Fame or Embarrassment

2010-08-04T10:39:00.000-07:00

Its been quite sometime..infact, really long time since i've posted anything here. Dunno why but I dont feel like putting anything here. I have quite a lot of things on my mind but i'm unable to express them in words.."writer's block" (though i'm not really much of a writer).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was watching 'The Simpsons' the other day. Now that the cable guy has done the most angelic job of putting Star World back on, I just can't help but stay glued to it. You can call it "Bad TV addiction"[:D], but I absolutely love watching Star World !

So I was watching 'The Simpsons' and the episode was the one where Bart Simpson discovers that Homer and Marge made him do a commercial as a baby where he was.....

"Baby Stink-Breath" [XD]

Well just as expected, he is highly embarrassed after knowing this and gets all upset when the kids around start teasing him by that name.

This made me think (Nowadays I get ideas from such shows only [;)])......
What do these little babies who appear in the diaper commercials (where they are made to do all weird embarrassing things) feel about it when they grow up???

Like the ad where the baby is running in the house without any pants or diaper on, away from everyone who are trying to "COOCHIE COO" his/her butt and eventually the baby's mom (in the commercial) catches the baby and "COOCHIE COOS" the baby's butt!!

Or the one where the baby is walking around with a loose diaper and it comes off! I guess it was for some pant style diaper.

We people find these ads really cute because these babies are really really cute. But what about them?
How would they feel about this kind of "exposure" :P on Television when they grow a little older??

Would they be proud that they are famous??
Anything for fame! OR
Would they be embarrassed that their parents let anything of this sort happen?? :D ;)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what I could think of writing to shoo away the block..atleast i did manage to write something however weird and absurd it may be. :D

Adios!!

I wish..

My vacations just got over last week.This vacation was a little bit different from others because other than just planning the Things-to-do I actually did a few things during the initial part of my vacation. Read two awesome books-- A Thousand Splendid Suns- Khaled Hossieni and Da Vinci Code - Dan Browm. Other than that preparations for placements and then getting placed...YES!! I got placed!!

As I utilized the first half of my vacation quite efficiently, the second half had to be my lazing time. After all I had to live up to my reputation. I was pretty jobless. The whole day watching TV--Facebook--watching TV again XD

Well during this time I did something that only a jobless person could do..Watch the CID episodes' marathon run.:D When I was a kid I used to watch CID as a serious thriller show. Now its nothing more than a comedy show!! Awesome comedy I must say!! Some preposterous forensic evidences and conclusions make me laugh my guts out and Fredrick's acting...WOW!! super duper!! :P Daya,The Door Breaker and The Slap Machine. In fact believe it or not; On facebook there is a fan page of "DAYA DARWAZA TOD DO." MAny other pages dedicated to CID can also be found there. Though I may make fun of it,there is one thing that I like about CID.

The cases are solved so quickly. The criminal then narrates why he committed the crime (Of course, not before Daya's thappad :D) and then the ACP's dialog, "Ab ya to tumhe faasi ki saza hogi ya aajivan kaaraavaas."

I wish that would have happened in real life too. Here it takes years and years to convict someone and then the punishments are also a joke. Eg. 6 months imprisonment for molesting a girl!! This makes me wonder..."Why aren't our punishments harsher??" The crime rate in our country has increased by many folds. Shouldn't something be done to curb it? Why not introduce harsher punishments for serious proven crimes? Unless and until that happens , the criminal minds in our country are going to flourish and be carefree about facing any harsh punishments for their crimes. It would be like...India hai...Dubai nahi..maximum punishment for a few years.(Btw Dubai crime rate is almost zero..barring some immigration crimes..also the punishment for even 'petty' crimes like theft are also very harsh).

As i say this I must also mention here that I recently saw in the News --> Death sentence given to 2 kidnappers to set an example. I think it is a welcomed move and hoping it will help reduce the crime rate and many more such initiatives are taken.

Adios.

Now I Know Why!!

Wednesday,the 30th,was like any other day. Reaching the college at 9:15 for an 8:15 lecture; attending ALL OF THEM and waiting at the bus stop looking at all the crowd getting into the bus so that I can get into a relatively empty bus. Me and my friend were doing tp at the bus stop staring at people..its fun you know..observing different people...their expressions..their actions.

We were busy doing that when we noticed a boy not more than 7-8 years old staring at people's bags in a very suspicious way. Firstly, let me describe the bus stop for you. Whenever the college leaves,the bus stop is overcrowded with college students.So you find a lot of people who have their bags behind them.

Back to this guy..He was suspiciously moving around. So we decided to observe him what he is upto. Whenever any bus came at the stop and the crowd rushed there,he used to rush along with them but not get into the bus.We saw it happen 3 times that too the buses were of completely different destinations. He then used to go to his friend who was standing nearby with a cycle. By this time we realized that he was upto no good..but we werent able to catch him red handed as it was highly crowded.
Then came another bus.This time we saw him open a girl's bag.My friend without giving it a second thought ,quickly caught his hand.He made an innocent face and said "Jaane do na....bus pakadna hai."

