FIRST LOVE

yeah this is the poem i wrote yesterday and i haven't editted it. i was feeling too damn lazy. so please spare my poor tired lazy soul.here goes...

FIRST LOVE
Just another early morning,
I’m getting ready to go walking.
Oh, the monotony of life…
I hope today will be different


I hit the road leading to the farm,
Scenery no longer enchanting me with its charm.
But, I do notice the sun, instead of the usual fog.
Maybe today will be different.

My hopes go higher and higher
As I turn round the corner.
Then I saw “her” at the window.
Today is indeed different!

I stare at her, not caring that I stumble,
She looks at me and I see her mumble
A fuzzy warmth fills my heart
Seeing the smile of that work of art.

Was it the sparkle in her eye?
Or was it her dazzling smile?
She made me feel cherished.
I knew today would be different.

Next day onwards,
I actually looked forward to go walking
Embracing this monotony without grumbling.
I looked forward to see her radiate joy
When she looked at me like a child unwrapping a new toy.

Happy and innocent, this morning play,
Made bearable the rest of my day.
I even started dreaming of her,
Maybe I was falling in love with her.

As new mornings came ,
The surer I became.
What if she loves me too?
Tomorrow I’ll tell her ,” I love you.”

I woke up feeling different, the next day
Different in a bad sort of way.
Something felt wrong.
I thought, maybe today is different.

I left my home and went to her place,
she was waiting down, agitation apparent in her pace.
Coming closer I saw her tears, her watery smile when she saw me.
I knew. She was leaving me.
Suddenly, through my own tears, I saw that it was again foggy.
She bent and whispered in my ear, “ I’ll always miss you, little doggy.”

Letter

Dear parent,

This letter is strictly for parents who have teen aged children. so you think you have a big rebellious problem on your hands? You think whatever you do, it is not enough for your child? Your child has come under the influence of today's bad world and that he\she has forgotten all that you taught him\her? Here i have listed the reasons for the relationship strain from the point of view of a teenager.( yours truly being one, has made these observations from personal experience and those of her peers)
First of all you have to know that when you were in college it was probably the mid-seventies and this is " tees saal baad" . so while you never went out for movies with your friends, you never bunked lectures, you never had cell phones...et al,so what?, just because you did things in a certain way does not make it imperative for your child to do the same.You have your own views about a certain matter, fine, but please don't snap at your child if he\she chooses to look at it in a differrent way and does it differently.
Your child is not like you. however strong the resemblance, you cannot take away their identity. If you forbid them to do something,( like having a permanent tattoo is taboo, smoking is injurious to health and so on) give enough reasons to convince them beyond doubt because they listen to their friends an awful lot more than they do to you. You have to be reasonable and hear their side out too. you tell them they are supposed to do something something because you tell them to, they'll argue, become rebellious and do it behind your back anyway. Oh, and emotional blackmail is one sure thing to make them lose respect for you.Please don't generalise statements like today's youth is self-centered and inconsiderate, because that is unfair and untrue. Most of the volunteers in various social organisations are youngsters.



Lastly, treat your child with respect. They may not have become what you dreamt for them, but that does not mean they will not make you proud. An army man is just as honourable as a doctor or an engineer or a chartered accountant. Over-expectations put unnecessary pressure on them and comparison with peers will only make your child jealous , distant and bitter and lower their self esteem. If you want to find faults with them, you also have to appreciate them "sincerely" when they do something good. Most importantly, trust your child and tell them so. You can gain their trust by telling them a little about yourself when you were their age, (but not in a preachy way), the problems you faced, the mischief you made.. as you would to your friend and they in turn will tell you what they are feeling and how they are coping ( but you need to accept it that they won't share everything with you). I'll take your leave now. Just think about what i have written before dismissing it as crap. and of course you are welcome to debate your views with me. But always remember, if you want your child to grow up and become independent, you must allow them to do so.

