Nowhere!

                Let's start with how YOU read the title of this blog post. "No where" or "Now here" ? You know what you read ! Well, it's just a word that can be read any which ways, right ? Most of us would say No where! But then, maybe it also depends on how life's treating you.. If you're super optimistic and extra happy with the happenings in your life (which is seldom the case), you'd probably say Now here !

               

                Well, this post is not all about the various ways a word can be pronounced. 

                Now suppose the word to be a situation or a person in your life. Just like the word 'nowhere', which can be read in two different ways and both meaning opposites, even the perception that you have about someone or something might be entirely WRONG, though it may seem right to you.. Well, it need not be wrong all the time but there is a possibility.. 

                So, don't just stick to your perceptions, being dogmatic never helps.. 'Cause 99 out of 100 times, there is a lot more to things than what meets the eye. It's always nicer to have an open mind and not be judgmental about stuff.. Here i'm being vague by using the word "stuff" 'cause i'm not very sure about which context you'll apply this to, it's apt for ALL the possible situations though!  

P.S. And 'no where' or 'now here', you'll only see what you want to see.. Nobody apart from you has a control over it! So careful..

Cheers :)

Crush --> Crush : The Journey!

           Another boring day at college, you're loafing around in your campus and you see this really hot guy or a very cute girl AND that's it, you're crushed! You don't know the name, nor do you know the year or branch of your crush. All you know is how they look.. That's how lame crushes are and that's the best part. Fortunately or unfortunately, you can get crushed more than once at the same time, like the 'Multiple Inheritance' property of JAVA.. You like someone's smile, the other's hair and someone else's dressing.. And like hell, you like it all.. Can never adjust for just one, right?


            Well, i just got crushed! I take it slow, so just one at at time. The 'multiple inheritance' doesn't work for me. instead i prefer several 'Single Inheritances' :D


             Crushes are impulsive. You have this overwhelming momentary excitement that nothing can beat. Its the 'aaj main upar, aasma neeche' type of a feeling.. that obviously doesn't stay when the bubble breaks n you realize that you're actually neeche and the aasma is right where its supposed to be, upar.. 'Cause a crush fades away with the same speed with which it happened to you! An IF by any chance it doesn't fade, then s*** happens.. A lot of it! :P


               So, following the tradition and ethics of having a crush, i stick to the 'FADE PRINCIPLE', according to which, "If you want something new to be a part of your life, you've got to let go of something old (no matter how valuable it is)" Most people who live by this principles, are happy souls!


                My dear crushed souls, always remember.. If your crush is too busy to notice you or takes time to do so, you NEED NOT wait! Just follow THE 'Fade Principle', you'll go places :P Let the journey never end! It's fun to be crushed!


Happy Journey :D

AMARnath Sir(Uncle)..

            My life to me seemed like an unsolved jigsaw puzzle until i encountered one of the most wonderful persons on the planet earth, Amarnath Rao sir, who very elegantly assembled all the scattered pieces of my life and brought them together! Not only me, in fact he has brought about a marvelous change in many others like me who love him for all that he has to offer. More than a mentor, he has been a dear friend to us!

            Well, he presently is the "Chief Knowledge Catalyst" at "Mind Matters". Our collge made Amar sir available to us as a part of the pre-placement training. Every session of his is so enlightening, even if it includes stuff known to us, it seems so new then. 'Cause may be its just the way he puts things make them as awesome as they look to us.

            A cricket enthusiast who can give as many possible examples of Sachin & Dravid and their achievements. Even for somebody like me who despises the game, those examples seem so apt, 'cause like i said its all about how he puts it. Every session is like a surprise.. To me its like a very pretty package in a sparkling pink wrapper with a ribbon on it! I can't wait to open it.  And it always has something as precious as a valuable trinket, enclosed in it that makes me more than just happy.

            Somebody who brings out the mest in me, somebody who is always there to appreciate every little effort of mine, somebody who has time for all his students, who is always open to learning, a selfless teacher who can motivate even a rock! A person who says the right things at the right moment!

And yeah, very popular with the girls! :D

I can probably write a whole novel about him, he has etched his name in my mind forever! And forever is just the beginning.. Its hard to say goodbye, so i choose not to! 

You're our very own Shiv Khera and looking forward to many other sessions in the future! 

Thanks for everything, sir :)

YOU!

       I keep saying, "I wanna be famous", "I wanna be independent", "I wanna be filthy rich"! Blah blah blah... And i was telling this to a friend of mine the other day, he just said: "Everybody wants the exact same things, Mon"


      Not that i wasn't aware of it, but when he said that, I actually thought to myself: "You've got shitloads of competition, darling! Its not only you whose got ambitions.". Then i started doing the math in my head, which gave me an extremely HUGE number and that definitely dampened my spirits! When it's so difficult to make your mark in your own college, how hard would it be to compete with people who've got the exact same ambitions like your's from million other colleges? Huh! That feeling can be so depressing and feels like a whole of 1000 tonnes of weight on your head.