My friend : "Uss ladki ka bag kyon khola?"
Boy:"Nahi Khola...jaane do na."
Me: "Police ko bulau kya??"
Boy:"Jaane do na...phir aisa nahi karoonga."
The police threat scared the boy.By then people gathered.
One guy (to my friend): "Did he steal something belonging to you?"
My friend :"No."
That guy:"Then why have you caught him??Let him go na."
My friend :"Fine he didnt take anything from me...but tommorow if he steals something from you, are u going to say 'Let him go'?"
One rickshaw driver: "Maine dekha usey bag kholte huey..par baccha hai...jaane do."
Well, we then warned him..
"Phir aisa kuch karte huey mila toh police ke pass de denge"
Boy:"nahi karoonga...haath chodo na."

As soon as my friend let go of his hand...he ran away,sat on his friend's cycle and vanished out of our sight. We did feel a sense of relief that we managed to save some wallets for the day. But we know somehow that he isn't going to stop it.If not this bus stop..then some other stop.

But two things shocked me to the core:
First:::: The guy was so small..must be hardly 7-8 years old.As much as I was angry with that guy, I did feel a sense of pity for him..so much that my "Police ko bulau" dialog sounded like "candy doon" !!--my friend tells me this.hehe
I HOPE he finds the right track..Dear GOD..please help him!! ^_^

Second:::: The attitude of people around.It was TERRIBLE. This guy is stealing things and no one is bothered. Of course,we had no intention of calling the police..because we believe that it would harm his childhood that he can still regain.But had the people around us reacted more sternly..probably it would have had a deeper impact on that boy. But with the "jaane do..baccha hai" attitude..i wonder if the kid was really scared at a point or he was acting.
The "AS LONG AS I'M NOT ON THE RECEIVING END,I DON'T CARE" Attitude was so prevalent among people there.

And NOW I KNOW WHY........
Why my country is in such a poor state of affairs..
Its because people dont care if someone gets robbed or mobbed or molested or even killed!!!
They are not the ones suffering na...so why bother??
I feel so sorry for my country and I hope there are atleast a few people around who will react the way my friend did and not like the others standing there!!It would definitely help her!

On a lighter note...The GQ ultimate man of the yr 2009 award went to Bebo's Saifuuu..
Me asking....."KYUUUUUUU???"

Marriages are made....ON TELEVISION!

2009-09-28T04:38:00.000-07:00

Initially,it was just the families and the priests...then the marriage bureaus,next came the internet with the matchmaking portals and the latest entrant in the world of matchmaking is....(drums on roll)..TELEVISION or hamare pyaare TV ji.
I remember Madhuri Dixit used to host such a show 'Kahin na kahin koi hai' which reminds me of 'SHHH! koi hai'...dunno why :D
After the show turned out to be a SUPER DUPER FLOP..TV ji backed out of this business.But IT'S BACK again!! And the trend setter is none other than our very own Indian Paris Hilton --->Rakheeee Sawant.(Taliyan Taliyan)..
Honestly when I heard that there were around 1200 applicants to be her 'var'...I actually fell off my chair. "Did recession hit these guys so bad"???"Are they out of their mind"???"Is Rakhi 'jee' the new ideal bride"??? Anyways so there was a show now and Rakhi was going to start the process of selecting her 'var' and my mind started the useless process of thinking how the show was going to end.
One outcome of this process was:(yeah i talks n walks only technical language :D)
--->She decides to get back with her ex bf Abhishek..
"Abhishek main sirf tumhari hoon aur tumhari hi rahoongi(imagine an 80's actress saying that)...Press ko bulao..aur double media ko bulao...mera var sirf ABhishek hi hai!!!"
Then i got another shock...the show ended (i dunno when) and she decided to marry some NRI uncle!!whoa!!totally unexpected!A real Swayamvar!!

And the trend has begun..Now theres Lux ki perfect bride..oops..i mean "lux" perfect Bride,where 5 betas with their mummies are going to select dulhanns for them.The mummies are going to play typical saas it seems..Seriously,how ridiculous can it get..Heres i imagine how much..

Beta:Mummy Mummy can I marry her?
Mummy:No beta..she is taller than you!

Beta:Mummy Mummy can I marry her then?
Mummy:No beta...she is a masahaari..she doesn't know how to treat animals (i'm sure she'll mistreat you too!)

Beta:Mummy Mummy can I marry Rakhi Sawant then?
Mummy: *slaps hard* Kya duniya ki sari ladkiyan mar gayi hain??? Dont u know she has her var and also a baby now!!

