Logically Illogical Ramblings....

A Coupla Long Years, Some Busy Months... and, more!!!

2009-04-12T01:12:00.000+05:30

The last year and then some, has been quite hectic. And, this post here is a summation of the main events that have occoured during the time...Ever since I got my laptop, I'd become pretty used to using it for any e-task I needed to accomplish, and to aid in my access to the net I'd started piggy-backing on some neighbours unsecure wi-fi connection. So, when in mid-August the said neighbour

Independence

2007-08-15T15:52:00.000+05:30

It has been sixty years, sixty long years since this country regained its independence. A country now essentially governed by us, the people of the nation. It is we who choose those who govern us and it is we who are the basis, the foundation and the strength of our country, and those of our elected leaders. And hence what befalls it, whether it be good or bad, lies in our hands. Every year, the

A Second Life.....?

These days the coolest things online are MMORPGs. To those of you unfamiliar with that abbreviation, it means Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games. Thanks to the booming market for Internet connections (I won't call them broadband connections, cause that'd be a disgrace...) this phenomena has now slowly and steadily started taking over the virtual horizon.The point of this style of

A Long Time Coming...

2007-07-12T18:25:00.000+05:30

It's been months since I last logged in to Blogger. The past few months have been a whirlwind of activity. I've been constantly travelling, never at home base for more than a week at a time. It's been an amazing few months... Full of experiences, new and old! I don't really know why, but I seem to have taken a liking to doing stuff alone...Travelling alone for some reason, has started to seem

Trust

2007-05-04T12:12:00.000+05:30

Don't trust me! Don't ever trust me! If by any minute chance you're still under the impression that you can trust me, go chuck that thought in the bin! And, don't forget to slam that lid shut after you're done doing it!I don't trust anyone. Not even myself. Infact, specially not myself! I am a person with a very loose mouth. What I hear today, will probably be the biggest piece of gossip

The Tag : Have you ever...?

2007-04-08T16:50:00.001+05:30

Here's a tag I accepted from Memyself_n_i.HAVE YOU EVER.......Smoked a cigarette?: Nope..... Not really, unless you consider passive smoking....(Thanks to the presence of a smoker in the family)Crashed a friend's car?: Never..... That doesn't mean that I haven't been responsible for quite a few dents on my neighbours' cars. ;-)Stolen a car?: Nope..... Would probably be too scared to do something

Of Robin Hood......

2007-04-03T04:05:00.000+05:30

Robin Hood..... A man who died centuries ago. A Man who is best remembered for stealing from the rich and giving to the needy poor. A mysterious figure worshipped by most young kids as the epitome of justice. But is this portrayal truly moral? Is this portrayal really that of a fighter for a just cause? He is, today, remembered as the saviour of the needy, but is it right to steal for fulfilling

But it Rained - Parikrama

This is for all you people who've always wanted to, but never really had the chance to see this awesome video, of an awesome song!! Lyrics:Wrapped in a polythene tucked away safe in my mindA little goodbye maybe or just a passing smileThe birds fly away to the southern sky searching a homeA bunch of paper flowers or a little boy left all aloneCan somebody hear me I'm screaming from so far

Questions Unanswered

2007-03-27T03:04:00.000+05:30

I have this 'ugly' habit of ending conversations abruptly and continuously changing the topic to suit what I feel like disclosing or talking about. Of late this seems to have become a recurring and highly irritating problem for some of my friends. So, I thought that I'd sit down and analyse the situation. Try to figure out why this hadn't been so prominent a problem earlier......Over the past few

The Gauge

2007-03-25T04:59:00.000+05:30

"Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction." This is one of the major laws on which our perception of the environment around us is based. I believe in a slightly different philosophy. That, of every action having a cost which requires payment. In Full. For this to be true, every one of our actions needs to be quantified so that it may be valued. If not quantified, at least judged to an

A Tale Of Tall Tales.......

2007-03-02T03:27:00.000+05:30

Some twelve-thirteen years ago I used to be known for my extremely tall and convincing tales. Yarns, that I'd spin out in such a fashion that the listener was always left convinced that I couldn't possibly be lying!!!Back then there used to be a very popular cartoon at that point of time named 'Centurions'. In this cartoon, the main characters used to wear specialised suits which allowed them to

Of Life....... Craziness....... And Loneliness.......

