There have been no new experiences, no indulgence in interesting activities, nothing to talk about really. I have learnt nothing new. I did read a book and a statement in it captured all my attention.
‘Will is Force’
Force reminds me of Newton, always!
According to his first law of motion:
Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
Hell, I need a will to change. And I don’t get it!

Mom on her wedding day!
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times,
in life after life, in age after age forever.

Tag – Few random facts and crazy habits
M! Tagged with me the comment, Iris – I love reading her answers and just so that I can see a new post up on her blog. Awwww… now when someone tags you with such sweet comments, you cannot sit back and continue to be a louse. So, here...
Tag Rules
1) Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
2) People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
3) At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment and
4) If you fail to do this within eight hours, you will have to acknowledge Quicksilver as the Queen of the Universe (*I already did, and now it's your turn guys*)
**************************************************************************************************************************** 1) Black - That’s my colour. You will mostly find me dressed in black tees. If I wear anything drastically different, I feel like an alien walking around. White and red come next. My wardrobe is mostly limited to these three colours.
2) You will never see my nails painted. They can’t breathe with paint on!
3) I get obsessed with things (Thank God! Not people :-), especially with things to eat and do. I indulge like crazy. Once, I’ve had enough, I don’t look back.
4) I like to keep my arms covered. You will spot me in full sleeves, always. I feel more feminine. (Dunno, if that works as an excuse:p)
5) I like symmetry. Distorted shapes/designs/colours disturb me. I can’t sleep on a bed that has either dark-coloured bed sheets or cluttered patterns on them.
6) I have a bit of night-blindness (or so I think:D). So sit in my car in the nights at your own risk:D.
7) Whenever I go shopping, I always have a problem deciding between two things. I just get stuck and make everyone go mad… till I am made to buy both:D
8) I don’t really believe in 'A' soul-mate. But there are some people I meet just once, and I know I like them immensely. I speak to these people with all my heart and I know they understnad me.
Okay now, @tom, Ish, sai, Gopal, Alex, Lemon, DJ and Shalu... you guys need to sit down right away and chalk down this list. You may feel nice after you are done, just like I am right now:-)))))))))) Thanks M!

Tag - Thinking Blogger Award
Okay, so I agree! High time we had some kind of awards for WE, the poor bloggers who spend endless hours raving and ranting about the never-ending miseries that strike our otherwise frikkin torturous lives.
Yes WE, the bloggers spend unbelievable hours to glorify all our deeds and bring about a holier than thou image when we are only monsters in the making.
And yes, it is also WE, the same set who is blessed with prodigies (and not to forget the ones in the making) who can express their inner beauty with an ease that is as natural as the flow of a river. These are the ones who reflect their revolutionary ideas with electricity that jolts the dormant cells in your brain, who express honest concerns in the nudest of their forms that shames you for ignorance, and who share their child-like innocent thoughts with a beauty that wrenches your heart and pleases your soul.
So, ladies and gentlemen, all this effort and talk is not in vain.
DJ tagged me with the Thinking Blogger Award.
He sure is Kind! And I know you agree:-)
And hell, I am pleased and I feel honored but I am also wondering… Do I ever think? ummm… at all?
I’ll be honest. Oh! I like being honest, you know.
Nothing, absolutely nothing hits my head. It’s blank! Thoughts don’t come easy and yes, I need the jolts that would pain me enough to wipe off the fungus and let me grow.
As luck would have it, I do get blessed occasionally with people who sprinkle their magic and charm on me and I feel renewed. And I want to thank these magicians who touch souls with their gestures, their thoughts and their being.
Thanks! I read you and I grow:-)

The Paragraph Tag
I've been tagged by Alex and Gopal to publish the 5th paragraph of page 123 of the book I am currently reading. Thank you people and I am sooo sorry for taking ages to post it. Hope I will be forgiven by you!!! :-)
I also tag: M!, Nautilus, Meera, Lemon and DJ. Hope you will enjoy this:-)))))
The rules of this Tag:
1. Name the person (of course with the link) who tagged you.
2. Describe what you are asked to do, in this case publish 5th paragraph of page 123 of the book you are currently reading. (if the page does not have 5th paragraph, take the last paragraph. And if the book doesn’t have page no. 123, take the last page.)
3. Tag five people.
Well, I am not reading anything right now, but I am posting a paragraph each from two books that are currently lying with me right here right now.
This excerpt below is from a book that has been lying on my desk for long now, and is about a man I quite admire...
'Riders on the Storm –John Densmore'
2nd Para, Page 122
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end, it hurts to set you free,
But you’ll never follow me,
The end, of laughter and soft lies,
The end of nights we tried to die.
Can you picture what will be, so limitless and free,
desperately in need, of some stranger's hand,
In a desperate land Morrison at his best, or is that him at his worst???? Dunno...
This other one is an excerpt from a book that I picked up from my hotel room in Jaipur last month, 'The Essential Dalai Lama – His important teachings’.
“Of course, if you believe we have only this present life, then at death everything comes to an end. But if you accept the possibility of future lives, then death is just like changing your clothes. The continuity of the mind goes on. However, as we have no idea what the future holds, it is necessary to engage now in practices that will help us then.”
Dalai Lama, always at his best:-))))))))))))

So long…
It’s so tough for me to say Goodbyes. It’s painful!
It feels horrible to have things that make up your world , go away.
And it hurts to see them hurt.
My car got bashed last night. It's almost died.
Thank you for being SO SO wonderful to me and being with me all these years!

Raindrops keep falling on my head:-)
Delhi feels nice. It has been raining! And I am in love with those tiny droplets falling straight form the heavens and spreading ripples of love and joy. It’s beautiful! The pitter-patter and the sweet chill that makes you want to snuggle up to someone in your quilt and gaze out at the rain from your window.
The other day at Dilli Haat, I wanted to hold an umbrella and move around in the rain and enjoy the fresh downpour. I wanted to jump into puddles and send water splashing at my friends. I wanted to run around in the fresh breeze and be chased by them for dirtying their clothes. But I was made to stand under a shed like a louse and sip that hot coffee so that I don’t fall sick. How very boring! :(((
I know winters are still on, but what the heck! I love it when it pours:-)))))

My dreams are dead!
I think I killed them,
Or maybe they died a natural death.
Did they commit suicide?
Perhaps!
I search within,
Not a sight
Nor a word from them.
I am glad they are dead,
Those demons!
Some were beautiful.

Life is a wonderfulcoaster!
(Wrote this few months ago, but this seems to be the appropriate time to post it. And here it goes... )
I always thought my life was incomplete and something was amiss. I was always searching….searching for a purpose, a reason, perhaps to live, love or die.
I did not know that the real joy lies in holding the reins of your life in your own hands. We just revel in being swayed by the flow of the stream where it takes us and believe that is our destiny.
Not doing anything about our incompleteness and the voids that exist……we turn into these vulnerable beings; anyone can fill the voids with their truth and their lies, with real and illusions of eternal love, bonding and life.
Ignorance vanishes when knowledge arrives.
And when it does…..it takes you by a serious surprise!!!
Well, it’s important to let go, to let loose, to free all that binds you and your soul!
There will be spaces, but you must learn to fill them up quickly. It’s important to be in constant motion. We need to end the cycles that we are done with, to start new beginnings that give us bigger lessons and even greater joys.
Life is an experience and we are set out on a journey......everything that goes by, is a means to an end.
But nah....there is no end....there is just you!!! And you are the end!
And to all you wonderful ends..... I wish you great beginnings, new lessons, happier times and wonderful new joys :-)
God bless:-)
