Actually care how many people visit your orkut profile? Get chronic depression if the number doesn't increase by at least a 100 a day? Does your every third sentence contain the word "orkut"? And is thinking up ways to increase profile visitors a serious leisure activity?Then Orkutted's Profile Toplister is probably exactly what you've been looking for. All you have to do is get your profile

The Things That Be

2007-02-05T21:59:00.000+05:30

There are some things that we won’t say and some things that we won’t admit. Like reading in the bathroom. Or licking the ice-cream tub clean. Or telling someone they’re unforgivably dense. I have exams this week through, but I also have the study blues. I’m just letting the blues take over. While deriving the Schröndinger Wave Equation, I got thinking about why the world is so pretentious, if

I saw Guru Monday night. Getting tickets was a nightmare, honestly! I had to set an alarm at midnight, get up, go online and then book tickets for three days later. When my alarm rudely woke me up from the middle of a very deep sleep, I was thinking no movie could be worth doing this. This movie was. Well, not the movie itself but the man who carried the entire story on his shoulders.

Happy, Happy New Year to all of you! :)New year is always a rejuvenation of sorts. Gathering all things undone, words unsaid, promises and resolutions unkept. This day every year, everyone says to themselves, "This year, I'll do it." Sometimes we do it and sometimes we don't. And then there is always the next year. :D To tell you the truth, that's what keeps me going! Phew! :PResolutions, yes. Am

I’m not in love with the experience of popping pills every six hours, sleeping with your face, neck and chest smothered with Vicks. Ugh! Anyway, after all that I’m finally getting better. So yay!

Diwali is over and done. Phew! It's been a long, exhausting, frantic and ultimately super-fun week!! :) I've no idea why, but this Diwali seemed newer and somehow more satisfying than ever before. May be because, last year's diwali was marred by a lot of not-so-nice things.Anyway this year was extra-special because 1. I'm in college. :P 2.

In an expanse of bare land, there stood a beautiful chapel. On entering it, one could feel that every pew and aisle was full of prayer. It was here that a kind priest served. His faith in God and in his fellow beings afforded him that rare kindness, a little of which he had for everyone. One fine day, there came at his doorstep a little orphan boy, poor and hungry. The priest fed and watered him

It feels different. Sort of weird – like I’ve somehow suspended the reality of a few weeks before. Like these next couple of months are just a “phase” and I’ll revert back to the comfort of that reality. It just dawned that it wasn’t to be. Doesn’t seem like I’ve left school. As if I’ll go back to it again someday in June. Reopening day. :) Half-day, new timetable, new class teacher, new benches,

It all began that one fine morning when this little girl refused to eat cornflakes. She blatantly, stubbornly put her tiny foot down. And brat that she was, her poor mommy could do nothing but sigh in exasperation. Don’t be too harsh on the kid though. We didn’t have chocolate flavoured cornflakes then. Just the boring, plain, old cornflakes. :) It so happened that this kid had a cousin.

It's an unseen barrier that's in between that makes things so distant. There are lapses, seemingly significant pauses, thoughts that are best left aside. I didn't choose it to happen this way.

Rang De Basanti - Post Watching

2006-01-31T20:07:00.000+05:30

MIND-BLOWING. An absolutely classic experience. A movie that blends the care-free attitude of Dil Chahta Hai and the periodic feel of mangal pandey and the like. Very artfully done. Narration does stumble a bit...but picks up gradually. And a simply superb climax. Awesome.1. Aamir Khan - Indescribably good. Surpasses his sky-high caliber. More than full marks.2. Siddharth - Proves his mettle.

Addicted. That’s what I am. To what, you ask? I say to things that aren’t worth an addiction to. Such as, you wonder? Those simple, innocuous things that you simply cannot do without. You, of course, think I’m talking about schmaltzy things such as love, music, the birds and insects, the sky and stars et cetera. Not to worry. Nothing wrong with you. That’s just the consequence of my previous

He didn’t understand it. Nor did anyone else. But they couldn’t, he thought with condescension or was it envy masquerading as disdain? This dispassionate passion was tearing him apart like no other. His life fell to ruins as he watched, smiled, thought and devoured the spirit that was she. He felt as if it were a motion film he was watching – his life gradually, naturally blending into a

There he stood, the soft moonlight making ripples of familiarity on his phlegmatic face. His thoughts came down upon him like a shroud, baring their brutal reality against his powerless self. He wanted to reach out. Into the fiery night. Into freedom. Into the blue, blue sea that stretched so endlessly beyond the horizon. Into himself. Into anything. To escape this tortured, masochistic affair he

Looking back, I begin to grasp what these last few months in school mean to me. Looking back, though not wanting to….I realized, with a jolt, that come April, I’d actually be out of school.
