And it came to pass but did not stay

My favourite quote at times of stress is

This too shal pass

Nothings stays on forever. Happy times, bad times, sulking times, grieving times, not even hurt, stress or memories. Eventually, they all got to go.

Anyone at all

I remember having heard this song last year in September and had felt it to be so true for me. Its been 8-9 months now and it still feels the same. Still makes me smile…

Funny how I feel more myself with you
Than anybody else that I ever knew
I hear it in your voice, see it in your face
You’ve become the memory I can’t erase

You could have been anyone at all
A stranger falling out of blue
I’m so glad it was you

Wasn’t in the plan not that I could see
Suddenly a miracle came to me
Safe within your arms I can say what’s true
Nothing in the world I would keep from you

Mind your tongue

How often does it happen to you that you regret what you have uttered? I am sure its not that often, but in my case, its more often than not.

I am a very outspoken person. Who just speaks what comes to the mind, as and when it comes. Trust me to have said the most awful things to the people I have cared the most about. And I have the whole lifetime to regret about it.

The reason I write this today is that I am so full of regret of having said what I did and this post is an acceptance of my mistake. It is the remorse of not having kept a tab on what I speak, how I speak and to whom I speak. My words have hurt people at places where they were vulnerable. And there is no going back. No undoing the past. No taking my words back, no matter how many times I say “I didnt mean that”.

I am sorry!

Hello!! I have grown up

The last time I checked I was 25 but still need to be bullied into studying.

My mom still needs to ask me when will I start studying especially when I am busy and totally engrossed watching ‘You’ve got mail’.

My sister still bugs me and scares the hell out of me counting the number of days left for the exam.

My dad would in his subtle way just ask have I got the admit card and datesheet when he sees me strolling around aimlessly.

I thought only school kids need cajoling and pushing for studying and not people who are in their mid twenties. Arent they old enough to know what they are supposed to be doing? Maybe not.

I know only 13 days are left and I am lazing around and watching a movie. Cmon guys I have grown up… I think I know when to press the panic button. And when I do, you will see it all over my face :D

When tears are lost under the rain

I love it when it rains. The evening saw the sudden outburst of blessing from the rain godess. And as normal people would run home, my family decides to go out. That too to have Golgappas.

I love rains. Did I mention that earlier. Oh I love them. So, you tell me anything to do, and I will do it happily as long as I get to see rainfall or be in the rain.

As expected we got a little drenched in rain. While my dad and mom rushed in, I walked. I love rains. You are free to call that a height of repitition, and I cant help but admit to the same. And hey for those who are beginning to wonder, let me declare I am NOT DRUNK! I simply love rains. Simple!

Indian Idol 3 Auditions

Ohk, so before we could get over Abhijeet sawant, Rahul vaidya, Prajakta Shukre, Rex Fernandes, (The one and only) Kazi Tauqeer and whole buckets full of them, Indian Indol 3 is here.

And so is their panel of judges, 3 fresh faces ( Alisha Chinoi, Javed Akhtar and Udit Narayan) and the one and only snooty, arrogant and stupid Anu Malik. Somebody pinch me, wasnt Alisha the one who some years (read decades) back had complained against Anu Malik on the grounds of casting couch?? And here she is giggling away to glory trying to impersonate Javed Akhtar’s hindi sitting right next to Anu Malik? Just a perfect example of kiss and forget. Er…I mean forgive and forget.

Anu Malik, my favourite for criticism. He of all the people is sitting there telling people that they dont have it in them to sing. Hello!! Did someone tell him that he has great singing talent??? I doubt anyone did. But still he did sing and made us all reach nirvana by listening to his oh-so-melodious songs and the aftermath is that my ears are still ringing. So, he telling people they dont have “THAT” thing in their voice, well I dont have words to explain what it is.

Internet here I come…

I have read such amazing and gripping stuff at other blogs that I feel almost compelled to write some here. I have almost made up my mind to write a post a day on any nonsense I can think of only to exhibit the same insane behaviour as can be noticed and appreciated on other blogs :lol:

Hold on people, now I shall unleash my hidden talent of boring people beyond belief online :-P

Beware, the mission starts right now !

Cheeni kam: Another Nishabd in making?

Saw the trailers of Cheeni kam starring Amitabh Bachchan, Tabu and Paresh Rawal. From what I saw, it appears to be yet another older (read very old) guy and young woman’s love story. Paresh Rawal plays Tabu’s father and is shocked in the loo where Amitabh seems to have the cheeks to ask for his daughters hand for marriage!!

Tabu looked fresh as ever and I am sure would give a lot of maturity to the role. I guess it will be a story far mature and better than Nishabd. The trailer had hints of humour (title track) and with Paresh rawal in it, there can be a good comedy in store for us. But then, thats for us to wait and watch.

Surender Sharma: the comedy king??

I dont know if you people remember Surender Sharma, the stand-up comedian, But I met and heard him live today. I dunno if he has grown old or our taste of humour has changed, but he wasnt THAT great as I remember he used to be.

Though he looked the same and most of his jokes were aimed at the ‘better-halves’, the spark that used to be there was missing.

Another thing that wasnt as great as I thought it to be when it turned into a reality.
