Imagination's Girl.

I'm often thinking of random things, and this is what my grey matter decided to come up with, for no rhyme or reason! Yes, I tend to do a lot of mind blabber.
Sigh!

Who's that girl, with the large, glossy black eyes?
Her hair a deep coffee brown, shaped and long, highlighting her pretty face.
Dressed in black, she looks like an average teen, but look closer, she carries a crown of thorns.
Despite this her lips twist into an angelic smile.
Her hands seem rough, but elegant.
She wears the pride of a survivor.
The confidence of a pageant queen.
The hurt of a mother who lost her child.
And the knowledge of the saints of the Himalayas.
So young, you may wonder. Yes, life treated her differently!
It made her heart like a soldier. Always protected with high walls.
She says she feels no pain, but the eyes don't deceive.
She holds onto memories, like a child and her favorite blanket.
Who she is, we'll never know. But she's out there, somewhere, shaping her destiny!

*gets reflective*

Confession?

So we all have those completely moody and nostalgic days, where reminiscence is our only medium of solace! (Wow! i sound like some really old old philosopher!) Today seems to be one of those days for me!
I have a little confession to make.
It's difficult to confess mistakes. It's difficult to stand and say that you were wrong, no matter how much you rationalize only to convince yourself about the bitter truth! But, at the end of the day, we sleep with our own conscience! (Now I'm convinced I sound like a philosopher! :/ )

Here's to one of my closest friends..
Probably i was wrong for letting you go, but you should've held me back.
I was wrong for pushing you aside so as to keep my priorities in place, but I now realize how much you mean to me.
I was wrong for not forgiving you, when you reacted in the most obvious way, but i was hurt and taken over my emotions.
I was wrong when I said i didn't want to talk to you, but you knew i still loved you, and the only person I needed was you.
I was wrong when I said you're always at fault, but I'm human too!

I am pretty much misunderstood. I also have those frustrating days where I vent out my frustration by making small things big, and getting even more frustrated. (How typical!)
But there's one thing I want you to remember, you will always be one of my bestest friends, no matter where life takes us, cause you were always there for me! :)

And..thus ends my today's dose of cheesiness. :S

Forever And Always!

We all have that one set of weirdos we can trust our lives with. They're always there, making you feel good about your achievements and giving you reality checks on your worst prejudices! (I mean, who would need that? But friends are friends!) They keep your head on your shoulders, and ensure you be a bitch only when you have to!
I, too, have this amazing set of retarded creatures who were "cosmically coincident", and brought into each others company by the "Holy Lord". Here's my tribute (Okay, I didn't get any other word) to them!
To flattery. Cheers! (We all have our days!)

My Best Friend. Shar. :)
She's probably the MOST confused person anyone can ever come across! We've known each other for 5 years now, and well, she's still slow with pervert jokes! (It's okay, there are slow learners all over the world, love!)
She's been with me through everything. Literally. All through school, from innocent kids, to snobbish teens, to insecure college days. Despite having numerous fights, and 'you need a reality check' talks, we've held on to each other, shared our fears, our joys, and our ice creams!
All those crazy 12am talks (Damn, you are bloody instinctive!), holding hands and skipping around school, 'I look hideous today' embarrassments, Johnny Bravo chats (OMG!), 'we need to talk' moments, 'when we're 80 year old' talks, Himalaya abscond plans..
All of them just show how much you mean to me. Damn, I'm getting sentimental.

My Girlfriend. Ishi. :)
I cannot live without her, period. It's ironic, cause we hated each other in school, and then just randomly met one day, and termed each other girlfriends. Haha. That was kind of silly, you know! Anyway.
There's not one day that passes without us texting or talking. Even if it does, we'll compensate for it the next day! (Our cell phone bills, sigh!). You've been such an amazing friend, you know. Even if your upset or frustrated, you're always there for me. You'll hear the same gay stories again and again, and keep reacting to them with the same enthusiasm.
All our silly girly talks, 'when we were there' talks, CCD dates (Damn, I haven't been there in a while!), 'Ironies of Life' conversations, POL & book writing ideas, Punny jokes, 'I-know-right' moments, Imitating people who 'ispeak lyk dis' laughs, 'Lolzzz..<3 <3' picture comments..
Wow. Thats a lot for being friends only for a year. I know you got sentimental, idiot.

Perspective Girl. Nishi. :P
So you're horny. Very horny. Your thinking, no one can match. Your jokes, no one can think of. And your ability to change moods, damn! You can be So pervert one minute, and be talking about life philosophies and people the next. You have some capacity to gossip. Remember the silly B n R ice cream talks?
All those silly photography quests, bitching about gay people making out in CCD, eating like theres no tomorrow, flop make up sittings, shopping plans that never happen, speed boating!
Beside all of this, there's just so much to learn to you. You've got so many layers. You're talented as hell. I admire your courage, your independence and ability of making up stories. :P

The "Awwwwwwsome" One. Rahul.
Yeah yeah, you are "awwwesome", and you cannot spell "Royce" properly.
You are the craziest and most amazing friend I've had. Our conversations are worth writing a 10 volume Joke Book which would definitely receive a Nobel Prize, in the near future. We'll insure that!
All our stupid 'we have to save the world' talks, 'anti Reliance' conversations, singing on the phone at 3 in the night, "arre listen to me na" talks, saving epic photographs, music afternoons, watching the guy fall of the swing from your window sill..
Everything just potrays how much you're full of yourself, cuz I know you're gonna go all "I'm awesome B)" over this! (I'm just kidding. :P)

