Hahaha.. This is so weird! I always choose to blog on a day that precedes a major test the next day.. maybe because I get bored of studying (?) [cuz That's the only time I study!]
Anyways, I dunno why am posting this.. but have already posted! All of today's posts are the snapshots of my 28th oct 2006's diary entry..

M I
Who am I to say, that you're wrong
Who am I to say, that you're weird
Who am I, to make you see things my way
Who am I, to make you forget to see things your way
Who am I, to force my experience on you
Who am I, to force your experience on me
Who am I, to make these statements
Who am I, to ask these questions?
"I" is nothing but a mortal word, that'll die with my death, burying my 'wrong'.. my 'weird'.. my 'way'.. my 'experience'.. my 'statements'.. in the distant inaccessible past
So..
Who am I, to ask these questions?
..as these questions will also be buried and lockep up in that very distant inaccessible past..

When will we bow down?
She had forgotten, the feel of the soil that lay beneath her feet
She had forgotten, that it even existed, all through the cold and the heat
So she bowed down, to forget the forgotton feeling
So she bowed down, to come for the "Ego's" healing
For now, that she's touched the soil
For now, that she's bowed down, to touch the soil..
She had forgotten, that it even existed, all through the cold and the heat
So she bowed down, to forget the forgotton feeling
So she bowed down, to come for the "Ego's" healing
For now, that she's touched the soil
For now, that she's bowed down, to touch the soil..
She knows, how to bow down
She know, what lays beneath her feet.. all through the cold and the heat..
(When will we bow down?)

10 Things
When you love someone, Recall and Memorise 10 things about them, So that some part of them always remains in your memory, even when are no longer with you.
This is what people keep saying in movies and recently heard it again in this movie called "Because of Winn Dixie" (Its a very Sweet movie)
Lately there have been things running in my mind :::: Some beautiful moments of joy locked up in past; Fear of losing something(one) I love; Self created Questions that are still unanswered; Words.. People.. Pets.. Places.. residing in my memory yet their physical existence seems so distant; Anger, at myself and some people. This is simply much more than one Mind can handle and comprehend (Am I reliving the past? No.. Please No)
There are many more things I wish not to reveal and give an in-depth description of sentances typed out above.
When you love someone, Recall and Memorise 10 things about them, So that some part of them always remains in your memory, even when are no longer with you.
I want to try this out, So here comes the List ::::
My Brother
1) My brother! oh.. He's the sweetest kid I know.. Right now in his 10th class! (Hmmnn.. Boards)
2) He has a very indifferent attitude towards everything futile in life, that helps him stay away from haunting emotions and always manages to stay in happy mood. (Not that he's not sentimental.. He actually cares about his sister's feelings)
3) He Hates playing CRICKET as much as he hates BIOLOGY! and god, He hates Biology!
4) Have to Admit that his wisdom is damn well ahead of his age. No doubt that he analyses every statement that needs thought (before speaking) and most of the time comes up with THE correct thing! Though he does crap a lot even when its not required (okay, nonsense is anyways never required!)
5) He's Extremely hilarious and has got a unique style of communicating his humour to his audience!
6) He's Extremely Fundoo and thanks to him, I get to learn so many things from him.. He once asked me what 'momentum' is but he didnt get satisfied by the answer he got (Neither was I.. I am a Bad Teacher)..
But I succeeded in explaining him the meaning of momentum after all, a few days after (that was satisfactory) Now I think I understand momentum better.. in fact I think, it is now that I think I understood momentum!
7) His teeth are not of this world! *Undergoing a Transformation now!
8) I love him a lot!!
9) He loves me a lot! Though never admits..
10) .................... [Endless list.. 10 points not enough]

I want to try this out, So here comes the List ::::
- Bruno
1) He was totally pure white with a few brown patches on his back and a Big one on his eye. He looked like a cute soft toy.
2) He dint like to eat at all, used to simply sleep or laze around in his 'home' all the time. He was one lazy rabbit who used to think that Hes the King of our home.
3) He was one over-spoilt and over-pampered rabbit. We literally had to cut cabbage and Carrots into thin slices and bring them upto his mouth so that he'd open his KINGLY mouth and snatch the food from our hands and let us have the honor of feeding it.
4) He thought that he's also a human, rarely exhibiting any of the rabbit qualities! (Or atleast we thought so) The funniest part is, he dint know how to Dig!
5) He was always there to accompany me in the middle of the night at an odd hour of 3 am. When the whole family used have a blissful sleep, both of us used to sit outside, in the balcony with Silence dominating the environment. He never failed to greet me at any point in his life span, always bubbling with his undying enthusiasm. (I miss him)
6) He hated to bath, always tried to escape those bathing sessions which we thought, he very much needed. He was rarely allowed inside the house because of his untidy habits.
7) Chantee (Abhinav) wanted to name him "Alchoholus" (God knows where he gets these names from!) but thankfully this name was voted out by us.. Phew! Thank god!!
8) He thought very highly of himself (had a lot of Headweight! Used to think that he can fight a Peacock).. Always wanted to do things that a rabbit isnt supposed to do.. Once he had a very narrow Escape (Mom saved him), That peacock almost pecked at his head when that stupid fellow was trying to dig it (Dig a Peacock?!). Thankfully mom saw his 'Courageous act' and saved him right at the right time.
9) I remember the first time he fell asleep, really psyched us all a lot.. What he did was, jumped a little bit up in the air (hmm.. gymnastics!) and landed on his side with his head resting on one of his 'hand's and eyes fully closed.. We thought that he died and came near him.. He woke up with a start (phew!)
10) Bruno was a sweetheart and he knew it! I love him a lot and am sort of missing his company a lot lately.
1) My brother! oh.. He's the sweetest kid I know.. Right now in his 10th class! (Hmmnn.. Boards)
2) He has a very indifferent attitude towards everything futile in life, that helps him stay away from haunting emotions and always manages to stay in happy mood. (Not that he's not sentimental.. He actually cares about his sister's feelings)
3) He Hates playing CRICKET as much as he hates BIOLOGY! and god, He hates Biology!
4) Have to Admit that his wisdom is damn well ahead of his age. No doubt that he analyses every statement that needs thought (before speaking) and most of the time comes up with THE correct thing! Though he does crap a lot even when its not required (okay, nonsense is anyways never required!)

