Gtalk is a BITCH!! :x

It makes you an addict.
It makes you lose your sanity.
It keeps you online for hours together.
It makes you change your display pic @ of 4 pix per 10 seconds.
It tricks you in every possible way there is!! :(
It blinds you completely.


That's Gtalk for you people!


How to know you're a gtalk addict?? (I "discovered" it today .. and I won't call it serendipity : for it wasn't, in the least, pleasant!)
So I was online and a pal had the following status message displayed:

glisten glisten!!

Now for the test. How would you read it??



Normal people will read it as .. yes yes .. glisten - as in shine like a wet or polished surface.



Thank the heavens if THAT'S how you read it.



Gtalk addicts will, however, beg to differ .. they view the above as: glisten glisten :



Yes .... you got that right ..... I was the one who saw the unseeable..... :(

PS: If any of you visiting this page are gtalk addicts .. please say aye .. 'coz I feel ostracized :(

From worse to verse.....

Ask me not why this piece has been put into writing ..... Truth is, I do not know myself.


It is a shaky ground where she stands,
The road ahead is not one less travelled.
Yet a panic grips her so tight.....
Unsure of all the vigour
that every mortal thought she was blessed with,
that effervescence, that confidence
which had kept her alive,
All sublimed like it never existed.....

Her soul curses her heart, her whole self.
Yes! Her soul curses her today.
The little voice in her head
implores her to let go,
but it is not easy to do so.

With no will of her own
she seems to be possessed by an unknown force.
Palpitations of the heart and her ceasing breath,
The answer, it seems, lies in her death.
Letting her die, I wish, hard it wouldn't be,
But at the end of the day
I am her, she is me.

Of Small Hours and Little Wonders!

In the end

We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate.
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain.

Its pretty ironical that I came across this song exactly the day I was reminiscing about the days gone by .. leaving me with a weirdly nice kind of feeling which is inexplicable.

It’s a track sung by Rob Thomas (of Matchbox 20 fame) for the movie Meet the Robinsons (an animation).

The “small hours” and the “little wonders” that Rob croons about are what constituted of happYness for me in the past week. These were the hours I spent with my friends, both old and new. And my "life was made" in "those twists and turns of fate". ;-)

In retrospect last week was probably the best week of my life in the past few months. I spent quality time with 3 of the most amazing conversationalists I have ever come across (with 2 of them being extremely close friends of mine). And these well spent “small hours” will probably see me through tough times that I may have to face in a few days. It’s always nice to know that there are people out there who genuinely care for you and would go to any lengths to help you out in distress.

They will lecture you about what a shitpiece of a wimp you are, how naïve you are, how unreasonable you are being and the very next moment they will be churning out master plans to bail you out of any dire straits that arise.

I just want to thank these people (you know who you are) who were kind enough to grant me my very own “small hours” and “little wonders”. I love you guys! :D

PS: the link to the song stands corrected!

Fate strikes back! ;)

Referring to a couple of posts back I'd like to let everyone know .. fate DOES exist!! I had my proof yesterday! ;)

No matter how many plans you make OR alternatively avoid making any plans .. if something has to happen it sure as hell happens!
Fate is pretty adjustable you see .. it will fit perfectly with your day's schedule .. any time, any place .. any where.

However, there are instances when it has a screwed up sense of timing!! Just like yesterday :|
Everything was PERFECT! Yet a minor detail had been overlooked! So it wasn't quite like I had anticipated.

But the Q now is .. if fate DID bring things together but not to the extent you would have liked .. do YOU then take the next steps?? or do you wait for fate to strike .. again?!

Calling you.....

You guys HAVE TO hear this!
Came across the song accidentally and it's amongst my favourite ones at this moment! :-)
Enjoy people! :-)

Murphy's law personified!!

"Anything that can go wrong, will—at the worst possible moment"

The blown up version of the incurable gash:

Why me God?? Why???!! :(

What in the world .....

..... can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue??!!!

At the moment:

1. fate (She'll find out soon if it does or not)

2. things taking too long to get over

3. the months of May and June

4. not being able to read enough good books

5. not being able to write in peace

6. not being able to go where she wants to (at the moment: Delhi and Germany)

7. not being able to meet whom she wants to (at the moment: her best mate Kabu whom she hasn't seen for over a year)

8. not being able to do what she wants to (at the moment: finish writing an incomplete piece ; going on a long drive all by herself)

9. the unbearable heat and sudden power cuts = no AC, no TV, no moozheek

10. the society roads (make riding a bike hell .. its like taking part in one of those quarry races : )

11. the gol-guppe she had round the corner of her block (makes her think of Dilli again and again :(( )

12. movies she cannot find

13. CDs/DVDs she's lost in the mess that surrounds her

14. her boring boring (atleast according to her) wardrobe
