I've been tagged! it feels nice to do something with a real purpose behind it. i have been very sweetly asked by a fellow blogger of good repute-Sid to make my own to-do list and how can i not oblige?
in no specific order, here is the very boring list( i call it boring, because my current frame of mind curtails my ability at humour):
1. lose weight-this has been dream for as long as i can remember!
2. be a good engineer and actually be able to do some worthwhile stuff, not administrative crap
3. spend a summer in Tuscany
4. cook good food(too many Os!)
5. see the best places in the world, and i don't count those picture postcard stuff only. i mean the real lifestyles and people!
6. write my own series of books on varied topics, and actually have people read it
7. be remembered by the people i have known. being known by unknowns would be a bonus
8. be a professional blogger
9. learn how to ski, surf and swim
10. get over my inherent inhibitions
11. have a bohemian lifestyle( i think i already do!)
12. have my own range of clothing and accessories and have a global brand recognition
13. play with a panda and a penguin
14. eat only chocolate for a whole day...preferably hot melting chocolate that runs down my neck and lower(please don't get any ideas, its a fantasy so don't spoil it)
15. get a nice massage that pampers me-the way those advertisements claim
16. run my own restaurant in partnership with my brother
17. have my own series of Mills and Boons
18. star in a blockbuster movie
19. learn ballet and bharatnatyam
20. buy myself a yacht
21. be more originally creative
22. paint a flawless canvas
23. have enough money to afford my fantasies
24. age gracefully
25. do something about my lack of imagination!
this has been my most uncreative and toughest post ever. i have never before thought of actually listing down my desires and frankly i still am not satisfied. i will though keep it as a ready reference for my actual progress!

party hard, study harder
today is my third week in my new college. i call it new coz i have just swaped colleges thanks to a system that upgrades my stream netime through out my first semester. so this is my new college-delhi college of engineering.
if you by any chance are wondering if the title of this post reflects my views and that i happen to be a "ghissu" then may i please take the liberty of simply saying that this doesnt happen to be my attitude but of those people that i ahev come to accept as my friends. for the uninitiated people who have nothing to do with engineering colleges in india and hence their lingo, "ghissu" is a derogatory form of a cross between a geek and a book-worm. and no one, may i repeat, no ones considers it a compliment but everyone becomes the long lost buddy of those few who are, at examination time.
so basically my new college requires me to travel a good two hrs daily one way and so my habit of making friends and studing unique samples of human life gets enough exposure. i have come to realise a few things about myself too. i, for one always divide people into categories of who and who not i can be on amicable terms with. and trust me my classification is best when instinctive and thankfully correct(mostly).
the ride to DCE in the morning is the best part. i happen to be the only female in the bus mostly and the for the guys i am like an unattainable piece of eve's descent! we have a university special bus and so all of them are either my batchmates or seniors, but still talking to a girl just like that is so unthinkable. sometimes i really wonder, does it say anywhere on my face that i'll gobble you up if u try n talk to me???? they seem to think so, and are shell shocked if you start a conversation with them. no. its a martal sin. guys here are just so incapable of a friendly chat with a girl.
the matters obviously differ when the girl is a bomb. then they'd talk to you to gather all the info they can abt her...building their databases you see. for future references
whatever said n done, i'm enjoying this place and there is always so much distance to walk that you can not get bored.

love to die for?
Q:what does nitish katara, abhishek mishra and most of our hindi film heroes have in common?A: they fell in love with a big shots girl. and had no qualms about standing up for their hearts
Q: what do they not have in common?
A: unlike the hindi movie hero who is some superman in disguise and can bloody hell fight the whole system, our two other guys never got the chance to. they were simply gotten rid off.
Q: what do we learn?
A: love aint made to be.
i aint all that skeptical n cynical for nothing. the recent turn of events though has touched me. what i see happening actually makes me wonder, can love actually survive the barriers that our standings in this hypocritical bunch of people called society create?what do u do when u fall in love with someone u can never have? and how can u be so sure that u'll never have them, when all ur books and movies and "supportive" people tell u taht love has its way? its gets tougher when u have all the right signals coming from the other side.
my anguish is not over lost love, but over weaklings who cant even stand up for their love. family pressure is understandable but it didnt come up overnight did it? how can you take a stand and then when you are cornered , u break down? i know family matters, i know those alive are more precious than those who died loving u. but r they?
all that makes me hold myself is the fact that at least they died believing their love to be strong. maybe love did have its way, just the one we thought it'll take

life, or smth like it
the previous post, which i have deleted, got a lot of people on high alert. it made me feel much better, made me feel there are people who care for me in their own sweet ways. thnx buddies! what would i do without u guys?
the perspectives on fighting my ghosts has made me realise that evryone has them, i'm not the only one. kind of makes u feel safe...in a group of similiar shit. shit happen and we all have havta deal with it. somehow its how we deal with it tat makes all the difference.
the complexities of emotions a real study. one moment u're sharing a cuppa coffee and the next ur life...some connections are always there to come up when u most need them
