Kabhie Kabhie

..i am surrounded by people yet feel lonely.
..i am alone and yet dont need people around me.
..the smallest silliest thing makes me smile and laugh.
..the funniest of things fail to amuse me.
..im so angered that the silence replaces the outburst.
..i just endup shouting only to break the silence.
..i cry at the smallest thing that hurts me.
..i dont shed a tear even when something grave happens.
..i am impatient despite knowing everything will take its own time.
..i happily wait for the game to turn my way.
..i crib about everything around me.
..i am satisfied that everything around me is the best I can have.

and in between all of these things runs through my life. Each day at a time like a long windind road. Yet in that maze of life, with all those turns, I tend to get lost, but only if I get lost; I can find my way and myself.

Till then, as Johnny says - Keep Walking!

Hangover

Im not talking about the head-throbbing, stomach-churning kind of hangover that keeps you in bed with the blinds shut all day. But a hangover without alcohol. And it manifests in more than one way. This week has been a potent concoction of lots of things. The resultant is a BIG hangover.

Diwali is done and over with this year. Ive been a safai karamchari of sorts working overtime cleaning every nook and corner of the house on mom's instructions. Some repair work at home. Shopping for gifts. Visitng relatives and friends and then friends and relatives coming over. Read: Frenzy. Fatigue. Exhaustion. Its a sleep hangover, I think.

Met M and spoke on phone after what you can call an era. Ofcourse, a lot of water had flown down the river and things happened since we last talked. What followed was an information overload for I guess both of us. Read: Anaesthetic. Nostalgic. Peaceful. Its a emotional hangover, I think.

All night NINE hour conversation with K left me pleasantly tired and yet smiling. A good quantity and quality of candid conversation that I generally cant have with many people. I guess people make conversations to make what they feel more meaningful. Read: Platonic. Intense. Therapeutic. Fulfilling. Its a conversational hangover, I think.

Hangover from a heady cocktail,without a single drop of liquor. And it really is possible. And it can leave you in a pleasant happy high state just like you know what ;) and now that I've vomitted it out here, Im feeling even better :)

Cheers!

The "One"

Cant sleep tonight. Somedays they say - are just made for thinking. Welcome to today.I dont know whether it comes from being a Cancer - but dark skies make me wonder.I think like most water signs - that is from the heart.

Life can be pretty darn tough sometimes. Some say its simpler than simple. Everyday I walk into the unknown - with some set notions about what I know - rather what I think I know. Everyday doesnt get over. But I still question one thing. Everyday!!

How does one know?? How does one know that 'he' is the 'ONE'? what if you don't end up marrying the 'ONE', instead you end up marrying the other one. Then is the other one the 'ONE'?

Someday somebody's gonna ask you
A question that you should say yes to
once in your life
- Rhett Miller

And I need to know if he's the "ONE" to say yes. I wish it was as simple as making up an equation with all variables and ending up with x = HIM. How do you know when you have found the right person with whom to share the rest of your life? Will some bells ring? or some kind of akaashvani?

Probably there is a way. And thats tough to follow. One needs to be honest about the feelings, it is impossible to just “know” whether someone may be the right one for you. One needs to trust the gut feeling and intuition. Our intuition only strengthens and develops and echoes time and again when we make decisions and become more sensitive to our feelings. Sometimes, it takes the right timing to just know.

I read somewhere, Once in your life, if you are lucky you will meet a person who will divide life between the time before and after!

who, what, when, where, how....are questions time will answer. Till then im hoping he's just round the corner and i'l KNOW that its him and i can shout out to him, Hey You, Its YOU!!!

And hopefully its love and laughter happily ever after :)

Inglorious Basterds

5 Reasons to watch this one

1) Brad Pitt. Eyeballs from females, who normally stay away from gore and violence.
2) A Quentin Tarantino direction who has pulp fiction and Kill Bill as previous works.
3) Great WWII drams. Its Bloody, Mean and Nazi obliterating, Jewish Revenge Fantasy.
4) Amazing music, soundtrack and the background scores.
5) Again amazing dialogues. It keeps you gripped, there is use of 5 languages in the movie, and yes subtitles are available.

Enough said. Go watch it and tell me how you liked it??

My Rating = 9/10. It indeed is that good.

P.S. No Typo. The Basterds is spelt with an 'e'.