      Well, i tried comforting myself then. I realized i was thinking of what OTHERS want and what THEY'd do to get what THEY want! My focus shifted from MY ambitions to THEIR's.. Its so much like the feeling after examinations when we start cribbing over our friend's set 'cause it was easy! Why don't we evaluate our performance on our own set instead of imagining how well we would've written the exam if we got his/her set? Well, simple! I'll tell you, it's human tendency! All we do is COMPARE!


       Mum usually says, comparison is good! And that, a wise person will compare him/her-self with someone better than him/her, when he/she wants to grow and to keep him/her-self grounded, will compare him/her-self with someone better than him/her! How true! 


        Sometimes, the right attitude is all it takes, It's all within YOU! Just the way you look at things matters. The choices you make, define who you are and who you will be! 
Believe in yourself! :)

Flop plan!

      Imagine, you plan for a holiday with family or friends and make sure every detail is take care of AND then the trip gets cancelled! *BOOM* Shattered you feel, isn't it?

      Now imagine, you end up going on a trip you were just discussing, like 15 minutes back! How amazing! You bet!

Everything doesn't happen the way we expect it to happen. Sometimes, things do go in a way they are not supposed to.. But fortunately or unfortunately, no human has control on any bit of it! So, the best and the ONLY way is to live with it.. 'Cause no matter what, everything happens for a reason. Good or bad is secondary! In fact, that shouldn't be the question, just be glad you've something new to experience! :)

P.S. People become extra philosophical about stuff like this when plans get CANCELLED at the last moment! :-|

I don't know!

          Liking someone! Strange feeling... It seems funny later but it usually happens that you end up thinking only about that "someone". Your mind is so occupied by that person all the time! And every stupid romantic song you listen to... errr... Nobody will agree that they actually try hard imagining them self and that "someone" together, with that song playing in background! LOL. I know... it's so lol-able..

            Having a crush is such a bizarre feeling 'cause it doesn't last long! If fades away with the same speed in which it occurred.. Then comes another one or may be none.. But is it true that you can never forget your first ever crush? May be...  But i hardly remember my first, all i can recollect is that i told my Mum about it. :P And don't know which bug bit me after that, i developed some sort of hatred for him... I can never understand why and how can i be so fickle minded when it comes to liking people! Today i love, tomorrow i might hate! Today i hate, tomorrow i might love! Strange i am... and so are these feelings!

            The only thing i can unconditionally love on this planet is PINK (and my family, which includes every soul i consider my family)! :) *wink* I have no idea what i'm blogging (Don't ask me to get idea).. Ah! What did i start with and where did i end! See... I don't have a control on my thoughts either, I manage to divert so easily! :D

P.S. Avoid! This blog post proves the height of my joblessness! :P

Angels who make my life a Fairy Tale...

These are like the people who probably matter to me the most! 

It's a long list though.. :)

To start with,

Swathi

Oh boy! She is MOTHERLY... You can actually sing "Meri maa..", every time you see her! And i'm not kidding. I guess the word says it all, cause i don't really know another word that aptly describes her... Swathi is Mum-away-from-Mum! :P

* I often fail to express what i feel, but i can always blog! :P  I really want you to know how much you matter to me.. I'm so used to the drama, be it your extremely long texts or your never ending stories or your non-stop weeping sessions or those songs we foolishly enact... Everything! It's like a part of my life now! I somehow admire the way you rigidly say "NO" to few things but finally let me have it my way! And our "torpedo" language, one of the million amazing things we do! :D
I'm more than thankful to God for sending you into my life.. I have no intention to even imagine my college life without you in it! And i also thank God for blessing us with the divine power to exaggerate as our birth right! :P
Irrespective of all the stupid things you do, I love you! :)   

Ali(sha)

I regret the height of dumbness i possessed when we first met. I was this rude girl who was a lot careless too, more like a kid... And Ali is a counter to all that! He is this not-so-short, not-so-fat, fair guy with zero head weight (and not much body weight :P)... A calm and down to earth person who has nothing negative to say about any soul on this planet! I'm glad we became friends (he's more like a brother though)! He obliges to almost everything i say (not out of choice, he just doesn't have an option) :P

* Thanks for standing my mood swings! I don't think i mentioned you being my Nanny, sorry, a guy... so my Care Taker and a Complaint Box(Argh!). Last but not the least, thanks for teaching me how to cross the road (I know you won't deny that i'm good at it now, in fact better than you :P)! 

Sneha

Maheshwary is one of those friends whom i would like referring to, more as a "CAT- always on the other side of the wall"! Cause she can  never take my side, when in a group of people pulling my leg... She tries the best to get killed by me, and she's sure i wont! But i guess that's the best part of our friendship.. She is this sweet little girl with the most hilarious accent and wonderful charm that can keep you admiring her forever.. Sneha is my Mum-away-from-Mum (Part 2)!

* Hey, Girl-with-'pinky'- in-your-email-id! You know how much i love you and how much i fear losing you... Hope we remain BFFs , cause i'm so addicted to you and your stupidity!:) Well, being your friend is like being your kid... You're so caring that it definitely reminds me of my Parents!

