The Last few lines of "Hellboy (2004)"...
"What makes a man a man... a friend of mine once wondered...
is it his origins the way he comes to life...
I don't think so...
It's the Choices he makes...
not how he starts things...
but how he decides to end them."
Hmmmm... I am not sure what to make out of it... still doesn't say where I need to walk towards... not about being a man...
But more about the choices... the heart says one thing and well.... no the mind doesn't say the other.. but it sure puts questions in one's head.

A Blip I am once again :D
Hmmm...... I am now finally once again a blip in the world wide web... alright that prob dint make much sense... basically I now have internet once again... now that once again would raise a question of obviously... 'what do u mean once again?'

Another Day... Another Time
No... this is not related to what I had written earlier... but this has to do with some gates being closed temporarily a few months ago
I have booked my GMAT date. Yeah, for those who were not aware (are there any really???), I am giving my Gmat again. The Date is 12th Oct 2008, 1345hrs.
Have this mixed feeling going on in my head, not only a feeling of fear, worry, anxiety, trepidation, but also excitement, hope, belief, faith, confidence.
By 1800hrs on that day... I hope to be a happily ecstatic man and come out of the center smiling with having taken many a steps closer to an ambition that I've had since long.
Wish me luck guys... for every dream is achieved by taking one step forward, however related or unrelated, but its the step forward that counts :)
Here's to fulfillment of dreams :D
Here's to the Class of 2009... the way I always used to understand it to be :D

St John Chrysostom said
“Those whom we love and lose are no longer where they were. They are now wherever we are.”
To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

Ask Calvin's Dad - hehehehe - Nice one :)
Stolen from someone who stole them from Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson.
Illustrating the value of a good explanation in science education!
Calvin: Why does the sun set?
Dad: It’s because hot air rises. The sun’s hot in the middle of the day, so it rises high in the sky. In the evening then, it cools down and sets.
Calvin: Why does it go from east to west?
Dad: Solar wind.
Calvin: Why does the sky turn red as the sun sets?
Dad: That’s all the oxygen in the atmosphere catching fire.
Calvin: Where does the sun go when it sets?
Dad: The sun sets in the west. In Arizona actually, near Flagstaff. That’s why the rocks there are so red.
Calvin: Don’t the people get burned up?
Dad: No, the sun goes out as it sets. That’s why it’s dark at night.
Calvin: Doesn’t the sun crush the whole state as it lands?
Dad: Ha ha, of course not. Hold a quarter up. See, the sun’s just about the same size.
Calvin: I thought I read that the sun was really big.
Dad: You can’t believe everything you read, I’m afraid.
Calvin: How come old photographs are always black and white? Didn’t they have color film back then?
Dad: Sure they did. In fact, those old photographs are in color. It’s just that the world was black and white then. The world didn’t turn color until sometime in the 1930s, and it was pretty grainy color for a while, too.
Calvin: But then why are old paintings in color?! If the world was black and white, wouldn’t artists have painted it that way?
Dad: Not necessarily. A lot of great artists were insane.
Calvin: But… But how could they have painted in color anyway? Wouldn’t their paints have been shades of gray back then?
Dad: Of course, but they turned colors like everything else did in the ’30s.
Calvin: So why didn’t old black and white photos turn color too?
Dad: Because they were color pictures of black and white, remember?
Calvin: Dad, will you explain the theory of relativity to me? I don’t understand why time goes slower at great speed.
Dad: It’s because you keep changing time zones. See, if you fly to California, you gain three hours on a five-hour flight, right? So if you go at the speed of light, you gain more time, because it doesn’t take as long to get there. Of course, the theory of relativity only works if you’re going west.
Calvin: Why do my eyes shut when I sneeze?
Dad: If your lids weren’t closed, the force of the explosion would blow your eyeballs out and stretch the optic nerve, so your eyes would flop around and you’d have to point them with your hands to see anything.
Calvin: How do bank machines work?
Dad: Well, let’s say you want 25 dollars. You punch in the amount and behind the machine there’s a guy with a printing press who makes the money and sticks it out this slot.
Calvin: Sort of like the guy who lives up in our garage and opens the door?
Dad: Exactly.
Calvin: What causes the wind?
Dad: Trees sneezing.
Calvin: Why does ice float?
Dad: Because it’s cold. Ice wants to get warm, so it goes to the top of liquids to be nearer to the sun.
Calvin: Is that true?
Dad: Look it up and find out.
Calvin: I should just look up stuff in the first place.
Calvin: How come you know so much?
Dad: It’s all in the book you get when you become a father.