Well as I was imagining after matchmaking..What next??But hamare TV ji itne smart hai ke ab kya bolu.Now TV ji will give couples training on 'How to manage small babies'. It has Rakhi Sawant again with her NRI uncle and its on NDTV Imagine.
I wonder why does Imagine care so much about Ms. Sawant..first her Swayamvar and now training to become a good Mommy!!Kudos to imagine!!What a challenge!!

As the show airs today...I again wonder..WHAT NEXT??? And i hope that our dear TV ji has no such answer to it.

P.S. :- Btw Himesss uncle is back with his faltoo..oops i mean fultoo attitude...and bajofying his maaannnn kaaa radiyyon...
HELP!!!

Sad thoughts.

2009-06-26T05:42:00.000-07:00

21st June was the final of the ICC T20 world cup....and I being a cricket fanatic (i can proudly say that i am 1 of the few girls who likes cricket because of cricket and not because of the cricketers :)...though i do like a few of them:D) was definitely watching it!

Sri Lanka v/s Pakistan....i was a little disappointed that India didnt make it to the finals..but then they didnt play that good enough so they didnt deserve it!I was rooting for Sri Lanka..nothing against Pakistan....but SL has 1 of my Fav players..kumar Sangakarra..so I was on sri lanka's side...and as usual...the team that I support never manages to win!!:(....(99% of the times that happens)

Initially I was a bit disappointed...but then I switched on a NEWS channel where they showed videos of Pakistani fans celebrating...doing the nagin dance and all.
It brought a big smile on my face. Yes,SL lost...but there was something more important that happened..the ppl of Pakistan got something to celebrate.The past few weeks must hav been difficult for ppl there because of all the tension going on over there..we hear of bomb blasts every day...and in such times...a world cup must be like being on the top of the world!!So..in all I was happy!

But yesterday i read an article in the newspaper in which Shahid Afridi said that the Indians were not happy playing against us..that really pissed me off!
Dude!!U've won a World cup...you are being worshipped as a hero in your country...why do you have to say all these things and spoil the happy atmosphere around???C'mon I dnt think India will ever do that...thats my personal opnion of course!but a strong belief that they wont do that..If u are sulking at a moment when you should be dancing with joy...and cherishing every moment..then you've got a serious problem Mr.!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saw on the news just now..Michael Jackson no more! thats a really sad news that came up today....but what was more sad was the way people were talking about him in a negative way.
Sure...he has had a lot of controversies....but you can't deny THE fact that he was for sure the King of Pop!His songs were a craze...and his dance moves...wow!! (I tried to do the moon walk once...almost sprained my leg...and plus had all my folks laughing their heart out!)

I was taught this as a child..that when someone passes away..you shudnt be talking bad abt him no matter how many bad things he might hav done..so it did disappoint me!!
I'm sure being a celeb in hollywood must not be easy at all...the cameras following you every where...and their bad sides will come up to but you cant ignore their talent...

Like for eg. Britney Spears...her life is overflowing with controversies!!!But you cant deny the fact that shes one of the best popstars ever!!But if u curse or talk about some one like Lindsay Lohan..Of course i wont blame u then..the girls got no talent(atleast she hasnt shwn any till date) and only controversies in her life!!

I so hope that ppl start taking out positives out of other ppl lives and talk about it and not the negative ones.

Michael Jackson R.I.P

One phone call...and it changes your life track completely!!!
No..it wasn't from God :D (ppl who've read 1 night @ the call center will probably understand the joke intended)

Actually I was quite confused about what to do after my engineering...its my final year,so its high time..i should start thinking about it..
So I called up a career guidance counsellor of jaan-pehchaan :D
My first question was obviously about placements!!What else does a "budding" engineer think about?? I asked him about the current placement scenario.He said its really bad..hardly any placements happening now...That is something i didnt want to hear at all!!But i guess thats the truth...have to live with it :(
That means I have to study further and make myself more "valueable". The options I had: MS ,ME and MBA.I dont want to do MS or ME...so that leaves me with MBA!!
A year back from now I never ever gave even a small thought to doing MBA.. All I thought about was how I have to work for placements..get a good job and then manage it..and now here I am looking for a good class for CAT training . I know that I have to bell the CAT in 2010 for sure!
Well...It did affect my plans for vacations though..Now my driving license will have to wait for a while and so will the guitar maybe..Btw I completed cleaning my room..*phew*
And now along with my BE I have an MBA to do!! :) or :( (really don't know)

Finally....Its here!!!

