The Heart Has Its Reasons...

I Got The Following As Forward....Take A Moment To Read It...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Peter and Tina are sitting in the park doing nothing but
just gazing into the sky, while all their friends are having fun
with their beloved half.

Tina: I'm so bored. Just wish I have a boyfriend now to spend time with.

Peter: I guess we're the only leftovers. We're the only person who isn't with a date now. (both sigh in silence for a while)

Tina: I think I have a good idea. Let's play a game.

Peter: Eh? What game?

Tina: Eem. It's quite simple. You'll be my boyfriend for 100 days and I'll be your girlfriend for 100 days. What do you think?

Peter: Oookay. Anyway I don't have any plan for the next few months.

Tina: You sound like you aren't looking forward to it at all.Cheer up. Today will be our first day and our first date. Where should we go?

Peter: What about a movie? I heard that there is a really great movie in theater now.

Tina: Seems like I don't have any better idea than this. Let's move. (went to watch their movies and sent each other home)

Day 2:Peter and Tina went to a concert together, and Peter bought Tinaa keychain with a star.

Day 3: They went shopping together for a friend's birthday present. Shared anice-cream together and hugged each other for the first time.

Day 7: Peter drove Tina to a mountain and they watched the sunset together. When the night came and the moon glowed, they sat on the grass gazing at the stars together. A meteor passed by. Tina mumbled something.

Day 25:Spent time at a theme park and got onto roller coasters, and atehotdogs and cotton candy. Peter and Tina got in the haunted houseand Tina grabbed someone's hand instead of Peter's hand by accident. Theylaughed together for a while.

Day 67: They drove pass a circus and decided to get in to watch the show. Themidget asked Tina to play a part as his assistant in the magic show.Went around to see other entertainments around after the show.Came to a fortune teller and she just said "Treasure every moment from
now on"and a tear rolled down the fortune teller's cheek.

Day 84: Tina suggested that they go to the beach. The beach wasn't so crowded that day. They had their first kiss with each other just as the sunwas setting.

Day 99:They decided to have a simple day and walked around the city.They sat down onto a bench.

1:23 pm
Tina: I'm thirsty. Let's rest for a while first.
Peter: Wait here while I go buy some drinks. What would you like?
Tina: Eem. Apple juice will be just fine.

1:43 pm
Tina waited for about 20 minutes and Peter hadn't returned.
Then someone walked up to her.

Stranger: Is your name Tina?
Tina: Yes, and may I help you?
Stranger: Just now down there on the street a drunk driver has crashedinto a guy. I think it's your friend.

Tina ran over to the spot with the stranger and sawPeter lying on the floor with blood over his face and her apple juice still in his hands. The ambulance came and she went to the hospital
with Peter. Tina sat outside the emergency room for five and a halfhours. The doctor came out, and he sigh.

11:51 pm
Doctor: I'm sorry but we did the best we could. He is still breathingnow but God would take him away from us very soon. We found this letter inside his pocket. The doctor handed over the letter toTina and she went into the room to see Peter. He looked weak but peaceful.Tina read the letter and then she burst into tears.

Here is what the letter said.

Tina, our 100 days is almost over. I had fun with you during all thesedays. Although you may be greedy sometimes and less thoughtful but these all brought happiness into my life. I have realized that you are a really cute girl and blamed myself for never taken the time to
knowing that. I have nothing much to ask for, but I just wish that wecan extend the day. I want to be your boyfriend forever and wish that you can be beside me all the time. Tina, I love you.

11:58
Tina: (sobbing) Peter. Did you know what was the wish I made on the night there was a meteor. I asked God to let us last forever. We were supposed to last 100 days so Peter! You can't leave me! I LOVE YOU, but can you come back to me now? I love you Peter. I LOVE YOU.

As the clock struck twelve, Peter's heart stopped beating. It was100 days.

Well I won't ask you to send this to EVERYONE you love or hate but I will ask you to treasure everyone that hastaken apart in your life. Tell the guy or girl that you love them beforeit's
too late. You never know what's going to happen tomorrow. You neverknow who will be leaving you and never return.

Ones nationality is ones identity...and I am a proud INDIAN...

There is so much pride in being born in such a beautiful country like India...
Beautiful life, beautiful people, beautiful everything...
Maybe everything is not perfect about India, but then nothing in this world is perfect...

Today is Republic Day...What national pride!!
But, I am not proud of myself...

I always wanted to join the armed forces and protect my motherland...Be a dedicated son...
Make everyone proud of me...Make INDIA proud of me...

But here I am, doing nothing...
Short and stout...Will never make it to the armed forces...

Next option is to be a public servant...
I tried preparing for UPSC exams...to become a IAS, IPS, IFS officer...
But...no brains!! Only hard work is not enough to sail through these exams...

But, nevertheless, I am determined...to do something...for my motherland..
Maybe take INDIA to the next pedestal of scientific research...
Maybe...Just Maybe...
Wish me luck folks!!!