Hmmm.... or is that Awwww :D
It's been long since I have posted something as many have pointed out to me (alright not many... but atleast a couple of them) :D :D
Anyway, this is not exactly a post that would meet their expectations but then well... couldnt help but post it here... not really sure why though :P
Here's a video that I came across by accident...
The tag to this video was that it was the Best Marriage proposal ever... but then I am sure it being a home video the views are but obvious :)
I wouldnt call it the best proposal... I myself have a few ideas of my own ;) but that's not the point... it most certainly must have been such a nice experience making all the arrangements and the after-effects... all making it an "aaawwwww" moment :D
It's a really nice video for what it's worth in my opinion... a bit lame towards the end but then who Am I to be saying that.. right?
Enjoy :)

Wat Can I Say....
Love is always patient and kind,
It is never jealous.
Love is never boastful nor conceited.
It is never rude or selfish,
It does not take offense and is not resentful.
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins, delights and the truth
It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.
- From "A Walk to Remember"

Untitled.... :)
Something that I found on youtube... actually no... another blog... but well it deserves every bit of space tht it takes up here... and I am only happy to put it up here...
Do Watch it... its short... but speaks volumes...
How tired i am of this unbearable distance between us
How i long for the toll of the recess bell
Have u forgotten me; grown mindless of me?
Tell me i am not writing into an abyss
Or that is what will become of my heart.....

My Ride's come to town :D
On a Friday afternoon, despite the long hours of waiting under the hot sun... walking here and there on the platforms in search of him... feelings of disappointment creeping up when he wasn't to be seen anywhere.... blank responses from the officials around... with vague remarks to continue the search elsewhere... I began once more in the search as advised elsewhere... However, it was then that I noticed him being brought out with the help of two men, slowly lowered to the ground and it was then that I truly saw the majestic entrance that he made :P
It was with a smile that I welcomed him, with joy that I ran along to these officials to get everythin in order now that he was in plain sight, within reach... just a few more minutes to pass by before we were together once more :D
However, our joining wasn't meant to be so easy I guess, lunch time had somehow loomed over our getting back together, the officials had to have their lunch followed by a queue for others who were there for materialistic things. Despite all this, when the goal is in sight, when victory seems not far away, the heat, the pain, the hunger all seem to dwindle away and there is a sense of calm, a smile that pulls u along and that is how it was for me. With all the formalities done, there I was finally together with my ride :) :D :D
This joy is something that can only be felt and not told. My Ride's come to town, returned to where it belongs, on the road with me :)
(Heehehehe... funny post aint it... but absolutely enjoyed writing it actually ;) )

