used to understand how...but i have begun to realise all these different things now... equally true is this...sometimes unsaid things can seem harsher than the harshest words spat out by someone....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after all people learn from experiences...such is what life...that over the years when one grows old...one picks up thorns and petals along the way and thus get moulded...our life is always teaching or telling us things...but we do not begin to hear it till we have almost lived a third of our life...an average human being lives upto the age of mid 70...so I would say we are almost in our early 20's before we start realising things...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One can't be blamed for this though...I mean who would bother to think about serious things like future career and what life holds for us..and the likes of where would he/she end up working or marrying when there are more important things like making fun of the loosers around...and mimicing teachers and buking class..and whispering in groups about one's latest crush...this is what took up most of our time in high school...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;indian parents as everyone knows...nevertheless try and talk sense into kids...so did my parents....."don't waste time"..."have you done your homework?".."look at how neat and pretty your friend's handwriting is! why are you so messy?"  and the likes of it...and trust me it used to drive me nuts..all this comaprison..and being told I am not doing well enough...I never turned out to be the nerdy type who would make sure everythign is done and worked out in time...I have been a procrastinator all my life...which is something I still try to fight...I have always crammed a week before exams..and touchwood...haven't done bad either...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway...I happened to talk to M a while back and our conversation was rather impersonal conversation....while it go time thinking...I am glad it was the way it was....this particular person used to be one of my best buds at a point of time....so close were we...it was like...if one was seen without the other people would ask Y...and we could read each others minds...but like always....it was short lived....turned out it was an act....it was so ackward....when i went home last year...meeting up and pretending like things were as perfect as always...when I could and im sure M could too feel  what was going on at the back of my mind...I wasn't surprised to notice a while back...snaps of M and a nother person...posing....and this was the very person who was a subject of hatred even half a year back...who cares...I told myself....whats done is done..and can't do nething about it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there was this other person R who again I used to be inseperable with sometime in high school....and now we don't talk anymore...strange aye....how you can be sooo close to a person at some time and the next moment he/she could be the last person on earth you would want to bump into....when I picture our times together...it does bring a faint smile on my face...just remembering all the mischeives we had been upto...used to be teacher's pet inspite of all...we didn't get in touch when I was in india last year...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had spent a significant bit of time trying to be someone I wasn't deep down....constantly striving to be somebody you are not can be hard....I stopped once i realised that it doesn't really make a difference....people will come to you if they like you for who you are...irrespective of whether you are/ are not the best friend they can have...don't feel the need to please people and keep then happy so they don't leave you alone...that woudn't really count for true liking would it...coz those who like you would take you for who you are...good or bad...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway...rather have a few really good friends you can depend on than a million of which most would disaapear at the slightest touch of complication...Im happy now....Masks don't stay for too long....Face is the reflection of the characteristics a being-its so true!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

back yet again...a friday night....the good weekend mood kicking in...:)my day was quite good...went to work in the morning...and got bored there as usual...at least my language skills improving....one good thing!! Was dying of hunger because i had skipped breakfast not knowingly ...but I somehow just forgot to eat before I left home....!!!had a filing tandoori chicken sandwich...with loads of lettuce and capsicum and tomatoes and mushrooms in it....but paid $7.50 for it...so not worth 7.50!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its as cold as ever still in my world its like in the narnia series..100 years of winter kindof concept...its so friggin cold....I'm unable to handle it:(....I'm lazy to begin with and weather is doing nothing to help...rather making things worse....anyway...during one of my breaks was goin through this article in in todays SMH...&lt;br /&gt;Coping with cold is child's play for some, agony for others....&lt;br /&gt;WHY does winter affect people differently? Why can some people happily survive in shorts while others freeze in coats?..thats how it starts offf.....people who are obese or FAT and muscle-y people have  a natural INSULATION..but what about peoplelike us :(...apparently our brain can be tricked into thinking the body is overheating if we eat spicy/hot food which triggers some temperature receptor inpulses...and the brain then thinks its actually not that cold...but i don't even eat that much hot food...:(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway...I have had a growing interest in puzzles...sudoku and word jumbles and crosswords since a while...not to forget my all time addiction to the dictionary game...today was one of "being impulsive" days....felt an intense desire to solve some of that...and so I left work at 5pm...went straight to a book store and bought myself sudoku book, a new york times crossword collection flipbook...and the highlight of my buy is a masterpiece by my "favi-avourite" author...crime and punishment by fyodor dostoevsky....what a great buy it is only $12...yooohoooo!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;while at the book store I also happened to come across the actual book...The 48 Laws of Power is a 1998 book by Robert Greene....i made a reference to one of the laws in a previous post...anyway....another of my current interests these days is playing chess...and this game of marbles..that i used to play as a kid...I had gone to the mountain last december...and happened to find it at an woodart store...the board is made of nice laquered dark wood and the set of marbles i have is green with swirling cloudy patterns inside them....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tend to digress from what i say too  often...neway...I love losing myself in book stores...its like im teleported to another world where its only me and the millions of books neatly arranged on shelves around me...and while walking around leafing through pages of random books...up and down a million aisles...happen to glide past other silent book lovers.....I always have wished...If I am rich someday..I want to have a big room in my dwelling, just as a library...the four walls would be made of expensive lacquered dark wood shelves...and will be home to all the books that I buy...and whenever I am tired and need to take some rest...I'll just slip into that room...and lose myselt in this fantasy world....and forget all my worries for a while...and be blissfully happy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;each time i enter a book store I get this overwhelming urge to buy all the books i lay my eyes on...books are so expensive these days..ever more so here than back home....its like I can never stop comparing prices and my old habbit of converting into home currency and telling myself what a RIppoFF!!!boy oH! boy!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spent quiet a bit of time reading reviews about the dark knight and so far they have added to my excitement...I'm going to watch it tomorrow night...It seems like this flick will be the moivie of this year...ledgers best ever performance some say...now I have stuff to do...so we part here....ta da...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='html'>yet another late nite post...happened to have a conversation with a friend...one of those touchy ones...abt people using people...and just bothering to keep touch when in need...actually more for personal selfish reasons...&lt;br /&gt;and the likes of it...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;neway that struck a familiar chord....one of those been there....seen it moments....just happened to remember this forward mail a friend had sent me...its called "the 48 laws of power"...one of them says &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never put too Much Trust in Friends, Learn how to use Enemies &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be wary of friends-they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy.  They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove.  In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies.  If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have learnt it the hard way tooo....It hurts as hell to start with when u feel betrayed....and the very person u thought was ur closest person...does a 180 degree and comes out of the camouflage that you thought was reality....first comes intense anger...and then with realisation comes pain...a lot of pain....and then with time comes acceptance and you learn to move on...thts what people around always keep saying neway....just move on....life will pick up pace soon....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and if one happens to be like me...bit too emotional...it takes more time to get over people...and if its matters of the heart...somewhere at the back of the mind always i think....neway....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;like i was saying...most people you meet are just the pretentious type who would just love to share the limelight with you...and try to slip away unnoticed at the first signs of un happiness...weell when i say that i don't mean...stick thru a horrible crisis come what may and sulk and mourn even if u can't do anythign to change things...but...just letting one know that if needed you can be a shoulder to cry on makes a lot of difference....trust me!!!.....those few words are so powerful....as to make a difference to the persons state of mind...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;at least you tried to make them smile...and boy the joy u'll feel if u can make a difference in someones life...is not comparable to anything...well not quiet but its a good feeling...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and to keep away from misery....best thing to do is to connect less with people...very very hard to achieve for some...but if attained...u can be happy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after all every day we live we try to wake up with a smile on our face...and make sure you don't forget to pass it on to as many people as possible...a smile can be one of the most contagious things on the face of this planet...so infect as many people as u can...thats what I have in mind ....smiling doesn't hurt or cost you anything...on the other hand it might make someone else...day a little better if not a lot...so be a happy puppy and infect this world with your smile....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

