the other kingdom seems by far the best

well, i was just talking to my friend charu
she is one of my oldest friends and we havent met for 3-4 months
even though technically we live in the same city
the conversation made me realise something about myself
which i think i knew all along but just refused to acknowledge
that i am a very sad person at heart (sad as in hindi sad i.e. dukhi
and not english sad as in bechari or looser or whatever)
i think i love tragedy i love to live in the constant companionship of
tears and pain and loneliness and this makes me content,
but not happy and content just content...confused so am i
gawd knows what i mean or maybe not he also might be confused, poor chap.

ya but the conversation with charu also egged me on to change this state of drudgery
and i decided i'll start making a few changes ..bit by bit
for starters i changed my playlist...(neone who knows music will understand that
it makes hell of a difference)
i changed my desktop background...(neone who knows me will understand it was damn difficult)
i added more ppl to my facebook account...(neone who can tell how that helps is welcome)
i will also start painting again how much ever the schedule is cramped...(neone who has ever dipped their fingers in color will understand)
i will (in some time) dump my digicam and pick up my slr again...(neone who's been inside the photolab will understand the joy of seeing the prints emerging on that white sheet of paper)

oh ya why the title... well i am trying to change my world bit by bit and this new world seems promising (atleast for now) and gives me hope that perhaps i will smile alil bit more in life.

Has eveyobody lost their marbles???

my back has been troubling me so i am confined to my couch

and because i puke everytime i see a saari-clad man-crazy woman

in any of those horrendous soaps, the only thing i watch is news or sports.

sports are fun but this time round it was the news bit which provided more entertainment

a thick-mustached heavy-set man tried to kiss RICKY PONTING at a charity function.

Ponting displayed his quick reflexes and managed to duck the the kiss but the man insisted that he hug and kiss him and he refused to leave the stage, ponting called mandira bedi to help him who actually managed to send the man away.

but the same guy made the highest bid Ponting's bat and came back on the stage

you had to see the horror on ponting's face, he was so petrified...hehehe.

but mandira stepped between them so that the man wouldnt kiss ponting again.

but the bottomline is mandira bedi was standing between two men and none of

them wanted to kiss her.

the next funny news was in H.T.

i usually regard H.T. as a paper with some substantial news as compared to TOI.

and here i was reading an article about a man called Anal Shah who despite of

opposition from his family married his maid, according to him her social status did

not matter. ok so what is so funny about a guy following his heart and going

against some stupid social stigma.

his name ppl ------- anal ( ha ha ha ha ha )

i mean need i say more .

lonely as hell

bhayya left today morning...again
and i am once more left to myself...alone,helpless and lost
i tried not to be sad about him going to hongkong
but i guess i am selfish and i would rather have him here
and tell him what happened in college...how my jury was
and all other things which he would listen to while solving
that god-forsaken sudoku.
i thought about all the amazing time we spent together
driving thru the city listening to our favourite gazhals...
i thought about all the scrabble games which he won by cheating
all the fist-fights i beat him at and all the time we wasted in arguing about
the most mundane things.
but nothing that i think or do can help me get over the fact that
we'll never share the same home again ...
we'll be in different countries, different time-zones
living our separate lives.
and what makes everything worse is that
his last words to me before leaving were
" hey rich...dont worry i'll send u a new ipod, till then u keep this one"
had i been more awake
i would have hit him and told him its not the ipod idiot its u
what a brute...he thinks all i care about is that stupid ipod.

ya he is being very practical n all but y doesnt he get it
talking on the phone is not the same as going to him
and crying mY heart out.

i mean we wont be able to go to a movie and feel out of place
coz everybody else is laughing at something which is not funny
or freaking out on a joke which nobody else got...

and ya today was my first raceday without u and guess what
raikonnen won.

shit yaar it sucks without u.

hey wass up with us /life

ok all fourth years know what i m talkin about..
(so do rohan and rupali) but seriously

what is this invisible, dark, silent, sinister force..lurking in the fourth year
studio which has rendered eveybody quite useless and gutless and spiritless..

i mean we didnt react at all befor 9:15 .. (maybe the monster is time-bound)

i mean they tried both the carrot and the stick with us but neither seemed to work

i felt horrible sitting there dumb-ly i know rohan and rupali must have felt horrible too.
and so did many others but we are seriously in a pathetic state right now...gotta do something
juss dont know what..
maybe the whole schedule thing helps
godspeed fourthyearites

life as we know it

well i was thinking for quite some time what to write
there were things which came to my mind now and
then but didnt get the time to put them up... well ...

the thing which has been bothering me for sometime is that why we hate somebody
i mean what is about that other person that makes one go mad...see red ( i know it doesnt rhyme)
well my theory is that u hate those ppl the most who are extremely like you
because in them u can clearly see everything that u hate about urself but ur mirror doesnt show.
they drive u mad because they are all ur faults personified...

i dont know about anyone else but it holds true for me in most cases (i.e. most ppl i hate, will put up the names next time)

hmm in the end i would like to quote a murphy's law,
EVERYONE DESERVES EVERYBODY ELSE
