Love Aaj Kal

I watched Love Aaj Kal =)
I haven't watched a movie on the first Friday since forever!

Did I like it? (I thought the emoticon in the first line would be a giveaway..)
Well, YES. In facccct, I loved it! I didn't expect a Jab We Met (which I've watched about 45 times, just BTW .. no, I kid you not). But in the end Love Aaj Kal reminds you of Jab We Met anyway! And that's got nothing to do with anything expect the fact that Imtiaz has a style of narrating his story to the audience. It's so contemporary, something that you and I can relate to. It reminded me of JWM not in context of story/acting/etc. but because I just got this feeling. What a cheesy thing to say, no? :P

The story worked for me. I like the fact that Imtiaz put thought into the story rather than other balderdash like item songs, ostentatious locations, sets, etcetra that commercial movies tend to concentrate on. And considering that I can't really stand Saif Ali Khan and I am not a huge Deepika Padukone fan, to think I liked it means it must be a good movie indeed :P

So erm, go watch it! I know I will watch it again :D

Graduation Day 2009!

I am getting super late for college but I just can't give a fuck right now!
WHY? :o I don't want to leave without writing about yesterday.

Graduation Ceremony 2009!
One Word. Whoa!

I went on stage! I danced! Can you effing believe that!!!
I haven't been on stage since I was like .. what.. 10?
And I was SOO! nervous right before the curtains were raised.
But just as sooon as the music started, it ALL went in fast forward.
We did everything perfect! ♥
All those endless hours of practice paid off!
I can't even begin to describe how amazing the whole feeling was =)
In the last number, we jumped off the stage and danced in the audience., we got our ex-TYs on stage and whatnot!
=D

And NO! that's not even all of it!
The Graduation Party @Radioclub. OMFG.
That whole four hour span is such a BLUR!
When I think of it, I feel like it all went rushing past me in the blink of an eye.
I danced with my girls, I danced with my classmates, I danced with people I don't like, I danced with people I have crushed on, I danced with people I have only seen before, I danced with people whose names I couldn't remember, I danced with people thinking they are someone else, I danced with people I didn't know at ALL.

This one time, I was dancing with a girl and she told me, "I'll pay you 10 grand if you tell me what my name is!" And I was like .. "Erm... :P .. Haha.. *giggle giggle* I don't know!" Yes, I did giggle. True story. -nodnod- (btw, I still don't know her name. Must find out!)

I did plenty of other shit.
K & R were telling me what all I said. And dude, it was hilarious really! :P
K kept saying, "I loooooveee drunk people!" and she was so amused by whatever words that managed to escape my mouth.

OH! (random fact) And A from class thinks that I look like a child on Christmas morning when drugs are discussed. Hahahaha! WTF is that even supposed to mean? LoL. People are so random, I tell you :P

And today, even though my legs are SORE!
And my back hurts!
And my neck is sprained!
And I still have remains of last night's makeup on my face.
And I am BLOODY late for college.
I woke up beaming like an idiot :P :D

I needed this.
I loved this!!!

Anywaaaaay, my thoughts are ALL over the place (in case this post didn't make it apparent!) ..
I must get dressed.
Toodloo ♥

P.S. Are those too many exclamations in one post? Hmm.

Crunky-ness

A lot has been happening.
I wish I could blog about everything at once but I have a feeling I am going to have an early hangover.
Things at college are getting hectic.
Projects are piling up.
I am not sure if that's a good thing :/
College has been dull lately.
But today was great.
I want to do so much more.
I want to go to a party.
& I want to dance all night.
& not care about who I dance with.
I want to meet new people.
I want to talk to friends of friends of friends at a party.
Hmph.
Enough wishful thinking for now.
I should sleep.
My head is killlling me :P

An epiphany, possibly.

Dear XYZ..

It seems like you're just a fan of unhealthy obsession.
Your sporadic change of "feelings" gives that away.
Bored much?
Get a life maybe.
Kthxbi.

I like it when it rains *breaks into a dance*

I've been thinking.. our two weeks of suspension was revoked alright. But I haven't attended lectures in two weeks anyway! Am I on some self-imposed suspension?! :o fikar not! I plan to start attending college today onwards. Regularly too.

It's a beautiful morning :) I have college @13.00 hrs and I woke up early, took a nice hot shower, ate some yummy breakfast & now I sit here with my cup of super strong coffee. I think waking up early put me in a good mood :) This is so much better than having an hour before I leave & rushing things. I hate that!

