Today's fortune: Your principles mean more to you than any money or success
:D :D :D
What are my principles anyway? Do I really stand by them... as much as I believe that I do... I sometimes wonder whether its just a matter of convenience...
Truth is the hardest thing... or is love the hardest thing??
May be truth in love and the love for truth is the hardest ;)
Mindless ramblings of a mad nomad... I know!!!

New York Minute.... :)
Don't you sometimes see something and wish that you were a part of it... something fun and yet meaningless....
Well this for example is one of the wierdest but coolest thing that I have seen...
Don't believe me??? See it to believe it... :)

The Video
And for those who are interested in seeing the video that I found to be best suitable for the song below... rather maybe the one that I was best able to relate with... then here it is... although you would have seen it already on my profile...
Had gone through many others including the soundtrack version (OST Serendipity) but then this is what I found to be the closest to what I feel... especially the beginning few lines that's written... sometimes I wonder whether it makes me feel any less if it wasn't written/said by me in the first place... but well I can't help it if someone else beat me to it... or may be someone else is out there who feels the same way as I do...
Anyways here's the video... the distance by evan and joran

The Distance - Evan and Joran
The sky has lost its color
The sun has turned to grey
At least thats how it feels to me
Whenever youre away
I crawl up in the corner
To watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time youre cominback
I cant take the distance
I cant the miles
I cant take the time until I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
And Im not ashamed
That with every breath I take Im callinyour name
But I cant take the distance
I still believe my feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe youre close to me
But it aint close enough
Not nearly close enough
I cant take the distance
I cant the miles
I cant take the time until I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
And Im not ashamed
That with every breath I take Im callinyour name
I brave fire and I brave rain
To be by your side Id do anything
I cant take the distance
I will go the distance
I will go the miles
Thats how much you mean to me
cause I cant take the distance
I cant take these miles
I cant take the time until I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
And Im not ashamed
That with every breath I take Im callinyour name
I cant take the distance
Its hard to remember
As long as youre away
When I find solace
Theres only one way
The sun has turned to grey
At least thats how it feels to me
Whenever youre away
I crawl up in the corner
To watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time youre cominback
I cant take the distance
I cant the miles
I cant take the time until I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
And Im not ashamed
That with every breath I take Im callinyour name
But I cant take the distance
I still believe my feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe youre close to me
But it aint close enough
Not nearly close enough
I cant take the distance
I cant the miles
I cant take the time until I next see you smile
I cant take the distance
And Im not ashamed
That with every breath I take Im callinyour name
I brave fire and I brave rain
To be by your side Id do anything
I cant take the distance
I will go the distance
I will go the miles

Daily Quote - Although I have my reservations against it
This is the quote for the day that I received in the mail today...
Happiness is not in our circumstance but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are
~John B. Sheerin~
I dont know... but is it really? I seem to agree and disagree with the author at the same time. Happiness is definitely something that we are.... but at the same time... isnt it also something that we feel... the joy... the excitement...happiness... arent all these feelings?
Will write more on it...unfortunately I need to be elsewhere right now... so better leave

Cyril's Talks....
This is something that my good friend Cyril Towle wrote... what is now almost 4 years ago... he wrote this while hogging on to the system at my place while I completely refused to pay any attention to him... however this is in no way a defense to what he has written below.... I shall not prolong this prologue from whats coming ur way... however I will provide this disclaimer.... forgive the language.. all that I have to say in defense for it is... He is an MA in Literature ;)
Trust me its an interesting read though

