The first time I caught her eyes....
She shot back with an inquisitive look, probably a guise!
The twinkle through those lashes,
Seemed to reduce my heart into mere ashes!
The effect still persists,
The glance still sustains!
I guess its the beauty of it that makes me feel the urge, the need,
That I get another glance at her, call it my feelings or my greed!
The first time I saw her smile,
I felt as though it was reducing my burden pile!
She laughed, she giggled,
I joined her...simply to watch her lips curl and feel innerly cuddled!
The effect is still the same,
The smile has not lost the fame!
I guess its its purity that makes me feel as benevolent as a tender seed,
That I want to see her smile some more....call it my affection, or my greed!
Her mere presence...
Her austere essence!
Her lively nature...
Her expressive gesture!
Her sheer brilliance,
Her artistic intelligence!
These are the features that defines her soul,
And in them, I guess lies my true happiness bowl!
Its that very smile I can literally kill for,
Its that very twinkle I can truly die for!
I guess its simply her that makes me go over the top...my emotional feed!
That makes me want to be beside her forever....call it my devotion, or my greed!

Look Into My Eyes!
Feeling the chill all around,
Yet rejoicing a warm sensation having you bound!
I guess this is your charm....this is your soft sound,
That makes me and my world go round!
A touch so pure....
A stand stronger for sure,
A momentary glance at the most loveliest eyes...
A feeling to come all out, disclosing none as a guise!
Is it me or is it you?
That whenever you're around, I feel my world go blue,
That whenever you smile...the worlds seems to sparkle like a dew,
That whenever you come closer...an hour feels like minutes so few!
I guess its a feeling more divine...
A gesture of a heavenly sign!
You may enjoy the bits....or try to glance away!
But I'll only whisper saying "Come what may, I'll never sway!"
Looks may be humble, they may yet deceit,
But just remember...it's the eyes that never forfiet!
Moments like these may come and go...but they are immortal in the memories so wise!
Wanna see it? Simply look into my eyes!
(Another attempt to write in a bit romantic manner...for a someone splecial)!

Reel Drought!
I remember a few semesters back that there was a time when we all had to face severe cash crunches every now and then. This was not on any booze party or any kinda outing, but was due to certain number to visits to theaters like Navina, South City, Priya, Menoka and so on! The was between "to go or not to go" was simply ruled out as we ended up watching every possible movie that premiered on the weekends and moreover, the supply of cash definitely bowed to its demand from the booking counters! That was a time when Bollywood was truly an entertaining demon for all us college kids! Wonder where such days have gone?
The exams got over. So did other numerous commitments. It was time to simply relax and enjoy a few reels with popcorn and friends! The friends are all there....and so is the availability of popcorn and other secondary requirements! Even the cash is there! But alas! No movie worth spending a few bucks for!
2010 stated off pretty well. The theaters did draw huge crowds, and the crowds too were satisfied with their investments! But as the year drew to an end...the slog factor seemed to have risen to another level. For the past one month, movies are coming and going! There's not even an ounce of desire anywhere to go catch one! Of course there are certain exceptional ones that are truly worth watching, but for the past 3 weeks or so...this too seems to have dried up! All we do now is to watch Channel V, MTV and others, get fascinated by certain songs and videos, grow a weak desire to watch the movies but ultimately end up sighing after seeing the Sunday reviews! I guess...it is not only the supply of reels that has dried up but also our desire to rely on any director/actor as well!
The reason I am jotting this one down is because I can't take it any longer! My exams got over, and also the new semester has creeled in, but still no sight of a good watchable movie! I donno what has happened to the creative minds of our "so-called-industry-people", but they seriously do need some makeover. At least not to try their own ideas, they can still opt for a copy a=of any Hollywood remake and simply do justice to the original script! If not this, then I think it is time that we cast our own ideas on FB and let them know what we want and don't!
So I guess this is me.....hopelessly sitting home and doing other stuff (and mind you, it's damn tough for a movie buff like me!).....simply praying that at least the New Year will do some good to these Cinema People! If not, then I guess gathering the DVDs of Classic Hollywood films and watching them will be my only refuge! Wake up Bollywood! Please....

