helloz every1!!
I'm back again. i just wrote a poem today, actually, just now. So here it is.

TIME TO LEAVE

Its been a while, now.
I’ve waited long enough.
I just wish I wouldn’t care,
But that’s the hardest part, after all.

Whenever I looked around,
I felt an aura of austerity.
I wish it would’ve been simpler
And yet provided the same amount of joy.

It’s been a while, now.
I’ve waited long enough.

I wish that only, for a while,
The law of joy would’ve been disobeyed.
I do not wish of all joy,
But as much as would gratify me.

It’s been a while, now.
I’ve waited long enough.
And just maybe, it’s time now.
I know I need to leave.
Yes, I need to leave.


Any other appropriate title u can think of???
I've written a poem after, a month, say. So, do tell me what u feel about it.
bye 4 now.

Slow Dance

Tonight, I’d gone out with my parents, for dinner. And we were discussing the weird stuff I’ve done as a child. It’s embarrassing but I think, quite amusing, too. Besides, I’ve started to like laughing on myself. I think it’s more pleasing than laughing at someone else. Anyhow, I have no intensions, whatsoever, of disclosing the ‘weird stuff’.

I have no idea who are the people taking part in the recitation competition and am certainly sure of the fact that I stand very less or maybe no chance of getting a position in the top order. You may call me cynical but that’s the truth and there is no denying that. The only person, in my knowledge, who is taking part in this competition, is Akshara of my own section and of course she’s a better speaker. Though, we both got a 12.5/15 in the recitation thingy. And I am reciting ‘one voice’ by Billy Gilman in form of a poem and as most of you know, it’s supposed to be a song. While looking for poems, Shubhi gave me this very nice poem written by a terminally ill girl, which I initially wanted to recite but anyways. I am however posting that poem for everybody to read.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry go round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading light.
You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is too short.
The music won’t last.

Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask,” how are you?”
Do you get the reply?
When the day is done,
Do you lie in your bed,
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is too short.
The music won’t last.

Ever told a child,
We’ll do it tomorrowand in your haste not seen his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
to call and say “hi”
You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is too short.
The music won’t last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day
It is like an unopened gift…
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower.
Listen to the music before it is over.

Clash of the titans

Marat Safin will definetly win!!!!! Posted by Hello

The day of reckoning has arrived yet. Today we prepare for the big clash. Safin vs hewitt. And I am all for Safin.. when the federer match was goin on i supported federer completely and when the roddick match was goin on i supported roddick. But between Safin and Hewitt I am all for Safin....Why some may ask, is it because Hewitt is a big old toad or because Safin is compltely hot. Or maybe because Hewitt is australian (i think they r wierd) or coz Safin is an amzin player........I think all these reasons... Till now the Aussi open has been fantastic with remarkable feats.....and heaps of excitement. In the womens final i thought it was kinda borin...i mean davenport vs serena it was blatantly obvious who was gnna win.. though i like davenport ovr serena.....This whole Sania hype is kinda gettin on my nerves.....shes a gud player but is kinda blown ovr proportin by da media....Neways....the final is at 2 pm indian standard time..n im sure all of us will be watchin

child marriage

hey every1.....
today i have somethin really imp to talk bout…. a maid who comes to clean my house has a 15 year old daughter who was supposed to give her boards this year. today my mother told me that my maid was geting her daughter married off.. a 15 year old gurl married off? shocking? my mom was so disappointed......when i asked the maid why she was doing so she told me that offers like those come very rarely n even though her daughter wudnt study further she wud be happy...i was flabergasted...they were not going to let her study......wat bout the dowry? theyw ere going to pay the boys family 25000.....we talk bout malls n metros....promotin tourism.....y cant we tlk bout improvin conditions at grassroot level....this child marriage issue comes from illiteracy...an illiterate parent will not let her child be literate......... I would like everyone to think for a second of this a 15 year old girl today is not being allowed to study is being made to go to some tiny village and serve her husband who is 4 years elder for the rest of her life……….the mind sets of people in villages is marriage is the perfect fulfillment in a girls life. ….this all due to illiteracy…

Republic day

Heyloz ppl
HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY !!!
Today im going to tell evryone why im proud to be an indian. except 4 da fact tht it means belongin to a nation like india. Here are some facts that im sure half of us dunt or didnt no bout india.

