<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Those tears will fall
again tomorrow,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
These words will seem
hollow.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I slowly rebuilt the
walls tonight,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
My salty tears
mending each joint.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The travesty of
selfishness is beautiful,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It lunges at you
every dying moment.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I have yet again
kicked myself,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
My drowning has been
in my own concoction.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Obviously yet again
caring was my folly,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
But this folly is an
ancient phenomenon.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
How do I explain my
chronic paranoia?</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Is there even a
solution to my life’s parabola.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
These paradoxes
scream at me aloud—</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Aloud asking me to be
my father.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The man I fathom over
many instances,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Seems like the winner
of my battle cases.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I don’t wish to accept
those rotten conclusions,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
My outlook can’t be
doused with those illusions.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I have fought long
and hard enough,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The end will surely
be even crueler.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I am not here to
judge or convince someone,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Let me hope that I learnt
my lesson this once.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Yes, all my words
seem dipped in negativity,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
You perhaps can’t
read my broken history.</div>
</div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Write a resolution a
day in your diary,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Hath said in the past
my mother dearie.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Except now that
resolution is a status,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
That diary galvanized
into a Facebook update.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Facebook the child of
an introvert,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The father of layered
hidden agendas.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Brother of all misconceptions
and assumptions,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Death of all that was
left sincere and honest.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I declare my vanity
too often here,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Horror likes and
stupid comments torment my fears.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
My gaze stalking over
that petite blue <b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">F</span></b>uck,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Waiting for it to
unzip that silly red numbered hole.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I don’t know how far I
am dissolved,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Have I lost myself to
the blue sea of rubbish?</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I am searching for my
burnt sincerity—</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Sincerity or whatever
is left or my true personality.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I sit amidst the same
clockwork buggers,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
My eyes scan through
a blue flock of liars.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Do I hate Facebook
like all others?</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
No, my friend I am yet
another introvert like Zuckerberg.</div>
</div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Care for a drink with
this pennyless wordsmith?</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Only if shaken not
stirred with your heart.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I guffawed with my
giant inhibitions,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
You giggled with
small proclamations.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Yes, it was more
beautiful than a Fitzgerald novel,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Yet that was about
the most novel part of all.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
You stifled my voice,
you crushed my emotions,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Yes, you devised my
mental castration.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
My misery was not for
you to judge,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The history had
clearly not taught you much.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Your arrogance
created a fog of falsehood,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I did not identify
anymore the gentle womanhood.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I don’t hate you like
those before,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Maybe repetition has
calmed me down more.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I strum my fungusful
guitar, I stroke my broken piano keys,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
No, I am not writing
a melody but your forsaken eulogy.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Damn! You for all
those years of mine,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Curse you for not
showing your true spine.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
You had no right to
leave me so early,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The promise was to be
together in even a death so grisly. </div>
</div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
O! Cacophonic beauty
of mine,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
You dish it out in
line.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Chaos amok from 0800
to 2100,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Peace galore for the
rest of the period.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The searing halogens