Nostalgia!
24th December.....Christmas Eve......a simple day at JU.....more importantly, a day where most people from the University plan their outings and celebrations for the new year week! My purpose for going to the college today was simple:
1. I wanted to meet all my seniors whose faces I had been missing for a long time!
2. I wanted to catch up with my close friends at JU, knowing that they had their convocation today!
3. I wanted my lunch, transport and all possible expenses to be covered by those beloved seniors! :P :D
So I got up late, wearily got ready and raced to the University...but this was slowly to find a slight gloom in the afternoon sun at the campus! But as the clock ticked further into the noon, the crowd density increased and so did the zeal among the public, both the graduating seniors as well the current students! Whatever be the reason for either party, the overall was simple : Seniors are back! Its party time....time to share a few laughs and memories with them...time to catch on old friends....time to enjoy the convocation of my beloved friends in JU...time to absorb all the possible time in the campus today!
The scenery switched from green to ORANGE! (Yes...that's the colour of the robes provided by the University...some hate it...even me, but hey....its a part of our heritage, so no comments on this one!) Coming back, it was an orange blanket on the campus today, which seemed to reflect all sorts of emotions. Emotions of love....emotions of friendship....expressions saying "I missed you goddamit!", and most importantly....expressions displaying another chance to relive campus life for those who have left it! Seeing the people blend in, sharing experiences with us and amongst themselves, the overall feeling was nostalgic! I know that I will be experiencing this pretty soon (with only 364 days to go), but imagining life at that point is something I simply cannot program my mind towards! I LOVED THE MOMENTS TODAY....I WILL MISS THEM THEN!
Time for my friends to get their first undergraduate degree! Watching them don the robes with awe....coming to the campus dressed in the most appealing traditional manner....glaring down the gallery to spot them walk across to get a hold their degree...I could only feel myself in their place! Some of them have wandered off in the quest of a fresh destiny....most have stayed in the campus continuing their education here....but seeing the eyes meeting once again, I felt that I was in a domain of my own, even though I hardly know a handful of them. Call it the aroma of our friendship or the desire to be there for each other, I guess the feeling of happiness and pride was mutual! I LOVED THE MOMENTS TODAY.....I FELT AS IF THEY WERE MY OWN!
Nostalgia again! I want this day to come soon for my very own self....but I am nostalgic about the scenario then! I want to share and feel the moments that others felt today....but I guess, I will be missing today even then! Call it serenity, call it stipulation...I guess I am in a state of a mixed feeling where today I saw my seniors exchange some expressions of relief and joy...while my friends exchanged their moment of pride with me! So here I am, in my college senior year....trying to imbibe the happiness of others today....feeling proud for the persons whom I care for from day 1 in my college...trying to extrapolate the memories to 24th December, 2011!
(Dedicated to all those who graduated today! Congrats Soumita and Priyanka! Prabudhdha, Pradyut, Chasa....happy to see you once again! Dhonaa....missed you loads!)

Moments of Silence!
A walk down the road....with the twisting lanes and crawling sidewalks, the conversations went on and off. At times she merely giggled! At times, I just chose to gaze at her. For some moments, she started to talk and I listened...and then a pause...time was for me to begin, but to my own amazement, i preferred to simply walk beside her and to listen to her (also sometimes stealing away a quick gaze at her eyes :D)! The day had come when I, a chatterbox from birth, voluntarily chose to stop talking and simply listen and enjoy the mood....to imbibe the silence blended with her presence....to absorb all the available evening lights reflecting off her eyes and glitter! All in all, I chose to take a moment of silence!
Then followed a brief phase of lag after so much waling. We chose to sit down on a short wall....simply following up of the conversations! Yet again, the silence surpassed the talking by high margin! The weather was chilly...but the essence was warm, the street lights were sharp....but the beams from her eyes were sharper. All in all, an evening spent for some purpose, but it ended up with me realizing a whole new side of me.....and truly, an enjoyable side!
For the people who know me, they can vouch for the fact that I truly can maintain a constant range on the decibel chart! But leaving them apart, the entire thing is very shocking that just the mere presence of a certain someone beside me can bring about such a change in the 'internal' me! Is this truly possible? Or was it just that I was a bit exhausted from all that walking? :P
Jokes apart...I have to say that even after spending the after-time thinking about this, I have no clue as to what made this happen! Was it her effect? Was it her herself? If so, why was she the only one to be able to do so? Questions questions all around, but not a sign of the answer fin....questions questions above and down...the answer maybe within! (well...this is an attempt of modify and express certain feeling by using a few line from "The Ancient Mariner" but hey....no funny comments here people!)
So I guess here I am....trying to do what I enjoy (write that is :D)...still trying to decipher the cause of such a change....and most importantly....trying to recollect every piece of memory of today's evening! Had a blast dear! ;) :P
(Dedicated to the person who made me realize this potential within me...and most importantly, for bearing my blabbering for all the days preceding this one!)

