Tweet, retweet or favorite yet?

It’s exam time yet again, so what? I should be surrounded with books and notes around me and with my glasses on I should be struggling to get things into my head and try to finish the portion, but here I am writing a blog post. This because, I deserve it! Now there is no TV around me that I go relax on the couch and shuffle through the channels, so I have my laptop and my blog to cheer me up in the times of such distress. Oh, how much I miss home, how every time I would be tired of the book in front of me, I would just casually walk towards the kitchen, open the refrigerator door and glance through the items in it and then close it and do absolutely nothing. And I know it’s not just me who does this, everyone of you has done it once at least.. And when I find nothing, time for the ultimate rescue, Mom! Drag her all the way to the kitchen to make me something delicious and more interesting than those stacks of books to which I have to return to. Damn, I miss those times.

Sometimes I just wonder, why does everything have its different sets of pros and cons? So since there is no mom and no kitchen and no TV, I rely on twitter for a change in the monotonous mood. Twitter is just like that live newspaper where it’s not just about the serious plots and issues, it’s also about how people have the talent to find humor in everything possible on earth. And FYI, hash-tags are just meant for twitter, so If you trying to be cool on facebook using a hash-tag, I term you as not so cool! 

After I joined twitter, actually let me be precise, after I became completely active on twitter I realized there are not just stereotyped two kinds of people in this world, there are more than you can think of. The grammar Nazis are the best ones, they just cannot tolerate even a single mistake in English language. It’s like their job till death to bring perfection in English language. Then there are those who can make you definitely smile or even laugh at their tweets, it’s an incredible talent I feel. To make someone cry is nothing but make someone laugh is an art. Then there are those who just have to make you feel their presence by cracking their ridiculously so called lame jokes. They assume it to be funny themselves but then yet again, let the truth be hidden.

Some of my friends twitter complicated, but I say it’s hell easier than facebook. Twitter is fast, simple and to the point. The 140 character limit per tweet is one of the plus points, stops you from yapping too much. You might even find people matching your wavelength and you will turn out be great twitter pals once you click with them. Post joining twitter, you might find the celeb accounts. Follow them if you really want to stay put with their regular life. Also, I have got half of my Vodafone problems solved through twitter, believe it or not! They are fast and reply to you immediately. And last but not the least, there are the universal creeps who have hijacked every social networking site with their gay, “hi”, “hello”, “follow me”, blah blah crap. They are hell bored in life I assume. Now comes the best part of this site, the handle. Unique handles are something that is an attention seeker. I have so many which I love. If you are on twitter, follow them, they are my favorites:

https://twitter.com/MayContainPuns

https://twitter.com/ShadyPisces

https://twitter.com/The_Reaper_Eve

https://twitter.com/Sir_Serpents

Trust me you will have an insane time. Your timeline will be kickass and you will never get bored if you are in a lecture, meeting or in a journey. So what you waiting for, join twitter and leave liking, commenting behind. It’s time for some retweets, favorites and following! 

Oh yeah, follow me too, https://twitter.com/TheBongHandle :P <-- publicity

Now I will be back to my monotonously boring textbooks. L oh how much I hate exams! 

About something and everything

Writing is not just being always being perfect, you should write when you want to let your heart out. That's why people maintain journals and diaries and also regular blogs. I am glad i am into something like this because if you don't have the stage to yourself then you have the pen.Let the ink start flowing and beauty is on its way fellows. I don't get to do my favorite thing now a days because of my hectic and monotonous college life. Exams, assignments,projects and reviews are draining me out completely and keeping me away from my favorites....

Writing often makes you more open about yourself and easier to express. I love writing because of this bloody reason. I write about anything on my mind. It's like painting my thoughts on a paper with ink. My few close ones are also into writing and they are brilliant in their own ways. Everyone has a different style of doing things, it might bring an applause or a criticism. And if writers write about something in their subsequent publishing, they are stereotyped. But little do we know that there is always an undiscovered side of every one which has the capability to do wonders. 

With the change in times i am glad, English is being saved from murder. If you would have noticed, people have started to come back to taking the time and patience to use complete words and punctuation in their texts, emails and comments. I am glad i don't see the often use of the absurd abbreviations and short forms,not that i never used it but hey everyone has that period of time where you follow the trend and so did i. Hey but all the twitter users are legally permitted by the grammar Nazis because of the 140 character limit. Twitter reminds me, it's a lot more interesting than facebook. You would get rid of those annoying app requests, weird shares and the rest of your individual facebook woes.

