The “hanging” of Saddam Husain was really unfortunate and a shameful act of cowardness. It has undone all the sympathy America had received after 9/11. The whole world was a mute spectator to a personal settlement of score, where an adamant and a shame less dictator did a cold blooded murder of a king who had courageously challenged his father. The biggest losers are the American citizens who are risked against the whole world and their morals sold to a personal enmity. This act will only make America more isolated and has made more enemies then every before. I guess the whole world should unite against the insane, arrogant, mindless and a sick dictator who is talking the whole world for granted. His personal assistant, Tony Blair should stop putting the heritage and respect of the royal British into his feet. The Iraq people should realize that it not an end of an once so called cruel dictator, but the respect and dignity of a nation. Bush has given Democracy a new meaning, “American...

I'm tired of crying The tears won't stop falling I'm sick of weeping I don't wanna see me dying I wanna stand up for myself Try to relive my soul and move on Live my life to the fullest But. . . I just can't. I'm lost "Please be with me" That's all I'm thinking "Please let me love you" And I'm just dreaming Believing all was true I'm loving no one but you Realizing I was fooled I still love no one but. . You.

Its so very difficult to get into the inner circle of some people. The Inner circle called "Trust and Friendship". Without your knowledge someone enters your inner circle, you share your inner most secrets with them. But soon you realize you never were in their inner circle. You don't get those "just aise he.." calls. They don't feel it necessary to keep you in loop about something important that happens in their life. They don't reply to your casual "hey wats up..." gestures. I thought it takes time to make any relationship work. But I guess it's the frequencies of yours should match to develop such a relationship. But sometimes the situations and destiny keep you together, natural selection playing the prank, but you don't feel that intimacy even though you are together, some just don't realize that they mean a lot for someone...

My First Video post. This was the video taken while trekking in Kodachadri

You are online all the day on messenger and no one pings you... You wait all day no one calls you on your cell... You send out interesting mails, no one replies... You "call" a lot of "friends" to find them all busy... You watch movies, nothing seems interesting... You go shopping, find nothing interesting... You are not invited in your friends group's get to gathers... You drive home daily and all on the way look like aliens...   I really think....do I exist at all on this earth...   When was the last time you really pinged someone who is waiting for you? When was the last time you called up that forgotten friend? Check out...you had forwarded all "forwarded" mails from others... How many times you pretended to be busy when your friends called you? Do u go to watch movies to relax or just because someone said its a good movie? Do u go shopping because u need something or pick up what ever u like? When was the last tim...

Whats happening? why am i not able to check my temptation. Even thought i know its so very risky, i did it. I had made sure there was not even a bleak chance of hope left. But hope is something very unreliable. No matter what happens this heart still hopes that things would be fine, just as it was. I am sure and dam sure that nothing is going to change, but getting over is something again very deceiving. Some times you think its all over, but then the next moment you are again engulfed in those thoughts. Every night the moment i close my eyes, unknowingly those thoughts start buzzing around. They continue into my late night dreams and then to my early morning once and before i open my eyes those are the first thoughts. At first they used to pain me a lot. I was trying the impossible, trying to forget. Now i have succeeded, succeeded in giving up the trying. Things just had gone out of hand. If they were in my control or i was in my own control. i would have not done anything. But every...

We all travel on a road called life. There are some who travel along with you for a while. Some travel in your vehicle while some others in their own vehicles but along side. You overtake some, some overtake you. Then comes a signal. You either cross it before it turns red or sometimes you get struck at the signal. Those traveling along side you either zoom pass, leaving you behind or wait with you. You sometimes try to catch those who had crossed the signal, but they would have gone so very further that they will be out of your sight and out of your reach. You are left with only those beautiful moments spent with them before the signal for you to cherish for the rest of your life... I had taken a deviation at the signal to take another route. But lost the way. After sometime got on to the same route to find all new faces. Now, i am waiting on a signal, waiting for it to turn green. Hoping to catch up with those who have crossed the signal and have gone way ahead of me... Zindigi ke sa...