Can I Have An Encore?
A few more moments of frolic and fun…
A few more glimpses of the campus sun,
Some more measures of life’s ironies and puns…
A few more attempts at the deeds left undone!
Another year of sole academic tensions…
Another year of myriad “Bensons”
Another year of aimless sips at a cup of tea…
Another chance of following my heart everywhere, being just me!
One more glimpse at the seniors lurking around…
One more glimpse at the eyes of fresher’s…scared to a shape of round!
One more glimpse at our teachers talking to the walls…
One…just one more attempt to feel the fearless ability to rise after a fall!
At the onset of a new dawn…with dreams quite galore…
Excitement, anxiety and aggression are all that comes to my mind’s core,
But then again, I look back to relive the moments, both soothing and sore…
Simply to ask life : CAN I HAVE AN ENCORE??
(Dedicated to all those who are in their final years in their colleges and who have graduated out from them as well...)

Life!!!
Can we sum up saying that:
Living the moments,
Oscillating to and fro a basic social guideline,
Being responsible and respectable,
Spreading love and care,
Being loyal to what we do and who we are,
Trying to excel in what we do,
Being generous and humane,
Making great friends,
Respecting your parents,
Supporting and loving one special person,
Being humble at times of pride,
Being strong at times of despair,
Helping out people selflessly,
..... as LIFE?
(Probably the shortest I have written! The message is to rejubenate our ideas regarding the boon we all have received - our lives! Continue the list if you think I missed certain points!)

Fluctuating Moods!
At the inception of a year,
The earth looks a bit pale from the cold...with the spring ready to smear!
As time floats forward, with the dawn of sunlight quite near...
People start to enjoy and cheer.
But slowly and steadily, the smile fades into a glimpse of fear...
Solely regarding the hotter days yet to come...a phenomenon quite mere!
During the summers, people relent the heat.
They pray for the monsoons to arrive soon, hoping that the scorch they'll cheat!
And thus God answers them all...
Sending dark clouds and making the liquid relief fall...
But soon the mood changes quite swiftly,
It's the very relief they start to loath...which once they longed for so timidly!
Next follows prayers...hoping the clouds will stop and go!
Thus come the onset of autumn, making the monsoon seem our foe!
The heat comes back, the clouds scatter...
The sky seems fresh...ready for yet another makeover!
And thus sets in the winter days...
Promising a long dry spell of relief, "cold and dry" are the words it says!
But pretty soon, with the year end...
People get fed up of the cold, and seem to bend!
With rolling eyes, from the cold to heat,
They then want the sun to come back and make a feat!
And then again starts the very vicious loop,
Of the upcoming seasons, and man's ever-swinging mood!
We say that we are scorched,
We say that we are parched...
Some say we are drenched,
While others say we are iced!
But God looks down, and says just one line....
"My children, you are none, but simply that your minds have been torched!"!

