MUSINGS...Imagination carries us to worlds that never were... February 29 Neutralizing InfidelityFeeling guilty about cheating on your partner?? Now you can offset your infidelity by paying another person a nominal amount for staying single or faithful to their partner. Sounds weird?? But then truth is stranger than fiction. A Web site cheatneutral.com offers its members a chance to neutralize cheating by funding monogamy. So if you find it difficult to be faithful to your partner, you just pay another person to remain single or faithful. Single or monogamous people can just sign up for free and get paid for offsetting other people’s infidelity by promising to remain single or loyal to their partners until they have neutralized their promoter’s cheating. (If anyone does sign up, do share the story.) I am still trying to figure out if this is meant to promote fidelity (as they claim) or to promote infidelity. I mean, if you could actually offset your wrongs by paying someone else a nominal amount to be good.. Wouldn’t you just go on being in the wrong (especially if its fun)? Well, morality issues aside, this definitely does put a classic twist on the phrase Crime pays. November 24 Flyaway PhoneI first met this guy outside a small bakery shop near my house.
As he waved to me, his phone apparently decided to wing it... and so it somersaulted a few times in the air, before neatly bouncing off the lid of the bin and landing behind it. If a guy comes up with such umm.. different ways to get your attention.. you just can't say no to him.. can you?? April 25 Encounters with a.. TwistI love you so much, you can't imagine... And i know you love me too, whether you accept that or not
Hey.. I have a boyfriend and i am very much in love with him. Whatever made you think that I am in love with you. I am perfectly sure I never did or said anything that would give you this idea.
You don't have to say or do anything. My love for you makes me so sensitive to your moods, and i know you better than you know yourself. I feel that you love me with all your heart
I do know that I am not the least bit in love with you. Think a little, if i REALLY loved you as you say, why would i be dating another, and what would be stopping me from ditching him and being with you??
Your LOYALTY and TENDER HEART. You can't bear to hurt him, thats why you don't leave him even though there's no love left between you two. These 2 qualities make me love you more each day. You love ME.. and i know it. You love ME.. and i know it. Stay with him... because i want you to come to me free of the past. If you leave him now, you'll always have it on your conscience. You need to realise that there is no love left between you two.
Hey.. We both love each other a lot.
NO, you DO NOT. Can't say about you so-called boyfriend, but you are not in love with him at all. You are in love with ME.
You need to realise that by staying with him, you are hurting all 3 of us. You have been in this relationship for very long, and you know you'll feel bad when it ends. And thats why you are not willing to accept that you are actually in love with me. He was your first love, and that kinda relationship never lasts. You entered it thinking it would be for life, and you are ashamed of yourself because you are realising that you don't want it to be for life anymore, and you are ashamed of your love for me.
Don't worry, i'll wait for as long as it takes you to accept it.. I don't want to force you before you are ready to accept my love.. But one thing i'll say.. Your loyalty and care for him makes me love you so much more.
(Should i laugh or cry.. better run like hell)
Note: Perhaps I should mention that its a real incident and not something i made up
April 09 Time is...Too slow for those who Wait...
Too swift for those who Fear...
Too long for those who Grieve... Too short for those who Rejoice... But for those who Love... Time is Eternity November 14 Of Traffic-lights And Policemen....I haven't been around for a long time and i do have a lotta things to tell.. but before i get into what i have been up to these past months and bore you all with the details.. i think i will narrate this small incident that happened recently to my friend.
On his way to office one morning, while at a red light.. a car decided to give the red light a miss and even when the traffic inspector tried to stop it.. it didnt stop. Apparently the driver was in too much of a hurry and didn't notice the traffic policeman. Anyways.. this traffic inspector jumped on my friend's bike and asked him to give chase which he did.. and so ended up crossing a few red-lights himself.. They did manage to catch up with the car and its driver had to pay a heavy fine too.. after which the inspector turns to my friend and says "Beta, bike bahut tez chalate ho.. dheere chalaya karo aur dhyan se chalaya karo" (English translation: "Son, you drive your bike very fast, you should drive slowly and carefully.")
