....what we call the friend's zone :)

Another one <>
Expected versus Actual Value of Love verus Time

Expected Value function y = logx where y = love & x = time

Actual value function is lognormal function with asymptotic curve leading to '0'. "

heartbreakers

2010-06-13T21:40:00.005+05:30

I am a terribly distracted guy...I dont know why....but its in the structure of my genes...
anyways..was talking to a friend..and were generally talking about how airport terminals have separate terminals for arrivals and departures...atleast in whichever ones we have been too..
The theory is that the 30,000 heartbreakers that arrive in the city dont see the 30,000 heartbreakers leaving this city.......Me I guess still want to hang in here..

Another conversation with a friend...
Friend:: Do you ever feel you've become the worst version of yourself? That a Pandora's box of all the secret, hateful parts - your arrogance, your spite, your condescension - has sprung open? Someone upsets you and instead of smiling and walking away, you zing them? "Hello, it's Mr Nasty." I'm sure you have no idea what I'm talking about..
Me:: No, I know exactly what you mean, and I'm completely jealous. What happens to me when I'm provoked is that I get tongue-tied and my mind goes blank. Then I spend all night tossing and turning trying to figure out what I should have said. What should I have said, for example, to a person who recently belittled my existence?
Friend:: But then, on the other hand, I must warn you that when you finally have the pleasure of saying the thing you mean to say at the moment you mean to say it, remorse inevitably follows.

war time

2010-06-09T09:59:00.007+05:30

I have always had a fascination with wars..World War I and WW II ...when people said that there will be world war III in 1999 (as predicted by Nostradamus), i was very happy.We will be able to watch the war live on TV..
i have been reading a lot of quotes on wars of late...the best that I have liked are...."there shall be peace even we have to fight for it"..I found an interesting blog...diary of a white indian housewife....the girl is a damsel i have to agree...on all counts..gives a very new perspective as the name suggest....this is turning into a nightmarish blogging..random thoughts .....well today i am supporting germany ....my favorite country besides Spain..and Argentina(only because of Messi and the lovely girls that originate in the south-american country...)
whateve...

saw the sweetest thing today.....

2010-05-30T00:09:00.002+05:30

Well i have been talking a lot about what i have been dreaming off late..i initially meant to write one again here..but have kind of forgotten it right now..this one was bad one though..and it completed..

sweetest thing is the movie..i will just log off..now..
listening to Noise by tokio hotel ...and memories by david guetta these days

Keep Dreaming...

2010-05-26T09:27:00.002+05:30

well i just had an awesome dream ..basically nightmare..i thought i should write it down before I forget..
well me and my friends are stuck in some kind of cave/dark cell..we are all mighty scared..there is an opening and but such scary noises are coming over there that we cannot even dare to go that side...then 2 of us i.e. me and ashish finally decide to act a little courageous and try to find a way out...We do not know if this will be foolishness or bravery..then when we reach there..we see there is a bar which is blocking the way and loud noise is coming from the tip which is tied down....we imagine that it will be dangerous to cross it...since maybe there is some kind of force field which will blow us apart if we try to cross..and beyond the bar we can see an open jungle/green area kinds..
and a jeep waiting just outside the cave..then out of a rush of blood...I jump the bar ..and wow..nothing happens...i run to the jeep and ask ashish also to come over...we will be free..woow...
he jumps ..i start the jeep with a big whirl...and off we go...but then suddenly both of realize that something is seriously wrong....we donot see anyone outside..IS THIS A TRAP?? then as we go on the road ahead..we see zombies..and mummies..and scary creatures..we try to dodge them...then there is a whole army of those..scary..ugly...horrifying...
and my dreams just ends there..
well i am looking forward to the movie...Prince of Persia..reminds of childhood days when we used to play that game...

broodish

2010-05-25T23:04:00.002+05:30

well i have not been broodish in more than a year now..i think its about time that i give in..i am closing in on a 25th birthday and i know what a quarter life crisis means in full blow.. its also been delayed by the fact that my song collection has very few sad /slow songs..but I am almost on my limits now..i just google and came to know that there is no word like broodish...brood is there and brooding is there...but you get my mood right..
god save my soul...I need some serious motivation right now...
i will go to sleep now..

Bas itna sa khwab hai

2010-05-19T23:19:00.004+05:30

ok...first the title..its taken frm a PYT's status on gtalk..and why bas itna sa khwaab...I will explain that later
now the blog...I have been having kind of weird dreams of late..in the latest one my family that includes my mom ,sister and me are taken by FBI on a secret mission ..kinda of super cool..right...weird in the sense that why they did not take my dad..I can think of some conspiracy theory on that..If any one of you has seen Alias on Axn (I have always had a thing for Sydney Bristow aka Jennifer Garner...man she is so smart and hot..)then they would know that maybe my dad is working for FBI or better still double crossing them by working with the Neo-KGB aka Russian network...now why the dream/khwaab is bas itna sa..because I donot remember what happens after that..I am looking for answers ..because the Truth is Out there..:P(just trying to be cheeky here.)

I ,Me,Myself

2010-05-06T22:43:00.004+05:30

This is again going to be jst a meaningless juxtaposition of random thoughts..I have yet to decide what the title should be ..But we should be able to work it out by the end of it..
I was just wondering how animals and humans are different..Animals just need one set of voice/vocal noise to say what they want..Dogs just bark .......Similarly Cats need a meow..and its superior in the Cat family(Lion/Tiger) just need to roar..and it all the permutations are able to convey a vast majority of meaning.( hunt that cat in a pack,Let's all fly south now!" or "Tiger on the prowl! Form an orderly stampede!)
on the other end of it..humans use a vast, seemingly infinite array of utterances to convey just one meaning: "Me! Me! Look at me! I am important! My opinions matter!
whatever..I have got the title now..which I have put it there..ciao

Information OVERLOAD

2010-05-02T15:27:00.007+05:30

Well..the question is how much can we keep in our head..
To put it another way..I am saying that I have a very good memory ...Well I was aware of this condition a few years back when I was studying but I had been able to keep it down until about the start of this year...you know how people say that I can forgive but cant forget..It is literally true in my case..I seem to remember even the minutest of things..and not only of a little time back..but from my very existence..and I seem to be getting a little hopeless in this regard..and desperate too..Its not only when I meet people but also in my dreams..Its beginning to haunt me now..Sometimes it looks like I don't have a life probably or don't have many things happening for me so I seem to remember tidbits things too..I think there should be some medical condition for this ..I am sick I think..I already had a hyperactive/restlessness syndrome..then I seem to be happy for mostly no reasons(Serotonin hormone is one explanation)..and now this memory condition too..
Now I want to say that I don't remember the song I have been listening too..but I can't help
I am listening to to a lot of trance and a Plushgun-Just Impolite

wonder years

2010-04-25T02:30:00.003+05:30

vous rencontrer à nouveau

2010-03-29T10:47:00.002+05:30

I meet you over and over again.Just when I start to think I am getting over you,we meet again..and though u pretend to be different you still are the same...so when do we stop meeting/talking to actually resolve this thing..i cant turn off my feelings like a switch..will alwayz be ur admirer no matter what..what should i do to probably escape this thing..this thing I end up doing for you...with you ..Next time i meet you probably in the next life..lets make this very clear frm thee outset ..you knw jst cut to the chase...there is no need to be formal..we have met now.so we donnt hav to strt all over again..jst take it from here..and keep it really clear fr me.so that i dont waste myself pondering and probably writing again in my next life..lets decide from the very outset what we will do if the course of events end up being the same..and lets just soften the blows..or we can jst decide it before hand that we wont waste so much of our emotional energy on being just Friends..or as you say best friends..but i still think it will alwayz be the same..you will alwayz be this charming...and I will alwayz be an easy prey for you..
for those of you who dont knw what the title means:"Meeting you again"

Black and white

2010-02-28T21:49:00.004+05:30

well i have not as yet decided the topic of this blog..well smthing came up to my mind a few dayz back...I dont knw if i have mentioned it before or not bt I am a Gemini..So a typical two-face with mood swings ..mood swings is smthing i have been able to restrict for quite smtime..bt two-facedness has become a self-fulfilling prohecy to me..I act as I deem fit and as I wish..a friend pointed out to me being too philosophical..Bt i luv philosophy ..the way it jst makes things remain grey and the fact tht u cant really tell the answer to everything...Though I alwayz want clarity and things to be black and white...The best thing about my job is tht the performance is all white and black..there is nothing right and nothing wrong..u can see watever u do in front of you...
i think i will jst put the title as black and white..

2009-09-23T00:36:00.002+05:30

1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?

First of all I know she won't but hypothetically speaking, I guess I would forgive her and assume that there was something missing in my love that made her go search for it somewhere else.

2. If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?

I had always dreamed and prayed to God of settling abroad with someone I really love, be famous and powerful and be happy with my life. I dont knw if still want to settle abroad...bt rest, I want yes all the time..

3. Whose butt would you like to kick?

Nobody's. I am not a violent person at all and I don't keep grudges against anyone no matter what they have done to me. Forgive and you will be forgiven says my God and I believe in it strongly.I used to keep grudges..bt i stopped doing tht long time back..i say watever i want to there and then nowadayz...

Matthew 6:14-15 - "If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins."

4. Why do you blog?

Well, I started the blog for a reason but now I blog for a completely different reason. The original reason is irrelevant now. But now, I blog because I love to share what I feel and experience with other people. And I love it when others can relate or not relate to it.