01. India never invaded any country in her last 1000 years of history.
02. India invented the Number system. Aryabhatta invented ‘zero.’
03. The world’s first University was established in Takshila in 700BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century BC was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education.
04. According to the Forbes magazine, Sanskrit is the most suitable language for computer software.
05. Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to humans.
06. Although western media portray modern images of India as poverty striken and underdeveloped through political corruption, India was once the richest empire on earth.
07. The art of navigation was born in the river Sindh 5000 years ago. The very word “Navigation” is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH.
08. The value of pi was first calculated by Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is now known as the Pythagorean Theorem. British scholars have last year (1999) officially published that Budhayan’s works dates to the 6th Century, which is long before the European mathematicians.
09. Algebra, trigonometry and calculus came from India. Quadratic equations were by Sridharacharya in the 11th Century; the largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans used were 106 whereas Indians used numbers as big as 1053.
10. According to the Gemmological Institute of America, up until 1896, India was the only source of diamonds to the world.
11. USA based IEEE has proved what has been a century-old suspicion amongst academics that the pioneer of wireless communication was Professor Jagdeesh Bose and not Marconi.
12. The earliest reservoir and dam for irrigation was built in Saurashtra.
13. Chess was invented in India.
14. Sushruta is the father of surgery. 2600 years ago he and health scientists of his time conducted surgeries like cesareans, cataract, fractures and urinary stones. Usage of anaesthesia was well known in ancient India.
15. When many cultures in the world were only nomadic forest dwellers over 5000 years ago, Indians established Harappan culture in Sindhu Valley (Indus Valley Civilisation).
16. The place value system, the decimal system was developed in India in 100 BC.

Quotes about India

"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made."Albert Einstein
"India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grand mother of tradition."Mark Twain
"If there is one place on the face of earth where all dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India."French scholar Romain Rolland
"India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border."Hu Shih (Former Chinese ambassador to USA)
For all those people who think that the difference between india and another country for instance USa is tht india is poor n under developed while the latter is rich and advanced. I am going to inform you that 56 years from our independence we r developing and advacing still clutched on to our culture while 56 years from USA's independance they were fighting civil wars and killing each other. And that people is the real difference.

Sometimes....

There is a lot missing from each one’s life but definitely, it’s not impossible to live without all those things. Just the measure, at different periods of time, is probably different. ‘It’ might be materialistic to some and non-materialistic to others. What we fail to realize is that, all those people better off than us don’t have what we would never ever, in return of anything, would let go of. What truly fits in our life is the saying, ‘to gain something, one has to loose something.’
We all know, yet try to pretend we don’t, that nobody’s life is immaculate and we just can’t get the best of everything or rather cannot live parts of peoples’ lives.
However, this doesn’t mean that we should let go of our conviction which a lot of people lack (and I definitely do, alright maybe do) or even, for that matter stop working towards our desire of achieving the best in all spheres. What it means is that, if we do not achieve it, we should not give up faith, which in my short dictionary is the most powerful thing.

Whenever I think of the tsunami hit areas and the affected people, I kind of drain out and don’t ask me what I mean by that. What would they do with their lives? Will they ever be able to get over this? Will they ever be able to restore their faith in nature? Will they emerge out as victims or survivors? These and many more questions seem to haunt me at the moment. We all are donating something on the other for them but I wish I could do more. The money might be mine but I’m not earning it and therefore it’s easy for me to ask my parents for it and feel better. But, how do I make a difference by donating the money? I don’t see what the govt. is doing to speed up the process of recovery. I, however, can only pray and put all my faith, which most of us are doing, into the incompetent or let’s see, since we’re trusting it so for a change I would like to have a positive outlook and say competent govt. of the ‘great’ India without any foreign aid (of which I’m going to talk).

