Dialogues

The writer of this obscure blog fancies crazy things like Salsa , Enduro , touring new places on foot, night outs , Adventure. Some call it Adrenaline rush.
So ,this writer gathered up all the courage and she finally joined Salsa club with the ulterior motive of losing those extra calories.Extra calories are like your true friends ,they never seem to leave you!!To be also noted that the writer is a novice when it comes to complexities of life like dancing et al and therefore comrades are solemnly requested to not panic or to be shocked on the first sight.

First day.Excited. Learnt a few steps and probably caused a few tremors. After the first class.
A Dialogue between writer and her friend.

Shahana: Hey! So, How was your salsa class ?
Me: Oh, It was fun but..
Shahana: So,were there any hot firangs ?
Me:Tragedy of life!I did not get to dance with any firangs, there were so many desis!
Shahana: "Thats Georgia Tech for you ,my dear :P"
Me:Indian Ghetto,frown.

Inspite of such a big upheaval in life, the writer is still looking forward to the next class.

Another dialogue in a Grad student's life. The writer was in the computer cluster of her university trying to finish her assignment in the last moment.There was a novel with a green cover by Amitav Ghosh next to her on the desk.

Aparna: Hey, What is this green thing ?
Me: Hey, How are you,Whats up these days?
(We share Masters woes)
Aparna:Oh, life is bad but better than the last sem.I am drowned in research up to my neck.
Me:ummmm..hmmmm..(long thought-guilty)...Excellent! I was just reading this book by blah blah..
Aparna: WHAT!!!! Do you get time to do such things?!
Me: ummmmm...(I wanted to say,I hardly do any research work) but then out of embarrassment...oh I carry it with myself and read it whenever I get time..I know grad students have no time(lying to the core!)


To my shame, I have incorporated new ways of katoing lukkha in other forms like Guitar classes and crossword fever these days.
Upheavals,Upheavals,they are everywhere,Why escape them.

The Last time.

One does not realize the last time one gets to do something because in the action of moment one doesn't foresee the last time and hangs on to the hope of things lasting forever.Until one day, the hammer is thrown on your head and the end is declared.Then you recall your endeared last time and try to sink and come to terms with the last time.Pinch.Reality.Wake up.

blahblah

It is all about drawing lines and boundaries at the right time.Boundaries and lines to be not crossed. It is about taking decisions and standing by them. Decisions are hard to abide by but sooner they taken the better it is. At every path one has to take decisions , if something does not work out just kill it and go ahead.
I can't stop but repeating a few lines of this song.This song has become my mantra and has many golden lines. The limelight of the day are the following lines.

"Don't be reckless with other peoples hearts
Stop putting up with people who are reckless with yours"

BAZ LUHRMANN lyrics

100 % guilt free

1) It is okay to send hate mails once in a while.
2)It is fair to jump to horoscopes every day.
3)It is okay to ready your gym bag but fail when it comes to using the bag!
4)It is okay to overspend once in a month specially after traumatic qualifiers.
5)It is okay to lie to your advisor once in six months for the extra nap.
6) It is okay to watch Grey's Anatomy back to back on the weekend.
7) It is okay to pamper yourself on exotic smelling fragrances.
8)It is okay to spend money for visiting places like Puerto Rico.
9) It is okay to splurge on red luscious strawberries.
10) It is okay to bitch about a roomie who mentally harasses you and tries to dominate.

It is disheartening to learn that 3500 calories is equivalent to one pound!!

:-)

Anatomy

We try to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant, that,

Knowing is better than wondering,
Waking is better than sleeping.

We have to take our own decisions, we have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons.

And that even the biggest failure and the world 's worst mistake beats the hell out of never trying.