Be Sincere...Not Serious!
To start with, this is a topic conceived by me at the dinner table, during a conversation with Dad. He just uttered these lines, and I am simply applying my ideas onto this one!
Honestly speaking, these words can best define my current mental status. I am in my final year, yet to get placed and I am simultaneously trying to crack through numerous off-stream exams...all in all...I am packed up! Maybe not always, but mentally...yes sir! Seeing this, my dad came up with this line...as an advice, which I am planning to follow to the very edge!
Literally speaking, these words may not appeal you at all! But once you go to the depth, their individual weights get multiplied to give an impressive overall. Frankly speaking, we all come to that stage of our lives when we have numerous things on our agenda! Some stay very focused and treat accordingly, but most of us tend to deviate subconsciously! Its like, even if we're aiming for a particular thing, unknowingly, we devote much of our memory space to another aspect, which may occupy a secondary position in our to-do list! The consequence may not be too harsh, but its just that the tension levels accelerate...with sometimes disastrous effects of both the primary and the secondary aspects! In order to avoid this....and also, in our further life, to avoid inculcating any form of anxiety, this is the motto to be followed!
What the line basically means is that we simply must perform, whatever we are supposed to perform in, very sincerely. While doing this, we must not think of the aftermath or the result and also, we must not get too emotionally attached with it - hence the ending "Not Serious"! The three dots in between the halves merely represent the vague line of disparity! Being Serious is good...being sincere is also good! They why the difference? This is merely thinking from the human mind point of view! In modern times, only a performer and not an actor can woo the audience! Similarly speaking, as an employer, everybody wishes to encounter graduates with not merely technical knowledge, but also a very good persona and charm! The reason : they are the fresh face of the company...and no one wants a stoical look, be it a man...be it an organization! Another fruitful example may be in terms of doctors! When we visit a doctor, we tend to expect a very serious, nerdy kind with the stethoscope! Just try to recollect the expression you had on your face when this expectation was overtaken by a more friendly, jolly doctor! Wasn't it able to bring out a smile, even when you were sick?
The whole point in discussing this thing is that I believe that we, as good natured, sincere students and being, actually are ignorant about the border between sincerity and seriousness! Being sincere means devoted to one's interest and work! Stop! Then try to look up the meaning in the dictionary for seriousness. It is the phenomenon of being emotionally overweight for a particular thing! Stop! Does the meanings strike a chord? Being serious no where mentions the need for dedication. Moreover, we all very well know that seriousness over long periods of time can elevate the agitations in our minds, which in turn affects our efficiency!
So people...lets be sincere! Not serious! Remember, sincerity brings a soothingness and devotion to our minds...Seriousness just makes us dull and boring! After all...the modern day trend is to be cool, funky and bright, right? ;) :D

I Miss You....
It hasn't been that long,
That you left us for a conquest of your own...for a dream quite daring,
But the meager gap seems endless...just like a vague song
Complete with beats, music and rhythm, but a composition quite jarring!
I may emphasize, I may elaborate,
But dear friend, be very sure, I will not exaggerate!
To insist on the loneness among us all...
To highlight on the loquacity affecting us all!
It seems, without you...
The vibe amongst us has burnt off like a flue!
But we still cherish one pertaining fact!
That the day will come when you are within us all...making our group still and intact!
I am proud of your ambition...
I am here to support your career's initiation!
But maybe its the time, maybe its our smiles...
That bind us so much so true,
To be able to think, almost at every instance, of you!
So dear friend, once again I would like to narrate...
I may emphasize, I may elaborate!
But trust me...I will not exaggerate!
Seeing the days gone by, and looking at the ones yet to come...
All I see is myself in queue,
Waiting for that smile eagerly, knowing that the days left...are few!
But even though the gap seems endless, it still is a song quite vague...
The beats, the music still continue....but to the heart, it seems like a plague!
(Dedicated to one of my most sweetest friends, Soumita....missing her presence in the daily melancholy of my college life!)
That you left us for a conquest of your own...for a dream quite daring,
But the meager gap seems endless...just like a vague song
Complete with beats, music and rhythm, but a composition quite jarring!
I may emphasize, I may elaborate,
But dear friend, be very sure, I will not exaggerate!
To insist on the loneness among us all...
To highlight on the loquacity affecting us all!
It seems, without you...
The vibe amongst us has burnt off like a flue!
But we still cherish one pertaining fact!
That the day will come when you are within us all...making our group still and intact!
I am proud of your ambition...
I am here to support your career's initiation!
But maybe its the time, maybe its our smiles...
That bind us so much so true,
To be able to think, almost at every instance, of you!
So dear friend, once again I would like to narrate...
I may emphasize, I may elaborate!
But trust me...I will not exaggerate!
Seeing the days gone by, and looking at the ones yet to come...
All I see is myself in queue,
Waiting for that smile eagerly, knowing that the days left...are few!
But even though the gap seems endless, it still is a song quite vague...
The beats, the music still continue....but to the heart, it seems like a plague!
(Dedicated to one of my most sweetest friends, Soumita....missing her presence in the daily melancholy of my college life!)