Finally got a home theater system. Was waiting to buy a BOSE home theater...but finally gave in for this one... escXcite – ESC Series 5.1 Extreme Simply Cinema Surround System. Check this link for details - JBL.com

Its exactly two years, this day my life had started to change forever. In these two years My life changed completely. I have changed completely. Two years ago i had believed my life had settled. I thought i had achieved all that i had wanted. I thought i had seen everything. Then a tide changed everything...turning my life upside down... This day i stand completely confused, as if i am at the start of my life. Not sure of where i am to go from here. It seems as if my life has completely fallen apart. My nature has changed. My thinking has changed. Completely isolated from the world, hibernating into myself...waiting for the life to take a turn and change, hopefully for the better...

"Driving you home is my favorite time of the day...But driving away from you is the saddest part..." "I could not hate you more than i had loved you..." this is struck in my mind since morning... Today Bangalore was renamed "Bengaluru" but when will the online dictionaries going to change? its still shows as a spelling mistake. Should we be filing a RFE to Microsoft and other document writer software companies? (yeh i did a add to dictionary, but again i use so many dictionaries its difficult to add in all rt?) There is one more change. I can not ride my bike without a hellmate. Not that i never used it, but i hate when something is forced on me. And today is Ashwaria's Birthday...Happy birthday babes...

Johny Lever could have done a better job.... ....In this spoof of the original DON. It can be said, "Its not only difficult to remake the original DON, but impossible" The casting is pathetic. Boman Irani is not at all suited for the job nor is Om Puri with is big belly. The camera work is not up to the mark. SRK is aging. His persona has not carried the weight of something as big as the character of DON. The problem with SRK is he can never be called the undisputed star of the Indian film industry till Amithab is around and by the time Amithab exits even SRK's time will be up. Please avoid the movie if you dont want to hate SRK for the mistake he has done by trying to remake AB's DON.

After a long long time had been to a drama theater to check out a Drama festival which is going on at Ranga Shankara this week. The Ranga Shankara theater is very near to my home and had never checked it out. Must really appreciate the quality which has been maintained in the entire execution of the festival.   Happened to meet T.S. Nagabharana (National Award Winning director) and Arundhati Nag, both famous theater personalities. More over I was sitting beside Nagabharana while watching the play :)   Nagesh Bhonsle is a well know film personality (Siva, Sarkar etc), was the UPS of the play. He perfectly fits as a lower cast mill labor who has lost his job. His almost perfect command on Marathi flock songs added to the ambiance of the play. But I liked the performance of Kumud Mishra as a Muslim worker.   The script, I felt exaggerated the concepts of castism and communism and are a bit out dated in the current context. It does bring out the frus...

I don't know why today i remembered that day... I was so very apprehensive about how things would turn out at this stage, where everything around me was going to change. I reached the new office almost nervous and was greeted by the person who had hired me. He said “there is a surprise for you waiting upstairs” i never understood why he said that. When we went upstairs and he introduced me to this girl, i went on talking and talking to her, may be because i was thinking so much, all the time and wanted to share it with someone. It turned out that we both were to be in the same team. I did ask her to share the rick to go to the office, which i had not did something before, asking a girl for something. I observed her for the first time in the rick. I was with her for such a long time but just could not connect, but in that rick i suddenly realized i was sitting there with a beautiful girl next to me. Those deep eyes, that simplicity on her face, those black shiny hairs on her shiny c...

“Ahista Ahista” a simple realistic and a clean film. There is no story as such but still there is a pace in the movie which keeps you hooked on to the screen. The simplicity of Abhay Deol's acting took me by surprise. Soha Khan is to very sweet and cute. Wish all women be so less complex. For a change there is a movie which does not have the glitter of the silver screen nor the sense less pace nor the unwanted songs pasted over the stories. Had missed watching the movie in the the theater. Things to watch out for are: The scene where Abhay calls Soha “sister” made me laugh. The scene where Abhay kisses her for the first time and then apologies took me my surprise. The character of “Khala” at whom he yells, shouts and even fights, stands outs in the script. When Soha's boyfriend returns and Abhay refuses to recognise him speaks of the “opportunistic” in each of us. The climax just reflects the reality of life. “Yeh nahi to woh sahi, woh nahi to yeh sahi”

I hate to say this but, I have changed... I have become heartless, hardly feel anything for others in pain... I have become insensitive, care a dam for other's feelings... I have become ruthless, never care for what others my feel... I have become selfish, don't believe in giving something back... I have become a sadist, I feel the high when others fail... I have become YOU.

