Off the top of my head...

Friendship is a weird thing. You spend months, sometimes YEARS thinking someone is your friend..and one fine day you figure how little you actually know about him/her. I've recently learnt a lot about friendship...some of which I wish I hadn't learnt..then again, its not ALL bad..

Someone I had considered a friend for a while now did something no friend ever would, or should..another one of my best friends showed a side of himself I had never seen before, which completely perplexed me..then again, someone I hadn't spoken to in years recently became someone who talked me through a very bad time, and continues to talk me through ...well... graduate school ;). And then I made a friend in 3 days, who I think will be a best friend for life. The significant other , who I met a relatively short while ago, has fast become one of the best friends I ever have, or ever will make :)


I repeat myself when I say- weird, this friendship thing....life was so much simpler as a kindergarten goer. The kid who pushed you on the playground was the bad guy, and the kid who held out her hand and pulled you up was the good one..and that was that. None of this business about having to understand hidden motives, circumstances, situations and all that nonsense.

The guy wasn't cracked then,when he said - "A friend is one who walks in when others walk out"

The story of the dumb "phak", and other anecdotes.

So I don't know how many of you feel this way, but I , for one, am perplexed by women who abuse all the time. Let me rephrase, I'm perplexed by people who abuse all the time. One of the most over-used (I was going to say abused, but then it seemed cliched) words of all time is the F-word. There are people I've known who find it essential to use the word fuck (this is an R-rated blog post) in almost every single sentence that leaves their mouth. "Fuck you..yada yada" or "F that shit .. etc etc" or "you etc etc fucking etc etc". I mean how hard is it to not use the same word again and again? The English vocabulary is very very vast, and people who are giving/have given the GRE will nod their heads solemnly when they read this. For the rest of you guys who read well, you should still agree. But I digress. Inspite of having a gazillion words, of which I'm sure a good many are abuses, why, why is it so so life essential to use the word "fuc

Everyone is writing about that in their blog. So I wont. I don't think talking about it will help..atleast not here. To everyone reading this blog - if you are that concerned and agitated about the current state of defence and security in India, please don't waste time discussing it online. Go out and vote in the next general elections, state elections, whatever, instead of calling it a "chutti" and sitting at home. If you feel that no one is worth voting for, then cast your vote as a "I vote for none" vote....yes, there IS that option...look it up. This isn't a dinner/Barista discussion topic. If you want to do something about it, go out and atleast show your support at candle light vigils, and in peace protest marches. And if you cant do that, then, I repeat, don't waste time being a pseudo intellectual, and discussing it online. I'm veering off topic. This blog post isn't about terrorism. Its about happy stuff, and what may seem to many l

What is it about people?

1] People who make their gtalk/gchat status - "this is what I had for dinner last night" AND uploading a picture of it as the display pic (err...does it look like I care???) 2] People who write blogs and display msgs addressing movie stars, rock bands and celebrities (RIIIIGHT- because they've just been dyyyyyying to hear from you. AND breathlessly check your blog and gchat status everyday to find out what you think about them) 3] People who use "ma/ lyk /da" and the ilk (Come ON! Are you telling me that ALL the money your parents spent sending you to school went down the pooper???) 4] People who wear their jeans below their underwear (Come on kid, PULL UP YOUR PANTS!)
