14. Antony and Cleopatra were ugly.

I never thought they were very pretty in any case.

33. Female civil servants in India are questioned about their menstrual cycle as part of their appraisal.

That's strange. But I have heard, house maids being questioned about this. It's a part of the interview process in Indian homes.

39. The secret to happiness is accepting misery.

So is the secret to love.
If you love misery, fall in it.
If you love yourself, fall out of it.
70. IP Addresses will run out in 2010.

That's creepy!
How will we download! :(

Logon for more!
It's def an interesting read.

Other things that I didn't know last year:

There must be a 100 here too. I will give my favorites...

1). Love thy neighbor.

2). dreams become reality.

3). Feelings are a bitch!

4). the unsettled always get settled. Look around.

See ya!

It was so easy to talk about "forever"
It was so easy to be "together"

As we go on.
I keep thinking of all the times.
The times that I thought would never change.

But we won't come back.
If you have something to say...
Say it today
Cause am moving on
And I can't slow down

As we go on....
I keep thinking of all the times.
The times that I thought would never change.

I didn't know about love.
How did it come between you and me?
It was you and me
And there was that small tea stall
It was you and me
And those long odd hours
It was you and me
And that long black last seat in the bus

It was you and me
Cuz there will always be you and me.

As we go on
I keep thinking of all the times.
The times that I thought would never change.

Our lives might change forever.
But we will be "forever"
And we will be "together"

Well I think it's all resolved and they have a few more in the can before they scrap out the season.

So for people who are not much into the Barnacle's, here's some trivia for you all...
Btw the show is a must watch!

1). Lemon Law:
The Lemon Law may be invoked if, at any point during the initial five minutes (300 seconds) of a first date, either party deems the union hopeless and elects to abort said date in the interest of time and/or self-respect.

The reasons could be anything to nothing. But the first 5 mins doesn't leave anyone hurt. And if you manage to score with him/her in those 300 seconds, you've mastered the law!

2). The Platinum rule:
Don't Love Thy neighbor.
311 revolved around it with flashbacks illustrating barney's fixtures.
The best part was "don't kill the bar!!"
So basically, please don't date a waiter/ress in your favorite coffee shop/bar.
Its kills the place for the entire group.
If you got what I meant....

3). Crazy eyes
A woman who has these should be dumped instantly.
Otherwise you will get involved in certain psychotic activities with them :)
Well you just know it, when you see someone with those crazy eyes.

4). Suit up
To score...you need a suit. Nothing but a suit and a wing man...
Have....you....met Ted? Remember that one?

I can't think of more. And they are not my rules... and I don't abide by them. :)
But the show is absolutely great!

Rewind : A year ago, such an ad over social awareness would not move me. I wouldn't even think that such things existed.

We talk about social reforms and more often or not they usually revolve around women.

What do we say to such an attitude?

Is it right? Is it right getting stuck in a generation gap in 2008. Just because I wasn't aware of it, didn't mean that it did not exist!

Jaago India...!!It's not about we women all the time.

Sometimes...

2 yrs ago...
We were supposed to meet.
We were meant to be...

What made you turn your back on me then?
And What is now making you turn back time now.

It's too late.
We are too far apart now.

X : But I am here now. We can start over.

Very convinient.
Move on X. Its time you did...
Cuz you did 2 yrs ago...you never came.
I never saw you.

X : I was there Y.
I just didn't meet you.

Why????

X : All the best Y.
I will always love you.
I made a mistake by coming back...just like I had made a mistake by coming 2 yrs back.

it's too late now
it's just too far now....

Time has changed
And this time its not so good.
Pick up the fallen pieces.
Walk with me.

dreams...
I live in my dreams?
No no...
my dreams are my life...
I live for them
And I could even die for them..

Are you a dream?
A dream that I believe in...
No no

it's too late now
it's just too far now...

Sometimes it feels like yesterday...

And sometimes it feels like someone else's memory.




