Complexities Vs Simplicities ... of the mind!

This post is dated Sunday, 3rd May 2009 10:55am Goodbyes are always sad What can be happy about realizing that what you thought was your whole life was just a slice of the pie that, which was gobbled up by the cat last night and now all you're left with is its place on the plate. I hate when things disperse like pieces of paper pinned in different corners never to form a whole page again, of stories, moments and memories. As I turn the date wheel on my calendar I realise that the days gone by, though never forgotten will never come back A scary thought, it is kinda like beginning my life anew the difference being that this time, it won't comprise of YOU ! 11:07am Yesterday was the last day of life as I knew it and today is the first day of the rest of my life. I had my last practical exam yesterday, my last day in college and besides the odd hour before my viva in the morning the entire day was heavy like dust suspended in air. I know I'm prolly still gonna see my friends a...

Nowadays it seems like I only make my appearance here for Le-Titre... :P But then as the newsflash from my desk reflects, my sister is here in India for her 3 week long vacation after eons... 5 and a half years. I can't believe I hadn't seen her in that long. :) So that's whats keepin my busy... I have no intention of extending this hiatus any more than absolutely necessary. I'll come around to all ur places really soon. Ok without much ado here's my entry for this month's le-titre at Cuckoo's My favorite contents (coffee :D) in a tall glass. The other two close contenders follow... Tall order. Tall lights. Aren't they beautiful?

Its that time of the month again... Le- Titre time :) This time the theme was 'SELF' and honestly I've never clicked myself this much :P The result of my month long experiment with the cam, my official entry is : I'm in love with this pic, the light sepia tone and the lovely background plus the fact that I wasn't even plannin on clickin at the time makes it somewhat different . The ring in the pic is something that you'll find me wearing all the time... :) Some of the shots that lost out: My left earring (one of my favs :) )--> Haath mein kismat.--> Oh btw our class tshirts got printed... college is gonna end soon. I get all nostalgic just thinking about it. Time just flew... I'm so gonna miss all my friends and hanging out with em in college. Back View reads--> C ommitted to S crew E volution since '05 CSE for Computer Science Engineering Nalka genda phool :D I found this unusual and cute. PS: haath = hand kismat = fate nalka = tap g...

I know pretty paradoxical, but have you ever been so loaded with things to do that 'on paper' you barely have time to relax but yet you have so much time on your hand that you're bored to death? I can't find better words to explain whats goin on. I went through my entire blog list, caught up with pending posts and since it was a mammoth task to begin with, I took a break when I had just two blogs to finish (80 posts though). Now the break stretched long enough for my list to get populated again :( The problem here is that I can't really 'write' before I read so even though I want to write and be active here, its not happening. And I know I'm not makin much sense here but that's how it is. Anyways we had a belated housewarming get together kinda thing on 22nd Feb. Mum had organized a Sai Baba Keertan and dinner. 'Twas nice to have everyone over, and I quite enjoyed myself. Floating flowers at the entrance.--> Besides that I've been swingin...

Okay for this month's Le-Titre @ Cuckoo's I was very confused, infact I still am... I really like both these pictures and it was hard to choose one for my entry. This was when my brother and my sister in law were leaving for their honeymoon, I clicked a bye bye pic but bhaiya moved at the last moment. The result looks really cool. And this one is from the night of yummy mcveggie :P I think it looks like someone lit fire in it. After a lot of thought, I've decided that this is gonna be my entry for this month's Le titre . In other stuff, I get completely lost sometimes. Well this is what happened, one of my friends sent me a really nice wallpaper for Valentine's so after I downloaded it, clicked on "Set as Desktop Wallpaper" to see how it looks. Then I wanted to revert back to the one I previously had and I just couldn't remember what it was. I had to go through my entire picture folder to finally figure out which one of em was my wallpaper mere minute...

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...
