'Entangled' ..u gt d key !

hmmm...introspectin upon my daily chores...esp. d decision making processes...d critical conditions where its either black or white...d difficult times wen it jus becomes too too easy to quit!

introspectin..introspectin..i realize..dat hw much ever 'entangled' we gt into d complications of our work..d key..d solution often lies with us onli...esp, durin my wrkin n managin of We Volunteer, i realised, dat fr every thing u wanna judge, d number of pro's n con's r jus d same...its abt wat u wanna choose....d empty half of d glass or d full one !

n to no surprise, 90% wud go fr d empty one...dat makes dem more comfortable to crib about..to find faults in..& to bitch abt..coz den dats all dey gtta do !! nthin else !!

everytime, u want to take a decision...it depends on wat u want !! its never abt wat u can do..bt its al abt wat u wanna do !!! coz wen u find a 1000 reasons nt to follow d path u wanna take, u'll find another 1000 y u shud stick to dat path onli !!

so guess....its nthin bt jus weavin a web...depends how much u wanna weave to gt ur kill...or hw much u wanna weave jus fr d sake of it !!..wont make muc sense to u...lol..i knw !

bt again...steer it as u want...nt as d road goes..d road will be laid dwn on its own! :)

"for d one who weaves d web, its nt a maze to be entangled in!"

So many things i wanna do !!

well...its not recent that i gt bit by d whole web bug !! but yeh, web 2.0 jus doesnt seem to end amazin me all d time...!!

if u knw me well..or u've been readin my blog regularly (hw come, wen i dont write regularly :p)...u knw dat i'm always into jus any n all activities...i wanna play guitar n i also wanna gym..i wanna learn dutch n i also wanna do flash! i wanna make movies n i also wanna be an entreprenuer..i wanna learn programmin n i also wanna travel..i wanna wanna wanna...

jus so much i 'wanna' do !! d list never seems to end ! n i guess dats wid everyone ! rite ??

well..jus surfin thru, in d evenin tday..came across something dat may help me in organisin myself a bit !! yeah, a bit !! coz doin wat i've been tryin to do, since d time i realised i've grown up!, wouldnt be simple enough !!

43 things.com...well dis web 2.0 site is a gr8 thing...it jus lets u put up max of 43 things u wud wanna do ! n den blog abt it..post entries..ppl can comment on dem ! u can also find others who share d same "to do things" as yours...like i found 848 others who also wanted to learn flash :)

i guess, dis new thing wud make my tedious task of organisin activites a bit more simpler n jazzier :) i mean its kinda fun onli :)

so ..jus check it out while i sort my 'things' out :)

"happy thing'ing"

i walk a lonely road..d onli one i' have ever known !

nt jus singin away d 'boulevard of broken dreams' by greenday playin in my winamp...bt somethin dat jus used to haunt me every now n den...bt no more now !~

coz nw its jus a part of wat i call "my life" ! still skeptical as to whether i jus blog it out or nt..bt den wats d harm! i knw PSV..its jus U who's gnna be readin it :) so wats d harm!

dn knw...bt dere's jus been so much of loneliness since i started growin up..coz dat time i realized u call dis lOneLineSS..i loved it..i hate'd it...i enjoyed it...i cursed it...i ran away from it...i wished for it...i wanted it badly at times...but den didnt want it to be bad...

i guess jus cudnt differentiate between privacy n loneliness....sometimes bcame an open book...but den expected the same frm others too...

tried to be a friend at its best...yet cudnt find anyone whom i cud call a best frnd...though god did bless me jus miracles at times ('k')..yet i knw, dats nt gnna be fr long either..!!

love my family...dey love me..dn knw abt isha..bt yeh, others do...still dis strange feelin of coldness...always felt away..sometimes dey did make me realise dat..sometimes i jus wanted to realise dat !...is it me ? den y is it me ? how is it me ? how i cant be dat me ?!

do i like dis loneliness...i do at times..best part of it, u expect onli "NOTHING" frm others...so u don end up gettin hurt each time..u dn care dat dey didnt inform u abt dis n dat...u dn get hurt dey didnt think of u den..

so i guess...need no friends...no family...no one...jus me cud be enough...cant take dat feelin of gttin hurt everytime...jus givin fake smiles to ur frnds...fake fake fake everywhr...sometimes jus feel so much hatred fr dis world...everyone iut dere jus fr deir own selfish reasons...n i'm too amongst dem...still hv to crib abt it...

