Can someone answer these?

Just came back after seeing images of the Police beating and manhandling students protesting against Reservation at the India Gate. Do these students deserve to be treated like this, beaten by lathis just because they have dared to raise a voice against an issue? These people are not criminals, they are forced to protest because noone is paying attention to what they have to say. Noone is ready to raise the issue on their behalf. We call ourselves a secular, democratic state.. what kind of democracy is this where voice of the majority is not heard at all?? Don't we also form a vote bank for these politicions? Do our votes, our futures count for nothing?

Read a news report about kids running over a security gaurd while racing on the Gurgaon road. And then when they were trying to run off, some gaurds tried to catch them and in an attempt to escape they beat them up and even hit the injured gaurd. When the residents of the area caught them they tried to tell them of by saying they were kids of influential people and would get away in any case. Are these kids the future of our nation? Are these the kind of values parents teach their kids these days?

Procrastination

That's just a very fancy word for being lazy ;)

Why o why am i so lazy and why do i love sleeping so much!! Even in exam days I sleep for ten hours :) ... oops :(

I have to make my resume which is pending for days and months now.. who'll give me a job if i dont do this :((

I wish there were more than 24 hours in the day so I could waste even more ;)

It's not as if I'm always lazy.. when i'm working, I can be on my feet all day! If i have to finish something, I'll put in all my life and soul into it but usually at the last minute.. so the problem lies with the start. The ending is not so bad! :)

On normal days, I'll get up late, or if i get up early, I'll sit around, read the papers, get dressed aaram se and the end result is the same.. I'm late! Time management is something I have yet to learn properly..

I think another reason for this is that I hate waiting.. so i try not to reach early at any place..lol.

Stop laughing silly girl, this is not funny!! You'll get fired if u reach late for office too.. hopefully tht won't happen.. fingers crossed ! :D

Sigh I have to drag myself out of my computer chair now and go and study.. yawn

Adios..

Tag tag everywhere

I'm really out of ideas right now, so I'm finally going to do one of the tags tht have been pending for sooooooooo long. Been tagged by Neeta, Arvind , and Raghav to do this!

8 qualities the perfect guy should have.. according to me that is :)

So here goes..

Just 8?? tht would be tough.. shortening the list down to 8... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ;)

Can i just say I want everything possible and end it here? lol.. No? Ok !! ;) Well.. in no particular order, here are some of the things I can think of :

  • A sense of humour, and an ability to cheer me up and make me laugh whenever I'm feeling down.
  • Honesty, total and complete honesty.. Someone i can trust completely.
  • Understanding, he has to be my best friend before and above everything else..
  • Make me feel special, give me nice small surprises, make me feel like he cares a lot.. even worrying about me at times..lol... and always have time for me no matter what he's doing or where he is.
  • Intelligence, knowledge.. someone I can have a conversation with on any topic.. who can amaze me with all he knows, and enrich me with all tht knowledge too :)
  • Maturity, atleast some sense of responsibility, with a fun streak somewhere too, and a mixture of practicality and emotions and romanticism!
  • Patience.. lots of it.. cause u need it with me..lol
  • Simplicity..no show offs please!Sensitivity there's more too.. and i'm gonna fit it in the last point ;) making plans, remembering things, listening to whatever i say attentively ..and many many more but this is it for now :)
So this is it for now, will b back soon...err.. i hope soon :D

Feeling generous right now, I don't tag anyone :)
and i think almost everyone's already done this one :)

PS. It's become impossible to listen to FM these days, ever five minutes there's some himesh reshmaiyya song on some channel and i hate all of 'em!! they all sound the same to me! are there any other songs being made these days..

Thank god for some small mercies..I'v just fallen in love with these two songs from Gangster.. keep listening to them all day!!
Listen to this and this too !!

Broken into bits and pieces

People in this country or atleast this city do not know how to park their cars. And they have no consideration for others. They will just go and plomp their cars wherever they find space, no matter whether someone else gets stuck because of this. They will stop right in the middle of the road to enable someone to get off the car. Of course, you cannot expect them to walk a little or expect the driver to just take the car a little to the left so that others can pass. No, let everyone wait and honk!The road is ours and the honking is gonna fall on deaf ears anyways. And when you do get past them, they'll give you such a dirty look that it could actually make you think that you have done something wrong to them!

Ok! Now that I've got tht out.. I can move on to better things :-)

Do I really need to send a sms containing some chant to 10 people to make sure I pass my exams?I don't think so!! and i'm not gonna do it!

