This one is for Lexical lyfe.....

Sometimes, the urge to write is so strong that this is the kind of output it eventually brings out...

The use of English has been confined to communicating when needed, reading and writing off late, it has hardly taken a dominating role in my common parlance but then too some of the words in English has assumed greater importance in life and these are the word which I like most and which dominates my thinking and personality in some way or the other.

So, here it goes.....


'We all need little bit of MADNESS in our lives.' Yours truly once said this.
MADNESS is the word which has always attracted me for its ability to generate positive vibes (you can always disagree). It has a dash of arrogance to it.
It is certainly the word I am trying to inculcate in my life.


‘I believe in KARMA.’ You will find this line somewhere here in this blog. A word adopted in English from Sanskrit which literally means all of your actions will have equal repercussions, affecting you.
I am still trying to understand and comprehend the theory of KARMA but one thing for sure I like the whole concept. This covers whole lot of traits such as values, principles and ethics which forms the basis of the KARMA.


INERTIA has been always strong in my case. Its kind of inbuilt mechanism in my mind which makes its presence felt in the thoughts and behavior to certain extent.
And another thing, to be very frank I like the way it sounds, certainly one of the most beautifully sounding word in my dictionary.


I like RANDOM things. I like things randomly which does not have set pattern and has ability to surprise at times. How about RANDOM life....?
In recent past it has been the case as far as the life goes and let me confess that I am loving it.


MELANGE: A varied mixture of various elements.
MELANGE of colours... MELANGE of emotions... and an abstract MELANGE... aah...
It’s very interesting to put this word in the various aspects of life. Something that says there are no extremes in life. Little bit of this and little bit of that, basically a MELANGE of interpretation.


Last but not the least, 'LIFE'. I guess this is the most overused word in my dictionary with gamut of meanings. So simple but yet so complicated.
LIFE = Feelings, Dreams, Reality, Insanity, Passion, Sadness, Serendipity, Nostalgia, Money, fame and all other shit that you can think of.
This word covers the world in itself; I believe this word can not be defined absolutely. There’s always room for ones own interpretation.
I don’t know why but I always feel that it should be spelt as LYFE and not LIFE but as always it always can’t be the way you want it to be.
Such is LYFE.....!!! I mean LIFE....


That’s it for now....

Frozen times

They say you can’t stop the time, but don’t you think we can?
Photographs are nothing but time frozen in frames. Time may have moved on but that click of your camera has frozen that moment of time in the frame for eternity.

Photographs are symbol of man's eternal desire of relating to its past, to dive into nostalgia, to relive those moments.

Every picture has a story to tell…. That bursting emotion, charming expression, the beauty of object.... It gives unexplainable high at times and acts as unparalleled source of inspiration.... It truly is silent communication.

Everything seems beautiful behind the camera through the lens....

And finally the disclaimer.... This has been written in very happy and nostalgic state of mind so might come across as narrow minded thinking so readers discretion is advised.... LOlz....

Happy clicking....

INERTIA...

as they say is very strong and I am feeling it, still trying to sink in the feeling of HERE AND NOW world…

Going out was never like the same. It was different may be because of varied reasons like the purpose of going, accompanying people, expectations and probably the destination…

Went with a child like enthusiasm and had some wonderful time with some wonderful people. It proved to be a great learning experience. Formed some opinions, created memories, had some meaningful discussions, and gathered some food for thought and realizations were always there as usual…

Certain things were centre point of life for that 11 days and they are still making their presence felt in sub-conscious mind…

Here it goes

9W 117 …Royal National …2306…Pounds…Tesco…Russel Square…Oxford Street…BhelpuriHouse…Motijheel…MacD…Carlsberg…LSE…Oyster…Tube…Primark…Magic 105.4…99 Pens Store…Starbucks…

I know it all sounds like abstract but wel... Thats ME...

Sabse piche hum khade....

Its amazing how music has such an everlasting impression, it has a power to occupy your mind and thoughts. It can put you in hibernation or make super active....

