NUGGETS....

Life's been dragging on, slow and musically, like it always does during vacations and DEAD times like these. I've been reading, sleeping and thinking a lot(come to think of it, NOTHING festive at all going on in my life, which is surprising, but then, not really). There are atleast two extremely serious topics on which I wanna write here, because I've been thinking so much about them, but I would postpone it just for now, because...
  • I don't want another controversy so soon on this page. The last post was interpreted and blown out of proportion, even though I liked that.
  • I can't post too much thoughtful stuff one after the other, can I? This is not a sad page.
  • I've been warned against posting one of these topics..
So, let me just share a few nuggets of my life...all that's been happening of late, though not much is happening!

  • Diwali came and went, but I didn't feel it. Not in the usual, expected ways. The way I did, I'll share on this blog soon. But everything has its time.
  • Read this somewhere: Most of what happens in our lives happens in our absence. Haven't stopped thinking about this one ever since. It's so goddamn true.
  • I, unfortunately, escaped the Delhi blasts by a chance. Coincidence u may say. Sad coincidence! I had to go shopping to SN that day. Something, last moment, made us change our decision. My relatives live near Paharganj. I was supposed to be there instead, visiting their place, since the shopping trip was postponed. I didn't go, because another of my relatives suddenly dropped by that evening. I hate life.
  • I dont light crackers. Never. This time, I didnt do anything else on Diwali either. One of the most un-enthu Diwalis I remember. But do I care? Not for this. But something else. Soemthing else I do care abt.
  • Have been reading, writing, thinking a lot. Sleeping like anti-insomniacs. And watching crap on TV. What a useless life...but not really. Of crse, cricket is a good occupation..but wat the hell...India has won everything now. What will anyone watch the remaining series for...(that said, I'm extremely happy for Dravid, and a little sad for Ganguly)
  • Living away from IIT is not like life at all. Days don't even seem to pass, and the mind is pre-occupied with past.
  • I used to love nuggets once upon a time.
See u in a few days...this vacation will surely be over!
Belated Happy Diwali..and Eid Mubarak.

Hy Phoneix Baby!

I agree with Most of what happens in our lives happens in our absence..Life is something that happens when you are busy doing something else..
Dont worry, constancy is boring..Try to make the best even away from IIT..woh bhi din acche hain:) Great that you escaped the blasts..I had this plans for wathcing the match on this weekend. We also bought a package. Ab kya fayda dekhke:(

"Most of what happens in our lives happens in our absence. Haven't stopped thinking about this one ever since."

My personal PoV is that it is actually the other way round. But a good introspective thought.

//but wat the hell...India has won everything now. What will anyone watch the remaining series for..

Gawd..had a narrow escape!!

Dreamy Eyed Gal said...

The 2nd point is so true...I also realized this very recently...and once we get to know wot has happened its such a shock...and as for not being in SN the day of the blast...I'd say that's a really nice coincidence...wud've been even more wonderful if the blast hadnt happened at all...and as for the cricket...I feel that Sourav didnt derserve to go like this...esp after conributing so much...the concept of "Team India", "the famous Indian huddle" and no regional feeling...all that and more was due to Sourav...its just so sad that he went due to politics and in such a demeaning manner!!!...newez nice post!!!

" vacations and DEAD times like"

"NOTHING festive at all"

" I didn't go, because another of my relatives suddenly dropped by that evening. I hate life."

Solution? Tea . Coffee . Tea . Coffee .Tea . Coffee.. :)

"I've been warned against posting one of these topics.. "