On the other hand twitter is the place where you read awesome tweets and in facebook language you can update your status as frequently you want to without having the fear of being judged and being questioned. So go ahead, get started on some tweeting. And if you tweet something sentimental and emotional, you are the emo, forever alone who is on twitter more than other places...But emotions and love have no definition, its underrated for some because it is packaged with its own kicks sometimes causing people trouble in paradise and sometimes a road to the dream world. And for the rest its overrated, they say its too vague to get serious about...For some love is like the fading colors and for some its the permanent ink stain...

I have been taught to experiment everything in life, so that later i don't get a chance to regret about not trying and letting myself out in the world to live it. It's up to us to what we get addicted to. The pit is right in front of us, if you are the foolish one you would walk straight into it without any second thoughts but the clever one will think and find a way out to cross it without being in it. You must be wondering what is my post actually on, to be honest its on nothing particular..I wanted to write everything that's on my mind pretty much and well it's out here.My mind everyday is like that busy housewife who has to do every chore of the house regardless of anything she wants to do for herself...Everyday when i wake up, its not like those TV commercials or movies in which they show the bright sunshine and the arm stretch, but mine starts with the "oh crap, i have so much work today" expression. Living life is not easy but then again we need to find our own way into the paradise and keep the trouble out of it.Life shoots the truth sometimes like a bullet shot underwater, you will feel the pain but no one ever knows about it. Funny but true at the set of the sun. 


Learn from your everyday, live life everyday, love the beloveds enough, punch the suckers who are a torture and appreciate the ones that tolerate you, odds might be that you just might be lucky..If nothing reaches to better, bring the better closer...no now don't troll on that line. Complications are something we create and simplicity we destroy. If today wasn't a good day, tomorrow or maybe day after might be...

but the good day will come for sure and the smile on your face will please everyone including you. Look at the deviation, i started with how much i love writing and ended writing a crappy and useless but i think a bit useful piece. Add some colors to your life and throw away the black stuff from it..write, play, enjoy and dream. Oh, by the way someone always corrects me whenever i say black is a color and according to that someone black is the absence of color and after so many corrections i have accepted it completely though it's still my favorite whatever.

Think before you say, and think before you write?

Back to writing what I love and not what i am forced to. Oh yeah, i was busy writing my semester finals and now that they are over, its such a relief. But I guess those good times are gone when we could write whatever we want to openly allowed by our own constitution that gives us the freedom of speech but then again the Government of India doesn't seem to be happy with it. Just imagine yourself in the place of those two innocent girls, you update a status on facebook and then suddenly someone knocks at your door after an hour or so, and all you see after opening the door is a policeman with handcuffs to arrest you. ..creepy right? Burning down houses, hoardings, creating chaos, causing unwanted disturbance in the city's functioning is very ethically correct but if I update a status saying that I don't think a bandh is necessary then that's wrong and totally not justified...But then what we can do is again nothing. 

Anyway so this is what is going on in the country and some of them are busy discussing that Sachin Tendulkar should retire just because he didn't score in the last few matches regardless of the fact that he got those numerous trophies, victories, and fame to our country and the rest just are happy with their own life. 

As for me I just got done with exams and i missed writing. In my last post i conveyed my concern for books that are now a days sold in the market and i got quite a positive response for that because a lot of them actually take my side on it. Anyway so its December again, vacations, festivals, some spending and some partying and some are actually busy cutting cakes because they believe world is gonna come to an end and they never gonna meet each other...its hilarious but then some do find it cute. But do YOU believe that so easily the world is gonna come to an end? I am not challenging science here, but if i wanna believe everything is gonna get over in a matter of few days, I will regret of so much things i haven't yet done. Its funny how people actually are coming up with new stories everyday about why there is a possibility that the world is not gonna exist anymore... some say since all the famous men have been called by God, so its gonna be all of us now and some say the hurricane and cyclones and tsunami are the indication that world is coming to an end. And after reading and listening to all of these, I just say "What the Hell!!" Imagination going crazy huh. 

This post I am not writing on anything particular, I am just stressing on the fact that how we believe whatever we hear and see and not try to look into it whether it might be right or wrong...We all need to take a stand at every point of our life...it may vary from being bullied by your sibling or classroom scenes or trying to make a relationship work, or being a slave to your boss to unnecessary arrests, unjustified chaos in your city.. I know its easy to say than to do it but hey you never know, they might just read this and plot me down to where I am and arrest me...and the answer to that you already have it. There are this bunch of people who have decided to stand up for the right and fight against the wrong and because of these people those two Mumbai girls are safe and sound. But this bunch should turn and change into the entire population where we don't let circumstances come up where you have to fight for what you actually deserve. 