kill my eyes,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Rumbling honks crackling
in the eardrums.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Yet, when I stand
where the moon shines,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
There lies the proof
of life.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
When I lie in your
arms,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
You caress me with
heat and dust.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Your gaze reflects a
million abrupt faces—</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Faces irritated with
the monotony of their days.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
You hold my hand and
show me a thousand stories,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
There sits a peaceful
pawnbroker, there lies a hungry beggar.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
On Friday nights you
show me those drowning sorrows,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
And on Monday
mornings those looking for blessings to borrow.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
You adorn yourself
with foolish lights,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The shrieking horns
feeding your gargantuan diet.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Man whores around in
your filthy roads—</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Roads moving away
from his goals.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Yet there will be
those who shun you,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
And oh! Yes certainly
those who bend before.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
But keep that free
beggar in mind; keep that peaceful broker in tow,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
There will rise a
cure to your disease.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Who am I? You might
cheekily wonder,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Yes, darling I am
your biggest blunder.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I am that silent
voice of hope in me,</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
My will has not yet
broken in front of thee.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hello Larry! My name is silence--</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Silence, yes call me that for now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wish for us to be exclusive</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But let's draw first the veil of anonymity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will juggle this puzzle for you,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Swing those volatile memories for us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hold your hand below that memory stream,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tell me does friendship flow within.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why did you tell me about possibility?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When all I could feel was your deniability.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why serenade me with those motion pictures?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When friendship was nothing but a pit-stop for us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Does the pain writhe in your conscience?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Has guilt yet skittled through the memories?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course not! It is after all just time--</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Time yet another bigoted dimension of irony.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
May I tell you of my painful seconds?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No, you probably ran away minutes ago.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh wait! You didn't know that I was blind,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That I am the wandering silent poet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For you, this poet is lunatic hazy,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For me I am a lot of cacophony.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My words need to find the beach, Larry--</div>
Larry, the ocean has pulled me too far from everybody.</div>

There are a few puddles along the way,<br />
trees weaving in and out of the highway.<br />
It's that docile distance between us,<br />
yet restrictions cloud its coverage.<br />
<br />
Pain and misery have been happily married,<br />
they have plagued me more and more often,<br />
i know now of thy saintly sacrifice--<br />
sacrifice worthy of written by a scribe.<br />
<br />
Love bloomed in for me late,<br />
there were more roses amongst thorns,<br />
a few lucid thoughts led to marriage,<br />
purity and love lushing over my happiness.<br />
<br />
Yet, there was one beautiful thorn,<br />
which kept reminding her of an old song.<br />
There were hazy good memories<br />
and threw her into one wild tizzy.<br />
<br />
Was there an end to this symphony?<br />
Or is it another incomplete epiphany.<br />
There can't be another incomplete melody,<br />
His heart won't survive another minute long.<br />
<br />
These few months had changed his heart and self,<br />
there were habits gone, there were habits born.<br />
These few lines won't change history<br />
but atleast here flake can be whisky's.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>

I mean you can watch "a walk to remember", "notting hill”, "40 days and 40 nights" but I think you will always yearn for the larger than life clichés of bollywood. <br /><br /><br />I mean there is a certain charm about Raj the London born playboy son of rich father (yeah I know goddamn it right) travels all the way to the lush farms Of Punjab to get his simran back. The thing is that we Indians get extremely melodramatic after watching this lovely over the top movies. I mean we Indian boys have real hard time with the girls. For example the girls have over the top demands, like woo them with bouquet of roses, expensive gifts. C’mon gals all of us are not sada munda amir pyon da. <br /><br /><br />I love bollywood movies for one fact I love women in chiffon saris they look beautiful in it, or else it's a complete waste of time unless you are in for some peppy bollywood music. now let's do some more analysis, for example like the shayari of Urdu which our dear Indian heroes quote, c'mon man those are written by writers who are paid for writing those 2 lines. I just wish all the girls would not wait for us to come out with something so melodramatic. Then of course ah! how could I forget the new six pack syndrome, ok 1 fine, 2 it's cool,3 let it go but all of them, it's like all the bollywood heroes are descendents of Greek gods and like I said before so now it's our pristine honour now to work out like a pig to get those 6 ABS for our girls.