"Life is like topography, Hobbes. There are summits of happiness and success... ...Flat stretches of boring routine... ...And valleys of frustration and failure." -Calvin picked this up from here

was taking ma cousins studies the other day! she was muggin up this poem tat went "Crying only a little bit is no use. You must cry until your pillow is soaked! Then you can get up and laugh. Then you can jump in the shower and splash-splash-splash! Then you can throw open your window and, “Ha ha! ha ha!” And if the people say, “Hey, what’s going on up there?” “Ha ha!” sing back, “Happiness was hiding in the last tear! I wept it! Ha ha!”!!" when i first heard it, i wondered which crazy person wud think of putting a poem like tat in the 5th std text book! thinkin over it now.. it feels right! we speak of controlling emotions, of holding them, holding ourselves, but its more impt to let go sometimes! rightly to cry out til ur pillow is soaked! to sob n yell and to scream like hell.. to pray, to curse, to get it all out of u! we bottle up feelings, till either some day the explode, or lose context. but they stil remain within, cos we keep holdin on to them! tears are not a sign

* ***another poem by pablo neruda! i totally love wat he writes! Don't blame anyone, never complain of anyone or anything Because basically you have made of your life what you wanted. Accept the difficulties of edifying yourself And the worth of starting to correct your character. The triumph of the true man arises from the ashes of his mistakes. Never complain of your loneliness or your luck. Face it with courage and accept it. Somehow, they are the result of your acts and It shows that you'll always win. Don't feel frustrated of your own failures, neither unload them to someone else. Accept yourself now or you'll go on justifying yourself like a child. Remember that any time is good to start And that no time is so good to give up. Don't forget that the cause of your present is your past, As the cause of your future will be your present. Learn from the brave, from the strong, From who doesn't accept situations From who will live in spite of everything. Think l

i hav never acknowledged a relationship as a mistake before.. they say ther's alwes a first time. guess this is it. my mistake has a name..****** it doesn take much to break ppl away frm u. it doesn take much to trust someone, it doesn take much to brk that trust either.. bt ma mistake is nt abt trust, n breaking of trust.. or smtin like tat. its jus simply a mistake. may be mistaken thinking. they say opposites attract. if they are people, i'd rather they wudnt. can two dissimilar people actually have a sensible relationship? my experience was nt in favour of it a fren of mine said to me once.. u knw a relationship is dyin when it becomes more an effort than a relationship. n i spent i guess most of the 3 years (that things lasted betn us) in tryin to keep it alive! no m nt sad abt wat m losing. i held him very precious in ma life, probably cos ppl matter to me a lot.The moments we spent were some of the best i cud ever have. but then we are difft ppl. we cant sustain each oth

this is probably one of ma earliest post(by time i mean). m waiting fr breakfast, n thers stil some 10 minutes left, so i sneaked some tym fr a post. its monday. i had an early mornin.. n a great weekend. (not cos i did smtin great, but jus tat i feel nice abt it now) final year gives u loong weekends. wit fridays fr projects, stil u find lots o tym to spare at the weekend. was jus ponderin at ma ipod then, (durin one of those times, whn i felt i had all the time in the universe at ma disposal!) whats so great abt it? i mean its jus a media player. bt then why is it cooed so much? why is it tat Ipod rings a bell (somewher, i dunno if its head or heart, i can jus hear the ringin). cos its jus tat "a plain simple media player". it doesn giv u too many choices to juggle ard wit. cell phones offlate giv u a music player, a camera, n a kind of pda all within the price of a ipod nano... yet IPODs are still special. (yeah i v read articles abt pros n cons of ipods.. m nt sayin its t

"since the wheel first turned, we have been turned in time to meet its end" a quote i came across on a blog. stumbled on this blog today! real people.. real stories and here's another post worth a read!

we boast abt the world havin changed so much!!!! yet this 16 year ol video is stil relevant....

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms, but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers. Thanks to your love a certain fragrance, risen darkly from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride, so I love you because I know no other way than this: where "I" does not exist, nor "you," So close that your hand on my chest is my hand, So close that your eyes close and I fall asleep. -Pablo Neruda

this is another video of Frank warren the guy who started postsectret . i dunno why this project appeals to me so much. jus thought of sharing this video clip http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/world_news_america/7605389.stm

its not late by my standards! m abt to shut my book over a long weekend! final year gives lots o long weekends..m nt writin much of late. the only reason being ma thoughts hav become highly volatile, and its hard to hang on to them ( somethin i hav often heard frm fattu's mouth) yestday marked 5 blasts in delhi. i don much of watch tv, n the continuos relay of the same news over n over was frustratin me. i did all tat was in ma power.. changed the channel. thats wat most ppl around the country must hav probably done, once the news had broken to every home! is it cos delhi is so far away frm wher i live? is it cos i hav never been exposed to such a situ in real life? it all seems so distant. things wil keep happenin, it doesn matter so much as long as it doesn happen to u. say a silent prayer thankin god fr waking us upto another day, thank him fr the wel bein of our near n dear ones. pray fr peace fr those hurt.. n then pull up a sheet n slide into bed! tats all tat we do! how do w

".... Quit-- Dont Quit, Noodles-- Dont Noodles?! You are too concerned with what was and what will be! ther's a sayin --- yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift that is why it is called the present ! " a dialogue from " Kung Fu Panda (2008) "

not everyone in life gets a second chance! n if u suddenly did? second chance ... to rewrite wat u wrote before, ... to make things possible, even ... to make things impossible unfulfilled desires, unsaid words, they alwes keep lurkin at the back of ur mind thers this tiny bag wher we write in chits about things we want to redo! a tiny bag that keeps filling, cos not everyone gets a second chance! i thought things happen in ur life only once.. bt sometimes u r given opportunities to change things, to make a difference. so many times they pass unnoticed! if life gave u a second chance... a chance to undo and redo things, n be someone, somethin u arent today? would u really want it? would u really take it? would u even realise it is?

the video speaks fr itself!

Love creates an "us" without destroying a "me Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired....Robert Frost. Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage....Lao-Tsu. Love is not a matter of what happens in life. It's a matter of what's happening in your heart....Ken Keyes. Love is a butterfly, which when pursued is just beyond your grasp, but if you will sit down quietly it may alight upon you....Nathaniel Hawthorne. To love is to be vulnerable....C.S. Lewis. When you are in love, life should not be measured by the moments of breath, but by the breath-taking moments....Unknown. The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost....Gilbert Chesterton. ....jus stumbled upon these on a site ( i cant recollect the link)

nothing makes sense some times. even being sensible! y is the heart so difficult to understand. y sometimes we don make sense to ourselves! what is it that confuses us.. the us we are when we are with us, or the us when we are with "we" cn u be right n left at the same time? unless of course u r starin at urself in the mirror. (i guess tats probably the answer to the confusion!)
