friends from different walks of life

friends are the people with whom we can share things, blabber about our day, crib about life, cry, laugh, criticise, blame, share happiness and excitement....people whom we can fight with..we find frnds in all walks of life....some remain in our life throughout, while some bid goodbye wishing us good luck...some best frnds are there with u for every important moment...be it ur bday party at school, ur 1st job interview, ur 1st call letter, ur 1st big important exam, ur gossip sessions abt ur 1st crush, ur 1st day at the job...the list can go on and on...and these ppl can be anyone...need not be ur college frnd..can be ur sibling, ur mom or dad...and u can practically meet them anywhere in this world..can be even ppl u meet online...or a person who became ur frnd wn u were all alone during an important occasion..a family function where u made frnds with a girl who was equally bored..:)

conversations with frnds can be an hour long chat on the phone or can be a simple smile and a hi..it can be blabbering abt things or can simply mean being present for each other wn needed...u just need a connection with the other person to share your feelings, your emotions, your deepest secrets...frnds simply make u feel happy, make u feel cared for, and u think there is something good in life everytime u know someone is there...evn ur building's cutest kid can be ur frnd....i for one love to play with kids..u can go back to ur bachpan, relive all the cute moments...the same way, u can also have a good time discussing abt ur life with ur mother...like the way i joke arnd with my mom, dad, sister, and the way they advice me on things....

but sometimes the presence of a frnd is not important..since people have different ambitions and dreams, u cant always expect things to b the way u want them to b...times change and so do people..and u have to let go off certain people... bcoz if u lose people, u also gain more people in life...sometimes just the old feelings that u get back wn u meet a frnd are much more special than an everyday encounter...so catch up with ur old pals, share things with ur family, and also make new frnds....:)

things to do wn ur not in a good mood...

wn ur not in a good mood or are very sad bcoz of some reason(abt which u cant do anything) or if ur simply bored, do the things that u always wanted to, but didnt have the time....

ill first find out the reason behind my bad mood, try to sort it out...and if everything fails, ill try these....

• go for a walk with ur mom or dad and talk to them abt ur childhood days....
  
• play scrabble with ur family....
  
• dance....its the best distraction..
  
• enqueue ur favourite songs in ur music player...and sing along as loudly as possible
  
• call an old frnd...
  
• solve puzzles, crossword or play sudoku....
  
• watch a funny movie or clip....
  
• sit near the window and watch children play in the neighbourhood..
  
• play ur favourite kiddie games with kids...
  
• have pani puri, bhel puri or ur favourite road side food...
  
• get drenched in the rain...
  
• try to cook even if u know u cant...
  
• take an old cloth or mop and clean ur room..
  
• try an old dress that u had kept tugged in the cupboard for a long long time....
  
• gorge on food....all the good things like chocolate, ice cream....will surely make u happy....
  
• order a pizza....and have the whole thing for urself...
  
• read a good book....
  
• watch a dubbed movie (like the ones which r actually english movies but get played in hindi)....ull definitely have a good laugh...if its a regional language, its even better...
  
• watch a song on tv in mute mode, and at the same time increase the volume of a song playing in the radio...and see wt funny effects r created..
  
• take up some random topic and argue abt it with someone and then laugh over it..
  
• go for shopping, and buy something that u always wanted to have...
  
• simply switch off the lights, ur cell phone and go to sleep...

no mood is so bad that u cant change it...u just need to distract urself from the situation and ull soon be up and ready..as happy as u can ever be..

things that make me sad...

no matter how strong we might be in life, there are things that make us wonder how, when and where things went wrong between us and the people we love. For me, frnds are an important part of life, and these are some of the  situations that make me feel bad:

• when a best friend suddenly turns into an acquaintance...
  
• when chatters turn into silences...
  
• when there used to be a time when you couldnt stop talking to a frnd, and when now you both struggle hard to find some topic to start a conversation...
  
• when the same person who always used to wish you first forgets an important occasion...
  
• when the very number that used to be in your dialled list every day doesnt even find a place in your phone anymore...
  
• when a frnd forgets to give you their new number...
• when you can no longer call a frnd anytime of the day to just blabber abt life....
  
