The Journey

Every Stop is a destination
Every stop opens other path before us
Every stop has other travelers ahead and behind. 
If this road ended here.. we would walk into another 
Seeking new horizon, We our only guide. 
Don’t let the time erase the footprint
Hope to meet in some other crossroad of this life.

Whatever

That exact moment
where you have nowhere to go
no one to lookup to
no one to vent
no soul who would understand leave alone support
when all that is around is misunderstanding and disappointment

Sucking everything out of "whatever is left of life"

wondering if I am the biggest disappointment ever. EVER

How I kept up my 2013 resolutions

1. Start Each day with enthusiasm

          Yup started each day with a bang and then a banging head ache.

This year I am going to set the alarm ringtone to some song starting with "Enthusiasm"

2. Be super happy with what you have

          Yup I am happy with my thinning hair. Yup Super duper happy.        

3. Improve Vocabulary

Spent hours browsing through Imgur to understand the jokes on "your and you are and ur".

          Wonderful learning indeed. You should try reading them sometime.

4. Maintain weight

Losing weight is hard. So maintaining weight is much easier.  So even after i put on 10 kgs, I try to maintain it.

          Hard Task. But yes I am still maintaining it.

5. Read those books

Going through a the last 2 pages of that book, damn I dont remember the name of that book. Yeah I did read those 2 pages to see if I had noted down the phone number of the pest control guy there.

6. Start Driving

          I did drive the car which was parked on the tow truck. Dint I ?

7. Spend less time in front of computer

Bought a new tab. spent rest of the hours on the tab. Now I spend only office hours on laptop.

8. Meet new people.

Spoke to that officer in Mumbai international terminal coz i wanted a luggage trolley. This counts right. Yeah it does.

9. Learn something new

Never wear a stiletto to a new office building before you know what kind of carpet / flooring they have. Never I say... Never

10. Complete everything which I ever start

Completed watching Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn Part 2.  You know it is such a difficult task to watch all three parts, just because you watched part 1 and you have to stick to your resolution. Go through it and you will know the pain.

Based on my 2013 experience , I have decided to keep my 2014 resolution very simple:

"Become a Ghost Hunter"

So easy to achieve this I say. Come back near year to know my Ghost hunting experiences

Mourn, my friend!
I can give no comfort
As I mourn with you

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal
Death leaves an empty space which no one call fill
It leaves behind memories
sometime as fresh as nothing is past
It stops all the clocks
And Roars all the thoughts

Mourn, my friend!
I can give no comfort
As I mourn with you

What! You too weird? I thought I was the only one.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: 
‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.’ - C.S. Lewis

And I have a few good friends to whom I have said 
"OMG.. you too this weird.. hehehe.. come on Gimme Company" 

Cheers to all my weird friends from all over.. coz I know we respect each other's nonsense.

6. Am I feeling hungry or is my stomach burning ?
7. what to trust at work .. politics or work?
8. why am I writing a blog with numbered list? 

Don't know how to end this post.. Actually don't know why I started writing this post. 

The Bleak Year Ahead

The thinning river of humanity
Black muddy bank of reality
Throbbing sleety rain of tears
That green safe cover that it was
Is now a deserted land
The helping hand that was
Is now dried up rock

Things we cherished
depart day by day
The fear looms
that we shall too perish soon

A murmur from the place
between life and death
A cry for life
A fight for right

Nothing changes
The new year
brings no new hope
Its just another day
For every Nirbhaya alive

A nice quote

A quote my grandpa used to carry around in his wallet

Dear Friends .. I hate you

Many would say that if tomorrow is the end of the world, tell people how much you love them.

But I would say, tell people how much you hated them, coz you have lived all your life acting to be nice to them and dealing with them everyday. Before we die we deserve to have that peace of mind which comes from yelling at someone. 

So here is my list  .. My Hate list

Dear Sasikala , 3rd Std B section, Stealing my pencil with rubber head was not good. Pinching me and making me sit at the end of the table while you occupied the whole seat were barbaric acts. I hate you. 