Culture Studies and Creative Writing today. Someone please remind me to buy a notebook D: I need to start getting my notes in order. As for projects, yes .. I need to find out what my projects are first!

I love solitary train rides. I have misplaced my book though :( Actually, my brother has :@ I can't read, even when I happen to have the time. Ugh. I'll pick up a smaller book for the time being.

I feel really optimistic today ^_^ I haven't felt like this in ages. You know those days when you think you can take over the world? :D I hope to feel like this on most days - where I worry only about the next minute instead of the next month :) :)

BTW .. I have had amazing luck with movies this month. I watched Dead Poets Society yesterday. Brilliant, needless to say. I love Robbin Williams. The characters he plays are so endearing! (remember Goodwill Hunting?) DPS reminded me of Mona Lisa Smile, a lot. That was only in the start though, it arouses so much more emotion. I know I am an idiot & I bawl in most movies :P But this was different. I wish I had a teacher like Mr. Keating, to inspire me every day with his words. But this movie should be enough. Carpe diem!

Other movies that I have watched & loved this past week include several Woody Allens (duh!) and Mysterious Skin. Mysterious Skin was astounding. I can rave about it endlessly, but you should probably just watch it & find out for yourself. It reminded me of this movie, a lot.

Realist tragedies, they always stir me up.

Oh & the Woody Allens of course (I love that little genius of a man) - I finally watched Annie Hall.I didn't like it as much as I expected to, it was a lovely watch nonetheless. I love the opening and closing quotes by Woody in the movie (especially this one..)

I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs.

The one that surprised me the most was Manhattan Murder Mystery. That movie is so much fun to watch =D Manhattan is nice too. Meryl Streep was such a looker in her heyday!

This has been a pretty long post, eh? I expected to write only a few lines :P But once you get me started on movies.. aha! I must get dressed, put on some blaringly loud music and head to KaaayCeee.
Word out!

The Candy Theory

Given:

• A boy and a girl like having candy together without worrying about who'll pay for the candy, who'll search for the candy and when they'll consume the candy.
• Basically, they like eating candy with no strings attached.
  

Situation:

• Girl likes candy, a lot. She can have it all day.
  
• Boy likes candy, but in small doses.

Observation:

• They eat candy whenever the boy wants it because the girl is up for it all the time.
• The boy takes their candy for granted because he gets it at his whim.
• The girl values their candy a lot more, because she gets it 2 out of 5 times.

Conclusion #1:

• The girl should always pretend like she doesn't want candy and is not interested in candy so that when she does show interest in eating candy, the boy will think that making the girl want candy is an achievement of some sort. Thereby, the girl will get candy as and when she pleases.
• Corollary: By controlling the candy intake the girl can also control other aspects of the boy's life, such as: going for chick flicks in exchange for candy, shopping in exchange for candy, having long meaningful conversations in exchange for candy, etcetera.

Conclusion #2:

• If the girl wants candy 5 times and the girl gets to eat candy only 2 out 5 times with one boy. Then girl should eat candy with more boys. Possibly two more boys. Thereby, she gets to eat candy 6 times and will not want too much candy any more. She can then control candy intake & the corollary of the previous conclusion comes into play again! Except, this time she gets to control three boys.
  
• However, in such serious intakes of candy with different boys, the girl should keep her teeth safe and use a good toothpaste.

Here's my update..

I had the most amazing afternoon nap.
It's a smart thing I did today - skipping college & switching my cell off.
I needed time to get a few things out of my system, rearrange my thoughts, have a plan of action ready.
It makes me so happy to finally understand myself.
I know how to deal with most of my mood swings now.
Last week has been completely haywire.
Most days were spent in an unexpected manner: most good, a few bad.

Yesterday was plain weird.
But now that I have assessed everything, I am glad, I am through & it's over.
Closure feels amazing once you're past the initial suddenness.
Chapter closed.

I never imagined writing down (typing, in this case) my feelings would be so helpful. I love it.
My blog is now like a manual for me on "How To Deal" in situation X, Y, Z.
I am very excited about this.

I need to start college regularly from tomorrow onwards.
My attendance is dipping.
It sucks cos I had nearly perfect attendance in June!
I also need to start working on my projects. (I happen to know squat in computers!!)

I missed my GameSunday people so much yesterday :/
I can't wait for this Sunday.
We're playing Jenga :D
I've never played it before, but it seems like fun :) :)

Also! note to self : I neeeeeeed to shop. I don't have clothes. Nothing, nothing, nothing!
Need to drag K around Bandra with me :D :P

Last thinggg : I want love. But I shall not look for it. Or be impatient. Or be emo (lol).

