lost sight of articulation...

It's been ages since I've posted anything here. I find my blog rather boring now. I remember how earlier I used to visit my blog and re-read my old posts. May be because previously I used to write about my views and now I write about me and I don't find me interesting. Many a times in the past few days I opened the blog with the intention of writing but whenever I would start to type, I would go blank. I feel I have become less expressive over the days... :(


Although a few assignments have been coming from here and there, they have not been enough so as to satisfy me. Also my work is getting erroneous day by day. What is it? Is it the lethargy, the situation or just me? CONFUSED (as always) !!?!


So, the rains are getting very irksome now. When it should rain, it doesn't and when it should not, it pours heavily!! Well, my own life doesn't go according to me, how can I expect the monsoon to work as per me!!


Right now  I am feeling as if I am sitting in a roller coaster, thoughtless and emotionless and the roller coaster is going round and round, it wont stop until I am all set to hurl. 


I met some old friends last week. It was fun. I realized that friends can be old or new but friendships are always evergreen. We didn't party nor did we go to some amazing place, it was a normal dinner and a long walk but my happiness on being with them was so huge that it made me enjoy those simple moments more than anything. I guess this what true friends do to you! And, my baby bloomer bloomed a flower after weeks (touchwood), I am very glad this happened !! :))


One thing I hate the most about Mumbai is that people here really can be mean and rude. No one cares even if you get hit by a car, at times. You are the only one who has to be careful about yourself, no one comes to help, you have to be your own help!!  


Anyway, I don't have anything more to write now. When the thoughts in your head stop meandering for a while, you can express it out but when they just keep running continuously it's hard to catch pace and articulate!!

The fun week ends…

1 Party + 1 dinner + Manori + Lonavala = A week full of fun and entertainment. While returning from Manori, I wanted to blog about it ASAP but I was drained by the trip till the time I reached home so I could not and little did I know that the awesome Lonavala weekend was waiting for me. So now I will put down all the fun together here.

The fun week started with a friend’s awesome party. All of us danced our hearts out. It was superb. Then the next day, me and my mad gang (as we call it) left for Manori. The beach, the cottage, the horse-cart ride, the ferry ride, the weird dog and the dark room, all made it a perfect picnic. Actually, I had the perfect set of people and that’s what made it a hit. The little jokes, the funny events, the teasing, the yelling and hooting made it one of most memorable outings for all of us. To top it all, it rained. My first proper rainy session, all of us got wet and enjoyed the weather thoroughly. I would specifically like to mention the horse cart ride while returning; the sun was setting, it was very windy and cloudy by then. The narrow road on which our horses were galloping was margined by trees on both sides. Most of the trees bore red flowers. It looked like they were on fire. And then, the sky started sprinkling water. Oh! What a sight! What a feeling! It was indeed an enchanting ride!

Another event to add to my merriment was one of my closest friend’s birthday on 3^rd June. All of us met and went for dinner.

 And then the next morning I Ieft for Lonavala with my family. The climate was amazing there. The clouds were touching the hills. I was actually sitting on cloud nine. I could touch the sky. The scenery, the weather, the fresh air and the swiftly blowing wind were just perfect. Apart from this, I enjoyed the little badminton session with my family. This trip will remain in my memory forever and ever. I feel like I am back from heaven.   

 I don’t remember when was the last that I actually enjoyed for an entire week like that without going to office so all in all it was an exuberating week filled with loads of fun, pleasure and a little guilt for not working at all.

There was not much of writing work this week so I really wish for more of it ahead.         

          

Yesterday and some odd thoughts...

Sometimes opportunities can also be scary. Is this the right thing to do or not? This question can be answered only by doing it.

Yesterday, after a long time I traveled by train. It was a big 1.5 hr journey. This Sunday was more wearing than a weekday. Anyway, I would rather not waste my words writing about how tiring, confusing, enlightening and bizarre yesterday was!

The train journey was good although all the time I was worried about being late. There was place to sit in the train but I preferred standing at the door and having the wind blow straight on my face. It felt good and free. On the way, I saw a road running parallel to the train. There were dense trees on both its sides; it looked like a beautiful tree tunnel. The sunlight was touching the road in bits and pieces because the leaves of the trees were breaking the light. It looked so pleasant.

There are so many different people in the world having different life stories. We have this small world that we build around us and that is what universe is for us. But from the actual universal perspective, one single person is like small and minute dot. There are countless lives and life stories. All of us are always lost in our own life stories, thinking only about ourselves and nothing else. But the fact is even if YOU don’t have a story, the universe will still be having infinite life stories!! Making your life story worthy of being a part of this universe is not that difficult, helping the people who need aid can make a good difference.   

On a NORMAL Sunday

After long, I am in a good mood today, I enjoyed my Sunday, just as a Sunday should be enjoyed; lazing around in my house, watching a few movies, listening to music & eating a lot of junk (actually I over-ate). Although I had to do a lot of content writing but I just did a few articles.

Sometimes when it seems like things are getting more complicated, just one phone call and a few caring lines can help as hell.

 Is it just me or Justin Bieber does really sounds like a girl!

Oh! I just reminisced, how I used to be a crazy ‘Blue’ fan, I mean I still love them but 3-4 years back, I was all ga-ga about them, I, in fact, had my phone Bluetooth name as ‘Blue’ for years. They truly made amazing music; ‘All rise’, ‘Bubblin’, ‘Signed, sealed, delivered’, ‘You make me wanna’, ‘One love’ and many many more. How I love them!! Bubblin is my first favorite Blue song.

