Merry Christmas!!!

My best season is here..I just love it!! From the christmas trees to santa claus to gifts and bells and mistletoes!!!The cold crisp weather and the promise of lots of parties..I already did a good deed for the day and will make an effort to do more for the whole week..Definitely the christmas spirit catching up!!
I guess this blog is long overdue...but seriously didn't have anything to write about and then I get comments like" how boring , Tina" and " you can do better"..which made me a little concious..but then I am wondering tht this is not about wht people think and like..this space is abt me and my life and feelings ..and if I want I can write crap and more crap...
I have been feelign a little confused abt some stuff lately..its the conflict of living at home or away..as I have had a chance to experience both and the more I stay at home the more I want to stay and the more I don't...but then no situation is always black n white and I guess this is one of those..
and for all you annonymous commentators I really didn't make coffee for many and I am sure it's JD, Panku and daani gang...so please be kind enough to put ur names up there..kind of makes the whole thing more interesting..and I make good coffee..and if u reveal ur name I will defintely call u( see I am putting forth a good propsal..a call from me n all)
ok..enough of timepass..back to work..

Jerry Springer - Tina's Story

[The crowd starts chanting "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!"]

Jerry: Tonight on "The Jerry Springer Show" we have a particularly interesting episode! Tina is here to finally confess something to a long-time friend, Geetika. So everyone, please put your hands together for Tina![The crowd whoops and hollers]

Jerry: Okay, now Tina you're here to talk about someone aren't you?

You: Yes.Jerry: And what is this other person's name?

You: Shailendra.[The crowd squeals with delight]

Jerry: Okay, okay, well Shailendra, is actually here tonight .[The crowd squeals]

Jerry: But first we have a surprise for you Tina, because as it happens there is someone else here to see you! So let's bring out ... Jaidev!

You: What the HELL!!!

[Out of nowhere you pull out a guns. Jaidev reaches for the chair. Out of the shadows Rahul appears]

Rahul: Wait everybody, wait!

Jerry: Yes, everybody let's just calm down for a moment here. First, tell us why you're here Jaidev.

Jaidev: Because I saw Tina and Rahul making out at benetton!

[The crowd goes absolutely insane]Rahul: That's a lie! I was home watching Friends!

Jerry: [raising his hands] Hold on, hold on, I'm missing the problem here ... what exactly is the problem Jaidev?

Jaidev: Because I've recently been taking part in a sexual relationship with Geetika who has recently become engaged to Rahul.[The crowd hollers, screams and whoops in an orchestra of orgasmic excitement]

Jerry: Okay, okay. Well why don't we bring Geetika out here because Tina had something that they needed to tell them anyway about ... Shailendra that's right!

Geetika: [enters onto stage and saunters over towards you] What's the deal? I saw you outside getting it on with Shailendra! You know how I feel about Shailendra!

Rahul: [screams] What? Why the hell did you ask me to marry you if you're in love with Shailendra!

Geetika: Because I knew that I could never have Shailendra. But Tina promised me that they'd never hook up out of respect for my feelings!

Rahul: What about respect for my feelings![Jaidev walks suddenly across the stage, embracing Geetika]

Jaidev: Don't worry baby, you don't need any of them now that you have me.[Again the crowd squeals]

Rahul: Oh my God! Are you sick!?

[Rahul runs across the room and wraps their arms around you tightly]

Rahul: Tina take me away from all of this!

You: You see? That's the thing ... I'm ... well, I'm married .[The crowd does its bit]

Rahul: Married?[You nod]

Rahul: Who the hell are you married to? When ... when did this happen? I don't understand!

You: The other day. In Vegas. I'm married to Shailendra.

Geetika: [screaming] WHAT!!!

Jerry: [grinning widely, makes an enquiry] So ... did you have a nice wedding night?

Shailendra: [stepping back out onto center stage] Well we had sex 9 times if that's what you mean.[The crowd squeals]

Jerry: Okay, okay. So let me get this all straight ... Tina is married to Shailendra who Geetika has secretly been in love with for years and years. Now Geetika has recently become engaged to Rahul who was recently spotted kissing Tina in benetton. Now on top of this, Jaidev has just admitted to being in a sexual relationship with Geetika.Shailendra: That's right Jerry.

Jerry: [looking sternly into the camera] It's times like these that one has to wonder whether or not these people are aware that they are quite clinically insane. Perhaps we should be spending more on psychiatric health funds in this country, perhaps we should just ban Vegas to cut down on impulse marriages. Perhaps I should get a new job. Thanks for watching folks - it's been great - but for now, take care of yourselves ... and each other.

[Cue cheesy background music and fade to black]

LIFE IS QUEER WITH ITS TWISTS AND TURNS

AS EVERYONE OF US, SOMETIMES LEARNS.

AND MANY A FELLOW TURNS ABOUT

WHEN HE MIGHT HAVE WON HAD HE STUCK IT OUT.

DON’T GIVE UP THOUGH THE PACE SEEMS SLOW

YOU MAY SUCCEED WITH ANOTHER BLOW.

OFTEN THE GOAL IS NEARER,

THAN IT SEEMS TO A FAINT AND FALTERING MAN.

OFTEN THE STRUGGLER HAS GIVEN UP,

WHEN HE MIGHT HAVE CAPTURED THE VICTOR’S CUP.

AND HE LEARNED TOO LATE WHEN THE NIGHT CAME DOWN

HOW CLOSE HE WAS TO THE GOLDEN CROWN.

just liked it..sorry dhruv for using it on my blog..but it is really nice..

and life goes on...

woke up today to a night full of dreams..dreams of the past..of people and places..got me thinking..was sitting in my balcony with my tea and newsapaper and wondering why everyhting comes to an end..and why did it end???before i could think further, shivani barged in and said u have 15 mins in the loo, so get ur ass moving..ofcourse I took longer and finished all the hot water..still feeling pensive and already a little depressed i put on the radio...and this is the way god speaks to me..the song blaring was" alla ke bande has de, jo bhi ho kal phir aayega" and there I was back to the present..
Letting go of the past is real tough for me, but then i know that I have a choice of making my present beautiful so I can always have a good past..
OK enough, lemme get down to doing some work around here..