2009-06-12T03:54:00.000-07:00

Finally,its here!!!! Its VACATION TIME!!!! Yippeee!!! Feels so good to have a break after such a hectic schedule...that too such a long break....42 days!!! mamma mia!!
The most precious 42 days because after that my final year starts...BE....and its not gonna be a cakewalk for sure.I struggled a lot in coping up with the 6th semester..so a bit nervous about the 7th & 8th.So I hope they are 42 days of fun and I hope to make the most out of it.
Well,I've planned a TO-DO list for this vacation and i hope i can do it!! :D
Here's my list:::>

#1.. Get my driver's license:::>
I was never too keen to learn driving.Mumbai's traffic scares me like anything!
But its always important to know something which can help you in case of any emergency.So i've decided to learn driving! I hope it shooos away my fear of driving a car in mumbai's traffic..hehe..

#2.. Complete reading the Twilight series:::>

Okay...I've heard enough about Twilight!!so now...I want to read it :D..
The best part is that i have the whole series at home.my sis has already completed reading it.She says its for the hopelessly romantic ones....hmm..okay...its definitely for me then!!! :D

#3.. Clean up my room!!! :::>
My room is a total mess! And believe me its not just a 1 or 2 day job to complete cleaning it!Its even scarier than the mumbai traffic! **OK..exaggerated....nothing can be worse than mumbai traffic** All my books lying here and there..some on the bed...another mountain sort of heap on my study table..and some even on the dining table..hehe..Well the good thing would be tht it would help me in losing a few pounds :D
Wish me Luck!!!

#4.. Wanna play a GUITAR
And last but not the least I want to learn to play a guitar..its so cool!!and i'm gonna start this summer...well not summer actually...b'coz its almost rainy season...so i'm gonna start it now! Sailo has one beauty and she is pretty good at it.So she'll teach me, i hope.

Well I hope I complete...umm...start and complete all the things that I've planned *fingers crossed*!!

P.S.
Have you see Eminem's new video from his new album Relapse???Its disgusting & irritating! And its on #1 on VH1's Top 10!!!People what wrong with you???

Attacked!!!

2009-03-05T06:45:00.000-08:00

Its HOLI time...but wait!!!Its not right now but a whole WEEK later...
Why don't People remember it??Why do they want to make every Festival soooo unpleasant????
Yesterday..was just like any other day....reached college at 9:05am as usual(it starts at 9:00 :D )....sat through the boring lectures....attended practicals where everyone around me was playing CounterStrike and I...well PinBall!!And then back home.
While I was walking back home from the bus stop...some dumb idiotic character from 1 of the buildings threw a water balloon on me..Luckily it missed me...but my shoe was not so fortunate!!My favourite pair of shoes!!*sob sob* All dirty!!!I felt like shouting out a hundred thousand abuses (these are the times when you should use them ;))..but then a second thought crossed my mind...."if i stand here even for a minute longer my white shirt's gonna be no longer white!!"I walked away from there as fast as i could*yes i m a big coward*..Couldnt even see tht persons face....coz tht stupid rat went and hid inside his bunker.
Why cant people live peacefully and let others live peacefully????What pleasure do they get by targetting poor pedestrians??My travelling allowance during Holi(thats 10 days b4 and after Holi) is much higher bcoz i travel by rickshaw in order to save my clothes and bag...and plus i hav to keep all my whites and lites packed out of my wardrobe...dont want to take any risk!
Like I mentioned in one of my earlier posts...Festivals are no longer that source of happiness and togetherness that they should be..and like every year Holi(actually the week before Holi)is going to be that troubling experience that it has been always!*sigh*
Again A HOPE that probably people would understand that maybe throwing balloons from the terrace of their apartments might be fun for them...but it is defintely not for the person walking by!!
Dear God,please please help them!!!

P.S. :I still havnt got my result yet and ma'am say enjoy your holi...its not comin before tht..
but the point is how do we enjoy???Exactly two months since our exams got over!!
Darn MU!!!

Adios!! :)

Why-O-Why

2009-03-02T08:31:00.000-08:00

There are some days in your life when you want everything to be just perfect...but nothing goes your way and all you can say is Why-O-Why???

It was our college cultural fest and I was a participant in Antakshari.I was so HAPPY..2 Reasons for that:

It was second year in a row that I got selected for the finals and

This time there was no Miss OC in my team :)

Now let me tell you about this Ms. OC....

Last year she was with us in the finals and this year in the auditions,we were made one team.First round in auditions was the normal antakshari round and here i realized the disadvantages of having a soft voice.OC has a loud voice and everytime we got an alphabet she would start singing without consulting with us.
It was like I was singing 1 song .....suddenly she starts with another one and eventually I had to sing what she was singing 'coz my voice was barely heard!! :( I was so pissed off!! I thought...'there goes my chance....buh bye antakshari'...but a sudden change of fate in other rounds and Neha and I got selected and OC failed to make it..I was so happy and relieved...My conscience told me...'Pri this is really bad,you shouldnt enjoy someones failure..you'll regret it later' and I said,'Shut up!!I am 100% happy tht shez not selected and you are definitely not spoiling it!!!'