y jus cant we live it out alone onli....i guess its either dat i'm jus gttin too used to be livin in d online websphere onli ..or jus dat i've grown up enough to analyse d crude realities of d world !

or either...i was jus plain unlucky...dat i grew so dumb..so as to choose d wrong set of frnds..whom to care for...n also nt to care, abt dose who were d true ones...huh ! so its nt a "no gain-no loss:" thingi...bt jus loss loss n more loss all d way round....wish nw i'll be able to cling onto d true ones...n jus learn hw to nt adjust wid d others...

i jus dn knw wat all crap i've written out dere tday !!! u cud even vote it fr d worst blog ever by me !!!! ....bt jus one thing i wud say...it was straight as it is frm my head n heart...all workd up...jus hd enough...enough...n enough of enough.....

"crap right frm d heart..njoi"

Fire lit again !!!!!

the fire's been lit again....n i'm back !!!!!!!!!!! :) jus feels to so good, once again, to be able to pour my feelins out on dis notepad..feels gr8, once again, to be able to share my highs n lows of d day, wid u guys...

jus feels awesome !

D life is still goin thru so many ups n downs...been months i practised guitar..been months, i took my harmonium out for riyaaz...been months, i thought of anythin else except We Volunteer...been been beeen...i gtta accept i cant have it all..n will gt wat fate's gt in store

fr me... so i need nt crib abt d time gne by..need nt feel guilty of wat lisa said to me...need nt wrry abt wat'll happen to all dese poor lil' kids once i move outta chd..need nt wrry, whether i'll be able to do somethin construvtive towards dad's dream or nt !!

i need nt...rite ?? yea...i guess not...

atleast, wid dat thought, i can sleep wid much more ease ! gnite :)

n yea...i'm back ;D

Back to Being happy !!!

hey pplllll !! i knwbeen quite irregular abt bloggin in d past few months..bt nw..i promise i wont! (CAUTION: i've said dat a dozen times earlier too :p) ....

ok !! comin to d main subject -- "i'm HAPPY!!!"..hmm..why..how..wat..when?? don knw! jus knw dat i am HAPPY , aftr so long!!!!
it's like not dat i havnt been happy n smilin since ages! bt yea, being happy without any reason..which is i guess, actually, d happiness of d inner self ! was being experienced aftr a really long time!

puttin on some loud music..jumpin around..dancin in front of d mirror..tryin to do salsa wid mom :p ! ha..i enjoyed it all !! n bcoz i did all dis aftr so long, it was all d more special !

being dere for new years at goa also wasnt dat excitin fr me ! i mean, yea i did love d beaches..d sand..d clear waters n all!! bt yeah, i wasnt dat excited abt those crazy new year eve's beach shack parties or for goin bird watchin (umm..u knw wat i mean) on d crowded beaches, fr which any ordinary NORMAL guy wud be!!
i preferred being in those deserted areas..where i cud hav some peace wid myself n some close friends!
On New year's too, as planned earlier, it was a nice seafood special dinner wid some close pals, at d beach shack..right in front of the amazingly vast sea n it's more impatient tides..while d candle lights managed to help us see where our plates were :p !
aftr d dinner jus gt some beer cans n sat down to wait fr 12! 12 it struck n d sky was lit all bright by d innumerous fireworks! aftr seein all d jazz n lighting fr 20-30 mins...jus took our cans n lay down on d wooden beds jus metres from d shore....as soon as u lay down n ur eyes turn towards d sky..its jus "AWWWWEEEEEESOME!"
dn knw aftr how long, did i actually gt to notice so many stars together in a crystal clear, all glittery sky! d moon jus aptly placed as d jewel of d crown!

ahh! dat was a gr8 trip! had loads of fun! srry cudnt blog abt it separately..hv been quite busy managin to be able to cope up wid my new year's task list! till nw, jus barely livin upto d dad's office work, gym, web designin vocal riyaaz thingi! still hv to work real hard on d guitar n religious scriptures area!! y cant we hv a 48 hr day wid a single night in it!! wud be so amaziiiiiiiiiin !!!

i wish i wish n i wish!!! chal....as vrinda says "Life mein kabhi na kabhi fight to marni hi padhti hai"

"i jus loooooooooooooove my lifee!!!!! thnk u allllzzzzz"

Shall We Dance !!!

n yeaaaah!! i am nw !! ha....Dance is jus more dan a therapy o reduce weight...its jus such an amazingly beautiful expression of happiness..of well being..of being at peace from within !!