dostoevsky again....im in love with him....his descriptions are somewhat wierd and have something about em....i also have added another city to my travel list...st. petersberg....aka leningrad in the past...i'm currently reading notes from the underground...wierdest thing i have read till date....its a must read if not for anything else, the abrupt monologues that go on for ever....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;caught up with my uni friends and it was a nice quiet evening...watched the new will smith flick....cld have ben better...he looked hot as always...;) Im eagerly waiting for the dark knight...i have a subtle crush on someone again...but not worth nething...so have to forget about it...have to stop procrastinating and get back onto the research thingie as of tomorrow.... been working quiet a bit lately...and its almost like i'm getting paid to learn my mother tongue and getting to know it better...not bad...made me realise how rich and beautiful the language is...i'm also going through one of my phases currently...these days it is...feel proud about my roots moments...mostly..actually all the time...kindof becoming absessed to an extent abt stuff in general...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the trip next week up north isn't happening....im eagerly awaiting the time when i can fly home....and relax and unwind...and do all that i have in mind...oh god hope it all happens as i have pictured it..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i had a bizarre dream last morning...it had my circle of friends mixed up...people from back home for some odd reason knew my friends out here...and the things i saw were pretty wierd tooo...made no sense whatsoever...was a bit surprised to realise i dreamt about a certain things related to a certain person...who i didn't think wld mean much to me....i mean....not to the extent those images exhibited....neway....something more to muse about aye...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there have been certain things that were a constant burden on my mind...since the time i moved base....important things went wrong....but I'm so so so happy things are working out and the gaps closing again....and i hope this time its not a make bilief thing...its for real and hopefully here to stay and become better if not stay the same......;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i just had a pack of mei goreng..which im in love with...its the tastiest noodle on earth....i could probably live on mei goreng for a week and not complain...and now planning to watch a movie...so ill get back to that...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='html'>I finish my exams tomorrow....been waiting for this impatiently...being pretty much cut off from the rest of the world....isn't all that pleasant...gets on my nerves at times....and to release tension I lose myself in the virtual world of movies...and my fantasies....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tend to get very very uncomfortable...when I am by myself after sun set...Cannot begin to imagine this horrible feeling of sheer loneliness that begins to creep in....Although I know nothing could go wrong...I mean sucurity is good here...but something doesn't feel alright if its just me ....and it freaks me out....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im reallly really excited about goin home in some months time...Plan to be super stingy to save up money for my plans....but my fiends are starting to complain already when I mention this...not much going out all that often....Over the past few nights I have been dreaming about my childhood nest...the garden....I used to run off to and hide from my mum..when she was trying to get me to do a sheet of maths problems...or trying to shove boring chicken stew down my oesophagus....I still hate chiken stew...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every time mom tried to feed me something nutritious I would consider her my biggest enemy and plot ways to escape from her clutches...I used to be one Naughty kid....mommy would get complains every now and again from school...about me beating up a guy..or bullying someone...at lunchtime....and one line that never failed to appear on my report card was "she is very talkative in class"....that was something all teachers would consistently winge about....but over the years no one has been able to do anything to change it....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those good old days...makes my eyes moist when I remember them...gone never to return...I had been wanting to go back to the house I spent the initial 12 years of my childhood in....for a long time...but have been caught up with a lot of things...and have thus been procrastinating....but I am goin to take a walk down memory lane this time when I go home.....my dreams have lately been a montage of the itsy bitsy slices of those 12 years...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It feels wierd knowing when I go home this time..not all the familiar faces I am used to seeing would be around...I hate being all grown up....and seeing that sense of security and bonding I felt would last for ever between me and my friends...gradually disappear....not that its always the case that things aren't working out for us ...but more that life takes us in different directions...and I would never have thought five years back that I would be far far away from home on one bright winter afternoon typing up this blog...and being all nostalgic...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still remember the times when I used to play dressups with my cousins....lock ourselves in a room and pull out all the pretty sarees and dresses and try them on...and pose in front of the mirror....it was so much fun...I happened to mention this to my roommate the other day...and told her about how no one wants to play dressups with me anymore coz they thnk I'm being childish...and she came up to me last nite and said she would play with me after i finish my exams...YOOHOOO....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the things people give up to be grown up...makes me sad...&lt;div

type='html'>sometimes it makes me wonder...what is the purpose of living the life im living...I mean living life like a nobody....is not something appealing...yeah sure when you are born you parents, other family members and neighbours perhaps rejoice at the miracle of birth yet again...a new life being among them... but that sure is short lived...over the span of "life" on the face of this earth...we also tend to make friends (some very close ones one could treasure for life) and some not that close... &amp; acquaintances of our own....and then if you travell across the barrier of this life and into the next one..the one called afterlife....again sure a few people would miss you...but that is all...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot remember when I lost my desire to strive for a few things I thought were really important to me....and I can't remember when a few people I thought would be there with me for life...left my side even before I had begun to understand the complexities of life...and it hurt a lot...suddenly finding myself alone..without the familiar faces around....but I guess this is life...and you learn to live it as it comes and move on....Moving on is probably one of the most commonly used phrases...one can come across....evryone is advising evryone to move on with life all the time...its easier said than done...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;especially if you tend to be one who cries bucketfulls when watching melodramatic films and get dewy eyed at the merest mention of loved ones....Its kindof embarassing I tell you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am very happy today due to a variety of diferent reasons...but somewhere at the back of my mind...I feel a tad melancholy...I dreamt about things I thought I had gotten totally over and thought that I had managed to get out of my system...it seemed pretty surreal too...but was a stupid dream after all....but not everyone gets the thing they wish for....wishful thinking is fun but is limited to being a figment of our imagination.....mostly....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh I wish I could get so many different things....and be with some people....I would like to be with....wishful thinking...but i so so wish...for things to change...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

obviously....watching it ...i found myself lost in another world...some effect...good flick...recent too...a 2005 release...to me it seems....thrs something magical abt the country itself...when ever i tell my friends about the french connection (oh well my obssession with france!!) everyone tells me french people are rather rude and biggest snobs among EU...and its just in films that france is portrayed as i see it...which im in love with...and reality is different from the virtual world....i know its true...but the child inside me tells me never to let go my imaginations...and live just in reality....&lt;br /&gt;If I were given a choise to live anywhere on tis globe it would definitely be paris....i can't remember what triggered my obssession with france...but its been there for a decent while...and seems to be growing intense with passage of time....I have always been a dreamer....My dreams are rather bizarre too..i must say...i wake up most mornings thinking...wow that was cool...i wish it were for real...at one point of time used to be sci-fi dreams...not had much of those in recent past...neway...getiing back to what i was saying...One of my resolutions this year was to at least start attending classes to learn French...hoping itll happen....&lt;br /&gt;have so much to do this year....hope they all...or at least most of them happen...times flying tooo....so

obssessed is he...he goes and buys lingerie (really nice expensive ones two....i loved most of them!) for the doll...so hes spending days "playing"with Monique..untill his friends comes by and finds out and then word reaches his other acquaintances and wife...and she gets mad at him..jealous of a moulded doll with huge tits...!!! was a funny flick....ends well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that was my break...its almost 1am...and im as fresh as an owl...shld hopefully be able to stay up the nite...and work on some stuff....planning on finishing a lot of stuff this weekend....I also watched