25th Feb,2009..Our antakshari...Neha and I reached college by 11am and headed towards the auditorium..There we met OC..she came to us and said,"All the Best guys!"...I was like..'How sweet!Probably shez not tht bad after all'...then she added," Last time we made somesilly mistakes,this time WE must not repeat them."..'Wait a minute...did she just say WE???'I looked at Neha and she had the same puzzled look tht I had tht moment.Then Ms. OC told us tht her friend who got selected left the place for her and I thought....

"WOWW!What a friend!!But friendship dikhaane ke liye use antakshari hi mili thi!!"X(

And there started OCs oversmartness and domination!!Firstly,I wanted to sit in the front row..(I wore my best top that day for tht reason!)..but she quickly ran to the front seat.Neha offered me other front seat but she is a better singer anyday..so she deserved to sit in the front and so I declined it...And so I sat hidden behind them..*sob sob*

The main thing was tht she brought such a negative energy in the team...with tht 'I-know-it-all-u-r-dumbos' attitude tht it became really frustating and irritating to sit there...
Plus to add to it,"The judges",pataa nahi kaunse janam ka badlaa le rahe the.A lot of places where i could hav easily argued tht we deserved points and we wernt given any.....but I cudnt bcoz eventually they are my professors!And so I sat there hiding my frustration with a huge smile..And my conscience was jumping and dancing...'I told you na...you'll regret it later'...

Well.as a result of all the mess,we came Second LAst!!WHOA!!!from second,last year to second last this year!what a shame!!Actually our cultural this year was prety average as compared to what it was last year...So a bad day!! :( Hoping such days never show up again...and always listen to your conscience......otherwise it gets an opportunity to taunt you :P

P.S. :Currently listening to Taylor Swift ka songs these days...all thanks to Sailo!!Taylor's good! :)
And yeah koi mera result mujhe laa do....MU/Coll<---Hadd kardi aapne!!!

Adios! :)

Festivals

2009-01-15T04:09:00.000-08:00

I was supposed to post it yesterday.....but felt lazy to do so...so posting it today!!
HAPPY MAKAR SANKRANTI!! and HAPPY PONGAL!!
You know one advantage of staying in Mumbai is...You get to witness celebrations of almost all the festivals...
Yesterday Makar Sankranti was celebrated as pompously as any other festival..You know.."Tilgul ghya god god bola"(i love those laddoos..yum) and people shouting "kaypo che"...it all brings smile on my face...

I was looking out and saw how colourful the sky looked with those colourful kites...btw did you notice the kites with all these celebs on them... katrina,deepika,ranbir,srk n all...Haa..ppl and their inventions!!But one thing I noticed disturbed me..Poor little birds!they looked so confused as to where to fly.. I think they were confused bcoz the kite ka manjha must be coming in their way...I read sometime back tht many birds get injured bcoz of this...you feel so sorry for them. but then each festival has its share of cons..like
HOLI...Its total menace as its approaching..you cannot venture out of your house at least a week before or your clothes are either wet or colourful when you come back home...then theres DIWALI-- 1 festival I am always eagerly waiting for..You know all lovely gifts,new clothes and yummy delicious sweet*mouth watering*..so Diwali-a festival of Lights or is it Diwali- a festival of pollution...The view from my house is very beautiful...mountains on 1 side and tall skyrises on other side...but during diwali I am unable to see any of them bcoz of the amount of smoke!!! and all you pray is tht you dont become deaf!!There are many more such festivals..
I love these festivals but I wish these could be celebrated in a peaceful and less polluting ways..We've already hurt Mother Nature a lot..I hope we dont do it anymore..I know I do sound like a complaining person..I but feel so helpless..Like I cant do anything other than just me following it...
btw this post very small in front of my other lamba chauda posts :D i'll end it with a few lines of a song i like...
GAZING THRU THE WINDOW AT THE WORLD OUTSIDE
WONDERING WILL MOTHER EARTH SURVIVE,
HOPING THAT MANKIND WILL STOP ABUSING HER...
SOMETIME..

I'M JUST A DREAMER,
I DREAM MY LIFE AWAY,
I'M JUST A DREAMER,
WHO DREAMS OF BETTER DAYS.

2009-01-13T10:34:00.000-08:00

Date:10th January 2009-----------------------Time:7:00pm

I was glued to my TV like any other 20 something person..sounds senseless..Wait a min... correction:I was glued to MTV like any other 20 something and now you know the reason why! Yes,it was the first episode of MTV Roadies 6.0 Hell Down Under!!I just love to watch all those adventurous tasks that these people do except for the ones where they have to eat some creatures and then they puke it out...YUCK!!! I feel sometimes that I should be doing those tasks but then I come back to ground reality.....I am way too "darrpok" to do most of these tasks!!

