had a wonderful tym 4 10 days meetin new ppl, visiting new places..... but in teh end, it felt good to b bak home...... coz nothin can replace tat feelin.....

Reality...... is it real????

The most common word in the english language... used by every1 in their daily lingo....

Multifaced,it all depends on how ppl take it in their life.....how real ppl can get!!!!

we al like to think & dream of nice an happy things...its innate that everything shud work like tick of a clock 4 us..... (not everything tho!!!!).... things which give us a sense of satisfaction are always welcomed.....a mental satisfaction always puts us in contenment.....

But woe!! Things r'nt da same always...... The same rosy picture cant b seen al the time...... something's gotta happen... turn the moment topsy turvy.... after all... whats life without challenges?????

That'z when reality comes into the scene.... It shows its ugly face out which seems the most disgusting ever seen so far..... somethin which we dont wish to face an accept.. its interesting 2 note tat the human nature has this innate behavior tat we dont wish 2 budge oursleves frm wer we find comfort....a change in sumthin which depends on the attitude of da person....... an reality is al about changes......

But when we try 2 luk in deep an discover the innate beauty in it,thats when we begin 2 face reality frm a different perspective...the ugliness slowly fades away..... the complacency which we show melts away an we move ahead... scalin more heights, reaching newer dimensions......

Personally i think, ever1 els is born wit this character.... its jus the time ppl tak 2 accept it tat differs... jus lik how we accept deaths.... an again, as i mentioned earlier,it again depends on one's attitude... an how u view it with a perspective..... and those who stay adamant in their decsion as to not 2 budge, r cowards!!!! who r afraid 2 accept the truth!!!

as the saying goes.... nothing can be changed by changing the face,but, everything can be changed by facing the change!!!!!

Right here Right Now!!!!!

I do realy think tat saying the right things at the right moment an right place is an art!!!! An art which i gotta learn.... :D!!!!

itz realy a difficult one to take...i find it realy hard to get used to it... i'm not undermining myself myself completely.. i can act accordingly once in a while.. but at times i'm completely lost.... some situations which r meant to b handled delicately goes off hand coz of me... hah,, no wonder ppl cal me a 'mandi'... ;)... hey hey! jus dont go the extremes,,, no major mishap has occured bcozz of me....hehe...
and i'm relay tryin hard to change....

Also, one thing i envy in some of the ppl i kno is their ability to talk things out.. sayin out things wit the correct words an effect.... sometimes these talkings do a lot good than written words....
for eg.. the act of consolation... it feels a lot better when ppl console u by talkin it out with u... i giv a special respect 4 them... i wish i cud do so... but 4 me, words come while i sit to pen down nythin... m more comfortable wit writings than speech...

al along the line,every1 has his/her own limitations....it al lies in how u utilise ur capabilities in the correct manner.....

sorry to 've bored u out wit this... wil come up wit interesting ones latr on.... ;)

Surf Excel hai naa!!!!!!

u mite b wondering watz the title abt..... naaa, i'm not into advertisin stuff.... 4get abt tat....the topic's a bit more serious.... jus tat i put a weird funny title..... sumthing shud b different naa????

You kno ther r some stains which u try 2 remove,but they remain ther intact.... as time goes by, they slowly fade away into jus a spot.....
Many things in our life r jus like this.... yea, it may differ.... incidents, moments for someone an 4 others it mite b someone in their life....

Mentioning abt teh first category.... incidents..... it mayb of various kinds.. some pleasant and mostly unpleasant..... love failures, deaths... it varies 4m person to person.... they stick 2 ur heart so hard tat its difficult to jus wash them away wid other thots....they bring tears,desperation,frustration tat u feel u'r completely drowned in despair.....

And one interestin fact is tat both categories r interrelated... in effect these incidents r brought by someone u kno or u dont....

It mite b tat someone u mite 've considered urs and put lotsa faith jus to c it shatter dwn.... it mite b ur friend who gave wid u al the time and suddenly turnin against u.....
hw painful this feeling is!!!! the pain of losing ur love is terrible but i think tat when u lose a friend ta loss is more.... when u witness how the bond of friendship loosens soo fast, u try to hold on tight but as it goes, a rope cant b tightened unless its two ends r held strongly..... all u can do is quietly let it go!!!!!

