"At first, when we truly love someone, our greatest fear is that the loved one will stop loving us. What we should fear and dread instead is that we won't stop loving them, even after they are dead and gone."
Had scoffed at the absolute corniness of the lines above when I had first come across them ... never realized that corny stuff too have the ring of familiarity at times..

Ugliest face of man - Betrayal

I dunno how it happens, but a whole day of American TV series viewing, leaves me with a strange yankee in-my-mind accent !! Something which I have finally realised today...
Happy Independence day people !! But, Im sorry to say I havn`t been quite my Swadeshi self today :(... Spent the whole day watching back to back episodes of Desperate Housewives... Okay, it isnt a crime I know, but I honestly dunno what it does to my speech , and that too the speech that goes on in my head !!
It happens like this - You know when ur jus talking to yourself, those things that u just say to yourself in ur head, they just start getting pronounced in a weirdly lilting yankee accent.Duh uh !! (u wud say..).But, it starts getting onto ur nerves when Marriage becomes Maeyridge , people become pheepul , can`t becomes Khaeyint ,angry becomes aeyngree , don`t become dhount ,nothing becomes nufink and so on .....
I truly, madly, deeply HATE fake accents !!
Just hope that I dont "think-aloud" and risk hating myself ..

Didn`t I tell u (awhhh ... I almost said Thell u ! :S ), that I just might be a wee bit weird ? ;) :D

"Tujhse naraaz nahin zindagi , hairan hun main,
Tere Masoom sawaalon se pareshan hun main .."

At last something to be proud of !
And what an overwhelming silent pride it is !!

May you spawn more of your race and may they live upto the composure you showed in your winning moments.


P.S ( for us , those who wanna rejoice but are hesitant; lest it appear frivolous, for God knows what reason )
Lets keep the congratulatory sarcasm aside for some time.
This ain`t the time for chest-beating (the familiar "why can't India win more?Just this one medal ??"), but a time for celebration ("this is how we do it! Let's go out and keep trying for some more.")

Discovered ..that there is a devil and an angel within me. The real challenge I`ve ever had in my 22 trips around the Sun.... has been to make these two love each other.

The struggle continues... Jus that it gets increasingly amazing and intriguing as I fast approach the end of my 23rd trip.

Will someone tell some people to shut their pretty mouths up, when they don`t have anything worthwhile to speak of !! It is absolutely okay, if they just sit in a corner n preen n let the others who do have some content to take the center-stage instead.

Honestly, Im amazed at the way few people just dont get it !! U keep throwing these hints at them "Sweetie, I think u have spoken all that ur pea-sized brain could conjure... Now its time to give that n ur pouty mouth some respite..Some people seem to have this weird notion, that they should just go on talking for the heck of it .. or wait , maybe they feel their admission to a B-school was on the basis of how well they had fooled the blissfully unaware panel with their hi-falutin words but soulfully-needy eyes "Please take me in , I promise I wont behave like the absolute moron dat Im doing right now".And now that they have actually made it here , they assume that it gives them a free-ticket to non-stop nonsense talk.Don`t they realise that they have jus then revealed their well-guarded-till-then airheaded self to the world.

It gets really queasy when u r in the company of this complete dim-wit of a 23-24 year old who just goes on and on and on over ridiculous topics which no one in the vicinity has much time to lend an ear to.But some people just dont seem to understand and keep on doing their highly ungraceful ballet amidst a cacophony of dumb dull words.

P.S Yeah , Im in a particularly exasperated mood.
Disclaimer : Im not a great talker myself, But I thank the great one above to have given me the minimum level of practical intelligence to understand when to speak what.And Am I grateful to him for that !!