few days...not incessantly but mostly raining...even had a hailstorm on tuesday...a violent one....yesterday was my first day at work...coz i have uni now...this was week one... :)and this is also my last week at work..quitting after tommorrow...glad that wnt have to put up with my boss perving and looking at the wrong things instead of making eye contact when we converse....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;neway...i had to change my topic of research due to lack of personal data..phew..im prettty pissed because of this..but i made up my mind about a few things that i want to do...and im sticking to them...neway...my roomie P and I keep emailing each other about updates about each other and about people around us at work...all day long......its kindof fun...shes crazier than im..a nutcase...nd fun to be with.....i had to pick up my layby (red Trench COat...i look so HOT in it)...*blush* *blush*** beet root...hehe....but yeah...neway..and then she and I went to another store...and we were playing this game where we would have to talk only in hindi...not a single word of english allowed ....and i was impressed with my hindi vocabulary...better than hers...yipppeeeee!!!!but a few words where we were having hot debates were...didnt know what lingerie is called in hindi...P came up with chaddi baniyan..which i didnt agree to...and she reckons pustika...is notebook while i think pustika can be any book....guys...can you please help me out there...???&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;nd my psycho roomie (the other one) is gettign out of controll...im scared these days to be newhere near her...she has her screaming routines every alternate day past midnight..when P and I are both trying to catch some beauty sleep....one of these days i could murder her out of frustration....its damn frustrating when someone is so inconsiderate even after spellling it out for them..that look u might not have to wake up early and go to wrk or UNi...but we do..so since we share a place we shld look out for each other...Selfish BIATCH...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and nother interesting inference we have drawn from a certain big red Pimple on exctly the same location on both our cheeks is...that after we have had chole bature from a restaurant last week this pimple came into existense on exactly the same day and man it HURTS!!! and at exactly the same location on a different cheek though....i have to keep making different manouveres with my side fringe to hide my pimple...its pretty red...and im sure someone standing a mile away can see it clearly...DAMN...y me GOD!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nd to continue from where i was, people started giving us wierd looks....P has refused to go out in public with me much these days..coz yesterday ....i cracked up laughing...at the grocery store..when i saw this lanky dark LOOSER with his hair tied up in a pony tail...trying to act all smart....was quiet a site...hihi...i cdnt help but laugh on his face...neway...i promised not to repeat it again...before she agreed to talk to me...and then we got back home...and we played the ad and serial music guessing game...and i was surprised to see that i remembered all the popular ad songs by heart.....we hummed to the tunes of...&lt;br /&gt;1)washing powder nirma...washing powder nirma...doodh si safedi...nirma se aaye...blah blah..( i know the rest..not in a mood to type it all up) hihi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2)vajradanti vajradanti vicco vajradanti...vicco powder vicco paste...ayurvedic jaributiyo se bana sampoorn swadesi...etc. etc..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3)jab ghar ki raunak barani ho...deewaro ko jab sajana ho...nerolac...NEROLAC...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4)vicco turmeric nahi cosmetic...vicco turmeric ayurvedic cream..keem muhaso ko jar se mitaye..twacha ki raksha kare..usme samaye...etc..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OH!!!i love indian ads..and its fun singing along with the songs..good old times...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Oh and at work today one of my colleagues...i tell you boys can be so so sadistic...we were talking about our childhood games...and this guy comes up with how he used to torture insects...e.g.;pull out the wings of flies after trapping them....watching them die coz of lack of oxygen by trapping them in between the glass sliding bits in a window....and how he used to catch spiders ( daddy long legs) and spray stuff on them..and them rip out its long limbs....that reminds me....i know someone else who used to catch bats...and toads and trap them...and when they died...he would have like proper funerals for them....and had like a little graveyard up the back of the house where their "tombstones" were marked with things..like red flags for bats....crazy as.....hihi...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after a long time..i feel happy today thinking that i am kindof following the rite track...i think i know...what i want and where im headed......im disappointed that i havnt had nemore chance encounters with my crush..after that one bumping into each other a fortnight ago....i think ill take to stalking him....if i dnt see him soon....muhaha..i know where he lives....hihi...dnt get ideas...im not a psycho stalker....just a girl-who-wants-to-bump-into-her-crush-again....lol&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

groggy..was in a trance like state when my alarm went off at 7...my scream alarm tone somehow got swapped for a soothing musical piece...donno how....i would rather hear the scream and wake up rather than this (this one kindof lulls me back to slumber agaian...)!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Been trying to change it back..but cant seem to figure out how to do it...the extended tired, drained feeling has been with me for the past week...nd refuses to go away...its been a cRaZy week..mostly involved socialising...a bit of serious work...studies and stuff..got acquainted with a hand full of people...involved some number exchanges...some musings(wow nice person...and at times...what a freak) like one particular person quiet a lot...and now back at work..still nursing a hangover from the past week(ends)...not to forget the not so eventfull V-day...the free movie passes i had won...well went to watch it with cousins on saturday...and its an absolute must watch...made me fall in love with Johnny Depp all over again...with increased intensity...hes so HOt....also i watched 27 dresses....nd i managed to lose my glasses somehow..they fell out of my pocket and i didnt realise untill quiet late...i bought a satin pink singlet (dirt cheap) and was so excited looking at the price tag that i didnt bother tryign it on...later discovered it woudn't go past my shoulder blades...i have no idea why i bought something that is obviously meant for an anorexic stick thin person.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the weekend that went by was pretty full on...met up with friends and cousins...and cousins friends...extended friends of friends of friends and cousins...(pretty confusing....how many different groups of people were involved)...had a quiet dinner nd then went clubbing...the ambience was good...once upstairs there was so much booze on the dance floor that i slipped twice...and found it hard to controll laughing out loud at how ridiculous my fall looked....hehe...(btw..i had no id and had to jump the fence somewhere)...it was good apart from chance encouters with few freaks ( @ times fobs!!) who attempted to hit on me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but the highlight of the week was a chance encounter with my current crush( i think i like him..nd i think (oh well i hope) its mutual)....after wrk few days ago..he looked dashing...;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;crammed in heaps of junk over the past few days....feel extremely guilt now and have to go work out this week....i actually started my saturday breakfast with a more than generous serving of mei goreng ( its an indonesian fried noodles...im totally addicted to it).....someone at work mentioned mei goreng today and i lost no time to introduce the other people who hadnt tasted it yet...how great it tastes...mite even start a mei goreng lovers club...(sounds kindof lame...actually) neway.....and a friend(female) of mine is apprently in (love) with my roomie P...and P has been asking me since yesterday if my friend is a desperate lesbian...man..i know a lot of wierdos...not not just crazy people(coz they can be handled...) but actual freaks...psychotic almost...neway my sumptous lunch awaits me..gotta go now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: and i decided to get married either on a boat house or at a beach..if it happens ever...sounds pretty cool...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

type='html'>when ever i surf through news items...i try to browse through the Telegraph...one of the leading dailies in kolkata...and the likes of it..just to keep myself updated about kolkata...something i have recently noticed is the controversy about the famous Kolkata Boi Mela...th elast time i went there it was still at maidan...i remember queueing up with P and checking out Hot guys while in the long queue....and also keeping a sly eye out for who we were getting checked out by...and finally when we entered...we were utterly confused about which end of the mela we should start from...getting lost in the world of books is amazing..we ended up buying loads of books...and managed to get lost twice (i think)....the book fair has been reloacted since the last time i was there...i wonder what the bloody politicians get out of unnecessary controversies.....&lt;br /&gt; the weekend that just went by was a gloomy one..i mean..its meant to be summer...and here we are freezing cold at times....due to the sudden heavy downpours and bloody hot at other times.....never know what to expect...most of the days im either freezing at work due to lack of proper clothings( the weather woman said it would be HOT) and at other times....all hot and puffy because i ended up wearing full slevved clothes when it was boiling hot outside....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;had meant to go to uni and get some work done..but nature was against that...it kept rainign on and offf throughout the two days....P &amp; I watched disturbia on friday night and were pretty disturbed by it...so ended up sleeping in the same room...we were talking about how different a day like this would be in india.....a rainy day would mean its an unofficial holiday for all....i would generally laze around curled up in my warm doona...and ma would generally make tele-bhaja..patla daal...alu-bhaja...and the likes of it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it turns out both of us were quite devils as kids...always driving our folks crazy with worry or embarrasing them in public...well..not that we have stopped doing that kindof stuff..but its toned down a bit...i guess living away from home change people in more than one way...but its fun to let that naughty kid inside take over every once in a while....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weather also reminded me of a particular brishtir din…when we all sat and watched sat ray movies…legend of a man…have been asking around for films from his collection..very hard to find…I can find hindi…punjabi and a whole lot of south indian films but not Bengali….damn…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet another brishtir din…this was when I was in year 11…..when it rained cats and dogs…..for those who are familiar with the water logging and temporary deluge in kolkata it wdnt be hard to conjure the image of  what it would be like wading through knee deep water on the streets….after school got over a couple of us decided to walk till JU from school….it was disgusting no doubt..but if this can be ignored it was a lotof fun..that walk…no doubt my granma made me strip at the entrance (almost)  before she would let me enter the house with my dirty uniform on…....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