Context: Ross and Rachel have broken up. Ross is (trying to be) on a date with another women. Rachel bumps in... Rachel: If you don't find a way out, You should move on... Ross: Its so difficult to move on in life after what happened. Here i was sitting with a beautiful girl, she was so nice, so sweet, so very caring... yet i was thinking about you... Rachel: I know Ross, you will find someone nice realy soon. Its just a matter of time... Ross: Its easy for you to say, you had already found one. You had to just move on... Joey: You first find someone else, move on...then you breakup with the first one. Thats the way it goes. You breakup first, you are screwed man !!!

This is about a guy, a very dear friend of mine, whom I have lost to the wonderful social system we have. My friend is a very [vivacious] guy, the happiest person I have ever known, confident and courageous. Rather, he was -- till he got married. He works for one of the best companies in India. He is good at what he does. He has a wonderful career ahead of him. But he is not happy. The only time he is not depressed is when he is in his office. He dreads his wife's doubting character and a complaining nature. He would rather not go home. But, at the end of the day, he has to. He was married three years ago. Born in a cultured family, he grew up imbibing traditional values about family life. Among those, the 'responsibilities' of a son and a husband. He even gave up the girl he loved for the traditional values and for the for the honor of the family. Every morning, he wakes up at 6. He has to address all the issues in his family, to tackle before he can leave for office. He ...

Well friendship day was here. Its a good time to make new friends and wish them on this day. Its a much better time to sit back and retrospect about how many friends have we retained in the past year and how many friends have we lost because of our so called busy schedules. There are friends who would not have replied, yet there are many more to whom we have not replied for a long time. It hurts when someone who was once so close stops responding, hurts even more when you hear from them, but just you are one of the CC'ed or BCC'ed list. Yet we fail to realize that there might be others who might be just waiting to hear from you too. I guess we can retaining friends not by waiting for someone who is not responding to us, but in responding to someone who is waiting for us. Happy Friendship Day !!!

Life is a game, a game of musical chairs. The music played by destiny stops exactly when everything looks settled and we were starting to enjoying what was going on around us. Once the music stops, We start to panic and hurry up for grabbing the available chairs. Sometimes we get into the same group, but with different faces. Sometimes we don't get the desired "chair" and end up being a part of some other group. The roles remain the same in the group, just the people playing those roles differ. Sometime you play the central role in the group, dictating and planning what the group should do. Sometimes someone else takes over the group and you end up following what others say, just facilitating the group activities. Sometimes you get fed up with the group and want to break away. Only thing you can do is wait for the music to stop and life to take another turn. Sometimes you may also find yourself alone in the group...all you have to do is just wait...You never know what li...

Ooty Trip Snaps This was one of those “ Shall we go, are we going, when are we going…ok lets go ” kind of trip. Finally I had long yarned break I was looking for. Even after deciding the destination, timing, after googling for all the information required and all set to go…There were some initial “ shall we drop it…ok... Some how we will adjust…no matter what we will make it ”. Initially we were planning to make an early start at around 2:30 PM, so that we can reach Ooty by just before dinner, got delayed till 6:00 PM. In the mean time we collected some snacks for the journey, filled up the tank started for the trip. We were four of us, Knew Amit for quite sometime, had met Sa-Neha pretty recently and Su-Cherry on the same day. But there were no ice breakers necessary (which are very much required for some one like me) thanks to the sense of humor of Amit and the sweet nature of both Sa-Neha and Su-Cherry. Had a lot of fun right from the 1st km of the journey. After taking a break at a...