The process of knowing some body is one which never does come to an end atleast in ones own lifetime, this of course has been my own observation and i admit in all modesty is susceptible to my inexplicable prejudice nonetheless i realise this is as rampant in others and hence i shall not in a magnanimous manner let go of my chance to decry or rather upbraid my good friend Sandeep for his most uncharacteristic behavior the one he displayed so recently shocking me out of my living daylights. My good reader might by now have perceived the change in my diction and i have done so as to keep my reader in good spirits since none whatsoever would want to be too involved in an academic dissertation, which is true in my case too despite the fact that i am so mercilessly made to read through reams of sepia tinted texts that the university in all its gracious self has decided is for my good, how, is something i shall not ask my self nor press upon the gentle reader to do so.
Reverting back to my initial interest namely my friend i must first admit for the benefit of the reader, that he has time and again proved himself absolutely indispensable and the favors that he has thus heaped on me are disproportional to what i have myself extended in exchange, but even so i have not spared to overlook his not so significant flaws. Like for instance sandeep’s penchant to singing aloud much to my chagrin and that of the others but that is nothing compared to what he does at dinner which being downright boorish i shall not dwell upon for fear of disgusting gentle folks who happen to unfortunately stumble upon this absolutely redundant piece of observation. There are of course other gentle qualities like his competence and generosity. But they never can help outweigh his ever so increasing amount of disturbing whimsicalities and oddities.
Now, this good friend of mine has spent time doing a lot many tasks which have in retrospect proved merely time consuming and invariably taxing on our feeble finances. One such task ofcourse that we never fail to undertake on each of our outings is to provide ourselves with a sumptuous meal. I have often tried to discern the origins of such a suggestion but have failed on more than one occasion. Yet being acquainted with my friend’s gluttony i can safely presume that it begins or rather originates from the very depths of his voluminous belly. The cry being primeval is potent enough to coax me into presiding over the feast and my generous heart quite willingly complies with his constant request. Our company has many a times suffered the calumny of lifeless onlookers. Like once when we holding hands were looked upon as couple with perverse sexual preferences!! But i did not let that disturb my status quo in the least. For they being lowly Indians have always failed to comprehend the genius that drives one away from the mainstream very much like our own Ramar Pillai who went on his furtive search to concoct the so sought after viscous ominous liquid petroleum, giving our IIT’ians a run for their money it is a different matter that they managed to turn the tables on the unsuspecting

Dream on....
Seems like ages ago when I got this... and yet seems like yesterday....
With a sweet note inside...
Still dream of it... more than you would probably ever know... To hold... to touch... to look ahead... from the rising sun... to the setting sun... from the coolness of the rising moon to the setting of the twilight moon.... from the start to the end of a circle :-)

Amazing....
Really dont want to write much about it... watch it.... wonder whether there are many who have such amazing talents....
They really do use it for more things than just one ;-)
They really do use it for more things than just one ;-)
For the time being....
But for the time being... I shall just multi task and write about things that I dont have to give much of a thought...
Just copy from here and there what I found to be nice....
Just copy from here and there what I found to be nice....
So many things to write......
There are so many things that I feel like writing right now... about so many things...
Sitting and chatting right now with my dearest....
I hope that I am able to sit down and write about the things that I want to write later on...
Miss everything... but then again.. even all this is new to me... although it seems like all that I have done ever....
Contrasting isnt it?

On love and its loss or on hope and faith??
A very beautiful song that I have always loved... something that I always used to sing... still do more so...
love the lyrics... the way its been sung... the visuals... everything about it makes me feel good... gives me hope... love it completely....
sometimes I think how silly it is of me.... to believe in it... to think of all this... to be like this... but then again.. I begin to realize... this is like my second skin.. this is the way I am.. this is how I feel.... this is how I love...
does everything that I feel hold no truth... is it just something that I dont realise and understand... are the people around me telling the truth... should I stop believing in myself? Should I stop believing in the one thing that I have always believed in and stood by... my self... my conscience
I wonder where the road leads .... I wonder what role I am to play....
For those who get to read this do listen to it as well....

Advice from a friend....
A thought that I had put on my profile:
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
A response that I got from a good friend of mine:
What would lay within you would only be subjected to you but what lies behind you tells u about the lessons you should learn from life and what lies before you tells u the possibilities to explore which is not only subjected to you but also your near and dear ones who cross their fingers on it... and wish that you should open your eyes and start walking on what lies before u.. as yr future effects us all in a way
stopping and soul searching is an easier option to fight current circumstances
all the best buddy...!!!
Words that demand a lot of thought... thinking has never been a problem for me... its the execution that I seem to fall short of... soul searching.. something that I keep advising everyone.. turns out I should be doing that myself.. not just doing it but taking the next step forward...doing something about it!!!

About Letting Go.... Moving On...
Letting go...
What is it that one is supposed to do wheb they are to let go? What is it that they are to let go? Their feelings? Their emotions? Their dreams? Why?
Moving on...
Now this seems to be another favourite and probably closer to the mark. One needs to move on. But then again, move on from what? Your dreams? The things that you had imagined? From something that had you be the happiest? So if everyone just keeps letting go and keeps moving on then how is it that all great people fulfil their dreams their desires that they have despite all the obstacles they face? I might be no great person but why should I be expected to let go and move on? Move on from something someone that I treasure the most? I cant do that.Much more than anything else I dont want to!!!
