Potty Thoughts

Have you ever sat in the jon, and thought about stuff? Bet you have :P
Well, these thoughts always seem to plague my mind, even if I'm not on the pot :D

Potty Thought #1 : How do archaeologists find stuff buried deep underground?

Well, doesn't it bother you that people are always excavating and finding buried treasure? I mean, where does the earth come from to bury stuff underground?
Is the earth's diameter constantly increasing? Seems to me as though it is. See, if something gets buried, then technically the level of the ground over there would have risen over time? So that means mud/earth has been deposited over there? Which implies that there should be a cavity somewhere (WHICH DOESN'T EXIST!!!)
So, my funda is that the earth's diameter is increasing. Else, the mountains should have started shrinking in height (if its all the silt that is getting deposited - which aint happening either) .....

Potty Thought #2 : Gay couples symbolise true love

Have you ever thought about it - why do people fall in love with members of the opposite sex? Yeah, you might say it's for the attention, the love, the comfort, the faith etc etc etc. But then, don't you get that from friends? Family? The only reason I can see as to why people get into relationships with members of the opposite sex is for the "action". I mean... Come on, think about it. Your significant other has "parts" you dont have, which makes it all the more interesting and "nice". But on a more serious note, gay couples are in it out of pure love. Lust is not the driving factor, unlike straight couples (as their partners have what they have). Now, why are do straight people get into a relationship? It's more out of lust. I mean, they get the love and attention and faith, trust blah blah from their folks/friends too. But the partner adds the 'zing' to the whole thing.

Think about it :)

You And I...

You sat away, lost in thought
I waited patiently, but troubled, for you.
Somehow seeing you worried made my heart reach out,
'Coz I didn't know if there was anything I could do.

I knew cascading thoughts besieged your mind,
I ached to look inside your head.
Help you sort out what it was that was eating you,
But I stayed away, as you had asked, instead.

And then you took my hand in yours,
My heart clenched several times.
For in your eyes there was warmth and understanding,
Made me want to write prose and rhymes.

We've had some good times together,
Laughing and talking, seems like time stood still.
Felt like we've known each other forever,
Every void, complementing me, you've seemed to fill.

The other day you looked all serious,
You held my hand in yours.
I smiled, as I usually do, when you did so,
Always reminded me of a walk along the sea shores.

A ring you slipped onto my finger,
Time stood still,a moment of pure rapture.
Ecstasy had no limits for me then,
For my heart, body and soul you had captured.

Blank

Blank... Blank blank blank blank blank! That's exactly what's on my head right now!!

Arbit thoughts are hovering around here n there, and none seem to materialise! Sometimes you just feel like doing absolutely nothing! And yet that's the time you wish you were occupied, had tonnes and tonnes of things to do.. So much that you didn't have time to message/mail or even answer your phone!
And the exact opposite happens when you do have something to do! That's when all you feel like doing is wasting time and doing absolutely nothing :D

It's fun trying to cheer someone up... And you feel all the more special if it works.. And it's probably the best and nicest feeling in the world when you are cheered up by someone :)

I got a cute little hamster for my birthday... One tiny, cute, furry lil' thing :D I've named him Fuzzy as he looks like one fuzz ball :D I can't believe someone would actually gift me a pet on my birthday.. It's probably the best, and the most different gift ever :)

Blah! :)

Emotions..

Hmmm.. Sometimes I wonder... What is affection.. Is it a feeling/emotion reserved for relatives? family? friends? loved ones? Is it similar to love?
When do you say you are attached to someone? When you worry about them? About their safety? When you wait for their message/call saying that they have reached home safely?
Or is it when you end up loving their family members? Asking about their well being? Whether they are fine?
Or is it a combination of all these emotions, feeling, and reasons for concern?

Sometimes I also wonder what does it mean to love someone... Does it mean thinking about them (in a not so obsessive way)?

What does it mean to think about your friends, who aren't with you? Friends who are half way across the world? Friends who live where you used to live? Friends you grew up with?