<br /><br /><br />The silliest thing about bollywood is there is hardly any uncertainty in the plot. Yes, movies especially in India are supposed to have a happy ending, but maybe for a change there should be some cinema which forces the viewers to think. Though everything has not gone down the drain there are several actors, film-makers who do believe in the fine art of making sensible cinema. <br /><br /><br />Bollywood yes, with its dance and music has of course won a billion hearts. Yes, we Indian guys don't exactly have a gala time with girls after the girls watch their ShahRukh, Salman, Ranbir or whoever but we still dig watching them with a bucket of popcorn. The bollywood charm really bugs everybody including me who hates those mushy dialogues and infinite bank balance of the hero. The great badshah of bollywood himself said I want to act in as many movies about romance as I can because I would like to discover all the ways of romancing a woman, I felt like saying sire maybe instead of that you would try and increase your repertoire as an actor.<br /><br /><br />The funniest part is once I was discussing bollywood with a friend of mine from Holland and she said ANjaana ANjaani, is a chick flick; I was gaping wide at her and at the same time laughing my heart out. I mean it's very hard to dig out movies in bollywood which don't have love involved in them or in simple lay man terms running behind the girl around the trees. Look I don't want to sound a spoilsport, yes, even I like a few occasional movies for example- Rang de Basanti, 3 idiots, Taare Zameen Par.....but bollywood needs to come of age and ya some actors should try and learn acting for a change, lol.....prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251677354990894424.post-45712788034764117212010-11-07T18:29:00.002+05:302010-11-07T21:12:51.958+05:30The Emotion Called FATE!!!!The travesty of fate is an old agony, you never know what incident is going to afflict your normal schedule and affect it, what winds of change are going to blow your way.<br /><br />The world is apprehensive to changes; it never will accept changes which are radical in nature. Humans prefer to keep themselves in the cocoon of protection that is not affected by changes; therefore they are unable to deal with what changes fate might hold for them in future. <br /><br />It’s disheartening to see that people resign to their needs rather than their interests. Perhaps they cannot be blamed, for humans are always taught to secure their fate first rather than their interests.<br /><br />Unrealistic ambitions, dreams are often dismissed as the whims of the weak. I hope, dream and pray for a day when humans won't resign themselves to the fear of failure and rather gather courage to battle the uncertainties of life and carve out a life where they will not be scared of changes and masters of their own fate.prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251677354990894424.post-42998006264500809912010-05-31T06:49:00.002+05:302010-05-31T06:52:55.181+05:30FoRgiVeNesS(Ephesians 4:32) 32 and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.<br /><br />This is perhaps one of those million quotes about forgiveness which are there in religious books, yet we humans are so skeptic in nature to adhere to it. There is a theory amongst theologists that god had laid down all the requisite instructions to reach closer to him in the religious books. I absolutely agree with it. There are a wide range of good things that the almighty requests of the humble human beings, but forgiveness is one of the most important amongst them.<br /><br />Let’s do a bit of case study. How many times in a day do we have the opportunity to forgive ourselves or others, I would suggest many. It’s in human nature to err but perhaps to forgive is not so easily forged into the human thinking. I don’t blame anybody for not being able to do so, because had we been able to forgive so easily we all would have walked one step closer to god. Even Mahatma Gandhi didn’t forgive and forget easily, he often punished himself with penance for some of his wrong deeds which he committed when he was young. My context is always coming back to one point that the one who forgives rises above everybody else.<br /><br />My constant advocating of the fact that forgiveness is a great healer doesn’t mean that people should use that as an opportunity to commit as heinous crimes as possible. Nope but we can also see that forgiveness can be painful for the one who is being forgiven. I remember a childhood story where I was told that there was a son who forgave the murderer of his parents for what he did, and helped in his rehabilitation, the story ended with the murderer committing suicide and leaving a note behind saying the pain and guilt of such life was not better than death.<br /><br />Relations are always in dire need of forgiveness, but alas I have seen a few which fall short in it. Anguished parents, hapless boyfriends/girlfriends, angry managers, tensed coaches, I often wonder how these people find forgiveness for others or each other.<br /><br />There are some people who call it as a sign of weakness; some people think that those who don’t take revenge or punish others for a mistake are weak. Maybe, in some cases they maybe true but they need to rethink their decision, forgiveness my friend requires a trench of courage, loyalty, broad-mindedness, trust and many more things. Before we learn to forgive we need to learn a lot of other things.<br /><br />I feel the world needs to forgive and forget. A lot of bloodshed, a lot of pain, a lot of mistrust could have been solved if we could just forgive. Learn to forgive my friends………..prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251677354990894424.post-37548134232294129682009-10-24T21:09:00.001+05:302009-10-24T21:12:02.087+05:30Autumn Leaf!!!!I am withered and old,<br />Devoid of the joy and soul, <br /><br />I fly around with my brother air<br />Seeking solace in some lonely chair,<br /><br />Mother Nature announced my end<br />When she blew her autumn clarion,<br /><br /> My life has been a meandering river<br />Twists and turns with a few rocks in between,<br /><br />Alas!!