Heres one more amazingly beautiful song by Silk Route. A kind of song you'll prefer when in blue....
Simple lyrics, powerful effect....(!!!)




Zara nazar uthake dekho.... Baithe hai hum yahi....
Bekhabar mujse kyu ho.... Itne bure bhi hum nahi....(2)

Zamane ki bato me uljo na.... Hai ye aasan janena....
Khudse jo agar tum pucho.... Hai hum tumhare ke nahi....

Teri aankho ka jadu.... Puri duniya pe hai....
Duniya ki iss bhid me.... Sabse piche hum khade....

Sabse piche hum khade....

Mehfile aai aur gai.... Log aye aur gaye....
Tum jo aaj ayeho.... Dil me ho bas gaye....

Muskura ke baat talo na.... Fir miloge jo kahi....
Dekhna yahi kahoge.... Itne bure the hum nahi....

Teri aankho ka jadu.... Puri duniya pe hai....
Duniya ki iss bhid me.... Sabse piche hum khade....

Sabse piche hum khade....

Teri aankho ka jadu.... puri duniya pe hai....
Duniya ki iss bhid me.... Sabse piche hum khade....

Sabse piche hum khade....Sabse piche hum khade....
Sabse piche hum khade....Sabse piche hum khade....

How to say NO….?

If you’re reading this to find the answer of this question den m sorry to disappoint you,
Because I am also in search of the answer….

It seems very simple but most of us know how difficult it is....!! I am sure everyone must have faced this problem as to how to say NO, unless you’re like me who finds it very difficult owing to the particular kind of nature.

When it comes to do something against our beliefs or value system, the mind goes for a toss.... There is nothing black or white; everything is in the shades of grey....

99% of the time, the world is not going to stop if we say NO to someone, but the problem is that we overlook that 99% and go for the remaining 1%....

Hai koi jawab..... How to say NO.....???

Partners In Crime

AKA Friends....

Remember...? Together we did so many things for the 1st time in life which is otherwise forbidden. Friends were partners in that crime and till date the partnership continues in some or the other way...

Ever wondered how many kinds and types of friends we make in entire life time…!! school friends, college friends, society friends, tuition and classes friends, social friends, post graduation college friends, travelling friends, online friends, room mates, office colleagues, friends through common friends........

Friends.... Undoubtedly one of the most important influence on anybody's life with hard to find an exception in this regard. They influence what you like, what you speak, what you do to certain extent….. To cut the long story short, they have the major say in determining the personality.

If we think of life as a journey, then friends are people who travel with us when our path meets. We travel together creating memories on our way to cherish them later on, till our path and priorities change. We say goodbye to some of them and welcome new ones on our journey… Try and relate this to friends that come in our life….

It’s very difficult to be in touch with all these friends nowadays days in our so called busy life. We don’t have time for friends with whom we had some wonderful time of our life..... Strange.... isn’t it...??

Off late, Orkut has made it easy for us to be in touch with our long lost friends. Writing testimonial for some of my close friends is on my TO DO list for quite some time now, but lets se when ill do that.

I know I have not kept up with the title in this post but who cares...? I couldn’t find better title then this and after all, it’s not necessary that title should correlate to content.......!!! Friends are indeed partners in crime; at least I prefer calling them this way.

As I finish writing this, some known faces intrudes my mind and fills me with nostalgia....

Word's Worth

ETHICS....VALUES....PRINCIPLES....
CHARACTER....HONESTY....INTEGRITY....
LIFE....KARMA....FRIENDSHIP....MEMORIES....
FAMILY....LOVE....EMOTION....DEVOTION....
PROBLEMS....PAIN....PLEASURE....
GOALS....DREAMS....REALITY....PEACE....CHAOS....
FEELINGS....LONELINESS....HAPPINESS....SADNESS....
MONEY....PASSION....PERFECTION....OBSESSION....EGO....
DESIRE....INSANITY....MADNESS....



Little bit of everything....