”How do we get started

How do we get private

Once we get it started

Its gonna be troubling

U and me bubbling...”

“Life can be as easy and as complicated as you make it”, true, isn’t it? We never want to or wish to make our lives complicated. It’s just that, some of us find it farcically difficult to make life easy.

I am the best procrastinator, one can ever come across but the more I am trying to work on it, the more it is making me hate myself and be unsatisfied with myself. But then, I just read a quote yesterday saying,’ One should never be satisfied and less curious’ (Be careful with the context, in which it has been stated). Anyway, we are all work-in-progress in some way or the other. I just hope my process catches up some pace, at the end of the day, one cannot change overnight.  "Rome was not built in a day".

And, cricket has been exasperating me as hell! It is ALL that people watch and talk about. Aaarrrghh!!!!

Cheerio!!    

Bloom Bloom Bloomer!!

Bloomer is my new plant. A few weeks back I had decided to get a plant which bears flowers and I got me 1 today. Now, I am responsible for a life, whose growth and existence relies on me & I know I will take utmost care of my baby bloomer...I so love it!  

I was at Marine Drive yesterday. The view of the city from there is exquisite, its not the 1st time I went there but each time I am there, it always crosses my mind that whether I am deserving enough to live such a beautiful life in this vibrant and lively metro. I remember stating in one of my articles,'People of Mumbai are always working, this is not the place where you can just stand and stare.' It gave me a drive to work, work hard enough to feel deserving enough. "Am I deserving enough for it?", is a question that keeps meandering in my head most of the times for most of the things I have, achieve and wish for. 

I am back to writing now and it feels good, I have become a little slow because of the big break and so there is a little pressure but I am loving the pressure too! I feel contented ( at least now) about it!

P.S.: I again ended up writing about me. 

 

Me, writing and monsoon

My heart is beating so fast right now that I fear it will wear out soon. I have come to realize that I have been writing a lot about myself of late, be it in my blue writing diary or this blog. So many of times we get so lost within ourselves that we start ignoring everything else around us, the nature, the people and so forth. 

Life is all about uncertainties. No one knows what's going to happen next, even the fortune-tellers cannot predict their own future but I just wish I knew SOME of the future outcomes. Yes, I know the "live in the moment" philosophy and I do follow it too but there are times when I want to live the future first and then the present.

Working from the workplace is so much better than working from home, at least we can come out of the den and meet other people. But we cannot get everything, right? God always keeps us away from any one piece of the life's jigsaw puzzle at each time. He makes us realize that it's not complete and then He wants us to be satisfied with the unfinished puzzle. Uck, very puzzling!! 

Mumbai's first drizzle on 16th may, 2011 was pretty pleasant although I had to carry my umbrella for the entire day just because of that 2 minute shower and that irked me. I am an admirer of the nature but when it comes to RAINS I am not much of a fan but I do love it's balcony view coupled along with a few Mumbaiyaa Munchies and junk!! I avidly want to feel the swishing breeze on my face which will be possible only with the arrival of the monsoon so I am waiting for it to come soon.

I could not think of a title for this post so I used a few labels for it...Hooroo (i.e. goodbye as per the Australian slang)!

I hope this was the last...

Since the exams are over (again) I wanted to blog something but didn't know what. Anyway, now I need to take charge of my responsibilities ASAP. As soon as I finished my paper today, I wanted to work but since there are a few plans I wont be able to catch up with work now for a day or two. 

"Ajeeb daastan hain yeh..." an old hindi track and "The day you went away" by Shades of purple, two amazing songs.

I expect a lot from me, I hope I am not over-expecting. I saw "Luv ka the end" today, loved it and I just finished watching "A walk to remember" again. Now, "Raagini MMS" tomorrow... I love watching movies, I can watch them all day long without being with anyone or talking to anyone. That's what I feel like doing now, going away from life, not listening to anyone, not talking to anyone, just writing, reading, watching movies and being by myself for a while.    

Quitting always doesnt mean quitting on life!!

Sometimes no matter how hard you try, things NEVER work in your favor. I have heard that people who quit are losers but what if they quit because there is something else that’s waiting to turn that quitter into a winner? What if it was never meant for you? Why try to stretch the band so hard that it breaks?

But quitting one thing and picking up another and trying to actually persevere for that, requires a lot of strength! Society and people around have such an enormous impact that quitting what may be wrong for us but right as per them gets so difficult that giving up on quitting and continuing to lead a sucker’s life seems easier! But just because one sucks at a particular thing doesn’t mean that he or she can’t flourish in another!

I wish ALL of us had the balls to go against the people (even the special ones) and the society for such matters.

May you NEVER rest in peace!

Osama Bin Laden was shot dead on 2^nd of May 2011. I am sure this day will be celebrated by many every year. He got shot in the head (a start off point to all his disgusting and ghastly terrorist thinking & activities). Thank God!!

Well, 1 down and 99999(approx) more to go.

He used to say that he does everything for his people and Allah and considered himself to be very knowledgeable about Islam, stupid fellow, people who think they are wise and always right are the ones who are obtuse, thickheaded and always wrong!!  

I just read an article claiming that this is a false alarm, he may be alive but skeptics are always there to comment on every issue and this being a huge one such comments and stories are bound to come. I would still like to believe that he is dead.

After taking so so so many lives, hell would be like a heaven to him so Mr. God if there is any other nastiest place than hell, I sincerely request you to transport his soul there!