with things..i dont like..or do i have too many options...and am in utter confusion about which one i should choose from......i mean when i come to think of it...so many options present themselves before us....and wait to be picked....when u go to buy a simple bottle of shampoo...u have deals like buy 2 shampooes and conditioner for half price....even if u dnt wanan buy two big bottles of the same stuff..most people would buy it neway to "not let go a good offer".....when you walk into a shop to buy clothes...man..this is the most confusing part ever....they have carefully planned deals to pick your pocket clean....even i fu went all planned onnot buying more than one item...those deals will get you to reconsider and you would end up buying whatever the hell they have to offer...you walk into a fast food franchise and you are greeted by a snack deal...or whopper deal..or something similar...hard to choose which type of fat and junk would you prefer over the other...even in life i guess you do get a lot of options...just that they dont always turn out to be too good....somewhat like...would you rather be unhappy at work....or unhappy at home....would you rather pretend to like someone .....or risk being lonely.....horriblle options....but you have to take your pick.....would you rather be in a life you always pictured...and seemed so surreal....or would you rather be a looser who has no life...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today was my pick to be a complete glutton...i ate so much all day...super junk fattening food....day started off with an egg and bacon muffin..which is my absolute favourite...(i love meat)....then i gobbled down a bag of sweet chilli and sour dip sticks....yummmm...ummmmmm.....and then a mcChiken burger( havent had mackers in ages) and fries....and then to end the day (well sort off) a triple chocolate mud cate..which was awesome...the first bite made me feel like i was in heaven...ummmmmmmmmm......with strawberries....by the end of the day i felt so guilty about the junk i ate all day....i went out with P for a good 30 min run/walk/jogg and felt good about it...exercise has this wonderfull soothing effect...feels great....guess tahst all for now....but i feel happy i ate whatever i did....havent had the luxury of being this greedy in a while....damn..im hungry again...have to go forage for food....&lt;div

plagiarise this...its so true...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. &lt;br /&gt;To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. &lt;br /&gt;To reach out for another is to risk involvement. &lt;br /&gt;To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. &lt;br /&gt;To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss. &lt;br /&gt;To love is to risk not being loved in return. &lt;br /&gt;To live is to risk dying. &lt;br /&gt;To hope is to risk despair. &lt;br /&gt;To try is to risk failure. &lt;br /&gt;But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. &lt;br /&gt;The person who risks nothing dies nothing, has nothing and is nothing. &lt;br /&gt;They say they avoid suffering and sorrow, &lt;br /&gt;But they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live... &lt;br /&gt;Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves. &lt;br /&gt;They have forfeited their freedom. &lt;br /&gt;Only a person who risks is free. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First thing that i heard when i walked into work today was that Heath Ledger was found dead  at his residence...a massuese and his housekeeper found him midday american time yesterday...first my reaction was that of shock..i mean..a 28 year old hot fit actor..suddenly dead...(apparently no foul play ivolved...but just mere drug overdose...).....&lt;br /&gt;these are things that make you wonder...well it certainly makes me wonder...how uncertain life is..and how i have no clue if ill live the day to see the sunrise tommorrow.....I have certain stigmas (mental stigma) from certain incidents....that came flooding back to mind....neway....i just saw this film at the cinemas last sunday (20th Jan) starring heath ledger...its just so hard to bilieve its true...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that great a start to a day i guess...but whatever....i guess th eworld mourns the loss of a hot young ozzie actor...my reaction was somewhat similar when the long exiled Paki president Benazir Bhutto was killed a while back...i mean..she had just returned to her country after a long time...and met her end in a bomb explosion not long after....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Theres so much that i mean to do or see before im tied down with more responsibilities...and grow too old to do things my own way...so much...i wonder if i will be able to do all that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;quiet an abstract post this is  i guess....but it does sincerely mimic what i suddenly felt at this moment of time....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

type='html'>its the first Lovely sunny clear sky day since last week...may soon turn into a rainy gloomy day though...or so the weather forecasts...wish it woudnt...gloomy weathers just make things worse for an already unhappy person...i guess its a general thing...well at least i dnt feel like doin anythign..but lazing around in bed...tucked in my blanket...and looking out the window at the incessant sheets of rain...and the occassional....flashes of thunder ( on a bad storm day) make me squeal and block my ears....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used to find thunderstorms intriging as a kid...wasnt scared...and would actually run out in the rain...the infamous &lt;em&gt;KaLbAiSaKhI&lt;/em&gt;....(people from kolkata would knw the pleasure of being outside during a kalbaisakhi)...aka norwesters.....till my granma told me about a little girl who used to do the same and got struck by a lightening bolt when she was outside on such an occassion...i avoid them since then...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh well today while i was on the morning train to work...there was a bunch of asian school girls who were discusssing what irritated them the most....quiet an interesting discussion it was....and when i happened to mention at to some my colleagues this topic later on...everyone came up with so many different things that irritated them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance....i get damn irritated when people try to tell me all the time what i should or should not do...nd oh i get irritated by constant repetitive noises....it could be the music that plays on pc or mobile games...or the constant buzzing of insects...or someone tapping away at a keyboard....in an otherwise completely silet ambience....it drives me crazy..all these repetitive noises around.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What makes it to the top of the list is DuMbArSe Forward chain letters...i mean not the ones that have like fruit art...or scary videos nd things ..but the ones that say a story..or relate an incident and then ...ask u to scroll down....and end like...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"blah...blah....blah...."....if u forward this letter to 5 people u get a phone call from someone in 5 mins with some godo news...if u frward to 10 people u will have good luck coming ur way and will be here to stay for a year...blah...blah....and if u dont forward it at alll then bad luck will strike...and something really terrible will happen to you....so pass it on...."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i mean...i dont get it how people can be so dumb as to even read through them and pass it on...(im ashamed i actually used to do that a long time back...donno what i was thinkin...)and then bilieve in them and forward them and expect whatever it says to happen....MaN!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O and the bloody emails i keep getting all the time...abt drugs to increase ur organ sizes...or silica implants....i have tried unsubcribing from these mailing list a million times....i dont knw or understand where the hell they manage to get my email id from....i mean...i check my yahoo every fortnite i guess...and i get 20 to 30 of these junk emails..inspite of my spam guard being turned on...pisses me offf....but i have given up...nothing seems to stop them...from telling me how i shld go for the "miracle Drug" to enlarge things.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;one of my friends at work....was talking about how she got a mail narrating teh incident about &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...."a girl(say A) who was in love very much in love with a guy (say B)...and now A was expecting that B would propose to her soon...so one day B asked A out...and fro some reason A thought this was D-day....but B drove her out to a bridge and they got out stood there looking at the sunset...and B broke the silence by saying he doesnt think shes the rite one..and that they should call it off....A was heart broken...and ran home and committed suicide...and when A'a parents got to know that their only daughter is dead they coudnt handle the grief and committed suicide as well....and apprently later on the "girl" well i guess the revengeful spirit they mean....came out of the drain pipe at B;s place and killed B while he was in the shower....."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;welll and guess what ...the mail ends with...."if you dont forward this mail on...then she ll come down your drain pipe and kill you tooo.....but if you forward this mail on...shell be happy and leave you alone..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i mean...how lame is that...how on earth would A know that i didnt forward the mail on??is she some sort of geek....a cyber geek spirit...who can hack into your system and see who you are emailing....and R who related this incident goes...well i know its dumb..but i was thinking what if its true...and there actaully is a Spirit of A looking out for people who didnt forward that email...and what if she come down the drian pipe to pay me a visit....I coudnt controll my laughter when she said that.....i was pretty much fell of my chair and choked over my glass of water......i guess everyone has similar expiriences to share...i guess any joe blow would...&lt;div