But nothin is static here....we al change ourselves.... time makes us change..... the desperation u felt some yrs bak may turn into jus unpleasant thots..... as i said earlier, the stain jus reduces to a spot!!!!!
And the times say it together........ 'SURF EXCEL HAI NAA!!!!' ..... :D

Yaadein.............

jus now ma friend said.... ' yaar,ther's jus 20 more days left 4 us'.....these words stuck me so hard..... can't believe tat we'r almost out of college to step into tat big, unruly and cruel world outside.... the gates r now fully open and we'r shown our way out into the big ocean outside....

my god!!!! just thinkin of tat makes me gulp in despair...... those golden moments in life...... nothin can replace them..... those class bunksss, proxies, canteen food, strikes, films, missed calls and sms durin class hours, last minute study, thundu vekkals..... then those crushes,affairs...... man, u cant get these days bak....
days of absolutely no responsibility..... carefree life,enjoying life to the maximum.....
for the guyss out there, those 'koodals' ,alambals at nights at someone's house or hostel,combined study...........( ;-) ... hehe..)
yea!!!! its one time when the strength and bond in relationships grow stronger..... frienship's attain new meaning..... u value ur friends an pals more.....
and the comin of freshers is a treat 4 the guys!!!! in search of 'nice' girls...... and those mock proposals and bouquets on valentines day!!!! ohh.... how exciting!!!
and when january comes, itz the time 4 intercollegiate fests!!!! those tensions durin those days, sleepless nights and after all, the feeling of happiness an contenment when everything goes off well as planned ('YO NIRVAAN!!!!! ').....

and to think we've to forgo these things and sit in front of a system cracking our heads from morn til nite(atleast 90% of them r gonna end up lik this!!!!)... a few of them preferrin higher studies wil get some of them bak.... but i don think itz gonna b so enjoyable lik tis...... the graduation level life is one of the best in one's life!!!!

so, enjoy ur last days guysss.... atleast u'll have some fond memories to think an laugh upon!!!!! and shed some tears too..... thinkin tat u wont get them bak!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE,LOVE an LOVE only!!!!!

ishq bina kya jeena yaro, ishq bina kya marna yaro.........
these words mayb familiar 2 u all..... yea, one song which epitomizez the feeling of love and passion for ur lover...... one of my personal fav too....
yea, this is one subject which has had its maximum no of pen downs.... a universal feeling...... every single soul exisitin do have that feelin in them.... if u dont love, then u'r not a human being.....
An interesting fact is tat its one feeling which takes many forms.... u kno, lik the amoeba.....
parents lovin their children, child luvin his/her parents,luv being lovers, luv in friendship.......
stil interesting one is the last one in the above said category..... i've always wondered the difference in the 2..... and i think ther's jus a thin line of difference b/w them.....
i jus remebered a saying.....
FRIENDSHIP MAY END IN LOVE.... BUT......LOVE IN FRIENDSHIP.... NEVER.......
i do agree wit this statement..... two friends may end up fallin in lov.. as i've heard friendship's da stepping stone for luv.... but 2 lovers parting to jus da level of friendship..... i think it requires considerable amount of courage an will power..... and ther mayb jus a handful of them in the latter category.....
friendship's a wonderful feeling.....they form a undaunting part of our life..... they'r thru all our ups an downs.....to guide us,correct us...... to hav fun.....to share tears.... itz one blast of a feelng in all!!!!
but at some point of life,ur heart yearns for tat special someone..... tat person whoz gonna b ur lifelong friend..... who'll hold ur hand an walk wit u.... hold u strongly.... be ur support..... they'll b a part of your joys and also pacify u and hold u up during ur testing times...... ur heart yearns for tat an tatz when u realise what luv is...... and i think tat being in luv jus doesnt mean giving surprises,those hugs an kisses..... ther's more than tat..... occasional fights, those make ups.... after all, these r ways of knowing the person better.......

woow... i neva thot tat i cud write tis much.... after al,watz life w/o luv????????

jus lik tat!!!! aahaaa!!!!!

