Tuesdays with Morrie...

aahh writing something after ages .. i think the only reason i can think of for nor keeping my blog updates is "laziness". there were so many things that i could ve written about .. but then dint end up writing ..

a few days ago i read this book called "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom .. must tell you its an amazing book .. it talks about important things in life which most of us tend to ignore .. we re so caught up in the mundane chores of life that we miss out on things which actually make life worth living .. its a beautifully written book .. it talks about this professor who is about to die and the lessons he gives his student ..

and the best part about the book is it talks about the life that every single person leads today .. from simple human emotions to complexities of life.i generally dont prefer reading self help books because i think they dont really help ! but then i really enjoyed reading this book. few things i could'nt relate to but then on the whole it was a good read .

i think its a book really worth reading !

confused ???!!

what does one do when there are too many things to write about but then you dont know what to start with ? when there is too much to share but not so many words to express them ?this is exactly what i am facing now . have been wanting to write but everytime i decide there s something worth blogging about ; i either end up writing too many things which make no sense or i have no words to do justice to what i want to say .
in any case i decided that i ll just post whats currently on my mind. had been to gurgaon , had a blast, met amazing people, shared amazing thoughts , learnt new lessons , missed a few people , made new friends , played new games , visited new places .... did a lot of things , had new experiences. now i know why people say "time flies". it actually does and oh man how fast! its not even a week since i am back home . have been meeting my friends back home. been narrating all the fun i had .

too many things have suddenly happened in life i suppose. already got my results. said good bye to my bestest friend who left for US yesterday. not yet recovered from the fact that i wont be meeting him for a year. still feels like i am at gurgaon . too many things happening too fast i suppose . dont know if the post even makes any sense .
newayz dats all for now !
ciao

i'll be missing you ...

this post is dedicated to all my friends.

i think its going to be a while before i get used to not being around all you guys. its going to be a new beginning for all of us . just another phase of life i guess. a new experience . in a different place, with different people , with a new environment , with a new beginning .
isn't it almost ironic that every end comes a beginning of something new. no matter how many times i say i am going to miss you; i know we ll just get used to it. don't know how long will it be before we meet again. but then i know we will meet.
earlier arch had a post about way of life. and at this point in time i think thats what best describes the situation. i cant thank you enough for being there when i needed you guys the most.
its going to be a while before i get used to it . and no matter what happens i know i can count on you guys to be there . i hope we achieve what we've dreamt of. will miss you ll loads . i will cherish these memories for years to come.
cheers to our friendship !!

i hope you dance ...

i heard this song on radio a few weeks ago .. and i cant stop humming it ever since.the words just make a lot of sense. and it gives me a lot to look forward to in life! i am talking about this song called - "i hope you dance " by Lee Ann Womack. i think Ronan Keating did a cover for this song sometime back .
i think there are few songs that actually make you feel something . and this is one of those songs. i am totally in love with the song . the lyrics are damn meaningful . i thought i'll just share it with everyone.

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

aap kaa surror ....

i know no self respecting person will ever do this . nor anybody with some self esteem . but then i dint really have a choice. i decided to do it finally .hold onto your seats people . i went and watched "Aap kaa Surroor - The Moviee - The Real Luv Story" (errr ya).
well me and my friends ( di, blob & rambo) decided that it was high time we saw a funny movie.mind you we did read the review of the movie before we actually went to see it . at 40 bucks a ticket at a decent multiplex i just thought may be its okay to watch such a movie once in a lifetime(hopefully!!!) . and yea i dont regret my decision :D . surprised haan ? as for me reaching the theater i reached almost an hour late ( i had decided not to watch that movie but then after a few phone calls from di i decided to go ) but then i had'nt missed much.
here is a sneak peak into the movie :p
there is Himesh Reshammiya(who is called HR in the rest of the movie) who is a world famous performer who is on a tour to Germany ( poor Germans) he keeps saying "when there is faith there is no fear" . and there he gets trapped in a sting operation :| and the reporter(Nadia) who performs the sting is mysteriously killed and he ends up in jail. all this time he is in love with Ria ( hansika motwani . i think that kid has taken some pill to turn into a giant . ) and also there is Ruby James (mallika sherawat) who is also in love with HR. obviously in the movie he is proven innocent and it is actually his event manager or some such guy who killed the reported(Nadia) wearing a Himesh mask LOL .
in between all this is miserably sung song and dance (errr u cant call them dance but heck i dont know what else to call them ) sequences. and a few dialogs from leading man HR . he seems constipated through out the movie . i think even the best actors in Bollywood cant ever give that kind of a look . oh not to forget the scenes in which there are ricks (oh yea the Indian ricks) in Germany which come to HR s rescue .
we dint watch the movie for its story simply because we dint expect it to have one in the first place.and certainly not for the cast . it was just to watch a movie which i knew would be super crap in the first place .sometimes you have to watch such a movie just in order to appreciate the other movies you ve ever watched ..lol trust me we were like totally laughing throughout the movie . it was almost like a spoof on any other romantic , tragic or action movie ever made :D
i mean i have to give credit to Himesh for being stone faced + constipated in the entire movie. to that Hansika female for having zero acting skills whatsoever. Mallika Sherawat for ummm ( i have to think hard) for just being a part of the movie and giving us some comic relief...hehe
i mean if you ll ever get a chance to watch that movie may be on TV someday make sure you dont miss it :D it is hilarious in its own way . and in any case you watch a movie to have a good time which i did :)

mumbai meri jaan ????

after experiencing months of torturous summer heat i think its now time for the rain Gods to show their fury. its been raining really heavily these days in Mumbai . and its not at all surprising that the city is not equipped to withstand this amount of rains. all due to shoddy city planning. have you taken a look at the city lately . its literally going to the dumps . may be very soon the city will be get the tag of being "the world's largest dump ". i think we are light years away from coming anywhere close to Shanghai.(remember they wanted Mumbai to be Shanghai.. :|)
the pictures in the news papers show flooding everywhere. if it pours for a few hours at a stretch then its almost impossible to get from one point in the city to another. either the rails stop working or the routes are shut because of water logging. not to mention the frequent power cuts during the rains.most people have started dreading the rains.i dont think we are equipped to handle any calamity. all the open spaces have vanished. now i know what a concrete jungle is! even the Mithi river (err gutter ) has been eaten up by reclamation.
but then again the BMC has stated that we have to wait until 2011 (holy crap) till the city gets freedom from flooding during the rains. but then i am sure that in 2011 they ll come up with some lame excuse for not getting the city on track .
Mumbai meri jaan ? i dont think so ..