5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?

Hmm. No. She thought she loved me and somehow convinced me that we were meant to be. But when we kissed for the first time it was yuck. I knew and she knew that it wasn't love. hehe. We are again best friends now and she is happily committed to someone else and so am I. :)

6. Which is more blessed : loving someone or being loved by someone?

I believe loving someone is more blessed because it is harder to give than to take.

1 John 4:16 - "...God is love. Whoever lives in love, lives in God and God in him."

7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you love?

I thought I would have to wait forever to find her but I am glad I didn't have to. 's hard but the scripture that keeps me strong is in 1 Corinthians 13.

1 Corinthians 13 - "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

8. If the person you secretly like is attached, what would you do?

I had thought about it a lot before actually meeting her and it scared me a lot. I knew I wouldn't be able to dissolve my feelings easily. But thank God, she was single too when we met. If I would have been just one more day late or early, things could have been quite different now. But God's timing is perfect. Both of us are glad we trusted in Him and did not take decisions ourselves.

Proverbs 3:5 - "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and do not depend on your own understanding."

9. If you could root for one special cause, what would it be?

It's something different. "Salvation for all." because I think this is all that matters in life. To know how to contribute, see John 3:16.

John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

10. What takes you down the fastest?

I once rode this roller coaster that had a 1000 feet drop in .42 seconds. I think that was what took me down the fastest.

Okay, seriously I don't like people who 'use' God. I have seen many people come to us for prayer for different reasons and when they get it, they never come back. Seek God for what He is, not for what He can give and when you do, He will give you what you want anyway but it will be so much better.

Matthew 6:33 - "But seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

11. What resurrects you the fastest?

Whenever she comes online on msn. I might even be dead but hearing that *ding* sound will actually resurrect me! :D

12. What's your fear?

I used to keep having different fears. There was a time I was afraid of death because I was not sure what would happen after that. Then I had a stupid fear that suddenly everyone would stop loving me and a few more. Then recently I had this fear of losing her because the way we met was too good to be true. But then God made me remember the verse 1 John 4:18 which says "There is no fear in love. Perfect love casts out fear..." And I haven't feared ever since.

1 John 4:18 - "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

13. What kind of person do you think the one who tagged you is?

I know pj was a very different person when we first met, but now she is this always happy, positive kinda person who has learnt to make God a part of her every aspect of life. And her journey with God started from my blog and that makes me happy. She is a bit too shy but she has a pure heart and God sees the heart. I'm sure God has wonderful things in store for her. You guys should ask her. It's a wonderful story.

14. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?

Married and poor anytime.I can work hard and earn money to keep us going but can't work hard and earn love!

15. What's the first think you do when you get up?

Say the Lord's name and thank Him for everything that I have or don't have.

16. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously who will you pick?

I don't think that is possible because love isn't that easy a thing that you can share with two. You will always always love one more than the other. And so I will choose the one I love more.

17. Would you give all in a relationship?

If I am in the right one which I am, yes and much more.

18. Would you forgive and forget someone no matter how horrible a thing he/she has done?

Again, I am not the kind of person who keeps grudges. I have gone through things that if someone else had gone through would probably have murdered the person. But as I said, my God expects of me to forgive and so I do. Also I don;t judge either as to why someone did what they did or what kind of a person that makes them.

Matthew 7:1 - "Stop judging so that you will not be judged."

19. Do you prefer being single or in a relationship?

I am glad I am in a relationship. It makes me feel complete.

Genesis 2:19-24 - "The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said,"This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman, for she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh."

1. Who are you?
2. Are we friends?
3.Something I have and you want?
4.Give me a nick name and explain why you picked it.
5.Describe me in one word.
6.What was your first impression of me?
7.Do you still think that way about me now?
8.What reminds you of me?
9.If you could ever give me one thing, what would it be?
10.How well do you know me?
11.How do you see me in the future?
12. Something you wanted to tell me but couldn't.
13.Are you going to put this on your blog to see what I say about you?

Phi - the golden mean

2009-08-15T00:14:00.003+05:30

As the unofficial governing body that oversees celebrations of the golden mean (0.618) on Phi Day, Elliott Wave International have a bit of a conundrum on thier hands. You see, it's easy to think of June 18 (6-18) as the best day to celebrate the golden ratio, which is also known as the Greek letter 'phi' (pronounced 'fie'). But there's another day that actually marks the ratio even better.

That day is August 14, because it falls proportionally at 0.618 of the time from January 1 to December 31. (Here's the math: 0.618 of 365 days = 225. 57 days. There are 212 days in the first seven months of the year, which leaves 13.57 or, rounding up, 14 more days, which takes us to August 14.)

Now why alll this crap over here...well my bday falls on june 18th and i have had a luv affair with maths ever since i ws born...now i knw the reason :)

well august 14th ppl may also be in luv with maths ...:)

good deed bad deed

2009-07-25T22:36:00.002+05:30

Now i have read two really gr8 philosophical blogs in the past few dayz...thats like the best week in my whole life...The deep philosophy although sometimes boring but it really puts ur mind out ...I present the following copied from good deed bad deed

The two of us lay on the terrace on a clear night, both of us with a joint lit in our hand and stared at the sky. She suddenly broke the silence.“People become stars when they die…”I looked at her as her face reflected the orange glow of the lit joint. ‘Where did that come from?’ I thought. I figured being high on weed makes you philosophical so I put in my own two cents.“They go to Heaven. The bad ones go to Hell.”A trail of smoke emerged from my lips as I spoke and danced in the air, reaching for the stars.“Who’s a good person and who’s a bad person?” she asked, her voice husky due to the weed, never taking her eyes off the stars.I looked at her again. ‘Nope. She isn't kidding around.’ I thought. She was expecting an answer.“Good people are good people and bad people are bad people…” That was all I could think of saying. “…you know what I mean?”“I don’t.” she replied and took a deep breath. She really was high.“Umm…good people are the ones who have done good deeds and bad people are the ones who have done bad deeds.” I explained and took a last long drag hoping the explanation was good enough.“What is a good deed and what is a bad deed?”“Can you stop the crap now? You are ruining the trip.” I said wiping off the sweat on my forehead and started rolling another joint.She completely ignored my request. “Is smoking weed or having sex or fighting a sin?”“Yeah, I guess so.”“So we are going to Hell?”I kept quiet. She looked at me. I looked back. Then she went back to staring at the stars. My silence must have told her I didn’t have an answer. She was quiet for a while. Just when I thought the conversation was finally over, she spoke again.“If I kill a man and I think I’m not wrong, then I’m right. I haven’t done a bad deed.” She paused to look if I was listening, then to her finished joint which she replaced with a new one and took a deep drag.“…and if I haven’t done a bad deed then it has to be a good deed. I think smoking weed isnt a bad deed either…”She paused for a few seconds and looked at me smoking. It seemed as if she wanted me to somehow acknowledge what she said. I was thinking about it anyway.She continued. “…so that means there is no such thing as a bad deed. Then there is no one who goes to Hell. If everything is a good deed then everyone goes to Heaven. That means we are living in Hell.”The fact struck me hard as if someone had punched me in the stomach. It was the deepest thing I had ever heard. ‘I am in Hell smoking weed and going to Heaven for that.’ I thought.“Okay. So you kill a man and you think it is right. So it is a good deed and you go to Heaven. This place is Hell, and everyone goes to Heaven. Agreed? But what happens if you feel guilty?”The question made sense, I could make out by her expression. She twitched her eyes a little, then frowned. The question bothered her but only for a few seconds and then she looked up at the sky again, smiling.“I think feeling guilty is a good deed.”

Perfect things never come to an end!

2009-07-21T00:52:00.001+05:30

This post is a direct copy

There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

People are not wrong! It's the striking of chords amongst two souls that makes things hard. No matter how bad you may find someone, there would always be someone to love that one and no matter how good you are, a certain set, a certain amount of souls hate you.. for something may or may not been done by you! So true, “People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.”. I've learned in my lifetime so far that you can't help who you fall for and no matter how hard you try and how much it hurts you every day that you just want to be with them or just talk to them you never stop trying to make them happy by the little things you say or do because that’s what makes your life worth going on for.
You meet people, believe in them..talk to them, know them..and term them as friends. With days passing by, friends become good and better. Feelings grow along with humans. You discover love; you realize the importance of relationship. You become better friends and try naming it. Not always lovers, may be best friends...may be siblings...
Those who are rich in their friendship seem to be those who believe in lifelong relationship, who stay with their companions through thick and thin ,who weather the dry spells.
People find it hard to understand but with passing time you stop explaining. You know it's beautiful and precious. You put in your faith and trust. You start believing in its existence and work upon making it never ending. At times, you may fall for a relation that is weak enough that time or distance may separate it. You lose! But don't lose your heart. This was never a complete relationship. If it was, you shall cross paths.
"If you want something, you get it. If you don't get it, you really didn't want it at all."
That’s why I say, perfect things never come to an end.

P.S. To Shatab,
Being friends with you was the second best thing in this world. Finding you was the first!

