poem2

I sit in my deep maroon colored car

The one I have totally fallen for

The engine comes to life

The steering start turning

Somebody once told me to drive slowly

Slowly so that you enjoy the ride more.

I remind myself of the words again

And I take my foot off.

It’s a rough and dry road

But I like the way it hits me.

As always, the start is bouncy

But yea, that’s the pleasure of the ride!

My velvety maroon car

Its still cruising on the rough road

I keep going, whistling

The road seems to going on and on

Suddenly I realize,

My car has taken me to the clouds

the clouds are wine colored just as my car

I seem to let go of everything

And drown in them.

Euphoric, I wanna swim in those rich clouds

I know the buzz of the ride is getting in my head

Before I realize, the rides over

The clouds are gone

But I won’t worry,

Coz I know I would put in the keys again!

Desert Rain

I saw the little girl sitting on the sidewalk

Tired and cheeks stained

I knew the reason

“are you tired my little girl?

“yes, I am ….I did not want to be here.

This is not what I thought it would be.”

“I brought you where u always wanted to be”

“now I want to go back…back again

Back to the innocent world.

It was warm and rosy

But I was curious

Was curious about this.

I was excited when you brought me here

But this is not what I was expecting it would be

Its too cruel.

How come those dreams are still dreams?

Or was it just a mirage?”

“ Oh! Mirage u say , my girl?

It is a mirage, but we had fun running behind it, dint we?

See those people are still running…”

“But I am tired, tired of this running

But I know I can’t ever go back

Can not go back to that sunshine

Can not go back to the warm womb”

I sit there on the sidewalk beside her,

My shoulders down

Deep inside, I know I am tired too

“I can take you back, may be”

But I know I am not complete without her.

She knows that too…

She ponderes and smiles

She kisses me on my cheek and says

“I wont leave you alone..

I wont go back and make you run thru the desert by urself

I know you cant make the mirage a reality sans me

Who is gonna bring smiles on ur face

And stars in your eyes?”

I look at her

I know I am not complete without her.

She knows that too…

And there we go, with our eyes at the mirage!

Spring Break!

Well yesterday the school started again. It was a pretty cool spring break though. Went for the DC trip with my kool n 'Jhakaaaas' grp.
It was a well planned trip. Booked a caravan as we were 8 of us. Ketan and Amol had to drive us thru the almost 9 hrs drive. Full time music and dance made that 9 hrs drive really short.
Stayed at Amol's cosins place. Saturday we went to Luray caverns to see the Stalactites and Stalagmites. The place is really beautiful. The skyline drive was pretty too. Saturday night we went for clubbing.
Sunday was hectic as we did 'DC Darshan'. The museums r amazing and so are the monumnets. White house was OK. Came back home really late and thn hogged down sm Thai food.
Then it was the time to return back! Started very early in the morning with Amol(!) at the wheel.

It was one of the most memorable trips I hv ever had. And mostly the last trip as the whole grp together. As most of us are on the verge of graduation, we dont know whn we would get together like this. Will miss my second family for sure.....

Here goes 1 for today:

Q: Why cant a mute cat walk?

A: A mute cat cant mew.
Hence, μ = 0
μ is the coefficient of friction.
as friction is 0,movement i s 0!
so the cat cant walk!!!!!

and....a reply frm Manas, worth posting! here it goes...


Wrong. Depends on if the cat is currently walking or only
sitting. ;-) Because according to Newton's First Law, "every body
continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line
unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force." So if there is
zero friction, the cat will continue walking across the globe until
someone goes out and stops it (and someone better do!)

Then again, if the cat is Schrodinger's Cat, it might be walking
*and* not walking at the same time.

But of course, what fun are geek jokes if a geekier geek doesn't try
to dissect it to shreds? :-) Thank you for wasting two minutes of my
life.

Roobaroo.....roshni se

Oh wow! I feel so nice today! So nice that I finally remembered that I have a blog!
Last week in particular wasnt very good...the later part of it rather. Had a midterm...studied veryyy nicely. The midterm was OK but felt nice about the way I studies.
I got totally bogged down by few things in the later part of the last week. Felt very weak and confused as if I was looking at everything without my specs!
Good that I have come out of everything. I always knew I would. I know how strong I am and now it feels so good to come back :)
I am even becoming more desciplined. Getting all work done nicely as decided. Feeling so sure about myself ! Its one of those days when u know that nothing can ever go wrong with you and every step u take will lead u to your goal for sure.
Seems like I hv put my specs back on! hehehe :)

Let It Snow...

