One LAST Post...

So, recently I have noticed a few things. Things that I have been told before by one of you (you know who you are), but just never realized how real, and serious they were. And this thing is expectation. Yes… EXPECTATION

I have been told that I expect a lot from people. Expect them to be the way I want them to be, if that makes sense. I expect them to trust me as much as I trust them, to respect me the way I do them, to care as much as I do, etc etc…I expect them mean the same thing while calling me a friend, as I do when I call them the same. But THAT’S where I am wrong. Friendship doesn’t mean the same for everyone. And the worst thing I can possibly do is expect their definition to be the same as mine. And that…is what I do.
Well, I have realized this now. Have also realized how my expectations are close to unrealistic for this day and age… So, sorry guys to impose those on you…I realize how annoying that must have been for all of you. But unfortunately, thats who I am. I know i cannot change others, and do not intend on changing myself much either...so there really is just ONE thing to do.

So here is an entry, a long awaited one indeed, to…well not really clear things up…but something like a clean cut…a clear end…a closure, so to speak. So here it goes... Here is me:

• Thanking you all for being patient with this Utterly Annoying Bitch (wasn’t that the name for me, when we were all given names sometime last quarter…maybe close…Sonal? Radhika?)
• Promising you all that this will be the last of the annoyance from my side

12 Days, 1 Hour !!!

Thanksgiving!

So, I started off this thanksgiving break by thanking God…

Thank You God, for all your blessings…
Thank You God, for being there with me when I most needed…
Thank You God, for granting me with presence of mind when my life depended on it…
Thank You God, for giving me good reflexes…
Thank You God, for having your nice little ways of reminding us of your existence… if not for that, I wouldn’t have remembered to thank you for all the things.
And most importantly, Thank You God, for keeping me alive to thank you for these!

The weekend that followed this was pretty much the usual, with an addition of the excitement, shopping and packing for my trip in winter break. There were a couple dinners, a lot of planning, some phone calls, and somewhere in there studying for finals…

15 Days and 23 Hours !!!! :)

22 Days, and 23 Hrs ... :)

Update

so, since ppl have been bugging me to update this blog, here it goes...an update whit whats been on my mind lately....

............ 24 days, 15 hrs!!!!

Imagine the scenario:

You are at a friend’s house visiting for a couple days. During this time, you spend quiet a lot of time with everyone there: your friend’s parents, his/her siblings, and a cousin who also happens to be there for a few days.
So, you are sitting in the family room, chit-chatting with them all. All are laughing and joking around…when out of nowhere, the joking conversation turns into an argument between one of your friend’s siblings and his/her cousin.

How do you react to this? What do you do? What do you think?







Now, you see this argument escalating and becoming a serious issue. The cousin slaps the sibling and the sibling slaps back. Your friend and everyone else is quiet and have no idea what to do. This goes on for a few minutes. You could not figure out a good reason for why such an escalation over such a small matter which was being joked about to begin with. No one else says anything the whole time, but seems really upset and confused at what was going on.

What is your reaction now? Do you try to follow the argument? do you pretend that it is normal and that nothing unusual was happening? Or do you get up and try to help them resolve or try to say something to break the tension?







This continues for a while, after which everyone in the house, except you, burst into laughter, including the sibling and the cousin. You are completely confused. You have no idea how the joke that turned into a fist fight turned back into a joke in a fraction of a moment. You are then told, that the whole thing was an act played to see how you reacted. The cousin didn’t really hit the sibling, and the sibling didn’t really hit back, and the rest of the family members weren’t really upset or confused. It was all an act to get YOU

Now what? Do you laugh with them? Do you laugh at yourself to actually fall for that? How do you feel about the whole thing now?

oooops

So, upon people's request, i logged on to write something so i could have a new entry. but ofcourse i did not know what to write, so i decided on making changes to my setings....and guess what, i managed to delete the blog itself. Yupppp....and now that i think about it, i find myself kicking myself off of things lately...the good thing about this is that i can restart another blog :)