While talking to a good friend of mine, on why women normally tend to stack up expensive things and never use them...I was enlightened that once they get a compliment for a particular thing or a dress...they feel that they will never get any more compliments for that particular thing so they never use it ever again.   hey girls...thumere basic mein he loocha hai...we guys never ever concentrate on what a girl is wearing. Ok. Accepted guys don't have a photographic memory like gals...we don't remember what some one was wearing on a Thursday last week. A compliment is a compliment...and is never for the dress you are wearing...we give more importance to the inner person and not to how they appear from outside..hehehhe...   So if you see a girl wearing the same dress again and again, she is waiting for a compliment for that dress. Hey pls some one give a compliment and stop her from repeating that dress ever again :) Or the other way round, if you don't lik...

Met a girl some days back... She is so cute...as a new flower So very innocent...Just as a new born child The gleam in her eyes made me forget the past... Her carefree friendly attitude took my breath away... Her smile is worth everything it asks for...   Can't help but hum this song for her...   My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure. She smiled at me on the subway. She was with another man. But I won't lose no sleep on that, 'Cause I've got a plan. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw you face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you. Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by. She could see from my face that I was, -----  high, And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw you face in a ...

Even though you know what is happening, you allow your self to be pulled in some situation. May be you have not learnt to say no, or just that you want to maintain a cordial relationship. In the process you end up compromising on your own bargain. You always fail to understand how people do this to you and even get away from it. It can be as simple as people just come to you when they need some work to be done. You know they are talking to you only for getting the work done, but yet you fail to turn them away. You also know that once the work is done, they will never turn back and talk to you. You find your self in a helpless situation, not able to turn them down. May be if you are in there place, even you may be doing the same thing as they are doing. But at least make sure you don't stop talking to them once the work is done, for there is always a next time when you happen to need their help.

For a long time, I was planning to start learning Squash and finally I made it this Saturday. Thanks to Amit for dragging me to HP sports club making me wake up very very early (7:00 AM) on a Saturday morning, which is the second most difficult task for me, first difficult being sleeping before mid night.   Liking for this sport developed while trying to play Long tennis during my school days. Being too lazy to go to school on Sunday to play, I ended up playing against the wall at my terrace of my home. Then when I moved to my apartment with a squash court, I promised myself that I would for sure start playing squash in the near future, which did not happen for more than three years now.   Initially thought it would be a easy task to hit such a small squash ball, but in just five minutes I was drained out completely. If there was no inspiration around :) I would not have played for a long time (about 10 minutes :)). The other thing that surprised me was my ...

some times you cant decide on a person, you decide not to talk to them, but unknowingly you talk to them, you decide you will leave them on there own, but invariably think of them when you need something to be shared with some, probably that's true friendship - from someone

There are many a times when we try to maintain a kind of non official contact with a person from whom we expect some kind of help at some point of time. Its like having a back door entry in the standard process. It can be in the form of casual "I am alive" or "occasional greetings" kind of communications. But at times it becomes difficult to draw a line on what is "casual" and what is "personal" in such a relationship. It becomes rather more difficult when it becomes unclear if the other person is just trying to maintain such a contact or is genuinely maintaining the contact as a good acquaintance. The problem like is not able to directly clarify it, for if the contact is just a non official "official" contact then you are going over board messing up the relation. If its a genuine friendship you may end up hurting the other person. Rather tricky situation to get it clarified with out blowing it our completely.

The most peaceful and satisfying feeling is when a crying child sleeps in your arms and the most relieved felling is to see the expression on the mother's face.   The feel that the wound which induces all the pain is all you have, till the pain persists. The moment the pain disappears the very existence the wound vanishes.

