"The Green-eyed Monster"

2010-04-05T04:35:00.000-07:00

After so many days, found a topic for blogging. Actually, I think of it constantly, subconsciously, every day. I think of "The Green-Eyed Monster" who was torturing me throughout today.
No, its not him. he's so cute. Its jealousy
.
I felt it, when someones got a pretty dress or good hair or a great pair of shoes or long nails, I can only wish I had that too. I know many of my friends feel the same. Some, I'm sure, will even take pains to look better and shop smarter next time. It works out well for everyone in the end.
And here's the dark side : when you can't handle it and start doing funny things or deny being jealous at all, be careful, you're about to turn into a not-so cute monster...

Got this real nice quote :

Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies. ~Elizabeth Bowen

I just couldn't help but wonder from where do all these gorgeous people come. And then I caught a reflection of me in my b.f's eyes and felt like the most beautiful person, next to her.

Love remains the same ...

Have good reason to be
The magic in the air...
Or so they say,
coz its Valentine's Day!
And I'm dying for it

Like every year (and every Day, Father's, Mothers, Brother, etc.etc) this year too there's the same age-old dilemma of V-day being commercialized, people taking no special efforts to show love, and the Q : Why just 1 day? !
Not that I have any answers or even suggestions to any of these, but I wonder the need to get ito the whys and hows and spoil the fun of the day. I'm just gonna enjoy it with all the feel-special, do-good stuff the day comes with.

This 14th, bless the ancient Egpytians, is a Sunday. Which means no schools or colleges will be open and most people wouldn't risk going out on the streets and facing the self-proclaimed caretakers of the morality of Bombay. So, I'l be at home (How boring, but am happy).

Todays Chocolate Day in K.C. Can hardly wait to give and receive chocs with friends (all those I have, atleast)

Love the trailers! And ma fav singer's also featuring!
The movie I've been waiting for, another cliché, aah!

Thats the song for now

As for ma Valentine, planned a surprise (wont b giftin until 15th, huh) hoping to surprise him... Sure he'll remember it for the rest of his life, or something like that.

Love always,

Walkin alone

2009-10-19T10:29:00.000-07:00

Caution: Overtly emotional, senti-mental n gloomy post ahead...Read only if u u're 2 happy or sad. N if u dont like it, dont comment...

Sometimes the best memories are the ones you have to lose.

courtesy:Getty images

Of all the moments in my life, you were always there somewhere. Once as a wish. Once as a blessing. And now as the greatest loss I'll ever experience.

Sumtimes evn though u hv best frnds givin u al d love dey can...
standin by ur side since ur jouney began,
wantin 2 walk wid u till u reach ur aim...
huggin u n tellin u "2mrw thngs wil b d same",
u tel dem 2 go...
"dis is ma lone walk, u knw?"

D song I Walk Alone by Greenday (fav band, next 2 LP)

walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

Love, always

P.S: gonna b doin a lot of walkin bt hardly talkin... wat an idea...(lame attempt @ humor)

Black Or White???

2009-09-04T06:28:00.000-07:00

Just a random pic invitin random thoughts...
Black Or white?
Will I ever get it right?
Am I good or bad?
Happy or sad?
Is der no way,
For me 2 try not to sway?
One way or d other
Being stable, I cant bother
With this I depature
and also end d torture (read:poem)

Rained cats n dogs ystrday... Even now d skies r balck n white (not gray) Had 2 go 2 col wen all I wanted 2 do was enjoy d weather... Its September. D ninth month. Of dis year, hehe.

P.S: rains n d ganpati visharjan have shaken me up... N all d craziness is one of d many reflections waitin 2 happen...

Malhar - The Movie

2009-08-29T10:14:00.000-07:00

Went 2 the St. Xaviers' College fest, "Malhar - The Movie". Spent two hours gettin drenched by the rain dat couldnt make it mind whether to rain or not and being pushed around by all the victims of d Malhar-mania who try, desperatly to get in d never-endin queue... The rain and our frustation even conspired to ruin our oh-so-precious purple Malhar Passes. Am given the Raga (link of the online one: http://www.theonlineraga.co.cc/ ). The paper n events mentioned are so good I'm left jumpin with excitement.

When finally we (d 9 gals n 2 guys) were allowed inside (not before being checked thoroughly for deodrants, sharp objects n even pencil sharpners!!!), we get lost and there're no people in sight to help us out, of course, the foyer was over-over-crowded with enthusiasts cheerin on for d folk dances, but no volunteers. Where they were, come back to it later. The last performance, I think it was Maharashtra, was especially good with a Ganpati and fast leziem beats. It got all of us, even me with ma sore throat, yellin "Ganpati Bappa Morya!" The judges were takin a lot of time to announce the winner so we moved on to one of the many food stalls. Actually, most of the stalls were for foodies. After munchin on Hippo Chips we search for the much-talked-about workshops and what do we see? Tada! *Drum beats* A large group, no, herd of Xavierite volunteers dancin to the tunes of...u'll never guess it, The Birdie Song!!!

