Good night!

More action! The ups and downs continue!
Today was soo much better ! I woke up dreaming about the result of my semester exams and it actually came true! The result came out today morning, and I got a real pleasant surprise, did really well, so I am very happy!

I almost feel guilty for taking out my frustration here.You all have been so nice to me:)

Well..I've got into this habit of making short quick posts. Not good. I must change it!

Hmm..Time for some Random thoughts :)

You know I just hate it when people don't reply, or don't call back. It's so rude.. and I get totally turned off by it. Then I just don't feel like calling those people again. Why do some people hv to do this!

I think I've been cribbing too much recently. so let's digress.

Am I superstitious? I'd like to believe I'm not. But there are times when I do things which force me to believe the contrary. Like I'm always scared of talking too much about some thing which is about to happen, some good news, something I'm looking forward to, cause I'm afraid it'll get spoilt. Something will happen which will mess it up. And it does happen doesn't it? Maybe it's not just because you told others, but the next time u'd like to keep ur mouth shut wudn't u?

But other than that I don't think I am really superstitious.. I mean I don't believe in chain letters. I delete those very mails which tell me something really horrible will happen to me if i delete them and I must must, absolutely must forward it to atleast a 100 people right now!
Why do we believe in these chain mails? and these days chain sms? do we really think something like this would happen?

This is turning out to be too boring a post. I think I've lost it and I should go to sleep.. or better still go and work on this assignment for class.. * yawn *

Hmm..well you know what, I believe what goes around comes around.. so be careful of the way you act.. tomorrow you might be at the receiving end.. Life is always in balance..

Receiving or recieving? I think it's the first one, but i'm too lazy to check!why do they have such confusing words. Although there hv been times when I messed up spellings of much simpler words. And especially at places where it cost me..lol.. this happened during college. The first day of ragging. Somehow while we were being ragged we were asked our hobbies, i said surfing the net amongst other things.. and then someone asked, so tell me the spellings of surfing.. and guess what i said? sruf!! they didn't let me forget tht after tht!! Of course i knew how surfing was spelt.. but hey i was being ragged !! i was nervous..lol.. ragging time was fun actually. I enjoyed getting ragged more than ragging others once i became a senior.I just didnt have the right attitude to rag i think..

I haven't been blog surfing these days.. I think I'll just end this post here and go check out some more interesting stuff on everyone else's blog ;)
Gnite!

Hey the correct spelling is receiving...
Chain mails..LOL.. One sick friend of mine sent me a mail asking to send it to 10 people if i really loved my mom. Else blah blah blah..
What the heck...I dont need a certificate of a chain mail to show how much i care..

Congratulations on your semester result. :). Really glad that the day was much better than the previous one.

Ragging is fun and i really enjoyed being ragged than ragging others maybe I din have the right attittude for it ( Sounds familiar?). Me was ragged quite badly, maybe some day I will post abt my ragging experiences.

Ciao mate.

Anirudh 'Lallan' Choudhry said...

my sem results are out too n guess wat..i got 4 supplies.

Anand said...

Hey Neha,
Well I too believed I wasnt superstituous at all....well so was soo wrong--and worst part is I didnt even realise that I did have own 'things am touchy abt!" till very late!

teacup said...

I have a huge comment for this one but will try cutting it down:)


first, congrats!!!good results!!ahhhaaaa, those days!!!I have forgotten how it feels to get a good result:((...guess, i should go work on it:)

dun feel guilty, please!!otherwise I'll have to start feeling guilty too!!I do that tooo:))...oh hell, do i have to feel guilty too:(


same here!! ppl can't even follow basic courtesy of replying back, very rude!!


well, I have kinda observed a lot bout Hindi superstitions, U knw, wat I think we all are in a way, but Some of hindu supersitions are not meerly tht, they do have sme scientific reasoning behind them...I think I'll make a post bout tht!!


yup, I too believe in tht, infact I always say, "As you sow, so shall you reap".


I just pity my frnds with whom I chat online...I am terrible at spellings, all computer's fault!!and ragging days:)) though I hated them then , now i rem them with extreme fondness:) I rem, in our coll, we had this huge formatt whicg included every possible thing, when it came to fav song, I was so nervous, I by mistake said, celine dion when I wanted to say shania twain(you still d one) and every one burst out laffin!!!hehhe, anyway, gudnite:)

Som said...

Good Night,
Nice pick up......
Many Thanks

Anirudh 'Lallan' Choudhry said...

Vivekanand M said...