2007-02-27T03:18:00.000+05:30

A couple of days ago I got tired of life as it was, and decided to make some changes. One thing led to another and I ended up doing quite a few crazy things.For a long time now I'd been contemplating shutting down my Orkut profile and taking this blog of mine off the air, last week I finally took the Orkut profile off air and set up a new one at a new address. The blog faced a slightly lenient

A View.....

2007-02-22T02:31:00.000+05:30

There are some feelings that I have a really hard time putting down... But, today while going through a friends blog... I found something that I've always wanted to portray in some way or another, that he has actually been put down into words..... So, check out the post people.......

Paranoia...... Or is it???

2007-02-19T17:55:00.000+05:30

I've been a bit out of sync with tech news these past few months........ Not, that I was very informed to begin with, but when I heard the rumour that Google had launched the Beta version of Google Wallet in the States....... I started getting some really weird thoughts!!! Thought I'd share them with you guys o'er here......Today, A major chunk of our net usage seems to land Google's way. I don't

An Interesting Fact.........

2007-02-18T05:40:00.000+05:30

Recently, while turning the pages of a technology magazine I came across a few interesting figures........... (More about this a little later along this post.)I have often noticed how much more appeal and elegance a simplistic all-white page has to offer, but I still preffered to opt for this dull, black page. The reason at the time when I chose this template was the gloomy shadow following me...

Delhi : Infrastructure...............

2007-02-13T09:33:00.000+05:30

Delhi 2010 - This seems to be the mantra behind the soaring inflation in Delhi NCR. India 2050 - the New Superpower on the block is yet another reason for this nationwide phenomena. The preparation for the Commonwealth Games has greatly enhanced Delhi infrastructurally. But, a lot needs to be done still. The transport system needs overhauling!!!Lets take the Bus Transport System for instance.

A Realisation

2007-02-11T17:18:00.000+05:30

Today in a conversation with a friend, she kinda forced me to realise how much I seem to be missing out in life........... What I find odd is not what she said............... but, how far she was able to convince me with such a small collection of words.................These past few years my circle of good friends has grown increasingly smaller owing to quite a few of them moving away........

A Reality Check And An Apology (In A Wierd Round About Sort Of Way)........

2007-02-10T04:41:00.000+05:30

Every year I take time some time out to make a couple of lists.............. One, of people I know or remember........ And the other, of people who've taken care to take some time out for me.............. This year, like very other year since I started this practise, seems to show the same trends............... A jump in the former and a decrease in the latter.................. A little while

2007-02-10T03:24:00.000+05:30

Finally................. Some progress made............. Finally the hand has started flowing across the sheets................. Instead of jerking across it..................... The sketches still don't match upto my expectations.................. But, after so long with naught a pencil in my hand, they seem quite nice to me.................... Decent, if not good...............

Project : Day 3

2007-02-08T04:45:00.000+05:30

This seems to have been the worst time for me to have started on this project........... Every day seems to be a harbinger of some new obstacle that needs to be overcome.............. Yesterday, I spent the whole day shopping............... Didn't get any time to do anything about the sketches............ By evening, I was tired and depressed................... Infact I still am.............. My

Scared........ Confused................. and Broken.........

2007-02-07T13:27:00.000+05:30

I really am unable to comprehend what I end up doing wrong.............. I seem to have made a lot of mistakes in life............. and now the burden of living with them is getting a bit too much to bear.............I really can't seem to understand what I want from life either................. Where I really want to be............ and whom I want beside me for the journey...................

Project : Day 2

2007-02-07T06:53:00.000+05:30

A complete FIASCO............... That's the only way to describe my second day into this attempt...... Not because I wasn't able to make any sketches.......... But, because I wasn't even able to get my hands on the sketching pad.............. Being busy with the formatting and optimisation of my PC......................... Lets hope the next 24 hours prove fruitful.......... Wot say???

