Attacked!!!

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

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

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.

Mind your Language "Please"!

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!!"

Movies!

    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....

   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!!
