I can't believe it's been 2 months since i wrote on my blog...just shows how busy I have been...and since i got a popular demand for updating it, i thought i might as well do the honours...do i give too much gyaan in this space? mebbe i give gyaan all the time...preaching mode of operation...this time around when i met my friends in pune, I was told that I should open a consultancy where i pay people to hear me talk...jesus...i can't be talking all that much....
Today was my last Mock CAT with career launcher..now I just want CAT to get over..plus this whole application process..It's been fun in it's own way....made a couple of new friends and got closer to an old one.....so not bad......
I have no idea what else to talk about....just wanna go and sleep right now for an hour....
But atleast I wrote something....

I had to write more...

I have been down with juandice and all this time moping around in bed has made me do a lot of thinking..and man!! as usual i come up with some good fundas..i dunno if they apply to the world, but me yeah..they sure do...
the last week's been tough coz it hadn't actually sunk in that I was down with jaundice and I thought that it's gonna be like some viral fever, which as soon as it is gone I can be up and moving..but dammit, when i tried to be up and moving I fell again..so this thing is gonna persist for a bit longer..
ok..now coming back to what i was saying..my realisations:
1) home rocks!! specially when one falls ill!!
2) men suck!! though not all..but yeah most of them..
3) falling ill is a good time to figure out who are the people who really care for you.
4) the world is not gonna stop running, just coz i ain't not participating right now.
5) there is no right or wrong decision..decisions seem right at the right time.
6) life may not work out the way I envision it, but it does work out.
7) negative emotions are just passing and not reality. don't act on them!!
8) 'woh lamhe' from 'zehar' still rocks, even though aashique banaaya is hot!
9) never try to get in touch with old flames..the flame is out..accept it!!( a friend whose ex is getting married made me realise this one) men move on faster than woman..

Thats all...I know people who read this are gonna that bile has gone to my brains..mebbe it has..who cares!!!the greatest philosophers were all luny...

Watta book!!

I's been long since I read something so good. The one which I read before this was the latest harry potter...and what can one say about that..harry potter is harry potter...i carried it with me wherever i went ..to the loo, to my class, in front of the television..but 'The Kite Runner' is different..It kind of immobilizes you..so you don't need to carry it around.
I have read books talking about the muslim culture before , 'the princess' , 'not without my daughter' and many more. But this book touched me in more than one way. The way Khalid Hoessinni has described each and every situation made me feel like I was there..I could smell the meat being cooked and hear the wind through the kites. I could feel Amir's pain and love. I could understand what Hassan was all about, why he still cared for Amir, despite Amir's betrayal.
How living in this world and society, one has to be what the world wants us to be. But at the same time, the past will continue to haunt us till we don't reconcile it.And lastly, one has to pay the price of what one didn't do or do..Always!!!

whatever!!

so much of confusion..so many things to do...and this stupid phone doesn't stop ringing..everyone wants to talk abt the CAT...i think it's damn overrated...one stupid 2 hr exam..and it decides the fate of some 1 lkh and 50 thousand students...
oscar wilde said" the only thing one should do with other people's advice is pass it on to others"
i like tht!!..
geetika is finally in boston..and i am sure she has never read my blog...but i still need to mention her..she is my best friend..mad woman...
and i had another best friend..or thats what i thought he was...i think i assumed too much..people just have there own lives..and out of site, out of mind..works for them...
i like some of the new friends i have made..it takes time to know people..i thought i would never move on from college..but i think i have..finally...
TaTa
ciao

I'm Back....

I have no diea after how long i am writing..but yeah must be a long long time...coz life has changed completely ...quit my job and sitting at home..well not exactly..trying to sit at home...quitting that job was the biggest relief...cudn't believe that i endured it for 8 long months..but the worst part has been answering the world...man,,,trust me u have no idea what a bitch the world can be...but who the hell cares...coz I am happy...happier than what i was ever in that job...there is just so much to do and so much to look forward to...and i had the best vacations ever the last 2 months..with like different groups of people, doing different things and totally discovering oneself..thats what travelling does to me..i just get to know myself better once i am on the road..pune did ths to me..it made me a nomad..even now everyday i feel like taking off for someplace..even if its for a few days..
the most beautiful place which i went to was McLeodganj, in Dharamsala, in Himachal Pradesh...the place where Dalai lama is in excile...that place is pure magic...u have to go there to believe how it makes u feel...its not a typical hill station..and proof enough is the fact that it is full of foreigners..pe0ple from all over the world who came there for a holiday and just cudn't leave...I went there thrice this season...and the last time even managed to go for a trek up the himalayas...
Now that I am back in Delhi and studying for this stupid CAT exam and also trying to figure out my next job...i just wanna run back up there...but then i did miss delhi and city life and all the partying here...so i am not complaining...
the biggest thing which i am trying to figure out nowdays is " whats gonna happen in my life next??" and you know what the answer is " u don't have to know kiddo!!!"

"Being Twenty-Something"


They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with
the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that
you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder
where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely
know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends
that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you
have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most
important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that
too, and they aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as
confused as you.
You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you
would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you
are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find
yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have
certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your
list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and
then the next, secure.
You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your
life. You feel alone and scared and confused.
Suddenly, change is the enemy
and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that
the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do
but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such
damage to you.
Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent
enough that you want to get to know better.
Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.
One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with
your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a
decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for
yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just
like to be a contender!
“What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it”
We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can
to figure this whole thing out.
Think abt it…maybe it will help u out to come out of confusion and
feel like you aren't alone in this state of confusion.....
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US!!!!!

Happy New Year!!! 2004- Part 1

what a beautiful year 2004 was..one of my best..thats a heavy statement for sure..but seriously now that I think of it ,,the year was good and changed me tremendously as a person.Also a big transition from campus life to the corporate world..
Jan 2004- landed up in college 20 days after the semester had started and got the biggest firing from my head of department..but just couldn't bear to miss ridhima's wedding in Delhi..and to top it all as soon as i landed in Pune, everyone was leaving for IIT-Powai for the technical festival..i just had to go..had a grt time there..
Feb 2004- MIT annual day preparations began and as usual I wanted to be in a lot of events..so I was running between dance practice for our B.E show and the fashion show..trying to catch up on my attendance during the day and practising the whole night..man i was really pooped out at the end of it..but the amount of fun I had was really worth all the effort..Also went on a trip down to the konkan coast with whole big bunch of friends..ate so much of fish, swam in the sea and generally did lots of masti..
March 2004- this month was kind of tough..had to finish my final year project and then this project exhibition was coming up for which we had to display it..was really pressurised and my project partners added to it..but still by this time I had started going out every other night as I knew tht the my time in Pune was coming to an end..So it was like" work work work and then party party party"..and trust me this kind of lifestyle is damn addictive..

Ok more in the next part...too much to recollect in one go..
