As If I Care..!

Yahooo! I ran the 1o K run today morn :D :D :D It was the first time and clocked arnd 100 mins to cross the finish line. We walked and jogged and ran and even after the Run was over,thanks to inertia of motion,couldnt stop :P Err..yeh the legs are stiff and all tht..but then,it was nice :) So,that was the 'First Time' of this month ( Me plans to do atleast one thing for the first time every month :D ) Later Added :- Alright,alright...the "We" were Rahul and I. Rahul is a pal from Pagalguy Forums. And the fact that he's damn cute made the journey that much easier...wht did they say about good company? ;)

Insecurity of losing love makes us mistakingly lose the friend in them ; insecurity of losing the friend makes us mistakingly fall in love with them.

Our elders,or for that matter we ourselves take life so seriously at times... What do u want to become? What is your purpose in life? Where are you headed? How does this add value to u? Bah..does everything have to be quantified and measured? Is success in life measured by how many awards u bag or the pay package u get? Can money really show one's worth? Is someone who's working in Lehman Bros,New York more 'valuable' than the one working in a local bank? Life is one which creates another. Leaders mushroom leaders. Money creates more money. Anything that is respected today is coz of its ability to sustain itself against the test of time. Houses of quality werent build overnight. The point being what is the driving force today? And in the race,how do u emerge 'successful' ? Am touching too many points here,but all of them are rushing in my mind at the same time. Leave others,what would be my definition of a successful life? What can I say to claim that "I Li...

Life has a strange way of teaching its lessons.In a journey,nothing can be taken for granted and any sorta ignorance can get back to you when you least expect it to. We have an evaluation system where 50% of the weightage is given to Internal Assessment (IA) and the remaining to External Assessment (EA).IA is done through assignments and all that jazz within respective centers. A is done by conducting a common exam across all the centers. Folks take it easy with IA, but when it comes to EA, everyone pulls up their socks as you are measured against 2500 students, no less!! The CGPA is arrived at by evaluating both the performances, the SGPA (Scholarship GPA) is determined by the EA alone. Last week we got our EA marks. Today we got the CGPA grades for our last but one term exams. And I sat there staring at the screen. Shocked. Dazed, to be precise. Deaf to the commotion around me. I had topped in one of the papers in my EA. Deserves an 'A', obviously. But the scorecard read ...

Take a flight,into the night A dark,endless expanse of a cold unknown future To stop and look behind Is to bask oneself in the false glow of comfort Comfort which arose from the warmth Of all those who loved and cared to smile at you False, as gone are all of them With you just gazing at the blank emptiness... Look ahead with a decisive purpose To move on and take it as it comes But when will the hope of having Someone who shares the vision die..? As life seems like a prose Like a poem which doesnt rhyme A tree which hasnt seen the spring A leaf waiting to touch its ground .. I fly off....into the dark,the unknown..... But its cold out there.. The warmth beckons me back But what shall I choose to have A hope which has no future, Or a future which has no hope?

Dearest Vishu and Vipul... Today the Almighty God did the next best thing to both of you (the first one being me :D ). You know,all this while,I've been holding back...waiting till all of us got placed...but boy, NOW WE ARE GONNA PARTY HARD :D :D :D A silent prayer for ICICI and TCS respectively, as well...may God award these firms with enough strength to deal with both of ya ;) And yeah Vipul dude,abh to hum bhi taana marenge "Padhai mein mann kyun lagega,placement toh hogaya na?!" ;) ;) Truly...very happy for both of u...:) Love, Zari. Ps:- BTW,kindly consider yesterday's party as the one from my side.I cant bear throwing another one for dehaatis like you :D :D

So Qazi Tauqeer and Rooprekha win Fame Gurukul (a singing compt on Sony TV). Two people who always went by their heart,didnt indulge in dirty politics when it came to voting out participants and always believed that they could make it. Esp. Qazi - the underdog. Right from the beginning,his peers thought he didnt deserve to be there.He always maintained that he had the passion and will to succeed and held nothing against his peers for thinking bad about him. And the bandar becomes the sikander :). I like these kinda success stories,wherein a person comes at the top,beating all odds that were stacked against him.Kudos dude...keep rocking :). ___________________________________________________ This post on Hirdu's blog aptly sums up the confusion and anxiety of a middle aged life.

I do my thing And you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations And you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I. And if by chance we find each other,it's beautiful, If not, it can't be helped. - Fritz Perls The key idea of the statement is the endorsement of a focus on living in response to one's own needs; it also expresses an idea about people who respectively can help fulfill another's needs in fulfilling their own: when they "find each other, it's beautiful." Immediately following that optimistic note, the final six words are "If not, it can't be helped". Beautiful.

So..this is the 100th post on my blog :). Was going through what I wrote all this while...and the following posts are the ones I really like. Sadly,the comments arnt there anymore as Haloscan has been removed.... Intelligent Men = Dumb Women. Mein aisa kyun hoon After long hiatus Lose to gain Summers start (Made this for the V-day)Continuing previous post Its ok Give a damn Futility of hope L square This will be me? When will I love me?

