MY RANDOM BRAIN

As soon as I titled the name of this post as "MY RANDOM BRAIN", a lot of random thoughts started coming into my mind, though that is nothing new! I think that I think in a speed comparable to umm..lot of high speeds! Maybe I think faster than I speak or well maybe not..come to think of it, I do speak way too fast. But i have a reason behind speaking fast or rather i can reason my speaking fast, because the reason came after I actually started speaking fast. The reason is that I intend to fit in more words in lesser time and the result - saves time,energy,money(if I speak on phone)! But the problem is that I have so much to speak, that it ends up wasting time,energy and yes money...
I have heard my mom tell me a zillion times," zyaada bolne se dimaag kam hota hai"..and now i have actually come to believe this. I think my brain is reducing, not so much in size but in strength...strength ? Don't think this is the right word and that this is what I intended to say. Well, anyways, I have begun, or well rather I am trying to begin to speak less. But what to do, in my profession, I end up having to speak more. I see my batchmates filling one after other extra sheets during an exam while I come out, with a contented smile on my face, thinking I have done an amazingly well paper by not even managing to finish the first answer sheet provided to me completely! So, in the next exam, I try and write more, and a lot more of nonsense, when I feel that I could have finished my exam in much less. Well, now that I am on vacation (so to say), who cares what I wrote in the exam, not until the dreaded results emerge!
Vacation is yet another story. I have a 2 month long vacation, yeaaah, damn long! But, when I don't have time, well then what...I DON'T HAVE TIME. And when I do have time, I end up diverting it in my "daily dose of time waste". Yeaah Yeaah, I know time is precious, but that I realize when I don't have it.Phew.
My mommy dear, is haggling with this contractor next door, who is building, or no, breaking the house next door, as of now. The damn dust, grime, mud and a lot of chik chik with these people. But what to do. This will continue for a long time, till the time a brand new house (with lot of money thrown into it) comes up.
Yet, I love my home, despite the dust in the neighbourhood. I love my city, despite the heat (that outsiders crib about..well then, why the hell don't you stay in YOUR city). I love my city, despite the crowded buses (another complaint of invaders..well..it is your choice, don't travel in them..WHO CARES?). Ohh..more of my city's tareef (I am forgetting the English word) in some other post.
Signing off..no..NOT RUNNING OUT OF more random thoughts...they are pouring in my mind and from here, into my Pensieve..touche! Well, some other time.

well seems like u really love ur city...nd ur home.It also seems that u manage to stay generally busy nd dont feel the need to frequently hang out with friends...nice observations abt ur lifestyle nd how u live life on ur own terms...though i cant understand how u can think that speaking more helps in conserving energy...the term daily dose of timepass is pretty interesting...nd i think the word u were looking for is efficiency...as in ur brain is becoming less efficient. Anyways a nice start to ur blogging experience....keep it up...

"Just Friends"

Public Display of Affection (Or PDA as it is commonly known) is, well, as is self evident - a public display of affection. There was a time when this phrase was more commonly used for lovers! (And not for the "Just Friends" category of people). However, with time, even its connotations have greatly changed, keeping into account the changing trends! A publicly given hug or public holding of hands or publicly keeping one's hand on the other's shoulder etc were forms of PDA. In cases of "Just Friends", there was no PDA. No holding hands, no hugs, no resting heads on shoulders etc etc. There was always a distance (both physical and emotional!). But today's friendships are very Close. Everyone seems to be claiming - "Ooooh, she/he is a very close friend of mine!" (These "Close Friends" are generally, almost always, of the opposite sex and NO they are not the Bf/Gf of the person so claiming, Mind it!) The number of close friends has increas...

I FEAR

Poet - Anonymous I feared being alone until I learned to like myself ... I feared failure until I realized that I only fail when I don't try ... I feared success until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself ... I feared people's opinions until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway ... I feared rejection until I learned to have faith in myself ... I feared pain until I learned that it's necessary for growth ... I feared the truth until I saw the ugliness in lies ... I feared life until I experienced it's beauty ... I feared my destiny until I realized that I had the power to change my life ... I feared hate until I saw that it was nothing more than ignorance ... I feared ridicule until I learned how to laugh at myself ... I feared growing old until I realized that I gained wisdom everyday ... I feared the future until I realized that life just kept getting better ... I feared the past until I realized that it could no longer hur...

It's all about loving your parents..

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham was all about loving your parents, or so Karan Johar wanted us to believe. Though that is a moot point, I am not concerned with it. Irrespective of what it was, K3G is and will remain (I hope for sometime more!) one of my favourite movie. Even though the storyline did not exactly justify the tagline (as per all the people who exert influence on my thought process :D), yet, the tagline did and always does make me think. So does the dialogue by SRK to kid brother Hrithik - "ज़िन्दगी में कुछ बनना हो, कुछ हासिल करना हो, कुछ जीतना हो, तो हमेशा अपने दिल की सुनो, और अगर दिल से भी कोई जवाब ना आये तो अपनी आँखें बंद करके अपने माँ और बाबा का नाम लो, फिर देखना तुम हर मंजिल पा सकोगे, हर मुश्किल आसान हो जाएगी, जीत तुम्हारी होगी, सिर्फ तुम्हारी." Filmy as it is, the strength of it can be tested in real life. It works :) I remember my mom telling me something similar (when I was fretting for an impending exam!) much before it became popular by K3G, though ofcourse no...