A Thousand splendid suns - Khaled Hosseini
" One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs,
Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls. "
Don't know why but I just had to post it here... this is an extract from the email to my friend from whom I borrowed this book. Was intending to read "The Kite Runner" first but was told that this was better (a personal choice of this friend) and was steadfastly given it even before the other :)
Well I do not blame it, I got to read a good book and now I am only looking forward to reading the Kite runner so I believe this book has done its job and stands by its appreciation.
~Quote:
" I finished a thousand splendid suns... amazing book... simply too good. well written, depicts a very true and nice picture amidst all the pain and demolitions... as u said it almost makes u feel as if u were there.... its made me feel good about people.... restored my faith and respect for the afghans.... (nahi seriously) i was sick abt the fact tht they had destroyed so many things and i am not talkin abt just buildings but sacred artefact's, the statues (the most!) .... but i forgot tht just as many of us feel abt it... surely there are their own people who detest it... all tht happened. might sound silly but well it sure makes me feel good... and last but not the least... gives u the strength to believe in faith and having hope. despite whatever there is always light at the end of the road. it might not be the same picture tht u had in ur mind but surely gives u a chance at painting it the way u want... build it towards the way u see it :)
thanks for the book.... honestly... i loved it.... to mariam & laila... inshallah! "
hehehe.... seems to be a bit funny the way i wrote it... not exactly a book review... not entirely how i feel abt the book.... but certainly the way it came out from my mind and onto the keybboards... so not gonna make any changes... am sure i could do a better job at it... but i am gonna let it be. thanks for the book :)
~Unquote
Well.... as I said, not exactly a review...rather not a review but how I felt after reading the book. To those who are reading this post... get a hold of this one... you certainly will not regret it.

The Video....
Here's the video to Green Day's :Boulevard of Broken Dreams" Just to continue on my last to last post :D
Sunday, June 29, 2008
Hmmmm
I read this from another blog that I follow every now and then... found it to be an interesting read... not that I agree with it completely... but does give one food for thought...
I dont know why... but well here is the post that I am talking about
I dont know why... but well here is the post that I am talking about
I Walk Alone.... Boulevard of Broken Dreams
A couple of weeks earlier... after returning my friends sister's scooter (An Activa actually but some stubbornly prefer calling it a scooty) at mehrauli....
I decided to walk back... I had no destination in my mind... Just music in my ears... words in my mouth... thoughts in my mind to give me company along that walk.
The walk started from the interiors of mehrauli... the smallest of bylanes that one can imagine... through shops... with people sitting around on the steps... peeping through their balconies.... some walking past to get to their homes... some walking by aimlessly with their friends... having a good time... and in midst of all this there I was... walking past with a song in my lips... and a tempest of thoughts and emotions... varying from every song that was being played... relating each and every one of them to some thought or the other... always putting two and two together and getting five... despite knowing that the answer should be 4... but how else would I be able to explain why they were not fitting... why things were not in its place...
Well anyways I kept walking... from thinking to the next bus stop to the next... kept walking like this till I had reached almost IIT... this was late in the night at 10... I was supposed to go to my friends place to pick up his bike... just dint feel like stopping... wanted to keep walking... but some sense got to me finally.. it was too late... and would have been indecent of me to barge into a home late in the night to take a bike that too for my own cause... too much to ask even if the friend would have understood... (funnily he realised without my saying so that I had been walking a long distance)
Well anyways that was the first part of the walk... a good 7-8 kms... dint realise how time went by...
Moving on to a few days back... took the bike and ripped across gurgaon to delhi... just to meet a couple of friends... in the night... there was nothing else remotely motivating on the offer.. not even a couple of drinks ;) ... yet I decided to go for it... it had been quite sometime since I had met them... so I ripped across town... met them at priyas... from there went with them in their car leaving the bike in the parking to pandara road for some dinner... time 1230am... post dinner me and my friend decided to walk back home... so that the other two friends could go back without any more trouble since one of them had a migraine... and had to go all the way to mayurvihar... another corner of delhi... I had no problem in making up my mind for the walk... surprising to be honest... wasnt sure that my friend would make it though.. but anyways we decided to go ahead... convinced our friends to leave without us... the time 0215am....
so there we were a couple of crazy guys one holding on to his helmet... walking in the middle of the night with no idea of the roads... but just decided to go back walking home...
The two of us were surprisingly silent on the walk back home... with the occasional banter of how our legs were feeling and yet felt we could keep going on... the random songs tht we sang... and from my end to be honest.. the occasional 'whats going on in ur mind' to escape from being questioned the same... just to show that I am very much present there physically as well as mentally. Well anyways, we reached AIIMS soon enough after making a slight halt at safdarjung flyover to enjoy the view... sadly it wasnt to be with all the construction going on... yet we stopped for a couple of minutes...and walked on...the time 0400am. We got there in good time actually considering tht we had decided in our minds tht it wouldnt be a surprise if we made it only by 0600am :)
I dont know why I wrote all of this... I remember I had this song in my mind before I started putting all the above onto paper... my walk from mehrauli...
Silly isnt it? Well... I remember humming to the song too while I was walking :D
"I Walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Dont know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a..."
Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day
Anyways... to finish the incomplete post above... decided to take an auto as I had to get back to gurgaon... so went till priya's got a decent rate even @ tht time of the night (I wonder how tho) picked up the bike which neither one of us were counting on to be there (considering tht we had no papers on the bike... all lost... its his bike btw) dropped my friend back home... had a smoke half heartedly... but then neither felt like it so threw it away... and I rode back enjoying the beautif ul sky and the wind in my face.... in no hurry... glad abt tht too... coz funnily when I did make it home... I was stranded outside the house with no keys... as my friend was gallavanting himself somewhere in Delhi (For all tht walking tht we did, we had a guy who cud have easily picked us up...)
Well sat on the bike outside the house... under the black sky just the moon for my company :)

