Life

Is like an eagles song...

You just sit there on stage, with people u like and people who have hurt you and people who might be strangers....

You are clearly made aware of what you are supposed to do....You will also find yourself at different places playing different roles, sometimes without a guitar, in front of a piano, with a chika chika in ur hand (The instrument which makes "chick chick" sound)...

And you are supposed to do your bit and focus on it only... Singing an F# note ONLY is ur job for next 10 seconds...Why cant you just do that?!
Your neighbor's responsible for strumming her Em chord and singing the lead...Another is doing his chorus part... Don't bother about them....

Eventually, you would like to create a nice looking piece... And if the harmony is lacking, its only shown quite glaringly... Its just one big rehearsal I guess...Sometimes, it comes out nice and u feel high... Sometimes, the dissonance is in ur face...

(Note to self : Are you aware that you're still talking?!)

Overheard...

Ah those halcyon days when we used to be naive!

And the type of concerns we used to have were "How many ppl did this company pick last time they visited the campus?"
or
"Why does this bloody lift not work!?!"
or
"He's been givin me some rather friendly smiles nowadays...I hope its MY hand thats brushing against my thigh now!" ( Err... hee hee)

This is the story of life on the other side! When we no longer gawk at experienced "working" guys, but watch mere mortals gawk at us!

Lay Man pretending to have knowledge (LMPTHK) : "So neenu yen software baritya?" ("What software do you write?"...A humdinger indeed!)
Soft engineer : (Silence) "Andre?"

LMPTHK : Andre, systems side o application side o?? ("I mean, systems side or applications side?! " Now this is a tricky one...You would've seen two answers bein fed to this tough question...One involves high deceit, a swindling of such high order that u leave the questioner dazzled by ur choice of words and "knowledge")

Soft Engineer : (Silence) "Andre?" (Thankfully the sane answer!)

LMPTHK : Andre........ (Lay Man Kernel Panic....say something smart...no say something!...anything will do...Just words are enough...OH MY GOD this is the longest anybody hasn't spoken! :D ) ... Adhe Drivers....

After this I stopped following the conversation...Not before I heard something like "No...no drivers...mainly application side" or something like that from the polite Soft Engineer :)

Lucid Tigers

A lucid dream is a dream in which the person is aware that they are dreaming while the dream is in progress. In lucid dreams, it is often possible to exert conscious control over the dream characters and environment, as well as to perform otherwise physically impossible feats.

Well, what if you experienced this phenomena in a dream where you can "feel" a fully grown tiger's breath on ur right cheek, in a dingy room? Of course ur comrades are as petrified as you are...Doesn't matter...You are closest to its jaws...Its analyzing ur right profile...It sees the yummy cheeks, the ears and other body parts it is gonna relish shortly...And you are looking ahead, away from its eyes, willing it to move away, exerting all possible mental power on its mind to NOT start licking you...

Was very much sweating when that scene was over!

When you look at yourself from a universal standpoint, something inside always reminds or informs you that there are bigger and better things to worry about. ( :O )
-- Albert Einstein, The World as I See It.

Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example. ( :D )
-- Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894)

I can forgive Alfred Nobel for having invented dynamite, but only a fiend in human form could have invented the Nobel Prize. ( :P )
-- George Bernard Shaw

(C)HUCHCHU

God is a funny guy....
(God does have a sense of humor)

Maybe he thinks some people don't deserve to see...
(Hoo...huhh!)

If You're doing this to have some fun at my expense, ...... not funny....

Extreme love

How do you handle an unexpected spasm of extreme love??

Anger?
Frustration?
A smile? (masking the pressure within)
Crying?
Jealousy?
Freakin out!?

I think I witnessed many such instances today...where people haven't been able to control their excessive love for another person...BELIEVE me, if 50 yr olds dont know how to handle it, then other much younger ppl failing is no big deal :)

But do they realise that they are running out of time??

And oh.... Leopards have rings and cheetahs have spots! :)

Its another tequila sunrise
Starin slowly cross the sky, said goodbye


Every night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And shes out runnin round

She wasnt just another woman
And I couldnt keep from comin on
Its been so long

Oh, and its a hollow feelin
when It comes down to dealin friends
It never ends

Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb

Pure Fiction!

Femme Fatale : Hi...u there?

Femme Fatale : This is *censored* from VHS...remember??


(Flashback music........)

Its a routine day in class...The same old stuffy classroom, the same old guys sitting in the same old bench....

One boy wasn't feelin very well though...You see, when you've entered your teens, there's this tingly wingly feeling in the pit of your stomach...And this poor boy had been sadly baited by this angel with a fair complexion, the most beautiful of brown eyes, a mellifluous voice that could stall him completely in his path, and hair as long and luscious as ... as... Sigh! (High restraint exercised not to carry on describing...)

And the reason was that, his cronies were threatening him with a pardaa faash! They were gonna tell the angel of all the feelings that he harbored for her, try to explain to her the tangle of emotions that arose in him many times when he saw her or heard her... And all this in that highly risky time DURING class, when the teacher had his back to the class, scribbling away to glory on the board!!

What was being written and taught meant little to our protagonist...The time had come! To meet glory or to suffer humiliation!! Which was it gonna be...whats she gonna say?!?! The suspense was killing... He bravely cathces her eye as soon as she is told that "he has a crush on her"...........

She mutters a curse under her breath and shakes her head in disgust......


(Notices messenger window blinking and wakes up from his reverie)

Boy : Hi!.... *censored* from F section right??..........