My initial reaction to India refusing foreign aid was of anguish and anger. I had started to wonder why ‘India wants to show to the world, its greatness at the cost of the health, emotions and lives of its people.’ But that was of course, because of lack of knowledge, behind this move, which now has come in.
India is capable of handling its own disasters, and competently (yes!! positive outlook) so. For those thinking India’s disaster management mechanism to be ineffective and sluggish (maybe u’re right but that’s not the ideal outlook), the foreign secretary, at a press briefing, made it quite clear that India has been prepared, right from the beginning to recover from such disaster and at the same time, help its neighbors as well. Though, we’ll have to wait n see for the depth in this statement.
India's aggressive tsunami diplomacy has puzzled major world capitals, but so be it. Now is the right time for India to develop its stand and take a step closer towards a permanent seat in the Security Council.
Is that the main aim, however?
Am I not one confuse human???
But what hell??!!

School

Hello folks
Me bck
How can any1 miss vinci for goodness sake. The wrld is going to dogs. The new hm hasn’t even done anything to us………..yet. special emphasis on myself. I get in2 lot of trble with teachers these days. Whatever. Who she doesn’t no shouldn’t bother her. Hip hip hurray !!!!!!! r school’s gone nuts. Why the hell r they hyping the exams so much ? we will still live if we don’t do well. I hope my entry is good enough for anonymous. My last entry –forgiving was 100% authentic.Vinci is as Priya would put it-A PROPER TERROR. I totally agree with her. French classes are a torture these days. WE are SIIIIIIICCCCCCKKKKKKKK of seeing her stony face. English class is a bit better than a joke. She obviously knows herself quite well which is why she hasn’t complained till now. Had it been someone else, rest assured we would’ve been still serving punishment and looking about for being paroled but of course it is not someone else but the good old who it is and so the entire situation is hypothetical. No what I mean?
Maths class is like it has always been-stagnant. Somehow the phy class is not that bad. I was talking to Shraddha and she said that the phy teacher seems to be teaching herself. i agree with her. She is an angel in disguise cos this way we get to apply our own brains too. She gives the facts and writes in Hebrew on the board. So we have to figure out the rest ourselves. It doesn’t take rocket sc or a degree in complex cryptology to figure out the stuff. Chem class is comparable to the phy class. Somehow we’re always running short on time with chem and so we r always in a hurry which doesn’t help our cause but doesn’t harm it either. it only makes it interesting and also the fact that chem is predictable helps. That is not to say that there is no scope in the subject. But phy still rules plus or minus the teachers. Bio is not bad either. In general that is-not the kheti badi we r doing these days. We r not going to be hailed as farmers when we grow up. They no that we MUG up the stupid jargon for EXAMS and trash the trash after handing out ans sheets so why do the bother? REVENGE I say. They suffered. They learnt it. SO WHAT. This doesn’t mean that we should be put thru the ordeal. Otherwise bio is not bad. Sst is a pain but my mum says that I am going to like eco. I would like to believe her. The computer teacher’s voice is like a bed-time rhyme. It is something that plays in the background when in the comp lab and merges into oblivion otherwise only to resurface on the Sunday be4 the com montest. School can no longer b called a reprieve what with the restrictions and compulsions after you know what happened but it is not our fault. We r GOOD PEOPLE. Do not laugh. I mean it. Swear it on u. GOTCHA!!!!!!!!!! English test on Monday. I no that u no but I also no that u had forgotten. Do not forget to read the chapters. THANKYOU to me. I drew Sushma Swaraj’s A4 sized cartoon with the highlights and all but every1 thinks that it is Jailalita. Atleast they think that it is human !!!!!!!!!!!! Thankyou my lord. Thankyou for the salvation of my soul. I can grow up to be a cartoonist without worrying to much. Jealous ???????????? should be. Serves u right. How many of u can actually draw something even remotely human? HUH? TIME
As time passes, shadows are not left behind,
Wish they could stop and remain as forever.
As nostalgia incurs memories, a nebulous cavity haunts the mind,
What goes on is only time.
As battles are won and the vanquished injured,
What can mend the wounds in its course is only time.
As illusions fade away into oblivion,
What lies in store is a new day.
As dreams become reality,
What is preserved is that moment captured into a ceaseless eternity.
As the sun sets making way for the night,
What is awaited is the gleams of dawn.
As life ends and love dies,
The pendulum doesn’t stop swinging both ways.
As the sound of silence calls upon me,
I know that it is time.