How about folks? You live away from your parents.. Think about them every now and then... Siblings.. Cousins, who are like the best friends you could ever have.. :) Cousins with whom you can talk about anything under the sun :) Cousins who you know will not judge you no matter what.. Cousins who are like the best friends you could have ever asked for..

How about the person you love? The person you hope to end up spending the rest of your life with? The person for whom you are ready to do almost anything, in order to keep them happy and to see them smile? The person who's happiness takes precedence over your's :) The person whom when you're with, you don't realise how time flies! The person with whom you have tonnes of fun, get along with their friends, and who's friends actually like you!! :)

Emotions come in varying degrees. I've chosen to think only about the nice ones :)
(might go to the darker side when my mood isn't this rosy :P)

A priceless conversation....

//s is me...... Anonymity helps in cases like this :P


"S, do you know you are getting old?? It's time for you to get married"

"Amma, I'm 22. What is wrong with you????" (shocked expression, which is a waste of energy as the conversation is taking place over the phone... Too bad my mum cant see my shocked-pained expression)

"No, S, you are old. You will become 23 in 3 months"

"Amma, I know how old I am.."

"S, what about that nice boy X? They are such good family friends of our's. Their family is also so nice. We don't even need to ask them. We can just suggest it"

"Oh God, Amma. If you like their family so much get Ram married to X's sister. That way you get the family" (Ram's my younger kid brother - hello! what else did you expect me to say??? X is like a brother kinda friend to me.. eeeewwww *shudder*... incest feelings thinking about him that way... Gawd!)

"Shut up, S. He's a kid" (I bet she is rolling her eyes, but the wheels in her head are turning regarding this idea I have thrown out in the open)

"Amma, look.. I'll find my own boy, ok?"

"By when?"

"By the time I'm 24. M's mom has given her time till this December and I think you're way cooler and should give me time till I'm 24. " (major buttering session started...)

"Ok S. But you're getting old..."

"Amma, 24..."

"That gives you one year and a couple of months"

"Yes. So please do not search for 'boys' until then"

"S, only Hindus, ok?"

"Ok, Amma" (rolling my eyes, and I know she knows I'm doing this as I do not buy this 'religion difference' crap)

"Only Tamil payyan, ok?"

"Amma, what is wrong with you?? Why are you narrowing my choices?"

"No S. Tamil payyan thaan"

"No Amma. Give me a wider spectrum"

"Ok. South Indian only"

"Thank you for giving me 4 states out of 29"

"He HAS to be decent looking"

"Amma, that is by default!!!" :D

"No S. Love is blind. God only knows what kind of a boy you will find. What if he is a porraku pallu payyan?" (buck toothed boy - one who needs braces REAL badly) (can you beat my mum's logic?? priceless I tell you!!)

"Amma, come on... good looks is be default for me, ok? You can judge after I find such a boy"

"Hmmmm, ok..."

"Ok. so no more talking about this until I'm 24. If I find a Hindu, south Indian, decent looking boy by then, I will tell you. If not, once I turn 24, you can start looking. Until then, please please please do not bring this topic up again"

"Hmmm... Sheri"


Well, I was pretty darn pleased with myself after this (about a month ago). At least I got her off my back regarding this marriage thingy.
I do not understand arranged marriages. Frankly they scare the shit out of me. How can you marry a total stranger? How can you spend you entire life with someone completely unknown to you?

Anyway, I thought that was the end of it (at least for a couple of months.) But then what do I hear?? My mum was very very interested in some jaadagam that my aunt had and was asking for all possible details....

Sheesh!! Moms I tell you....

Break Ups...

Let's call Girl as G and Boy as B. They were in a satisfied, happy relationship together. Seemed as though they had everything they wanted or would want.
But then one day, something happened. 2 possible scenarios exist:

Mutual break-up : This is probably the best scenario in case of a split. I mean, both are hurting and both will be able to help the other person move along. Not easy, I agree, but slightly better than being separate and having to deal with it on your own.

