Do Not Copy.

I want to be….

When I was young, I used to write poems in my diary. I guess I still have the diary @ my father's place. The diary is incomplete, one poem to go most definitely, named "Aunty". Couldn't complete it  before  she passed away. I was a kid back then. I wish I had fulfilled her wish on time. I wish I was more mature then, if I had I would have guided myself to become what I wanted to be.*maybe* Back then I wanted to be a scriptwriter, can you imagine that, kids my age @ that place didn't know what exactly was a scriptwriter. Nobody knows this, until now of course, I used to scribble small notes to myself and I used to keep them in toothpaste boxes and hide them behind my pile of books inside my book shelf. They contained secret notes. I wonder where did I get those crazy ideas from. After a while I was very unwell, I looked really skinny, lost a lot of weight, then I thought of being a model. *laughs* I still wanna win the Miss India crown, still haven't given up, not until 2 years from now, after that I won't qualify anymore. *sulk* Then came a phase in my life, when I was happy n satisfied, I didn't think what I wanted to do, actually I didn't think anything. This phase in my life continued for long and was surrounded by friends was fun filled.*smile* Now I wanted to be a lawyer, screwed my chances of becoming one, ended up in an engineering college. I also wanted to be like Barkha Dutt-the famous journalist and also wanted to be a psychologist at some point in my life. The 1st one because I watched news a lot and loved the idea of being able to deliver news to somebody and the 2nd choice because I wanted to understand em-es better. Before I could figure out what I actually wanted, I was already graduating. Finally, I'm going to be an engineer. (Don't know what expression should I be having right now!) . My experience in college, tought not miserable, wasn't fantastic either.

Atta girl(AG) (What does attagirl mean?) started writing because she wanted the document her happy and colourful world forever. But now AG finds out colours of life keep changing everytime and they are not always bright. There are many things which, AG carries in her heart right now. And AG has always had many people she could talk to but now she share's things with the virtual world she created. AG thought she hated em-es for what has been going on. But she guesses her love for em-es is not over yet. It hurt AG when she figured how some people are not worthy of visiting her or of the treatment they've got on their visits. AG has always overrated people in her life.* Durge has feelings for Sr. Like always AG got to know that from a third person. And AG totally feels that Durge should leave AG's friends and family alone, coz she keeps bumping into either of them time to time. The partial purpose of AG getting out of Durge's life was leaving her and her love life to prosper coz she always came in between. Now that AG is out of her life, Durge should get together with him. AG misses being called "aunty". She misses all the guys there, each one of 'em. She feels they were so much better. They always did a "namaste aunty" when they came over. She misses that. And chubby is getting worse day by day, totally jealous types. Can't image jealously out of happiness of a friend when you are not a part of that celebration..!! Mongolian goose is mad, has a bad temper, doesn't totally know what love is and love is definitely madness for MG. AG hope MG's madness affects others life positively. Good things happening in cherry's life--totally on track and completely smooth right now. AG is happy for cherry. 

*PS: phoo & amu, BO loves you.

Life without a mobile phone..!!

BO's pink Nokia 2626 has still not recovered from the shock it got from the head bang after it dropped. So BO has gone mobile-less. Those who follow her here, there's a message for them: Don't waste your sms packs on her coz she won't be able to view your messages and contact her on her land number or through the internet. She has decided to go mobile-less for a while now. SM broke BO's favorite photo frame which was a gift by her BFF. In the fond memory of both of the above things BO uploads their pics which are going to be here forever. Life without a mobile phone is a hard decision that BO has taken, she doesn't know how far would she be successful, but she is ready to give it a try. She needs to justify her choice to herself. She agrees a mobile is worth many things. She lists them and checks out what is something she would miss while not having a mobile phone. Here's goes the list:
1. She receives calls  (land phone recues her here)
2. She makes calls     (         ditto          )
3. When she is out and somebody wants to reach her or she wants to reach someone ( friends phone number for really important people for really urgent calls could be an option or work phone can also help but it wouldn't be always very comfortable)
4. Sending and receiving messages (BO believes mobile phone is a very personal device and why are social networking sites for..!! Messages from all friends can be sent and received there)
5. Alarm (could use any other device)
6. Notes and record (could be maintained in her diary or laptop)
7. Entertainment (an ipod takes care of that)
Basically this is it! All the above things can be taken care of but, the thoughts are only needed to be put into action. What if I actually REALLY-REALLY miss it??? That's natural, but lets hope for the best. Fingers crossed..!!

