THIS DAY........of all days.

India and all her military might.......such grandeur and pomp...

today, nothing seemed a bigger joke.

A Second Read.

"In spring, when woods are getting green, I'll try and tell you what I mean; In summer, when the days are long, Perhaps you'll understand the song."
- Lewis Carroll


To feel the magic you don't always have to understand.......

The Birthdays.

People who are even remote acquaintainces of mine will confidently tell you that I usually forget things. Especially B'days.(yes, I know that you know where this post is going but you can wipe that smug expression off your silly face.) Ten days into yhe new year and ive already forgotten two B'Days. Not my fault. When ive got 4 exams for which im not prepared, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Haule Haule, Tujh mein rab dikhta hai and Dance pe Chance all together what can the poor me do? You tell me. would you have been able to cope? And then they are not even on orkut. And I dont even have a cell to set reminders in.

But oddly enough I hate people to death for forgetting my B'Day. Thats a henious crime I dont forgive people for. A few suns ago A had forgotten my birthday. And knowing me,( she was my friend after all.) she didnt have the courage to call me up for months. And I mean it literally. For months. When she finally did...I think she'll remember that phone call for years to come. And probably even live to tell tales to her grandchildren about it. On second thoughts, knowing her( I am her friend after all..) she might not.

So now off I go to make a call. And hope that the heavens and the earths have mercy on me.

Something found.

I should have found this a week ago when I was all christmassy.But I didn't then and I did now. So im putting this up, late though it may be. It expresses so perfectly what I found inexplicable.

"Christmas is not a time or a season, but a state of mind.To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, to have the real spirit of christmas"
- Calvin Coolidge; 30th president of the United States.

A New Begining..........

........and the first one for my blog.

I spent my day studying as i usually like spending my 1st Januarys.....just a kind of superstition that I have. You spend the entire year doing what you do on the first. So today was a day spent in exhaustive brain activity. Ive long nourished a secret ambition of becoming a workaholic. Looks as if im getting closer to that year by year. Liking my studies more and more.....If only I could ignore the absolutely vast periods of lethargy that would put even hibernating creatures to shame.

I love the modern century. Its so fascinatingly complex. Makes you realise the fragility of man in his entirety.The helplesness it itself faces from a world changed by him alone- willingly and eagerly. the modern man...confused rather than being empowered. Unable to cope with his rapidly changing psyche.Man is at new crossroads in his eternal quest to discover the self. And he must survive the harsh winds of change that threaten to tear him apart.-winds he's churned up himself.

"the woods are lovely, dark and deep....
but i have promises to keep...
and miles to go before i sleep"

Ive got many promises to keep. Most of them to myself. Somehow I dont really like promising things to other people.Unlike the ones you make to yourself you cant break them.

Newer beginings, Newer adventures, Newer awakenings.
