The Red Drop Of Tear

2010-01-05T02:15:00.003-06:00

Blood red.
Blood red, it trickled down like a lost memory trickles down the world of existence. It need not have been shed, but it was. It was shed on the unfortunate demise of Mr. Darryl.
The forgotten welcomed it into their home, deep down it lay at the roots. At the roots of the big banyan tree. The home of the tears shed. There were many, many indeed. Each carried the reason. The reason that separated the chaste from the rest. They never die. Those reasons. They never die. They will come back, those reasons to cry!

What Do I Want..

2010-01-03T23:26:00.003-06:00

I want to live in every country that exists of the face of the planet for a minimum duration of one month.
I want to write a book on the similarities and differences of cultures and traditions and hence be able to boil down to the definition of a human being!
I want to play with kids and buy them comics with lots of colorful pictures in them.
I want to bungee jump.
I want to be able to feel "Man! This is what I wanted to do for ages! This is what I want to do forever".
I want to experiance more feelings of different kinds. Right now I feel as if it's only drizzling feelings, I Want them to rain on me till I get dizzy!
I want to decorate the interiors of my own house.
I want to chat for a couple of hours with some wise, spiritual guru.
I want to sit by the sea shore and watch the colors of the sky over the sunset!
I want to tell a story about the eyes that told stories!

Happy 2010!!

SAVAGE GARDEN - Crash And Burn

2009-11-28T06:55:00.001-06:00

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild, wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't
Take anymore
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one-way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild, wild heart
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Judge Only Yourself!

2009-11-28T05:11:00.001-06:00

You may not know the innocence deep within, nor the love. Do not judge by mere appearence or behaviour!

I Am You!

2009-11-27T07:10:00.003-06:00

I am that light at the end of the tunnel,

I am the darkness in your soul,

I am your fear,

I am your prayer,

I am the clouds that pour the rain,

I am the lightening tearing that cloud,

I am the warmth holding your tear and your cheek,

I am the the tiny hole that frames your smile,

I am your desire and your discipline,

I am the taste that touches your tongue,

I am the heat that burns your finger tips,

I am the moist memory of that kiss,

I am the dreadful dream of separation,

I am the sight you saw from the mountain hill,

I am the sound of mothers tinkling bangles,

I am the presence,

I am the loneliness,

I am your eyelids that kiss one another goodnight,

I am the diminishing moon trying to be the shape of your eyelids,

I am the twinkling stars of midnight,

I am the dying sun of twilight,

I am the pink of the flamingo,

I am the broken nail of your foot,

I am the blood of your country's enemy,

I am the sorrow of the deads kin,

I am the beggars plea,

I am the murderers guilt,

I am the screw that pulls up your chair,

I am the cushion that puts you to sleep,

I am your confidence,

I am your love,

I am myself,

And yet I am you!

Now Playing..

2009-11-27T03:51:00.001-06:00

Ruck ruck ruckna na,

Juk juk jukna na,

Chalna hai chalte jana hai..

Jeete toh jeete, haare toh haare,

Har dil ko aapna banana hai!

Jhankaar Beats

Lunch Cuisines!

2009-11-25T00:16:00.001-06:00

What should I eat for lunch today? Maggi with lassi or Veg Cheese Grill Sandwich with orange juice?

Let Me Fall!

2009-11-24T06:08:00.003-06:00

It's not always important that you stand strong! Sometimes you are a stronger being if you allow yourself to flow with the circumstances. A winner is he who enjoys the lightness he experiences when nothing is in his hands!

Let me allow the gravity to win! Let me enjoy my fall! Let me allow God to execute His plan and unveil it to me in its time!

3 Things I hate about Computers and Computing

2009-11-16T03:56:00.003-06:00

Having spent around seven long years studying/staring at computers these are three things I hate related to them :

1) Architecture Diagrams.

Goodness me! Some freaking geek draws miniature shapes with innumerable lines drawn across them and every line virtually crossing every other line and we have to strike sense out of it! And then they say these drawings are to clarify concepts!!! Its more designed to make you feel like a really really small person on Earth. For every bundle of geeky brains who have drawn a visually creepy, crowded architecture diagram, dude you need anti depressant pills!!

