little nothings...

S has what A wants and A has what S wants. They are stuck with what they have and being the best of friends, they cannot exchange what they have to make each other happy. All they can do is laugh at what they have, what they want and what they cannot do. Someone said, when life gives you a lemon, make lemonade. They also said, when life gives you a lemon , look for someone who has vodka and enjoy the party!! Life gave S and A the lemon and vodka, but, is not letting them enjoy neither the the lemonade nor the party, cos they dont have the knife to slice the lemon. Such are the ironies of Life! Can anyone donate a knife , please!! We will give you some lemonade or vodka!

Nothing is permanent in life. Love, friendship, bullshit..everything fades with time. We build relations, make friendships, talk about being true friends, standing through thick and thin, offering a shoulder to cry and blah blah..all are compromises made to satisfy just one entity; The EGO. Once it is offended, love, affection, warmth, genuineness and all good things will cease to exist. Trust cant stand up against it either. Such is the ability of the EGO..it leaves an irreparable crack that makes you doubt everything. If only, grad school and life could teach us how to overpower it than meekly surrendering to that moment of self pride.. Tonight, as i sit sleepless, staring at the dark sky, another beautiful chapter in my life comes to an end. Its a different thing that the ending is not as beautiful as the beginning, but like always, I am happy I got to learn, accept and move with the vicissitudes of life!!

Long long ago, a very successful and wealthy business man, Dhanraj Patil was blessed with a baby boy. He decides to name his heir Pinku Patil. Pinku was a nice bonny little kid who was intrigued by the smallest and minutest enigmas of life. Pinku was fascinated by EVERYTHING, especially ping pong balls. The first time he came across a ping pong ball was when Dhanraj left his tennis raquet and ping  pong ball after a tiresome four hour game with his friend, Yuvraj Kapoor. So, Dhanraj Patil gets Pinku a ping pong ball for Pinku's fourth birthday and so began Pinku's rendevous with Ping Pong balls. After a year, Dhanraj: Beta, aapke janam din ke shubh sandarb pe aapko kya chahiye. (Son, what do you want for your birthday gift?) Pinku: Pithaji, mujhe ek ping pong ball chahiye (Daddy, I want a ping-pong ball.) Dhanraj is surprised at Pinku's wish. Year after year, for every birthday, Pinku asks his Pithaji for ping pong balls. Pinku finishes school and is the state topper. When...

This is no beauty pageant and I k'no'w we are no models, but would just love to know what can be changed to make this world a better place. "If you got a chance to change something in the world, what would it be?" lack of compassion?? tolerance?? poverty?? sham?? crime?? pretense?? corruption? greed?? disease?? suffering?? pain?? hatred?? though each new year starts with a hope of ringing out all the above and more.. each day begins with an eagerness to welcome all things good and kind.. and doesn't end without witnessing war, murder, female abuse in several form.. nevertheless, the fervent hope doesn't wither and the wish doesn't tether.. cuz tomorrow is another bright day..

This thing called "Life!!" is quite an interesting entity...our affair started years ago and my fascination for Life" is still intact. Life doesn't cease to surprise me; I discover something new about Life everyday. Life made me laugh, made me cry.. gave me moments to cherish and incidents that I don't want to look back to..Life had taught me to smile through tough times and showed me the guardian angels who stood by me; through thick and thin and held my hand through rain and shine.. Sometimes Life gave me questions and asked me to figure out my answers. I found few, trying to find more, and some, Life answered when Life wanted to. Sometimes Life let me down;so much that I hated Life and dint want Life. But, at the next possible opportunity, Life made it up for the let down. Believe me, Life gave me every reason to smile back. Life and I share a relationship that is beyond words and paragraphs. Yet again, Life has given me two best options tormenting ...