BO targets to upload 5 new same as usual, boring posts to her blog. Effort begins. Well BO is now miserably performing on her friends' count. Decrementing one after another with no vital mistake on her part.*Thinking* Other than that BO is remaining low-key, reason she hasn't figured out as yet. BO's temper level remains high these days. Her non-functional mobile display is the consequence of her previous statement. BO loved herself a lot but these days she's failing to do so. She cries frequently, remains at her den mostly, avoids calls and makes unsuccessful plans..!! *big sigh* There's no fairy or prince to rescue her. Unfair she thinks..!!* :( * Her latest observations have been giving her a bad time. She does not want to loose another friend or get into a fight. Playing it safe is the only option she guesses. ρ(sai) can't be bothered due to exams. Sat is maniacally watching OTH. *BO does ditto*  BO is ashamed though. BO hopes her decision is correct and low-key is the best option though she is not used to it. And updates on her 4wheeler skills, she's totally ruling it..!! *weak smile* BO hates to lie to herself. She has been ignoring her mind since exam. It's tiring, she can't do it anymore. Neither can she do anything to silent the voices in her mind. *SUGGEST THINGS 2 DO (to keep her occupied)* She is not anymore the same girl, does not speak her mind. Being politically correct is killing her like any slow poison. And dark circles and pimples absolutely free with it. She surprises herself with her extreme behavior these days. Not watching FIFA'10, reason OTH. But that has paused too. Can't figure out, how to be happy again. Wants to participate in public-speaking and stuff because she loves to win the audience or wants to fight a court case and win it coz she would love to that too. Guessing these are the two things she has figured which can make her happy. A lot of good gossip could also ease the pain or maybe a nice caring & loving boyfriend would help *BO in fantasy land* proof of her being a true Sagittarian. Kiddo is tormented. She can't choose one, but, finally she has narrowed down to +2 Sc. Those days of decision making were difficult. I blame few things on myself too. Like showing her the other side and judging her wrong, which helped confuse her more. BO needs a change of place. And I really wish CHUBBY gets committed to CHERRY. It'll really help my situation. People confuse romances in friendship to be love in the west. But here people in love confuse it to be friendship because of the societal pressure. *frown* BO should really ask her parents about some short tour or vacation or maybe she should concentrate on more important tasks of life. *Confused* Anyhow BO has to save herself from all of this and she is sure she will..!! *Promises herself*. BO listened to Owl City and loved it. Her favorite is "Hello Seattle". The song that best suites BO state right now is Every Part of Me -By Miley Cyrus. Catch it @ "ilisten2"..!!

Used & Useless

Seniors were bid farewell by a small farewell party. Now, sach ka samna, we are getting old..!! The terror  the last semester bought with it is finally over *. There is a long gap until the next agonizing one begins. Figured out the rest was to be given to dear BRAIN immediately in the form of sleep. Spending the rest of the vacation would be just figured inside the sleepy head i.e. in my dreams. Days rolled by, Mr. Brain got the lost energy and enthusiasm back. FB and internet kept me occupied sometimes. Driving lesson helped me wake up early. *SHOUTS & CHEERS* Daily health issues helped me pass time plus unsuccessful plans made over phone with friends used some of my time. Watching ONE TREE HILL like a maniac consumed a lot of my precious time**. Now I feel completely useless because I waste so much time..!! Complaining when used too much and whining when useless, always have been an extremist. Learning the art of an average life will come with time. Thinking that posting into you would keep me thoughtful and occupied. Love ya…,

*P.S- It still gives me nightmares.

**   - I love both nathan & haley but I love nathan more, always and forever.

Wake up Sid aka Prusty...!!

Well I promised him long ago that I would write an article on him, but didn't find time for it. But now I fulfill this promise of mine plus this is his birthday gift also.*HEE-HEE* Let me first justify the header "Wake up Prusty", it's because I feel he's blessed with a great persona and he could use it do so many more things which are undone. He's a very straightforward guy. And he's this person who is a thoroughly entertaining companion. Time just flies for everybody when he's around. He has this very special quality of making everyone around him feel very comfortable. The best part about him according to me would be his hairstyle. Personally I just love that style and you bet, all heads would turn to see that and I thinks it suits him perfectly, it adds a lot to his personality. I know he would say, "It's difficult to maintain." I do agree with him, but I'm sure he can keep up. If after reading all this anyone of you is thinking of hitting on him, then, caution girls: "He's certainly not single and has very pretty girlfriend." I wish I could put up a picture of him for all you people to take a look but sadly I don't have one. Of course the suspense of the entire article is the best part..!!

Keep wondering ;-)


 

Not too many options...