Yours youthfully,(hee hee)
a teenager

Jobs

study hard so that you'll get a good job blah blah blah .......................













Some really amazing facts

these are some of the coolest and not so known amazing facts ( unlike ancient stuff like dolphins sleep with their one eye open. duh. even dolphins have become concious of that fact) I just unearthed from somewhere. have a look at them :

# oil actually damages your hair in the long run because oil molecules settle on the scalp and block the essential nutrients. (hehe wait till my mom reads this).

# the closest relative of garden sparrow is a fresh water tigerfish. ( yeah and I'm related to nostradamus).

# earwax contains vitamin B6 ( ewwww don't ask me to confirm it. you go and give your dietician a plateful of waxy vitamins).

# the real name of Sushmita Sen is " Ujjwala Raisen" ( i wonder why she dropped the
Rai part from her surname???. And hell if she wanted to change her name, why not choose an exotic name like Tantlata ??).

# Geometry was not initially considered a part of mathematics. It was a part of philosophy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Oh damn why did they change their mind! there's no subject called philosophy in my college).

# By 2055 the entire Arctic ocean will freeze forever. ( huh? you mean it aint already frozen?? and besides who was that chipmunk shouting about global warming?? )

# Brenda Calton was the 21st president of the U.S. but on her first day in office, she was murdered by her husband and old Chester A Arthur got the job. ( I wonder if this Brenda Ca(r)lton was as snooty as that wannabe in Nancy Drew series).

# Bastritch does NOT mean bastard + son of a bitch, but it actually means a pregnant ostritch.

# Queen of hearts is still the most popular queen but it is a little known fact that, one company had accidently given moustaches to her and hadn't been aware of the fact till they had already distributed 3,500 decks. ( dumb, dumb. so next time your girl's not cleared her facial hair properly, call her queen of hearts. She won't murder you then).

# those who cannot put their fist entirely in their mouths are suffering ( or will suffer) from an ailment called Degros Doigts syndrome. ( Ha i bet u tried to put your fist in your mouth).

# aeroplanes are coated with a layer of plum juice before the final mica\ aluminium cover is welded. ( plum juice? PLUM JUICE???? what so they can say have a delicious journey!!)

# apparently scooter contribute more to pollution than four- wheelers. ( yeah must be. I guess that farty sound must add to the noise pollution. not to mention, irritation in people).

Hey all thanks a lot for reading these entertaining if somewhat pathetic amazing facts. I'll find out more such "facts" and keep updating. PS : none of the above facts are true. i made them all up. if you want more I'll just prod my weird overactive imagination a bit further and give you whackier ones. :p
PPS : de gros doigts means "some fat fingers" in french

Train Track and Children





A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use, while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.

The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange. It was not possible to stop the train, but you could make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way??? Think of the kind of decision you could make... yes? or no?

Analyze......

Think......

and reflect......

decided your answer?

Yes? you would change the track?



Most of the people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. To save most of the children at the expense of only one child was a rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.

But, did you ever consider the fact that the child choosing to play on the disused track had, in fact, made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Nevertheless, HE has to be sacrificed beacuse of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. Sounds familiar????

This kind of dilema happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are.

The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined.And in case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

To make the proper decision is not to try to change the course of the train beacuse the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that, that track was still in use, and that they should have run away when they heard the train's sirens. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train would come over to that track!!!
Moreover, that track was not in use probably beacause it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake!! And our attept to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, we might just end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids who were wrong in the first place.

While we are aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realise that a hasty decision may not always be the right one.
" Remember that what's right isn't always popular and what's popular isn't always right."



Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils. ( hehehe ok that was a dumb one).