A Day To Remember....
Ever had a spring of events surfacing now and then, just within one particular day? Moreover, an apt question would be that ever had that kind of a day and you enjoyed every moment of it? Well...for me, today was such an experience.....truly a collection of moments which I, and all of my fellow friends would remember till the end!
A plan was earlier made to celebrate the placement of 14 of our batchmates...in a mega way! All was fixed, but just yesterday one of our "respected" professors (or rather a grizzly bear) called up and informed us about the class test due for today...with probably the shortest notice (of less than 16 hours) I've ever seen in my life. With the apprehension expanded the feeling of tension and dubious ways to manage the situation. Plans like inviting the concerned teacher to our celebrations, and the likes were made. Some were accepted, some rejected....but the ultimate one accepted was to talk to him straight-away by paying him a visit. So we locate his apartment and ring the bell....but all we got was his no-show attitude and a slight tone of anger from his side. Deciding not to poke the already poked bear, we scramble to our respective abodes...trying to study with whatever time we have left on our hands! Next day, as expected, he came with printed papers for the exam. We all knew tit-bits of the subject...so we decide to resort to teamwork for solving the paper and voila! We did give the exam in an unexpectedly good manner! :):)
So, happy with our round in the exam hall, next on the agenda was the buffet in Mainland China! But as per our routines, we had our projects scheduled today! And call it my luck, my own guide had other plans...specially for me and my project partner! But after a quick discussion and a slight twist with some reason, we trick our ways out of the labs and head on to our destination!
The first thing I noticed in the restaurant was the expression on the waiters' faces. All they day was an influx of 55 people....in various groups...slowly occupying the tables in all corners. They were glowing, imagining the bill amount probably, but they also were aware of the service they had to provide! But who cares? We hit the buffet tables in a flash....and in a crowded fashion! It seemed as though if the entire 5 star restaurant was converted into a mere college canteen - crowded tables, loud conversations....slangs all around...and most importantly, eating out of each other's plates! But man did we enjoy! It truly was a moment to savour! The only thing I felt disgusted about was that had it not been for the untimely scheduling of that wretched exam, I would not have forgotten about my camera! All these expressions could have stayed on my computer, but hey....I soon forgot about this when all the "khilli" started happening all around. I had been to this restaurant numerous times - sometimes with my family...others during some events...but all of them were a bit too formal! But today....it was like a group of hungry elites were suddenly exposed to the luxury of 5 star food and drinks! And the rest? Well, I guess you can easily visualize the situations! :D
Next, the scene was a bit too usual. Inflated belly's, with an inability to walk properly...and most importantly...the infection of the afternoon slumber phenomenon! So some of decided to go home and relax. Others, like us, decided to enjoy the cool breeze of the AC of the mall and chat our time by. But as the evening approached, some of us suddenly remembered the other commitment we had for the evening - Spanish class! With a dire urge....and loathsome footsteps, we set on for the short journey, but then what happened was probably the best thing in the entire day! Now, we have our classes in RKM, which is known for discipline and strictness. In college, we bunk every now and then, but today we bluffed RKM as well! We had a submission (about which we all had forgotten) and so, we went a tad earlier, and completed the assignment ( simply by copying from others :P) and then, suddenly decided to bunk the class. Thus came our teacher, and the excuse we came up with was that there was an extremely important exam scheduled for the next day, and that we should be permitted to leave. Seeing our sincerity (by coming solely to submit the assignment)and our "frankness", our teacher was truly impressed. She even granted us our attendance for today! And after that : destination Cafe Coffee Day! :D
Today was a day, where we really were tested to the second! We came out with utter grandiose and more importantly, we also executed out plans for the day. An entire day with friends, food and drinks! All in all....a day to remember. I would say my batchmates reading this would agree to this to the detail, but now...as the clock ticks closer to the end of the day...I doubt the encore of this experience, but hey...I guess moments like this should be rare..as it is then when they will retain their sweetness, wouldn't it? So cheers to the guys who made this treat possible, cheers to the guys with whom we cracked todays paper and finally, cheers to my lovely group for making the finale another grand experience!