There’s more but on a lighter note.
NORMAL
1.There’s a certain hypocrisy about your life. You hate to be rude yet you will give unasked advice on etiquette. You like gentle doves of peace which symbolize peace. You’ll go around patching up quarrels but you always seem to enjoy a good argument even on seemingly undebatable topics. You’re good natured and pleasant but you can also be fussy, prissy and dogmatic. You’re restless but seldom in hurry. To sum it up, there’s a frustrating volatility to your life which leaves everyone (including yourself) confused.
2.You are turned on by people who recite Harry Potter fan fiction day in and day out. Your favourite colour is neither the fiery red nor the pesky yellow but the commonplace blue. You probably like pop music and your favourite singer is Enrique (you can run, you can hide but you can’t escape my love ………).
3.In the first point I said that you’re restless but seldom in hurry. I will reiterate this fact by bringing your fetish for working only during dire emergencies (i.e. a week before the final exams).
4.You have an inclination towards the mystic and the occult but this doesn’t mean that you spend every waking minute crystal gazing or that you have painted your nails black. What I am trying to say is that you’ve probably read all the Cheiros and Linda Goodmans. You are still charmed by something in the genre of sleeping beauty and Santa Claus but are afraid to proclaim it for the fear of being called childish.
5.Your favourite word is discrimination. You have the power. You have the potential. You have the vision. (Cautionary note: I am not running for the position of the class representative). But you are human and so you tend to misuse your power. You don’t care which side you take in an argument as long as it is the opposite side. Sometimes you tend to change sides in the middle if you are getting bored.
Note: I personally think that enrique has a vagina. I am also not crazy bout HP now. I will read the next book but not dying with anticipation. No wht I mean?
NERD
6. You are either worshipped or embittered. There is no bridge between the two and you find yourself being the king/queen of extremism.
7. You give the teachers a run for their money. You sometimes end up asking questions which do not make any sense to you but leave the teachers confused for obviously fathomable reasons.
8. You do not attend the winter carnival and the class picnic because you must put in extra effort in order to understand the superposition of secondary colours.
9. Your lifestyle does not undergo changes after you conjure up mischief because you can never be framed as an outlaw. Who will suspect that nerd who knows ‘My experiments with truth’ by heart for quoting in the English exam.
10. Your favourite day is Monday for more reasons than one. First and foremost is your weekly rendezvous with the Monday test and that too first thing in the morning. Talk about pure delectation. Secondly, what was the point of mugging up advanced thermodynamics during the weekend when normal people were watching cricket or shopping at the mall, if you can’t spit it out in front of your counterpart in order to put him to his place ? HUH ? Last but not the least is your reunion with the answer script of the Monday test given last week or the week before written in perfectly legible or illegible handwriting with lines drawn after each and every answer in the hope of getting 51 on 50, in hope of achieving perfect fulfillment (in you eyes that is) and in hope of surpassing perfection.

Howwazat ?
This is divinity saying sayonara. Be naughty.
Aarushi

overrated dumb issues

OK People…give me a break. C’mon, I mean why does the British press have to make such a big issue of the whole nazi costume of prince Harry. Now, not that it concerns me but still…it’s high time everybody leaves him alone. When the theme was ‘natives and colonials’, what difference does it make if he even wore the nazi uniform? I mean, though these western people callus, Indians, narrow-minded but I think they need to look at themselves, first. I am sure he wasn’t trying to glorify Hitler.
Sometimes, there comes a desperate need to give it a break and I think now is the right time. There have been too many controversies. I don’t get it why these people are treating the poor guy bestially.
anyways, there are big rumors tht JSTS is cancelled. i mean after all the hard work of 1 year and the time waste, we dont deserve this but such are ways of life!

I will do anything to pass

A student comes to a young professor's office hours.

She glances down the hall, closes his door, kneels pleadingly."I would do anything to pass this
exam."

She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes. "I mean..." she whispers, "...I would do...anything."

He returns her gaze. "Anything?"

"Anything." His voice softens.

"Anything??"

"Absolutely anything."

His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you...study?"

