Honesty is the Best Policy

2010-02-20T23:24:00.000+05:30

They say honesty is the best "policy". Honesty has become a policy because it pays. If it does not pay, then? Then dishonesty is the best policy. The whole thing depends on what works, what pays, what makes you richer or more respectable, what makes you more comfortable, safer, more secure, what gives you more nourishment for the ego - that's the best policy. -Osho

Just two blog posts and I feel so happy! I should have just blogged when I was upset. Would have saved me all that headache! Now I'm so happy that I don't want to sleep. I have to be up in 4 hours for a lecture, followed by a silly 5 marks test! Okay just because I can blog from my phone (read: from under the blanket) doesn't mean three in an hour! I should really sleep now; tomorrow is a long

I <3 Heights

2010-02-17T02:26:00.001+05:30

Going to the 30th floor of a building with a person who has vertigo made me realise that I love heights. While she was feeling dizzy, I couldn't get enough of the view around me! There's something about the skyline of Bombay that I absolutely love. I can go on admiring the shimmering lights and passing cars for hours together. And when I do get bored of the city, I just have to look up and take

A mind full of thoughts

2010-02-17T01:50:00.003+05:30

So events have happened in the past few days that fuelled my mind into taking me down and ripping my self esteem to bits and pieces. I tried blogging about it but couldn't because I thought it will be totally contradictory to my last post. But then I've been feeling so uneasy without an outlet that I just had to finally blog my thoughts.It's taken a toll on my health. I had a headache for three

Wow! I just discovered how I can blog from my phone through email on my current Internet Plan itself. This just keeps getting better and better!! Screw you Vodafone :D Oh, that's a trial picture by the way :PSent on my BlackBerry® from Vodafone

Voices in my Head

2010-02-08T02:12:00.005+05:30

The million inhibitions, insecurities, doubts, negative thoughts; all spring from one thing — my Inferiority complex. It's a mix of all those things the people around me expect me to be against what I really am. I paid heed to those voices, let them grow and in turn they affected my relationships, the people around me, my work, the way I look at life moreover they affected my mental well being to

I know I said my job makes me feel like Andrea Sachs from Devil Wears Prada but I meant in the cool, Editor's Assistant way. Not in the loser, doesn't know how to spell Gabbana way.The cool part is I know I fit well to the designation of 'Editorial Assistant' as I'm good with organising, making to-do lists, co-ordinating, keeping things in order, knowing things at the top of my head, etc.The

Can people change? People are who they are. Give or take 15%, that's how much people can change, if they really want to. Whether it's for themselves or the people they love. 15%.- Mitchell Pritchett, Modern Family S01Ep13Had once asked someone to change for me. They didn't. Guess they didn't love me.

I wish I could tell her what a bitch she is, and I hate her so much.- I don't want to go for expensive lunches on my parent's expense.- Vodafone is being a pain!- I hate how people put others down just to cover up their own insecurities.- People can get vicious once they start bitching.

After the awesome spree of blogging I went on, this was quite an abrupt lull. Have been busy with the paper. 'Cut Copy Paste'. It's our class project, we're coming out with our very own paper based on media related careers. I was busy with designing that and I forget all else when designing. Will try and upload the paper here once it's launched :) I have to write a whole post ranting about how

Happily Ever After?

"Soulmate. Two little words, one big concept. A belief that someone, somewhere is holding the key to your heart. All you have to do is find them. So where is this person? And if you love someone and it didn't work out, does that mean they weren't your soulmate, were they just a runner up contestant in this game show called happily ever after?" -Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the CityWhere's my

As I work on one of my assignments on Human Rights, I can't help but recollect George Carlin on Rights. Here's an excerpt -"Folks, I hate to spoil your fun but...there's no such thing as rights. They're imaginary. We made 'em up. Rights are an idea. They're just imaginary. But if you think you do have rights, let me ask you this, where do they come from? People say, 'they come from god.

