THE BLOG OF (sm)all THINGS.........

He seemed troubled... Having ordered his favourite drink,I finally asked  "something wrong??" no reply... I was with an old friend...having shared the good,bad and the ugly of life through school,we are the types people term  ' chuddy-buddies'  With him finally making the move to pune...I finally had a schoolmate in my adopted city... A smile played on my lips as I remembered the pledge we had taken on the last day of school  "till spouses and careers do us part"... # the irony had made me smile.... Our busy schedules not permitting an earlier meeting,it was a relief when we both finally found time for a meeting one friday evening... However,his rather strange mood was threatening to ruin the whole evening... I knew I had to ask him...doing it the right way seemed the immediate challenge... the drinks arrived and I knew that was the moment... "whats troubling you??"... no reply still "come on...you can tell me"... ...

First things first. ...I'm not a big fan of KOFEE with KARAN.....frankly speaking,I found CHAI with CHARAN (a spoof with CYRUS SAHUKAR doing the funny job ) much more watchable.... However,this episode of KwK caught my attention out of the blue.... Exams were on ....with a practical exam to give the next day,I was all set for a night-out... 12:30 a.m....I was sleepy,yet itching for a break and somewhere I heard a girlish giggle on someone's speakers...sounded familiar...and lo!!...it was PIGGY CHOPS ... well!!!..I could harp for ages as to why I find her so irresistible...but I'll stop with a small ' beauty+witty' tag....and of course,the fact that she reminds me of something... . yeah!!...something,something.... well!!..now the relevant part...if ever you end up having a girl in your life and you are confused about the exact status of your relationship....< 'just-good-friends' type or you really have something working between the two of you......

pre-post ::this is a conversation that took place over a year ago..when a bunch of 'would-be-docs', ( disillusioned at being reminded time and again that they were and still are the ' cream of the nation' even when they believed the cream(read,gals)had been delivered elsewhere),had gathered over a round of some malt based drinks and ' triple-filtered-clear fluid from Russia' ;) the author vividly remembers his friends shooting one gem after the other and breaking into peals of laughter which could have sent a chill down the spine of the coldest of vampires.... (the author stumbled upon it while trying to clear his inbox of some old time clutter) with exams on and no time to actually post something substantial,hope this one provides u with some 'cheap humour'(all puns intended) ..... caution :-this post isn't supposed to make sense....so if you are of the rational,thinking variety....try something else on the blog....and if it does make sen...

'Serendipity' -I remember it as a definition I learnt in 11th,viz, 'a good discovery made by chance' ... a movie by the same name made me realize even love could have a touch of serendipity....and of course , the wiki definition .... Having lost count of the number of times  serendipity has rubbed him the right way,the author's decided to dedicate this post to this very phenomenon which touches each of our lives but still goes unnoticed rarely getting its due,ie,an acknowledgement.... But for serendipity,this blog, which incidentally has been one of the best things  to have happened to me ever, would never have existed.... So,on the first anniversary   (I'm late by a good 10 days, sigh )of THE BLOG OF (SM)ALL THINGS ,sit back and enjoy (hopefully) the story of its creation (if you can call it one) ... Caution -it ain't no Zuckerburg-facebook story if you are expecting one....:D After that rather lame attempt at humour,here we go...... April,2010 ha...

It was one  in the morning when his phone beeped...it was a message... Back after a long day at college,he had been to bed early,only to be disturbed at that odd hour.... The name onscreen evoked mixed reactions... It was 'her'.... Surprised at the timing of the message and happy at the prospect of finally being remembered,he pressed the 'read' button... It had been almost a year since they first met...at a college fest.... Some hard-fought Debates had seen him take everything on offer..including her heart,or so he felt...the lady finishing second best everytime... "you come to every event and win everything " her tone hinted at complaint,her flirty smile suggesting otherwise.. " what to do??..its a habit with me..I WAS BORN TO WIN  " his answer had an air of nonchalance...and why not??...he had the results to back that... Cheeky and witty,that answer had led to loud cheering from his friends and an appreciative smile from the ladies... M...

we all have someone in our lives who can elicit that elusive smile which seems gone forever in times of despair... There aren't many in mine but the ones present are absolute sweethearts,of that I'm assured... the above pic  has two proofs....my 7 year old twin cousins-Dimpy and Monty.... my fb status update dated 5th jan,2010- 'Damn u discovery..damn u animal planet...courtesy u two,my 7 yr old niece thinks i'm a 'crocodile' jst bcoz I laze around in the sun...nd the naughty girl that she is,she's christened me 'croco bhaiyya' ..nd guess wat??..I'm lovin every bit f it ;)....

“ All our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope... all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect... who might be searching for us.” -- The Wonder Years "Medicine can suck u dry at times....its been books,books and more books since the past month or so....however,with the stress levels under control its been smooth sailing so far.....2 more 2 go and i'll be the 'free bird' that I always was....and there's something i've realised :the biggest of problems can be tackled,when there are others in the same boat as you..

Family gatherings are joyous occasions without exception…… From the aunt who exclaims “arrey!!..kitna bada ho gaya mera raja beta” everytime she see’s you ( growing up is normal…ain’t it??…where’s the surprise??) to your young cousins who are almost always in awe of ‘ bhaiyya/didi’ ( I tell you;that feeling of having an elder cousin is one warm feeling to cherish) and of course,delicious food & gossip sessions lasting till late in the night,they all lend it a feel which makes you go nostalgic everytime you think of those times... Imagine being made to study in such times… torturous ,if I were to say in a word… Back home for a quick vacation this summer,I was at my maternal aunt’s place….my parents were there,as were my other maternal aunts & uncles along with my cousins……perfect settings for fun & frolic…. My 7 year old cousin Dimpy wasn’t too happy though…..with a test to give the next day,she had been made to sit with her books….. my dad :"arrey dimpy bete...

                                                                    The evening was lovely.... her presence  across the candle-lit table coupled with the moon peeping through the clouds made it look even lovelier... Her eyes strayed and her lips picked up a smile...clearly,she had seen something interesting... A much-in-love couple swaying to some light music was her object of interest... Having sensed her next move,he twisted uneasily in his seat... he even considered using the loo as an excuse but she acted quicker than he thought.... "would you like to dance?" her big expressive eyes seemed to ask more than just the question.. "...

                                                                 (1) " goodbye sweetheart!see you soon "she had said.Thinking of the future that was to come,a smile played on his lips as he looked at her fading silhouette..                                                                 (2) "my promise ...it..it remains unfulfilled..good...bye...sweetheart "she...

Bruised,battered here i lay; Wish i had something i could say. Never ever did i feel so low, Couldn't even ask you,why did you go?? Was it your smile or was it mine?? neither of us knew it had begun something very fine. Never did i know it would haunt me forever, Every memory,every recollection would make me suffer. Smiling,which i once thought was the easiest thing to do. To my dismay,i discover it can be tough too. Humour,which seemed omnipresent once,is gone too. Now the light has dawned,they were all because of you. Now that you are gone,i look back and wonder A beautiful distraction;"was it you who made me flounder"?? "no!!it can't be you"cries out my heart, still confused as to why you chose to part. A lesson learnt;some fingers burnt, I still sit back and hope. I wait for a miracle long overdue; Memories of love;nothing but a distant hue.....