I mean like, we tortured our mind, body n teachers (we bunked col 2 attend d fest) just so we can see adult-lookin ppl dancin like kids!!! Yea, right, v are FOOLS!!!

Couldnt find ne workshop (I sincerely wanted 2 attend d one on bloggin n foot-paintn) n no signs were put up to guide us, either. No, wait, there were sings all over the grounds that read "EXIT". So much for eagerness (whos or wat, dont ask). Finally, we leave the place only to be further delayed as the volunteers cant seem to match the tags to the thngs (remember, they took our does and all away?).

The scene on the road goes like this : am left alone with Amay n Vistasp. All three dog-tired n entirely pissed-off. The delay sets the temper flyin and all dams break. Words like mother-****ers, ******ds, losers n, ahem, many more are thrown everywhere, mainly aimed at d Xavier ppl. Ma frnds cum, even they join (words more aptly censored). We all agree to burn 2mrw's passes n swear to God, our "Kiran" fest will be trillion times better.

I come back home only to be told dat Malhar is THE best college fest. Given ma opinion n beliefs, I conclude college fests must be really terrible (so much for being a fresher). I argue (aah, the great art of debatin over trivial issues) and re-think. Visit the website (link:http://www.malharfest.org/) and wonder if it could have been the other way. If I could have left feelin happy n eager to come back again. If I would be writin all this singin praises in glory of Malhar (terrible line, no?)... If only...

Huh... but , watever, am not goin back again till next year. Or the next thing I know they'll throw me out for obscenities, its a good thing to let the flame cool down for one year, u c?

Bottomline: Their organisation sucks! Literally! If the OC (suppose its organizin committee is so interested in Birdie Dances, y dont they do it b4 Malhar? Hope 2mrw they take their responsibilites more seriously or all the attitude n ego (attached wid Malhar) is gonna go waste!!! M sure d next time I c a Xavierite showin off, I'l be secretly laughin ma head off!!
N yes, We, the K.C ppl will show u. We will rock u!!! n so will Kiran!

P.S: Sorry, no pics. It was rainin earlier n inside v were'nt allowed 2 cam-whore...

Post Independence Post

2009-08-16T05:27:00.000-07:00

Happy Independece Day, all Indians! Really happy to be an Indian. So happy cant explain. Watch this video, mayb some of the happiness will transfer...

Great song, no? Rahman's music's enough to make an Indian feel proud n patriotic... And Mumbai's got a spirit of its won! Inspite of the swine flu scare, people turned up to celebrate Janamastami... But yet, am here sittin @ home... *sighs*

Its just been a week at K.C College, and I'm already in love. With college life. Though school life was great, it never gave us tthe freedom I wanted. Now that am granted it, I dont know what to do with it... how typical of me, hehe.

The dreaded "first day" was quite cool. And my new-found friends have already put my doubts, of finding good friends, to rest. And the best part, one of ma close friends, Gotti's in the same class as me. Yippee! Things couldn't have been more perfect, no? NO! they're not perfect. Wat with the Govenment announcing a leave till 20th for all. So scared the people are, ma folks wont even allow me to go for a movie! Not dat I wanna die or something, its just dat I HATE being @ home. As if four long borin months werent enough, got another useless n unnecessary leave...

Plannin 4 some girly-time... Can hardly wait!

P.S: Readin "The Bridges of Mason County". preety good book, I want to become a potographer (learn it professionaly) n "make" photos.

Love always,

Foram

Nt just frnds, bt best friends... Dey make ur life so worth d while...

Bernard Meltzer best said it wen he quoted:

"A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though she knows that you are slightly cracked... "

which I'm, completely (shattered, u may say)

Wid all d terrible thngs goin on like all d ppl nt on foot conspirin 2 kill me, ma hobby class teacher takin on me 4 makin not-as-good-as-mine-bt-nice flowers, ma mom angry wid me 4 nt helpin her (she wants me 2 cook, d kitchen is 2 me wat a boardroom is 2 Shakespeare, u c) , Simba havin stomach probs, dad buggin me every now-n-den 2 write sum legal letter (I dont want ne practise, even though I may b'cum a lawyer) , ma strums nt turnin out as good as I wld like n a hundred more horrible thngs... wat am I 2 do bt wish ma frnds were here wid me n nt in sum other states attendin weddings...

Wats it wid ppl gettin married in summer n ruining every1 else's vacation time by makin frnds n family sog under d scorchin sun?

Newhich ways, I wish Bhavi n Kriti wld cum back soon (b4 I die frm d sudden convulsions dat m havin ever-so-frequently...)

P.S: d irreversible damage has been done... I wont b able 2 think, hear, dream or talk of love widout being frustated. Period.