Well confused?? hehe......let me elaborate, I have no intention to explore the culinary angles of the tears but the factors which stimulate it in us and why sometimes we refrain from it...anger, frustration, joy, sadness, laughter and millions of feelings maybe attached with it. The human being is a self-aware mammal, and therefore crying comes naturally to it. <br /><br />Most of the time tear comes to us when we feel that emotional CLOT in us, yeah I am sure each of us is familiar with it. The feeling can be extremely beautiful or exactly vice versa. I am half-confused whether I should club anger, frustration or sadness together or leave them alone, because tears shed by them maybe indifferent but the intensity of emotions behind them are miles apart from each other.<br /><br />Science says, “crying is beneficial to health and mental well-being". Then why does society have to stop from people from letting that CLOT out, the emotions inside us, whatever they maybe always want to be let out. Am not suggesting that fill up buckets of tears when you are feeling something but let it out, it’s better that way. I know the world is selfish and it's hard to say things but my friends it's not wrong to cry. Since, birth we are asked to stop crying and get a hold of ourselves that is perfectly all right, but parents, teachers and all those who help us in evolving as a person maybe sometimes you should evaluate the situation and let the emotions flow.<br /><br />I know many who would quickly contradict me saying crying makes you weaker, your emotions are an open book and you have no control on yourself. I would like to ask them, in what exactly are they taking pride in, that they are strong, stone hearted cold hearted beasts who have locked away their emotions in the depths of their ice-cold heart or a hollow individual who feels everything inside and can't let it out.<br /><br />in the process of writing this post, I realised there is not much to evaluate in the feelings behind tears because tears is a gift from god which is a lifeline for us in the worst or the best of the conditions, people might often say that they feel better after shedding a few tears but the same population might be afraid to declare or in better words endorse tears.....<br /><br />suicides, murder and several things have become a bane to the society, but maybe the society needs to learn that they need to first readily first accept emotions of all kinds and maybe instil a sense of confidence in people who require it. Maybe it should lend a shoulder when someone wants to CRY their heart out!!!<br />PS: I have been gone a while from blogosphere it’s good to be back...prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251677354990894424.post-23565115419090901202009-07-17T13:27:00.000+05:302009-07-17T13:28:40.540+05:30Samaritan or Stalker !!!I have seen several people suffering from this enigma; I feel it is an emotion which no person can understand. I am not very sure this post has a direction but it definitely has a purpose, I understand that people often try to connect with the one they care about. But the sheer inability of those who are cared about to understand this situation is mind baffling.<br /><br />There are several ways to identify personalities like these, for example they may not be the most charismatic personality around but they do have a presence, they often try to make conversations with you and if you give them a hint of your friendship they try to rip out all the classic details out of you. Now you might say these are the characteristics of a stalker, who is obsessed with the person he/she stalks.<br /><br />But I say maybe we should try and understand the thin line a person straddles upon when he is obsessed about somebody and when he is caring about somebody. I am not saying he might be the nicest person around but maybe we could understand his whole bag of emotions if we just gave him one chance to connect with us, he might appear irritating at first but then when you start understanding him you see that whenever you are falling of the cliff there is always a hand to bring you up. <br /><br />What more can we ask for? All our life we search for somebody we can rely on, somebody we know who will stand behind us even when the winds of time are blowing against us. But we often look at the wrong place.<br /><br />This maybe the dilemma of the person who is being cared about but what about the one, the one who cares, I feel they are the one who face greater misery. they care, they help and yet they often find themselves as second fiddle in all situations, it is often said when you care about somebody, you should not expect anything in return, but the human mind is inclined to think the other way. Even the wisest may feel that they deserve a minimal friendship in return of their feelings. I think this maybe the only negative shade in their character, though I think it maybe the most pivotal point of their character.<br /><br />You know even after writing this I can see as a neutral judge more negative shades then positive in their characters, but I think it is the positive side which remains unexplored, so friends look around your best mate or companion might be standing round the corner!!!!!prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251677354990894424.post-14213652038461767052009-07-10T21:39:00.002+05:302009-07-10T21:48:09.029+05:30taggy taggy tag part-2 !!!Well lots of tag writing for now because the ideas of a new post are still swirling inside my head, so thanks Sheba for tagging me for the 15 books tag. I love books so it would be lovely to share some of the books I have read, here is the list which captivated my mind:-<br /><br /><br />1. Harry potter series by J.K.Rowling<br /><br />At one point of time I thought it was my teenage fantasy which made me like Harry Potter, but no I think I fell for the lucid writing of J.K.Rowling which created Hogwarts castle and mounds of adventures in my mind, she will remain my favourite author because she pushed my imagination and made me a novel-addict.<br /><br /><br /><br />2. The day after tomorrow by Allan Folsom<br /><br />This sci-thriller has got such twists and turns that you won’t be able to let go of it. The author has brilliantly mingled some historical notions with modern science; I think it’s an interesting piece of work.