hmmm...n i gu8ess..its jus nt abt d classy ones like salsa, waltz n all..bt our dEsI bHaNgRa's even more powerful in sheddin away all sorrows....n jus livin it high n enjoyin d dance...d dance of life !!

jus d vibrations of d dhol r enough to make u forgt d whole world in an instant...n grasp ur feet wid such a power, u'd never feel to stop ! aaah...i cud jus go on n on explainin d kicks a punjabi gts wen he jus hears d dhol beats !!!!!!!!!! aaaah !

bt dance i guess is a gr8 destressing therapy too ! atleast works fr me! wenever u're feelin jus too low...too nagry..too frustrated..jus put on ur fav. music...n DAnce !!!! yeah..it does work!

ha..i've had instances wen my parents jus blew me off fr some reason..n d next moment i was doin bhangra in my room!! haha...nw stop imaginin d whole scene n laughin on it !!

so...wat u say ?? SHALL WE DANCE ??? :p

"dance - let d inner u take d hold :)"

Designin aint easy !!

ah !! nw photoshop aint dat easy as i usually thought it to be...designin fr d header took me a whole day!

n d biggest prob was , dat i had tomake a very "simple" header dat wud match wid d theme of our website...n i had to highlight d "vibration" theme n yet match it wid our "radio programme" thingi !!

man..like...nw i knw..a designer has to consider jus so many aspects while creatin anythin new ! n me jus being a total beginner at photoshop, i always ended up makin somethin too flashy n too extravagant ! yeh, dats coz i jus randomly applied all d effects available :p without applyin my brains :p :p

chalo...still i guess...nw d header looks pretty decent n does pass on d effect desired too! so all's well :) phewwww !

"playing wid colors is fun :)"

me's bAcK !!

hmm...feels so gud to be back on d blogosphere !! my life's been on a roller coaster ride for d past few months ! a lot happenin on one side, while on some others, hav to kickstart yet !!

life's gttin complex or maybe me's makin it so...jus in a phase wen u've to step outta d society n assume d role of a responsible individual !!

d transition aint easy, i can assure u dat!!! bt still, me's nt disarmin myself at d moment! d fire's still within, d dreams still high..i'm gnna take it all, even if dat makes me cry ! wow, dat rhymed :P

so srry, fr dose who care enough to read my blogs, i wasnt regular of lately !!
dese days, i'm jus workin on dad's website punjabivibrations.com to help it don a totally new avtaar !
as d hols r goin on, till 15th jan !..jus cant gt my hands off frm playin GTA VICE-CITY all d time..ha..i knw its quite an old game nw, bt me jus gt it nw !

will be leavin fr mumbai-goa on d 25th ! so hope to keep all of u updated !
n moreover, its nt jus gnna be a personal blog nw on!! coz i dn think , many of u wud be interested in readin all dat ! so i'll keep postin a lotta new stuff !!

nh thnx fr stickin on...dn worry...nw me's BACK !!!!

"i'm lovin' it :)"

LoVe tears..do tear !

LiFe is a sInE curve!!!

n i knw dat...bt jus cant accept it...who d hell wants to travel d recession, wen u've enjoyed so much being on d high tide!!

i've gt so much love...so much care...so much attention..i never even askd fr dat much god, bt i gt it!! silly me, didnt knw, i gt to return d same too :(

i wish i cud do somethin to shw up my love..to shw its expanse..to shw its depth..to shw its genuinity..to shw , it's really LOVE !

u gt hurt..bt u still dn knw, dat it is jus a miniscule as to wat d other went thru, bcoz of u!...u feel like cryin, bt u dont knw, d others already out of tears, bcoz of u !

u gt no answers, no explanations here...nthin to prove ur LOVE..nthin to reassure ur LOVE..u jus gt U ! n if dat U is as dUmB as ME, den U , like ME, gt nthin better to do in life..dan to crib..cry..n blog !

eyes cry..bt it hurts more wen d heart cries...even more, wen d one in ur heart cries!!!
statements r offensive, bt even more offensive r d feelins dat ur ownself develops towards urself !..ha..ever felt ur ownself hatin URself ! dIsGuStIn!!!!!!!!!

u always wanna make each n every moment special fr dat person...fr dat u frgt ur special moments...u always wanna make every expression a smile fr dat person, fr dat u frgt how to make urself smile...
bt in d end...nthin falls in order...bcoz god jus frgt to reduce d massive gap..in wat u wanna...n wat u do gt ! everythin's nt gt a remote comtrol aftr all !!

bt still...wen d feelins r true...u knw u're rite..
u gt tears instead of smiles..still u knw u're rite..
u hurt a heart..still u knw u're rite...

i wish..i never knew........dat i was rite !