P. P.S. Thank you for letting me write the 100th post :-)

Taj by chance

2009-07-21T00:26:00.004+05:30

now lemme begin by asking u guyz..hav u been to Agra and hav u seen Taj Mahal?..
well I happened to be free one thursday nite after wrk and friday was a holiday for me..so me and my friends decided to chek out New York...I wsnt up for it ..bt girls luv this and so u hav to watch the movie with them...so coming to the point ..it ws a pretty late nite show..and were getting only front row tickets..so we decided to ditch the movie..and head for gurgaon..on the way..one of us came with a idea tht lets go to agra..we were all game..so we packed sm snacks and took along a fifth friend and started driving to agra at 2:00 am in the morning..we smhow managed to reach agra at 6:00...i ws bloody sleepy after halfway and pretty much slept in the bacck seat after ttht..

well well we asked sm dhaba guy for directions to Taj after reaching Agra and he tried to convince us tht Taj doesnt open up so early so we shud jst sit there..(wanted to increase his business)
then we strted to drive away and he told us tht since its friday ...so Taj would be closed ...we were like tht he is jst messing with us ...so we headed for taj and found out the truth :(
anyways we still got a posterior view of Taj ..not so beautiful bt nonetheless..it ws a good long drive...we headed back home then at 10:00 am and reached delhi by 2:00 pm
it ws a jollly gud long drive..

p.s.: I could actually bet tht atleast half of ppl who have been to Agra dont knw tht Taj is closed on Friday

2009-07-20T09:09:00.007+05:30

yeh humara college yaaro

Yeh degree bhi lelo ye naukari bhi lelo,

Bhale Chheen lo mujhse USA ka Visa...........

magar mujhko lauta do college ka canteen,

kadi dhoop mein apne ghar se nikalnaa,

vo project ki Khatir shahar bhar bhataknaa,

vo lecture mein doston ki proxy lagaanaa,

vo sir ko chidhanaa ,vo aeroplane udaanaa,

vo submission ki raton ko jagnaa jagaanaa,

vo orals ki kahani vo practical ka Kissaa.....

bimaari ka reason de ke time badhanaa,

vo doosron ke assignments ko apnaa banaanaa,

vo seminar ke din paironka chhatpatanaa,

vo workshop mein din raat pasinaa bahanaa,

vo exam ke din ka bechain maahaul,

par vo maa ka vishvas - Teachar ka Bharosaa.....

vo pedon ke neeche gappe ladanaa,

vo raaton mein drawing sheets banaanaa,

vo exams ke akhari din theatre mein jaanaa,

vo bhole se freshers ko hamesha sataanaa,

without any reason common off pe jaanaa,

test ke waqt table mein kitabon ko rakhnaa,

isi tarah teachers ko dena Jhansaa........

college ki sabse purani nishaanee,

vo chaiwala jiseke yahan tha ghanto bethna

vo uske hathon ki Adarak (ginger) ki chaay meethee,

vo chupkese journal mein bheji hui chitthi,

vo padh tehi chiththi uska bhadakna,

vo chehre ki laali vo aankhon ka Gussaa.....

college ki wo saari lambisi raatein,

vo doston se canteen mein pyaari si baatein,

vo gathering ke din ka ladnaa Jhagadnaa,

vo ladkiyon ka yuhin hamesha akadnaa,

bhulaaye nahin bhool sakta hai koi,

vo college, vo batein, vo shararatein...

kaash hum phir dohra sakte kahani......

vo kagaz ki kashti vo barish ka pani

My Secret Diary

2009-05-24T22:14:00.004+05:30

Now i was looking for a rough copy last nite..wen i stumbled upon my first writings..Its actually my diary from the first year of IITDelhi..Well i first thought there ws no point reading it since I myself had written it but then I thought to myself why not..
One of of the interesting pieces was where i had written that my grades in IIT semester exams were inversely proportional to my efforts..Well it alwayz remained so even after that...and it very well mayb..
then there were tell-all tales of my umpteen visits with a couple of my friends in first year to Miranda House to meet our respective friends :P..and the time we were thrown out of the CCD at K-nags market since we had MacDonald's scoops with us...and the time i dint go to meet this friend when she was going one last time to save myself of all the heartbreak or anything...well i used to think that's the best option ..run,hide,dont talk,dont call,think of bad things about the person to get over stuff...
i never thought i wud remember all this except for this diary..
then there were tales about the raggin times ..how like vich senior i thought ws cool and which ones were gory (there were a couple whom I jst cudnt help getting afraid of..)
whhile reading it i also remembred the time when my roommates found out this diary and were reading it aloud to each other in my absence in first year..it was round about then that i buried it in one of my bags never to be read again...
well I read it and i dont think I have changed one bit in many senses...i am still the same one..uncluttered...frank...clear mind...and procastrinating stuff...I had written so many stuff i shud do while i ws in iit ..i had planned to do them in the first year itself(foreign language,guitar,dance, and what not)..bt it took me about 5 years to do most of them..and i am still a big time amateur if i can call that ....that's for my learning curve..

Infectious Greed..

2009-05-22T08:43:00.000+05:30

Veg vs Non-veg

2009-05-17T11:28:00.000+05:30

Well this one is not about veg and non-vegetarian talks..
This is about the perennial problem the vegetarians have while going out with the non-vegetarians..and the bills are shared and equally split..lets face it...non-vegs alwayz eat more..their food is more expensive....so they alwayz get more value out of their money..

Well ..so I had to give a treat to my non-veg friend Sachi ..and she also has to give me..for all the job which we got...so we decided that let it be in a differnt way ..we both go out and have our kinds of food..and I 'll pay for her and she'll pay for me..she gains anytime u see..she has appetite..;)

Well ..I am listening to jon bon jovi' Blaze of Glory , I'll Be There For You , You Give Love a Bad Name , Keep The Faith , Living On A Prayer , wanted dead or alive and bed of roses these dayz...

2009-04-18T10:16:00.000+05:30

Smtime back I had written a blog on how I had got bored of things..I had even gone to the extend on actually putting my orkut and Gtalk status as bored..it was a first frm anyone...comeon who accepts on public forums that they are bored except hollywood celebrities :) ..it seems now I have a fan following too..not the kinds those celebrities have ..neither that explicit...but I have a lot of people on my gtalk ,orkut and facebook who accept it for watever reasons it may be...that they are bored...it just reminds me of the chat in Before Sunrise "I mean, just once, I'd love to see, some little old lady save up all her money, to go to the fortune teller, and she'd get there, all excited about hearing her future, and the woman would say, "Um-humm. Tomorrow, and all your remaining days will be exactly like today. A tedious collection of hours. And you will have no new passions, and no new thoughts and no new travels, and when you die, you'll be completely forgotten. "
Ohh..I simply love this movie and its sequel Before Sunset...The conversations and the European setting ...anywayz..i will take off now..just put ur orkut/facebook/Gtalk status to bored and U 'll get a free talk time with me..:)

Feeling Miserable

2009-04-11T09:48:00.000+05:30

Ok..its like a cycle for me..I jst really smtimes get the urge to fall in love and it happens once in a while..then i feel really miserable..last time this feeling came was around republic day and it lasted for 36 hours..now it struck me last nite and i got over it just this early morning..
I almost alwayz feel miserable wen I think about how ppl fall in love and i dont smhow..bt I dont know if i can be hopeful on this..mayb someday i will get the girl,my type..hopefully this cycle wont come again or wen its time really comes I am already in love ....Lets be hopeful this time.

Dont explain yourself,because talk is cheap

2009-04-10T12:33:00.000+05:30

Dont explain yourself,because talk is cheap..There are more important things than to hear you speak----Lyrics of the song Sorry by Madonna..
I have been hearing Madonna's Sorry and Hung Up and Moby's Natural Blues all day long now...
Now I trade Oil and it moves ..it bloody hell moves like anything..if you want to see the kind of movements ..jst look at its charts..this is the 10mint charts..if jst try tweaking with it and see the 10 mints charts with high density...for every dollar move I lose or gain (losing it mainly these dayz) a thousand dollars ...like if I had bought oil at 48.00 and then sold it for 49.00 then I gain 1000 dollars..Oil is one of the leading markets..it doesnt necessarily follow other markets..but a lot of other markets follow oil like Wheat,Soya and a lot of commodities..A lot of stocks of Dow Jones like Exxon and other oil companies had their share price pummelled as oil fell from 147 to mid 30's.
So, I dont know where oil is headed from here in the short term..bt long term obviously its going really really up..god know what figures we are looking at.....short term its still undecisive.it could still test the lows of about 40 or mayb be remain range bound...
I will continue this post later...
As for why i chose the Title..its jst that smtimes the market is moving so much in front of our eyes and we may be thinking that it cud go down...bt even then we dont enter...and then later we explain ourselves..bt the point is talk is cheap..u hav to enter the market to know it and lose from it or gain een...watever really..

The Fool...

2009-04-07T23:40:00.000+05:30

There is the plain fool, who does the wrong thing at all times everywhere, but there is the Wall Street fool, who thinks he must trade all the time. No man can always have adequate reasons for buying or selling stocks daily – or sufficient knowledge to make his play an intelligent play.

First Impressions

2009-04-05T23:35:00.000+05:30

Now..People say that first impressions matter..to me I think they matter the most...
For me first impression matter big time..its the period between I first meet you/talk to you and by the time I regularly chat with you..can be a period of a few dayz or months or hours..U shud nt be cheap or too funny ..
For me its also like if ur first impression is gud then u will stay gud in my eyes for a big time..u do anything bad, say anything bad ..it really wont make a difference..
But if your first impression is bad..then I wud not really trust you or watever gud u mite do ..it will take a hell lot of time for me to thing any gud of you...
So in a way if you want to knw if I want to talk to you or like you..jst ask me wat my first impression of you is...