Image Courtesy:http://susanhenschen.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/dreams.jpg

There are so many things you want to do. Maybe all your plans are too good, but, situations are such that, you can only work upon a few. I can't give any of them up; my plans are close to my heart. They are my dreams. I've believed in them with my eyes closed then how can I not believe to make them a reality with my eyes wide open. Yes some of you would think dreams are fantasy and reality is something totally different. Dreams are a part of you, they are real, and it's upon you how much faith you have in yourself. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been in America, I would have fulfilled all my dreams without hassle. There are so many things I want to do, there are so many thing I want to learn. I wish to be able to work with CEE in the weekends, do a part time job in all my summer and winter breaks, do a CMTC and be a part of any kinder garden in the morning hours (because my college starts at eleven), open up a food joint at my parents' place, read out books to blind children, own a piece of land, win a beauty pageant and also study side by side. I want to work in all the free hours I get…!! In our university we only prepare one month prior to our examination. I want to use all the other times to do what I wish to do. All the above mentioned things are not going to hurt anybody (except for my parents because they would think I've gone mad!). I thought I would make a very good lawyer but didn't have the guts to stand for it when the time was right. That time has passed, I'm overage for a course in law, I wish I was a bit more mature, decisive and committed at that time. I don't have too many options now, the only way that I can fulfill all the above things is by doing an MBA. I sometimes question myself, do I have the commitment to do it, why am I not happy doing what I doing right now, even though my results are good, I feel as if I'm slogging desperately to get out of this system. I don't have the patience to wait until two years complete this MBA thingy. Do I have any option but to work towards it?? And what if I fail, what if I don't prepare all that well and I fail, what if I'm not committed. Lord, who can provide me with the answers to all those questions. *BIG SIGH*

Listen Up, "POM…POM-POM-POM..."

Image courtesy: http://rlv.zcache.com/raising_pom_poms_sticker-p217749982552555631qjcl_400.jpg

He hates me. He said that in the very beginning. Everybody has heard it. When I asked him to tell me the reason the reason was "You like some, you hate some". And I was one of the lucky few he hated. I didn't have any issues with him. I didn't know him..!! He has insulted me quite a few times by now. Not that I'm not at fault, YES, I've been late before -3times. *SIGH*

Once he let others go and not me. Now this has become personal..!! It amused me when he said it was he who decided "What's Justice and what's injustice..!!". Powerful people often think themselves to be great. He hated me, but now, he made sure I hated him too..!! VOILA! THE DEADLY COMBO. I was all for love, but he wanted war! Couldn't he find more worthy reasons to fight for, and, a more powerful opponent??? Somewhere down the line I think he loves, loves me so much that I'm his favorite target..!!

Yoga plus the Gaga in my life..!!

YOGA PART:

It was my parents' anniversaries that day, guruji called me to come with her to the center. Thus, started my association with the "Art of Living". I guess that was a good anniversary gift for my parents. It was a six day course. The Sudarshankriya was an awesome experience. You'd definitely feel much more energetic..!! And new friends and a big "Art of Living" family is the bonus..!! 

Bapu and Yaya

Both Leos, both great. She can't walk anymore. He has diabetes now. She takes anti-depressants each day and he insulin. The wrinkles on their faces are the proof of the innumerable experiences they have had so far. She has always been the lioness and he the lion, teaching their cubs the survival technique. The smile on their faces when they see us is so comforting that it acts a painkiller for me. They've always been more understanding and open to change than our parents. When I'm unwell she'd sit by my bedside and keep comforting me past midnight. And he'd check on my temperature hour by hour. They still have the patience to take of somebody, when they themselves need care more than anybody else. He can read and write; hence he learns everyday and comforts himself. She can't read, that stops her from learning, she can't comfort herself and is not ready to listen to anybody else. She is sadder and more hurt than him. I derive courage and the thought of being on my own from her. Their love for each other is unending. He bought a car because she wanted it, things can't get more romantic than this..!! I don't know how many men from his generation would have done that. I wish to get a husband like him and wish if I could be half the woman that she is now..!! Nana and nani, I love you.

Owning Up to Friendship

Image Courtesy: www.hreoc.gov.au/.../Sullivan/friendship.jpg

A girl and a boy being "friends" is still seen with raised eyebrows in some places.

"A He n a She" comfortable in each others company, fear talking or acknowledging each other at public places. It's because there are people who tease and spread unnecessary things which affects the relation of "the Girl n the Boy". *sigh*


There are few brave hearts who own up to their friendships against all grapevines.

I wish there were more people like that. I wish friends were brave enough to acknowledge each other even in public..!!

I wish people own up to their friendships n give their friends the due respect that they deserve.

Matters of "Small Things"

Small things have kept me so happy recently; this has taught me how much small-small things matter in life. These were the small things which I failed to notice in the past. I wish I'd noticed them before, then, by now I could have had dozens of memories. Nevertheless, as they say, "Better late than never".  