• when a frnd with whom you used to chat everyday appears invisible on yahoo, just so that you wouldnt disturb them...
  
• when a whole year passes by, and u wonder how u couldnt meet your frnd even though you both were in the same college....
  
• when its been years since you visited your favourite hangout (where you used to be a regular in your college days)...
  
• when you need to remind a frnd abt the very joke that binded u both together (just because they dont remember it anymore)...
  
• when a frnd doesnt recognise your voice when you call them...
• when you come across a good frnd, and the only words exchanged are "hey"....and "cu later"...
• when you can no longer crack the same silly jokes, bcoz you dont know what their reaction would be like....
• when you call up a frnd to share something with them, and eventually cut the call thinking they might be busy...
• when misunderstandings between friends increase so much that you cant solve them anymore, no matter how hard you try...
• when you can only remember the old times, and know for sure that those moments are never going to come back...
  

people come and go in our lives, and there are those people who dont even realise their importance in your life till they part ways with you. 

my junior college-sies..and my frnd vinita

last few days of one's time in college are very special for various reasons....be it bcoz of the times when v had bunked college, been scolded by professors, thrown out of the class, caught peeking into someone else's paper, or simply being reminded that we r grown ups and not school kids anymore. and its especially very close to my heart bcoz i have been in sies for the past 5 years...

and this makes me want to rewind my life and go back to my 1st day of college...

the very 1st day when i entered college, and searched for my class, when i finally entered my classroom full of students, abt a 100 of them.when i sat in a bench and made frnds with my neighbours..wn i was gradually starting to experience college life...wn a gal named vinita cracked a joke from somewhere....and i turned arnd and gave her a smile...wn the same gal became my best frnd soon enough...and we started roaming arnd in the entire college, passing comments at people, breaking test tubes in the chemistry lab, laughing during the rat dissection lecture in the bio lab...from talking abt our crushes, gossiping abt everything that we could lay our hands on....to not caring abt the people around us and just simply enjoying each and every moment of the 2 years in college..from traditional day to sari day, from laughing and irritating others no end...to our bdays....everything was crazy... 

i had experienced some of the best days of my life during this time, wn we used to wait to come to college just to see our common crush, talk abt our day, keep looking out the window and not hear a single word taught by the professor, lie at the drop of a hat and give random reasons when we were in the defaulters' list. v had so many similarities, from being huge fans of backstreet boys, westlife and blue, to having the common traits of being a big chatterbox, gossip queen..we could blabber abt anything for hours, eat at anytime of the day, and anything for tht matter..also not to forget the discussions on mahesh tutorials professors and lectures...also the cute sir...(hope u remember vinita)..;)

but having said that, there were also times wn i hated her crushes and thought they looked aweful, and laughed at her choice,and she also did the same...also, wn she tried to impress one of her crushes, and wrong connection lag jata tha...loll..(remember vinita?)....

hindi lectures and chemistry lab keedas cant ever be forgotten by us...wn the professor had caught us having lunch and completing our journals, all in the same day..

wn once a professor had given me an assignment (to write an entire hindi chapter) as a punishment, and since that day both of us didnt sit for that lecture evn once, till the last day of college..from searching for someone in the chemistry lab to running away after being seen by that person...lol..

and wn finally the results were declared and we were clueless abt wt to do after 12th...

just the fact that im in touch with only vinita and none of my other frnds proves the fact that we r still the best of frnds...although others r there in orkut and my yahoo frnds' list...no one can ever make me miss my college days...although we dont meet much,(bcoz of vinita's busy schedules..hehe:))..im sure we will always be there for each other wn its needed...people come and go in ur life,but some special frnds stay with u forever..and vinita is one of them...and hope im one of them in vinita's life...

crack it and typeracer....

today was supposed to be my day wn i would be going for my rj hunt event..i.e radio jockey....but it turned out tht it got delayed, and tht we had nothing to do....so we went for sudoku( an event in which i had won the 1st prize last yr).it was a bit tough, and i had clearly no hopes of winning..it really made me feel bad...to be frank made me think at one point that i didnt deserve the prize last yr...but, there r always better ppl than u....i went on to the next event-crack it..but, we had to wait for it to begin...so instead, we thought we would go for another event...typeracer, which will test ur typing speed....so i gave this test just to pass my time....then we came back to crack it...wherein u r supposed to bring out a story out of some pictures given to u, and explain how it is related to management, and wt u can dipher from it..