Anyways they planned to delay the start a lil bit..I got to see the preview of the entire season before the 1st episode and I realized something....The number of beeps has increased like anything..Roadies 5.0 wala roadies sounded like saints in front of these roadies!!Personally,this part of roadies is something i hate..even though i say hate...i like 1 thing...I can proudly say,"Look at these people....they have a pathetic vocabulary than ME..thats why this is all that they can say!!!";)

I have an awful vocabulary...I'm trying to improve it though....I remember 1 episode of my life..this was when i was in FE..Sem 2...I was the CR of my class and we had this Physics prof.. She is a very moody woman..One day she would yell at you and insult you like anything and the next day she would be the sweetest person around..And me being the CR had to bear the brunt of her mood swings most of the time...So one fine day(or rather a very ugly day) she insulted me like anything for no fault of mine and almost threw the assignments on my face(i hate ppl who throw books and pages like that.Respect them..they are your source of knowledge!!) The next day she came to our class and told me to stand up..I thought,"Here she goes again..".She asked me,"Are you good at extempore??"The worst part of it was I didnt know then what extempore meant*tch tch..shame shame* All I could do was stare blankly at her with the typical confused look that I have.Then my friend who was sitting besides me understood my problem and told me the meaning of extempore...My immediate reaction was "OHH YES!Uhh..I mean yes ma'am I am." Then she said,"Why dont you audition for being the host for Sojourn(thts our cultural fest)....You've got the looks!!" I was like..."What happened to her???Did someone hit her on her head(was a possibility u knw..with the kind of nature she has :D)..and I said in the sweetest way.."Sure ma'am I will".. Ofcourse i didnt..because I had this huge stage fright then(I did manage to overcome it...details later)...But two things from this episode..... First That I have an awfully awful vocabuary(it was very embarassing)..and secondly... OMG!!People can have worst and terrible type of mood swings.God save ppl like me frm them!

Btw I took the topic from where to WHERE..It was about Roadies and how my vocab is better than theirs...These ppl...oooff!!I mean dont they know any other words or what!!!All we can hear is the F-word and a bunch of other heavy weight abuses and that too when these words are completely irrelevant to what they are saying!!Those beeps are totally useless..even a school kid knows what words they are using!But seriously not just roadies..this is the present day scenario of the Gen-X..The youth..The guys in college feel itchy if they dont use the F-word atleast once and surprisingly its not just the Guys...even Girls too*hey Ram!!aaj kal ki ladkiyan...tch tch*...not that I am some dadi amma :D ....but Thankfully I am not into this and Thank you MOM for this..(details later)...I know all the bad words,"I think"...but I never use them*full of pride*..However it is very much essential to know them or you could be in a situation like..

Some dumbo: You are a #%$@$%%$ %$##$!!!

You:Wow!!really? AAwww...thats so sweet of you!!Muah!!

This could be one of the worst situation u can face...So know your abuses but dont use them "PLEASE"!! Whoa...Who am i kidding..Me saying please isnt gonna change your language unless you actually try to!Well,I did give it an attempt! :) So people who like to use abuses..all i can say is"Get well soon MAMU!!"

Signing off...Adios Amigos!!

Movies!

2009-01-11T10:06:00.000-08:00

2008 was a great year for movies.So many nice movies!And by nice i mean the ones with nice storyline and awesome script and direction...some amazing cinematography....

By the way i just realized that i actually use the word 'nice' quite frequently(i was told this by my friend and i didnt quite believe it...btw quite is another such word :D)

So back to movies.....Here are the movies that i saw in 2008 and they rocked..some of them released much before 2008..but i saw them now..not tht i am some movie critic...but i love to act like one :D so here it goes...

A Wednesday::: What a movie!!!The most unpredictable end that i have ever seen.One movie that speaks for the common man in these times of terror...its high time now...something needs to be done about this problem.Well Nasseruddin Shah was Fabulous in the movie..See even low budget movies work...in fact they have the ability of becoming the best movie of the year..Ahem ahem...Is some Mr chopra listening?? they dont need to spend a fortune on making irritating movies like Tashan...which just promotes some size zero and stupid songs[white white face dekhe dilwa beating fast sasura chance maare re :o] and also useless action.. I just hope one thing,that this movie does not influence people to do anything like what naserruddin shah did in that movie.
Pursuit of Happyness::: It released before 2008..but i got to see it in 2008..and no i am not that bad at spellings...it is spelt as HappYness....I have to admit this..I was not a Will Smith fan before is saw this movie...He is completely awesome in this one!When Chris Gardener(Will smith) is happy you feel happy..When he is struggling to find a shelter for him and his son....you feel so sad{yes i get emotional while watching emotional scenes}..A must watch movie!!
Bruce Almighty::: I wanted to see this movie long back..But one of my friends told me that its an adult movie..The good girl that I am...I waited till i became an adult..And i dont know why...They was nothing so adult about it..Well,I just love Jim Carrey for his crazy acts.A very sweet movie..Being God is after all not that simple..so next time you wish you were God...think again..I especially liked the idea that when Jim becomes God he receives millions of prayers as emails on his PC..Now thats an idea..sirjee..Nice imagination!
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na::: Such a chweeeet movie! A simple story...Girl Boy Best Friends-find different lovers-then realize they love each other-And an airport climax...predictable yet sweet...Everyone in this movie was cool..Rats and Meow...after this movie,there were so many ppl around me calling each other Rats and meow[Brrr]..so now being called a chuha is not bad :P & Jiggy cracked some silly jokes in his gujju accent(some were not even jokes)..and yet i laughed so hard on them(generally i keep a straight face when someone speaks something silly)...and Rotlu and Bombs..What a jodi!!..and My Favourite Amit...I quite liked Prateik Babbar in the movie..waiting for his next release eagerly:) that Ranjhor ka Rathore twist was fun to watch!