Who is to be held responsible for a mess when thousands of people turn up for the event, which is poorly organized and ends up in a mess injuring the participants. Is it the hosting institute or the agency which is conducting that event.   This is exactly my question to the organizers of the Job fair held at Saptgiri collage of engineering on June 9th and 10th. The job fair was organized for all the freshers passing out of the engineering collage. The time given to the participants was 8:30 AM for the registration. By 9:AM around more than a thousand freshers were present at the venue. nothing happened till 10:00 AM. When I went and asked the organizers about the delay, they said the HR is deciding on how to take organize the event and make the registrations. The estimated expected was 20 thousand. They were not at all prepared for the crowd. There were 2 counters and the crowd was split in to two lines. By 11:00 AM, when the participants were loosing there patience...

The movie takes all unexpected turns in the first half. The next half becomes equally predictable, leaving you to just watch what you already had predicted. At the end of first half when you start expecting the movie will take a fast pace with some action and adventure, it cancels its self into the four walls of a house, leaving you asking for more.   There are a lot of surprise packages in the movie. The child character has done exceptionally well. There are a lot of funny sequences with that child character making you laugh your wits out. A first time attempt to use the old songs in the background to support the romantic sequences has worked really well and is something to watch for. The romance between Rishi Kapoor and Kiron Kher shines in the movie. Tabu's character could have been given some more scope.   Amir is back with his shayaris, mostly in the first half, one of my favorites.   Humne socha tha ki shayad, hum hi chahte hai tumko, par tu...

Man, what was all the fuss all about? Ok, fine accepted, they talked about Jesus Christ was married and had children..where does in Christianity say that getting married is a sin or have children was a sin. Christ was born to two human beings and in my opinion he getting married is perfectly a normal thing. what was So insulting about it? Well coming to the movie, Good narration, good pace, pleasant graphics and above all very good performances. Tom Hanks (for whom I went to watch the movie) did not disappoint. Over all a good made movie and a quality peace of work. The famous articrafts was very well used in the movie, specially the explanation seemed flawless. There are too many loop holes though. The justification given to killing all the decedents of Jesus was that the DNA of the living could be tested and proved. Okie..but where on earth will you get the DNA of Jesus...(hey how about someone finding the DNA of Jesus and then trying to clone him...another controversial movie, anyon...

The past drifts away, into the cloud of time. Its time that soothens the wounds of the past, but they do raptures at times. Time takes the pain away, but the memories still remain, forever.   Taking along all the beautiful moments, leaves you with a vacuum You don't hold on to your past, you do get new friends but forgetting the memories associated with them saddens. Some things have to end with out a reason, because they were meant to end.   Yaden guum ho jati hai samay ke bhawaro mein Bhulate hai unnehe hum na chaa ke bhi kush hote hai ke ubhar aaye zaakam se bhool jaate hai khud ko bhi...

Planning to buy an iPod? But for some reasons not able to? You can download one on your desktop, and that too for free. All you have to do is download a iPod Nano Widget. Mac users know what I am talking about. Most properly known as gadgets in the outside (Windows) world. These really cool gadgets range from music players like iPod, with the actual look and feel, to useful utilities like day planner which displays your appointments from outlook calendar or yahoo calendar. Others like the week's temperature of your city to Yahoo search bar to yahoo mail checker are also available. My suggestion: iPod Nano and iTunes companion The best part is they are not much resource hungry and the look gives you a feel of the actual gadgets on your desktop. I say a must for the gadget freaks. You can find a lot other widgets from here .

There was a small child. He was happy playing around with what ever he had, contend, not asking for more. There were no dreams in his eyes, seeking the skies or wanting to be taken care of, being looked after. He used to spend days totally satisfied with what he had. One day he met a stranger. The stranger looked sad, there was a feeling of loneliness on its face. He could not understand what was wrong with the stranger. Never tried to ask. The stranger got acquainted with the child. The child decided to befriend the stranger. The stranger started filling the child's eyes with dreams. It gave the child a beautiful toy to play with. The child was more than happy to get the amazing toy and started playing with it. The child was totally obsessed with the toy and started to depend on it completely by spending all the time with it. He used to play with it, eat with it and even sleep with it. Then one fine day, the stranger took the toy away from the child. The child pleaded, begged and ...