"Vision" India


Some people make some assumptions of their own and fix their views accordingly without budging even an inch to even consider the possibility of finding a grain of truth in what the others are saying to convince them otherwise. ( hey note im talking of only some elders and not our supercool Gen X or Y or Z or whichever alphabet we are in). Superstitions!! i guess when the said prediction comes true twice in a hundred times promotes suspicion to conviction , plus being drilled the same thing for many years and being taught to think the same way gave rise to the current superstitions. I don't have anything against superstitions which are harmless but the day anyone forces me to do something just because " it is done like this" I'm more likely to spit on your face. ( only you'll feel like you have been spat at on the face.I really have faith on my tongue). I need you to tell me the reason why i should do what you are asking me to do or why i shouldn't do what I'm doing.
i think I'm going off the point. the reason i started this blabber was this..


It is said we always want what we can't have.( I don't agree with that bull shit. We will only want what we don't have. if we have it already , why would we want that?? and in today's world there is nothing you can't have). I don't watch any serials now. but recently i was watching one episode of dil mill gaye ( star one 8. 30 pm :p), and both the lead actors were wearing tacky blue and green lenses respectively. preity zinta usually looks good but the other day i saw her wearing green lenses in a pic. gross! oh and most of our dear dear favourite ekta didi's vamps and bitches have either cat eyes, grey eyes or heinous cheap blue eyes. one can literally see the black outline behind the lenses. What the hell's wrong with brown? even black looks exotic. also, all outfits don't look good on you when you got blue or grey eyes, but black compliments each and every outfit you wear. We should be proud of our eyes and eye colour.(if you are so desperate for grey eyes, live healthy, stop smoking and stop drinking, reach your old age and see your eyes turning blue or grey). always remember Sushmita Sen ( brown-eyed witch) beat Aishwariya Rai ( blue- eyed witch) in Miss India. so only being blue eyed doesn,t make you a winner. you need to be intelligent ( read being able to speak two grammatically correct sentences and adding 2 and 20) too. cheers.

Something beautiful

Two days a week,I have my classes from 7 a.m. to 6. 30 in the evening. So after nearly 12 hrs of mental slogging, one hardly has the energy to even sneeze (I know about the weird reference to a sneeze, but today is one such day and I couldn't think of anything else). so anyway, I was returning from my classes one day listenin to Bryan Adams' "everything i do...",(and it ain't exactly raining but there's a lot of wind at where i stay), when i walked under a gulmohur tree (without noticing it),
and there was a sudden gust of wind which made the branches of the tree sway and loads of beautiful gulmohur flowers fell over me. Perhaps it was the song that enhanced the beautiful feeling, but it was an amazing feeling. It felt , as if someone was grateful to me and was expressing their thanks. The soft flowers caressing my hands and face, the wind blowing and making my hair dance, it was as if suddenly I just realised what a beautiful place our earth is. Watching Steve Irwin
already made me understand animals and the need to protect them, but I'm ashamed to say that till that magical day, i hadn't really cared much for plants, i mean yes watering the plants and not plucking flowers is just living and letting live part, but now everytime I go out of my place I subconciously touch the leaves and the branches of the trees and try to feel the life in it.