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

Don’t tell me u don’t agree with me, on this. Today was so much fun. And if you are in my class, then u exactly know why. But anyways, since I am writing (maybe, for the heck of writing), I am going to bore all of you. Well, to begin with, the first period was physics (I know a bad start) and our dear principal made an announcement, summoning all the teachers to the AVH. Besides, our physics teacher told us she wouldn’t be coming for the next 3 classes!!! The 2nd period was English (which is, by default, free) but again the teachers were having a meeting. the third and the fourth periods were computer lab and we were told not to leave the class, so u can imagine. However, it’s another story that my class almost got into trouble. During all this time, we were playing dumb charades and of course my team won. Then we had the break. Blah…blah…blah.
I got my English project back and I got 9/10. Isn’t that cool? I just hope to get a good score in the civics project, too. Anyways, the English project has been transferred to my brother in 11th. Let’s see how much he gets.
The day was so cool.
I am putting one of Billy Gilman’s songs. Not many know him. I heard him for the first time on the Oprah show. He’s really good. He’s about my age i.e. 14-15. Anyways, I don’t think his songs have been introduced in India (actually, I’m quite sure), so u can download them.
ONE VOICE

Some kids have and some kids don't
And some of us are wondering why.
And Mom won't watch the news at night
There's too much stuff that's making her cry.
We need some help
Down here on earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard.
A house, a yard, a neighborhood
Where you can ride your new bike to school.
A kinda world where mom and dad
Still believe the golden rule
Life's not that simple
Down here on earth.
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard.
One voice, one simple word
Hearts know what to say.
One dream can change the world
Keep believing till you find your way.
Yesterday while walking home
I saw some kid on Newbury Road
He pulled a pistol from his bag
And tossed it in the river below.
Thanks for the help
Down here on Earth.
A thousand prayers, a million words
But one voice was heard
One voice was heard.
One voice was heard

PS: isn’t the song cool?

irony

Sometimes I just get frustrated with these bloody western countries. They feel they are free to do whatever they want. In the name of peace and civilization they create destruction. Why is war so significant to them? I am not here to serenade ‘I hate USA’.
But I just felt like pointing out the irony of life. It is often seen and heard about, the conflicts between Jews and Christians. Christians feel that jews are disrupting their faith and want to stay as far away from them as they can. Do they forget that their own god holy Jesus is a Jew. In that manner shouldn’t Jews be more sacred? More holy? Then you have a small island almost taking over the world with the excuse of white man burden. They operate the peace keeping treaties and lend helping hands to “under developed nations” nations that owe their being to them. Nations who are now in such horrendous states so that this island could be what it is now. This island state talks of spreading peace, love, goodwill after destroying it for them. They don’t for a second realize that maybe these under developed countries had a chance, a possibility to be where they are now if they hadn’t been destroyed and colonized. Has this island state ever thanked these under developed countries for all its wealth, all the loots which they took away which now rest in the queens palace. Who is the bloody queen? Some old tradition whose grand-children wear nazi uniforms to parties? Some tradition. as I said I am not here to serenade ‘I hate Britain’ but I just felt like pointing out the irony of life. Life itself.

I don't know!!!!

Though Vinita Sehgal’s gone but the new headmistress (HM) is hopeless. It’s quite weird and hard to believe that she’s supposed to be the H.O.D of the English department!!
I have to say; I’ve started missing Vinci, right away. Mon dieu !! What has the world come to?
I know, I should have better things to talk about. To begin on a happy note, my PROJECT is done and complete. Gentlemen and ladies and bald-headed babies, it is on its way out of the printer. I’m so-so happy.
Also, shubhi has added the message box on the right hand side. I’m thinking of putting some adds, too. What say? I’m not too happy with the visitor figures. But, it’s actually our mistake as we haven’t told many people about it and not many know French to remember the blog’s name. The blog’s name however is not to be changed (at least, in the near future). I have, therefore come up with a technique to speedy learning. Here it goes:

the year ahead or wotever!!