 A continuation of Five point someone kind of story telling. Some times witty some times dark. Some flashbacks, some fanaticizes, some happy moments, some frustrations, some hope...

I never had been in a hostel before, so my perception of a hostel life after reading this novel has not changed much...its pretty much the same as I had observed in my collage hostel from out side. But this in fact has changed my perception about the IIT institute. First I used to think it was a place where there is no fun or excitement as all the students studying there are book worms. This perception of mine was changed to some extent when I was working for Veritas, Pune where I was surrounded by all IIT graduates. Well coming to the novel, its really funny at parts and is too filmy at parts. Like the incident where they go to steal the question paper and how they get caught after making a call from the HOD office, either there are some dum people at IIT too or IIT people are not good at anything other than mugging. The story of how Hari makes use of Neha sucks big time...and the heights is she comes back to him, even after all that he did to her. No self respecting person would do t...

There must be other ways of doing this but this is the first good one I found. The problem with iPod is that when you upload the songs from iTunes and say want to make a copy of the songs on your laptop, its difficult. The DRM concept of Apple comes to ruin the fun. There is a way to copy the songs from iPod to a computer or the other way around with out using iTunes. Its called YamiPod Click here to download

Just Stumbled upon... Check this Link... Just proves that you are not alone...:)

Would it not be very exacting to have the lyric of the song (spl English) being played directly downloaded from the net and display in sysc with the song? MiniLyrics does exactly the same. When you are listening to songs on your favorite player, the MiniLyrics downloads the lyrics of the song and displays in sync with the songs played. Its really cool and is hassle free. It has no ads or banners and moreover it works with most of the popular music players. It starts automatically with the player, supports skins of almost all media players so it blends with the player. Worth a try. You can download it from here... MiniLyrics

I am talking about the new Tata Indigo ad... For those who have not seen it ...it goes something like this... A set of four girls traveling in a Tata Indigo (which I prefer to call a truck...) see a hot hunk along the way and asks him... "Have you seen a hotty, who can be a naughty and who can rub some sun tan..." the guy cleverly asks them to try out the beach cafe. Then the background sounds goes ... "Dumb...Dumb..." What the hell do this media people think of the guys....according to me, what the guy does in the ad is perfectly cleaver. That is the way "flirty...and silly" girls like those should be treated/ignored. The "dumb dumb" tag must be on those four girls in that ad how think they can flirt around with any guy and get away with it...:D

There are two ways of leading our life. One way is to assume everything will be perfect and try to be what you want to be, be what you can be. The other way is to consider the worst case scenario and take maximum caution in not being adventurous. Make maximum effort in securing what you have and make sure things work out no matter what. Being cautious and not taking any risk will for sure make life secure and make sure you have a future, but you will loose out on all the good things you could have had and you could have lived life to the full. On the other hand assuming everything will be perfect may throw up some surprises once in a while and dampen your growth a bit, but you would have lived life to the full. After all you have but one life...

Original Link Quote: Instead of consuming of ill-gotten hemoglobin, these vampires suck the very life and energy out of people. By nature they feed on generous individuals who tend towards helping others, and leave their victims exhausted, bitter and dispirited. They're not evil creatures, Vampires. They act only on their blind instinct to feed, driven by base urges like most living things. Often even they themselves are not aware of their Vampire status, so leave your stakes at home. UnQuote:

Its a physic, offbeat kind of hilarious, suspense movie which is totally based on the acting talents of the best star cast in the industry. The best part is the dialogues which is what holds your interest till the end. The Camera work is very much inspired by the Matrix style of making, where the characters are lost in a flash back and are suddenly woken up into the real world. The direction at times is sloppy...the story telling tends to forget about other characters when concentrating on one. There are no "censors" on the inhibitions, be it in dialog or the story telling which brings the movie more close to reality, so be prepared to hear some not much heard dialogs and words on the screen. The story is about two couples, an old man, a cop and CYRUS. The character of Cyrus Mistry played by Saif Ali Khan enters the isolated lifes of Sethna couple, Dinshaw Senthna played by Naseeruddin Shah and Katy Sethna played by Dimple Kapadia. Katy tricks Cyrus into getting rid of her f...