G/B dumps B/G : OK. Reasons for this are secondary (not immaterial, but then my post isn't about the reasons. It's about the repercussions). One of the two is terribly crushed. If the reason had been because one cheated on the other, then the one doing the dumping (Dumper) will take some time to heal ( come on. They were in a relationship together.. Some emotions and feelings will still be there, albeit for a choot ); but they will heal eventually as they will realise that they were dating a complete loser.
The Dumped (if also a cheater) will feel like shit and should..

However, if the Dumped is dumped because of other reasons, then the process will take more time. I'm not talking about moving on and getting into another relationship; but am talking about completely getting over the Dumper : getting rid of the anger, the bitterness, the resentment, the questions that keep popping up, the twinge of sadness (all of this even if they do get into another relationship)...
The Dumper, on the other hand had reasons. So he/she won't take that long to get over the 'ex'. However, it will pinch for a while that things didn't work out. But that won't last for too long.

Now, I'm not saying that the Dumper is an insensitive, cold hearted person. All I'm saying is because they had a reason, they'll find it easier to move on.

Do girls find it easier to move on? Or vice versa? Frankly, I do not know. Some people I've spoken to say it doesn't matter, as long as you want to move on, you will. But some are of the opinion that girls find it easier to move on, they find it easier to start checking out other guys, and probably go out on dates with them. I somehow do not agree with this. A girl is just as human as the guy. Even she takes time to heal. Probably, because girls find it easier to talk to friends about issues (and I mean, anything and everything under the sun) they move on sooner than the guy, who keeps most of it inside him (as they consider it 'gay' to discuss your feelings and emotions with another guy).

Break ups are shitty. But you have to move on. It does not make sense to think that you should take "this much of time" before getting into another relationship (or think of getting into one) as people will talk shit about you. For all you know, they might already do. So why do you give a shit? As long as you're happy (or become happy), you really shouldn't care about what others think.

Boredee Bore Bored!!!

Oh God... Oh God oh God oh God..... I'm terribly bored... Terribly. Completely. Utterly. Totally. Entirely. Fully. Wholly. Gawd, I'm bored... And I have absolutely no idea what to do. Not even the Devil is telling me something to do in the least.

What do you do when you are bored? Do you swat flies and then dry them in the sun and draw stuff around them to make some awesome pictures? Or, do you arbitly open up some chat window and talk to Strangers? Or, better still do you go to the washroom and pretend to talk to yourself while a person is in the next cubicle?

Yes, there seem to be loads of ideas running in my head, but I'm still bored.

Shopping? (if I had the money, I would go)
Partying? (if I was invited, I would go)
Hanging out with friends? (if they weren't busy, I'd do this)
Chatting with people? (if someone was online I'd do this)
Swatting the flies? (if they were there inside my air conditioned office, I'd do it for sure)

Heh heh heh.. I seem to complain a lot don't I?? well, that's because I'm BORED. Bee-Oh-Are-Ee-Dee : Bored.

The net transfer speed was slow while a horror film was being sent across. Guess even the comps got scared....
Why don't money plants give us money? Wish they did...
A man became pregnant!! Thank God for that... Takes away all the tension from us women folk :)

I'm still bored......

Is There Anything Special?

Whats the need of celebrating something on a particular day? Ok, birthdays and anniversaries are understandable, but Valentine's Day? Rose Day? Father's Day? Mother's Day?... Come on, gimme a break. We do not need a ONE day to express our feelings for those we love. Expressions and emotions should be expressed freely, whenever felt like. Somehow trying to ape Western culture by celebrating these 'days' seems a little fake, especially when, in our Indian culture, joint families have existed and still do. In the West, people hardly have time for family and thus came up with this "day" thingy. We do not need it.

Yes, I know its loads of fun and makes you want to giggle and hug yourself for joy as you are remembered, and showered with gifts (hopefully!)... But then, why don't you pause and think.. If you are thought of on that day by someone special, chances are, that that person thinks of you most of the time, every single day.. They can express it on any day they want... So can you :)

Everyday is special... Burn the candles, use the nice sheets... Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

Will I come Back To Earth?