2) Kernel

For some reason the word "kernel" sounds like something too far fetched and inaccessible to me. The "kernel", after all, is close to the hardware, isn't it? Well, it better stay there. A chill runs down my spine every time I think of kernel. Somehow reminds me of guillotines use to chop the heads of criminals. Kernels!

3) The Lack of Romance

It's unfortunate that I spend 10 hours of my day in front of a machine so dead! A machine that doesn't recognize my new earrings! A machine that doesn't cheer my successful bug solving, a machine that does nothing but give me a back pain! Only if I could spend all this time with something which was more lively, rather more alive!!!

Test Your Brain

2009-11-03T01:03:00.003-06:00

http://www.testmybrain.org/?page=home

This is an interesting site where one can "Test His/Her Brain"! I received the link long time back but landed up taking the test only today! I took the "Mystery Motion Experiment" as it assured me that it would take only 5 minutes of my time! So here is my result!

I like my imagination score! Yeeeyyiiii :P

Attention Switching Score
You had a score of 12 / 20 for attention switching ability. Based on the results we have so far, the average person who takes this test scores 11 / 20 for attention switching ability.

Imagination Score
You had a score of 16 / 20 for imagination. Based on the results we have so far, the average person who takes this test scores 11 / 20 for imagination.

Enjoyment of Social Interaction Score
You had a score of 8 / 12 for social interaction enjoyment. Based on the results we have so far, the average person who takes this test scores 6 / 12.

I realized I enjoy taking personality and this and that tests a lot. I always want to know something about myself (only the good things though :P )!

Unpleasant!

Happy Diwali

2009-10-16T03:41:00.003-05:00

<[:<))=====<

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Mango. Mango loved the festival of Deepavali and often lit many lights and filled her house with fresh flowers to celebrate one of her favorite festivals! Mango would sms all her friends and run to the phone to receive calls from her dear ones.

Mangos mother would prepare delicious lunch and make sure that all the items that Mango liked are covered in it. Mangos papa made sure that the refrigerator was full of chocolates as he knew how much Mango enjoyed them.

She was pretty bad at making rangoli, our Mango, she couldn't keep her hand steady at all! Nevertheless, with all her enthusiasm and all her spark Mango would spend hours sweating, preparing the best kind of rangoli she could. Mangos sister often mocked her saying "You are scaring the guests away with your rangoli Mango!". They both laughed and enjoyed a lot of Diwalis together.

However, this Diwali, Mango is alone, far from home. The spark however, doesn't die. Even today, as Mango watches the world lit up, from her 9Th floor cubicle, from where buildings, cars, shops everything dissolves into only a speck of light, she knows that this Diwali will be different for her. Different in terms of expression, not in terms of emotion. Different in terms of geographic location not in terms of the connections of the heart. She is alone this Diwali, but she knows that someone is lighting a lite for her, someone is saying a prayer for her, someone is celebrating for her as well!

A very very grand Diwali readers :)

Enjoy your day to the fullest and thank God for all you have at this very moment!

P.S. All the while I was writing this post I Was humming the song "Mere tumhare sab ke liye, Happy Diwali" from the movie Home Delivery!

Now is the Time!

2009-10-14T07:43:00.002-05:00

It's time I should stop being a person and start being a writer! It's time stories defeat situations!

Miracle!!

2009-10-12T08:13:00.002-05:00

I received a mail talking about a little girl who bought a miracle for 1 dollar some cents something!

Here I am waiting for a miracle too!! Just a tinie tiny miracle!

Whats Your Rashee?

2009-10-06T04:24:00.002-05:00

Honestly, after watching the promos on television I decided the movie is going to be boring! However, it was only later hat I realized that it was an Ashutosh Gowarikar (I hope I spelt the name right!) film, that was it I went and watched it. Though the film has received many a negative responses, I personally enjoyed it!