If there's anybody in this world I absolutely love and care for, it has to be my brother.Today, when he had a panic attack in school during his exam due to nervousness and a drop in haemoglobin, I felt terribly guilty for having scolded him last week for not studying.He's a very brave, creative and intelligent teenager. He's so sensible that HE being just 15 counseled me for an hour the night of

I'm not a feminist but I don't care a rat's ass if I sound like one in this post.You know, I've always wondered what makes a man beg for forgiveness after he's cheated on his woman? If you're so sorry, you shouldn't have done it. And if you have done it, then why be sorry?And what's with the commitment phobia? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that commitment would mean no more looking at

Happy First Monday of 2010

I haven't slept all night and it's 8 am right now! Forget restoring my body clock, it's gone for a complete toss. Today I will manage to grab just a little bit of sleep as I have a lecture to attend at 1 pm and have other things lined up after that. So hopefully I will be tired and sleepy at the end of the day and my body clock shall be restored.Anyway I'm not here to discuss my body clock. I've

You know the feeling of contented happiness you get when you're doing something you love? I'm feeling that right now because I'm busy and engrossed in doing something I truly and utterly enjoy - designing :D :D Looking for fonts, stock images, going through tutorials, selecting colours!This happiness is more than the happiness I feel when I'm in a relationship. So you can imagine :P

Cheers to a New Beginning

2010-01-01T01:02:00.003+05:30

This is the first post for the archive of 2010. A new beginning. A Happy Beginning.I kept thinking to myself what's the big deal about a New Year it's just a change in date, so what? But no. It's a chance for a new beginning. And I guess there's nothing better than that. A chance to leave all your mistakes, all the bad memories behind you, and start AFRESH with a smile :)So, A very Happy 2010.

My Love Affair with TV Shows

2009-12-31T05:00:00.003+05:30

It was love at first sight with How I Met Your Mother, developed to Coupling and then got hooked with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I fell deeply in love with Sex and The City. I meet Californication only when I'm alone. Currently, I'm cheating on Modern Family with The Middle. And I was recently introduced to The Big Bang Theory.There are yet so many more waiting in queue. They've kept me

Mental Spring Cleaning

2009-12-28T02:03:00.004+05:30

2010 is my year of Mental Spring Cleaning.The people who know me from before the mess started don't identify with what I've become. Relatives, who have no clue of my personal life started asking me why have I become so distant. The change was becoming evident.Over the heart breaks, I became more and more depressed, cynical, pessimistic, lost confidence, became anti-social, was hard on myself,

21 is going to kick 20's ass!

2009-12-27T23:34:00.003+05:30

The birthday was a quiet, little luncheon with close friends. It wasn't a grand affair or a celebration. Wasn't in the mood. In fact, now since my birthday is over I'm feeling relaxed. Somehow the pressure of being happy because it's-my-birthday was getting to me. I’m letting it pass and not thinking about it because I know my 21st birthday is going to be awesome!I want to celebrate my 21st

I Forgive

2009-12-22T02:39:00.008+05:30

"All the hate, anger and rage that I had focused on someone else was having no affect on them, and countless affects on me. The other person was busy living their life, doing whatever made them happy. I was the one that was constantly sad, constantly depressed, constantly feeling sick and without energy. I was only punishing myself. It was at that point that I decided to forgive, not because the

Now for Semester 6 and I will finally be done with college! CANNOT wait for college to get over (I guess I'm the only person who says this!). I had no plans of pursuing further studies, but now I do. But more on that later.For some sad

Too much of a good thing

2009-12-15T17:07:00.003+05:30

It sounds so petty but it's really costing me a lot. Oversleeping. I'm sleeping way too much and the bigger problem is, at inappropriate times. Since I've quit my internship, all I've been doing is sleeping at home. I don't even feel like going out. Just sleep in. It's very irritating.In a way working was good for me. It kept me up and about and by the end of the day, I was so tired that it

Misc. Deux

2009-12-11T23:10:00.003+05:30

It's been 2 days of unemployment and I'm already bored. I somehow like being as busy as possible. (One of the reasons I don't have much of a social life) At the risk of sounding boring, I like the routine. I like having the numerous cups of coffee, I like cribbing about Monday morning blues and feeling lazy on a Friday. Since I'm in the media, working is not as boring as corporate life appears to

Misc.

