Cute

I just love this pic a lot. The sweet innocent smiles that intoxicate the whole atmosphere, I wonder if the same imapct can be reproduced by people living in my age. I have seen my grandpa laugh, exact replica of a little girl whom I met yesterday, barely 3 feet tall, barely 3 years old. It was sweet the way she shot her up hand when her dad told her "didi ko hello bolo beta". Her hands so tiny and sweet to touch. And the way she smiled...

... it was out-of the world... it was Cute

A True Fact!

This happens in Bangalore too!
And I thought, I perhaps might have imagined!

:D

Wow, Never knew that talking with a friend could bring a smile on the face! After a long long time (maybe 2 months), talked with Sonali, and wow! It was fun!
I don't know, if I would have cared somebody telling me that us talking made them smile or lifted up their spirits (I actually believe that I have an inborn talent for putting people into depression). But now, I feel great on hearing that from my friend! As a matter of fact, talking with her has made me smile too! These days I feel nice when people I care about, don't get bored in my company (I soooo very much hope they don't). Before, I never used to make any efforts to cheer anyone up (let's face it, I am incapable of doing that), but now feels that: firstly, its not about cheering anyone up, its more like being natural with them; and secondly, it doesn't require efforts. If it does, then its a forced satisfaction, perhaps not natural.
I don't know what's happening, but these days I am pretty satisfied (project aside! I wonder if my guide thinks that I am an alien (to this whole new world for me) with no brains who landed in IIA (or maybe on Earth) by mistake. But he's cute anyways, very tolerant. I wonder how could anyone be so patient with me. I am sure I drive him nuts with my insane (il)logic. But whatsoever, am enjoying!). Here I sit, staring at this 19" hp 9500 monitor nonstop and hearing my fingers type. Heck (I don't really know what that word means), shouldn't I be elsewhere, say like mathematica? :D

Yeah, I was at "am pretty satisfied". Feels like am smiling more, talking more (hell, a lot), eating a lot more (i guess "gorging" is a better word), and yeah, am happy :D

Hehe, Still thinking about what all we talked today! That's confidential of course ;)

I don't care, if this doesn't make any sense. Hell, its fun to feel stupid! I am feeling soo stupid [If you (I dont know who) respond with a "you are", I bloody don't care]. I confessed something to Sonali today, of a feeling that I always buried deep inside. So deep that I even forgot that it existed. What to do, I was scared. Perhaps still am. But just feels nice to know that somebody knows how I feel. That somebody being, a friend of mine. About something that I always was proud of, for not having. But realised, I possess it too. The grave was dug to make me feel different, or perhaps to keep it from hurting me. But, now its been dug out of its R.I.P and strangely it doesn't seem all that scary anymore! After all, I ultimately am one of "us".
Sonali, you're a pet. :)

Whatever, :D :D :D

Hasta la vista baby!

Incoherent thoughts

:> Here I sit, waiting for my mind to make up its mind to finish off the work as soon as possible
:> Here I sit, listening to "everything" over and over again
:> Here I sit, staring at this 19" hp 9500 monitor nonstop and hearing my fingers type
:> Here I sit, feeling my feet get colder and numb-er with each passing moment
:> Here I sit, looking at the teeny weeny board work I did today
:> Here I sit, thinking about what I am not, what I don't have, and what all I've not achieved yet (okay, not achieved anything, but then...)
:> Here I sit, realizing that I've become a part of this set of inanimate pieces of wood and metal (furniture) surrounding me
:> Here I sit, wishing for something to move the maddening silence
:> Here I sit, to feel what it feels like to feel alive (yeah, yeah, lifehouse)
<: Here I sit

Counting Crows

Colorblind

I am color...blind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am
taffy stuck, tongue tied
Stuttered shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am...fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding
I am
colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am...fine
I am.... fine

PS: was searching for this song, and stumbled upon this. Thanks Harini!

Speed

Never knew that I could run so fast,
On feeling something that for long doesnt last
Just at a single fleeting sight,
You give me a ride packed with fright!

PS: Is it just for the Eagle that swoops down in my direction and then glides back up, its total flight following a parabolic curve? Naah! :)

Home

Its been three days since I've come to bengalooru. I was hoping for a single room and got a little disheartened to know that I'll have to share the room alloted to me with another girl. The reason was perhaps I've never shared my space with anyone yet, and was wondering if my habits would be an unnecessary bother to her [Sleep late + a very slow eater (I make her wait soo much :(...)]. Was quite apprehensive as to whether I'll be able to adjust(?). I guess, something new always has apprehensions attached to itself and those apprehensions will dissolve only once we enter the situation anticipated and actually live it. And now, realized that Paru (Parameswari) is a great roommate. She is so very much different from me. It's just so funny (in a nice way) to be with a person almost the whole day and come to know of the different possibilities that exist in the small world that we tend to create around us. The possibilities though they always exist, strike as something new and I guess its nice to open upto them.

I sense a new kind of freedom here. As in, the things that I was afraid to do back there in Pilani, am not scared to do it here. One thing being, gazing at the night sky without involving myself in any kind of analysis as to why or what... and what's more, without anyone putting restrictions on me, its great! Its just a great feeling to stretch out freely and graze my eyes across the sky. I noticed that Orion constellation is oriented in the same way as it is in pilani. I remembered the convo I had with Nisha a few sems back. We'd gone for a walk that day and i was showing her the same constellation. It was so silly, the way we were tracing out ORION in the sky. It was fun though, being silly. And now, the night at the terrace, I felt so close to my home. As if, I was looking at the sky from my own town. Great feeling it was.

It sometimes feels like such a small world this is. You just climb up the heights and everything seems closer, distances shrink. Altitude, its a funny thing. It's fun to go higher and higher... moving away from what we know (or atleast think we know) and getting closer to what we perhaps dont and which some of us want to. Perhaps something similar to getting a high? I dont know.

Anyways, I should be gone by now.
Bye bye blogspot for today (though there is so much i want documented)!