Counting the Days By......
Finally....after almost a year....I am writing my beloved form of literature - poetry!
(Well....this is an ode to my own college life....till now! It's not over yet, but in the final year...I just realize everyday that with the moments, the countdown just ticks on...!)
High school ended with a bang...
And after chivalrous attempts in various exams, college life rang!
The fear of adjusting to a place totally new,
The excitement of socializing in an environment which I hardly knew!
Though it was the onset of my career, it did bother me at times quite few,
But the irony was that I was more concerned with "ragging"...at times, my nails, I did chew!
The life kicked off, injecting a peculiar zeal in me,
Though I was right about the ragging, but after a few days...it felt as good as it could ever be!
Following the tradition, we loathed more on the grounds and were less "roomed"...
And slowly, I had made a group of my own...it was friendship all around that loomed!
Mixing with people, having a new era of fun...life very much bloomed!
Though there was a slight fear of having my academics being doomed,
But I guess it was the people around me...who helped me back with my academics, with my motivations getting zoomed!
At times, it was quite hectic...with fun being kept at bay!
At times, it was the other way round...from academics we swayed!
At times, it was laughter quite sheer,
At times, it was a mundane atmosphere, with heated conversations and acts of despair!
The days just swept by, and time did steer...
And in no time, we became sophomores...a great time to cheer! ;) :D
The dawn of seniority, a feeling which was very near...
And with the advent of our juniors...the feeling boosted, no more than less mere!
The days swept by, the time did steer...
At that point, life was full of fun, frolic and large bottles of beer!
We grew older, our minds altered in their notions,
Maturity, discipline and responsibility started growing in quantized denominations!
The load of academics was now in a rapid motion...
But our interests grew anew, with each cycle of academic rotation!
Trainings, designs and labs were at full pace...
Slowly but steadily, we accelerated in the worldly race!
But the friendship all around, made sure that, in vain, we did not chase...
It revealed certain aspects of professionalism...slowly solving the career maze!
The days swept by, the time did steer...
At that point, we were in a bit too haste...to realize our career aims, which to us, were quite dear!
The list of movies started to grow,
With the bunking rate getting elevated, simultaneously, to an upper row!
But hell, we did enjoy each moment, with a fresh seed to sow...
Friendship grew and so did its loving load, quite a heavy, but benevolent one, to tow!
New domains were discovered...
With social and professional elements being sown and recovered!
Life was full of joy and care...
But at times, vanity and anxiety too prevailed...with recognitions quite rare!
But everything was an experience, a part of the friendship lair...
A bit of sugar...a pinch of salt, that's what makes life fair!
Days swept by, the time did steer...
Those were the moments that made us live live, at every gear!
At times like now, with just another year...
I feel like having an encore, another hear!
There are moments I would love to cherish for one more time,
There are actions I would want to alter, certain others to mime!
Things I would like to enjoy, for the same price and dime....
But like life, time hasn't yet learnt to rhyme!
It's not that moving on is a factor to lament,
In fact, its an opportunity to grow, to become a glow with a renewed filament!
But these are the days...these are the moments that will remain for eternity,
I am just too glad that I have yet another year to add to them, moments of flaw, joy and serenity!
Right now, I try to live as per the day...
Storing every in possible memory space as I can, as I may!
But counting the days by,
I realize that every second gone, is as unreachable as a peak so high!
But I guess its their essence so mere...
That will rejuvenate the days to come, the memories flashing back quite clear!
Days sweep by, the time does steer....
With just a year left ahead of me, with the end so near...
I just wish that I could have the knob of time...just to slow it down, if not veer,
Simply counting the days by...I wish I could have the moments back and that my words were like that of a seer!