I dint knw vich pic to put so have put both of them..
Am listening to The ting tings-We walk..sorta pop song..

Casting Couch

2009-03-07T21:15:00.000+05:30

"Whether you’re hiding from the KGB, working as 007, or pretending you’re a married man to please your mother, every now and again you’ll find it necessary to create an alternate life. And while you can get alarmingly far with just a bogus ,doctored passport, and a set of Armani glasses, eventually you’ll need to produce a human being to corroborate your story. That’s when you’ll need an actor.

“But actors are whiny and self-centered.” True, but they’re also professional liars and –- as an added bonus –- very, very hot :).

“How do I go about hiring these masters of deceit?” You’ll need to generate a character description and post it with a casting service or local newspaper. Before you complain about all that work, remember: You’ll be rewarded with hundreds of pictures of hot strangers(read girls only) sent right to your home...free.

Below are some notices I sent out recently when trying to cast a fake family so that my mother would love me. Enjoy!

CASTING CALL!

Role:Mrs. Goel. My Fortuitous wife ... Despite birthing a son has not lost her figure. In fact, might look better than she used to.

Project: “The Goels” on the lines of The Simpsons(I have never really watched it beyond 2 minutes..bt wud want to sm day) A living theater experiment in which we fool my mother into thinking I have a wife and son. Intermittent gigs over the next twenty years.

Director:Ofcourse me – the visionary web-cam auteur who brought you raw classics

Pay: Scale.

Seeking: Female, 18 – 29, energetic, extremely attractive. Like, at least a 9.

Skills:

-- Hot -- like, at least a 9
-- Must provide own swim suits(ok ok ..i can do that myself)...whatever “sexy outfits” a married women might have
-- Willingness to perform own stunts
-- Willing to do anything for the scene

Notes:

Please send headshots, resumes, and other pictures to shivamgoel@gmail.com

Epilogue:am listening to pretty much those old songs only...

valkyrie

2009-03-01T23:50:00.001+05:30

i saw this movie valkyrie..every1 knows wats it abt..bt for me a die hard hitler fan..it was a manna frm heaven...
though the movie revolved arnd a coup to upstage hitler..even then I think i liked it..
first of all before this movie I used to think that coup's are a waste of a time.(after watching so many of them amngst our neighbouring countries...)bt i got to see that it can be meaningful too..and there is no right and no wrong..its jst a victor who frames the history according to his view..
Infact i wudnt be wrong to say that i have developed a fascination for coup..the power play, the strategy and the tactics..and the utter fear of everything going just bloody wrong big time..you sure will be castrated for that...:).
the bottomline though is that there is no wron and no right..u hav to take side during the war and during peace time...this can be good or bad...it can be helpful and can go wrong in a big way..
.the question is is remaining neutral a better solution ...or is taking a risk of taking sm1's side better....
I dont knw reallly..
am listening to Human by Killer these days...

P.S.: as my friend Deepak Misra suggested to me ..its better to propose to her and take that risk than just being remaining a neutral friend forever..pretty true..

I am officially bored

2009-02-22T21:10:00.001+05:30

Now I officially declare that I am bored....I have a job which I dont know why i am in and how it works..i havent had a gf since I dont knw when...the only solace comes from the fact that there are more boring ppl who have bothered to read uptill this point...
I just started to think what good were things exactly a year ago..I had definitely more parties..and meeting new ppl....I was jobless(i.e. was still in college..)..
So what do I look forward in the next few months..Bangkok/Hongkong trip in June...ya ya it shud be gud..
Meeting sm interesting new ppl...(I dont knw how bt i think smthing is abt to give..and it ain't me)
and hopefully to keep u glued to this ultra-boring blog...

Now another question ...Do ppl look at themselves the same way that they look at their friends/other ppl...in the sense do we see the mistakes...no i dont think ..
really the problem here is that I have been watching too much of the girlie "sex & the city " and "gossip girl"..the latter I had quit watching after watching the first two episodes during my college times (found it very teenage types..and also dint have time)..u can now sense how my life has changed that I am watching them..:(
let me give u another example of "level of not having anything to do"..I have this friend wrking in hongkong..no real friends..just acquaintances ...a telugu roommate...this person has now started watching telugu movies..and even recommends it to me that they are really cool...hollywood ishtyle..
Actually I think I mite strt to soon enuf..bt nt telugu..mayb sm native african/zulu kinds or mayb Bengali kinds...
watever really...

sm1 dreams of....

2009-02-16T01:10:00.000+05:30

Well this is the year of the ox..and I am an ox by the chinese calender..it has been my status for past smtime now on my gtalk...so u can check that out
i just remember what dream i had last night

aaj kal bahut tension mein hoon..

when it's like that, i remember all my dreams

previous night ka bhi yaad aa gaya hai
I'm kind of younger, and living at my old (ground floor apartment) house in Chandigarh

and there are suddenly like 5 tigers approaching

to attack me

i run for the kitchen and then fight them by knives

by dodging them through the small doors (small house)
nd when they are killed, 4-5 more come..

and fro some reason, at the back of my head, there is a constant thought that this is some kind of curse and they will keep coming
I dont knw wat to do and i dont knw where to hide...

I need sm helppppp

I'm Just Not That Into This Movie

2009-02-16T00:34:00.000+05:30

He's Just Not That Into You is a nice little movie I saw this saturday..It keeps telling us how women/girls are stupid to think so much..and for a welcome change show guys as the studs:)

But in the end as always its the girl's will which wins..Its always that the girl and guy try and understand and solve the girl's problem...and keep her happy.Remember both have to work together
In bw the cast boasts of sm of the better looking chicks these dayz...Jennifer aniston(old ..really looks old),jennifer connelly(sexy as ever),Scarlett (Super Super hot) and Drew barrymore(shown more of a geek and not much of a role in it..)
Anywayz enjoy this one time watch flick..ciao..

V-day revisited

2009-02-12T10:50:00.000+05:30

Its another Valentine Day,
All you guys have a date,
All I have is my chocolate cake,
that too my mother baked

p.s.:it doesnt necessarily mean that I dont have a date..:)

Height of Technology and dumbness

2009-01-27T10:37:00.000+05:30

Now this is dedicated to all the Computer science students ...3
We have to read a lot of reports in our trading job..and also We subscribe to a lot of trial subscriptions...Those guyz (or infact their IT personnel) say that they maintain a database..But know what these automated programs will send you a mail that you won't receive further reports..But if you subscribe to the same service from the same damn email address we should technically speaking not be getting the reports...But now I have tried this on 3 differents sites(pretty famous ones in their line of business) and ..guess what..they send you the reports...so enjoy yourself and just keep registering from the same email address..dont bother to create a new email address...

Where are we...

2009-01-24T23:30:00.000+05:30

I have been thinking for the last few weeks...a few of my gud frens tying the knot and it reminds of my case...hopelessly hopeless...though the followng is little out of context...
jst analysing that I thought why some people keep phone with them at bed...and in silent mode..so is it an urge to have it by themselves all the time or what..even though they may hardly pick calls at nite..well I am still looking for answers..and if the phone isnt in silent mode..then what happens to them if sm1 actually calls/messages...
Another thing was ..do single people who are partying/or are with frens saturday nite...reply to messages...I dont think they do...if they are to someone that means they may be in "like with the person they are messaging"
Do frens and i mean a girl and a boy mainly...remain connected well after marriage or if one of them has found someone..things change..bt why shud they..its the love/new person who shud accomodate the old guys..
am still looking fr answers...

..let it rock...

2009-01-20T00:29:00.000+05:30

Like Moses, the Dalai Lama, and Dr. Oracle, I am often asked to impart my wisdom and advice on those who cannot or will not help themselves. Even though I can't improve myself -- I am seemingly perfect ;) -- I can help others improve.

Dear Shivam,

My girlfriend has been nagging me to express my feelings more but she always does that at inconvenient times like when I'm watching football or reading about up-coming video games. I'd love to tell her something so she'll stop nagging me, but I have no idea how to go about "sharing" my emotions.

Sincereley,

RaviPrakash Lodhi

----------------------

Ravi,

There are only three appropriate venues for expressing one's emotions. I call them the 3 D's: Dinner, During Sex, Deathbed.

DINNER: Your girlfriend wants you to express your feelings? Fine. Cover her hand with your own, look deep into her eyes, and tell her in a soft voice how you regret not ordering an appetizer. This action is international girl-speak for "I am revealing the secret depths of my soul," so it doesn't have to be about appetizers -- any honest feeling you have about the quality of food or service will have her eating out of your hand.

DURING SEX: One of the seemingly infinite benefits of sex is that there's so much activity, coordination and noise, you can get away with saying almost anything*. Thus, sex is the ideal time to honestly express doubts about your employability, gambling addiction, or even your long-term relationship potential.

DEATHBED: Since it's really tough to be mad at someone who is about to die, your deathbed is an excellent time to really go bananas with your feelings. Insecurities, infidelities, incisions...anything you've kept hidden over the years can be freely discussed with little fear of retribution. As an added bonus, some girls enjoy a sensitive side and become easily confused when faced with the grim certitude of death...play your cards right and you might be able to squeeze two in that deathbed before the buzzer goes off. (NOTE: For all the above reasons, feigning your own terminal illness and deathbed scenario can be a cathartic experience).