The Reason..
A Beautiful song... by Hoobastank.... the reason... dont knw wat to write... have so many things going on in the mind... too difficult to put them down on pen n paper...
Here's the video along with the lyrics...
The Reason - Hoobastank
I'm not a perfect person, As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning, I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go, That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me, To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new, and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you, It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through, I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears, Thats why i need you to hear
I've found a resaon for me, To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new, and the reason is You [x4]
I'm not a perfect person, I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go, That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me, To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new, and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show, A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do, And the reason is you

The Notebook
This is how the movie begins.... something thats being said in the background...
"I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough. "
I must give credit to JD, thats from whom I first read these lines... fell in love with it then... got the movie and saw it recently... worth all the trouble I guess... It was Lovely
The letter that Noah writes to Allie:
"My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah"
The arguement that they have...
"Young Noah: Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
Young Allie: So what?
Young Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out."
The easy way out... how does one recognize whether or not its the easy way out? How does one figure out whether it is actually what one wants?
I dont knw... I just have these simple beliefs... yet they are the hardest to follow... probably thats why I believe more in them... A little bit of hope... the rest are all just prayers... this way or that :)

"My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah"
The arguement that they have...
"Young Noah: Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
Young Allie: So what?
Young Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out."
The easy way out... how does one recognize whether or not its the easy way out? How does one figure out whether it is actually what one wants?
I dont knw... I just have these simple beliefs... yet they are the hardest to follow... probably thats why I believe more in them... A little bit of hope... the rest are all just prayers... this way or that :)
an earthbound misfit....
above the planet on a wing and a prayer
my grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
across the clouds I see my shadow fly
out of the corner of my watering eye
a dream unthreatened by the morning light
could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
there's no sensation to compare with this
suspended animation, a state of bliss
can't keep my mind from the circling sky
tongue-tied & twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Yet another movie
One sound, one single sound
one kiss, one single kiss,
a face outside the window pane,
however did it come to this?
A man who ran: a child who cried
a girl who heard, a voice that lied
the sun that burned a fiery red
the vision of an empty bed
The use of forge, he was so tough
she'll soon submit, she's had enough
the march of fate, the broken will
someone is lying very still
He has laughed and he has cried
he has fought and he has died
he's just the same as all the rest,
he's not the worst, he's not the best
And still this ceaseless murmuring,
the babbling that I brook,
the seas of faces, eyes upraised
the empty screen, the vacant look
A man in black on a snow white horse,
a pointless life has run it's course,
the red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
as he fades into the setting sun
one kiss, one single kiss,
a face outside the window pane,
however did it come to this?