I am guessing my friend was lucky that he didn't himself get fined for jumping those red-lights while chasing the car... though apparently just that would have happened had he not refused to give chase by crossing that first red-light...
October 30 Am Back......Its been a long time since my last entry.. infact its over 4 months since i have written anything here... and i have to say i have missed blogging and all my friends here..
Its not that i have been short of things to write.. infact right now with so much happening i actually have too much stuff to write about... the only thing i have been short of is time to put it all down here.. especially since i do not like writing in snatches, grabbing 5 mins here and there... it just breaks my thought process...
Well FYI.. i took up a job with Sapient in July and have been busy throughout.. and that is the only excuse i have for not writing.. (i did have weekends off but they went into my MBA entrance preparations, mock tests and classes)... But with a whole month's vacation in front of me now (Starting dis saturady... yipeee), i can finally get back to blogging full-time.
Till then... Cya all...
Sorry Guys... CAT is on 19th Nov., Sunday.... bear with me (or should i say my absence??) till then..
Gotta BELL THE CAT....
June 25 JUNE..I have always loved the word June.. and ofcourse the month too..
Perhaps its because i myself am a June Baby.. or maybe because its always meant summer vacations...
But this month has been a month full of surprises... and i am not sure i like surprises anymore either..
The biggest shock was the realisation that this is my last carefree summer vacation ever.. that my school and college life is finally over and i must now start taking responsibility for myself..
Isn't it strange that when we are in school, we just wanna get out of it and grow up and when we actually reach there, we just wanna be back in school.. The same goes for college too.. though since i really detested my college.. i'd still pick my school over it and make sure that i end up in a different college.. even if that means i end up in another country (infact due to the quota proposal, i wish i had made that choice then.. )
Another surprise(i should say SHOCK..) for me was the fact that this June, I turn 22....
Ok.. so everyone is wondering whats wrong with that.. umm nothing except that i didn't realise i'd turned this old..(and yeah this reminds me of FRIENDS too..)
Ok agreed.. 22 is not exactly old.. but to me it sounds as if i should be more mature, responsible than i am now or even want to be.. it sounds like i should stop doing silly things(eg. sleeping with my favorite teddy) and i really don't want to do that.. so i think i'll conveniently forget my age from now on.. except my dad has a bad tendency to keep reminding me of it.. (@3*#&^%*)
2 wasp bites and falling sick on my birthday didn't help either.. its really not fun to have khichdi(yuk..) while everyone else has chocolate cake on your birthday...
Not to mention that this totally cut out my meeting Jassi on his already cut short vacation...
and yes darling.. i am still angry with you over it and also over not getting my birthday gift..
And last but not the least.. this is for all my stupid friends.. how dare you all not even send me even a single stupid birthday card.. and still ask for a treat.. just wait till you get that treat.. You'll really remember it all your lives...
Quote of the month:
DON'T TREAT ME ANY DIFFERENTLY THAN YOU WOULD THE QUEEN
May 21 Mail it??? How???I have been itching to write again for some time.. but the post i wanted to do is actually a very long one.. and will take a lot of time.. so i think i'll start with a small one for now..
I have just visited Kelsey's space.. and it reminded me of something that happened just yesterday.. so i think i'll share it with you all.. It just proves her point of how we rely more on email nowadays than our postal system..
Well last month was all about exams and it was made more hectic because of two weddings in the family.. anyways those are for another post... Well its tradition to invite over newly wedded couples for either lunch or dinner.. so we invited over both my brothers(Girish and Lalit) and their wives(Poonam and Sudeepti) yesterday for dinner...
Well i have always been very close to lalit.. he isn't just my favorite brother but also my confidant.. and due to my exams i had missed his engagement ceremony.. so i wanted to see the video.. but though he remembered to get the wedding album he didn't remember to get the cds..
Me: Transfer them all to me on messenger whem i am online..
Lalit: If one of us gets disconnected we'll have to start transfer all over again... i'll mail them to you instead..
Me: How can you mail me 700 MB attachments.. do you have a paid email account???