I can never forget the way we both walk hand-in-hand(like school kids), irrespective of how much people tease us.. Nor can i forget my futile attempts to teach you how to walk and your "Eyyyyuuuuaaaaa....."(Few of them reading this know what it means :P)

Luuuuurrrvvvvvveeee You, Pink! :D

Ruthvik
BigShow is my friend-foe-friend! If it's too confusing, let me make it easier, we are friends now! :P Presenting a sloth who can do anything and everything to get you to treat him.. Once you meet him, you might as well want to change the definition of dumbness.. Calls himself a Boy Angel.. =)) In fact, i most of the time fail to understand why God has been so mean to him! :P We can never have a conclusion to any of our discussion, cause no matter what, neither of us would budge! :P Well, it's against the nature to say sweet things about him, but i guess it's time i admit that there indeed are wonderful things about this sloth.. He can be the greatest pal, but can't maintain more than one good friend at once (I don't know what to call it)!


* Ruth, no matter how many times you gracefully screwed up and still continue to do, i'm left with no option but to forgive you! And you know how much i hate you for giving me the most sickest name, that spread like wild fire.. I'm surprised how i got used to that name now! :P Well, you are a wonder-fool person.. I like it how you try hard with your philosophical stuff in spite of knowing how much you suck at it.. Haha... And those gross jokes you crack just to cheer me up! It's really hard for me to be sweet to you and nod my head in agreement to whatsoever you say... and i also know how mutual this feeling is. But i guess that enhances our friendship more...
Thanks for being there, when i was in desperate need of an old friend!
P.S. You're no replacement! :P

Alice & Rieska

These two are my soul sisters! Meeting them was  a totally unexpected thing and letting them go was a completely impossible thing... But i'm glad they happened to me! There is something awesome about them that helped us bond and get closer as friends over such a short span of time! Alice is the cutest teen and Rieska is the craziest company..

* Everytime i'm sad that you guys left, i remind myself of what i once told you.. "Don't cry cause it's over, smile cause it happened"! And i laugh :D I can't stop giggling at how much Ryu loved shopping (*Same pinch*) and how we planned so much for a night out & finally ended up dozing off, and the hindi movie we watched... and the list is pretty long...

All  is well that ends well, but i'd prefer not calling it an end! It was never a 'good bye', it was a 'see you later'! I have two angels in my life... And every moment spent with you guys, i always cherish! 

Love you! :)

Sravani & Sr

My bench mates! They are like the proton and electron, i'm supposed to be the neutron here... Sravani laughs at every lame joke of mine, to the contrary, Sr murders every awesome joke of mine! All i need to pass my time in class during a boring lecture is these two girls.. Most of the time, the senario is something like - "Sravani and i laugh-We share the joke with Sr-She has that straight face-We again laugh"! 

I start laughing even before Srav completes her joke, sometimes she doesn't even have to say anything.. The expression is more than enough (Cause i can read her mind in no time :P)!

Well, Sr is the Mother Teresa! Always ready to help.. Other's needs are at higher priority than her's, and that's like WOW! She is also very understanding and there is never a need for me to give an explanation everytime i mess up..

*Thanks a ton girls! Ya'll make me smile.. :)

Spandy-Shreya-Shrav

And now it's time for the three Crazy girls!  Shrav & Spandy, i hardly see them (thanks to they moving to Beachwood), but there's Skype! :P And Shreya, the loud speaker who laughs and screams without a reason! I'm sure there were times when we ROFLed and later realized we were laughing at nothing! :D

* Sweethearts, I really miss you guys (Shrav & Spandy) and hope to see you very soon, i'll come this time! Shreya, i don't really miss you (You're 1 floor above :P)! I miss the sleepovers like hell... And i can never forget the B__ F____ (Fill it up, you know what i'm talking about) =))

Love you! :)

Mom, Dad & Rohit

My strength! You guys complete me... Ya'll are my most precious possession and i'm nothing without you...

* Mom & Dad, i really love both of you! Rohit... errr... you too! :P And i'm thankful to both of you for giving birth to me before him, I can't imagine my life if he was elder to me... ;)

It's hard for me to write about ya'll cause i can't express it in the best way! You make the best couple and the coolest parents... I won't let you guys down ever! I have more than i could wish for... Thanks a lot for everything! I can't thank ya'll enough.. *hug*

And YOU!  I can't fit my complaints here in this blog... It would be a never ending novel.. If i can make few requests here, 

# Please allow me to click pictures!

# Pallleeezzzeeeee don't make me laugh when something serious is going on and even when we are at the temple!

# Don't show off your martial arts skills on me!

# Drive slow when i'm with you!

# Don't sing! :P

Well, i'm asking for too much and i'm sure you'll do nothing! :) Thanks for being there MD(You know what that means :P)! I wouldn't lie by saying you're the best bro one could wish for but i also wouldn't deny that you're better than the best! :D

We are Family! :P