mind...hehe...&lt;br /&gt; neway on my lunch break now...kind off sleepy...and high (high on tiredness i Guess!!)....coz funny things are going through my mind....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happened to watch P.S I LoVe YoU...yesterday at teh cinemas with P...my Roomie...Its a romantic comedy....touching flick....tugged at my heartstrings on and off...we were initially meant to go watch American Gangster(which i will tommorow)....but got sidetracked into watching this one....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two reasons why i loved this film are;&lt;br /&gt;1} starring Gerard Butler as one of the protagonists..reason enough aye...hes so HOT!!!&lt;br /&gt;2}I have been feeling a bit low  since the past couple of days...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having no purpose ...or direction ....or plan  whatever the hell one may refer to it as...is damn annoying...It leaves me in a  cranky mood whenever i lose clarity of vision...or am unsure about things...so a romantic comedy was the perfect recipe to draw myself out of that state of mind....for a fair period of time at least....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ended up being so "touched" by the film that i had a hard time trying to hide my sniffles as an involuntary response to nething remotely emotional....hehe....i can be such a wuss ....lol....i was bugging my friend about how much i love the irish accent...(nothing beats my love for french (the language) or anything remotely associated with France for a matter of fact).....especially from a male...i have a fetish for people who can speak well...can express themselves really welll....have had million instances where i had fallen head over heals in "crush"...with a man ..just coz he was well spoken....irrespective of looks....but mostly got nasty shocks when they turned out to be really.....not what i would imagine prince charming to be...hehe....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also watched atonement over the weekend....another book i loved...movie was equally good...specially the cinematography....got me shedding bucketfull of tears...neway..just realised lunch times over...gotta get going...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

benefit” -Napoleon Hill&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have uploaded a couple of really messed up barely watchable video footage of the NYE fireworks...and a still snap..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;heres a joke...i found somewhere...Jon goes to the local novelty shop and finds a pair of x-ray glasses. He checks them out, and isn't fully convinced, but as usual, the store assistant comes along and closes the deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On his way home, Jon puts on his new x-ray glasses and, bingo! He sees everyone in the street naked. He takes them off for a moment, and everyone has their clothes on. Puts the glasses back on...everyone is naked! "Cool!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As he arrives back home, he is eager to show his new toy to his wife, Judi, but can't find her. He goes up to the bedroom and finds his wife and the postman, naked in bed. He takes his glasses off, and the two are still naked. He puts them back on, and they are still naked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jon then says: "Damn, I just paid fifty bucks for these and they're already broken!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;heres another one....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A young man goes into a drug store to buy condoms. The pharmacist says the condoms come in packs of 3, 9 or 12 and asks which the young man wants. "Well", he said, "I've been seeing this girl for a while and she's really hot. I want the condoms because I think tonight's THE night. We're having dinner with her parents, and then we're going out. Once she's had me, she'll want me all the time, so you'd better give me the 12 pack". The young man makes his purchase and leaves. Later that evening, he sits down to dinner with his girlfriend and her parents. He asks if he might give the blessing, and they agree. He begins the prayer, but continues praying for several minutes. The girl leans over and says, "You never told me that you were such a religious person". He leans over to her and says, "You never told me that your father is a pharmacist".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok enough of lame jokes...lol...heres something else ......which mimics my feelings completely..and i guess it does for a lot of other people out there tooo....&lt;br /&gt;its called ....if only....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times in my life when I sit back, close my eyes, take a deep breath and say..."if only".  Then I find myself locked in once more in the past....I can't seem to move on.  One minute I'm moving forward and then Im reminded of something, next thing I know I'm back in memory lane. Going through all the good times that I never thought would end...oh it feels so good to belong, to know that someone will always be behind you and you would feel like you can do anything cause you believe that when everything goes wrong, someone would catch you and prevent you from being broken....but when the person whom you believe to be more than your lover but a bestfriend too turned out to be a hypocrite then you would see that everything that surrounds you slowly melts away because they are all lies, then you would realize...if only you could turn back time....that's how I feel. If only I could turn back the hands of time then in a heartbeat I would say what I truly feel inside, I would no longer care if I would look stupid or whatever, bottomline I would be free.  Its so difficult to lock up something in your heart because it just strengthens over time and when you cant finally contain it you would explode and your heart will be blown out, you wouldn't know where to find the scattered pieces. In just one wrong decision and here I am, sitting....remembering....having too many "if only's" and once again I feel as if I am in a middle of nowhere....totally lost.  I know that no matter how many times I say "if only" I cant undo what has been done and that's the saddest part, we always have to live in the consequences of everything we say and do, it's the reality that life isn't like a computer that when you did a wrong command all you have to do is click the undo button or the escape key then your system is still safe....and with every painful memory, you can't just go delete it...you have to deal with it which makes me say "IF ONLY moving on is as easy and simple as saying it....IF ONLY".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266"

checked it....&lt;br /&gt;Neway....i wore all red....except for my JACKET which was black....DAMN...have to buy a red jacket...although black was quiet acontrast and looked good....nd i looked good (ok...i know you must have raised your eyebrows already....abt how “HUMBLE” i’m ...but i cant lie can i.....???)but it turned out a lot of people at work turned up in red...well no one was all RED though ....from head to toe....apart from ME..ME....ME.....;)i tried LONG ISLAND ICE TEA....BoY! was it good....the first sip hit me....i felt it....got kindof a bit “TIPSY”after that and some champagne....all the things ...feelings ...emotions ....i have been trying to block  out came rushing back....and i almost did call “someone”up.....but didnt...eventually....thank GOD for that.....or it would have turned into a messy episode...may be....&lt;br /&gt;These days i have started doing stuff i normally wouldnt do....i kindof try not to think toooooo..much before doing something...coz my habbit of constant analysis just spoils the fun ......wrenches it out of a lot of things....nd i actually quiet like it this way....&lt;br /&gt;Oh well...slept in today...a bit ...and then work as usual....nd then luna park.....finised work at 10:00 got hoem at 11pm....and chit chatted with my roomies for a while...just finised watching WO H LAMHE....one of my favourite films...not coz i think the protagonists have done a really good job..but becoz.....i can relate to the plot...it seems so surreal the fact that some one can love someone else to the extent they have portrayed in that film.....would have to be bloody lucky....i would say....this films mesmerizes me every time i see it...no matter how many times i have already seen it..i always end up with moist eyes....towards the end....its just too touching....but im trying so hard to become a stone hearted soul......would be better offf......i reckon....all this emotional stufff...seems like a waste of time....and breathe....coz at the end of the day...LIFE is a bitch...and people around even more so....nd i tend never to get nething out of time invested into nourishing relations.........&lt;br /&gt;GOD...its like quater to three almost...and im up late typing up this blog....what the helll.....i so dont have a LIFE.....DAMMIT!!!!!i am goin to visit a frnd tommorroww..she has heaps planned...which hopefully...if weather permits....we will be able to do all that she has plaaned out....then.....some more time devoted to nourishing relations....lol....its my birthday.....another damn....day....nother year closer towards DEATH......tahst how i have started looking at it.....DAMN...i sound majorly depressed even to myself.......CRAP.....i should be happy.....neway...im too tired....should go to sleeep i guesss.....signing off.....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

india..i had lost her number...and kindof she had been pushed to the background...too..even though we spent good times together this time.....felt good she acyually took time to sms me and let me knw her details updated...ill try to keep touch....theres these few people....even if i channelise a lot of effort into keeping good terms with them..they cdnt be bothered....or rather..make sure they make it obvious....this after a lot of sweet memories...is just a shocker....one feels really hurt for a week or so..then it kindof sinks in..and then you learn to accept things the way they are and