Lalit: Idiot.. how do you mail.. i'll put it in an envelope, affix a Rs.5 stamp and post it..
Me: uh ho.. i forgot totally about the postal system..
April 21 Sorry..Well... so i finally have my answer... your job is most important to you..
I am sorry Sweetheart... I didn't mean to nag you or make you feel guilty... And don't ever think that you fell short of my expectations in any way.. because you never did.. But i seem to have fallen short of yours..
All i can say now is that i am very sorry... and i won't hold you to your promise of being back in delhi by my birthday.. You love your job.. and i am going to be the last person to keep you from doing something that you love... Come back to Delhi when you want... i'll wait.
You know you asked me today what do you think you should do to make me feel that you love me as much as ever.. i couldn't answer it then.. i'll do it now.. NOTHING.. i know you love me and i don't need you to prove it to me in anyway...
I only wish that you didn't seem to be so much like a stranger as you do nowadays... but then i guess the problem here is with me and not you..
But please don't call me until you want to... i don't want you to feel guilty about calling me... i'd much rather talk to you once a month than everyday if you called me only because you wanted to talk to me rather than because you thought you should.
And yes i know you don't like my writing it here... but i didn't have any choice.. i knew i wouldn't be able to say it and i couldn't mail you either... and yes i did consider writing it on your blog instead.. but somehow i don't feel like i have the right to access your accounts anymore...
You have the password to this space... delete this entry if you like... or delete the whole space.. i don't much care... I don't have the heart to continue blogging anymore.
April 14 BEN..I am posting my topic a day later than i said i would... but then it wasn't my fault really. However much i tried, i just couldn't access my space... neither of any other blogwalkers except Nikita.
So, this week's blogwalk is being hosted by Jessie... and here's the topic..
Why do you like Ben's Blog? And tell us why he shouldn't leave us!!!
Well i stumbled upon Ben's space soon after i had started my own space.. I don't remember how i did... but what got me hooked was the name and the tagline.. BEN'S COFFEE HOUSE..
Oh... how could a coffee lover resist.. and then his description of himself as Plazticman... well that was like the icing on the cake(or should i say a sugar doughnut with a cup of mocha..)
Well i was just hooked and i read his page all through the end without even realising it or getting bored in the slightest.. so i just added his page in my favorites. Luckily this was around the time he had proposed the Blogwalk and i thought it was a good idea.. I had just started in blogland and inspite of my best intentions, I am not avery consistent person.. as easily as i get hooked onto something new, i also lose interest in it equally soon.. Also i wasn't sure where i will keep thinking of enough stuff to ever write anything about.. seriously at that time it seemed like it would be a big thing to ever even finish writing 5 posts.. So for me it seemed like a way to continue blogging...
The blogwalk has introduced me to a lot of new spaces.. and given me some great friends.. friends that i probably won't have come across otherwise.. Also its broadened my horizons and i mean literally because i have learnt things i wouldn't have otherwise.. as an example consider St. Patrick's Day.. i had heard the name.. i studied in a convent school after all but i never knew what it was.. its not a celebrated here..
As to why he shouldn't leave us...
Well.. I don't know anything about what he's going through.. i can't imagine it, i can't even relate to it either because i have never known anyone who got divorced... it just doesn't happen here (and before anyone contradicts me.. yes i know divorce statistics are on the rise.. but how many of us actually have known it personally).. It was also in part the reason i didn't offer you my email... because i didn't think i could help you in anyway especially when i can't even sympathise with you...
I just know that when i feel horrible about something.. only one thing helps... and that is writing it down..
It might not lessen your pain Ben.. but i think it'll make it a lil easier.. and so i think you should continue blogging... We all want to know that you are doing ok..
I am counting on you... both for the blogwalk and my monday morning cup of coffee.. In the short time i have known you.. you and your coffee stories have become a part of my life.. i need them to cheer me up on monday mornings and get my week to flying start.. i have actually begun to like mondays only because of you...
So.. Please Ben.. DON'T LEAVE US..
