It matters

I looked at her right in the eye. I proved my point. I proved myself. I broke a jinx. Come what may, tomorrow. I am a happy person today. That's all that matters!

When all my friends are partying at Hard Rock, I am reading up on the Law of Contracts! Double Drat.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Like every other person, I have my good side and my bad side. It's always easier to be the former. Takes less effort. Comes naturally. For I do not want to be judged.

If you've seen only the pleasant carefree side to me, you know a part of me. You're just another in my world.

I can be a very difficult person at times. If you've seen this "other" side to me, it means that you know the complete me. You're not just any other. I am comfortable being myself with you. Sharing all that I have. Not that I take you for granted, but I'd want to. To believe that you'll always be there for me. Come what may. No matter what. I will still as much be scared of losing you.

Que

Que especial "usted" he estado hablando es de nadie sino usted, Shobhit, mi amor, mi vida. Sí, eres el que ha estado en mi mente todo el tiempo! En un foro público este, lo confieso, Te amo con todo mi corazón.

Través tus de palabras y acciones, ustedo me haces sentir como la más bella señorita. Usted me da mucho más de yo se merece. Usted me echar a perder con el "mejor".

He aquí una respuesta a su dedicación dulce. Me refiero a cada palabra que digo!

Yo soy sólo una chica de al lado, pero me siento especial cuando me miro a mí a través de tus ojos
He estado por ahí, sólo que yo no tenga la suerte de que encontrar de usted
Incluso he estado buscando a en todas partes
Y estoy muy contento de que por fin he encontrado
Ahora, usted define mi vida
I se nunca mirar hacia otro lado
Yo siempre estaré a tu lado
Siempre y para siempre

:) :*

Ingenuity?

After Google "Plus", now it is Yahoo "Pulse". Playing with the alphabets, people? Some more originality would have been appreciated in this Social-Networking craze!

Pleasure-Pain theory

Just as I rejoiced the accomplishment of one task. The next one is staring down at me. Grinning. 

"YOU"

Very soon, I shall introduce you to this person called "you" who wriggles his way through to all my posts in recent times. Very obvious it is for anyone who knows me even a wee bit to guess the "you" but looks like that person himself doubts. So it shall be. An embarassing post on you soon! *piercing eyes* :P

Focus

Raghavendra Phadnis Moot Court Competition 2011 tomorrow. Another year. Another time. When the plans for this academic session shall be carved. Important one, thus. I may begin work NOW.

"In love", Again!

It has been raining here in Pune. Non-stop. To the extent that I was beginning to hate what I would have otherwise enjoyed and loved. Courtesy, my dirty feet. And my broken umbrella. It ain't a nice feeling to be completely drenched, water dripping from your forehead. Your washed hair untidy and out of place. To it all, add a cold too! I was sick and tired of the rain. Almost, more like. Just then, I decided to venture out. Rewind. Day before. A lonely long walk in the rain by myself. My net's not been working for the past couple of days, which kind of also explains the lull in my blogging phase. So a trip to the Tata Photon office was the need of the hour. Not very successful - my net's still down, I was returning when I had this strong craving for some ice-cream. And so it was. 

A walk in the rain with an ice-cream in hand, ears plugged, oblivious of all around. I felt the raindrops hitting my face.  I was the only one in my world. When I thought of anyone I would have wanted with me right then, 'twas "only" you who crossed my mind :) A pretty season this. In love, all over again!

Rant

I don't get angry often. I am one of those patient kinds. I can keep things to myself. Keep within. Bear it all alone. I always try to reason it out. See the other side to the story. If you have a problem, come and confront. I'd appreciate. Keep it to yourself. I wouldn't really know what to do. Not that I don't care. Bad mouth me. I'll ignore. But there is always a saturation point. I have mine too. Once I reach that point, I'd like to be indifferent.  I try it all the time. More often than not I fail. I did again today. That's one thing on my list I'd like to master. Either maintain relations or do not at all. There is nothing "in-between". For me, that was an alien concept. I hope I  understand.

Serene was my la-la-land where Calculations only existed in the world of Mathematics. Not when it came to human relationships and bonds. Looks like the real world is hitting me like a ton of bricks at the moment!

I Heart You

Harry. You have been there right from the start and I will love you till the end of time. There is no end. Nothing is over. I only love you more. And more.

I say this with pride...

"This is the Remand Home where I teach." 

I just came across this article in the Newspaper today. And it makes me happy in ways more than one. :)

There has been the mention of this organisation I have been associated with for the past three years. Where we all go out to teach. To encourage. To motivate. To guide. To make a difference. And when you see your efforts pay off, there can be no greater joy.

You have to read it to understand my sentiments.

From You to Me

Really? Read it to believe it :)

• Reminds me of u
  A lady lawyer decided to give herself a big treat for her birthday by staying overnight in one of London's most expensive hotels.
  
  When she checked out next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for £250.00.
  