When you are feeling lonely its loneliness, when you think about your future and aspire to be something or get something its dream, when you think of good and bad the ethics, values, principles, character, karma and all comes in picture.

Thinking about life you will come across all these words which more or less define LIFE as a whole. All these words takes a lead or plays an important role in ones life at any given point of time, depending upon the situations, circumstances and mindset of the person at that time.

It certainly is a ramification of past experience, future expectations and surrounding environment. These are the things that determines the behaviour of individuals and gives a dimension to the personality, but the biggest question is whether these things leads to the actions of human beings or the actions of human beings leads to these things........?

It’s worth giving it a thought..........

Online Karma

WWW
World Wide Web

Just look at the meaning of the words. The network which is worldwide, which has its web spread across the world.

Ever since the invention of internet, the use, user and usability are on the rise constantly. The pace at which the internet has grown can be termed as revolution in the history of mankind.

It has been one of the most important contributors in globalizing the world and making world a global village along with international trade, sophisticated means of communication and transportation.


> Today, when we talk about internet, ONLINE is the ubiquitous world that we come across. It’s a worldwide phenomenon.
ONLINE means when you are connected to the internet. The term ONLINE started as functional, became fashionable and now it has got generic connotation.
The term online has led to identity crisis in many users life. Online and offline existence have created split personality in many cases.


> KARMA means what you do, as simple as that. KARMA is your actions, something that you carry with yourself for rest of life.
No, I am not suddenly deviating from the topic. With simple meaning of karma, attach the meaning of your online activities.


Amalgamation of these two words, ONLINE and KARMA gives us a new word ‘’ONLINE KARMA’’, a new concept which says what you do online is your online karma…… ( OMG, Am I developing a new theory here….?)

A quick imagination will lead you to think various activities that lead to ONLINE KARMA.


# Chatting: I guess this is the 1st thing people do after getting familiar with internet. No wonder it has led to some great friendships and marriages too.

# Downloading music, movies, clips, pictures etc.

# Social networking sites such as orkut, hi5, facebook etc have changed the way we keep in touch with others

# Online shopping and trading (B2B, B2C and what not), online banking

# Online gaming and virtual reality (the next big thing).

# Blogging (ahaaa…)


This list will go on and on and on….. ONLINE KARMA is here to stay.

As you carry your karma with you….. always. You carry your ONLINE KARMA whenever you are online.

So… whats your ONLINE KARMA today……….???

Realizations.......

Experience..... This is something that life teaches you.
It can be good, bad or ugly....
Realizations are by products of these experiences... these are some of my realization from interaction with the thing called LIFE

# Never judge a book by its cover, same goes with people.

# It’s all about money honey.

# The thing that you think is your strength is actually your weakness.

# Being together is not friendship.

# Life is not all that complicated as we see it.

# Nobody dies virgin, life fucks all…. unknown

# I should learn to say NO.

# Always underestimated myself.

# Happiness- so far, so close. Its a subjective term.

# Movies are not all that crap.

# I have changed.

# Jealousy takes you nowhere, envy does.

# Winner takes it all.

# Finally, I can write sense.

Aajkal.....

Hmmm.... aajkal life is crawling at very routine, monotonous way for last 22 days.
Well, exams are on and it has made the going dull.
I get up at everyday at 8 in the morning; take a breakfast watching Tom and Jerry (!!) at 9. Start the studies and study till 12 then again get ready and leave for the exam.

Paper starts at 2:10 daily instead of 2:00, I don’t know y? I and karan finish the paper with little bit tankjhank at each others papers. Leave for home after some quick analysis of the paper with friends. Its so much fun watching and observing peoples reaction after exams. I come online around 7:00
in the evening, do some tp and get back to books by 9:00 or so.... study till 12 and then go to bed and get up next morning at 8:00..............

- Was stunned by the news of VTec shootout and death of Indian student named Minal Panchal. Spent hours thinking on the incident. a senseless act of some XYZ person made her 'was' from 'is'.
May her soul rest in peace.


- In last four days pandu caught me twice, once for PUC and once for helmet. second time I gave away the license instead of money.