Yesterday I decided to embark on a long journey........ A very creative journey..........The Plan : Fill my sketch book with new sketches......... Both Portrait and Landscape..........The Beginning : I decided to take up some snaps I came across as the subject for my first sketches. Spent two whole hours trying to make one face......... with no luck......... None at all.........The Conclusion at

The Road goes ever on and on........

2007-01-31T07:08:00.000+05:30

There is a part of a poem/song by J.R.R. Tolkien that seems to have struck a chord with me. A chord that sounds every so often when I am feeling depressed. So, I thought I'd share this as well..........The Road goes ever on and onDown from the door where it began.Now far ahead the Road has gone,And I must follow, if I can,Pursuing it with eager feet,Until it joins some larger wayWhere many paths

An Interesting Story......

2007-01-31T06:40:00.000+05:30

A year or so before I moved base to Delhi, I came across a piece of prose by Gulzar, an excellent piece. So, when I came across it again very recently, I felt like sharing it...........

A Thought..........

2007-01-22T10:14:00.000+05:30

Today, while watching a documentary on Shahrukh Khan, I recalled a thought train, that I had lost some time back........ I've always wondered why people get snaps or autographs from celebrities they meet...... Why do people place values in these trinkets??? I'd rather cherish the experience........In Mumbai, I used to live in an area called Oshiwara. A name which was quite unknown when I lived

Reading Addiction : Someone Help Me!!!! I need Rehab!!!!!

2007-01-20T04:39:00.000+05:30

People get addicted to drugs, they get addicted to smoking!!! They even get addicted to drinking!!!! But, I seem to have become an extreme case of the wierdest kind of addiction, that of BOOK addiction..............I seem to have fallen in love with novels and the completely fantastical world that they provide. They seems to provide a safe haven, or rather a type of utopia to me.............

Tired.................

2007-01-19T11:50:00.000+05:30

I am tired of thinking about what I want to do in life!!! I know it needs to be worked on, know that it is perhaps the most crucial decision of my life...................... but I don't seem to have the will anymore................. I look at everyone around me doing something productive, something that gives them satisfaction and I think why am I not in that group, but the answer I receive is

It's now close to a decade since I moved from Mumbai....... The City of Dreams. To me, it truly seemed to have been a dream.............. a dream with a rather harsh ending but a dream none the less........... The experiences from this phase of my life have taught me to live each day as it comes. To revel in life while I can, cause tomorrow might not be as rosy as today was.......... What I

Life : A Journey (Part 1)

2007-01-15T10:12:00.000+05:30

It seems to me that I have led a nomadic lifestyle, since even before I gained control over my senses....... My earliest memories seem to belong to places in the eastern part of the country, namely Danapur, Jamshedpur and Mugalsarai. My memories from these places are mainly fragments, you-know a peek here, a peek there........ There doesn't seem to be any sort of definite timeline to the events

Life is confusing, Girls more so..............

2006-12-13T08:55:00.000+05:30

Its not like I have something against girls, its just that some of my most confused moments happen to have been a direct result of the company of the females of our species! Coincidences apart, they have the annoying habit of always being able to surprise you and put you on your guard........ Some of my best friends, now and forever have been of the opposite sex, and even they have managed to

Life : A series of Coincidences

2006-12-11T15:30:00.000+05:30

My life seems to have become a never ending series of coincidences.......... every new turn that I take in my life seems to take me right back to some long forgotten juncture!!! I seem to keep going around in circles, each more intricate than the last.......... Just last night I finally decided to approach a girl who had visited my Orkut profile a couple of days back cause her name sounded

Gurlz = Ladies ...................????

2006-12-06T20:57:00.000+05:30

I was just wondering...................... What do you call a Human Female when she is between the ages of say 18 to 23-25??????? A real enigma to me! Us, Males can never really understand the intercracies of the female mind!!!!! I mean, you can never be sure when calling one a girl, or a lady could bring the universe crashing down on your head! Hence, I've decided to adopt the safest way out of

Last time 'round...... it was "A Phoenix Reborn", so thought I'd go a little simple this time.......... I once told a friend, that I admired her for the courage that she shows, courage that is apparent in everything she does, specially in her maintaining a blog........ and I still stand by that!!! I know exactly how much its taking me to work these words into some semblance of coherent thought...