places....to be precise...two whole weeks and a day....im liking it...luckyly my roomies are good/ok....and we try to be there for each other when someone needs help...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately a lot of people around me have been having issues with relationships...be they with their significant other or just acquaintainces...or even good friends and colleagues......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At times people tend to rely so much on people...they just know kindof not toowell even...but intuition makes us do thigns otherwise...this can also be called a result of thinking with the heart ratehr than with the BRAIN...hehe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have been effected by other peoples lives time and again...to a great extent....where i have puto=in more effort into making the other person feel comfy and better...while my own crises were pushed back to the furthest corner...but....hardly ever have i got the same response from those very people....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wasting emotions and feelings for "friends" has become a thing of the past....it seems...most people feel that way...in this modern rat race....too much work presure...personal issues to be handled and all th other things that need to be taken care of....peple are becoming mechanical...more liek a robot....no emotions..its liek you dont wannna invest time knowing someone or making someone feel wanted ...given a choice between doin the aforementioned and earning a few extra dollars....obvious choice here burns down to $....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a lot of times....i have seen people..my parents even complain..that i dnt spend enough time with them...this time when i went back to kolkata....this was somethign i heard too often....i even realised that so very often people arent the way they seem to be...even your closest family and friends seem to be kindof distant and liek strangers at times....even if i stayed home for a week mom and dad would be like thats not good enough...i shld not go out socialise with friends everyday...they failed to see that i wantted to catch up with other people too after staying away from home for nearly 4 years...but i know i cant really blame them....they want their legitimate share of time with me tooo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cooked proper food for the first time since i moved....and i was pretty impressed when it turned out pretty good..without supervision aye (although i did call up ma and asked her why the hell the potatoes were taking so lang toget boiled...twice hehe!!!)but it felt good.....cant afford the luxury of home cooked food all the time though once middecember is here....evrythign needs to be slotted into cooking time...washing time...etc etc....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dont eevn know what i started off with when i started typing this blog..and where im ending now...just mixed expressions....i guesss...neway i sound way to confused....lunch is getting cold...nd im stomachs making noises again....HUNGRY....adios...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

discussion ended with dissing guys...and what a pain in the arse they can be....hehe its like we get a pleasure by calling out fellow humans (out counterparts..hehe) cold hearted bastards....aha but

type='text'>out of hybernation...</title><content type='html'>I have been super busy in the past week...not had the time to blog....some anonymous reader asked me why....well...movings cals for settling and unpacking too as an afetrmath...i have been doing a bit of that and also...mostly chatting with my friends...roaming around the city aimlesslessly...not knowing what better use i can make of my new found freedom...lol...im kindof in a daze....watching films...my god i have seem Om shanti Om 5 times already i think....me and my roomie keep rewatching the Tamil film shoot....and rolling on the ground when SRK goes...naughty pussy ....and raascella MIND IT!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;A lot of people i know have started to comment on how i think a bit too much....and take things way too overboard or seriously when in fact certain things dnt need that much of attention....Im beggining to think its kindof a serious problem....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had anticipated that this move will be followed by less tiredness...and more sleep...less of nocturnal net surfing....and easing into the mood to study....but helll....nothign like thats been happening...well i dnt stress as much but been cuttign dwn on sleep...either watching films...or connecting with people...or going out....and the lacuna of sleep is starting to tell on my health...dnt have much of an appetite...went out for dinner yesterday nite with my roomie...she kindof had to take up the role of my MUM telling me to get more generous helpings of food...when i started harping about having eaten toomuch...and feeling bloated up....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh well it feels good to see someone cares at least...neway shes an absolute sweetheart...we gel well..being two mad caps as we r always competing for the title "Queen nutcase"....hehe....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have kindof seen that if i dont stick to my usual routine for things...everything around just goes haywire....well my system does too....i have been sleeping late as usual...but getting up 45 mins later than when i used to at my previous nest...but i end up panicking and rushing forgetting lunch....or almost go out with clothes not properly doen up...run to the station manage to hop on the train just as its about to slam shut on me....its a mad rat race..and strathfield is so damn crowded at the early hours of the day....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today the house is supposed to get cleaned every nook and corner...and weve decided that its high time we started doin some serious house wrk and cooking instead of pigging out outdoors....i have been eating chicken and vegetable pies for god knows how long...and can almost see my appetite getting bashed to death when i open the fridge and see the pies taht r still left to be eaten....sick of em.... :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;rest nothing much to be said really...apart from the fact that im still devoting a lot of "my" thinking time and raking my gray matter to figure out how i function in certain ways at  times....and how other fellow homo sapiens around do too....more i think more i tend to get confused though....but its like a disease i cant stop thinking.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot can be blamed on certain fellow humans....and on the books i have been reading in recent times....depressive as hell but for me ...they hold my interest...and are unputdownable....hehe....im running out of news..and can heard my stomach groan in complaint for lack of food...signing off for now...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

for  a long long time...but when its finally happening....i feel a bit sad and immensely happy ......feel a void....will get better hereon though...slept pretty late day before hence a hangover yesterday...had to do a lot of things too so took the day off work....and went home early....was just by myself....my mind was a "montage" of happy/sad....memories....flashes from recent past.....i specially remember the day we (my cousins and I) lied at home about a day out in the city (bicenttenial park) but actually landed up at BONDI Beach...spent a lovely 3 hrs building sand castles or lazing in the sun....gentle waves kept coming and lapping us up...time and again...and then we had sandwich on the rocks and walked the coast line from bondi to coogee....passing bronte beach (tiny one) and waverley cemetary (its beautiful...the pic above is one of the tomb stones)....catch  glimpses of it in DIL CHAHTA HAI...the background in Tanhai....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;neway apart from these occasional good times i had..there were plenty that totally killed the good spirit inside me....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;started to get bored and lonely .....my friend came home just in time...we just sat and chatted late into the nite....and i didnt even keep track of time...were so engrossed...by the time we looked at the watch it was nearly 12....but fell asleep the minute my head touched my pillow....which hasnt hasppened in a million years...i guess things are starting to change.....im happyyyyy.....so long so good.....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

week....i woke up to my alarm and the soothing noise of the heavy downpour outside....while on my way to work...few random incidents happened which i would like to share....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; while on the train...i usually have my ipod turned on...listen to music and kindof doze at the same time .....if im not carrying a book with me....today i hapened to sit in one of those seats on the train where two sitting places face each other...there was an indian guy ( pretty handsome...i thought he looked....kept looking at him every now and again...) was sleeping ..fast asleep...at town hall station a gal who was sitting by the window seat needed to get out and cdnt do so coz our legs were kindof forming a grid blocking off the exit...she called to him &lt;br /&gt;uhummmm excuse me...no answer....did this couple of times...then actually tapped ...still no response....next came violent jerking and he jumped out of his seat....every one around had a god laugh....poor thing must be so tired to be that sleepy....hehe"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;some thing that happened at work today....i was going to confirm the full name and other details for a certain Mr. Gay Dickason...( well yeah thast how it was spelt on sky [the database i work on]) i was almost going to say the last name to the receptionist when i realised that its a typo...too much of a cooincidence being named gay dick-ass-on.....DAMN...managed to save my own rite on time...but both (the receptionist &amp; I) realised what happened at the same time..and burst out laughing on the phone.....iwas bursting almost...had to hang up....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my colleague...the gal who sits next to me is dcurrently working on a conference called "shared services" and she has been calling up companies asking for people who hold that title....and guess what kindof responses she has been getting...."shed services??? what the hell is that??" stupid receptionists...either they are deaf or have a brain the size of a shrunk pea...to think someone would call them up at government organisation and ask for someone in charge of sheds or shed servicing....what morons....&lt;br