<br /><br /><br /><br />3. Lord of the rings by J.R.R.Tolkien<br /><br />This saga written by Tolkien is the most interesting piece of fiction I have read, the man is a genius, created a whole new world, created a new language, he has intertwined fables with nature, when you read his book the next time you travel through a mountain or a forest you might feel a tinge of mystery around you. Lord of the rings is different; it’s a class apart, though fiction, the standards set by it are very high. A must read<br /><br /><br /><br />4. Angels and demons by Dan Brown<br /><br />I had the luck of reading this prequel of Da Vinci code before the sequel, if you love history, you will be amazed by the large dollops of historical information given in it. Dan Brown provokes you to question your beliefs. He has shaken the core of Christendom with this novel...<br /><br /><br /><br />5. Artemis fowl by Eoin Colfer<br /><br />Well we grow up listening to fairy tales from our parents. Just add some guns and high grade technology to the fairies and human beings. That in a way is Artemis Fowl for you, the sheer brilliance of the human brain and the high-end sci-fiction stuff are too potent a mixture and have been brilliantly shown by Eoin Colfer.<br /><br /><br /><br />6. The complete adventures of Feluda by Satyajit Ray<br /><br />Perhaps desi-Sherlock Holmes that's the perfect word to describe Feluda, while reading you might find sharp coincidences with Sherlock Holmes, but the desi flavour added by Satyajit Ray changes the scenario. It’s a delightful book and because I am a Bengali I know this Feluda is a household name in west Bengal. Good book :)<br /><br /><br /><br />7. The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie<br /><br />Well Mr. Rushdie writes a total different genre of fiction, this book takes us back into the royal household of Mughal Sultanate. I think the royal splendour of the Mughal court has been shown brilliantly. The book is a love story spread through seven lands and seas, and i am sure anyone who reads it will be captivated by it.<br /><br /><br /><br />8. Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai<br /><br />This booker price winning novel will enthral you with its beautiful captivating narration. Set in the planes of the Himalayas, the harsh realities of communist Nepal and the mind of a teenage girl comes into conflict with each other. It may be fiction but it contains a few realities.<br /><br /><br /><br />9. Five point someone by Chetan Bhagat<br /><br />The most fun-filled and humorous novel I have ever read. The book used to leave me in splits sometimes. Chetan Bhagat’s description of the neo-Indian is apt. I often read it whenever I think I need a dose of feel good factor.<br /><br /><br /><br />10. The Last Mughal by William Darymple (non-fiction)<br /><br />The revolt of 1857 and the Mughal sultanate, I think these two words are the most I can think of. The emotions William has put in this book are wonderful. I felt proud to be an Indian once more because of the history I am associated to!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />11. The Godfather by Mario puzo<br /><br />3 Hollywood movies have been devoted to this book and they all became cult classics. Needless to say mafia was immortalised by Mario puzo on the Godfather.<br /><br /><br /><br />12. The famous five and the secret seven by Enid Blyton<br /><br />This lady deserves some credit; she is a darling in the hearts of all the readers. Everybody has read these books sometime or the other so I don’t need to say how good <br />they are.<br /><br /><br /><br />13. The midnight’s children by Salman Rushdie<br /><br />The book brings out the true voice of India. I think this book shows salman at his best. Though am still reading it, its fast climbing the stairs of my favourite book.<br /><br /><br /><br />14. The god of small things by Arundhati Roy<br /><br />Arundhati Roy gives us a literary masterpiece. I have read many novels, but this book took a lot time to understand, I had to re-read it twice before I could rip open the Pandora’s Box of emotion she has put in it. It’s simply beautiful...<br /><br /><br />15. Hardy Boys by Franklin. W. Dixon<br /><br />The hardy boys were the first novels I read. The sheer masculinity of the books was a thing I enjoyed, because at 13 or 14 every boy would like to become a macho man!!!<br /><br />This finishes my list of 15 and I think I really enjoyed digging into the past and write about these novels...........they are masterpieces for me because like I said before they have helped me enjoy the world of imagination.........prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251677354990894424.post-46189110353491988152009-07-07T13:40:00.003+05:302009-07-07T13:53:59.372+05:30taggy taggy tag!!!Q: When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought? <br />A: I need a shave; the beard makes me look crooked!!!!<br /><br />Q: How much cash do you have in your wallet right now? <br />A: Rs. 500-600<br /><br />Q: What’s a word that rhymes with DOOR? <br />A: Bore<br /><br />Q: What is your favourite ring tone on your phone? <br />A: Nokia- connecting people :)<br /><br />Q: Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your cell phone? <br />A: well have no 4th only one!!!<br /><br />Q: What are you wearing right now? <br />A: jersey and Capri<br /><br />Q: Do you label yourself? <br />A: depends on my mood.......<br /><br />Q: Name the brand of the shoes you currently own? <br />A: Nike<br /><br />Q: Bright or Dark Room? <br />A: well depends on what am doing.....<br /><br />Q: What do you think about the person who took this survey before you? <br />A: the most wela (useless) person, who has so much time to think of all this??<br /><br />Q: What does your watch look like? <br />A: well it has got a large dial and silver metallic straps, its one of those man watches!!!<br /><br />Q: What were you doing at midnight last night? <br />A: reading blogs, chatting with friends!!<br /><br />Q: What did your last text message you received on your cell say? <br />A: deleted the whole bunch of messages right now<br /><br />Q: What’s a word that you say a lot? <br />A: holy crap!!<br /><br />Q: Who told you he/she loved you last?