The pace at which the things are changing for the newer generations is just amazing... Had been silently watching a bunch of collage going chaps and was trying to compare our times when we were in collage. Some parallels... We had internet provided in the collage which later spread to a couple of cyber cafes and then to our rooms at home. I remember once the next day's exams were postponed and we got the news from some hostilities in our chat rooms late in the night. We all decided to celebrate and decided to meet near the collage..everything decided over the chat...was considered the most hi-tech thing to do...In the present day...such messages are spread via SMSs...chat rooms are a thing of the past. We had queues in front of copiers for the notes just before the exams. Now soft copies of PDFs are exchanged over the emails, which are obviously mailed in yahoo groups. We all were thrilled when we started getting CDs along with "chip" and "PC quest" mags. The CD...

Today morning I woke up to a all new look and feel of yahoo mail. Looks sleek, fast and awesome. Gives a feel of Outlook express. First Glance - Impressive. The first thing that caught my attention was the RSS feed section in the left folder list bar. Still have to explore a lot. Google mail has given a run for money for others for sure. Not sure if this new yahoo mail is based on AJAX on which GMail is built. Over all a good change from the boring and over used old yahoo interface.

Miracles do happen and GOD has wearied ways to surprise us with those miracles. Today morning, do know how and why...I prayed for something impossible and I heard the news with in hours. Is what I was thinking for so long was not correct? I am confused.. But its better not to think about it now... Its a logical end and am happy for what ever has happened. Now, may GOD give peace to every one, every one I mean every one :)

Am I too good for love Or am I that bad Why am I in solitude so lonely and so sad. Relations are the weapons that stab me everywhere Steal the hope of happiness and put me in despair. Its so easy for some to love and then forget no concern for emotions their hearts are tough I bet. The only words of wisdom are those that clear the doubt Take the road less traveled To explore a different route.

It's been so long It seems more like a game What's going on here? A relation with no name We talk and chat Pull each other down Don't care for the feelings Pounce like a clown I am not up for this… Don't think it makes sense When there is a vacuum with nothing but offense. Each time we talk It reminds me of the past It doesn’t feel good and leaves me aghast. No wound that can heal No crack that can mend. After what we had I can't continue as a friend Don't call or write Don't bother me again We'll now be strangers With pleasure and no pain

An invitation to a dinner, to a Mongolian cuisine Thought I’ll try out, a place I had never been A small group of four, I knew none but one Still the aura was amiable, after the greetings were done We all were so different, with personalities so unique Still had so much in common, no lackluster and no geek With a delectable meal, fun blasts hurting the gums We exchanged our contacts, and acquaintances turned chums. A startling surprise, was a dessert treat Luscious frosty fudge, followed by a warm retreat A warm Sunday morning, we got together again A daylight-saving swap, caused mayhem - still sane Saw an aquarium in ruins, still enchanting at its best Last day before it closed, gloomy with final guests Time flew by, we became good pals Hung out often…..Dance, movies and malls We grew closer, and shared a thoughtful care From good to great…..rapport changed a gear A sudden twist of fate, I didn’t see it come His proposal for marriage….completely left me numb It wasn’t a game, he was t...

I don't care, I just wanna be yours I know I told you I'd Never love you the way that I did again After all that you did to me But I got to say I don't care, I just wanna be yours And I am trying everything in my power To never ever say Please come back to me But I got to say Promised me You'd always be You'd never let me go You took the ring and All the things that came with being my girl The tragedy as I walked through that door you had your feet up over the seat All I heard was screaming It was just like a movie Too real to be That just can't be my bride to be, no! I was shocked this could be never thinking one day I'd take This blow blow blow I was starting to feel like I should kill everything that was moving -- whoa Never been in hell like this Somebody wake me up I don't care, I just wanna be yours I know I told you I'd Never love you the way that I did again After all that you did to me But I got to say I don't care, I just wanna be yours...

