MY SONNET OF LOVE.....

I hate the thought that you cover all my thoughts;
I hate the thought that i think about you when i laugh and i cry.
I hate the thought that i still long for you;
I hate the thought that you cant read my thoughts.

I hate the way you dress,
I hate the way you live in mess.
I hate the way you talk,
I hate the way you walk.

I hate it when you don't call me;
I hate it even more when you do and make me tongue tied.
I hate it when you don't smile at me;
I hate it even more when you do and make me forget myself.

I hate the wonderful walks we had untold times;
I hate the delightful luncheons we had together.
I hate the fact that i cannot forget you;
I hate the verity that you are gone forever.......

The Unending Saga of My Country....

Am I a Hindu first or an Indian first?
Am I the President of India first or an Indian first?
Am I the supporter if any 'ism' first or an Indian first?
Am I a youth/senior citizen first or an Indian first?

In all the above am an Indian first,last and always...

I found these lines in a national magazine and from then on have been thinking about India..its diverse customs,traditions and habits.60 years of independence..largest democratic.. a lot to feel proud of and a lot to forget.

From ‘India- a country somewhere in Asia’ we moved on to become ‘India- the emerging superpower’.Its a country where hunger and poverty still rule but it is also country where there is no drought of happiness. We carry our malice less hearts on our tongue and we make a bond with everyone.We might not make an Oscar winning movie but we are more than happy with our ‘6 ghaane,5 fight’ flick. ‘Satisfaction’ and ‘Struggle’ are the words we learn when we are still in the womb..'make your own destiny' is the mantra we always chant.

We make a stone and a tree our God and believe a parrot can predict our future.We stop our work when someone sneezes and we go to our work only when our loved ones bid us a goodbye.We pushed the woman into fire when her husband died,we made the woman first citizen of our country.Our mothers showed us the deep dark melancholy sky and bright stars and we went on to step on the moon.We dream of becoming a millionaire and say we achieve what we dream.

The 2 C s Cricket and Cinema bind us together and another C-Caste divides us altogether...We believe our myths to be facts but we are not blind to the changing face of the world..we elect our own rulers and dethrone them each time they do not meet our expectations.We gave the world 'Zero' and made impossibles possible.We wake up everyday we the hope that the day has something in store for us and that optimism makes each day worth living for us.

The dosa we have form a street side shop is the real treat for our taste buds and our day does not end without having a plate of panipuri..The tea we have in morning keeps our spirits high and the gossip we share at our colony park down the street makes us bond with everyone..Food is the thing that bonds us together and spicy food is what we all carve for.

We do 'Bhangra' for the loud beats of Punjabi songs and we swing swiftly to show our mettle in 'Salsa'..We wanted Raj and Simran to be together and we prayed for the end of Mogamboo.. Triumph of good over the evil is the theme we digested...We cried when Parvathi was necked out of the house and we rejoiced when Mihir and Tulasi met..Showbiz is the word which keeps us engrossed and we enjoy gossip as much as we love to relish two famous personalities ego clash being captured on live video!We detest ekta kapoor,himesh and reality shows the most but cant help but to watch them

At the end of the day we retire from all the tough times we had hoping for a miracle to happen the next day... Gotta agree..

We are same same but different:)

Hey Happy New Year!!
happy new year!!
new year resolutions???..ahemmm...well..yea right..got it!!..its this..nah nah..not this..

Its 2008..have been waiting for this year for a long time now..nah..no astroleger told me its gonna be amazingly great for me... its just the thought that this year is a leap year, facinates me :)

In all the conversations i had with people since yesterday..there is this one question everyone asked me..NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS..I dont have any answer for that because i have not made any...This might sound quiet cliché and i guess many might have got bored with this kinda reply..but anyway here i go..WHY DO I HAVE TO MAKE A RESOLUTION ONLY TODAY??..Annoying right??hehe..i know..

All the news papers and channels are busy giving the flash back of 2007..the widely discussed one is BOLLYWOOD.. On any day this is the hot topic in our country...The news about the hits and flops,SRK's and Shekar Suman's newly built body,Shilpa Shetty's Big Brother show(she has been in news this year for almost everything she did),Rakhi Sawanth for her emotions in a reality show when she lost it,the so called 'wedding of the year'-Bachchan's wedding..RGV's disaster AAG...whoooop..the list seems endless!!!!

Next comes our Cricket...At first it was the unpardonable exit of our team from World Cup 2007 and the series of events that followed it giving birth to ICL...Then, after few moths it was time when our Men in Blue became the World T20 champions..Cricket is in news almost everyday..not a single day goes without a report relating to cricket...After all its been a way of life for Indians:)

Ok why am i giving the report 2007???..i cut it...2007 for me, has been great for more than one reason..but thats over now..i have made few resolutions some time back(yeah..while i was typing this blog) for this year..

1.Maintaine my personal journal...(gosh!..i make this one every year!)
2.Keeping my room as neat as possible(probably i have to stay out of it all the time then)
3.Making atleast one person stop the habit of biting nails(its gonna be Sharanya..:P)
4.Attending all my classes regularly and concentrating while the lecture is going on(what a resolution!...hate myself for that)
5.Making one wish from my wishlist come true..

Probably i might update this everyday

I hate 2007 for one thing...this was the year when my chilhood dream of becoming First Women President of India broke...:(
This 2007 brought the writer out of me(!!)..have been blogging for a year now...hmmmm..never knew i could crap so much...

Whole of 366 days ahead now...2008..here we come:)