Someday India will be proud to have a son like me....
Eventhough I may not achieve what I have set out for...
But I will be proud...that I tried...

Dunno What To Say..Am Speechless!!

This has been worrying me since quite sometime now. Safety of women in India especially in metros.....

Since the past couple of years, Mumbaikars have welcomed the new year with horrific stories of molestation. Women being groped and molested by a crowd. Shameful...

These are highlighted just because some media people were there on the spot for coverage of the incidents. But, such events are not one off rare affair. These happen everyday, just that journos are not there to report them.

I was out on 31st night...with school friends...enjoying the festive atmosphere...when the discussion turned towards women...(Guys cant ever stop discussing women...can they??)...
The general sentiment among us was that we are a group of jerks...who don't have a girlfriend and hence are losers. We are born in a transition period, where all our juniors and seniors have been dating women, bedding them and enjoying life, booze and one night stands. They wanted to visit dance bars...just to see what it is, enjoy life, see everything before they die. Visit discos with women and ........ Huh!!...
I mean, seriously, is dating women and bedding them the sole purpose of life?? I was shocked by their opinion of women. These people whom I have grown up with...expressing women in such disgracing terms. And more shockingly, they felt nothings wrong with their opinion. Well, I don't mean to say that I hate these guys, these guys are my support system, my only good friends...the friends whom I have grown up with...but still...I still cant come to terms with their thinking. They seemed so desperate.

Yesterday, I was hanging with two guys from my colony...the only two friends I have here. The new year molestation incident came up. One guys opinion was of anger. Not at the mob, but at the women. According to him, women have no business hanging out after dark, coz its imperative that they will be molested. I mean how sick!! Double standard has its limits. This same guy will happily go on a long drive with his girlfriend...in the middle of the night(Although I am not sure whether his girlfriend will be game for such an outing...lol)...

Today's newspaper also carried a survey of metro cities...which states that about 70% of the population believes that women are vulnerable if they go out to discs.

What crime have women committed? Wearing revealing clothes? Boozing? Partying? Bloody everyone has a life and has every right to enjoy it as it appeals to him/her. What right do men have to mar their enjoyment? Ask the molesters, what if somebody molests his mother, sister or wife?

I don't know what to say...but the one word that comes to my mind is Disgusting...

Regarding my friends, I have an interesting observation. All the guys who express the above opinions are either commerce grads or engineering students. I have never come across a biology / medical graduate who voice the same opinion. Maybe I am just imagining things. Man...my mind is not working. I am angry. On the change. Mumbai changing to Shanghai...The mentality...still SICK!!

About Me

*Disclaimer: My writing skills are not that great and my posts will be ridden with gramatical and spelling errors...



Hmm...

Since there is nothing better to write at this moment, i thought of writing about me. Studying blogging trends(ie. some of my friends personal blogs) the favourite first posts emerges to be 'About Me'. Myself being just another face in the crowd(atleast, till date) decided to honor the trend established by better blog writers and start off -About Me...



I am a real illusion. I am someone who you will see everyday on the streets, in cafes, in trains but will never notice me. I exist, you see me, yet I dont exist. Am famously anonymous. I am simply complicated...I am one...among many.



How do I describe myself?

I can describe myself as this and that, but how far is that true? I believe that everyone has a different view of a person and hence it is just not possible to describe someone. A behaviour or a comment of mine may be percieved differently by different people. So its imperative that all of them will have a different view of me. I am thus a different person for different people without being different at all.

But all this is not true. People are defined by peculiar characteristic(s). These are percieved similarly. I will list some of mine.

I am always late for meetings. I hardly turn up for meetings.
I procastinate work.
I make every possible attempt to harrass people.
I never keep my word.
There are many more which are better not revealed.
(I do have quite a few explanations for my erratic behaviour, but those are never believed by anybody....and better it remain that way)

These are some common behaviour of mine. Most percieve them as the way I have written. Yet there is a twist. Although everyone percieves them as same, the conclusion drawn and the reactions garnered for these particular behaviour are different for different people.

Heres where I make my point. Eventhough a person may be defined by his/her characteristics, yet he/she is percieved differently by different pair of eyes. Emotions rule the roost here and physical parameters are not applicable for description. Any living being cannot be described, only felt, percieved and loved.

And concluding with an universal truth(especially for people whom I know).
Come storm, come gale, come drought, come famine .....between us...
Come fights, come tensions, come misunderstandings, come differences..... between us...
You will remain the same for ever, for me...... My love....

My First Post

Hmm..
I have created a Blog!!
Yaay!!(Clap Clap Clap)..
Now What??

Relenting into peer pressue (and supposedly coolness quotient)...I finally decided to start my own blog. Since I have no idea why should I write a blog, I am just letting my thoughts flow..

Why do people write blogs? The promt monosyllabic answer that comes to mind is self expression. Hmm...nice way to relent out your frustration...lol

Since I am relatively shy and speak my mind a lot less than often...I decided to make my voice heard here...

Someday...Somewhere...Sometime...Someone!!!