*Note: avoid at all costs mentioning how hot her sister is.

**Unless said sister is in bed with you. In that case, feel free to exaggerate a bit.

P.S.: I am sorry for copying some of my work..

I am listening to let it rock these dayz though

what's there in a name

2009-01-19T16:21:00.000+05:30

Now i was returning by train a few years back from Bangalore and i was coming back alone actually..
So there was this old couple of yore ..you know the forty fifty years married kinds..
They looked more like those english educated kinds of couple..So the guy keeps calling her sweet nothings like rose ,sweetie pie,sweetheart...and all those sweet names all the time..I was really amazed to see such love after having being married for so much time..
so the lady( or grandma shud i say...) just went out..and I confessed to this granpd kinds of person that their love looked eternal and has really stood the wrath of time..grandpa then quipped back that he had forgotten her name around ten years back and so called her out like this lest she feels bad...

So moral of the story is what's there in a name...your feelings are important...
to copy from one hindi movie....even shakespeare wrote his name below this saying of his...;)

....the making of a heartattack..

2009-01-08T11:17:00.000+05:30

in the last few dayz ..i.e. this week i realized how people can so easily get a heartattack/heartfail when they make a big loss and want to escape all the ignominy..
Lemme strt from the begining ...I am a crude oil trader..and man ..crude oil is volatile..the way it moves ..i jst luv it..
uptil last month when my P/L (profit/loss) statment used to move ..i used to enjoy it ..but coming bcak this year ..this is also giving me heart burns...last two dayz I almost had a feeling that I am going to get a heart attack...my hands dint sweat(u cud attribute that to the Ultra cold conditions.)
I just wish more such volatile dayz for me to finally attain vairagya urf nirvana..i hope i have sm gud deeds under my belt..

p.s.:I have even started listening to "what if god was in one of us" by joan osbourne..
and now i am seriously wondering why my first blog of the year is about heartattacks..

factory girl

2008-12-26T22:37:00.000+05:30

I watched this lovely movie "The Factory Girl" the other day on Star Movies..

This one ws my memorable quote the one I want to share with some1 soon..
Andy Warhol: I wonder if people are going to remember us?
Edie Sedgwick: What, when we're dead?
Andy Warhol: Yeah.
Edie Sedgwick: Well I think people will talk about how you changed the world.
Andy Warhol: I wonder what they'll say about you... in your obituary. I like that word.
Edie Sedgwick: Nothing nice, I don't think.
Andy Warhol: No no, come on. They'd say, "Edith Minturn Sedgwick: beautiful artist and actress...
Edie Sedgwick: ...and all around loon.
Andy Warhol: ...Remembered for setting the world on fire...
Edie Sedgwick: ...and escaping the clutches of her terrifying family...
Andy Warhol: ...Made friends with eeeeverybody, and anybody...
Edie Sedgwick: ...creating chaos and uproar wherever she went. Divorced as many times as she married, she leaves only good wishes behind.

Single's Day

a couple of days ago or yesterday i think was Happy Single's Day...
and i just cudnt help feeling lonely.....and even more lonely as i write this..

My Feelings..

2008-11-09T23:54:00.000+05:30

As you all know, I recently overcame a traumatic and life threatening experience. While I appreciate the “get well” cards and muffin baskets you’ve been so kind to send, many of you are under the impression that the 83 major and minor bone fractures (heh) were the most serious injuries I suffered. False. All the time I was fighting a far more insidious and debilitating condition. Feelings.

During my courageous battle against Feelings I discovered, in shock, that the medical establishment has done very little research on this crippling affliction. In fact some physicians even went so far as to claim Feelings aren’t even a life-threatening disease! Luckily for you my PhD has qualified me to assemble this informative medical pamphlet for any of you who fear you may have contracted Feelings.

Keep fighting...

ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM FEELINGS?

What Are Feelings?

Feelings are a tender emotional state that develop when a male becomes fixated on a single female to the exclusion of others.

Early Warning Signs

When you’re around one particular chick, you experience:

•Pounding Heart
•Dry Mouth
•Nausea
•Inability to speak
•Sweating
•Desire to say flattering things

If undiagnosed, these warning signs can quickly develop into the full blown disease…

Symptoms

•Warm fluttery feelings in stomach
•Lightheadedness
•An unexplained urge to watch Love Actually
•Sudden increase in cuddling occurrences
•Brunch cravings
•Explosive monogamy
•Happiness
•Failure to notice other hot women
•Crosswording

Transmission

Though correlation remains scientifically inconclusive, studies indicate “hand holding” may play a role in spreading Feelings from one person to another.

Treatment

At this time the only treatment for Feelings is a multi-week course in Other Women. If symptoms persist, repeat course at a higher dosage. NOTE: This treatment can result in harmful side-effects which I think you can think on your own..:P.

“Together we can end Feelings”

Crude Oil is crude

2008-11-09T23:37:00.000+05:30

Now it has been a rough ride for all the people and economies of the world in near past ..and mite be in the near future..but wat i know is that crude oil is having its own ride..down to arnd 60$ frm a a high of 147$ things dont seem to be settling down.....and its bloody volatile..I dont know how it ws about 3-4 years ago..though it gives an opportunity to earn but to lose big too..
wat i knw right now is that I have a CAT paper at the end of the week and I am bloody like a washerman's dog..neither full-time CAT preparation and neither learning that much in trading..
Its a big confused environment for me..

thought for the moment

2008-11-09T23:21:00.000+05:30

Now this is dedicated to one of my very gud friends...(I refrain from using "best friend" since I think that all my gud friends are my best friends..and I generally cant distinguish..)
Moving on....I have this habit that I try to learn one good habit from every friend i make or know...it can be anything...It can be how to talk well of others...or refraining from negative thoughts/talk....pragmatism...how not to make others yearn for you to say and instead just say ....
This one is dedicated to the friend who made me learn a couple of things...amongst them the prime thing is Sunsigns...Ok..now you may think how is this gud/bad...bt lemme begin to talk ...I made this friend iin the last days of my school...I wrote in this friend's slam book at the end of the school days my bday and other random stuff..
anywayz cut to the point i meet this person after more than 4 years ..and the person remembers my sunsign...which tells my bday in a 30 day range....like rough idea of the month it is..
and bloody me dint even know which half of the year (that wud have been the precision of 180 dayz to the very least..)..so till that point I never used to feel the need to remember anyone's bday and was pretty cold-blooded about my bday too..bt i felt so nice and good that I decided to remember the bday of every friend i make and I also nowadayz make a point to remember the sunsign and the various stuff related to that...and discussing with this friend(before this i used to give a damn to all the hororscopes and sunsign talk..which i think is pretty crap even now..)...but i learnt that people appreciate it if u know and also cud make a gud talking point...
anywayz i am listening to these song ...halifax's straight up and def leppard's hysteria.

Oil Continued

2008-10-25T15:57:00.000+05:30

Now with the price of Oil plummeting lets look at how this is happening and the reasons behind it.

Obviously the oil bubble has burst and the claims that the production costs of oil is 70$ has been affirmed at least for now.Where it may go is still a big question?
Now as for my theory about vested interests wanting that oil remains above 100$ still holds since they just did an oil production cut of 1.5 million barrels a day out of the arnd 86-87 million barrels a day used by the world.Though it could not stop the slide is temporary since it is happening due to the financial crisis across the world.It still has to hit India and Asia though warning bells have begun ringing in the form of stock market crashes.We still have to see it in Asia is My Point.

The point to be noted is that with the price of oil above 100$ ,trying for new oil reserves/exploration/alternative means of energy all started to look feasible which has not been the case in past around 10-15 years.Oil Shales in Canada and other alternative energy means cannot be supported with price of oil under $80 to be most conservative (maybe even $100 would be a good estimate.)
So the prices of Oil was driven down so that all these projects which had been started over past some time start to look unfeasible and economically inefficient.This could have been done by vested interests.They would pick it up again above 100 and then next time on these new projects would come only if the price stabilizes above $120 for longer period of time.After the mauling in all the financial streets,they have run out of steam and money to finance themselves.

Another point is that the recent anouncements of Opec production cut is meant more for US and other countries who support and finance Israel for Palestine.Arab has long hated US role in Palestine and it has I think done a deal with non pro-Israel nations that it will continue to supply Oil to them as it is.The production cut is more of a supply cut for US and Co. and the rest will be business as usual.Moreover the remaining production they wil continue to supply to other countries.Also this gives them the dual benefit of price rise( since US is a big consumer of Oil and supply cut to them would affect the prices in the long run) as also it gives US the thumbs down in Israel.

Now coming back to the downturn awaited in India (and I mean Asia in general).It will affect our serice driven economy and the production driven economies of the rest of the Asia(which supplies mostly to US and have low domestic consumption) and hence then with less people to spend on other stuff ,will affect the rest of the Economy.

I also think that rate cuts et al will not have the desired affect since that will only drive all the money from the banks back to stashing of cash and not make people invest in business.What is needed is a stimulus and confidence in economy and not just mere rate cuts.

Lets hope the recession turns from here.

Haunted hotels to keep you awake

2008-10-25T15:54:00.000+05:30

Following is a n article directly from Reuters.com
Suicide, murder, untimely deaths, all set the grisly stage for macabre stories of hauntings and other ghostly tales drawing visitors to supposedly haunted hotels around the world ahead of Halloween.

