Well....that's pretty much it... :)

War of the worlds


We all live in our own worlds... worlds completely real and unique to ourselves...
Our own perceptions... our own interpretations... our own thoughts... feelings... associations... phenomena...
criteria... feats... defeats...

You don't need psychosis for your reality to be different than others' !
How many times is it that a bunch of people stuck with a problem are actually dealing with the same thing?


Conflicts among people are may be just conflicts of realities....
And there is no deciding who's really real!
No one wins in this war of worlds...

Do you know about the time when the Sky professed his love to the Earth?

The Earth too proud to become one with the sky and too intimidated by the enigma that the Sky was, turned her back and said, "All that I see is you. And yet, you seem so distant. How can I be yours when you can't even touch me?"

Those words thundered in the Sky's head like anything... He thought and thought all through the day.
And just as he was about to give up and admit that it was never going to happen,
he looked around to see that the Sun had gone... the stars had come up... and everything just...fit!

For once, the Sky decided to give the Earth everything he had always wished to give her...
For once... the Sky decided to let go...


People say it rained all through that night...!

Why do people mix up intelligence with the ablity to think (isolated)?
And shouldn't a sound thought process fabricate sound morals???
Does it have to be that difficult to know good from bad??

Moral greys are highly over rated!

My exams started today...well...not really...compulsary english doesn't count...but still...

An hour before I had to leave.... it got all grey and gloomy and rainy outside... I love it when that happens...
it reminds me of the enchanted ceiling in Harry Potter...
of the last monsoon when I first saw You've got mail which I still can't get over...
of the first time when I had gone out for high school shopping...and all the subsequent school stuff shopping sprees (whoa! and I thought i'd never use alliteration...)after that..

of the time when I was in 6th and me and my best friend had come home walking in knee deep water...
of that one stormy night we spent in our waterproof tent in manali...
of the first time when I had realized what it was like to be in Fergusson when it rained...

of the time when I had gone to Mulshi two years ago with the dearest ones... it was just the same grey sky... which reflected in that still lake... which reflected on Anand's face...

I spent the morning thinking about all the monsoons that had come and gone... all the monsoons that had witnessed all my holidays and new school years....



I just couldn't get my mind back on the 11 o'clock- compulsary english- paper!!!!


What??
It never rains during exams!
:-)

Have you seen Road To Perdition????
It's an AWESOME AWESOME movie!!

I saw it like...months ago....
but I still can't stop wondering...
What did Michael Sullivan write to his son in that letter??

Being Chanandeler Bong...

You know what I mean...
It's like when you become aware of your voice while singing...
You know the song perfectly well...you've been singing it for years now... people have praised you n all... it's just your best!
But the moment you realize that the you are the one controlling those vibrations coming out of your throat...
...you seem to lose all control!

It's the same when you know that being funny is your thing! Of course it is! You know you can crack ANYONE up! All your testimonials say how 'fun' you are 'to be with'!!!
And then...comes this guy... He's perfect! It's like you created him yourself! Well...when someone is nice to you it's only good manners to be nice in return! And when someone is so damn charming...you obviously want to be the loveliest person on earth!! (Just good manners!)

Those bells in you heads start ringing... 'Hah! Easy! You know what to do... Just throw in some charm...some sarcasm...some innocence... some wit...some flirting...and BAM!!
You-are-hillarious!!! It's your thing after all!'

So...someone introduces you...
He says, 'Hi!'
You say, 'Hey'
He smiles...
You smile....
'How are you?', he asks.

(How...Are...You???
What do you mean how am i? I'm funny you idiot!
But I can't say that!!! D'uh!!
Wait... I'll show you instead!)








......only... there's nothing to show...!


Nope! There isn't a single witty reply to 'How are you'!
What are the odds?!
(and why do moments of realization come at such difficult times??)



....okay... That's not the end of world... you could always answer with a 'fine!'
...naah... that'd be too obvious!
'Good!'....is too vanilla!
'Great!'.... ah! you don't wanna tell a lie for your first answer!
And great is certainly not how i feel!
I feel miserable ...that's how I feel!


Wait!!!!...so... now I don't have an answer AT ALL???
That can't be true!!
'How are you' is like the easiest question EVER!!!
And you can't pass on this one!!!
Quick! Quick!! Quick!!! QUICK!!!!!
You cannot take that long!!
Just say the first thing that comes to your mind...!!!

well....?????

... "I don't like how straight my hair is..."

Great!!!
See? That is exactly why your parents tell you not to talk to strangers!!!

Now I've lost the guy forever!
I FEEl stupid!!!
And 'being funny' isn't my thing anymore...
Not KNOWING how to be funny is my new thing!!!

God!
No wonder chandler said, 'Gum would be perfection!'