If you can't be active in the movement, make some passive contributions so that at the end of the day you are not just some ordinary person who is sitting in front of the television on the couch discussing how things are going wrong in the country, sipping a cup of coffee. You must be thinking what big i am achieving writing a blog post about it. Well they say, spread the word enough till it reaches where it should. 

Cheers!

Too many Chetan Bhagats in town!

When i write something every time, i try to write something new and interesting. And accept it, for how long will you people visit my blog to read tips on relationships, pros and cons of love, my theory of living life and my mantra of being happy. So today i am writing on this particular thought which is being a topic of discussion among a lot of people on a coffee table or maybe even during those morning and evening jogging sessions. There are A LOT of people out there who LOVE reading- starting from the ones who own a personal library at their houses to those who still issue books from the library to read to those who borrow from their friends to those who read a book when its in the news.

 I love reading and as i pick new ones every time when i have the urge to read, i visit online stores to buy books. For the past few weeks as I have been browsing through some books to order on flipkart,  I came across these list of books by Indian authors (specifically 'cause i didn't find any except the indians and no, don't judge me, its not that i am not being a good citizen and criticizing my own fellow citizens. Just telling what i noticed.)  and all had the same story line- love, relationship, sex, flings,college life and family issues. Its like suddenly everyone has started writing their autobiography on the basis of the little life that they have lived till date. No, there's nothing wrong in writing and in fact i encourage people to write 'cause its a very good habit. Just that if every college student starts writing about their college life and relationships, then its sad for us who love reading Paulo Coehlo, Sydney Sheldon, Robert Kiyosaki, Amitava Ghosh and so on!

Suddenly the publishing houses seem to care less about what are the ingredients and more about the dish. Like all they want is the green notes flowing into their bank accounts and their sales rising each day. But little do they realize that soon days will come when readers won't even bother looking at the cover, forget the summary. No offence to all those writers out there. I mean everyone has the same monotonous style and story line. I know its a very sensitive and controversial topic and i might be hated for this post but hey its a democratic country and freedom of speech is prevalent. 


Every other person is just trying to be Chetan Bhagat. One of him is good but too many of them is just too much! If you wanna talk about your life and love and relationships, keep a blog or write a journal. Its a bitter truth but we have our own lives to deal with rather than reading about yours. The media anyway makes sure we know about the celebrity life in and out and there's that to deal with. And if you love writing why not write something more adventurous or creative. I am not giving you some free piece of advice here, just letting out the word of how the whole trend of the section of so called 'romance' in the bookshelf is slowly fading away and how we readers go back to the authors who made us got committed to reading. We don't want a bacon collection here.

keep reading and keep writing!

cheers :)

music makes it easier!

wow! after a LONG time i am writing something and i won't be surprised if it turns out to be an ultimate disaster but then i have to write....'cause its been a while now. For some queer reason, i couldn't come up with anything to write on. Life is already something we know, why write about it more and make it complicated. When everything goes wrong, music is something we actually rely on to calm us down and live in some parallel universe which perhaps only exists for us in our minds. No, i am not trying to be Paulo Coehlo, telling you to strive for something and wait for it forever... no offence i meant. He is one of my favourite authors and his "The Alchemist" was an phenomenal experience for me. 

Returning to writing about music....When everything seems wrong, life is ruthlessly mean and you can't tolerate anything around, plugging those earphones on sometimes ( for me always), is an absolution.

I am not some kind of musician that i would criticize or suggest or discuss genres of music... My taste in music is nothing specific and i listen to anything that sets my mood right. Out there some of you love the soft, delicate and flowing music soothing you down, some love the deathly, loud, metal and some who just love tunes without words fascinating them always.... Its not about what we love, its about why we love! 

There is music in everything---whether it be those noisy traffic jams, or the serene opera shows, or the loud music concerts or maybe even the silence...if we want to hear it we will...Music is something that we create and we listen and we love. Hey, i am not going all about inspiring you all to learn music or its essence or blaahh.. I am just reminding you about those certain times when you want to cry your heart out, on the top of the mountain and shout the loudest ever...and trust me that's a GOOD feeling!! That iPod or mp3 player of yours serves you well in times of great need..to help you keep away from the crowd around and as i said take you into a parallel universe where its just about you!! After coming to college, one of the most precious possessions of mine are my earphones. I just can't walk out of my room for classes without them. And i know i am not the only one..many of you do it too...I am so particular about it that I avoid from sharing it :P

Everything is pretty much plain and boring without music if you ever noticed. Like, if you watch Game of Thrones, (which by the way is one hell of a show and it has got me way too much addicted to it), the background score that they have to every scene and also the title tune is just too good, so good that the music grabs a major attention...I know its weird how I brought in Game of Thrones when all i was blabbering about music above..sorry for that, watching it on a daily basis and completely hooked on it.