Oh, oh P.S. .. I am happyyyyyy =)

Ah well, at least this thing works now.

Turns out I never wanted you.

I love old posts.
This is exactly how I feel today.

I am disappointed, relieved, confused more than ever.
I need a break.
I'm going to switch my phone off.

Someday You Will Be Loved

I once knew a girl
In the years of my youth
With eyes like the summer
All beauty and truth
In the morning I fled
Left a note and it read
Someday you will be loved.

I cannot pretend that I felt any regret
Cause each broken heart will eventually mend
As the blood runs red down the needle and thread
Someday you will be loved

You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved

You may feel alone when you're falling asleep
And every time tears roll down your cheeks
But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet
Someday you will be loved

You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved

You'll be loved you'll be loved
Like you never have known
The memories of me
Will seem more like bad dreams
Just a series of blurs
Like I never occurred
Someday you will be loved
Someday you will be loved

Sometimes ignorance rings true, but I hope it's not in what I know.

Maybe I think I love him just because I want so badly to be in love.
Maybe I just enjoy that it's unrequited, because it makes it more romantic, more tragic.
Maybe I just do it so others won't hurt me, because I know he won't.
Maybe I use it as a defence mechanism.
Maybe I want to build a wall around myself, so I can love him while resigning myself to the fact that nothing will happen. And then, I won't let anyone else in..
Maybe I am just afraid. I am just afraid.
I like the idea of longing and wanting someone more than they will ever know.
Maybe I am just playing myself into that?

OR .. maybe now I am just trying to pragmatically break my feelings up into logical/rational parts, to the point that I don't feel anything. So that I believe that I never did feel it in the first place.

If only I could figure out what sort of defence mechanism this is or what it is that I am defending myself against.

Sprain + Drama + Movies + Pictionary (:

Hey darlings ♥
I haven't blogged for a while now.
I am home today, woke up about 30 minutes back.
Now I sit with my bowl of cornflakes.. it tastes extra yummy today.

I fell down at the station yesterday.
Luckily it wasn't down a huge flight of stairs.
Just three steps.
Lucky and funny too :P
Who slips on THREE steps. Lol. Sigh.
So, I fell flat on my back.
I couldn't even get up.
My right foot got twisted.
Four people helped me get back on my feet.
Luckily (again!!) I got away without a scratch.

The idiot that I am.
I decided to go to college anyway :P
And it got worse in college :/
My foot started to swell up and I couldn't even walk.

I don't know how I travelled from Churchgate to Malad on my own.
But I kept telling myself that I need to learn to take care of myself, which is the only reason I made it.

Funny thing is, it was hurting so much..
and I wanted to cry to release some tension (it's supposed to be therapeutic)
BUT nothing!
I have a well grounded suspicion that I might be bionic.
I can't cry or what!
I fall and sprain my leg this bad & I don't cry!!!

-x-

Other than the aforementioned incident, I haven't fallen down (too much) this week.
Tuesday was such a blast, you have no idea.
Unfortunately I can't have a written account of what actually happened that day in college.
I don't want any trouble :P
Both lectures got cancelled though (dramaaaaa!)
If rumours are to be believed Blitzkrieg, I.V, participation in other college fests, etc. is cancelled for us this year (because of what happened). More on that later.

-x-

I watched White Chicks yesterday.
Crazy movie.
If you are in a weird mood and want to watch something funny, then I'd suggest it :P
I will be watching The Devil's Advocate today.
It seems very interesting.
Can't wait.

-x-

I also can't wait for Pictionary Sunday !!
Pleeeeease come :)
Even though I don't know how to play the game properly, I am very excited :P
I want it to top last Sunday ^_^

-x-

Soooooo..
That's all for now folks!
I plan to catch up on some reading today.
& movies
& music + cylindrical white sticks + rain = bliss!
(I've been smoking like a chimney off late.)

Letter #22

Two more times. Two. More. Times.
Both dreams practically the same.
Am I about to see him soon?
Or is it just yen?
I don't know what to hope for.
I miss him.
I haven't seen him forever.
.. it will only make it so much harder.

P.S. Make me stop listening to this song. It's depressing me.

Sleep is over rated!

I must've slept for like 10 hours in the last three days. And it's not even like I lead a super busy life that I don't have time to sleep. I am just having this random insomniac phase for some reason.