Travel Web site ProfessionalTravelGuide.com has come up with a list of 9 haunted hotels (http://www.professionaltravelguide.com/Haunted-Hotels-2008) for thrill-seekers who like hearing things go bump in the night.

This list is not endorsed by Reuters:

1. Hotel Del Coronado, Coronado, California

Kate Morgan's body was found six days after she checked into Room 302 of the Hotel del Coronado to meet her estranged husband on Thanksgiving Day 1892. He reportedly never showed up. Kate's untimely death was ruled a suicide. Room 302 is now known as Room 3312, but Kate's spirit is said to roam the entire hotel.

2. Roosevelt Hotel, Hollywood, California

The site of the first Academy Awards and the center of Hollywood during its heyday, The Roosevelt Hotel is said to accommodate the ghosts of Marilyn Monroe (Suite 1200) and Montgomery Clift, star of "From Here to Eternity" (Room 928). Marilyn Monroe was a frequent guest there. Her image is said to appear in a mirror now located in the lobby.

3. The Sagamore, Bolton Landing, New York

The Sagamore in Bolton Landing, New York, is said to harbor the ghost of a boy from the 1950s. The boy would collect lost golf balls and sell them to the pro shop for extra cash. Running after a ball one day, he was fatally struck by a car. Apparently, guests still see the boy on the golf course sometimes.

4. Driskill Hotel, Austin, Texas

The smell of cigar smoke can be detected when Colonel Driskill, a Texas cattle baron and Confederate officer, is said to be wandering the lavish Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas. In 1877, the daughter of a Texas senator took a fatal tumble down the grand staircase. It is said she can be heard bouncing a ball in the lobby and along the mezzanine.

5. Shieldhill Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland

Guests tell stories of "The Gray Lady" who is said to haunt Shieldhill Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland. According to legend, she was the daughter of the family who owned the castle until the mid-20th century. She is said to have fallen in love with one of the hired hands. When her father disapproved of the marriage, she committed suicide.

6. Hotel Provincial, New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans is renowned for its spooks and hauntings. Part of the Provincial Hotel was once a Confederate hospital. Maids have reported bloodstains mysteriously appearing and disappearing. Once, as the elevator opened on the second floor, the vision of an entire hospital apparently came into view.

7. The Marshall House, Savannah, Georgia

Used as a hospital during the Civil War and during yellow fever epidemics in the 19th century, the Marshall House in Savannah, Georgia, is reportedly one of the most haunted hotels in the city. For more ghosts, check out the famed Pirate House Restaurant with a tunnel dug by pirates that leads to the river.

8. The Heathman Hotel, Portland, Oregon

At this hotel, guests who have left their rooms clean have returned to find something amiss or moved about. Records for the hotel will have shown no one entering the room. Evidently, these occurrences are frequent, especially in rooms ending in-03.

9. The Carolina Inn, Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Paranormal researchers have studied The Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, believed investigating the spirit of Dr. William Jacocks who lived at the inn for many years. Orbs, piano notes, soft-spoken words and other ghostly happenings add to the spooky ambience.

saccha pyaar @3-4 girls

2008-10-12T21:59:00.000+05:30

now I never thought abt this..I ws talking to one friend wen he said ki use 3 ladkiyon se saccha pyaar ho gaya hai..and I was like ki handle kaise karta hoga(instead of asking is this possible that 3 girls se "saccha pyaar") ..anywayz I also had to ask ki if they knew each other..thank god that they were all in different cities:))
anywayz a friend of mine ws asking if I had something interesting going in my life ...and i ws like in a tp(=timepass) statement said "3-4 se saccha pyaar"
now apparently that irked things up since how ccan sachcha pyaar be with 3-4 ..and how is it not decided...now instead of talking that how am I not decided on the no. of girls I am in love with the talk was more abt the surety if that no. is not going to increase..Talk digressed to the fundamental subject of that if it possible to love more than 1 person..now there is the mythological case of Draupadi loving 5 guyz..first upheld religion..second upheld sharpness and also very gud archer..third ws all strength..and 4 and 5th were gud enuf kinds..
Also then we have Krishna who had loads of fun..;)
But the more important question is it possible to love more than one person..I think you can admire the beauty /or something of more than one person and you can like also..but love is a more subtle thing ..
I really dont know how to end this but I dont think there is an end to this so ...

something to ponder about

Conspiracy Theory

2008-10-04T23:35:00.000+05:30

Now I just noticed that I hadn't posted anything for almost a month.But I don't really have much to say or write really..Its been all US of A all this month with companies coming down..and nobody knows if it is the end or the start or somewhere midway of the downturn...Well I worked with my friend on some sort of conspiracy theory about how Goldman Sachs has a hand in all of this ..And how it is going to benefit from this all..Well our theory had flaks of doubt since it all looked to big to be masterminded but comeon even the landing of Moon or even the 9/11 WTC bombings have conspiracy theories doing the round ..So for starters even my theory is also like a black swan ...(FYI: swans used to be thought of as only white in color for like centuries until some time back...)
Well Goldman obviously wants smaller players(relatively) like Lehman and Merrill Lynch out of sight ..So Paulson and Bernanke the pro-GS and former GS employees kept GS out of all this sub-prime mortgages just in time ..and they let the others falter with intersting rate cuts and reducing the differnce between the discount rate and the target rate..A recipe for disaster..
Also Paulson lets Lehman falter but the BAIL-OUT plan comes only after that ...The big question is why???They tell that somebody should have gone down but I cannot really digest why they didnt come up with the plan ..the situation has only grown worse since the fall of Lehman...They would have also let Morgan Stanley fall but I think there must be a story about that too .I think about that one of the reasons could be that GS and MS had big investments in commodities and so Energy companies stand to lose out a lot if GS and MS pullout since energy companies have a lot of stake and say amongst the Republicans(FYI:Bernanke and Paulson are Republicans ). They say that Lehman was small but just look at the absolute value mann...its in billions of dolllars ..and I dont understand why Bush is unable to spend money on welfare schemes and health insurance which would have certainly got him votes ..

W all this looks good in hindsight but I think after sometime we will have a book by some I-Bankers (since most of them are already jobless or are going to) about something like this and it will be a good hit especially amongst the Banking brotherhood(they wont have much work to do you see)
Above is the picture of the Barclays Sign Adorns Lehman Building:

Lost City of Chernobyl

2008-09-07T17:38:00.000+05:30

now this is direct ccp frm the link:: http://englishrussia.com/?p=293

“In matters nuclear one thing is certain: there is no protection in an iron curtain.” A letter in The Times May 3rd, 1986.

On the 26th of April 1986 shortly after midnight, to be precise, at 1:23 GMT, there occurred near the Ukrainian town of Chornobyl a tremendous explosion at a huge nuclear power plant, followed by a gradual meltdown of the reactor No. 4.

Chornobyl is situated 80 miles north-west of Kiev, the ancient capital of Ukraine and the Soviet Union’s third largest city.

It was by far the worst nuclear reactor accident ever, which immediately sent a radioactive cloud across neighbouring Byelorussia, Poland and the Baltic Republics towards Scandinavia.

Within days, borne by shifting winds, radioactive mists wafted beyond Soviet borders and spread across most of Europe causing anxiety, apprehension and fear.

The most badly affected were the Republics of Ukraine and Byelorussia. They suffered large scale involuntary irradiation, due to extensive secrecy, and great economic damage. Furthermore the contaminated air mass passed over large areas of Poland and also over parts of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Yugoslavia and a number of West European countries.

Till now the land is abandoned, thousands of houses, thousands acres of the land, everything is now stays almost the same as it was 20 years ago.

Nowadays there guided tours are being conducted to this area. These photos are made by Alexandr Vikulov, pikul2001@mail.ru while participating in such a trip.

This Soviet Era sign indicates the entrance to Chernobyl county. Many of the things there stand unchanged since Soviet union times.

This is also a sign from Soviet times on one of the buildings in Chernobyl. There is life now in Chernobyl, some people decided to return despite the radiation hazard. The members of this trip have noticed even one building was being renovated.

Still people are very rare on the streets of Chernobyl. All the pipes now are on top of the ground, because the soild is nuclear polluted.

This is the main square in downtown of Chernobyl.

It is the monument to the people who tried to shut down the nuclear station right after the accident happened. Many of the died - some same year (1986) others a little bit later.

This is also that monument. On the road to the monument there are a lot of signs warning about nuclear pollution, but trees and bushes grew all over them so it’s possible not to notice such signs. Nature is not afraid of radiation.

This is kindergatten kindergarten on the way to Chernobyl in one of the abandoned villages.

This is a bedroom in it.

Toys are lying all over the place.

Music notes.

How is it correct to cross a road?

One more bedroom.

This is a Chernobyl Nuclear Station itself. Even now people there work, they build a special cover on top of the blown up reactor, so that radiation could not spread further. They are allowed to work inside not more than 2 minutes a day in special protective uniform, and they get $1000 monthly salary for this 2 minute job a day, which is 5 times bigger than an average salary in this region. Many people try to tune their the dosage indicators so that they show less numbers than they got in reality so that they could work more and earn more.

This was a cultural center for Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers.

Coming inside…

Such huge pictures across the walls were very classy in Soviet 80s.

This is a gym, Soviet symbolics is left untouched. Probably no other places in former USSR where it can be found so.

