Complexities Vs Simplicities ... of the mind!

30th January 2009 4:35 am मेरी हँसी मुझे लौटा दो वापस कर दो मेरी खुशी आख़िर कब तक मैं यूँही ज़िन्दगी से रूठी रहूंगी ? अब खामोशी का क्या है मकसद? मैं जवाब माँगती हूँ... कुछ तोह कहो, कड़वा ही सही दिल मेरा सह लेगा फिर से... The first hindi post on my blog, funny i didn't know how to use transliteration before :P PS: More published - Read my science arti here and Durjoy 's interview here .

What do you do when you've invested your money somewhere and that stock is giving you a bad return? You either hang in there hopin that things might get better and you will recover your losses in the future or you withdraw and invest elsewhere where you're sure u'll get better returns, at least short term. Now relate this basic financial logic to life and you get what I call the 'emotional finance' theory. Ideas brainchild of my conversation with Raghav, my cousin. When we make friends, form relationships we mostly expect to be able to bank on it. We actually make an emotional investment in all of our relationships subconsciously hopin that it'll pay back someday. Nah don't shake your head, u know you expect your friends to be there whenever you need them, don't you? Investing emotionally could be closely analogous to trusting someone. My ' thought allocation ' theory states that majority of our relationships are imbalanced. But sometimes this im...

Appended to Penwork 21st Jan 2009, 12:13am Picture a well, once full of water, the source of life... many gathered around to share their hopes and joys, their fears and sorrows; now all dried up drained, empty and hollow with nothing to offer only memories for nostalgic fools nothing to celebrate nothing to experience nothing to cherish Resigned to fate the well ponders... Someone must end this numb existence someone must fill it up with water, with love. 12:23am PS: Something about the well analogy really intrigues me.

Just some random clicks that preserve moments. Enroute to the place that makes me smile. Something I like to call 'Violent brushstrokes'. Kinda mirroring Life! First day of the Last Sem... made pretty :) Today's Pics: Monday Morning without the blues ! :) The sun in the evening, made me feel a lil less alone. Solitary bloom... invitingly beautiful. Safe and happy in togetherness. Oh and I had almost forgot, this is my entry to Cuckoo's Le Titre this time. Outside the auditorium in BITS Pilani, my most memorable trip. PS: Two more of my articles got published. Read my travelogue here and the other one here .

31st Dec 08 3:25am "The thread" Small but important lean but powerful the thread difficult and intangible when all knotted up an incredible support when circled all around You are the thread in my life You tie and keep me together And I fall apart like wreckage when you're not around Tie around me a permanent knot so you can't escape and I'm always secure. 3:30am 15th Jan 09 1:36am "Bring it on" I dare you to make me cry I dare you to break me down I dare you to crush my pieces I dare you to ruin my peace I dare you to make me bleed I dare you to test my patience I dare you to forget me I dare you to kill me everyday Go ahead, bring it on! 1:40am PS : Happy New Year everyone... :) Oh and btw I got published !! :D No No not a book, just an article, please read here .

There again I was busy getting bored outta my head when I didn't absolutely have to study for my exams, watching movies, reading silly romance novels back to back, maybe coz atleast there I'm guaranteed a happy ending... all this while I really should have been getting back to the place I love... here !! Okay obviously all of u have noticed the url change and the fact that you weren't informed immediately... well lets just say that I couldn't afford to be discovered that easily anymore. I've got loads of stuff to say, about whats been happenin in my life but its just a lil too overwhelming to spill that much information so I'm gonna go slow... The MOVE referred to in "Dos" didn't happen on 20th Oct, it got postponed to Wednesday, 22nd and thats when I realised that exactly nothing goes according to plan when you have every reason to believe it will. Murphy's law at its best in live demonstration! Something I penned on 18th, the same day the in...

Un I wasn't sure if I was even gonna be able to make time to go but I did... and went to the NSIT fest with my friends today. And guess what? I flew...:) One of the events that was happening at this fest was Para sailing except that I didn't get to fly over a water body, 'twas a soccer field instead. I was very indecisive before doin this, ummm no I wasn't scared but a tad bit nervous... I just wanted to do it right and not have like a terrible fall, or fail to lift off the ground and embarrass myself in front of my friends. Thankfully none of that happened and I managed just fine... infact I even was told later by the instructor, the guy driving the jeep that I did pretty well :)... {Oh I have to tell you about him, he was wearing a pale pink tee, had some kinda moisturiser lotion applied liberally on his face... prolly to protect his 'delicate' and 'sensitive' skin from the wrath of the afternoon sun, had this oh-so-urban accent and threw his hands ar...