Joke at wankhede stadium



After 24 years of desperate waiting, praying, fasting, shedding tears and whatnot, we did it. We won the T20 World Cup. After being ousted from the ODI World Cup in the first round itself, this team of fiery youngsters had little to lose. Minimum pressure, low expectations fuelled their determination to prove the people wrong. And this time all those who have been proved wrong are actually rejoicing that. And some cynics who thought that people are losing interest in cricket after the loss at world cup have just had a very rude awakening. Those living in Mumbai will know what I'm talking about. I think the victors' bus ride to the Wankhede stadium was more enjoyable, memorable and overwhelming than the joke of the actual "felicitation" ceremony they attended at the stadium. A certain RR Patil gave the credit of our world cup victory to Sharad Pawar (my love for the English language forces me to be civilised while i write this bit, because right now, I'm feeling anything but calm and civilised). So, next time people if we lose the match, we know whose houses we have to burn. The bloody NCP and BCCI took centre stage while the actual heroes were shunted at the back. All I have to say to these suckers for public attention is this : Dudes get a life!!! It was very shameful of them to steal the limelight away from the players to take undeserved credit for the world cup.They might want to start hoping the public didn't take much notice of this or they might have a tough time getting votes, but I think Indian's deserve much more credit than what they are given. We are not stupid or blind after all. Is this called honouring of players? they were ratting away in Marathi ( no disrespect to the language) when they knew half of the team didn't even understand it. Kudos Dhoni for your one sentence which has increased my respect and admiration for you. I don't remember the exact wordings but he said something like this to Harsha Bhogle, " We have covered English and Marathi toh mein koshish karoonga hindi mein baar karne ki" muaahhh. ( btw anyone heard Shrewd Pawar's speech? omg. just for that speech i think he should apply for laughter challenge 4. he could have shown a bit more sincerity in his "congratulatory" speech. don't you think?). Now yours truly has just remembered in her whoozy brain (which is biting mad right now mind you) that she has got classes right now,so she better sign off. PS those who called me up when India were 36\4 in the 1st T20 match v\s Pakistan, and asked me to stop watching the match, or told me that India were sure to lose against Australia in the semi-finals, or India was going to disappoint again in the finals: yo people, GO TO HELL, and when you learn to have a bit more faith in the team you claim to be crazy about, come back and join in, in the celebrations. Indian team can do without fair-weather fans like you. (oh yeah I'm sure I'll hear the nonsense about how if they don't expect anything they'll be happy to see us win. seriously you need to read that book called " Power of the subconscious mind" and obtain some positive attitude towards life. Gotta go or this may be the last time I'll be writing here cause one can hardly blog after being murdered by their overambitious professors.

Inspirational




i came across this awesome story when i was checking my mails and i have printed it and added it to my personal folder where i keep all the articles i particularly like or those which have been written by me. so the story goes like this ......
The Seed

A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to chose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his directors or his children, he decided to do something different.

He called all the young executives in his company together.

"It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO," he said. "I have decided to choose one of you."

The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a seed today - a very special seed. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO."

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed.

He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed.

Every day, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.

Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.

Six months went by - still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however. He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - he so wanted the seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection. Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened.

Jim felt sick at his stomach. It was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right.

He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful--in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed. A few felt sorry for him!

When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.

Jim just tried to hide in the back.

"My, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown," said the CEO.

"Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!"

All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the financial director to bring him to the front.

Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"

When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed. Jim told him the story.

The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Here is your next Chief Executive! His name is Jim!"

Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed. How could he be the new CEO the others said?

Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed.

I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me
today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.

All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers.

"When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive!"

If you plant honesty, you will reap trust

If you plant goodness, you will reap friends.

If you plant humility, you will reap greatness.

If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment

If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective.

If you plant hard work, you will reap success.

If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.

So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.___

the beginning



ok. so this is my first ever post. so i'd like to start with sharing something which is very dear to my heart, after my family and friends of course.
A BOY NAMED POTTER

Once upon a time there was a boy,
In a broken cupboard he used to lie.
He was all alone in despair,
No one for him was there to care.

With him he had no joys but struggles.
Well, that’s because he lived with the muggles.
They gave him for dinner roasted bread,
And belied the truth of the scar on his forehead.

How lonely and wretched his life was.
His every act would end up to a chaos.
But in a peculiar place was he known,
For the charm with which he had grown

Then one day,
A man named Hagrid visited from far,
And explained why he was bearing that scar.
He said,” dear boy, you belong to Hogwarts city,
Where you are a renowned entity.”

So they flew away from unloving dears,
Who were then left with countless fears.
On reaching, everyone greeted him happily,
And he made friends with Ron and Hermione.

“From now you’ll be engaged in sorcery,”
Said the head of the management of wizardry.
Soon he was busy in learning spells,
Flying with brooms, resting in dwells.

But trouble did not abandon him so easily,
As he was the one, you see,
To whom evils would want to tatter,
As his name was Harry Potter.