Through the floor there is already a tree grew. Probably a result of some mutation?

Here is written “Brave ones”

Sport equipment.

And that’s a view to a side-show.

Leaving a gym..

More Soviet symbolics and portraits of some Soviet leaders.

“Love” is written here.

A lonely doll was lost on the asfalt.

Here were the tickets sold to the side-shows.

This was a star turn, the big dipper.

And this is the entrance to it. Some more toys are left..

And some more Soviet era signs.

A disposed fire extinguisher.

It has been said that some mad French artist visited an abandoned city and made series of crazy paintings on the walls all across the city.

This was the hotel.

Some more of French paintings.

Some tables are left on the middle of the square. Look at this Nuclear Hazard sign, it was previously used to be a peaceful sign, now it shows the real state of the things here.

This is a Soviet style mailbox.

Piece of the Soviet architecture…

Inside of School building. Look how many gas-masks!

Somebody left his shoe in a rush.

That’s a chemistry classroom.

And this is a teachers room.

This is a class log.

The building of the school suffers demolition…

Guess what it is.

This is inside a hospital.

Inside of a cubicle.

Chess and a medical thing.

Mattresses.

This is an elevator. It is stuck halfway.

This medical drug is left untouched for 20 years!

And some more drugs untouched.

Beds at the hostpital’s yard.

Walking across the city. All these trees weren’t here before the accident, 20 years ago. They are a new generation.

A dock.

This is another sample of Soviet architecture, 16 stored building with a Soviet state emblem.

Just another view of it.

Another street art on the walls of the abandoned city Chernobyl, all of them appeared after the accident, when first tourists appeared.

And some more on the roof of this 16 stored building from previous photos.

This is the view on the Chernobyl Power Plant. As it can be seen it stands right in the middle of the city.

This is that emblem.

Some giant letters are scattered across the roof. What for? Who knows..

A view of totally abandoned city.

Forest came into the city.

Another piece of art…

a stranger in my life

2008-08-23T23:41:00.000+05:30

I have a stranger in my life..its new ..its dynamic..and it doesnt know its mood..i am really flustered sometimes but i am loving this challenge..the pursual is always exciting than the end result itself..
But i love the way it puts itself in front of myself and puts a fight against me..Because i don't give up and i like a challenge and things which can withhold against me..i am waiting to see how long it holds against me..something's gotta give in..

a french friend's memoir..

2008-08-23T02:19:00.000+05:30

These are the excerpts from a french friend who visited India..and I hope we learn a lesson..
"....I must say we are happy to have left India.
We eventually got used to the lively (yet smelly) atmosphere of the streets, but we got sick of the continuous tourist hassle, which made our trip very uncomfortable. It was impossible for us to walk quietly in the streets or visit a monument without being harassed by insisting shopkeepers or beggars (not to mention the uncountable rip-off's we had to avoid). After a while, we were forced to turn down anyone who tried to talk to us. In such conditions, travelling was not very pleasant and meeting/sharing with Indian people was just impossible. I am quite sad we did not have any real insight into indian culture because of that.
The monuments we saw were very impressive and convinced us that India had a rich history and an exceptionnal touristic potential. However, I am afraid most Indians are wasting this potential by considering tourists only as a stack of 500 rps. notes and giving them a very bad welcome. Most tourists we met on our trip had the same impression.
I hope that things will change and that people will realize that harassing tourists is not the best way to make them spend money and come back.
You are lucky not to have this problem, with you being indian. I recommend you to visit Taj Mahal (you probably have) and the Khajuraho temples if you have some time : they are wonderful places."
Jai Hind
PS:I reallly hope things change ..and I dont really know how to defend this..I have been faced with many questions before about India and well i think i did pretty well to defend India and also better our position..I just dont know how to reply to this though...

oil travels faster than light

2008-08-21T10:52:00.000+05:30

Now as far as I remember I have explained in one of last few blogs how oil market is one of the MOST volatile markets.The speed with which it fluctuates beats our sounds of sigh(Hence,its faster than sound) and fluctuates faster than we can see(Which preposterously I can say is faster than we can see and hence faster than light)
Oil oil oill...that is all what the whole world longs for..Russian attack on Georgia is a follow up where another world power is beginning to involve in a big way since there is a huge premium for that pipelines which flow around there.USA surrounding Russia with its Polish missile shield deal will only make the matters worse.A few days earlier I thought that US will forgo this proposed deal and also let NATO not make Georgia and Ukraine its members since it needs Russia's support to censure Iran(a big time enemy of Russia...though there were also reports that since Russia attacked Georgia and came close to Iran ,Iran could agree to the west's demand for ending its nuclear plants et al).
For the moment though,my perception is that Georgia and Ukraine will not get a membership in NATO for a long time(and that amounts to never)..A strong likelihood that Europe will allow Russia to take control of Georgia and Ukraine in some time..because it cant risk its gas supplies from Russia and neither can it fight for someone else and that too against Russia.
The Kremlins ie Russia will look to take control of Georgia+Ukraine and hence the Black Sea..US will not install its defense shield in Poland atleast for a couple of years since its too busy in Iraq and Afghanistan.It also has to deal with Iran and so cannot bug Russia.
Arctic Sea will become a major flash point ..but that is atleast 4-5 years away.Also western oil companies will force their way throug off-shore drilling in US(which is currently banned due to environmental issues) since they are on their way out from the big oil producing regions like Venenzuela,Iran,Russia and the like anti-US/pro-nationalist countires.
Oil prices I think will only rise..I donot think they can go below 100$ at any cost..The stakes are too high for oil producing countries to let that happen.
You can run you can hide but you cant escape Oil.

Daydream, delusion, limousine, eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes
I'm a delusion angel
I'm a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Lodged in life
Like branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I'll carry you
You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me?
Don't you know me by now?

fistcuffs and hand fights..

Oil Trader

2008-07-15T22:09:00.000+05:30

Now i know for sure what I will be doing for next 5-6 months..I will be buying oil..it doesnt sound exciting until I specify its the crude oil which has been giving shocks to all of us for past some time now..And I am not going to help matter further since I will be one of the speculators betting on price movements of the Oil which you need to motor through daily routine.
It all seems very exciting and am learning about world economics and politics which I always seem to be interested in but did not have much of clue..(I needed someone to spoon-feed me and now I have got my initial dose..The rest I will do myself..)
One thing which I just came to know is that oil market operates for 22hrs(5:30am-3:30am IST...sigh)..I have my work cut out(PHEW!!!!)...
Also I learned is that during the 1973 oil crisis US president introduced odd-even rationing (only people with an odd-numbered license plate could purchase gas on an odd-numbered day)..
Similarly,a three-color flag system was used to denote gasoline availability at petrol pumps. A green flag denoted abundant gasoline, a yellow flag denoted rationed sales and a red flag denoted that no gasoline was available but the petrol pumps was open for other services..
Lets see what this crisis brings to US...I hope the worst

Now this will be my last post for the moment since i will be out of station for a while...see you in a fortnight guyz...I have to finish off lots of stuff today and there is stuff pending for blogging also like one tag and such other things..but that i will look after a while..

marriage and birthdayzzz and dubbayzzz

2008-06-23T23:06:00.000+05:30

Now what do people generally do on their 23rd bday...Well drink and smoke was the response a friend of mine gave when I told that I did not do any of them..Well I did drink water and Pepsi but that wud be like trying to skin the already thin hair.
Well coming to the point again..a day before I called up my fren askin for some info. regarding a fren.She remembered my bday and asked my how am i celebrating..same response no drinking no smoking ..and she is shocked...and to add to this i am celebrating my bday on 17th nite with my frens (which is a tuesday and my bday is on 18th) [..and tuesday is such a holy day..was my reason d'etre for not drinking which is again my silly PJ.]
So what do people really do ..I want to go to a disco and party but I need some money..which for some particular reason I am alwayz short of..and have been in particular fr the past month or so..
I want to get into my Birthday (dubbay if we try to manipulate it : a PJ i borrowed frm a fren) dress i.e. the one I was born with and get naughty with a girl..
now another diversion from the point here...I read just today that how Marriage is our national obsession and a national pastime..For a girl it particulary seems to me to be the end of the world or the strt of it..for me it looks the end of it..not that I dont want to get married..but without real love i dont see myself marrying..it will be such a drag for my wife...and with the copious amount of time i spend on my computer these dayz...and the amount of work which my job will mount on me..i dont see my self getting towards this any sooner..Also I met this PYT recently who looked pretty intelligent to me..infact pretty and intelligent..she luked career focussed and i was shocked out of my chair when she said that she wants to get into marriage and be home-oriented because she sees that women have that kind of role to play..so much for the women's reservation...how does one see the 33% filled if women of such good calibre dont rise up..for me i think women themselves will have to come up and win their right rightfully..no one will dish them out..
Anyways coming bcak to the fact about marriage...I read this today..and i must repeat it for you how if you(and me ofcourse) like someone ..we have to come to the point of marriage soon enough and propose soon...because you guessed it (our marriage-affiniated societal norms will see to it that) she gets married..this is a toss-up between a devil and a deep sea..to be precise..

I have been inspired to write longer blogs for some reason now..so i shall continue the spirit..
so how many birthdayz shall i see off before i get married ..lets hope its not an imaginary no.
Now coming to the main point of my bday celebrations..

lets get drunk..its been a while..