so this event was really good, where me and my partner, supam explained everything well...next, we went for some stupid "corporate gyaan" quiz...which was bad bad bad....hehe...

so, now we still had to wait for the results, so i decided to register for some other events....meanwhile, i saw my name in the 2nd place for the crack it event. and also for the typeracer event..but, didnt get a prize for sudoku......

hmmmmm.....i must say it was a v good experience....i presented confidently, said all the things tht i wanted, prepared the story really well, and supam and my jodi was the best...:)....well, i got to know wt i can do, and it definitely increased my confidence...:)....

but, i didnt get the sudoku prize, something that i had expected in the morning, wn i came to college....but, got a prize in these 2 events, for which i had no preparation, no idea, something tht i just tried for timepass....

well, sometimes things do happen unexpectedly, u win some, and u lose some...but, it is important to enjoy the experience....just to c how it turns out, and if u r capable of something...today, wn i think back i can rewind and see meenakshi sitting in front of the computer yesterday, even thinking once that she wont go all the way to college......she was getting bored....

and she was irritated wn the rj hunt was delayed... but now i can realise that something good comes out of everything...u just need to go out there and do something...:) 

my cell..sony ericsson k700i

my dad has promised me a new cell phone if i get a distinction...needless to say, i am super happy, bcoz the cell tht i have rt now, though has a radio and a camera, is a v simple cell which il b too happy to get rid of and get a brand new one...which will have a good camera and good memory...but, just then i thought ...wt will hapn to my old cell?my sony ericsson k700i

tht cell which was with me from 14th april,2006...(i even rem the date..:)...tht shows how special it is for me..)

tht cell which was my biggest timepass, wn i was all alone while going to coll and had only radio for company, tht cell which looks really cute to me, evn though it is a simple one...

tht cell which shows ppl's pictures wn i get their msg or call...(which is a v cute thing acc to me, and sumthing tht is lacking in even sum of the new phones...)...

i rem the 1st time wn i got it, the excitement and expectations tht i had from my cell, since it was my 1st cell, which had a camera....and i remember the tons of pictures tht i had taken in the 1st week itself...

tht cell which evn though has a weak battery, works wn i switch it off, and then switch it on again...surprisingly, works for a much longer time....

the loads of pictures tht i have taken with it,the many cute msges tht i have in it...the notes tht i have saved in it...wt will happen to all tht, if i get a new cell?

well, i really hope tht i get a new cell..but wt i wanna say is tht im too attached to my cell, and it would b difficult to let go off tht cell, which helped me take pictures wn my digicam wasnt working, which helped me capture all the moments with my family wn i went somewhere...

so maybe ill just keep it with me always....after all, wt can be better than seeing a person's face wn you get their sms?specially wn u r waiting for it?:)....maybe evn my new cell wouldnt give me tht option....

You know you are in love when…..

A poem about love, a poem which i would love to dedicate to the person i love.....

A call isnt just a call,
U have never missed someone so much at all,
Roses get an altogether different meaning
You know you are in love when…..
In life, you start believing…

You anxiously wait for that one sms
Just to see that person’s name on your mobile…
You don’t care about the world,
You just want that sms, even if it had come before, just a little while…..
You know you are in love when…..
Even a simple message makes your life worth while…

The whole day seems incomplete,
When u don’t hear from them.
There are so many things already said,
But still u have so many words to say….
You know you are in love when…..
Just their voice is enough to make ur day….

All the moments spent together,
All the moments spent apart,
All the silly fights and arguments….
Without them, life seems so boring
You know you are in love when…..
U never wanna let them go….

You look forward to meeting them
And you know they are the ones who care,
Life seems exciting and wonderful.
There are so many things to share.
You know you are in love when…..
You know someone special is there….

So many things happen each day,
You wish you could just rewind
And go back to all the days, one by one
Even if you have all the details in your mind….
When same things seem different
And different things seem alike…
You know you are in love when…..
Love isn’t just love, it becomes your life…..