So how about some humming and singing or in worst cases bathroom singing, go ahead, put your playlist on shuffle and imagine yourself to Lady Gaga, Rihanna or maybe even Justin Timberlake and sing your heart out and please spare the neighbours by the way if your voice was not meant to be for singing :P keep yourself out of trouble, just saying :P and if by any chance you imagine yourself to be Justin Beiber, then you are gay....

Now I was definitely not planning that in my blog-post but can't help it, this is what the world talks about and  how could i shut up :P 

music forever!

Cheers :D

Be the kid again!

Was wondering what to write on and couldn’t think of it since days :/ okay I was obviously busy enjoying the perks of summer vacations :D after all, this is the only time I get mom’s food and all the pampering and you see all of us don’t reside at nearby cities to VIT(yeah, that’s where I am gonna rot the next 3 years). Some lucky chaps run off to their home at Chennai or Bangalore (I still prefer calling this rather than bengaluru) every chance they get. Anyway, we do somehow manage to have fun our own ways by not coming back to where we belong. Now as I thought of what to write, I almost covered a lot of things I usually go through or I think about or whatever…so this time I randomly came up with something to write , no nothing about the presidential elections or the Indian economy downfall…too boring for me to write and you to read and neither am I writing about Euro2012, you see I have football knowledge almost equal to zero(yes I agree) and those occasional times I watch them because of the hot players :P

It’s freaking hot in India and I am glad I am not there to suffer it all B) and for all of you there,I feel bad, survive the heat! I am sitting in Lagos(for all those of you reading this don’t know what lagos is, google it;)!) thank God! *phew* Summer vacations is one LONG,BIG break from your regular life. Now if you are thinking I am going to write some essay on summer vacations, I am not. For me summer vacations from childhood were always a trip to somewhere. I have travelled a lot since my childhood. Every summers was a chance for me to explore new places and I used to wait for the month of may because I knew my mom was going to pack bags and my dad was looking for places to go :D I have almost covered the entire 26 states of India, except for a few of them, fell short of school years L There was this one summer where I went to the north covering nainital, mussorie and further higher to Badrinath, snow in summer a bliss I tell youJ And every time I got to spend my birthday at different places :P explains my inconsistency. My 18^th I spent in Mauritius paragliding, now that’s more cool than to get drunk :D

yeah, that is some weird expression i am making there!

Though not my favourite season but it has still been a great one whenever I had plans for vacations. This summer I turned 19, no vacations and just looking through old albums where it was different me. Childhood is one of the best period of one’s life. How much ever you were beaten up for those naughtiness, how much ever you were scolded for your low marks(some of us are still screwed for it:P), how much ever you were told not to do this and that, but that was one hell of a freedom we had got. Freedom at its height I would say… College is no doubt fun but not more fun than running towards the swings and flying high with them, seemed as if we were on the top of the world, those times when friendship was just about being the best of friends, times when getting a chocolate for something was considered the greatest reward, times when the only relationships we knew about was with our family…those times are never going to come back. We find kids and their stupid activities annoying, but maybe you were one of those annoying kid. I miss being that free, I miss those times when all mistakes I did were forgotten saying , “ leave it, she is just a kid!” An anonymous saying, "today is the oldest you have ever been and the youngest you will ever be", true words!

But after all these years, there is still a small kid within us who just wants to run wild in the free without any boundaries. I know a friend of mine who is elder to me by few years in age but is such a kid and throws all kind of tantrums when it comes to fulfilling demands :P its said, youth is a state of mind. Be young at heart, and world will be much simpler than what it is. So unleash the child within you this summer and do something you last stopped when you were a child with no responsibilities.

Go ahead, open the fridge and grab some chocolates, eat as much ice-cream you want, go as wild as you can(now many of you, not going wild that way :P don't read between the lines XD) live life as you used to, and enjoy your summers like you never did before.

Cheers :D

Her endless journey

As dark as the storm clouds,

Blur like those foggy days,

Weak roots lie beneath the tree of life

Holding onto nothing would be precise.

Pulled by the evil forces behind,

As she tried taking a step in the journey unknown

Fell weak on her knees and looked up to faith.

She held in herself for ages, the agony and pain,

she mustered the courage to master the force,

For the justice she was never given,

For the revenge she never thought of taking.

She walked ahead without a direction,

But a destination clear as crystal.

She climbed upon life,

grabbing each branch as a hope,

rotten fruits all it gave but,

the seeds were her soul.

Never will she give up, till she found

The reason behind her misery.

Grabbing some bites of love and sips of joy,

Still searching and walking the endless journey.