So this is what I am up to....... aajkal.

RedBox and Ferrari

It was the occassion of celebration of our success as a group which has stunned everybody rather than just surprising. It was also occassion of confeesions, mutual admiration, some brainstorming and some future plans of 3rd trimester.

The session was great especially after putting in so much of hardwork(read slogging), burning our nights sleep for countless days and leading a BPL (Below Poverty line) life as a PG student(this is also a topic for special discussion).

Theres this guy Karan who has been with us since the beginning of the trimester. I never knew so much about this chap. He is that typical happy go lucky, been there done that kind of attitude free genuine person. And I dint knew he owns Ferrari....!!

"If I had a voice like yours, Aishwarya Rai would have been mine." Karan to me.
I dont know under what EXTERNAL influence he said like this but now you know its mutual admiration club....

May the madness and insanity last forever....



Now its time to get back to work and start preparing for mother of all exams, 18 papers in 21 days.... marathon as they say....

Blog in lecture....

Wow.... such a grt feeling....

Here I am, in the lecture of CRM with my laptop n writing this blog entry....
Something on Customer Relationship Management is going on and this prof wants us to develop some thought process....!!! hhaaa....!!!

One thing for sure its bullshit, 12 30 on clock and he wants us to do something stupid, am more bothered about my lunch rather then CRM rite now...

This is the one class where anyone can do anything in the class without bothering about the faculty....

Half the class is in on laptop doing orkuting, chating, seeking info for their projects......

Well, this is great, coming online during lecture gives you time to reply to ur friends on orkut, you can mail something important if u have to and the list canl go on.....
Its such a great relief after 3 hrs of grueling OB and Economics lecture....... it also provides impetus to bear the following 3 lectures like Business Law, WDR and Managerial Economics.....

Now got to go, I just saw Mihir online.... Ill to talk to him for sometime and then the lecture is done.....

Well, I cant upload this entry on blog right now, ill do it when its possible....

Those were the days.......

Those were the days.......

when life was little too easy..
when days, months and years came and went in a hurry..
when life seemed more of a carnival rather than caravan..
when friends were more than colleagues..
when friendship involved more of willingness than formality..
when going to college was basic necessity..
when bunking lecture wasnt a big deal..
when canteen meant more than food..
when party never required any reason..
when sunday was more than a holiday..

THINGS ARE CHANGING
BUT NOTHING CHANGES
AND STILL, THERE ARE CHANGES........

-ENIGMA

So true,
This line by enigma in one of its songs perfectly describes the constant conundrum that is faced by human mind.......

Things are changing, constantly changing........... but if we see it from the other perspective it doesnt, we still worry about things that is beyond our reach and try to change things that is not in our hand........ and still it changes because change is the universal truth.........


Sounds complicated ha..........???

Reflectionzzzzz...........


Here I am,
10 50 on the clock,
U2 on win amp,
Something stupid on my mind,
After 4 months of my so called MBA,
Trying to analyze what have I gained from past 4 months which has been very happening in terms of varied experiences from my interactions with my new friends and handling all the kind of situations….!!!!!

Well, the beginning wasn’t quite good, started late when the course has already began, and then after 2 days when I started feeling comfortable in one section I was moved to another section, n then the real course started after freshers party.

Started going to college regularly but wasn’t able to quite adjust with the pace of the curriculum, at times also felt that it’s too vast with too many subjects.
At the same time, was very uncomfortable with the kind of friends I was getting along.
Had to do most of the projects with people who were not like minded, at times paid the price for it.

The whole feel and the environment were so different from what I had always seen. Got to see all kind of people, people who are just doing time pass and with ‘give a damn attitude’ to very professional and highly qualified people, also saw people having great knowledge but has Himalayan attitude at the same time some of them are most humble people I have ever seen.

Now, in the 2nd trimester already feeling the pinch of 19 subjects. But it seems to be another rocking session, with new group of friends. I hope to correct the kind of mistakes that were committed knowingly or unknowingly.