Hi
reached ur blog thro blog hopping :)
congratzzz for ur sem mark :D
even i get superstitious...while surfing, i hve an order by which i visit sites..its lyk i rcv gud mails only if i surf in tat particular order...nvr tried nethin to the contrary but since this has always worked out,i hve not tried nethin ls..

The Individualist said...

I like these posts. The spontaneous ones that pour in all the thoughts that wander around the surface of the brain at that moment....
And lol, you were right when you said you had a feeling that 'receiving' was right. And yeah, ragging can be very very useful and constructive. Somehow, in my college, when I first got in, it was always the other way around. As in, the juniors used rag the seniors. Lol We kind of set a benchmark on that...
And as for not wanting to talk on some imminent something fearing the result being ruined, hmm I have to agree that its one of those things that I hate myself for. Even though I tell myself that its stupid and that the conclusion cannot be dependent on what I say, I've found out more often than not that it is. When I shut my mouth up for good, it works. When I don't, it doesn't. Oh maybe, the situations have just worked out that way. Maybe I am just plain wrong when I try to shut my mouth and not go raving about some imminent thing... but most often, I can't keep quiet. Am just not tuned for it. I blurt out everything and wait nervously for the result. And it arrives. Packaged. And screwed. lol The world is weird. Wonder if there is some psychological connection between what we expect and what arrives. I have a feeling there is.

manu_the_lawgiver said...

hey long time since u rambled this way, welcome back to d rambler's club, though im not a member. Im very clear abt my thoughts u c, my mind doesnt wander arnd like urs:P Even i hate peopl who dont call bk or reply bk its so disgusting. Me a li'l superstitious but definitely not abt chain smses n mails. I never forward them.Hey Neha atleast u can afford to forward chain smses cos u've d 1 paisa sms.Me cant even afford that so in short im not superstitious abt stuff which i cant afford being superstitous abt;)and yes since u said gnite at d end i shuld also end d comment wid a gnite. Its already 1.30, me going to sleep thus gudnite also seems appropriate. So GOODNIGHT

Nessa said...

Hiya, I've not been reading other blogs for a long time too... In a way I'm glad there's lots to read :)

What you were describing is more Murphy's law than Superstition :P

*hugs*

Sudarshan said...

Congrats on getting a good result..thats such a sigh of relief!! I got mine too , last week, and by troy, I'm happy..and relived lol:-) I get superstitious too sometimes lol particularly before exams..but the rest of time :mostly no. However,I'm in total agreement with one thing you'v mentioned: Even I hate it when people don't respond or reply!! Congrats once again Neha:-)

Yasser Rahman said...

hmmm..interesting, i tend to talk about whatever is going to happen even before it happens!

Keshi said...

**You know I just hate it when people don't reply, or don't call back. It's so rude..

true...but the best thing to do when someone doesnt return a call is to let em find out what u wanted to say by their own means....some day it will reach to them.

Am I superstitious? Not all the time but there r certain things that I cannot think of any other reason for em to be that way...

Keshi.

coolvir said...

Have you ever wondered that even most of the conventions are technically superstitions ;)

Anyways congrats for the good results that you are gettin :) :)

Neha said...

@anand, we live in illusions i think :)

@yashita, hey thts a lovely long comment..lol.. i love it! u didnt hv to even try to cut it down!

thanks..and hey i'm sure u can do it too!
and i'm done with feelign guilty. not even one bit of guilt here.. so u betetr do the same!
scientific reasoning behind the superstitions.. hmm i'd like to see tht post.
lol.. so everyoen makes such goofups.. n u noe it's probably such moments tht v remember later on..which make life so memorable :)


ok.. here we go again.. another freaky thing..lol..i was just trying out this template.. took about an hour and hlaf to get everything in order.. i like the look though.. will stick with it for sometime now i think.
gudnite.. :)

@som, pick up? umm.. well gnite! :)

@Viive, thanku ! thts a new one.. order of visiting.. interesting! it's just wat we get into our head isnt it?

@Sudhir, yeah the cluttered thoughts in my head.. tth need an outlet ;)
juniors used to rag seniors!! u had some very nice seniors!!lol..

so true.. we keep telling ourselves tht no it doesn't matter.. but then if by chance we say it and soemthing wrong we'll just put 2 and 2 together.. even though tht thing wud probably have happened anyways.. but well.. our brain's too cmplex :) or maybe there is really something.. i once read something abt positive and negative evergies. it said the more negative we think .. the worse things we expect to be bad are going to be..