A price which will remain always be beyond the realm of human mind. The whole human race runs frantically behind happiness. I find it as precious as Holy Grail; everybody tries to find it to satisfy his or her fill of greed of happiness. But you ask a 10 year old kid or a seasoned 80 year old man they both will tell you the same thing, they wish happiness would be intertwined in every aspect of their life. But what exactly is the price of happiness?<br /><br /> The Greeks used to believe that a living body can't achieve the happiness until death. I am not advocating death over here to achieve happiness. People are often obsessed with afterlife or what should be their karma in order to obtain a place in heaven with their god. I don't blame the common man for being so obsessed. These days you will find the common man spending lump some amount on havans or other forms of worship to satisfy god. People are so busy reading the rules of bhagwad gita, bible and Quran that they forget the true meaning of the books.<br /><br />What is the motive of all this? To have a good happiness filled life and spend the afterlife with god in heaven that's all? Maybe people should try and reach out the true meaning of those books. People in this frantic search for happiness are often surprised that these holy books only tell them what they already know. But think again are we truly upholding the meaning of these books. One of my friends told me a very simple thing," maybe you think of your life in a me-centric manner".<br /><br /> I am not one of the best believers around. But I believe there is something which created all this we have today, I don't wish to know what it is, but yah something is up there which made us. People have given it names some call him Jesus, some call him Allah. I call him creator. I won't say the holy books are a guideline from him. But maybe if we could derive the true meaning of those books, we could live in a state of truth rather than in a state of denial. I believe happiness is something which we shouldn't chase; rather we should wait for it to come to us.<br /><br />I may sound confused but all I am saying is lets try to live a true good life, life which is lived for upholding the true values is 10 times better than life lived chasing a false dream.prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251677354990894424.post-18605561877773899692009-06-05T21:22:00.001+05:302009-06-05T21:30:45.959+05:30Mystery of SolitudeSolitude is it good, is it bad? Most of us would say that it is bad, but I prefer solitude, it gives you freedom to think, the eerie nature of silence helps in breaking down the most complex of the problems, I do not disagree that solitude might make you depressed and anguished. Solitude sounds dark in nature, but it is like a dark tunnel which ends in bright light.<br /><br />The pressure of daily life is enormous, it may get to you sometimes, so I feel the best way to get some respite is to get away from the entire hustle bustle and stay in solitude for sometime. To achieve a future image of the consequences of your action, solitude is the best solution. Solitude doesn’t have to be necessarily evil<br /><br />I think to be strong in your weakest moments is a great virtue which can be achieved only by few. The state of solitude might sometimes bring out the worst in you. For some it might be fear, for some it might be boredom and the list is endless but those who conquer this never fail in life. <br /><br />Think of it why do authors, scientists like to work alone, because in that moment of silence they try to create a world of their own and calculate infinite possibilities of their work. I myself have seen it, when am alone away from the crowd I often create a world of my own, the world of imagination, I think of the impossible and gain satisfaction. Our dear former president Dr. A.P.J.Kalam says it’s good to dream.<br /><br />I don’t think everybody will agree to this dark thinking. But many would definitely feel that there is an uncanny coincidence between the article and their life. I feel what is dark may not necessarily be dark, because there is light even in the darkest corner of the earth.prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251677354990894424.post-50512783938982371702009-05-10T19:55:00.001+05:302009-05-10T19:58:51.136+05:30The ambiguity of thoughtsYour action determines your character, is a well known proverb. But are thoughts nothing? Sometimes we are asked to think less and to work more, but then is that not the symptoms of a monotonous life.