I don’t know, but I have a strong feeling that this year is not going to be easy. And it’s the last thing I want, but again, in a way I have always looked forward to it.
I was trying to figure out the good things and the things I think would be bad would ensue in this year.
My respected principal and the concerned school authorities or whatever has come up with the weirdest and the ‘I- don’t- have- words- to- describe’ exam schedule. The exams start in the second week of February and end on the 9th of March. The study leaves are only 4 and the tenthies & twelvethies get 15 holidays less than the rest of the school. What hell??? Why does this always happen to me?
The CBSE, certainly, has plans of introducing a lot of things in this session of tenth standard and what I don’t get is that why do I have to always be caught and be experimented upon (alright, its about all the 1990 or 1989 or 1991 born people who have to go through this but they not all of them were in my previous school, St. Thomas’, where with each passing year they used to end the exams of my previous class).
Now, to be very honest, I don’t mind CBSE introducing the concept of making lots of projects but again, the syllabus remains the same and I would really like the concerned people responsible for all the hoaxed changes to know that making projects is a very interesting task but very, and I mean VERY, time consuming too. I think, practical exams, though create an aura of panic (for normal people, mark my words), are great. I also got to know that these teachers, which come for taking the practicals, are VERY scary. The good part, though not very comforting, is that:

  1. The boards will not be held this year.
  2. I will, FINALLY, get my blue coat.
  3. 12th august 2005 will bring me my 15th birthday.
  4. Can’t think of anything else. Can you?
    I’ve just got over with the history test and my English project. Come to talk of history, I can surely say that I love it but not to the extent of learning the damn long answers (curse them!).

    As you can see, I haven’t talked about the Asia XI vs. the World XI cricket match. The reason, pretty obvious, is that Asia XI lost by 112 RUNS!!!
    Such is weird life!!

great blog i found

hey guys
finally the hist test is over....so gruelling....and now we have school...hate getting up in the morning man...i mean 6:30 is 2 early...its the only reason i hate skool...
recently i saw this really cool blog...written by this american journalist.....
Weapons of Mass Destruction? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Weapons of Mass Destruction!


growing majority of Americans believe the war in Iraq is justified even if the United States does not find weapons of mass destruction. At the same time, public optimism about the progress of the fighting has surged as recent gains on the battlefield have eased fears that the allies will become bogged down in a long and costly war, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll . . .

More than two-thirds of those interviewed -- 69 percent -- said that going to war with Iraq was the right thing to do even if the United States fails to turn up biological or chemical weapons, up from 53 percent in a survey taken the day after the war started.

So what we have here is the self-justifying war. As long as the operation is "successful" -- or at least, can plausibly be portrayed as "successful" -- the American people will support it, even if the original basis for going to war proves to be . . . inoperative.

I know, I know: Duh. Americans support military success. That's been the "heart" (if that's the right organ) of the Powell Doctrine for what, going on 20 years now?
But it's the other part that intrigues me. Does it mean that in the post-9/11 environment, any claim, no matter how exaggerated, can be used to sell an aggressive war to the American public -- and discarded just as easily after the U.S. military juggernaut has done its thing?
I mean, we're already hearing about the Iranian nuclear "threat." What's next, the Syrian food poisoning "threat"? The Libyan letter bomb "threat"? The French Jerry Lewis "threat"?

The debate over Iraq's WMD capabilities -- and the risks it might pose for the United States -- was a legitimate debate, even if the Bush administration was reduced to using forged documents sold by con men from Niger to make its case. But if it turns out the American people don't think the debate ever really mattered in the first place . . .
Given that we appear to be a nation of sheep led by some very cunning wolves, that's a scary thought.

i thot it was pretty well sed.....

In the fond memory of my Grandfather

The rain poured down for a while
And then abated.
As time passed by,
Changes did their job.
Life went on.
People came and eventually, faded into eternity.
Everyday, somebody mourned
For the ones gone, for their loss.
But life went on.

It’s how the world functions. Like time, life doesn’t wait. Very few get a second chance. Over the years, each one of us has to come to terms with it.

Today, the 6th of January is a day, which meant nothing more than just another day, to me till, of course, 4 years back when I lost my grandfather- a significant part of my childhood.