• FREEDOM giving me the yoga DVD, to help me do yoga everyday was such a sweet and caring gesture on his part. I was really nice. I'm so thankful to him for caring about me. This is what friendship is all about. *SMILE*
  
• Pouring our hearts out to each other (my kid sister n me) while my parents are out of station and ruling our house is what sisterhood is all about. We rock. I love my sister. *WINK*
  
• The before lunch scooty ride with Paro n the helmet incident. It made her embarrassed, made Rachu D'ling LOL and I made a complete fool of myself. *SULK*
  
• GPRS supporting me at end moment in writing the script and making the skit a reality makes me feel humbled. And his advice "Believe in yourself" worked wonders with me. *[V]*
  
• ANIMATION believing in me and supporting me through out gave me the courage to fight it all. I'm indebted to him. I wish to help, whenever there's a need. *SMILE*
  
• WALKER promising me to make me taste his signature Biryani was such a sweet n nice gesture. I wish I would learn to cook as soon as possible and make his taste my signature dish. *DREAMY*
  
• 
  
  AMU admiring the translucent kurti that I gifted her was really comforting and sweet.
  
  "AMU you expect a better one this time, I won't disappoint." I love you. *HUG*
  
• The thank you note that I got from YAM n LOCK in college was sweet. The text touched my heart plus I also loved the golden wrapper on which the note was written. "Thank you for the candy guys, I really wanted to have a candy." *CHEERS*
• It was also very gratifying when CR asked me about my blog and said, I quote, " I'm not very net savvy but I'll check out your blog."  *SMILE*

Not Achieved Much… :)

Pledged to play "do chutkiyon wali holi" this tym…

Had fun doing anchoring and participating in competitions, it was satisfying and kept me busy..

Hope I seriously start a routine exercise from
tomorrow…this word is so damn imp in my life but it never comes until it's too late…

Why to ppl in relationship flash that they are single and then you find out that they aren't, it's real irritating you feel like throwing things at them…

With the current situation of the world, the Chile quake n the tsunami n all… I'm considering to start BACHAO again under a new name… suggestions are most welcome….

Somebody asked me to believe in myself I did it for a day or two but I'm again back to my original self…

I don't understand how can I come to believe in myself forever…HELP IF YOU CAN..!!

Realized a few ppl are my friends forever… the girl gang… the 2 AM's in my life, parul n rachu darling, soup… I hope they remain in my life forever… I also need sush n zoya plus a few others…

Haven't talked to sush for long…

Gosh!! Are all the good tailors dead?? Can't find some1 who wud make the best fit in 1st attempt...

And how I wish I was the same Alisha as b4, the talkative n extrovert kind... I'm comfortable with my old friends but with new ppl I'm such an introvert or unsocial you may call.... the fear of nonacceptance.... I want to be myself n I will be... I guess some ppl in life are so dominating that you forget yourself so you should stay away from them..!!(As much as you can, even if whatever...)

Not having achieved much is what keeps me striving hard towards getting what I want.. :)

Gay Rights

The best thing that has happened in 2009 is legalizing of gay rights. Atleast now gays in India can live like their real selves in broad daylight without any stigma attached to them. This shows the broadening of minds of people in India. It also marks the beginning of a liberal and more tolerant India, India which can welcome change with open arms. And people against this legislation, saying they are protecting the culture had tied India in the shackles of backwardness since long. Now it’s high time that they realize that the culture of India is imbibed in the heart of every Indian. We are the ones who make our culture and follow it, and we’ll never let go of it. Tolerating every odd is also a part of India’s culture. And they are still not satisfied we shouldn’t care much. And being a libertarian, I’m very happy. Some day I hope to hear of men getting raped, as I’m tired hearing about women getting raped all the time and we not are being able to decrease the count.

P.S: Not very male friendly.

New shopping trend in Bhubaneswar

We are so busy shopping that we don't have time think what's new, what's better. Now it's all glamour and glitz. Questions that frequent the mint of an intelligent shopper would be like "where to shop? How much to shop? when to shop?, And how much to spend?".

Answers to all the questions are becoming tougher day by day. There are so many shops these days. Every shop has a lot of attractive items. Every shop has some or the other offer going on. The choices are plenty. Prices of the goods have risen considerably, thanks to the inflation. The prices makes you think to make the best buy. Then again, the question arises -the better lasting one or the better looking one. The new open display system is also working wonders in casting its cruel spell by hypnotizing people. The items on display bring out the devil in human and we commit the sin by becoming greedy. We end up buying more than the actual list and end up spending much more than our budget. You also beat the high and rising amount of commuters to reach a destination.

Shopping is getting more challenging and tiresome day by day. Though Bhubaneswar will still take some time to become Mumbai, but it's still giving it's shoppers a tough time. Happy shopping to all the readers.