recently my friend suggested a title for ma blog..... AANA.... ANUSHA's ADVANCED NOTIONS AND ASPIRATIONS...... hehe.... coool one.....thinkin of changin it over......
so, life's goin pretty gud.... classes borinnnnn as usual.... seriuosly, wonder whoever did find this idea of lectures....... those so called 'lecturers' comin all dressed up from home, jus 2 bore us out pooor students...... i seriusly think only a handful of them r there who knos how to handle a clas properly..... and it feels realy gud 2 sit in their class.. they can make the sub really interesting...... but there r some who make the subject sound like world war 2...... we had a maths teacher ... anitha miss.... man, one hell of a techer she's!!!! missing her classes now.....
then ther was one.... m not mentioning her name...... 'kunje, nee matee book kondu vaa'....( those who kno this dialogue mus 've gueesed the person) woaah!!!!! every student sittin in her class must be rewarded wit a nobel prize!!!!! she makes the subjects soooooooo interesting tat u hate the subject like anything( IRONY!!!!)... ' Aaaaa union BBbbbbb' is her classic dialogue.... in tat original trivandrum slang...... she has made us hate not just one but 3 or 4 of them..... and the big joke is she's one among the senior most....... kaalam poya pokke!!!!!!

stil ther r some who 've the knowledge but fail 2 express it in the proper manner..... i realy feel pity 4 them..... they try their best 2 make us understand but woe!!!!!! poor souls.......

then ther's another category!!!! knowledge level mayb low!!!! but they win oly wit their luks an personality......ezp among those female lecturers...... u've got the luks!!!! tatz enuf!!! u hav full attendance in class..... atleast all guyss......dont worry guyss!!!! i'm not underminin u....
same applies for gals too..... sir's wit charming looks and reasonably good 'vivaram' is al enuf for her..... we had one sir lik tat...... (;-) )....

anyhows this gettin in clas has sort of become a formality..... jus 4 attendance..... jus to pas that brim... after all,watz college life without bunking classes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

excuse me for this.... i cudn't stop myself.....

y'day was seein some film in tv... jus got in a subdued mood after tat....
the story's abt a man losin his wife and another woman losing her husband in an accident.... (most of u mite 've cn it...) ..was jus thinkin of the situation..
how terrible the pain is when some1 u luv the most leaves u alone in tis world and reaches the abode of god!!!! the loss which u incur is quite unbearable...... watever words of comfort u giv, the loss of a life is one huge loss.....yea, u may get used to it as time goes by....but it takes time..... the feelin tat some1 was ther wit u,holding ur hand an walking, and suddenly, ur hands don feel that familiar touch of theirs, is quite painstaking.... sometimes, they mite b the guiding light in ur life..... and the sudden darkness which u c, may cause u 2 stumble down an fall..... watever may happen or watever others may say, no1 can replace them......
but nature's not tat cruel... and the healin power in us makes us forget things slowly and lead a normal routine life... wel, i dont think 'forget' is the right word.... we tend to lock those heavy feelings in us..... keep them aside..... at times, they tend to pop out but as days pass by, the force with which they do it tends to reduce... itz natural..... and no1 can b blamed 4 it....itz the law of nature..... and i don think ny1 has grown to tat level as to defy nature.....
but as it goes,births an deaths r the process of keeping balance in earth... and no1 can prevent tat or change it....

aaah... itz upto u 2 decide the title

people are not like wat we think they'r...... and everything happening around cannot put on the same rosy picture everyday..... ther r those dark moments in everyone's life..... and leading a happy......leave it...life today is not tat much easy..... itz an art which u'r supposed to master... but one thing which is seen is tat itz always survival of the fittest..... ther's absolutely no room 4 emotions like helping out others,keeping the relations alive.. etc etc......ppl have become realy hard hearted..... can go 2 ny extent to have their things done..... wel.. i'm not blamin everyone... i too fall in tat category.....wel, its not anyone's fault either..... ppl r forced to become lik tis.... they c tat they gain absolutely nutin by being an all in all in everything.... and they incur more losses than others....

jus thot of puttin down sumthin...... nyways nuthin's gonna change... so best thin is 2 master the art.... and lead a .......... LIFE.....