2009-12-10T18:00:00.005+05:30

It's a task to title every post especially if the post is a random, blabber post like this one. But I can't leave it untitled since every post needs its own URL so I'll just call it 'Misc.'I'm writing a random post after a really long time. I guess it's got something to do with my relationship status. Whenever I'm with someone, the frequency of my posts drops and when I'm single, it picks

Real v/s Reel

2009-12-08T14:46:00.005+05:30

I spent my weekend watching back to back episodes of Sex and The City. I'm a bit challenged in the friendship area, I cannot maintain such good friendships so it got me wondering, is that kind of a friendship, that bond really possible? Can four people with such diverse personalities really get along so well? I know, they try to keep the show as practical as possible by putting in a few fights

Closure

2009-12-06T04:12:00.003+05:30

That's one more added to the list. A good one though. A good closure to my 5 years of falling and rising and then falling again.This birthday marks the end to my teens. It's time to grow up. Emotionally. What better way to do so than finally realizing my mistakes. Time to learn from them instead of repeating them over and over.From the first time I got myself into a relationship back in 2004 and

Wants enslave us

2009-12-02T01:12:00.003+05:30

"Everything has strings leading to everything else. We're all so tied together. We're all in a net, the net is waiting, and we're pushed into it by one single desire. You want a thing and it's precious to you. Do you know who is standing ready to tear it out of your hands? You can't know, it may be so involved and so far away, but someone is ready, and you're afraid of them all. And you cringe

Hope is a good thing

“Hope is a good thing and no good thing ever dies.”I’ve been trying to write a post in memory of 26/11 but no matter what came to mind, nothing matched up to the pain, loss and sacrifice of those affected by the numerous terror attacks witnessed by this country.I don’t know whether India has failed as a democracy or we as a whole are a shame to humanity. I have no clue as to what will help end

Star struck, who me?

2009-11-20T23:13:00.005+05:30

Hindi cinema is no more about the art of expression. It's just become what they call it, an industry. There's a wide difference between being crazy about movies and being crazy about celebrities. I love watching movies and discussing them. But I'm barely ever interested in the life of an actor/producer/director beyond that.I've never been crazy about celebrities but have always found myself in

After my Richshaw story, let me hereby introduce you to my most favourite way of commute which also makes for an important part of Bombay's identity - the B.E.S.T. bus service.If you're a traveller and want to get to know Bombay, you must travel by B.E.S.T. It will give you a better view of the city than those Mumbai Darshan tours and definitely much more economical. They not only get you

Materialistic Li'l Me

2009-10-12T20:10:00.003+05:30

It’s a materialistic list of things that I obviously cannot get by 27th December 2009. But, putting ‘The Secret’ to practice, I’m hoping to get each of them on my future birthdays :D (Not in order of priority. I want all equally bad!) 1. No, I don’t want Isla Fisher for my birthday but the Pink Macbook that she owns in Confessions of a Shopaholic. 2. It’s funny how I would want a phone, a

Twitter for Dummies

2009-10-05T09:06:00.013+05:30

Most people yet haven't come to understand what Twitter exactly is and find it totally pointless.I had a few of my classmates along with my professor ask me why would they want to know a minute by minute update of somebody's life. Thus resulting in an argument. Thanks to my exceptionally bad conversational skills, I couldn't argue as there were 4-5 of them going at me all at once, I decided I

2009-10-05T02:20:00.020+05:30

My Semester 5 (board) exams begin in less than 12 hours but I just had to blog since I've been away for way too long and I had started to feel guilty that I was shifting my loyalty to Twitter. But, it's always so much easier to tweet every thought in 140 characters than write a whole blog entry.Things I wanted to blog about in the past few months but did not:1. I was working on Section 377 for

Life, it's all we really have

Quoting Sam from Garden State, "I know it hurts. That's life. If nothing else, it's life. It's real, and sometimes it fuckin' hurts, but it's sort of all we have."I had expectations. How a family should be, family ties and bonding.You know when you're asked questions like would you choose love over money? And everybody tries to be human and say I would choose love. I say, if the money is not

Musical Memories

You know how you always associate certain songs with some time from your life. I love when that happens. When I'm listening to songs on shuffle and a song plays that hits me with nostalgia...Be Yourself by Audioslave and all Coldplay songs remind me of Adarsh. Be Yourself because he suggested it to me. And once while dropping me back home on his scooty, we sang the song. Coldplay. Well, let's

The BEST STRESS Buster

2009-08-27T03:24:00.003+05:30

What's the best stress buster?Bollywood music from the 90's. There's nothing that can beat these songs!These songs make me crack up every time I hear them. I have a special playlist on my iPod dedicated only to these songs. Just listen to the lyrics.What made the lyricist pen these lyrics, what was the inspiration god alone knows. But what songs! What emotions... waah!Why do I love these songs?1.