world of blogs....im getting into the mood....i ox reading other peoples blogs....(well few interesting bloggers have my attention....)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its lunch time now....im kindof bored and already looking forward to friday night.....well its diwali after all...and i might end up socialising (fingers crossed) .....at a temple....lol....neway seeing new faces is better than seeing none at all.....might be able to get rid of the monotonity of life for a night at least....and more reason for joy...moving on saturday...can fore see the hectic day....but its exciting.....btw its rainy today...been rainign since morning....when i left home in the morning..it was a slight drizzle (while no one was looking i did a little bollywood rain dance on my way to the station, pretending to running around trees....non existant ones...hehe...its fun pretending to be in those situations...) which later intensified into a not too heavy shower....getting drenched in the rain is a lot of fun.....it makes me feel fresh.....its not so welcome though on my way to work...for an obvious reason...;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;neway getting back to what i was saying....came across this "tale" i would like for anyone who reads this blog to please comment on the stories...its from some one elses blog btw....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heres how the first one goes....&lt;br /&gt;There was this girl (ahh… interesting right?)… she has got the hots for this dude and it appeared that this dude was perfect for her.He even reciprocrates on and off.... The author referred to him as ROFH (Mr-Right-One-For-Her)… you know, stable career, has all the charm, strong chemistry… perfect … almost. But there’s a slight problem, this dude just doesn’t prioritise her. He will only call her out when he has nothing else to do. Knowing that she has got the hots for him, the dude maximise his advantage to the fullest and took her for granted. If you guys are asking whether she slept with him… well, I dunno that....keep guessing.....Then… hmmm… along came another dude, this is OTRFH (Mr-One-that’s-right-for-her)… you know, the one who prioritise her, the one who would bow down at her skirt, the one who know what she wants and fulfil her wishes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;personally well i would go for a mix between the two ( sounds too good to be true aye....) some one who gives me enough attention and is "bad" (u know what i mean......) ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, who do you think the girl chose?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second story goes this way.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is this really hot looking babe with guys always on her trail. But you guessed it right, she is obviously not interested in them. At least not in the way that they wanted her to.To make thing things more interesting, she is current dating someone who is dating. Sounds confusing? Well, she is semi-dating someone who is fully-dating another person. Yeah, basically she is the 3rd party in someone else’s relationship. And hear this, she knows it’s wrong and once sworn never to do such thing for her previous relationship was wrecked by another 3rd party… talk about irony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its hard to decide here what i would have done.....love/ strong emotions make people do a lot of things they woudnt be ready to admit they are capable of doin.....i get pretty confused when it comes to these situations....lol..im "ONE" confused soul....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what do you think would happen....would she end it there and move on to dating someone whos devoted to no one but her....or would she stick with the "bone in the meat" guy whos dating someone else....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2437286460984995941-250480690038378523?l=aphrodite-thequeenofmyworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aphrodite-thequeenofmyworld.blogspot.com/feeds/250480690038378523/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2437286460984995941&amp;postID=250480690038378523&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2437286460984995941/posts/default/250480690038378523'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2437286460984995941/posts/default/250480690038378523'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aphrodite-thequeenofmyworld.blogspot.com/2007/11/big-mark-of-interrogation.html' title='a Big Mark of Interrogation...??'/><author><name>Aphrodite</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13347167603933762778</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437286460984995941.post-3055587500335755568</id><published>2007-11-08T08:18:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2007-11-07T13:18:22.340+11:00</updated><title type='text'>now these really are tough questions..??!@//!! hehe</title><content type='html'>wanted to share this news article i found on the internet....had me rolling with laughter...nearly fell off my chair laughing...hehe....M sure all who read this will get a good "guffaw" heehehe at least a smile (a big one) out of it.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;5 Toughest Questions a Woman Can Ask a Man&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The questions are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;What are you thinking about?&lt;br /&gt;Do you love me?&lt;br /&gt;Do I look fat?&lt;br /&gt;Do you think she is prettier than me?&lt;br /&gt;What would you do if I died?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly (i.e tells the truth). Therefore, as a public service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible responses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Question # 1: What are you thinking about?&lt;br /&gt;The proper answer to this, of course, is: "I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you." This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following:&lt;br /&gt;1.Baseball.&lt;br /&gt;2.Football.&lt;br /&gt;3.How fat you are.&lt;br /&gt;4.How much prettier she is than you.&lt;br /&gt;5.How I would spend the insurance money if you died.&lt;br /&gt;(Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg, "If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Question # 2: Do you love me?&lt;br /&gt;The proper response is: "YES!" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, "Yes, dear." Inappropriate responses include:&lt;br /&gt;1.I suppose so.&lt;br /&gt;2.Would it make you feel better if I said yes?&lt;br /&gt;3.That depends on what you mean by love.&lt;br /&gt;4.Does it matter?&lt;br /&gt;5.Who, me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Question # 3: Do I look fat?&lt;br /&gt;The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!" Among the incorrect answers are:&lt;br /&gt;1.Compared to what?&lt;br /&gt;2.I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin.&lt;br /&gt;3.A little extra weight looks good on you.&lt;br /&gt;4.I've seen fatter.&lt;br /&gt;5.Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Question # 4: Do you think she's prettier than me? Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!" Incorrect responses include:&lt;br /&gt;1.Yes, but you have a better personality&lt;br /&gt;2.Not prettier, but definitely thinner&lt;br /&gt;3.Not as pretty as you, when you were her age&lt;br /&gt;4.Define 'pretty'&lt;br /&gt;5.Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Question #5: What would you do if I died?&lt;br /&gt;A definite no-win question. (The real answer, or course, is "Buy a Corvette.")&lt;br /&gt;No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along the these lines:&lt;br /&gt;She....Would you get married again? He.....Definitely not! She....Why not - don't you like being married? He.....Of course I do. She....Then why wouldn't you remarry? He.....Okay, I'd get married again. She....You would? (With a hurtful look on her face) He.....Yes, I would. She....Would you sleep with her in our bed? He.....Where else would we sleep?

or did....but never really ended up saying it....not too often...but yes there have been times when i would do anything but utter that word "sorry"....but every time i have said that to someone....i instantly feel better.....&lt;br /&gt;the incident that comes to mind rite now happened about 2.5 years ago...got into a rather rough patch with a dear friend of mine.....we had some misunderstandings .....&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;"THANKS" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff33;"&gt;to a random idiot who i happened to pour my heart out to....and being really close friends (at least i felt that way) i was devastated when my friend woudnt talk to me and accused me of being a ***** who had no morals and shit like that....i couldn't sleep at night for days on end...cry my eyes out....people at uni would be like what on earth was wrong with me...i repeatedly said sorry even though it wasn't really my fault....neway we've reconciled since then....but things havent really quiet been the way they used to be the pre-"that episode" days.....i still lament the loss of a strong bond...but i guess life moves on....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had a tumultous couple of years in the recent past.....and the situations ihave been thrust into have in a lot of ways made me more mature as a person...and to try learn and live life alone....coz i am convinced of one thing for sure...my lucks pretty crap....never get what i want easily enough without having to loose sleep over it....being easily effected by whats in in and around my life....i tend to get depressed a lot these days tooo...trying to block out things but in vain.....should get there soon...i mean be successful in becoming a total recluse with no attachments (social) whatsoever.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;enough of depressing monologues....today is a big day here....Melbourne cup is on in a while .......people are xtra happy coz they thought it would have to be cancelled due to the widespread equistrian flu "epidemic" ...well almost...but o well its finally happening...im kindof unwell.....bored at work as always...;).....lol....so in a while we leave all office staff ..heading to a cafe down the street...just socialise watch the race....dine along with wine....not really dining but late lunch with champaigne and wine.....i kindof needed just this....havent met a soul

type='text'>few tough questions....are they really???</title><content type='html'>i just happened to come across a few "tough" questions blokes often think of.....heres what experts have to say about it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff0000;"&gt;do animals have a 6th sense like us?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;or a seventh in fact???....oh well a box jellyfish has 24 eyes,the entire body of an earth worm is a bloody taste receptor...cockroaches can detect movement 2000 times the diameter of a Hydrogen atom....and for those who have dogs..they can smell upto 100,000 times betetr than u can...i think they just are super human "species" neway...us lesser mortals have to learn to deal with what we have or should i say havent ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hope that answers the question...lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;where do traffic jams come from?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;scientists are hard at work trying to get this one answered....studying numerous compute generated models of the physics of gridlocks and inventing all new traffic-light algorithms. some have even suggested that the rythms of road traffic are influenced by the same cyclical forces taht cause waves in the ocean....for an average commuter....it all boils down to ..........there are just too many people trying to do teh same thing at the same place at the same time...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;p.s.:xpert suggestion....try flushing every single toilet in your office at the same time and see what happens....hehe &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