boredom paves way for reviews!!!!! ;-)

uff!!!!! i've sitting in front of this screen for te past half an hour typin notin.... starin at it wit a blank face..... jus tat i got an impulse 2 write sumthin but am not gettin any topic 2 write..... but i feel like writing too.....hearing atif's songs now.... he's got a realy wunderful voice.... and al his songs 've wunnerul lyrics too.....
ok fine i'll write a film review....jus my personal opinion......
EKLAVYA-THE ROYAL GUARD......
wel.... try 2 carry a torch light wit u.... coz half of the film's in darkness.... the story begins wit the narration of eklavya's story by none oter tan AMITji in his baritone voice..... if u take the story as a whole, u can finish it in less than 10 min.... but thanx 2 the director, he extended it, filled it up to make it a 2 hr movie.... (thank goodness!!! not more!!!).....
poor sharmila tagore is killed in the first scene itself....(role done easily.....)the title role's done by BIG B himself.... but i personally think he's been wasted in a film lik tis.... and the oly thin tat 'happens' in tis is a no of murders..... the king killin his wife, king's bro killin the king, guard kills the king's bro an son(who originally happens to b his son..... hehe... )... guys u shud realy chek out the last killin.... u can learn to escape frm the clutches of a 'chaakoo' without ny bruises or cut(seriously,i wonder whether i missed out nything!!!!)....
many of the characters 've been wasted to da core.... vidya balan,sanjay dutt,jackie shroff,jimmy shergill.....
on the whole, i wud giv the film a poor rating.....
not much songs...jus one.. an tatz gud.... he started of well.. but towards the end, he jus tried to put in pieces to end the film.....

The Second Chance.........

She was walking down the lane..... 'twas a beautiful autumn evening... Nature was adorned in the best of its attires.... with a soft breeze whispering to the leaves and making them sway away in shyness.....Suddenly frm the distance,she saw someone walking towards her.... she felt an odd kinda similarity in the way the person moved towards her....As he came to the vicinity, her heart skipped a beat.... yeah,itz him, her heart murmured... she was too overcome wit a rush of emotions tat she cudn't decide what to do..... in the meanwhile, he too noticed her and was put in a similar situation.... they stopped short on their tracks..... a rush of thoughts crossed both of them.....
they were the best of friends at college.....but very few knew about this..... he was really smart and outgoing and was at the forefront of anything that was happening .... she too was outgoing and made friends really fast..... they dint know how they became close but as time passed by, they understood each other so well and were together in everything..... be it studies,fun, or any other activity.....but as it goes, everything cant b just the same everyday......
somehow or the other things began to change between them.....knowingly or unknowingly, they began to go far apart.....but they never knew the reason.....he began to avoid her more an more... she asked him the reason many times.... but he just remained silent.... she was heart broken....his behavior towards her changed to tat of a mere classmate.... nuthin more nuthin less....
both of them parted after a simply bye on the last day at college..... went to pursue their life in different ways..... and after these many years, they met each other on this lonely road.... both of them speechless..... then, she smiled at him....the rocks he had built around him shattered to pieces seeing this..... and adorning that same sweet smile, she walked away.... leaving him standing there gazing......they were destined to meet again..... but not destined to be friends again.....

'FRIENDSHIP'S LIKE A CHINA DISH..... ONCE BROKEN,CAN BE MENDED...... BUT THE CRACK STILL REMAINS........'

The night sky

this one i wrote long time back... if i remember precisely, the night before my board exams.... hehe... one of my personal favorites....

The night sky
As the sun descends
After a long tiring day
Darkness is all set
To display her rustic beauty.

A pitch black gown;
With moon as a single bead
And studded with star like jewels
She starts her journey
To fill the whole world
With her peace and serenity.

Her face full of ecstasy and romance
She casts a spell on all her admirers
With eyes full of lust and melancholy
And lips drawn into a small smile
She moves along…
To mesmerize this world
With her beauty, unsurpassed!!

Alas! But for her
Very few take time to admire this angel
In this world,
Where people race to achieve their goals
Such wonders always go unnoticed!

But there is no complain, no reprise,
Nor a drop of tear from those eyes
She continues her journey
In the same nonchalant yet rhythmic manner.

As the sun gets ready, with splendor
To shower the world with his brightness
She quietly paves way for him
And slowly… fades away
Into the world unknown.