I have never been a night person because my parents always made sure that I was tucked in at 10, so I'd get my 8 hours before school. The habit stuck. I love early mornings. I still do. Thanks to the insomnia, now I have both =P

"Well you figure, you sleep one-third of your life .." - Lost In Translation.

Do we seriously waste that huge a part of our life dozing?! How bloody absurd is that? I love life too much to give up on other things I could've done in that much time.. which is why I have promised myself that I will NOT feel guilty about staying up late and waking up early. If I have something to do, I'd much rather do THAT than sleep. Only if I am bored or extremely tired, I will allow myself to sleep =P Actually, that's probably the only way I ever get sleep these days. I have no body clock, whatsoever.

So, please DO feel guilty if you slept for like 15 hours today. (yea, people do that on a regular basis!) because you could've watched a movie, read a book, written a blog post, hung out with friends, shopped, played football, cooked a meal, talked on the phone, walked in the rain or done something else that interests you instead. Shame on you =P

P.S. The author shall not be responsible for any resultant crankiness, moodiness or lack of "beauty"...

Sooooo, I got a grey hoodie today =D
It's so cuteeeee.
It's got tiny skulls on it *.*
It was the last piece too!
And just for 299/-
K so wanted to snag it from me! =P Hahaha..
But she got her Batman T-shirt, so I bet she's happy.
Now I have three hoodies.
I should have four, but I can't find my red one :/
Hmm, hoodies are becoming my thing now or what?
I don't know.
They are so comfy I could fall asleep in them. ♥

I also got a haircut, w00t!
Same as I had before.
I like fringes ♥
So, I get haircuts once a year.
.. ok, I lied.
Once a year is an exaggeration, but once every 8-10 months I cut my hair.
'Cos it grows really slow :(
Which is kind of a good thing, 'cos my hairstyles stay longer and I don't have to spend too much =P

Ok, what am I on about? Somebody shut me up plz!

I am feeling uber hyper today.
Weird because I should be exhausted.
K and R keep making me walk every where!
I walked from college to Westside, then to Causeway, to back to Churchgate!
Nice workout =P
And then K started abusing this old pervert in the middle of the road.
That too in Hindi!!
I couldn't keep my angry/mad face on and I started laughing.. funny shit xD

Buuuuuuuuut, I got to eat my favourite corn. Yay =D
I ♥ corn so much!
Especially the pudina hot corn you get below Mc.Donalds' @ Causeway.
Try that one! Yummy ♥

Anywaaaaaaaay, college is at 8.30 tomorrow. Oh joy!
I look forward to the Orientation after (maybe, I might just skip it .. shush =P)

Yeaaah, time for me to shut my trap =)
Byeeeeeeeee x

Three Seven Seven, Decriminalized.

I am very happy today =) If you watched the news, you'll know why ^_^

I'll be there for you (maybe..)

These people who call themselves my "friends" just want somebody to use so they can get by.

S once said that you shouldn't let relationships define the kind of person you are, you ought to let you define the relationships you have. I agreed with him and I did before he told me this. I just never managed to put it into words before.

For example, let's say I am friends with M. M asked me to run an errand for him because he's very busy. It's a small errand, really. Not a big deal. I tell him I'll do it if I can. Turns out I can't do it. I happen to have a busy day too. Does that make me a bad friend? If so, on what basis? Because friends are supposed to go out of their way for each other? Hmph. Sorry, that just isn't enough for me. I know M would've never gone out of his way for me, M never has. If it was P, I would've gone out of my way for him (& not because he's done something for me, but because I genuinely want to do it for him).

It's just different with different people you know.

Why is it so hard for certain people to understand that every friendship (or relationship) is unique. If I am friends with X and Y, there are certain things I'll do for X and not for Y. I needn't explain myself over and over for that.

I hate it when people treat friendship like a contract. "You are my friend so you have to do this for me." "Aren't we friends?!"

And I hate it when people treat friends like commodities to kill time when their boy/girlfriends aren't around, then dash as soon as they get one phone call.

It sucks how many useless people have been in my life and absolutely ruined what "friendship" is supposed to mean.

I hope that phase of poor choice of friends is over for me. Even if I let a few people call themselves my "friends" I know there's always going to be this line which I won't let them cross, I won't let them on the inside that easily. And I am not a "stuck up" for doing this, at all. I am not. I just like to protect myself from potential wreckers and unwarranted drama.

I don't have a million friends now but I do have a few friends that I can count on :) And I'd hope to die before I see them change.