Have you ever got the feeling that you're not going to come back to earth? Or the feeling that you just cannot stop doing what you are doing, because if you do terrible things might happen? Or the feeling that you just might go into orbit? The desperate urge to swing, and swing away to glory.. Push yourself as hard as you can and try to get the swing to make a complete revlution :)

Being a kid sometimes is possibly the best thing that anyone can do. Being an adult is fine, but behaving like one all the time can get to be a bit of a pain. Running around as fast as you can, swinging away to glory, laughing away to glory while on a see-saw, playing on a merry-go-round (while you are probably 24 odd years old) are probably some of the most exhilirating things that one can do.

Go, enjoy.. Be a kid once in a while.. Trust me, it might seem like a stoopid thing to do at first, but once you get into the flow, there's no stopping you :)

What Is It...

What is it that makes sitting for hours at a stretch at a hookah joint fun?
What is it that makes you want to shift from the front seat of a car to the back seat, while it's moving?
What is it that makes you jump for glee when you have something that you look forward to doing, or someone that you look forward to meeting?
What is it that makes someone your best friend?
What is it that makes blowing smoke rings so cool?
What is it that makes you grin away to glory when someone tells you something pretty normal?
What is it that makes you fall for someone?
What is it that makes you want to run as fast as your body will allow you, whenever you can?
What is it that makes you want to hang out with your best friend/lover?
What is it that makes you want to vent out some pent up anger in the form of some sport?
What is it that makes you fall in love with someone and that person ends up becoming your best friend? Your confidante?


They all make you feel darn good; as thought there is nothing in this world that can spoil your happiness. You feel whole, the adrenalin surges through your blood, and you feel rejuvinated. They all make you realise that you should do what you feel like, and when you feel like it. They also make you realise that you should not have any expectations and take life as it comes. Enjoy the moment, before it slips away.

They all make you smile and feel complete....

Such a Pain...

X has many many friends.. Most of them are of the opposite sex. X preferred it this way, as according to X, they made better friends as they very rarely had hung ups, and were very upfront and cleared issues as and when they happened. X loved those friends, they were sensible. But it's not like X did not like the other gender friends. It's just that sometimes they got too irrirating and behaved like a bunch of girls..

One day X was sitting under a tree and something happened, by virtue of which a couple of X's friends had a quarrel. Now X knows that the blame is slightly on his/her shoulders too. But the fight between the 2 kinda blew out of proportions, with one of them threatening to sever ties with X and the other person.

WTF!!!! *eye roll*

Now, on to something completely different but slightly related...

Girls are complicated creatures. I mean, ok look... SUppose a girl is talking to a guy, and she suddenly stops. What would the guy think? Why did she stop talking? Hmmm, being a girl myself, I shall try to analyse the female psyche.. I think there are several possible explanations...

(i) She thinks the guy is interested in her and wants to maintain a distance ans she doesn't like him 'that' way..

(ii) She has pms

(iii)She fought with her boyfriend and is venting it out on this guy

(iv) She has a crush on him whilst dating someone else and is feeling guilty.

I myself have absolutely no frikkin' clue as to what's wrong with the chick.




p.s.: Oh!! she could have just been busy............ *deep in thought*

Theories...

Relationship No. 1

Do you think first relationships work out? First in the sense, the first person you date. Do you end up with that person? My thoery is that, the first relationship usually doesn't work out. Work out in the sense, end up in marriage. Yes, I agree its a wonderful feeling to get married to your first love, but most of the time it just doesn't happen. The ones that happen afterwards, usually work out. Why, you may ask. Why do I have such an opinion.
See, when you get into your first relationship, you're young. And somehow as you mature, you learn from your mistakes. Awesome for you if it works out. All I am saying is that the subsequent relationships have higher chances of becoming something solid as you'd have learnt from your previous mistakes. You know what to expect and what not to. you know your flaws, and you know where you have to and should not compromise.

