Spiced Up !!!!

A numbness ensues, a despair, like a calmness after the storm wiping out a city....

And the Blog gets a facelift to spices up things now ! How do you like the new template and theme ? Any screams, neighs, grunts, cheers, applauses ??

...

How vain is it to sit down and write when you have not stood up to live.

- Henry David Thoreau

So Long...

So long to old posts...

no more cribbing...no more hurting...and I leave with some Yogi Berra's quotes..

"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."
"Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken."
"Half the lies they tell about me aren't true."
"I just want to thank everyone who made this day necessary."
"I never said most of the things I said."
"I wish I had an answer to that because I'm tired of answering that question."
"If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be."


And his best ever

"It ain't over till it's over." and...
"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

And a personal favorite of many

"You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise, they won't come to yours."
"When you arrive at a fork in the road, take it."

He seems to be really listening to me these days. Just when I wonder how bad can it possibly go from this point onwards, I get the answer! :|

Reminder to myself: Stop asking, even if ever so quietly to thyself!

Do let me know what you think.

Sleepless nights..

They say: when the goal is so close that you can feel it, or the dream so over powering that you can visualize it even with open eyes, sleep is hard to come by...

And I wonder: is that so? :)

Investing - Emotionally !!!

One of the best investments I've ever made is this.



You might ask what is so special about this. Let me list it here.

1. Its all metal. Yes. An alloy with the best craftsman ship unlike many plastic earphones that distort music.
2. Its one of the lightest yet ! Weighing about 12g, its not heavy on the ears.
3. Its noise cancellation technology is unparalleled.
4. Priced at $100, its a worthy investment compared to Bose systems.
5. The sound is rich with amazing bass and treble. Trust me, you wont regret buying it. Its the V-moda vibe earphones.

The Secret - Revealed

In the end, life turns out just fine.. no matter how hard you try to screw yourself.

So stop trying! :)

Saajnaa

Hai dil ko teri arzoo...
Par main tujhe naa paa sakoon...
Hai dil ko teri justajoo...
Par main tujhe naa paa sakoon...

Main hoon shab tu subah...
Dono jud ke judaa...
Main hoon, Lab tu Dua..
Dono jud ke judaa...
Saajnaa... Saajnaa... Mahiya... Saajna Ve...

Kayi khwaab dil, tujhko lekar sajaye...
Par khauff yeh bhi kahin per sataye..
'Gar yeh bhi toote tho phir, hoga kya re...
Mujhe raas aati hain, khushiyan kya re....

For all the fellow nocturnal souls out there..
Sleep is for the weak.. :)

There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
- Morpheus, The Matix

and so they fail to understand.. And my answer to them? A smile! coz' they ain't wearing my shoe, and they ain't walking my path.

Here's why am not focused fellas..

It's not me.. It's the technology. But alas, it's still me! :|

Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payed my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey Momma, look at me
I'm on my way to the promised land

I'm on the highway to hell
(Don't stop me)

And I'm going down, all the way down
I'm on the highway to hell

almost! :)

Any second could be the second.
  Rethink possible!

My Declaration of Self-Esteem!

I am me.

In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. There are persons who have some parts like me, but no one adds up exactly like me. Therefore, everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone choose.

I own everything about me -- my body, including everything it does; my mind, including all its thoughts and ideas; my eyes, including the images of all they behold; my feelings, whatever they may be -- anger, joy, frustration, love, disappointment, excitement; my mouth, and all the words that come out of it, polite, sweet or rough, correct or incorrect; my voice, loud or soft; and all my actions, whether they be to others or to myself.

I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.

I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.

Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts. I can then make it possible for all of me to work in my best interests.

I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know. But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for the solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.

However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is me. This is authentic and represents where I am at that moment in time.

When I review later how I looked and sounded, what I said and did, and how I thought and felt, some parts may turn out to be unfitting. I can discard that which is unfitting and keep that which proved fitting, and invent something new for that which I have discarded.

I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.

I own me, and therefore I can engineer me.

I am me and I am okay.


V. Satir, "A Goal of Living", ETCETERA, December 1970.

Just wondering.. how a small emoticon changes the expression! Take for example a simple everyday statement: what a day.

What a day! :*(
What a day! :(
What a day! :\
What a day! :s
What a day! :|
What a day! :)
What a day! :D
What a day! ;)
What a day! :3

Wanna add more meaning to it? Try adding a few precursors to the above statement: Ouch, Oooh, Aaah! Wanna have more fun? Use those in multiples..

:)

the most exciting new frontier is charting what's already here!
Look around..

past is where I might have gone wrong,
.. but future, is where I belong!

:)

want to break up? but afraid to do so? now you can..
just call an Allstate agent! :)
