Ohkay- Lets Play a COOL game..

Suddenly he'd looked at the clock and said ,"Are there matinées today in the theaters?"

The Gene Pool...

No, I am not talking about a pool at Gene Hackman's house. ( Why would I even be interested to talk about... Gene)

You all have heard of genes (NOT JEANS), the one that make us, you know chromosomes etc. Yeah I am talking science, not Hollywood OR fashion.

So, when I was conceived, then, the cells decided to merge in such a way that I more like my mom. You see, I have her features, like, my hair, I always butt long hair like my mum before I got em cut to waist length. I have her height, yeah that means I am lil short in height. I have her temper.

And, my dad gave me most of the intellectual aptitude and the gene's for premature graying of hair.

Can you imagine, my mother still doesn't have to colour her hair, and I have atleast three strands in my hair that stand up like my head is a freaking fort with a flag that needs to be waved. :(

This completely sucks, as if I was not depressed about getting older each year, now I have to deal with gray hair also...!!!

*******************************************

On a more serious note, all those who have seen Paa, do you all remember how Vidya Balan describes Auro's illness, you know about the AT's and the GC's... here is an interesting fact, we all have the same chromosomes, that is the reason why we have two eyes, one nose and basically the same structure, but there is something that is different in EACH of us, yeah, that is why I am what I am and you are what you are.

Even nature knew the importance of the 'difference' that each one of us has. And, whenever I see someone supremely talented on television or otherwise, I sit and wonder, wow, God has gifted him with sooo much of oozing talent, and at the same instant I realise, that I am special too. I am special in my own way. And, even though I am not famous, even though I cannot dance like I pro, or Sing or make music, I have what it takes for people close to me to love me.

And, if you don't love me, oh yeah you are missing out on something, so freaking important in your life, knowing me.

The truth is that, this attitude has started to develop in me. And, it is a great experience to know yourself, to understand how much I can appreciate myself and be happy about it. We are totally living in a world where humility is no where to be found, where being humble about your own abilities mean that you do not know anything.

I learnt this lesson over so many years, and I am learning it till now.

It is not important to be what others want you to be, but it is VERY important to know yourself and to believe in what you are.

This Moral lecture was for my own welfare, but ofcourse you all are most welcome to utilise this advice!!! :P

Pyaar tera Dilli ki sardi...

I'm standin' on the bridge
I'm waitin' in the dark,
I thought that you'd be here, by now.
Theres nothing but the rain,
no footsteps on the ground,
Im listening, but there's no sound.

Isn't anyone tryin' to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home.


It's a damn cold night,
Tryin' to figure out this life,
Won't you take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new,
I don't know who you are but I,
I'm with you.
I'm with you.

I'm lookin' for a place,
I'm searchin' for a face,
Is anybody here I know,
Cause' nothin's goin right,
And everything's a mess,
And no one likes to be alone.

Isn't anyone tryin' to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home.


It's a damn cold night,
Tryin' to figure out this life,
Won't you take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new,
I don't know who you are but I,
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
Ya eah

Oh, why is everything so confusing,
Maybe I'm just out of my mind,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah


It's a damn cold night
Tryin to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but I,
I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but
I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
Don't know who you are but I,
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you

Song personifying my life...!!! I though I'd share it with you all..!! Its by Avril Lavigne...

Shayon wrote a post for Us...

And, I am totally freakily touched.

My stupid boyfriend has a way of giving me a surprise outta the blue.

Guys and gals, check his latest post- And, tell me how lucky am I.

I love you sweetheart...

The mush factor...

Falling in love was one thing that I had anticipated from the time I started understanding hindi movies (I was not allowed to watch English flicks, I still am not, with my parents around) and then came the books, the Fairy tales always had the Prince Charming rescuing the damsel in distress, stuck in the tall tower.

Ofcourse, later I graduated to more mature matter, where there was love, but of a different sort.

And, finally when I did find love (that was after I believed, that I had found 'The One' almost 3 times before) it was completely unexpected. Yeah, I mean, who falls in love with the words first and then the writer... ohkay I think that is what happens actually.

It has not been a fairy tale at all. As a matter of fact, I am mostly distressed coz of him (not that I mind that!) but yeah, it is love. And surprisingly, this was not the fate that I had anticipated for us... I was a cynic and had been in love before, only not to be loved back.

In almost lil over a month- Shayon and I complete five years of being together. And, I have already said this a zillion times before that I can still feel my first kiss right here in my heart. Oh, and as the ritual has it, we will most probably end up having an argument on that day, but then, duhu, that is the way we are.

We have grown to love each other by accepting the different people that we are, and that is what have made us stick together I guess.

You know, what I am really trying to say- is that, it is always great to know that there someone, who cares, beyond all boundaries of how you look, how much you earn, and whether you fart after dinner or not. And it took me 19 years to find that someone.

I love you Sweetheart...

PS: I have no clue, why this post came up.

Trending Topic...

For all of you, who are familiar with twitter I am sure that you all are aware of the 'Trending Topics'... well here is a lil gyan then for you all, these are topics which are mostly talked about in the tweet world.

And in my little world- the Trending topic is- Sakshi ki Shaadi...

And well, really, its not funny anymore... this whole fundu topic me getting married started when I was fourteen (yeah, thank God I belong to a family of advocates), apparently one horror- scope that was valid then said that I will get married at the age of eighteen, so the countdown began that early. And since the day I have turned eighteen, all I have been pulled my leg about is me getting married... LIKE HELLO PEOPLE MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS...!!!

So, the very first day of the Newest year, and Shayon's mom calls me, and she and I talk like really casually about Shayon and I getting married. The best thing being, that her timeline and mine match.. so we start talking 'marriage' on the 1st Jan... this was all in great jest. But the evening was even worse...

Like, my father tells me that this really sweet aunty otherwise, has just ruined my life, by announcing at a wedding that she attended about me being an eligible spinster. Now isn't that cool.... NOT. All my dad is telling me-is, I am just happy that people remember my daughter...hello remember for better things than match making.

Add to that Mr. Bejan Daruwalla in his general horrorscope for 2010 for me tells me that there is if not wedding then an engagement surely on the cards.

Yeah, that is what is going to happen to me the whole freaking year, I'll be warding off my own marriage.

Here is the deal guys, its not that I don't want to get married. As a matter of fact, right now with Shayon so far away, the only thing that seems logical to me so that we don't stay miles apart is getting married... but, then, I have studied so hard for 5 years, I can't just let that go... and neither can I let go of my career goals.

GOD!!! This totally sucks.

My parents don't even know about Shayon. They are going to freak out completely. And... I am so lost that I can't even see my own hands in front of me... the future is that foggy.

PS: How the hell do you tell your parents about your boyfriend without getting killed?
