The aftermath of a cupidone

मेरे हाथ में तेरा हाथ हो,
सारी जन्नते मेरे सात हो,
तू जो पास हो फिर्क्या यें जहाँ,
तेरे प्यार में हो ज़ाहूं फनाह...

Many people walk into your life and many out of it. But only a few leave their footprints on the memories of sand and are never washed away by the tides of time. Nothing, no matter what, can remove them from your memory. Even if you force yourself to erase it, its all but a feeble attempt. Like scrapping snow off your doorstep on a cold snow white winter day. Oh yes, its tough work. I have ploughed and ploughed, scarped and scraped. But there was no way I could prevent snow from piling up in a couple of hours. Just because it keeps coming back, would you stop cleaning your doorstep. It would certainly sound ludicrous and even preposterous to do so.

Am I happy about this? or sad? or would I prefer to sit on the fence?

Happy? Happy for what? That I have to pain myself into this arduous monotonous task.
Sad? Oh should I be sad even when I know very well that it was and is the right thing to do. A necessary thing almost like a fundamental duty.
Sitting on the fence, good idea ehh? It aint. Prefer falling like Humpty-Dumpty down to one side of the fence.

Which side would it be? When will I fall? Would the fall hurt?
I aint know it bro, I aint.

New Year Fever: is it required?

2008 goes and a new year '2009' comes. Time for new aspirations, new apprehensions, new beginnings (of course, beginnings have to be new :P). Everybody is enthusiastic to get a  new perspective of life and get deeper and more satisfying pleasure from it. No matter how bad or good the passing year has been, one always looks forward for the oncoming year with great vigour and expectation. 

And then you party around the whole of 31st night, eating into the morning of 1st as well. You send greeting cards, e-cards, e-mails, sms and other things jamming the servers of the all important electronic communication. Then you go around the next week wishing each and every guy or gal whom you think you might have some remote acquaintance. Do you bother to remember who all wished you or if thats too tedious do you atleast remember whom you have  wished. Ok not all, atleast say some 60-70% of them.

So you dont remember most of this wishing business, then why do we do it? Is it a trend? a culture? a nuisance? Junta these day spend a lot of money over this occasion of new year on a variety of things. Spending it on family vacations, clothes, etc are all great but whats the point in partying like as if the world's gonna end tonight, getting so drunk that you cant differentiate between a spoon and a vodka stirrer.  Then you are all suffering from a hangover on the first day of this new year where you wanted to turn over a new leaf.

Hey hang on, before you start thinking I m  some sort of a sadist and againist new year celebrations; its just that I want each one of you, who celebrate it to reason out why you do it. We wish each other mainly because we hope with all our fingers crossed to have the courage and determination to face the coming year for ourselves. Each person who wishes us increases our confidence in facing the future challenges. We party, spend money like water, pamper ourselves with goodies only to increase the 'feel-good' factor. Man is a very optimistic charcater. He builds around himself trenches of hope, faith and goodwill to batter the tides of failure, bad luck and deriliction.

So at last, I hope my intention has become clear to you. Enjoy the new years as they come by, but also know why one celebrates them. Cherish those special moments, drive away the times that have let you down and face the future with hope and a clear mind. And you will never be looking down again.

HangOver

Well its been over a month since I posted something. Not that I was very busy or something... just became ill. Ill, yes; the cause- gaming hangover but to put it more correctly entertainment hangover.

!!!!!!!!!! surprised? well nothing much to be surprised off.

Had been gaming quite a lot after my quizzes got over. Some really stud games like Crysis and DMC 4. It always happens so. You know after you play stud games all other games look so mediocre and sometimes even stupid and irritating. And to worsen the case I had been watching the sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S and that too ended about nearly the same time. 10 seasons of pure hilarious laughter. Watching it at 2 or 3 in the morning; laughing like a madman when your wingmates (almost, not all though) are sleeping.
So with all the best things coming to an end I was feeling really bored. Hmmm not bored... you can say emotionally empty after finishing the high adrenaline games and a very senti finish off in Friends. With all this happening I was in no mood to blog. Except, except for now. The reason - cause its exam time. The best time when your brain starts dreaming and finds N number of ways to vile away time. I dont know but most so called scholars say thats because you dont have good concentration. But I say its because you are feeling tensed, you are unsure if your studying well.

Best remedy... well take a break. Dont do what you normally do in your so called breaks like watching TV or playing games like me. Spend sometime in open air or somewhere you relatively feel calmer and relax. Think over what you have mugged and make a strategy how you gonna finish the rest of the stuff.

Well guys, its time for me to mug as well. This is all the time I had to blog (The game I was installing is ready :P). So next time we meet, these damn end sems will be in the past.

Au revoir !! Dont give up, Put FIGHT!!