<br /><br />Great thinkers like Voltaire, Chanakya changed the rules of the society, Isaac Newton discovered gravity beneath a tree, and Schrodinger made up a whole equation while sitting in his room. This proves that much of the human mind remains undiscovered. Society tends to create norms and people who think differently are shunned. <br /><br />I have frequently observed brilliant sportsmen; actors and writers fade away into stereotype careers to earn daily bread and butter. But then manipulation of thoughts begins with birth, a child may say he wants to be air-force pilot one day and by the time he reaches high school he might end up saying that its better to be engineer or a doctor. <br /><br />We need to develop thinking amongst the young. They need to learn about a world apart from the regular one. You never know which thought sparks a new revolution, thoughts were the core of the renaissance, and look what it gave us Da Vinci, Michelangelo and many more. They gave us such masterpieces that even today people look at them in awe.<br /><br />The modern education was developed with the principle value of turning great thoughts into action, its sole desire was to have more of Tagores , Chandrashekhars in our country. But as time progressed younglings of our country buried their thoughts and immersed themselves into a stereotype routine.<br /><br />“Dare to think different”, I think this should be promoted, it might solve many of our problems, like the unemployment caused by the recession.<br /><br />Thoughts is a vast subject, it has no easy way to be unlocked. So maybe we should try to devote some of our time to understand it, people misunderstand thoughts, they forget massive powers like the laws of attraction are related to it. <br /><br />Do not doubt your thoughts, give it a rational view, try and explore your thoughts, who knows what thought may change your life!!!!!prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251677354990894424.post-54717688739196711662009-04-15T14:08:00.000+05:302009-04-15T14:11:14.055+05:30The World Of NovelsBlogging is a new hobby but reading books has been my hobby since fifth grade, and frankly for me there is no better past-time than reading books. I would like to thank and bless my English teacher of fifth grade who encouraged me to read books.<br /><br />Of courses it was love at first sight. I just love reading; the words of Enid Blyton wove around in my mind a wonderful picture of imagination and possibilities. I loved it all and of course i was a teenager, every dream is true at that age. Well novels really formed an integral part of my life. Like a Christmas gift came Harry Potter. Boy!! J.K.Rowling really is a genius. The way she wrote was mind-boggling. I used to be so engrossed in reading the book that i used to lose track of time. <br /><br />My parents were puzzled by the fact that there son couldn’t bring the same sincerity in his studies. But how do i explain to them the addiction of reading novels. As years passed by my imagination grew and i happily ruled over my kingdom of imagination.<br /><br />I am indebted to great people like J.K.Rowling, J.R.R.Tolkien, Enid Blyton, Satyajit Ray, Jeffrey Archer and many more in honing my skills of imagination.<br /><br />For a long time i hated non-fiction, it was one of those few self-assumed notions, i had in my teenage. But i thought of treading into this area last year. This genre of novels is truly enlightening. If fiction developed my imagination, non-fiction helped me in developing my thinking. I am still exploring this genre so i will have to wait to enjoy the fruits of them!!!!<br /><br />I once read a story in which a man is kept imprisoned and is given only books to read. After the man is freed he is asked “how was your experience?” He replied,” I have eaten the most delicious cuisines, roamed the most beautiful places, danced and made love to the most beautiful ladies and fought wars alone. I have truly lived my lifetime through this books”<br /><br />The jailer was truly dumbstruck. My friends’ novels have their own world, explore it and trust me you would never want to get away from it!!!!prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251677354990894424.post-71733647963919607792009-03-17T19:36:00.002+05:302009-03-19T16:02:42.301+05:30INSECURITY-TRUSTTrust is a major issue. I don’t know about you guys but i feel there is a major scarcity of trust these days. Well everybody is befuddled by the issue of trust. This has lead to insecurity. Yes, insecurity, this simple word eats away the confidence of many a people like a worm. I know it’s a common topic but i think there should be a solution to it.<br /><br /> Okay let’s rotate the wheel of time 30 years back. Back then the child used to dutifully listen to his parents, marry the spouse they found him and lived happily after. Cut back to the present scenario, every small issue becomes a bone of discontent between parents and their child. You might say that this is only one type of insecurity, but i think according to an old saying if all is well at home, then all is well in your life.<br /><br />What should be the reason???<br /><br />Some might define it as a conflict between progressive thinking amongst the new generation and stagnant thinking by the older one. But then they score over us in many areas, like they have a better stability in life due to their stronger beliefs.<br /><br /><br />A very simple way to look at this is our belief in god. How many people do really visit temple this days, i am also a part of this crime, but i see my parents and other elder people visiting temple once a week. That’s belief and if you look around you will find many more issues similar to this.