I am overwhelmed!

Hi all...
Am just back from the last party of the day (haven't counted the total number yet!) and attended my last call for the wishes (Well they're uncountable!). Feeling too tired, can't stand on my feet for more than 10 seconds, headache going to and fro like a pendulum in my head but I still can't afford to miss the chance to express whats running through my mind besides the oscillating pendulum!!
After celebrating four blasting birthdays in the hostel, I was sure am gonna miss my hostel today but surprisingly it didn't really happen! Or may be I was too occupied to think of my past parties. The day was overflowing with things I have always adored - flowers, stuff toys, temptations, chocolate cakes and parties. After all, am just another girl! Compared to my previous years, I wasn't much excited for my day this year and had too normal an attitude towards it. But well, I have some awesome people around me who always make sure that its not even that normal. It may be a small gesture at their part but then its not only just a gesture to me! It was only friends till now who used to make my day, semester exams at the end of the year never allowed family to be a part of it, but am so glad there were both this time! And the way it turned out was outta my expectation's domain. But then I feel, unexpected things are far better than those which are expected.. right?
All I wanna say is that you guys RoCk big time yaar!! Mmuaah!
CHEERS to all you amazing people!!
At last.. Happy Birthday to Me :)
So where's the party Tonight? (Cummon, its new year eve yaar!!) ;)

Flawless.. if something can be!

This is with reference to the movie Ghajini. Perhaps the most talked about and most awaited movie of the year 2008. You must have gone through the feeling when there is lots that is being expected outta you. The feeling is of uneasiness, sometimes disturbing, making you lose concentration and yeilding many what-ifs running through the mind's aisle! But the deed is to live up to the expectations despite the pressure. Similar is what I felt for Aamir when I saw the movie today. Amidst the expectations, the guy has delivered an immaculate performance and has hit the screen with a big bang! Two kinda roles have been show cased in the movie, and its difficult to judge which one of the two enjoyed more justice. After his great piece - Taare Zameen Par, one could portray him in a similar frame of looks in Ghajini but the lad knew how to bring out the difference. Feels really great to witness someone loaded with this great amount of talent. Kudos to The Ace khan - Aamir Khan!

Cold cold winters...

Hardly two or three minutes back when I took the first sip of my tomato soup, I realized that to whichever season it may be compared to, winter season remains unsurpassed among all! And this very feeling made me jump into my blanket and start tapping my fingers on the keyboard to compose this post while sipping away the hot soup.
I guess I love every little or big aspect of this beautiful season. The woolen jackets and fur over coats, rubbing off hands to produce any possible amount of heat, noses turning red, shiver down the spine, freezing carbon dioxide coming out of the mouth (..gawd I love it!!), basking in the sun, the intense fog making you feel as if the clouds have climbed down to earth, watching people and vehicles moving in and out of these clouds, getting all the more lethargic, sweet corn soup, hot coffee or hot choco which seem to taste better than ever before, sitting besides fireplace, reading a novel and realizing its more interesting than you'd heard or thought, raisins, chilled ice creams (I bet no winter memory is complete without ice creams!!) and so much more! I absolutely love visiting hill stations specially those with ample of snow covered roads and surroundings. No wonder I cherish my Rohtang pass tour more than any other I have been to. Snowfall, though still a part of my fantasies, is the bestest (if there exists such a word!!) part of the winters! Well I guess that suggests I must plan for Simla within coming few weeks.. whatsay folks!! he he..!
Very lately when I was in Delhi hanging out with friends, I lived one of the most splendid winter evenings of my life. At the exit gate of the metro station, while on our way to a friend's pg, it occurred to one of us the idea to go for cycling. Thanks to Delhi metros which leave you as refreshing at the destination station as you were at the source, despite the heavy traffic on the city roads. So there we were, all four gals ready to hit the road with our selected cycles. I must appreciate my confidence then as I was going to ride a bicycle after almost 10 years. Whatever! Who cares! We started off and there was no stopping then. Paddling to the full force, honking unnecessarily, outlining all possible geometrical figures with special emphasis on curves, then resting the paddles to let the cycle move on its own, playing with the handle and experiencing the chilling breeze across the face and to add the perfect bollywood touch, singing in chorus "awara bhawre jo haule haule gaaye..". To the people walking in the lanes, two kinds of impressions of ours might have occurred. Either of those too small kids who have recently learned riding a bicycle or of those too big to care for the world around them. We belonged to the second category. Atleast from what we felt at that time. After a long ride, we rested to have momos and were on the way back with the same spirits! If I could describe the experience, the feeling in a single word, I'd say it was heavenly, a blend of perfect timing, perfect climate and the very perfect companions!Cheers gurlz! ;)
At times (may be more than that!), I really enjoy sitting in the balcony late at nights, feeling the cold, listening to the rustling of leaves and tuning to my favorite music. Nothing seems to matter at that time. Life seems to come to a halt at those moments but they are something that are capable enough to move me...

Are current situations a sign of World War III??

It may be too early, may be insane on my part too, to predict or rather even think of such a malicious notion but one really can't suppress one's thoughts! I'd been thinking, rather the thought of another world war itself had been dwelling and growing within me since the Mumbai massacre took place. At that time, I considered myself absurd for thinking too extreme and beyond limits. But in these 20 days that have gone by post the black day, situations have only worsened, seemingly in the direction of my raw feeling. What does a war needs as its preliminary atmosphere? Tensions among countries, increase in anti-social activities, lack of security everywhere, avenging feelings among people, availability of large amount of deadly weapons and ammunition! And with all these, we have the economic recession too. World War II too commenced with one such recession after all, with the very famous The Great Depression of the year 1929, the fall of US economy!
Now when after all this if I try and think of possible measure to avoid any possiblity of it, I end up in the middle of no where! Violent reactions to the situations would not deter it and being patient and numb will be an injustice to all the sufferers of 26/11 and with them, to every Indian.
I only hope that the protecters of terrorsim realize that terrorism is not even going to spare them. And that they realize this before things go out of everyone's control and help the world combat with the evil in every possible way they can!
May God bless all!