Rock On!!::: I had way too high expectations from this movie and probably thats why i was disappointed when i saw it...The songs rocked but the movie didnt..way too slow yaar..Farhan was good..I completely adore him...director-singer-actor-anchor...what next??..so were purab and luke..and arjun's looks were wow!!His expressions[??] helped him in the movie.. And pj i am still so jealous of you coz you got too see farhan in person!!
Jodha Akbar::: I kind of liked this movie...Hrithik as Akbar Was GRAND!! and Ash as Jodha...well....whatever..Yes a very loooong never ending kind of movie..but the music is good...and also the story.
Race::: Hey Bhaggu!!!the number of twists and turns in this movie was totally unbelieveable..Oh Saif is the bad guy...No wait its Akshaye...No No its Bipasha for Sure... OMG its Katrina!!these were my reactions during this movie...One of the very very few movies where i felt saif was good..
Other movie i enjoyed would be Aamir..a thought provoking one.

Movie on my "to watch" list:

Dasvidanya:My sis saw it and she is bragging abt it..so i want ot see it[our taste in movies is quite similiar..except for the action ones...she can tolerate more of the dishoom dishoom than me..i just hate these kind of movies]

Dostana:I havn't seen it yet*slap slap**sob sob*

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi:I am a big Srk pankha..so a must watch for me..but it released during my exams so cudnt catch it then..

Then there's Khuda kay liye,Mumbai meri Jaan,Wall E,Kung Fu panda,HSM3

Well i was planning a not to watch list as well but i can go on and on abt them..i'll put it down some other time...

Btw i am waiting eagerly to watch Slumdog Millionaire this year....already heard so much abt it ...just cant wait to see it.

2008--The Year That Was....

2008-12-31T10:33:00.000-08:00

So,it is the last day of the roller coaster year...."2008"...I decided,"Why not give my books a break from staring,dull,blank face they are used to see even though its eggjham time. :DThis year was like any Blockbuster movie(yeah...I am a movie buff,so i hav this habit of comparing everything to movies)...It was Full of Khushis And loaded with Ghams.This year will be remembered for so many special moments that it has given us...good as well as bad..According to me these were the defining moments of 2008:

1. November 26, 2008

A tragedy no 1 can ever forget..that has in a way managed to unite all of us against terrorism and all the other evils that we face.I still remember,I couldnt take my eyes off the TV that night...It was so painful to see the majestic Taj go up in flames.I've always dreamt of goin there.Thank goodness it still stands there today but I think the scars of this dreadful incident will always remain there.I think all the Indians shared the same emotions during those 62 hours of tragedy unfolding.Frankly,I donno which of my emotions were stronger...my fear n helplessness;the next time i'm walking on the street some guy walking around can just randomly open fire....how am i supposed to save myself??; Or my anger...those dumb loser politicians..how can they make such loose comments about this serious issue...more than their inability...its their statements that angered me the most.I am deeply ashamed that these are(were) our leaders. Well,I hope this tragedy has awaken them up and taught them a good lesson and i hope they are not waiting for any "better" lessons. Also my heart goes out to the family members...who lost their loved ones to this tragedy and I Salute all the bravehearts who saved Mumbai at the cost of their lives...Jai Hind!! Hail Peace!!!

2.Economic Recession

Though i'm ignorant about all these economic terms....I know it has affected people globally..in a bad way..even the super powers stand completely shaken by it.Well,it did manage to bring down the forever escalating prices of stuffs...which is actually a Boon for shopaholics like me..SO...is it Good or Bad??I'm soo confused!!

3.The Rise Of Yellow Journalism

Yes ...Sad but true....these false reports that you see on Tv have such a negative impact on us.if i m not mistaken this is known as Yellow Journalism(i'm not sure though)..This dirty competition of who gets the breaking news First..aargh..doesnt matter if the info mention is true or not...And that darn india tv...i think it should be renamed as "useless news tv" OR "superstitions promotions tv"!!

