kick ass

Vinayak is one of my closest friends. He keeps coming up with interesting theories about life and this one is my all time favourite. Its called the Kick Ass theory and basically revolves around the following two points -

1. Life's purpose is to kick as many asses as possible.

2. The world is full of asses.

Most of the times one feels bad, is when he/she misses an ass...But what he needs to do is to stop being fixated with the ass he missed and look around a bit, he will find another luscious ass in a second and then kick it hard.

The asses can belong to several things like, time... your assignment... your guitar... your drums... your computer... your emotions... etc. These are the potential things whose ass you can kick.
The theory has a corollary as well...

If you are confused about life or something...and are not able to kick asses, then still just keep kicking...you will eventually reach an ass.

Happy ass kicking :D

'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

Kunwarji ke liye :P

Haal hai "Kunwarji" ke dil ka. Bol diye hain "maine".
likha tha "on the spot"

1 hai khayalon mein.

In 2 aankhon mein

3 din se soye nahi

4 baatein hai baaton mein

5 baje uthh jate hain

6 baar nahate hain

7 din nikal jate hain

Par 8 wa nahi kat ta :P

9 rang hain uske

10 baatein karti hai

11 baje kahin dikhti hai

toh dil ke 12 baj jate hain

o ji 13 ko nahi bol paaye

toh 14 ko hi sahi !

Happy Valentine's Day

:D

Its in the air.

Expectations

When you have lots of friends, it becomes difficult to manage relationships.

You will have no idea for days that a certain friend is upset with you till you figure out that every past conversation with him/her had been a monologue off late. You wonder where you went wrong because apparently your friend is reticent over the issue.
He/she assumes that "the reason" is the second most obvious thing in the world after the no.1 i-am-angry-with-you.
:) fyi, nothing's obvious on planet. Not even the idea that you're alive.
You may be Bruce Willis from the Sixth Sense.

And the reasons baffle you. You had simply missed to do that “one thing” expected from you. But you also fail to understand why people would “ absolutely hate” you for a simple mistake that you’re of course allowed to commit because you’re a human being and not God. You did a hundred things to see them smile and it took just one miss to be hated.

And what if you’re already too hurt to say a sorry?

Maybe you will just hang on and wait for things to get better on their own.

of being a Gemini

It finally stopped raining after 36 hrs. Of course thats because we are living in tropical rain forests where it rains shamelessly. Nothing else can explain this. Life’s been very odd this semester. It’s a struggle I’ve been putting up because that’s the only option I’ve been given. How do you show a happy face when at least 5 things have already completely absorbed and maddened you bordering to the limits of schizophrenia? How do we wear our smiles with our mouths wired shut?

I know crazy when I see it. It’s in the mirror these days. Although I am immensely thankful to be reminded of the many times that life hands me choices and then steps back. Somehow I screw up things completely every time mindfulness is a pain in the ass. And since I’d be dead if I don’t make it up, I put on my Superwoman cape and, amazingly get it all done.

Meanwhile, I’m lying to save my ass. I pretend everything’s just fine. I am at my happy best when I’m handling the troubles alone. It really works. Lie like a dog in such situations, and you are actually being virtuous. Or, less trivially, when the Gestapo comes by and asks if you have any people hidden in your attic, you say No! Lying can be a good thing.

The 12 day mid-sem holidays are about to end. I have been up to lots of mischief lately and hence the going will get tougher. The design classes are one thing all of us have started dreading. Hehe. Its panic time again. Like a girl/boy struggles with the teenage part of the life, we are struggling with this 5^th semester that would shape us into architects we want/ don’t want to become. We don’t eat, we don’t sleep, we fight, we overthink, underthink and do crazy things like getting up at 6:30 am on Saturday mornings to clean the room and wash clothes, watch lots of Scrubs, sweep the room floor 5 times a day, think of ooga boogas and maintain a binge chart when we eat like pigs until someone tells darling, your head’s not right.

Oh, I need an empire to overthrow!!

Someone turn me around. Can I start this all over again?

aww

Bhondu and Donkey after the annual bath.
muaah.

daddu

Chatting with Daddu is a rollercoaster now that he is in a different world. Its like two people on either side of a local train window, though I’m not sure who’s which side. Answering “ssups” and “kaisi hai parpotiye” for a while and suddenly the train starts to move. We run to maintain proximity and he tells me to enjoy my life, good food and my stay in kgp.

And then we realize the train’s slowing down for the next station. So we get back to “aur bata kgp mein sab badhiya hai na”, “hows the dep and profs” and “kaash aap convo mein aa paate”, “bhak sala”(s), “teri cycle kaisi hai ? mast na”.

Speed again.

Another round of “khush rehna bachchi” and “load na le”.

Next station. Train stops.

“kuch aur bata yaar”, “baarish ho rahi hainaa kgp mein” ( like hell ! :D ), “blogs likhte reh”, “aur haaan koi pasand aa jaaye to sankoch mat karna”.

Speed.

And for just one more time “pyar se rehna , kabhi mat jhagadnaa” “kgp ka mazaa le lo”.

He wants to relive his 5 yrs of kgp in those 20 minutes through me. He even tells me the secrets of pleasure that he himself must have taken 3-4 yrs to find out while he was here.

Yes I will enjoy the rains here.

And when it gets a little chilly in the first week of November, I will go to Chillies in the morning and have juice, bread and butter.

Oh and he writes beautifully, esp. for her :)