Hindi

2008-06-21T13:26:00.000+05:30

U guyz wud remember the time on DD1 wen important cricket matches were telecast and hindi commentators committed horrible horrible mistakes..
'"like this ball is going for a four.ohh but fielder is present there.."
similarly they wudnt know the names of the fielders or wud say the wrong name..
One might have expected better from the ESPN commentators since u know all that private do things better stuff.But these dayz listenining to the hindi commentary for the EURO2008 ,i just keep getting reminded of the horrid DD1 dayz..
i guess i have made my point though..

Now another point ..these dayz with so much censorship English movie love scenes are giving their hindi movie counterparts a tough competition..The scenes end with them just kissing and nothing comes thereafter..there is a dead dark like in our hindi movies..But atleast our hindi movies have songs...earliear english movies made up for this by putting in good love making scenes:P

Gift

2008-06-16T21:23:00.001+05:30

Now lemme start by telling you that I have not really celebrated my bday as i used to when i was kid by having a bday bash.Then I used to get gifts and all frm everyone.
But for the last around 8 years I havent had a bday bash ..mostly dinner for friends and family and I buy myself stuff that day itself.I did not really realize this until last couple of years.
A couple of years back a girl asked me what I wanted as a bday gift..and I was like anything you feel like..and she says that I cud have anything..I said that she is intelligent enuf and cud jst give me anything she feels is gud fr me..
Now cut to my bday last year...I gave a lunch treat to a couple of my gud friends and they gave me a small gift..I did not even expect it ..but the moment was so compelling to me in the sense that I had not had a gift in so many years that it really touched my heart..I had become so used to just celebrate it with my frens with a food and what not(minus the gifts..) that I had just forgotten the importance of a gift.
this year again i was asked the same thing by another girl..and again i ws dumbfounded..
But i jst realized that gifts howsoever small mean a lot ..and though i have written this before my bday I dont want anyone to read this and give me sympathy gifts..
Though I will never forget the gift I recieved last year..

Love

2008-06-14T19:14:00.000+05:30

Now I had this thought which came to my mind about love being a kind of fleeting feeling.
It has one of the basis as the fact that, or infact an opinion, a guy and a girl can remain good friends only if they do not like each other.
So now ..
Assume that the friendship between a girl and boy is like two trains approaching each other with different speeds and each one having different stoppages.Love is also a station which both of them cross ..But it becomes love only if they are at it at the same time.So either the guy waits there or vice versa or both of them are there at it at the same time.Its at this station of love that their hearts as passengers cross over and enter into the other person's train(of thoughts).Love remains as long as they are in each other's train.
Love may not come in certain situations like if the one of the trains stops at some other station ..so they remain friends only.Or maybe they cross each at a different stations or the trains may just not meet since they maybe diverted to other rail tracks.
Though I am still unable to put words to how exactly the feeling of love is fleeting..

THe SUpper FActory

2008-05-07T01:58:00.001+05:30

Well ..now by my looks i dont exactly look like a food guy..and neither am i really..

But i do enjoy sm special dishes..and the best ones are by my dad:))Actually wen my mum isnt around I avoid going home precisely for this reason..already i have to suffer the mess food.and then Dad special is anytime inedible.

Some time back we went to The Supper Factory.Its a sort of restobar-disc.Now the hot point of discussion amongst us was is the dress code applicable to girls also applicable to guys also.Well a friend of mine ws turned away becoz he ws wearing a Capri.Bt girls wear shorter,non-existent ones and they are allowed in.Anyways, the manager finally allowed him in.but coming back to the point on should girls be allowed indian dresses in CLubs..I think they should be since we are a liberal country and everyone should be allowed to wear what they want to if they do not insult /harm someone as a result.To counter this a friend suggested that like this helmets should not be made compulsory since ppl should be allowed to think of their safety on their own ...I am not convinced but i dont really have any gud enuf point to counter it...Please tell me some points...

Modifying History

2008-02-19T23:12:00.000+05:30

Now ppl call me sceptic or cynic bt thats the way i am...The thing is that I have been watching a lot of these WW2 documentaries and wat and where Hitler went wrong..and I look at most of them with sceptism.
I dont know if I am being too obvious ..bt i jst think that watever is being presented to us is wat the americans and russians wanted us to see as having being happened in WW2.Its like if Hitler had won he would have changed it himself..jst a thought which I wanted to pen down.

I stole a Tag:)

Am i getting fatttttttttttttt

2008-02-18T15:53:00.000+05:30

I used to have this obsession with my weight ever since 10th class..I hav had a constant weight of 62 kgs since then for the past 7-8 years.

But I have suddenly reached 68 Kgs and now I have hit the scales again.I have now started cheking my BMI(Body-Mass Index) everyday(For starters this is there on my phone so I am all the time calculating it..its arnd 22 rite now which is fairly good.)Bt i just need a few more kilos (3 to be exact) wen i cross the BMI=23 level..THis is the best BMI and the Maxmimum healthy BMI for us asians..(Europeans and Americans are allowed a BMI of 25 which is a weight of 76 kgs for my height)..

Now I am not here to advertise my good stats(which are perfect as of now:) )..bt to discuss the possiblity of me joining the Obese/Fat ppl gang who try Atkins and other diets//

I am trying to cut on my fat intake..hav taken to walking...reduced eating after a level...

Now suddenly I am being reminded of Snehashish on the TV-show Roadies and how I could poosibly end up and now also of the contest biggest loser jeetega...Damn it I think I will go and exercise now

Operation Desert Storm and i dunno wat all random heading u cud giv to this blog

2008-01-29T23:46:00.003+05:30

Now this is a personality test..you have to imagine a few things..it depicted my mindset for sure..u chek urs ///
First imagine a desert ...tell wat kind it is..
Wat I imagined was a big desert like Agraba of Aladin ...
Then think of a cube..where is it.wat dimensions is it...in the air or on ground...what texture and wat stuff it is made up of
I imagined a ice cube which is melting away and is in the centre of the desert..and is transparent..and a pretty smal cube.
at all times you should remember that u hav to tell the first thing that comes to your mind..
now imagine a ladder,its orientation wrt to cube..its dimensions ..
I imagined a ladder which was abt 10ft and wasnt near the cube...
now imagine a buunch of flowers,their types..how many kinda flowers ..colours..etc orientation wrt to the cube..
I imagined flowers of different kinds...blue purple tulips.red roses and yellow daffodils..
Now imagine a desrt storm...tell me abt its details.
i imagined one which was far awy and going away ....
Now the last part...imagine a horse...wat kinds..standing walking...and orientation wrt to the cube..if its wearing a saddle...
I imagined a stationary horse with a saddle..

Now here is the interpretation..every1 is entitled for his or her own..
The cube represent ur ego...its dimensions represnts the size of ur ego....and everything's orientation is checked wrt to the cube...
so mine is small ego and transparent personality...speaks wat i have in my mind..(pretty true since that is my new year resolution..)..my cube ws on grnd so i stay with the practicalities..
ladder represents ur ambition.,..i have big ambitions..bt since its nowhere near the cube..it tells that i am dreaming too high mayb..if its proportional to the cube and inclined on the cube then it tells that u r aiming and going right..
then the flowers tell that i have different kinds of groups of friends..since i have different types of flowers...and their brightness tells us that they are effervescent personalities..
the storm represents the problems in ur life..in my case it says that the storm is going away..and its far away frm the cube tells that it is far away frm me..
and last bt not the least horse represnts the love interest..in my case its not near my cube aka ego..and its standing neither coming towards me nor going away...and saddle represents mine is controlled love and not raw love..anywayz i agree with most of the findings...
Now I tag Sachi Mahajan to do the same..

Accented Jobless

2008-01-27T01:32:00.001+05:30

I have had a gala time in the last 1 weeek...I dint get to meet sarkozy or actually get anywhere near him(since he ditched us)..and neither dint bruni show up..bt I am kinda hoping tht I mite see them both in Mumbai..if today's TOI is to believed which i really want to..I dint get particulalrly drunk ..bt I had a time..and I am also done with I keep getting these gud old times once in a while u see ...I also am done with the job treat that i owed to my friends so now I can really,truly go for the kill in the parties to be thrown by my friends(U know wat i mean..eating and eating their money:P )

I jst realized that I am a just another jobless guy..I got this comment frm a PYT a couple of nights before and there is nothing that cud be elaborated abt it..means I have tried to reason it out ..bt alas..I cant really make anything out of it...I now look at every action of mine as just another thing done by a jobless guy ...and on the top of it I gave one of my top notch secrets abt an incident in my first year like a novice to this lady..and I keep getting my leg pulled by her(really pathetic condition tht I am in)..
before this i did recieve sm more comments abt myself...like I talk in an accented way...speaking of which I do enjoy tht...like I try this really bad version of the arabic/palestinian accent..and smtimes i do this angrez ki aulad wala version:))
anyways I will take off for now..

Shop-Exchanging

2008-01-22T21:31:00.001+05:30

I have done shop lifting and I have done shop exchanging..
Now there are many aspects to shop lifitng..first of all locate the cameras..then have smthing where u will hide ur pick..and then jst get out of there without getting any attention..u can better the art..u can buy smthing cheap over there so no one will have any doubt..

Now abt Shop exchanging...
Its like I bought a lee jeans the previous day and I am wearing tht,...and today I found a better wrangler jeans..so its obvious wat i did..:)