Women are L**bians

According to me, all women are 25% l**bian by default. I mean, it's true. We check out other chicks, comment about their clothes; oggle at them if they're pretty; wish we had a body like their's. We basiclly objectify them. And staring at a woman, checking her out, sizing her up, are all l**bian tendencies, if you ask me. (Nothing wrong with that, though).. :)
So, this is an awesome bit of truth I have let out of the bag for you guys out there. Girl on girl action can start exploding as vivid imagery in your heads!! (pun intended) :P

She Found What She Wanted...

Into a puddle,
She so easily jumped..
It didn't take much thought, it seemed..
She put on her jacket,
And saw the puddle..
Next, what do you know? She was right in between..

Colours were new,
Reflections were many..
All the time she kept looking around...
Slowly she noticed,
People were watching..
She tried to hide away in some bushes she found...

But then she came out,
And felt rejuvenated..
For it had been so long since she felt complete..
Comfort and loved,
She knew without a doubt
That what she now had was concrete..

She hugged herself with joy,
She ran around in full speed..
Feeling the wind on her face, oh so cold..
Blood pounding through her veins,
The warmth of the sun on her skin..
She relished as her happiness began to unfold..

She found something new,
She realised with great joy,
That she now had what had been missing..
She vowed to guard her treasure,
Hold it safe and near her..
And never, ever be caught reminiscing...

Friends.....

You know, sometimes when you're feeling extremely low and down in the dumps, you usually talk to some real good friends of your's right? And you know what will happen... They'll either make fun of you, or they'll say something.... No matter which, you'll end up laughing and feeling pretty darn good by the end of the day... Sometimes what they say may be the only reason for you to smile...

Damn, they will know when to make fun of you.. I mean, they'll do it even if you're pissed about something; and some how all of you will end up in fits of helpless laughter and won't be able to stop.. And after that, you;d have forgotten why you were angry in the first place!!

They know when to start bitching, and about whom to bitch and exactly what to say.. Sometimes their theories are so so so weird, that you will be amazed that they could actually think of something like that (wait... are they your friends??!!!)... Arbit fundaes come flying out of no where.. And then towards the end of your conversation, you'll all end up talking about the future and where you see yourselves and making promises about being there for each other's weddings and never letting go.. Sometimes you even marry your unborn kids off to each other's!!!!

You know you can tell them whatever you want, whenever you want... And you know that they will not judge you, no matter what you end up doing.. They will support you, guide you in the right way, chide you, correct you, and above all, love you no matter what :)

Extreme Musings...

Viva La Vida and Death and All His Friends is.... I don't have words to describe what I think of the album. Somehow the first time I heard the album, it was like "ok.. ok".. But then somehow I continued listening to it.. again and again.. Over and over again, and I'm like "Woah! This is some kick ass music man..." It grows on you, you can'e help but listen to it again and again, you can't help but try to find out similar songs, connects between the tracks.. The title track is simply amazing, the violins and bells and Martin's voice... *sigh* :) Even Violet Hill and Life in Technicolour are ammmmmaazing..... :D

I'm devouring Chase nowadays... You simply have to read his books to know why you can get hooked and gripped and totally lost in the story. You never know what's going to hit you next!

Sometimes when I get time to waste my thoughts on completely unproductive musings, I somehow always come back to Avatar and Matrix. There's a similar concept in both. In Avatar, humans are trying to take over that alien land because they want something from there. In Matrix, Agent Smith tells Morpheus that the human species is like a virus; they spread and try to take over anything and everything they come across.
Man should learn to control his greed. There is always enough for everyone.. Always..

How does one know if they are in love? How do you know if you feel the same like you used to, before? How can you stop feeling some way about a person? How do you know it's time to move on? How do you know you no longer feel connected? How can you stop feeling connected? Why do you stop feeling that way?How can you hurt someon you care for, but do not love? Aren't the two the same?

Music always makes me feel better. When I'm angry, depressed, feel rejected, have no freakkin' clue what I'm doing with my life, when I feel like I'm wasting everything I have; I usually go and listen to music at the maximum volume my eardrums can tolerate, sing at the top of my voice, and usually dance like no one's watching.. You should try this.. Perfect stress buster :)