<br /><br /><br />I am not advocating the fact that we should return to the old manner of thinking, but maybe we could pick a leaf out of our older generation’s lives and bring some trust and security in our daily issues. I really want to be cent percent sure when i make a decision and feel secure like my parents and i feel everybody would like to do that.<br /><br /><br />Everybody would like a day when they don’t have to worry about their boss, a day when they won’t have to fight with their girlfriend/spouse, a day when they are able to trust a person with blind trust and a day when they can have a good night’s sleep.prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251677354990894424.post-32402469697362267612008-03-01T12:12:00.000+05:302008-03-01T12:15:01.075+05:30KaMaTh CanTeeN:MaH cOLleGe hanGouT!!!!<p class="MsoNormal">Think abt a hangout inside MIT campus............the first thing which comes into my mind is none other than kamath canteen...........one place which has been truly serving the mighty mighty MIT for generations......</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The canteen is truly a place where cultures truly met.........funny i<span style=""> </span>learnt my first kannada words at the canteen itself.......the canteen sees a flurry of activities right from 0700 hours in morning to 2230 hours in <span style=""> </span>night...........how many times have i seen students doing last minute revision while shoving a mouthful of bread pieces at the canteen during exam...........not only that<span style=""> </span>i have seen bankrupt boyfriends keeping their girl<span style=""> </span>happy with the cheap and sumptuous food available at the canteen....</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Often <span style=""> </span>the canteen authorities have to forcefully ask students to move out of the canteen because many of them would be stuck there for hours talking all they could..........i myself have been asked twice to do so because i was sitting and chatting there with my pals holding only a glass of lime soda....</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Many a times i have vented my anger over certain issues by just sitting at canteen and having a glass of water.........for me the place holds some sorts of mystical charm which helps me in<span style=""> </span>getting solution to various problems...........</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The description of kamath canteen is incomplete without a mention of the long list of items it serves to the students of this mighty mighty institution.........bhurji paratha,veg bread masala,veg bun masala,maggi,lime soda............are few of the them............trust me whenever you enter<span style=""> </span>this place.....you can hear the name of such items resonating from the lips of the students........i have a friend who is a mousumbi juice fanatic.......she comes daily <span style=""> </span>to the canteen only to have the sweet juice..........she says no other place offers better mousumbi <span style=""> </span>juice...............the quality of the food provided by the place is awesome also the cost of food is very less.....which is essential if you are serving to student who live by the motto “sasta par vadiya”......</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The thing about kamath canteen is that it is not a canteen its almost like a railway station which has seen hundreds of people come and go over the years and its still <span style=""> </span>over there to receive many more........sometimes when i<span style=""> </span>sit at the canteen i feel <span style=""> </span>proud because this is the <span style=""> </span>same place upon where some of the greatest MITians must have sat and had tea while forming gr8 ideas..........</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Officially u can’t squat outside the canteen...........but alas rules are made to be broken..........there is nothing better than sitting outside kamath canteen and having a conversation.............</p> <p class="MsoNormal">If rumours are about to be true then the canteen is supposedly to be broken and it will make way for a coffee shop..........they say “old pave the way for the new” but will that be true for this canteen which has seen generations come and go..........maybe maybe not.......till then....let me see what else can i gather abt other places in my esteemed college campus........which are visited enough but not cared to that extent!!!!!!!!!!!!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Sayonara</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Prithvi</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">PS: this being my first blog may be a little bit out of order........but i hope to get better everytime!!!!</p>prithvihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886747513082678208noreply@blogger.com2