It was a Saturday morning, I remember. My grandfather, who had been suffering from numerous diseases (one of them being diabetes and the other one being memory loss since 2-3 years), had been admitted into a hospital and his condition, as told, was stable. The previous night, my father had stayed in the hospital. Early morning, at six, my tayaji (my father’s elder brother), my mother and I went to the hospital. The plan was to check on my grandfather and pick my father from the hospital. I was quite eager to go and see him. But I wasn’t allowed in the room (the reason given was that I was a child and thus, sensitive to the viruses and bacteria).
Anyhow, I waited in the lobby of the hospital or whatever you call it. After some time, my mother appeared and I don’t know what she said but from what I understood was that papaji’s (I used to call my grandpa) condition was serious and I thought he would be all right. But for some queer reason, I burst into tear.
I remember my mother talking on her mobile to my bua (my father’s sister) in Bombay. Then my other tayaji came with my grandmother. I was completely unable to understand why all the people were gathering in the hospital. It never crossed my mind that papaji could be dead (I mean really, what was I thinking while most of the people were crying- maybe that people related to me are immortal). My grandmother, my father, my mother, my other bua and I were then driven home. My cousin came to me, after sometime and asked if papaji was really dead and I just kept looking at her. That moment, hell broke loose on me. I had never experienced loosing anybody I loved so much.
On asking, I was told he died of heart attack.
When he was being taken away to the cremation ground, I remember crying so bad that my cousins, had to literally drag me into the room where I had told them not to cry, few moments ago.

We had a hawan in the fond remembrance of him, in the morning.
The most painful part is that the last years of his life were very difficult for him. Why was God so unhappy with him? Even when he stood up, he fractured his legs. He had no clue as to who we were.
Some say that it’s a lot better to die than living a life like that. I say, maybe. I really don’t know and probably, never will.
Sorry for being so senti.
can't help it, can I?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Well, I finally saw swades today and my mum has been, ever since, belligerently complaining of headache and blaming me for taking her (dragging her, in her terms) to see it. She definitely doesn’t like the movie and how was I to know that she can’t stand a documentary- like- movie of 3.5 hrs.
Honestly, even after everybody telling me not to see the movie, I saw it and I don’t regret a bit. I think the movie was quite good. Of course, not as good as Lagaan but who cares? I would actually suggest everybody to go see the movie. I think SRK has given one of his best performances in this movie. I don’t think the actress, Gayatri Joshi, did complete justice to her role but she is very pretty. And, besides it’s her first movie, so, probably she can be excused.
I’m too lazy to write the movie’s summary, which is available all over.

One of my friends, Prerna, from my previous school, St. Thomas’, called today. We talked for quite a while after which I had to put down the phone cause I was getting late for the 11:30 show of swades. The moment I heard her voice, I was overwhelmed with joy and after talking to her, my ebullient spirits gave way to nostalgia. Incidents and moments, I thought never had registered in my mind were actually always there, somewhere in a small corner of my mind.

It was, I guess, when I was around 9 years old i.e. in class 4 or 5. Prerna, Tanya and I had become very good friends and I remember this particular summer day, during our break or recess (some people like to call), we promised each other to remain as good friends (in those days, we used to call it ‘best friends’) as we were then, for the rest of our lives. In the following year, Tanya left the school and then, in 6th, I did. It’s been a long time since, over 3 yrs. We, however, lost contact with Tanya as she shifted her house or some reason like that. As far as Prerna is concerned, we still talk and I believe, are friends.

I don’t remember much of Tanya and as far as describing Prerna is concerned, in my opinion, she is the sweetest person I’ve come across. She’s the kind of person, who’ll always be there for her friends, no matter what it takes.
After talking to her, I started thinking about the rest of my friends in St. Thomas’. One of them being Jada, who is now in Australia. I am still in contact with her through e-mail. She is a wonderful person. The last time I talked to her, was in the month of September, last year, I guess when she was here, in India. She had developed a complete accent. For a moment, I thought, she had forgotten Hindi. She is, well, all that patriotic- Indian-types. I remember, her writing to me on the Independence Day that she had gone to this particular place where all the Indians had gathered to celebrate the Independence Day. She was so excited about the whole thing. And once she told me that she was going to get some Hindi classes (the same Hindi which my friends and I have left for French, in school!!!).
