Today he was all dressed up to meet Dana, the charming young lady whose short golden tresses barely covered her face;her mesmerizing smile..and those cute dimples that formed as she smiled in her  profile pictures were enough to make him fall for her. They had been chatting for a couple of weeks but he felt as though it was ages that he had known her.Yes she was the one... "may be we should take it to the nextlevel...maybe we should meet " he typed. she fell silent for a moment then typed... "may be u need to know something else before we meet..it's the sole  reason why I haven't been on a single date yet.." Is it?Whatever be it...tell me when we meet.Our first of many dates to come :) *she sighed* and  agreed to meet.. "John?",the sweet voice behind him made him realize that he had been staring at a grumpy old man for the past few minutes,dreaming of her Turning back.He stood up to greet her..there was no one... Wait didn't I just hea...

It was once again that I trotted onto that very path...whose memory often left me aghast. What do I do..? Now where do I turn..? How do I cross the point of no return..? Thousands of questions arose within me, there was a lot of doubt. Can I succeed this time? Or will it be my path out? Out of my dreams, out of my ambitions, out into a vast world where people live other's aspirations? Then again I gave it a thought ,I had a chance to do it again. Many people vie for it but all in vain. Now that I had it why shan't I use it again? A second chance, to convert my past loss into gain?. I knew what was lost wouldn't return, that fire which burned will continue to burn. But then again I got a turn, not to undo what has been done, but to do whatever that can be done. Having decided what to do, went forward to walk it through ,have been walking on it since then, knowing there's little pleasure and lot of pain. But now I know what I...

   "I want to be like "Tom Cruise",exclaimed someone in the audience. "And I like Ronaldo!" ,exclaimed another... I sighed and switched off the TV.I was watching some discussion where people were being asked ,"If you were reborn,who would you like to be?" "Are you thinking what's the point of such discussion?!",you must be thinking I am being hypercritical...right?? Well ,there are times when some situations have a subliminal influence,influences which we often fail to realize.... and what I realized is, today everyone wants to be like some one else... originality,these days, is a  rare  commodity. Just think of the people around you,be it any field,a career path, in looks, self portrayal ,etc..You will notice different people all running after the same thing!!Irrespective of their individual capacity!!.. Strange isn't it!. We all have different genetic makeup,different abilities..but all run aft...

Once I asked... "Oh Lord tell me....Why does it happen only with me that the hard ways of life accompany me?".. On every path that  I went, wasn't straight but bent, Every U turn I took with care, left me with little hope...with greater despair.. A journey which did ,never end,nor  was it ever smoother at the other end... Often I wonder ..am I heading the right way?..where happiness lay? because  trouble's always at bay.. Was it right ,whatever I  did? Or do I live the consequence of every misdeed.. .... A little did I know what awaited me... I was about to be free because ,then  came a path.. straight and wide.. a path which then, I travelled with pride..., every trip was  a trip so smooth  that, the pain of the rocky roads tht I was on, Now it was all gone.. .... I travelled tht path with much ease... no strong winds but a cool breeze This went on  for so long, tht I began to feel ill at ease! This situation...

Bored of the same old chiffons and satins??...Revamping your closet, are you??Want to try something new this monsoon??... ... Yes. .??? ..Then presenting an exclusive, chic, sophisticated, our very own, indigenous fabric.... The Khadi!!! Remember khadi?? ............Of course you remember Khadi! ... Maybe say once or twice a year... Wondering when? Obviously! During the hoisting of our Indian National Flag , aka, The Tir an ga . ..isn’t it??...Wondering why..??Because it is the only fabric allowed to be used while making our national flag!! By the way, have you ever wondered why it is so?? Khadi isn’t just a fabric .It once, for Gandhiji, represented an Economic vision, a  vision that emphasized Swaraj(Self-Rule).And it was this very hand-spun and hand-woven fabric that empowered us to attain independence from the age old British Rule...  After my long drawn description you must be thinking that I will be suggesting you to wear khadi jus...

Last week ,when I had baked a choco-vanilla cake and we(my mom,bro n me) were just about to eat it..when my bro exclaimed ,"Thank God we donot need a hammer today!" Hearing this everyone but me started laughing :X.... . I knew how pathetic I was at baking cakes... but this time(by chance) my cake was soft :P No no..I m not a bad cook at all....but when i bake cakes...they turn into cookies .. , the saddest part is even though they taste good... my cakes r so hard that... who knows...u might chip off ur tooth :P.... Earlier when i baked a cake... my mother had to literally break the cake into pieces... we had a hard time chewing :P.............that day i wondered..if i could use my cakes as weapons of self-defence... throw a cake and the miscreants get hurt... :P ..lol, but , fortunately or unfortunately..i have learnt making soft cakes ..... :P but now i do miss the adventure i had while digging into cakes earlier :P.. signing off........

As I am a bird-lover…my mom..recently bought me a parrot(The Indian ringneck parrot….female one)..which eventually led into many interesting and funny issues... (Initially you wouldnot be getting what I am saying but as you scroll down you will definitely understand..) Issue1: We had to transfer the parrot into another big cage..(as it was initially kept in a bamboo cage) Issue2: Then was the “namkaran”(naming ) issue!!! What will we call our ‘green’ member? Issue3: The feeding issue! The first issue required great effort actually!!!...Transferring the parrot into the big cage was the hell of a job..it involved all members of our family..lol! What we did was placed the cages(The bamboo and the metal one) side by side such that the doors opened into each other…and then we tied both the cages so that she would not fly out!... But this parrot proved to be smarter than any one of its species !!! Seriously! ...

In all my previous posts I wouldn't deny ...that I have been very sarcastic but I won't be repeating that attitude in this post of mine... my 20th birthday makes me turn life-o-sophical !! I just realized that i have lived one-fifth of my life (human life 100 years..ain't it?)..and down the memory lane..i see..the dynamic equilibrium of life!! Everything that has happened in my life has never done any harm.! What I have learnt is, everyone should live life to the fullest.. because one can live life happily by living each day of one's life happily!! For me..Each day begins with the sun and ends with the stars.. In yester-years the mornings led me to school..while today they lead me to college!! Yes..there have been many changes...a change from the strictness of the school to the liberty of college.. a change from innocence to awareness..a change from childhood to adulthood.But I swear I have lived each stage happily..! ...

MASS BUNKS :----- I don't think this term needs explanation..as .... Mass bunking is a...... a............characteristic of a typical... Engineering student !!! Especially in our college ..... The last period is usually bunked (Adding to the fury of our DBE sir..who always has classes in the last period :P) ........bunks before our internal exams (Of course!! We do study...n are very...very serious about our exams...(but not our marks though).. ! :P) ,bunks before and after summer & winter holidays :P.. the list is unending.......... Our teachers scold us, reprimand us...often warn us that they will reduce our lab marks..(which actually they donot do.. :P).. .But the point is they do not understand,.... how difficult it is to carry out a mass bunk procedure :P Mass Bunking may seem very easy... but it indeed needs careful planning n coordination :D .. here's the algorithm! ...
