If one day could change you

Then it would definitely be this day!
Perhaps we have all discovered by now what the greatest weakness facing man is. If you haven't then you perhaps haven't been thinking much about it. Which again is good in a way 'cause that's what the greatest ill is: Thinking too much .
And thats what i'm going to stop doing from now on. See one small step and i've completely changed my life.

Or so I think.

busy doing nothing

I think I've coined this phrase. Well anyone who has come across it before, drop in comment lest I put the trademark sign besides it( the unassuming junta might consider this as a sly attempt to invite comments)

But this is precisely what I've been busy doing all week. Busy doing nothing. A whole lot of ideas barge into my head and then there are hours of discussion and meticulous planning( which calls for further planning ahead). But at the end of the day when my mom asks me what i've been upto i get this sheepish smile on my face, until all that remains of me is that smile, and i reply : well nothing much.....

I've also got this nasty tooth-ache. i attribute it to lack of reading (ya whatever! ). i haven't read a book in ages( read: 20 days). and there is this really smashing James Joyce book on my desk calling out to be read.....almost pleading. I think I'll give in to the temptation......

cheers

Ideas formed and you see them slip away. Clumsy thoughts you are not committed to. Hours of brainstorming = storm in a cup. We'll study this time around. Oops ! Where my books? Senior to junior, " Yaar class lagale. fayda hota hai". Same senior to his senior, " Pichle ek hafte se insti ka chehra nahin dekha......kuch badla kya".

You know whats different this time around.

None of this is going to happen.

Simple.

a reason to smile

If a person can commit one act of utter foolishness, he always has the potential to achieve great levels of stupidity.Romance is perfected by falling in love over and over again, the object of affection being of no consequence at all. Similarly, dim-wittedness has to be perfected by performing acts of foolishness over and over again.

I wudn't say this was my first attempt at foolishness. I don't say it is my last.

I once told my friend that if you try to find the rhyme scheme of this poem you'll end up using all twenty six alphabets of the english language( dear friend, you alive ??).This was long back in grade 10th I guess. But such small truths never change.

Go ahead ruin your day.

A REASON TO SMILE

Life seemed to give reasons to lament
Revolving around one painful moment
Of hatred-torn hearts , blood and strife
Sorrow , they say, is the quintessence of life
Then tell me in this sorrowful mile
Is there a reason to smile?

The world is merry with its beautiful seasons
of all the seasons for me there is but one
and it is the dreadful season of sorrow
lying in wait for the bitter 'morrow
my life's shrivelled to a palmsbreadth
and where i walk there are all thorns

but even in your worst nightmare
when your world is all barren and bare
when outside around its blue and gold
and laughter everywhere takes its hold
but in your mind its deep dark night
and in the heart its always twilight

If not for yourself
then just for others
keep that eternal sunshine on your face
and remember that someone, somewhere is happy
'cause you keep smiling.

And Arpit' s gone crazy

There couldn't have been greater elation on a kids face when he sees a mickey-mouse pic. But arpit sitting right next to me is elated 'cause he's finally made his mark in the complex world of electronic circuits.

His accomplishment?

Getting a 5v regulated supply from a LM7805 voltage regulator.
Not a noble prize winning accomplishment, but try explaining that to this kid.

From mickey-mouse to dear micromouse, we've got a long way to go........but its a heartening start nevertheless.

??

why is Preity Zinta so beautiful?

Oops i had to ask this! This question has been troubling me for quite sometime. And i dread this question because i have absolutely no answer to it.

and for those of you who disagree with me, i have one simple advice for ya all:

go to hell

Thoughtless Thoughts

Sometimes knowing more about a person can bring a whole new perspective to your mind. It might not change the way you look at the person, might not change the way you feel about him.
More often than not it starts questioning your viewpoint.

True my viewpoint is always biased. Its not that i don't see others point of view, but sometimes once own view takes up too much of the foreground.

Why am i writing all this. Nn offhand comment can never be too strong to incite such thoughts. It must have been in my mind for sometime now.

Arghh this cold is killing me. I'll think about it later.

i hate falling sick. its absolutely ridiculous how the best of your plans can be thwarted by an illness.

i hope i get well soon.
sometimes you just have to wish yourself when noone around you is doing so.

ya self-sympathy

blah blah blah

08/08/08

If I only knew that the most auspicious Chinese day had a funny side to it I would have been better prepared. And when life has got something funny for you up her sleeve( ? her, why not him?) it has the most amazing ways of getting things done.

Like me atending two Repri classes a day.

Two? And upon that Repri?
Hell you must be kidding.
Hell i'm not.

Now for a kid who finds it difficult to attend two classes an entire day, attending two of Repri in a day, is like getting India a gold in the Olympics. But miracles do happen and so here I am on the insistence of my friend attending his section class as well, feeling as dumb as I possibly can.

But the fun does not stop there . Enter tutor of section 5 and i wonder why on earth does he bear an uncanny resemblance to tutor section no. 3.

Which unfortunately is my section.
And its unfortunately the same tutor.
And i've (very) unfortunately attended his class only two hours back.

The fact that he kept looking queerly at me throughout the hour and the fact that I kept answering his questions before they were asked( yeah they repeat the same thing in all their classes) made it infact an embarrassing day.

Anyone to beat that and i'll swap my Repri section with him.

Kidding ofcourse.