I know, I keep appearing and disappearing from the blog. I just have some very hectic days, and then there are days when I just don't study and sit and watch t.v. all day ;-)

At times, it seems to me like the courts are running this country, or atleast would be able to run the country more efficiently than the Government. Allright, they have their drawbacks.. but look at so many things happening around you. In Delhi, for instance, the CNG conversion, the sealing of illegal constructions, the shifting of industries.. all that has been made possible only because of the courts. Especially the environment related cases, where the court has shown real activism. The latest being the Narmada Bachao Andolan case. Left to the government, the rehabilitation is just not taking place. But why? Why do these displaced people have to fight so much and knock on the doors of courts to get what's their due! If only the government would do it's job properly. I think the most important issue right now is that proper rehabilitation must take place. The dam is being built.. it's not going to be stopped, and it's going to serve a lot of people. But don't forget those who have to suffer because of it. Don't they also come into your voting banks Mr. Politicion?

Memoirs of a would be lawyer

One day of staying at home trying to study and I'm bored already! I don't know how I'll spend the next one month.. I'm already getting cranky..lol :)

Hmm.. I think I need to get my brain to start working again.. it's been half asleep all day. The moment I open a book and read a few pages I feel sleepy. This could be the last time I'm giving exams.. and I just don't want to give them! I just don't want to study. Finishing with my studies, I'm going to start working soon. Don't know where I'll land up, how it's going to be.. it scares me at times, but I'm also looking forward to it in some ways. The first time I'll be independent.. my first salary.. have so much to buy with it..lol..I wanna buy something for everyone close to me! And I've been thinking of what to buy for whom since a long time :-) It's gonna take a while though.. a few months maybe ! But I'll surely do it!

It's been an interesting 3 years. The first year, I hated this place.. didn't want to go there at all. Missed my college, my friends..but then gradually got used to this place, made friends.. met different people, got involved with activities..Been an up and down journey.. but isnt that what life's about..There have been fun times, boring times, good times, bad times, memorable times..I'll miss this place I think! There were certain things which I'd never seen or done before that I did here. Like watching people give proxy attendance! Honestly, I'd never seen it before.. and I cudnt make myself do it even after 3 years of spending time here..lol.. and then I saw people giving their attendance and sneaking out of the class.. and at times even walking out! People who would pick up their cellphone in class and get down under the table and talk..lol..

I did certain things which I'd never done before.. public speaking hasn't been my forte.I've never gone in a debate competition or anything similar to that. The max I've ventured into is compering and poetry recitation.. and tht too in school.. and here in my first year I took part in the fresher's moot court competition. Now a moot court is something like a mock court where u v to present your case and the judges grill you with questions. Real judges would probably be nicer than the judges you haev here..lol.. anywyas my first attempt didn't turn out to be so great, cause I made a silly mistake, fumbled at the start and then lort out.. Then in second year, I wasn't going to take part.. but while discussing the problem with a friend of mine, decided to give it a shot. Prepared everything in just one day and somehow got selected into the moot court society.. Thereafter it was an interesting journey.. with more competitions, different experiances.. learning new things.. and then finally winning a competition :-)

At the end of three years, I wish I'd done even more.. but hey it's been an interesting experiance and I'm just looking forward to what lies ahead!

Memories

I was cleaning my cupboard ( yeah miracles do happen ;) ) yesterday when I discovered this :


So why is this special? Because this is probably the only time in my life that I've written a poem and gotten an A .lol.. I'm really bad at writing poems.. This one was written in 7th standard and I have it preserved till date, I'm quite an archiver ;)

Another thing I discovered was a song, total nonsensical crappy song I wrote once (the only time actually :) ) I still remember the tune..
Well here's how it goes.. yeah get ready to throw the eggs and tomatoes.. :P

Oh and before I present it, I would like to state that it is not written for anyone or any situation. This was just the influence of the kind of English songs I used to hear at that time (9th standard i think..) and mushy crap that I must've seen then.

I gave my heart
to you forever,
'cause I felt that
you'd let me down never.
But you, you!
Broke my heart and left me forever

When you left me,
I was in despair,
'cause then I realized
that you, you and only you
were my life.
And everyday I love you
like mad (!! )
My life, my soul
are all yous
Come back to me
I'm all yours.
When you left me,
I realized
the part you played,
in my life.
But you, you
didn' realize that you were
important to me
I'm nothing without you,
Come back !Back to me!


Lol..there's still a bit left but I can't go on.. it's just sooooooooooooooo silly! Well I just thought it was time for some entertainment.. so put it here ;) I don't know how could write that.. crazy memories of childhood.. :) Thank god it was the one and only song I wrote.. and noone ever got to hear it..lol. I think I must've realized myself how bad I was at this ;)

I've been out of touch with everyone for the past few days.. dunno wat I've been doing. Well exam time coming up soon so I hope to be back to full time blogging ;)