  She explode and demanded to know why the charge was so high. "It's a nice hotel but the rooms certainly aren't worth £250.00 for just an overnight stop without even breakfast."
  
  The clerk told her that £250.00 is the 'standard rate' so she insisted on speaking to the Manager.
  
  The Manager appeared and forewarned by the desk clerk announced: "the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre which are available for use."
  'But I didn't use them," she said.
  ''Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager.
  
  He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which the hotel is famous. "We have the best entertainers from Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen performing here," the Manager said.
  
  "But I didn't go to any of those shows," she said.
  "Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied.
  
  No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!"
  
  The Manager was unmoved, so she decided to pay, wrote a cheque and gave it to the Manager.
  
  The Manager was surprised when he looked at the cheque. "But madam, this cheque is only made out for £50.00." ''That's correct. I charged you £200.00 for sleeping with me," she replied.
  
  "But I didn't!" exclaims the very surprised Manager.
  
  "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."=)).... U won't win against a lawyer. And u definitely won't win against a woman! =))

Time Management

I am leading an action packed life at the moment. From college to classes to chilling at the new flat to some "self-time" at the hostel, the day passes in the blink of an eye. At the end of it, I am left wondering how the day went by. There have been many items in my list of "to-do's" which have been put off for later. Day after day. It is both overwhelming and frustrating. The trip to visit P in Bombay did not happen again. Doesn't look like my plan of going to the gym is working out either. M has left Poona for good and I could not see her before she left. I haven't spoken to my cousins and friends for a while now. High time, really. And the greatest of my concerns, I am having to do with 6 hours of sleep. Only. :P

So Basically. The schedule I had chalked out for myself has gone haywire. I think I can do with some tips on time-management!

Experience Is

... the name we give to our mistakes!

The Perfect Moment

I looked at the rain and thought of you

I sneaked away from the world and dreamt about you

I wondered if you thought about me

Remembered me, wished for my presence

Hoped to have me the way I want you

Just then you called

To say you missed me too ♥

...And So You're My Google :)

I do not know what I would have done in my life without Google. Every time I've needed it, it has always been there. With answers to ALL my questions. How much I love it!

What You Mean To Me

Until I met you,
I never had feelings so true;
You were like a light in the dark
And in my heart, you've already left a mark!
Whenever I am angry or I am sad,
You make me laugh by doing something mad.

You listen to me,
You let me be,
The way I am...
To what others say I really don't give a damn
You are all that matters
After all you're the one who stood by me when my world was in tatters...

What you mean to me
Is more than just what the world can see...
When you're not there
My life seems so bare
With none to share
The stuff that I really care...

No one to lend a patient ear
And shoo away all my fear;
Somehow you make me feel better
In a way nobody else can ever :)

Especially for You

[I just came across this one from long back. So much has changed in a little more than two years. But I'm glad our friendship remains unaffected :) ]

Whenever I needed you,

I found you there so true;

You listened to every word of mine

And always said that I'd be fine.

The word of assurance that you gave 

Made me feel like a fairy's wand wave!

Our friendship is so new,

Just like the morning dew...

The freshness that it brings

Makes my heart sing

That alas! I found a friend so true

Whom I promise I will never sue! ;)

Just know that I'll always be there to take care of you

With a heart full of love and feelings so true...

MAD in the news

Lessons at the Coke Factory - Indian Express

Birds

I sometimes watch birds and wonder “If I could fly who would I shit on?”

Misses!

The smell of a person is their sweetest memory. Today I was walking on the street. I was reminded of you. :)

An Exercise

I am in a pretty fucked up mood. Pretty restless. My mind is racing. It's been like this for a while now. I do not really know what the problem is. Really. So right now I am doing a task. One to vent out all that I have to. So my laptop screen is covered. Yet I am typing in all that I want. There is no check. I am not re-reading my thoughts. I do not have to hide. I cannot, rather. Whatever is in is out. I feel lighter. I am not making much sense, but this marks a phase as well. I shall remember. Later.

I am me. This is my world. I enjoy being at peace. I shall do all that I want. I love to pamper myself. I will. I deserve. Or so I'd like to believe. I do not like my bubble being burst. I like people minding their own business. Sometimes I do not say anything. That does not mean I have nothing to say. I do not like answering questions. If you're worthy to know about it, I shall tell you on my own. You wouldn't have to ask. I like being left alone. And right now, I'd genuinely appreciate that!

PS. As an afterthought, this ain't that easy.

I Care Not

I think I like the "Self" in Selfish. Period.

Relationships

In life, we come alone. We leave alone. And at times, we wish we could live alone. Life is but a mosaic of different relationships and different people. To live, we need some relation or the other. A relationship, named or unnamed. Each relationship and person adds a unique color to life and gives it a new meaning and dimension. 

To make life complex, there are these ugly-beautiful relationships which one cannot end but cannot continue with either. Sometimes these imperfect relationships and conflicts, complexities and unpredictability of people, make life beautiful.