The difference between the day last year and this day is the change in my perception about women. There are two kinds of women in the present day. One who know what is the difference between good and bad and the other who know what is the difference between bad and bad. There are some women who have achieved a lot and know how to make use of the power they have to make this world a better place. On the other hand there are women who are misusing the freedom and power to victimize the society for their selfish needs. In this rapidly developing, or should I say a nuclear society where individuals are getting more and more prominent than a family, where relations are shrinking in the durations and are dictated by needs, where people have learned to move on hopping from one environment to other in search of growth brutalizing the intimate bonds between individuals, where the rationales of living standards are rapidly changing, where the perception of what is correct and what is wrong are c...

a very nice and thought provoking verse i came across ... Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesnt matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running.

Five things that indicate that a girl has dumped you. 1) She lies to you about the obvious things, like the place she was on a evening and when you point out, she is not even sorry for that. 2) She does not respond to your compliments, phone calls as before. 3) She humiliates you on your face, in public, in fornt of her friends. 4) Holds you responsible for all the differences which were deliberately created by her. 5) She gets angry and defensive when you take her "friend"'s name, accusing you of spying on her and meddling with her personal life. Give it on her face and get out of that relationship, she is not worth your friendship.

Yesterday was my birthday. Over all a good day. Lots of my friends remembered to wish me in their busy sheadule. But from some whom I was expecting to remember totally forgot to mention. But had fun over all. Realized some things have changed, realized that distance matters, realized that the importance that you give to someone is purely your perception. Realized that some things change for ever. Realized that some remain only for courtesy sake and for others just the priorities are changed. Life does not always give you what you asked for. It surprises you with the ups and downs. It takes away every thing when you start enjoying what you have, then it starts giving you those happy moments in bits and pieces from unexpected ways...and life goes on... Zindigi ke safar mein guzar jate hai joo mukam... woh fir nahi aate, woh fir nahi aate...

Chain kaisa ... jo pehlu mein tu hi nahi maar daale na ... dard-e-judaai kahin rut haseen hai to kya ... chandani hai to kya chandni zulm hai ... aur judai sitam shaam-e-gham ki kasam ... aaj ghamgiin hain hum aa bhi ja ... aa bhi ja ... aaj mere sanam

Probably I was the first one who was told prior that I would be used and I allowed myself to be used. I guess for the first time, I failed to recognize a person's nature. Or Probably I had recognized but was very convincingly fooled into believing that it was not true. I always doubted and many a times asked, why is it that you never have a eye contact when we used to talk to each other...it was because you knew what you were doing was wrong and were guilty of it. Atleast at the time when I said I have couriored the papers, you had stopped talking to me, I should have understood at that time that you have used me and no more need me, I should have cautioned my self. "He had accused me of using him, (I am using you for my own benefit, but) promise me that you will not accuse me of the same..."

welcome to wonder la 

The Relationship that hurt you the most, one who broke your heart the most, the one that really betrayed you, never gets out of your head.

Sweet words are easy to say... Sweet things are easy to buy... But sweet people are difficult to find. Life ends when U stop dreaming, Hope ends when U stop believing, Love ends when U stop caring, Friendship ends when U stop sharing. To love without condition... To talk without intention... To give without reason...and To care without expectation... is the heart of a true friend.

Saw RDB for the second time, but with a different perspective. There is one more untold story in the movie. A story of revenge, a story of betrayal, a story of deceiving, a story of anihalition, a story of using own friends to achieve something impossible, a story of ruining the life's of the friends who are ready to do what ever you want, a story of making them believe something very different then what you intend to do. This story starts in the second half of the movie. The story has a couple in love. The character of Ajit played by R Madhavan dies in a jet plane crash. His love interest Sonia, played by Soha Ali Khan, believes that the defense minister is responsible for the death of her would be husband. She decides to take revenge against the minister by making use of her friends played by Amir Khan, Siddharth, Kunal Kapoor, Sharman Joshi and Atul Kulkarni. She makes them believe that the death of their friend is because of the defense minister. To make them perfectly insane...