Well.. the easiest solution.. shut ur mouth ;)

@mani, lol.. i was always in the club.. and ull see many more such ramblings in the future :)
yeah yea... ujust cant do it :P
wat r u superstitious abt? u left a riddle there! :)
yeah i can afford it.. but who's got the time! :)

@anjaan, all the time.. everywhere, everyday! :)

@nessa, where hv u been girl? ! a big hug to ya!
Murphy's law.. yeah..sound so funny when u read them.. not so much when u go thru them..lol..

@sudarshan, oh yeah big relief it was!! congratulations to u too!

@yasser, thts precisely wat i'm talkin abt ;) and does it make any difference? it doesn't.. yet we feel it does..

@keshi, well.. it's not abt getting a message across.. mayb u just called a friend to say hello.. hell they shud hv this much courtesy.. come on ppl it doesn't take too much of ur time

@coolvir, conventions r technically supersitions? how how?

Cheers to the optimism! Love the new look of your blog! its very cool :)

Anonymous said...

You have nothing better to dream about than semester results? And you did say what your result was...

I sort of prefer short quick posts.

Long posts are kind of boring. I stopped at 'This is turning out to be too boring a post'.

Yes, chain mail is such a headache. And I think you can never answer the question, 'Am I superstitious?' with a Yes/No type of answer.

The Individualist said...

The first time I saw your new template, I was slightly disappointed. Because I was so much in love with the old one that I couldn't bear to see it being changed. And then, the colourful smears appeared, and I had to change my opinion slightly. The smears look beautiful... The colours.. And the gelly feel to it.. But well, am still inclined and more favorable to your old one...

AlterinG Abhishek said...

WOW...
what a classy template..
real Chic!!
Cheeerz

Anil said...

Very well written... and nice blog...

Whats that, you delete the chain mails? I report them as "SPAM" :) :P

Happy Blogging,

am

when viewed on a widescreen laptop, the text goes out of the white bg on the left and the page looks messy cos of it.

The Individualist said...

I've just realised. What slightly undermines this new template is the bland pink outer covering to it to the left and right. That's what puts the whole template down by quite a few inches. So, yeah... That's about it. :D

Swetha said...

well..i don't reveal things before it happens coz it wld b exasperating when ppl constantly question u as 2 y it didn't happen,jus in case if it doesn't happen.its human nature2 complicate simple things by linking it with the rest that happened,of course with certain exceptional cases here and there.i've never been lucky enough 2 b ragged coz it wld b me who do carry on that great task...ha ha he he

coolvir said...

Conventions are technically superstitions.Only difference being that conventions are followed by MOST and superstitions only by SOME.

For eg... Most ppl never wears a Jeans or a Cargo when going to an interview....whereas some ppl never crosses a passing cat....

If you think both of them are equally logicless....but first is called convention and second superstitions only because MORE number of ppl follows first and LESS number follows second.

Argument against this logic is invited.....

Harashita R. R. Bajaj said...

hey nice template n nice blog too

teacup said...

hey when is it going to be "good morning"??:)

no new post!!:( I keep coming here, hoping to see something new...and all I see is good night!c'mon wake-up now:)

The Individualist said...

Coolvir,
I have a feeling that you've got it wrong. The difference between a convention and a superstition does not limit itself to the number of people following it, neither are both the terms same. A convention usually has some reason or a fact to back it up. In most conventions, evidences point out that though the reason is hidden, there is in most conventions a reason - a fact, why it is followed in the first place. And a superstition? Nopes. It doesn't obviously have a fact or it wouldn't be called a superstition. It is mostly based on mystical beliefs, and a belief in something even though evidences point to the contrary. So, in simple terms, not factual. Not reasonable.
That's about it, I guess. Does the logic sound okay?

Abhishek Upadhyay said...

Hey,
Really it feels so bad when no one responds your call or mail. That happens to me most of the time and now I am used to it. I call my friends and they promise that they will be in touch and will call atleast once in a week and then they forget you…now I have developed the “ Who cares” attitude and now things work fine for me….theres no point in being touch with people who don’t care for you…Most of my friends contact me only when they need me….

Yaar why don’t you post some thing more about your ragging. Same here, I enjoyed being ragged more than to rag others. I was made to wear my undies on my shorts and attach towel on the shoulders and was made to run around hostel shouting “ Superman…Superman”. One of my friend was made Phantom and other Shaktiman who went around hostel revolving round and round…and at that time our warden came…he was shocked to see half naked boys running around hostel shouting Phatom, Superman, Spiderman, Shaktiman. My seniors disappeare from the scene and we told our warden that were just having some fun…which he found too weird….
