Kahan rehte ho?

So, have I stopped blogging? No! Actually its just that I have started spending a litlle less time in front of the computer. Well, nevermind. Last few weeks every week has been of just four working days, one of the days being off due to some kind of holiday or the other.

You know wat I saw today? Well, just on the NRS Avenue (thats the other part of the street thats called Scholars' Avenue), on the other side of the GJ Stadium, come on, just in front of the Diro's house, a small puppy with its mother, the two of them were almost jogging slowly in harmony, parallel to each other! And it looked so cute...

(Wished I had a camera...)

Gosh, I actually went a lot of places today, and saw many new places within the insti itself, which I hadnt seen before.

Raddoz was there with me.....

I went to the top floor of the main building, the Cash section and the Academic section, had never even seen them. Came down by the elevator, first time again!!!! Walked walked walked all the way through the main building, walking past and through almost all the departments on the southern side of the main building... went through a long, very long corridor. Finally we reached VGSOM. Went inside the complex too, unfortunately the security guard stopped us and asked what work did we have inside, I said "I havnt seen this complex, I just want to see it from inside"... he said "Sorry thats not permitted". With a long face we came out and sat on a concrete bank just near the Nescafe at VGSOM, again, it was the first time I went to that particular Nescafe outlet. From there, got up and walked to the Museum. Went inside and went about the museum... its a pretty ordinary one, but the building is awesome!! Again the first time that I actually went inside it! Then went around the aircraft and the train, saw the prison cells, and one "dark-room" that I had never seen before!!!!

Never thought I would visit so many places in a single go. I almost felt like I was on a Campus-darshan or a campus tour sort of!! Was it an excursion? Was it just roaming around? It was anyways a time worth spent!!

BTW, some people have tagged my blog as a lal-hara-nila-pila (red-green-blue-yellow) piece of junk!!

(Yellow or Orange: sorry for that)

Killing Me Softly

Last few days, I had been watching a few movies, and none of them were really amongst the best that I've seen, but they were good. Simple and smooth, happy endings, a bit of drama and a little bit of emotions too.

About a Boy,

Motorcycle Diaries

My Life wihtout Me.

All these movies were different in their own ways. But all were quite good!! The movie "About A Boy" starring Hugh Grant, particularly impressed me and so did a song that was featured in it- Killing Me Softly With His Song.

I dont know whom this song belongs to, but I have just fallen in love with the lyrics and tune of this song. Whether its Fugees or Lauryn Hill or arethey same, I dont know, I just love this song now!!

Strumming my pain with his fingers,

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me softly with his song,

Telling my whole life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song.

I heard he sang a good song,

I heard he had a style,

And so I came to see him and listen for a while.

And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes,

Strumming my pain with his fingers,

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song....

I felt all flushed with fever,

Embarrassed by the crowd,

I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.

I prayed that he would finish,

But he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers,

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song....

Its a Designer World

Hi all, I am sorry, have not been blogging that frequently these days, too loaded somehow. Got 3 labs per week, that leaves me free with just one afternoon per week!!!! So many things to do, and so less time I've got!! This sem is heavy, but I can proudlysay I havnt bunked a single lecture till now. Unfortunately, I was thrown out of a class on the very first day, but I promise that was all!!

The weather is nice and cold. Atleast its much colder than that in Bombay. Its a pleasure really to wear sweater and move around in this perfect cold weather. Its not harsh, its pleasent. Specially that time of the evening when the sun has just come down and there is a brownish golden tinge in the sky and the barren trees with no leaves on them, add to it Raddoz, and that makes a perfect condition to go on a walk!! Its been really wonderful, the way I have been spending my evenings. Something special!!

I have also been thinking about a lot of things, about future, about life, about just everything. And all it needs is a bit of patience. Eventually hope is all that we can do, we can only pray for things to go the way we want them to, cant force them. Whatever is, is destined to be, cos it is designed to be that way.

The world has not evolved, it has been designed to be like this!!

Walking By The Woods....

How do you feel in the evening when you

walk with someone who is so special to you?

Isn't it a wonderful feeling to walk or just ride or just sit with trees around and leaves falling off, and the moon over the head shining down on us and the birds in those trees making a chirp or a hussle in the leaves you know wat... Its like keeping all your worries back in that other side of the world and stepping into a fresh one and two hearts united together in love. Its a very fresh world, a world where we can be ourselves and yet stay out of the bad world. Love is camouflaged with nature and its beauties. Its being in a complete new realm where you forget everything that had happened and had troubled you and just look ahead towards brighter prospects in life. Its like always feeling the presence of your loved one beside and the assurance that that person is always there no matter what!!

Well, but a winter evening and walking by the woods reminds me of this poem by Robert Frost, that I had done in my school...

Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

Happy New Year!!

Hi people,

Firstly, let me wish you all a very happy, bright and succesful, prosperous new year!!

This year, should be special not just to me but I guess to all of you! There is a lot of hope in the stock and it must come out now.

2005, was overall a mixed kind of year for me and I guess for the world too!! Ups and downs, good and bad, struggles and victories, hope and despair, love and emotions, belongingness and unwantedness, and not just these but many others and so many more were gone through. It was a long year, atleast for me. But the thing that stands out for me, is something special, very special and very close to me! But with this, I had to face hardships and sadness. And yes, how can I not forget this? I travelled almost 15000 kilometers this year, and I think that is a lot. But then I enjoy travelling.....!! But over and above all, I am happy that another year has gone by. Time never waits, does it? Should it? Who knows, Only Time...

Who can say where the road goes,

Where the day flows?

Only time...

And who can say if your love grows,

As your heart chose?

Only time...

Who can say why your heart sighs,

As your love flies?

Only time...

And who can say why your heart cries,

When your love dies?

Only time...

Who can say when the roads meet,

That love might be,

In your heart.

And who can say when the day sleeps,

The moon still keeps on moving

If the night keeps all your heart?

Night keeps all your heart...

Who can say if your love grows,

As your heart chose?

Only time...

And who can say where the road goes,

Where the day flows?

Only time...

Who knows? Only time...

Who knows? Only time...