style="color:#6666cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Can a man and woman ever just be "friends"?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;for a short time yes perhaps remotely....possible??? making the friendship last for ever requires taht one of them finds the other one at least vaguely repulsive...or they r not straight or have deviant sexual preferences....i guess....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;When should a friendship be ended?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;As soon as you get the sneaking suspicion that it never really began....on a personal note i have had bad expiriences with my "friends" but never really got round to ending it totally...was shit scared of being lonely...not that im not lonely now...but neway...coudnt be bothered.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

type='text'>a slice out of someones life...</title><content type='html'>how often does it happen that we actually watch something that we enjoy...i woudnt say its frequent...last week i happened to watch this beautiful french film..its called the common thread...was a delightful short film...the protagonist- a young maiden...claire who is a 17 year old living away from home just to be close to where she sees herself being happy....shes a tough girl with a soft heart..she loves embroidering on nice fabric...she gets hired by a middle aged lady with who she shares a common love (hence the name -a common thread) for embroidering...together they find trust and love for each other...the film ends with claire saying she wants to keep the baby girl (now growing inside her womb) who she had earlier thought of giving away for adoption after giving birth to it anonymously...meanwhile love blossoms between her and the brother of (her best and may be only friend) lucile.&lt;br /&gt;the background score of the movie was like honey to my ears....&lt;br /&gt;that night ( i watched it on saturday 3rd November) ended pretty well.while we were watching the film...it started pouring outside....and after finishing the film...we all ran out onto the balcony to get a feel of the rain...got soaked....no wonder the feverish feeling i have today...bunked work to hybernate....all in all

type='text'>phobias galore...........</title><content type='html'>Today while surfing the net for something worthwhile to interest my idle mind...came across this link on various types of phobias the homo sapiens suffer from....apparently people tend to get scared of really "bizarre" things...as i would think of it....im goin to plagiarise this bit...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"There are by official estimate thousands of them on the scene today--specific phobias such as the fear of nude men and women, ugly people, beautiful people, long hair, short hair, good deeds, bad deeds, and life after death. The little fears range from the fear of oneself (monophobia) to the fear of everyone else (anthrophobia), and psychiatrists say they've already scientifically labeled over 700 of the redoubtable dreads--although they've just started counting.&lt;br /&gt;We have plenty of vestiophobes, people with an aversion to wearing clothing, around today, and there are even a few nonstreakers left who suffer from the fear of not wearing clothes. Among sexual phobias, or hang-ups, we can report gynephobia, the fear of women, its companion androphobia, the fear of men, as well as pornophobia, the fear of prostitutes, and gamophobia, the fear of marriage. Then, too, almost everyone has some form of zoophobia, the fear of other animals, ranging from the fear of dogs to the fear of cats and rats. But there are also botanophobes, who dislike plants, and even anthophobes, who fear just flowers. Acrophobia, the fear of heights, is also high on the list, as is claustrophobia--the dread of closed or of narrow places. The fear of thunder has 4 names, astraphobia, keraunophobia, ceraunophobia and tonitrophobia. The number of names for this very reasonable fear of sudden disastrous explosions is almost matched in our time by the number of names for the fear of being alone--autophobia, eremophobia, and monophobia."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmmmm a lot isn't it....never really thought people could be scared of other people..when i started thinking what im scared of ...i could actually think of a few different things which i fear...i have these recurrent dreams about falling through free space and suddenly banging against something and its pretty frequent i must say...the dream ( more like a nightmare) ends in me jerking out of sleep drenched in sweat...i am always scared of missing steps when i am hurrying down or up a flight of stairs..which i tend to do pretty often ( im a super lazy and tend to rush when ever i have to leave coz im invariably running a bit late).....&lt;br /&gt;I have always had this phobia about people unseen to me, watching my every move...when i was in year 12, this was back in kolkata...my granma ...who i always shared our room with ( was gone-visiting my uncle) i had changed my cycle to sleeping late into the day and staying up studying late at night...i function better that way...neway...i always used to leave my windows open and draw the curtains aside...there was this massive mango tree swaying in the pleasant summer breeze...i coudnt help imagiining something ( rather someone) was sitting there welel concealed and watching every move i made....it made me feel like every move i make is under surveillance...used to freak me out to such an extent that i ended up closing all windows and doors and doin my work...all sweaty and hot...&lt;br /&gt;recently...in my room couple of weeks earlier...i coudnt sleep all night coz i kept seeing faces or patterns of twisted faces in the massive swaying tree which looked notoriously black a fair distance from my window....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im scared of the dark....never feel so insecure as i do if im plunged into utter darkness...its like i get claustrophobic and desperately look for a way to escape this cool silence of the darkness around me.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once about two years ago my cousins and I tried doing a "seance" aka "planchette" and although we were convinsed that it woudnt really work two among the three of us felt something change around us when we were trying to focus on the job at hand....that was quiet a lesson...have made a promise to myself never to fool around with these kindof paranormal forces ( it they really do exist) i woudnt be too keen on on them following me around...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2437286460984995941-9050086907745639211?l=aphrodite-thequeenofmyworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aphrodite-thequeenofmyworld.blogspot.com/feeds/9050086907745639211/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2437286460984995941&amp;postID=9050086907745639211&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2437286460984995941/posts/default/9050086907745639211'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2437286460984995941/posts/default/9050086907745639211'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aphrodite-thequeenofmyworld.blogspot.com/2007/11/today-while-surfing-net-for-something.html' title='phobias galore...........'/><author><name>Aphrodite</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13347167603933762778</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437286460984995941.post-7930414230274110911</id><published>2007-11-06T08:30:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2007-11-07T12:52:03.655+11:00</updated><title type='text'>a carefree gud laugh.....Ha Ha Ha...</title><content type='html'>Authorities said a fight broke out on board a flight arriving at Miami International Airport on Wednesday morning.American Airlines Flight 918 was en route to Miami from Lima, Peru, when, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a 56-year-old Japanese man and a 20-year-old man got into an altercation.The FBI said that about two hours before the flight was scheduled to land, the Japanese man elbowed the passenger sitting next to him. Federal authorities said the Japanese man didn't think the passenger should be using an iPod in flight and complained that he smelled. He then poured perfume on the man, poured water on himself and vomited in the aisle, authorities said.&lt;a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/ibs.mia.news/national;kw=news+square;ad=true;tile=1;pgtype=detail;sz=300x250;ord=123456789?"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"(Flight attendants) were able to basically keep both apart for the remainder of the flight," said Miami-Dade police spokeswoman Nelda Fonticella. "Once they got here, the crew did notify Miami-Dade police."When the plane arrived at Gate D-43 shortly before 6 a.m., police greeted both men.No charges were filed, but authorities said American Airlines denied boarding the Japanese man a day earlier because he had been behaving strangely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ever heard of the strip search prank calls....well i didnt know until now...it involves a man calling up a restaurant, claiming to be a detective who convinced managerial staff to strip-search all female restaurant employees. It took 70 such occurences in 30 US counties before police nabbed the man responsible for this..turned out to be a florida corrections officer (senile off course) who was later arrested and charged....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;more too come........lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;watch this video my cousiin showed it to me...got me rolling...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=owK5tHjL0aE"&gt;http://youtube.com/watch?v=owK5tHjL0aE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2437286460984995941-7930414230274110911?l=aphrodite-thequeenofmyworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aphrodite-thequeenofmyworld.blogspot.com/feeds/7930414230274110911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2437286460984995941&amp;postID=7930414230274110911&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2437286460984995941/posts/default/7930414230274110911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2437286460984995941/posts/default/7930414230274110911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aphrodite-thequeenofmyworld.blogspot.com/2007/11/carefree-gud-laughha-ha-ha.html' title='a carefree gud laugh.....Ha Ha Ha...'/><author><name>Aphrodite</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13347167603933762778</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437286460984995941.post-6769062434344520254</id><published>2007-11-06T07:16:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2007-11-07T12:51:34.847+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Little things that go unnoticed....</title><content type='html'>i have often thought of a lot of things that i only ever thought about when i was not preoccupied with other "more important" things....a smily face in the crowd......the first showers of spring (well yeah its kindof is refereshing unlike the torrential rains during winter)....appreciating something that ones family has done for them ( although people generally tend to ignore that, its kindof expected of them afterall isn't that what families are for?