Finally its snowing in Buffalo! When I came back from my India Trip, I was expecting to see the usual snowland as my plane landed. But it was just green everywhere....
But now thankfully its snowing. Its beautifully white everywhere.Everyone calls me crazy coz I like snow. But the white sidewalks and plain white backyards look so beautiful! I just love the way the snow 'sits' on the top of the bushes. the best sight to watch is whn its snowing and the sun is out! The sparkling snowflecks flowing around is the best thing to watch!
I always wanted to visit Moscow when I was a kid. I used to read all these Russian kids' storybooks. I loved the description of the winters. I used to think that Russia is the only place where it snows and so it must be the most beautiful country in the world! Heheh, I was 4-5 yrs old then!
But now I am in Buffalo and I get to see the beauty of the snow that I wanted to see as a kid. Looking forward to a snowfight now.....

Man! totaaaaaaaaalllly in love with my Pepe. Perfect fitting.
ummm....I guess I say this for all my jeans :O
heheh

Hmmm...

I would thank god for making me what I am .......

Fun Monday!

Had lotsa fun on Monday. We had a plan to meet up with the CKP gang. Wasnt doing anythign productive at home so decided to go for '15th Park Avenue' with Manas and G1.
Really good movie. Top class acting by everyone. Aparna Sen is a a really good director. Konkona Sen is just too good in the role of the schizophrenic. Disturbing movie.
The fun part abt the movie was the theater!'Red Lounge' thing at Infiniti Mall. Nice Lazyboy chairs...Really nice experience to watch the movie on the recliner.
Three of us roamed the mall and shopped for two and half hrs till the rest of the gang came. Finally at 8:45pm Anup, Madz, Sush and Nikhil came. Sad that Amit could not make it.
Had a nice dinner at salt n pepper. came home at almost 1:30 am!
I hv so much fun with these ppl. Feels nice to get good friends so unexpectedly! every time I chat with these ppl, I hv good time. Manas and Sushant hv the same SOH...and others at least appreciate it! The whole time we were just laughing. Might meet up again else till next time....

Hum To Gaye Des Re........

Bloggin after a long time....was too busy having fun!
It was such a great feeling to see my family on the airport...I met the whole Mulund gang after one and half years! Had met Amit when he was inUS though.
The feeling of getting pampered is just too awesome.Back to the security blanket. Just feels like hugging these three ppl and never lettin go....

Oooopssssssssss!!!!

Sudden change of name???? yeaa......... Suchha stupid of me to keep a name like rand( );
some jerk (:P) made me realize this. Gotta think of some nice name now....Brainstorming!!!

Piya Tora Kaisa Abhimaan....

Suddenly stumbled upon this song from the movie 'Raincoat'. Had totally forgotten it. Shubha Mudgal's voice and Gulzar's poetry makes it an awesomely enchanting combination. The movie was slow. but I think the song made a strong impact in the movie. Its continuously playing in the background during the main Aishwarya-Ajay part of the movie.The song ,esp.Gulzar's lines portray the helplessness and lonelyness of Aishwarya's character really well. A very moving poetry, I would say. Here are Gulzaar's lines...

Kisi mausam ka jhonka tha jo is deewar par latki hui tasweer tirchi kar gaya hai
gaye sawan mein ye deewarein yun seeli nahin thi
na jane kyon is dafa inme seelan aa gayi hai,
dararein par gayi hain
aur seelan is tarah bahti hai jaise,
khushq rukhraron pe geele aanso chalte hain.

ye baarish gungunati thi isi chat ki munderon par
ye baarish gungunati thi isi chat ki munderon par
ye ghar ki khidkiyon ke kaanch par ungli se likh jaati thi sandese
girti rahti hai baithi hui ab band roshandano ke peeche.

dupehrein aisi lagti hain,
bina muhron ke khaali khaane rakhein hain
na koi khelne waala hai baazi
aur na koi chaal chalta hai

na din hota hai ab na raat hoti hai sabhi kutch ruk gaya hai
wo kya mausam ka jhonka tha
jo is deewar par latki hui tasweer tirchi kar gaya hai

There is a version in Hariharan's voice as well. That is haunting too. I liked the one in Shubha Mudgals voice better. It sounds more sad and just loved the effect it makes throughout the movie.
Hatz off to Gulzaar who can write such an awesome lyrics. Shubha Mudgal and Hariharan have sung too good as ever.

' nahi aaye kesariya balama hamar.....angana bada sunsaan.. Piya tora kaisa abhimaan....'

Duh! geek!

Watta a geeky name my blog has! I cant undertsand at times how I can be so geeky. Addicted to Java ;)
Thought over my friend circle...all my close friends are geeks. I have a special affinity for geeks I guess. All roomies are more or less geeks even though we try to show that we r not! But statements like ' Oblong is oval rotated 180 degrees' says it all.
I know my blogs gonna suck bigtime. so bad at writing.....so inefficient in putting my thoughts in words......inefficient by default or by choice?

First Post!

Hmmm....finally I create my own blog. I had this on my mind for a long time, but never created one. I hope I dont run out of thoughts and words!
