Teaching is fun

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

There are days when I would really contradict the title. But the fact remains I am just loving every bit of it.

I dont deny the fact that there are days when I feel I am done with this profession and get worried to look around for something new to keep me busy. Infact today began as one such day. But by the end of it all, I had a smile on my face and I guess that just said it all.

What frustrates me in this profession is its pace and what excites is the immediate response you get for your performance. You just simply know for yourself that you just had a great class. The spark in your kids ( yeah yeah… I refer to my students as kids now… feel so old :-P ) just gives that high that I got no words to explain that feeling. I can just simply sing …. :)

Mujhe aap kis liye mil gaye…

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

Mujhe dard-e-dil ka pata na tha
mujhe aap kisliye mil gaye
main akeli yun hi maze mein thi
mujhe aap kis liye mil gaye

Tanhaiyon mein mehek to thi,
Reh reh ke, ek ummeed ki,
udti hui, ek khwaab ki,
ambar ko chuu jaane ki
udne main chali thi is asmaan mein
mujhe aap kis liye mil gaye

Yun hi apne-apne safar mein gum
kahi door main, kahi door tum
chale jaa rahe the judaa-judaa
mujhe aap kis liye mil gaye

Amazing weather in Delhi

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

And it rained again. My way to enjoy the rain was by going on a drive. The sky was just too beautiful at the time of sunset. These pictures were taken right in the middle of moving traffic. I just parked my car on top of the flyover with passersby giving me the “you must be crazy” look.

Aaj rone ko bahut jee chah raha hai…

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Aye khuda aaj rone ko bahut jee chah raha hai
par kya kare kambakht yeh dil katra raha hai
waadon ko yaad kar, bediyon ki tarah
Mere jazbaaton ko thehra sa raha hai

Ek din tod paungi in bediyon ko
kabhi to uda dungi is dil ke panchi ko
Reh reh kar yeh keh kar
mere wajood ko kab se behla raha hai

Where there is a will…

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Things definately work out smoothly. Once you decide, it happens. You decide to stand by your will and stick to your ground. But what if you are a weak willed person? What if what you are trying to avoid is what you like the most? What if you are addicted to it?

What if the control that you are excercising on yourself is making you both strong as well as weak? Ever faced such a dual situation? Even when you know its for everyone’s good?

Is giving up on what you love the most as easy as it seems?

I doubt if I can ever give up on chocolates and coke in this life time :-P

I cant help it….

Monday, August 21st, 2006

Meri reputation hi kharaab hai.

Whether I commit the mistake or not… I am declared Guilty !

Great…

Brrrrrrrrrrrr

Monday, August 21st, 2006

Dont get confused like many others who read this as my chat status and did the mistake of asking me what it was. And I blessed a few with a live performance of this stupid sound that I love to make :)

And believe me they are still thanking their stars for getting the rare opportunity to listen to this miraculous sound that would definately help them gain Niravana some day or maybe sooner. :-P

But if you really wanna get disgusted… you have to listen to my Aaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaaa
It sure wins hands down and can easily force people to bang the phone on me. It definately works. Always does :lol:

Now thats what I call my version of the sound of music ;)

Jatinder singh ke bhalle…

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

Its after a long time that I have read something that has really touched me. I have always wished for having a flair of writing, of flirting with words and expressing what I want in the most sensible, sensitive and sleek manner which is comprehendable to “fellow earthlings”. Here is an excerpt from what I read about a friend’s experience.

Friends consider me ’stupid’ for even thinking in the manner that I do, especially when there is no headway on this route of romanticising it all. But frankly are you sure every road leads to heaven ? Since I am quite sure they dont, why not enjoy the road instead ? Whats the harm in feeling good about the beauty and warmth of a relationship while its still afresh ?

Feels so true…

Well… thats the best heading he could manage to suggest :-P

All my praise can be questioned now :lol:

Standing apart from crowd…. wont help

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

Standing apart from the crowd doesnt necessarily become a beneficial proposition. And I had a taste of it myself.

While my colleagues enjoyed, I did stuff to keep my students happy.

My loss…. staying awake a lil longer, doing overtime.
My gain… I dunno….I am not at all a true “mahajan”.

Maybe its high time I start looking for my gains than to bother about others. Atleast the examples around me show that it works well and keeps people happy.

So my advice to all you people… gel in the crowd and vanish away :)

Guys are not easy to understand?

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

In the words of one of my intelligent friends:

Girls are easy to understand, but when it comes to guys, bloody you can never know it for sure. They are the most difficult breed to understand.

Ouch !!
And I was told that we were the difficult lot :-p

She debated and won… maybe cos its true??
or maybe cos I was too sleepy to fight back :-)