Jay. :)
So, I'm kinda confused about what category you'd fall under, cause I don't seem to be getting the right words to use here!
You've been my best friend all through school. We've gone from completing hating each other, to it's absolute opposite, and opposite, again!
You're still the best dancer I know, the one that cracks the most 'pathetic' 'punny' jokes on 'hideous' people, the one who's drawing is pretty cool, the one who understands exactly how I feel, without me saying much, and the one who's got an awful B'lore accent, and the one who can bear me 24/7.. ( I'm kidding here.)
But all of this is just 1% of who you truly are.
Misunderstood, we all are. :)

So these are the retards who can never ever get replaced. No matter if we turn 80 and become wrinkled old creatures trotting with a stick, we'll ensure even then that we'd take each others sticks and run away..
I may fight with you guys, say things I don't mean, PMS like a bitch, but at the end of the day, I'm always gonna be there for you guys..
So, I'm getting sentimental and stuff, but most of you are used to those mood swings!

Shar is probably getting all nostalgic by now.
Ishi is planning her super long reply!
Nishi is coming up with wise cracks to hide how she truly feels.
Jay is probably confused, and is wondering how to reply.
While Rahul must be chanting "I'm Awwwesome"!

I love you people. B)

On Why I Love Bob Marley!

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.
When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.
There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are.
The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again.
Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face.
In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do.
Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you.
You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."

Enough said.
Bob Marley, I love you!

Delhi Belly-Utter Disaster!

Much hyped about movies always make you want to go and watch them! Maybe because curiosity kills or you just like being a critic and killing the fun. Ha, sadastic pleasures!
I suffer from both.


I recently went to watch the much anticipated, 4 star movie of the year, Delhi Belly (Marketting gimicks do wonders!). Let me tell you, I was throughly disappointed.
The movie had simply NO story, the direction was slack, characterization was weak, acting was average and it was an unnecessary drag.

Maybe I suck at judging movies, or the people around me do. For no reason cuss words were added in every sentence, and so many people went 'cool' and 'awesome' over that!

To add to it, it was in 'Hinglish'. A few scenes did have good slapstick humour, while the rest were potential PJ's (Poor Jokes, for those who are "Gen Y Abbrevation" retarded). It looked to be a failed attempt of trying to mix up Peter Sellers' (Pink Panther Series) humour, with a little touch of Steve Martin and a hint of American Pie type jokes, and a story as sad as Crank II. I guess that can explain how sad it was.
Imraan 'oh-so-cute' Khan was a turn off because of his sad make up and even bad attempts of making out with that awful lizard like lady. Eeeks. Human disaster!

Coming to the music, there was nothing as catchy as that!
The song DK Bose makes you go all DK Bose-y. Its like those annoying songs you like but cant get out of your head.
Even "Jaa Chudail" was epically hilarious.
But "I Hate You Like (I Love You) in brackets" was awesome! Stupid lyrics and amazing mocking of silly 'superstars'.

Overall, it was pretty okay-ish, a one time watch. Nothing so great or worthy of comparison to movies like 3 Idiots.
Watch it, if you can. Its short, you'll survive.
This does show how strong branding is in the industry.
Shahrukh Khan is not the only lame example in my dictionary now!

Mumbai Trains. Theres Nothing That Can Compare To Them!

"Chalo andar, bahar log latak rahe hai"..
This line is perfectly explains the experience of travelling via Mumbai local trains, during peak hours.
Ranting. Raving. Abusing in a 100 different languages, are some of the perks everyone gets the benefit of. If you don't, then you've done something right to NOT deserve it.

Honestly, the condition is really that bad. I travel everyday from one end of the city to the other, and have been victim to verbal abuses, and have also been shoved off a train! Its a part and parcel of Mumbai life.
We live that way-Rough and Tough!

During Monsoons, the trains are often delayed, making travel way more terrifying. People hang onto the doors for dear life. WHY cant they just wait to get onto the next train?! What could be more important than their life?
Its ridiculous.
I'd rather miss out on my attendance in college, than sit in a hospital for being ruthless.

To add to this, the trains are awfully dirty.
People spit tobacco and god knows what other concoctions, on the platforms.
Pick pocketing during peak hours is considered normal. (Yes, Ive lost a cell phone too!)
For heavens sake, there are slippers and other miscellaneous things lying on the tracks! Sometimes I really wonder how they get there.

Despite all this criticism, the trains are the lifeline of this busy city. The day they're shut, Mumbai comes to a standstill. But sometimes, better security and discipline, are more important than receiving the pink slip.

Its a do or die situation!

Searching for Answers!

Bored best friends always have a supernatural tendency of getting awfully philosophical. This is what me and my "BFF" (Yes. The super-ly obvious tag) came up with!

When you revolve your life around an inconsequential thing,
Knowing the walls of comfort may break someday,
When you know it's gonna come right back at you,
Why do we wait to go astray..

Hypothetical questions out in the void,
Shooting around like a voluminous asteroid,
Kill the confusion and kill the pain,
Why isn't right or wrong as clear as rain..

Because the rain isn't clear,
And the pain goes unsaid,
While the walls of comfort,
Are as stable as castles of dirt!

Being strong is what we have to do,
Taking everything in out stride,
Friends and foes, may come and go,
But in the end, we stand alone!

Friends, they come and go!
Some true, some fake. But life goes on!