Enough Is Enough! I'm On A Diet From Now!
Before going into this article, just ask yourself that have you ever felt the need for going on a diet, very very badly? Or did you ever feel that your fat levels are spiraling out of control? If yes, then this one's for you....if not, then also you'll enjoy this! :D
The world is full of different kinds of people, at every corner. But of all the classifications, we can categorize them all into two basic ones - one's who love to eat and the others who are not so bothered about food! It is usually the first type of people who usually grunt about having weight issues, fat problems and stuff. Okay, I wouldn't lie....I too was practically one of them, but ion recent days, certain improvisations have been enacted upon by me, about which, I'll come to later. But coming back, all I want to say is that have we really given a thought as to basically why we ever grunt?
Imagine a situation where there are loads of goodies on the table, and you're damn hungry! For people like me, we would literally jump at almost everything that appeals to the tongue, without even thinking about the calorie intake shit! But do we really care about all those? I think not! One of the basic human nature trait is related to the tongue - the appeal and the related food! We may even turn up greedy and end up eating more than that which is permissible, but hey, we do enjoy the meals right? I have certain friends who're mad about certain dishes, and can eat well too! I also have some friends who are not that bothered about the food. They simply want to nibble and taste! I cannot understand them about this section, honestly, but I guess its their mode of enjoying the meal! But my point is something circling this fatness factor and the associated grunt! Maybe it is so that you may eat a lot and everything gets visibly added onto your body, or it may so happen the other way round! Another factor may so happen that you may eat a lot, and at the same time, there's no physical change regarding you! But whatever be the observation, people do have certain notions regarding their dietary lifestyles.
I am a bit fat! It is because whatever I eat gets added to my body mass. At times, I feel like so irritated that I think of scrapping all the nice dishes from my chart, and going on a strict diet! But...the very next moment, I end up with a slice of ice-cream in my hands! Sometimes, I feel like rushing to the gym and spend a vigorous hour or two over there. But I guess I'm too lazy to continue this ordeal! :D I mean, it involves a hell lot of physical labour...the genes of which I did not inherit! Neither the mentality! But all in all...I am proud that I can eat well and can make any of my friend's mom very happy, provided they invite me over to their place! :D But sometimes, I do feel the urge of the need to reduce my waistline by a few inches! I do try some actions regarding this matter, but everytime, I end up consuming more than what I burn!
So people, all I want to say is that don't dwell on this topic line! Simply follow your heart! If you want to have something nice, go for it! If you want another one, and your pocket permits you do to so, do it! Don't think about this weight gain shit! Because one fine day, the doc will definitely ban some or the other items from your daily menu list, and at that time, don't sit and sigh! Just try to eat right...the thing which I'm doing right now! Every inch will fall into line! But hey, if you want a six-pack or something, or a model like figure....then don't follow these lines! What I'm talking about here is a healthy, normal, average figure! So just remember...eat well, eat as per your heart...and just smile! That's what will keep you in shape both physically and mentally!

Been a Long Time....
In our lives we meet many people, but out of that entire crowd, few are able to carve a niche in our minds. Well, this is regarding to something like that, with my own life. About a person who had faded long back, but is suddenly back with a bang after 9 years!
So...certain things happened in our school days which led to feud between us. Though she considered them pretty sweet and always giggled with an awe, but hell did she get angry. And the worst part - we never had a chance to develop our friendship back then. Days passes with simple talks and regular fights during the school days and a time came when I had to migrate to another place (Dad changed the job you see)! But what touched me back then was that she confessed of having shed a drop of two from her tear gland primarily because I was leaving. This was a bit unexpected, yet anticipated! :D
Now I had left the city, in fact the country but certain things always happened which made me think of her. Okay, this is where I have to mention the fact. The feud started because I had proposed her, and well.....we were kids back then, so I guess neither one of us had the maturity to handle it well. My actions we explainable, and so was her anger! But hey, things happen in childhood, right? But coming back, I just missed having a simple chat with her...just to maintain the right chord on the friendship tone!
Days turned into months, and months into years. I guess we had ourselves in our minds, but that was in the subconscious level! As individuals, we had moved on in our lives, with practically no information about each other. But one fine day.....after a period of 9 whole years, we finally bump into each other on a social networking site! I still remember the day, about how giddy and happy I was, but I guess I cannot explain myself very clearly. But anyways, I was elated (that's the basic point!). But I was a bit reluctant at the early stages because I had remembered our last fight very clearly ( a hung up phone situation :D). But after a few days, I realized that truly it was now or never. So I ask for her number, and a few minuted past, we are happily recollecting our past on the phone! :)
What touched me was that she remembered almost everything and was taking it sportingly. What made me happy was the conversation about our past life, the goof ups, the childish pranks and stuff! But what really mattered to me was that I was right about us having a chance to develop a smooth friendship! :) The chatting went on and on, till she started feeling so sleepy (now this trait hasn't changed pretty much in the entire 9 years!) that her words started overlapping! But all in all, a good enjoyable hour on the phone!
This is no message blog, but at the very same moment it is! Just think for a moment. If you have a number in your contact list with whom you haven't had a conversation in years, its high time to give a call (Try the 30p night calling plan people) and to start afresh! Its never too early, never too late for any kind of friendship, but one thing you have to be pretty sure of...and that is that you must not ever create a situation of "It's been a long time..." and then repent for not having acted towards it earlier! Friendship Rocks! And thus, this is dedicated to the girl I'm talking about for the last few lines - Dilpreet! :) (Missed you yaar!)