Blinded by Fears Fear in the Society Not bad...:)

Umm,I was supposed to continue my post on Women.Will do.Sometime soon. :) Actually this post is a result of a question posed to me. She asked, "What would you write on your blog,if you knew none visited it?" Me : Hmm,I think the basic purpose of enabling comments on ur posts is to know what people think about it.... She : Why would you care? Would your thinking change,if someone thought otherwise? Me : Mebbe not,but it does provide one a broader view of things.And they can always be more than one correct answer... She : So,when you blog,is it to know what others think or to let them know what you think? Me : Both. She : So,doesnt the fact that people will read and comment on your post dictate its content, atleast some of the times? Me : Umm,yeah,sometimes it does... She : So,back to my first question. What would you write on your blog,if you knew none read it? I smiled. Me : What would I write?? I wouldnt write at all. :) Oh kay,tht's going a bit too far...I'd write,b...

The most common complaint men have is their inability to understand what women want. I was wondering,is it really so difficult to know us? One SMS was doing rounds - What women say and what they actually mean.It got me thinking. I guess, that's where the main problem lies. Women dont state what they think. They have something on their mind,and they say something that is connected to it.No doubt,guys good at crosswords have it easy ;) And this trend is observed only when it comes to their own self.If they find a puppy cute,they say it. But if they want to know about their looks,they would drop a hazaar hints before the guy actually gets it!! If they want something,they rarely ask for it.Instead it would be "She has it,I want it too" types, or she'd try to justify the need for it. Why cant women simply be as direct and blunt as men are? The way they are bought up has some definite role to play. One has to be modest,not too demanding,always giving unto others and all tha...

Last year,around this time my life had come to a standstill...dreams crashed,tears flowed and world was black and white. This year,around the same time,my life has taken a new direction....dreams are taking flight,tears flow coz I cant contain the smiles and world is all technicolor. Watch this space as life moves on.... :).

Hey Folks....how's the new look??? :)

You are an assassin. That means you are a proffessional and do your job without mixing any emotions in it. In your life you have probably been hurt many times and have gotten some mental scars. This results in you being distant from people. Though many think that you are evil, you are not. What you really are is a person, trying to forget your pain and past. You are the person who never seems to care and that is why being an assassin fits you good. Atleast, that's what people think. Even if you don't care that much for your victims, you still have the ability to care and to generally feel. It is not lost, just a little forgotten. In crowds you tend to not get to noticed, and dress in black or other discrete colours. You don't like being in the spotlight and wish people would just leave you alone. But once you do get close to someone you have a hard time letting go and get real down if you lose him/her. Main weapon: Sniper Quote: "The walls we build around us to keep o...

When Dad went outta town,he handed over the business to Mom.Poor sweetheart of mine didnt know how to go about running it initially,but 3 months down the line when I heard her fire one of the Sales guy the other day,I thought,"Ooh la la,Mom's arrived!" At dinner tonight Mom said,"Honey,I dont think one needs an MBA degree to run one's business...." "Yeah,Mom" I replied,"But one surely needs it to be employed in someone else's business." How SAD IS THAT?? :((

Noticed something today and wanted to share with all of ya. Ever noticed that on the keyboard,'W' + 'E' and 'U' + 'I' are side by side? WE are together ; U and I are close to each other :).

I've been pondering over a point in the past few days.It's actually coz of a discussion I had with Girish.No,I wasnt pondering over why I discuss topics with him,I was pondering over (argh!) the point we were discussing...to cut the crap - Do feelings/emotions define human beings? Are feelings responses to stimulus?Are reactions conditioned by people and surroundings? Do impulsive reactions over a period of time become instinctive responses?Do we think before we react? Why dont we? Why is the urge to react so great,that we dont bother to take a sec off and think about or rather choose how we will respond? Since the 2nd year started,I've had all my first year pals commenting that I've changed.Am myself for the nth time posting this on my blog...I've changed...yes,I have.I dont react now,I only respond.And the response is usually well thought of before been expressed.Not that I talk in measured tones now,just the way I react to people and situations has changed. Comin...

I long for those days when studies were meant to be taken seriously. When I’d wake up at 4 am and mug my chapters. When sleeping without revising was blasphemy. And now, leave alone revising, if I manage to scan thru’ the allotted chapters, I send a grateful prayer to the Almighty. Sad, very sad. Only 2 things matter – Sleeping and Staying awake. And while you are staying awake, behaving as if you are running the world. Yaawwnnn…..time to sleep..take care of this globe,someone ;).

Laughed so loudly in my Coll Lab when I read it on Hirdu's blog,that now everyone wants it in the Y! grps!!! And my Bullet is getting some popularity in coll.Gals snidely remark it's 'OK',guys comment that I'm all set for the kill in every sense ;),and my Psych Prof enquired where I purchased it frm.He wants one for his 8yr old son.Meanwhile,Mom continues to frown at it...

Before I forget,hello...am not on a preaching program!!! I already mentioned in mah Principle 1 post that these were the lil rules I was setting for MYSELF.Read that again.MYSELF.For Zarine. Toh dont blame/criticise me if you dont find them fit for yourself...and btw,after Princi 1,I've stopped listening ;). And now the last(!!) principle for this season.Once winter strikes in 2 months,we'll (I,me and myself) will be back with a new set of the same :D. Dont carry it too far.Yepes,that's the princi 4.I was thinking...would it be better to frame it as "Draw your lines",but for those who arnt artistically gifted,I wont make much sense.But,hey,wasnt I writing these for myself? Whatever. What you give to a relation.What you demand from it.What you expect from the Indian cricket team.What you expect from the Meteorological Dept.What you expect from Airtel (Grrrrrr).And the likes.Dont let it cross the rational limits.Airtel service personnel believe in Hutch.High time I ...