Did so much change over the last 4 yrs?

Was it worth it?

Is going back to where you came from worth it?



Yes I am pretty, successful....proud...

But am I happy?



Ms. X returns home.

Finds him...right where she had left him. At the same park we met everyday...



X: "When was the last time you smiled ?" (Tears in her eyes)

Lets name him Y.

Y: "Why? I am happy....do you get that?"

X: "Oh..But I have missed you...."

She runs towards him....

Y: "Stop! I am with some one else now. I am sorry."



And that's how the show ends. To watch more of it...pls be tuned.



PS : This has no resemblance to me whatsoever!

When I get back home,

there will be a v few bits and pieces left.

A new life. A new dream. A new beggining and lots of battles to win.

Farida Khanum is also known as Malika-e-gazal (The Queen of Gazals)
It is the most beautiful and romantic gazal I have ever come across.
I have been in love with it for years.

For people who have heard it, salaam to Farida.
For those who haven't, fall in love with it.

I see it.
I see the sadness in your eyes.
I know you want to run away from the truth.
Not right now...
Not when its staring right into your face.
Wipe those tears.
Pick up the fallen pieces.
Come back to life.
And bring us to life...
Cuz I love you.
Yes I don't understand..
But the pain multiplies to stare into those eyes.
Yes, the same eyes.
I see you and I see it.

It's not a new book.
No its not.

I know most of you have read it. I am talking about the Kite runner.
I don't even know if people stumble over this page. But one day, I will come back to it, and have a good laugh. When it becomes like a diary, and I read it out to "jhoom". She'll be proud of me. Won't she be?

The book is brilliant. If I may say so, the word I just used falls short of saying how good it is!
Its THAT good.

I learnt a lot about Afghanistan, the Talibs and the efforts and trauma that a lot of people went through. The book sometimes brings tears to you eyes, as all the descriptions come alive as if such animosity was happening right in front of you.

I fell in love with Hassan and his truthfulness. Even though he isn't there for most parts of the book, his presence is felt in every act performed by Amir. Sohrab recreates what Hassan leaves behind. Life doesn't stop, yet it doesn't go on.

I am unwell and in bed for the past 4.5 days now.
This book gave my leaves a purpose. It made me smile at times with Amir and brought tears to my eyes at various points.

It's a must read. People say that Khalid's second book is also about Afghanistan and is even better. I wanna wait. I don't want this affect to wear off so soon.

PS : I am gonna patch up on my 5 yr relationship with Shantaram...Errr....very soon.

Hapiness scares me
It scared Amir's mom as well....
When you get too much of it...
It is an indication to something horrible about to happen.
Don't give me too much hapiness god.
Pls.
I fear it.

I stare into your eyes
I see the same fear creeping in
You tell me
It will be fine.
I nod.
We smile at each other and embrace.
But we know what the next day holds...
We know what our futue holds...
There is an unspoken understanding between us.
An unspoken never ending love.

I fall down
I muster up the courage to get up.
I see you.
I call out your name. You keep walking...
Is it too late?
Or have you gone deaf?
I run behind you.
I lose you in the crowd.
I fall down.
I can't get up again.
I don't want to.

I saw this very interesting tool known as the autoviewer to develop a page for all you photographers to showcase their work.

It looks absolutely brilliant.

It might be very useful for Vikas. Try it dude!

Here's the Link :
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/projects/autoviewer/

I have made a page using this as well.
But all the pictures used are not mine. And not "oh so great"!

If I do come up with something marvellous before you, I shall publish it.

Whenever I miss you
I look forward to a new day...
Whenever my heart aches
I tell it to relax....just a few more hours
But once time flies past
And the days pass
I miss you
Today
And Tomorrow.
Time doesn't fly.
Yet it doesn't stop.
Where is the new day now?
Where are the few more hours now?

Do you people like this template....
Oh well....this is forgotten land....gottA revive it !!