Dear Chandrasekar , 5th Std A section, telling my cousin brother that I cried in the class (for the reason I don't remember now) was very uncool. you broke all laws of friendship. I hate you.

Dear Nandini and Nirmala , 7th std x section, asking "When did Gandhiji kick the bucket?" in the class history quiz was cheating and was against rules. Your father may have been an English professor but you cannot expect the whole class to understand "kick the bucket". 

My team lost because of this question. I hate you. 

Dear Pavithra , 8th Std A section, you were my best friend when I joined Boston. your grey big eyes were always questioning me.. but i don't remember those questions now. you were quite intimidating . don't know why. still we sat together in all classes for one whole year!! 

Dear Mahalakshmi Ma'am , beating me with scale for scoring 99 for losing 100 by one mark, coz Karthik from 12B was able to score 100, was an atrocity. I suffered from performance anxiety for long time. 

Dear Priya and Pragan (9th std to 12th std) and Kavitha (4yrs BE) 

you girls were and are beautiful. I was always with you girls during school and college. The ugly duckling in me was sad sometimes as you all hogged all the limelight all the time. 

Dear AP@#*&^* , you are a bitch. 

Dear ex-colleagues, taking me for granted that I will work late hours coz you missed the requiremenmts of that module and dumping the work on me .. was WRONG. You will be fried in hell day after tomorrow.

Dear Santhosh .. Stop reading my FB posts and blog posts for finding grammatical errors.  :P 

Dear All my FB friends.. When I say I broke my leg.. stop "like"ing it. 

Dear  everyone who called me as "Preeth" or "Preethey".. Mt. everest will come rolling and fall on your head if tomorrow is the doomsday. 

Dear Husband. "HMMM" is not the reply I expect when I complain of bursting head ache. 

Dear Preethe.. Yeah you. Get a life. Snap out of the anger . Stop writing crap and start living. 

HAAAA.. such a relief. I can rest in peace now. 

Good bye friends for now. See you after doomsday.

I am going to get so drunk tomorrow that I would know that the world ended when I meet you all in HELL. 

Lets go paint Hell red. 

Girls... Kavitha, Priya.. I love you both.. you both still rock!

Confused or Confirmed Atheist?

Say Dec 21st 2012 actually is the doomsday
Then I will be dead. So i wont be alive to believe in God.

If we live after Dec 21st 2012
Then I don't have a reason to believe in God.

OK I know.. I am messed up agnostic right now.

The new murphy law

If the possibility exists of several body parts itching,
The one that will itch the most
Will itch like hell
While playing temple run

The phase of life

That phase where we move from being exceptionally excluded to optionally included. #sucks

That only Question

The answer to this
Would help me through
Or break me down.

The question is
Am I good enough?

Zindagi.. kaisi hai paheli

Dilon mein tum apni               
Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho               
Toh zinda ho tum               
Nazar mein khwabon ki               
Bijliyan leke chal rahe ho               
Toh zinda ho tum

I just love these words.
And love this movie

A good evening

Attended my cousin's daughter's wedding reception.
Met a few interesting people.
Met a few close relatives for the first time ( ironic isnt it)

Had a good time with my brother and sister in law.
An evening well spent.

Down the Memory Lane

Past is a desolated castle
Search for the forgotten
Ends in the dim lit memory lane
Echoes of giggles
Whispers of deadly screams
Pierces the mist
The white light on the mirror
The familar forgotten face
The silence, the pain
And the image that looked
A lot more fat....

This , That and All

1st Person: You did "This" because of this,  you were forced to do "that" which failed. You were not supposed to "this"  as it is wrong.
2nd Person: As a part of usual routine I did "this" . dont know why "that" failed. I asked others if "that" failed coz of them. Got no answer from them.

Now does that qualify the 2nd person from doing "this" coz nobody took the blame for the failed "that" even after the 2nd person knows that doing "this" is wrong.