If you have a number in your contact list with whom you haven't had a conversation in years, its high time to give a call (Try the 30p night calling plan people) and to start afresh! Its never too early, never too late for any kind of friendship, but one thing you have to be pretty sure of...and that is that you must not ever create a situation of "It's been a long time..." and then repent for not having acted towards it earlier! Friendship Rocks! And thus, this is dedicated to the girl I'm talking about for the last few lines - Dilpreet! :) (Missed you yaar!)

First Day of Class... :D
There's always a first day of any particular class in our lives, which we may enjoy, loath or feel any other such feeling that makes us happy! But the one I'm talking about here is the first day of our Spanish Class at RKM Golpark...the one for whose admission we had to undergo a drenching situation for several hours from the morning on one particular date (check the previous blog "Wet Dedication"). I was talking sincerely about our dedication to education in that one, right? So I guess, this is what is our "dedication"! :D
We all went from different directions to meet up at the front gate, at the alloted time, a few minutes before the class timings. We receive an unexpected shock from one of our friends - she had forgotten the entry pass itself!!! :P Now, this is nothing too big but the point which is to be noted is coming as you go on reading.
We simply stare at each other and keep on thinking how to manage the situation. Now, we got our admission as a full gang, but only three of us came today for the classes. Others were busy in their own manner ( ;) :D). Now, I had a slight nudge in my mind which told me to utter the following words - "Hmmm....since the entry to the institute is not at all possible, lets go hang around somewhere, have some coffee and fun!" But instead, this comes out - "Okay Okay, I have my earlier class ID card with me. Just flip it in front of the guards, they won't notice!". I don't know how the hell these came out from MY mouth, but they did! One of my close friends, whose mentality is typically the same as mine, just stared at me in a certain disbelief! She too had that same thought going on, but I think she was hesitant enough. But thank God she spoke out her mind...and then what? I simply supported the notion of going to a cafe instead of the boring, steaming sauna-type Spanish Classroom. :P
Numerous snapshots of various cafes kept on flickering in our minds. Now the third person was a bit reluctant, but I guess she too got carried away....I mean c'on, these kind of notions are truly a bit contagious provided you are a fun loving person! So coming back...we started walking, trying to zero in on the perfect location! One of us...comes up with a particular hang out spot and we all agree! But that moment was a bit short lived! We go there, smartly get seated, ordering for a menu card and voila! We simply find ourselves in a high "cash-crunch" situation! So what to do? We get the hell outta there, and go to our original hang out cafe : CCD. So finally....we get to choose some of the cheap items from the menu cards and end up spending the entire class period in the coffee shop! It was fun, I have to admit! Sometimes, the thought of bunking the class did bother us, but what the f*ck! We have the right to bunk and enjoy, don't we? :D :D
So, the point of writing this article is that be serious to your studies and educational commitments people....the way we are. Of course we just bunked this class (maybe we'll do the same next day as well :P), but hey....we did catch on of our friends to have a glance at the notes. Conclusion - we may be bunkers, but we ARE SINCERE! That's the whole point! So just go out and bunk! I hope all the college people will definitely agree with me. Right?