4.The Rise Of Mr. Coward Bully(you know who!!!)

This loser Finally got all his teeth...so he did blabber out all nonsense and tried to cause regional divides in India... I pray to God that the people who follow these chachas and bhatijas get back to their senses and realize that they are no less than Voldemorts Death Eaters!!!

5. Rafa dethrones The Emperor!

i like Rafa Nadal...but I just love the way Fedex plays!!So it was really disheartening to see the emperor being dethroned!!I am sure that he will bounce back in 2009...most definitely.. You CAn DO IT FeDeX!!!!

6. Beijing Olympics

Our players managed to get Just 1 Gold and 2 bronze Medals....but still....YAYY INDIA!! yayy Abhinav Bindra!!you've made us so proud...All the people now know because of you that Shooting is a full fledged sport(many knew but not all of them)..Yayy vijender singh(boxing) & yayy sushil kumar(wrestling)...you've made us proud too..Keep getting more medals and keep inspiring young talents.

7.And...LAst but not the Least.........

A very good year for the movies..how can i not mention them..some low budget yet mind blowing movies...I'll list them out soon...Also A R Rehman.....You totally rock sir..and now that you've made it to golden globe nominations...All the very best!! and i hope u win!!

So these were the defining moments according to me. On a personal level again it was a roller coaster ride with loads of ups and downs..Loads of confusion and they just keep adding up!! Some fights,some funny moments,some very special moments,some stupid mistakes and realization immediately after commiting them(yup thats totally me!!)..I think i'll put them here in detail some other time..

Heres wishing you a HAPPY,PROSPEROUS & most importantly a PEACEFUL NEW YEAR!!

Engineering!!!!

2008-10-26T10:28:00.000-07:00

I know it been a long time since my first blog…but its so difficult to manage all these stuff when you are an engineering student…
Life as an engineering student is sooo hectic….
I mean…ofcourse there are a lot of fun moments that I was part of….and I thank engineering for that!!!
Like my IV(what an experience!!!),our college fests…both tech and cultural…and also the Lectures..
All of them are total fun..
But the slogging the one has to do is so stressful!!!

The number of assignments for one…..tending to infinity…(ok….infinity is a bit exaggeration…but they are definitely close o 70-80 each sem)is a waste of time..No one takes them seriously. There’s 1 master copy….and the rest assignment are just identical copies!!!!

Secondly….the practical knowledge one gains is close to 0%....
If you are good at rote learning….then you will definitely succeed in the exams…
Sadly, Mugging up=success mantra in engg…atleast in the univ from where I am doing it…

These things really frustrate me…

I mean the future engineers of our country are the ones whose don’t think practically…but just know to mug up things…
SCARY!!!

Well there’s an advantage in this stress as well!!! My parents took me to Goa(*all smiles*)to relieve my stress…Goa is So RELAXING!!!

Anyways….so this was the reason for just a long gap between my first post and this post…
Now…I have my PL going on…so I can put all my thoughts here more frequently. See I already have 2 posts in 1 day!!
Signing off…adios!!

1.If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?

i would definitely feel deeply hurt....probably cry....but then get over it eventually...

crying helps me get over things more easily...rather than just ignoring it..

ignoring things keeps me frustated all the time...not able to concentrate on anything else!

2. If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?

probably go back to my childhood....and enjoy those moments all over again!!:)

3. Whose butt would you like to kick?

All the jerks who are causing regional divides in our country..just hate these ppl from the bottom of my heart!!X(

MY FIRST BLOG!

2008-07-20T02:38:00.000-07:00

There is nothing like good or bad,
but thinking makes it so.
-William Shakespeare

Personally,I think a LOT...so much that i have almost turned into an insomniac... can't sleep...just keeping on thinking something or the other...like right now I was thinking how to start my blog..MY FIRST BLOG :)...what could be better than writing about my thoughts!
Like I said,I think a lot.It might be on the smallest of issues or even the issues that don't have any connection with me..or they are of least concern....but yet they are my thoughts,my thinking.....MY BELOVED THOUGHTS!!
I have always had the desire to express my feelings,but I have rarely ever done it..so I thought, 'Why not do it through blogs?' Most of the people who know me,know that I am a total 'think tank'.My best friend's favourite and most mouthed dialogue is..."tp don't think so much or else dimaag phat jaayega...kaboom!!" But I can't really help it....I have been doing this since my childhood.Whenever we studied or read any stories about any Famous personalities,I would always think...'What if he would have done it the other way round??'...as if me thinking about it was going to change whatever that person did!!!
As I grew,my thinking process grew and now they are finding it difficult to accommodate within my mind.So they are moving out...yes they are!!!
Blogs are very comfortable accommodation for them I "think".

Of course,they won't vacate my mind at once...they'll surely do it but quite slowly. After all,its not easy for them to move to a new place after staying for such a long time in a nice cozy place ;)