From "SAC" to ...
A Solitary path leading to Realisation!!
Wow, Simply wow!
I was Cycle-less..
My friend said "Bye" to me while parking her cycle, ('cause she had to go in there to WORK) when we heard the Chowki scream "Arey, Cycle wahaan pe lagaao". Chowki.. what a fancy name.. BITSIANs sure have a funny naming system that's applied to each and every thing "living" and "non-living" in the premises of this campus!
BITS Chowkis really DO their jobs really well and It would really be a pity to see BITS, Pilani deviod of cycles!
I was Cycle-less..
It was around 6:30 pm when we exchanged "Byes" and these eyes started following the road from "SAC" to ...
Oh.. Anita mam?! Wow, Seeing her after a long time.. Doesnt it feel good to see your biology school teacher after a long time? She saw these eyes and said "Hi Shruti.. Kaisi ho? Kab aayi pilani? School ke baad toh tumhe dekha hi nahi".. She actually thought that I study somewhere else away from pilani.. then we talked about 2004 batchmates doing Physics honours and the current vidyapeeth's 12th class batch.
Ex-Teachers make you nostalgic and all the vidyapeethian school days dance before your eyes.. BUT Ex-teachers are really sweet after 12th class and its fun speaking to them after 2 long BITSIAN years!
I was Cycle-less..
"Bye Mam".. And these eyes saw dusk dawning on the Paschim marg where a few BITS students were jogging. Oh! So, this is road makes a part of their jogging track..
Wow.. these trees.. so pretty! hey we have gulmohars in here! (How come these eyes didnt notice them before?!)
A Tree, a house.. another tree, another house.. so many trees, so many houses!
Oh.. So, BITS students are health concious and BITS has hell lot of trees including Gulmohars! Since BITS has hell lot of trees, so it has hell lot of houses also (A Tree, a house.. another tree, another house.. so many trees, so many houses!)
I Was Cycle-less..
Hey, wow, this kid is looking so sweet.. A lil girl emerged out from the bushes covering the view of her house. These eyes kept on looking at her till she crossed the road and saw a few more Students jogging. Hmmnn.. It was getting a bit darker and the lamp-post there (near the "Paschim Marg" Sign board) did a good job of lighting the turning.
The eyes kept looking at the houses on the right side of the street wondering how the people living in them are so different : Maintain their house in a diferent way though each house has been constructed with the same architectural design. These eyes turnrd to the left only when people were seated outside their homes chatting or simply enjoying the dusk.
Hmmnnn.. These eyes tend to see only the right side of the street even though they are capable of turning 180 degrees to see the other side! Hmn.. Wow, isnt that a bit like the conditioning of mind wherein it sticks only to see in one direction, reluctant to see (forget accepting) in any other direction?
I Was Cycle-less..
Still looking at these houses, pondering about various things was really awesome. One of the house had Lampshades of various patterns and sizes, giving ambience to the nearby surroundings. It was very Pretty to see the constant shadows of the lampshades being disturbed by the shadows of the trees covering the front of the house. Everything was so Perfect that day.
It was A Walk of Rememberance.. It is A Walk to Remember
Its so strange to realise that we are always surrounded by beauty yet we fail to acknowledge it.. Inspiration, Motiation.... all lie well within the range of our sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing yet we get so self consumed in the world created by us, that we simply shrug off our shoulders when the beauty comes and sits on our shoulders. Everything is Perfect.. Everything is Beautiful!

Wonder + Land = Wonderland!
Wonder.. Land!
I once visited this land.. was unaware of its existence before.. but its right here, was right here and will be right here.. oh! how blinded I was!
Wonder..ful day :::: Clear blue morning sky, Unmanned road, Typical Pilani trees lining one bank of the road.. And that wonderful turn!
The turn that makes one cross "Birla Shishu Vihar's" main gate with junior Ist (equivalent to either KinderGarden high or Ist Class, I guess) class kids seated on the windows onlooking this road with curiousity.
The pleasant chatter amongst them, their childish and childlike enthusiasm, their enigmatic curious glittering eyes, the "bye didi.. bye didi" shouts packed with purely beautiful smiles.. How can they go unnoticed?
There, he was seated in the farthermost corner of the window with his beautiful smile, waving Goodbyes along with his classmates. I also waved at these kids and him, smiling, and shouting "Byee".
Wow! What a feeling! That cute kid, seated in the farthermost corner of the window, kept on smiling throughout, till another turn came. That Smile! That beautiful Real smile.. was simply breathtaking. I remember smiling, saying "bye" and looking, at them and that kid, all through the stretch of the road.
I know none of them. But I know, that, the kid's smile and the byes will never be forgotten
Pure Enigma!
And really..
Wonderland!