Cast
Priyanka Chopra has done a fabulous playing those 12 roles, one for each zodiac. In no role will you find any resemblance of any previous roles. Harman Baweja has acted well, danced superbly and in many a sequences terribly reminded me of Hritik Roshan!

Story
There is not much of a story, but the idea of representing each rashee through a character is very innovative and quite entertaining! The climax is totally filmy and that is what invites the bad reviews!

Creativity
A lot of creativity has been poured into the movie. Also, a highly researched movie, the gujjus out there will realize the minute details that have been taken care of. There is a symbolic representation of each zodiac before the introduction of the character which is very well portrayed and indeed intellectual.

Music
A treat for the music lovers with Sohail Sens music pretty refreshing. There's one song for each zodiac and hence each mood hence making the count to 13 whooping songs!! From salsa to melody you'll find everything in it. Simple lyrics by Javed Akhtar make it easy to relate to the songs!

All in all an entertaining movie with lots of masala!

I want to feel warm :(

2009-10-06T04:17:00.003-05:00

I want someone to write a song for me or make my painting or recite a poem for me or something special :( I want to mean the whole world to someone. I feel left out.

Am I really expecting too much? Is it too much to ask for? What do you think?

Happy Hearts!

2009-10-01T08:08:00.002-05:00

I'm happy :)

I'm happy for all those people who are happy! I'm happy for each heart that beats for love, for each action that manifests itself into a smile, for each face that turns red, for each prayer said for that someone, for each dream seen with an open eye, for each story that has a prince and a princess, for each mad command that the heart issues!

Often I like a song not for the song but the memory I have attached with it. Let me seal this happy memory with a song too:

Jo barse sapne boond boond,
Naino ko moond moond,
Kaise main chalun, dekh na sakun,
Anjaane raste,
Goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara,
Goonja sa koi iktara,
Dheeme bole koi iktara iktara,
Dheeme bole koi iktara,
Goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara!"

yeeeee!!

Moving On

2009-10-01T00:02:00.002-05:00

The world is finally moving on!

Nirma has finally changed its ad from

"washing power nirma (2)
doodh si safedi, nirma se aayi,
rangeen kapade bhi khil khil jayen,
sab ki pasand nirmaaa..
washing powder nirma (2)
NIRMA!"
to some instrumental something.

In memory of the ad I request all my readers for a 2 minutes silence!

The Jazz Trance

2009-09-24T05:44:00.003-05:00

The trumpet boldly reverberates into my veins. I feel all my muscles loosen up. The saxophone along with the drum beats slowly spread the musical drug in my body. There is a particular lethargic energy to the music. I feel both relaxed and extremely excited at the same time. The vibraphone tinkles by the notes of the piano. The entire experience is magical with the music alluring me and binding me to itself! The instruments totally complement one another and together seem to complete the universe. The notes take their own luxury and time to complete making the music sound like an elongated heaven. It's as if the notes, with their own free will, are performing a dance to seduce the skies to come and kiss the seas, so to steal the horizon from them!

Gradually the music plays slightly faster, still retaining the beat. Silence! After the peak follows a silence for a split second! Then again the same dragged notes. I feel as if I have come beyond myself. A peak where I was a complete me. The silence pushed me out of my absolute completeness and here I was, unified with the notes, floating in space!

Phew!

2009-09-23T06:51:00.004-05:00

I feel tired. I worked well yesterday so wasn't very busy today. Plan to leave early from work today!

Yawn!

P.S. My Tamil roommate pronounces khoon as koon. It sounds funny.

The 11th Man

2009-05-04T01:25:00.004-05:00

I wonder how he mussbe feeling! I hate the feeling of if-none-other-then-you! I want to feel important at my workplace! Does the 11th man actualy feel he's needed? Does he actually have hopes that he will be a part of the team someday? Well, I don't! I had read an article about basic needs of human. The last one was that of self acquisition! I guess this job doesn't satisfy that need inside me! I want to do something which only I can do the best! Something that I enjoy doing! Something that's meant for me! God, do something na!