Smiles on d face dn matter, matters d happiness in ur heart !

tears on d face dn matter, matters d sorrow in ur heart !

words spoken out dn matter, matters d feelins in ur heart !

d time, d msgs, d calls...nthhin matters....all dat matters is hw much "U" matter to me !!!

Being Single !!!!

Is it all dat bad Being Single ????.........................................................................

Do u really need someone else to make u realise ur own worth ???...............

Can someone really decide the happiness in ur life ??? ....................................

Can someone truly love u ???? .............................................................................

.......hmmm..........
no don't think i had a break up or somethin !!! ha...coz i've never been in a relationship for d past 20 yrs of my life since i landed up.....n yeh, if i really introspect seriously..i don think i should b sad fr it !!!
i'm pretty happy abt d way i've lived my life till now !!! yupp !!! i am !!!

bt yeh....jus had some certain incidents....which really made me ponder upon dis thing :

Is it dat bad Being SINGLE !!! ?????

sometimes ppl jus odn wanna accept dat dey can't always have wat dey desire !!!!
sometimes we jus wanna fall fr someone jus coz we gt no-one !!
sometimes we jus tend to get frustrated of being single !!

bt y ??? y do we make oursleves dat dependent on others !!! ofcourse..i knw...eveyrone wants to be loved...wants to be taken care of...wants to be pampered !!

its jus so complex !! i'm jus so used to being single..being independent...i've had my own nights cryin fr dat special someone i've been waitin fr .... i've had my mood swings...had my share of
all dat shitty stuff !!! bt its made me a lot more independent...has taught me hw to be happy wid wat u gt !!

n i'm jus more dan content wid life !!....hav such awesome friends...a wonderful family...my guitar...my PUNJABI music !!!
wat more does one want outta life !!! ha....i'm lovin it !!!

gt no tensions...no cryin over beer !! no senti conversations over d phone at 2 a.m...no endless arguments over how i express my love !! ha.......

jus happy wid d way i'm livin it !! feels bad wen i find others/my friends not being able to live it d way i do !!!!!
wish i cud do anythin.....hmmm....

" prefer waitin fr d perfect one..but how do u knw??? ;) "

back on track !!??!! or off ???

hmmm.....

life's gettin somewat.... complex... day by day !! but i'm fully enjoyin it !! finally...i've started livin d way of life i wanted to....yeh..obviously not exactly d same perfect life...bt still, atleast much better dan before....

i guess now...i am really on d right track !! atleast i guess so !!!....

finally...i'm tryin good enough to manage my college...my guitar classes...my indian 'classical' vocals (finally found a guru) ... n my gym !!!
its nt jus abt being able to attend all of dem...bt yeh..practice is needed too !! n i guess...if not fully...i've started doin dta partially..fr d start.....

still....some questions remain in d box !!
# should i go fr a core job in civil or shud i be satisfied wid my infosys job offer !!!
# should i appear fr GMAT dis year..seriosuly or not !!!
# should i really drink beer more dan once in a month !! (ha..i knw sounds stupid..bt i jus started it nw...n obviously..i dont think i'm keepin enough control on myself)
# is it her or HER ??!!
# should i gt a new haircut or nt ?!!

huh..life's jus too complex at times...even if its dese lil'-lil' questions !! dat jus bog u up !

hope i do find out d answers pretty soon !! huh !!!!

"nothin's complex....jus abt ur perception"

how to enjoy life ?? even a rickshaw ride cud help :)

hmmm....another mindblowin discovery frm my mever endin introspections !! hehehe...(yeh..i still cant stop laughin).

d story first :

about an hour back...had gone wid varun to Sec.34 market...to buy some stuff....almost dere, his bike broke down (nothin new!! ) ......well...after d shoppin n all was done..we gt a rickie (rickshaw) to go back home....excitedly we hopped onto d rickshaw (almost after ages were we sittin on it) ...............
bt den as we sat on it....a wierd idea came into my mind...obvioulsy had to be somethin crazy only...hehehe....
so d next instant...we both were wearin helmets...yeah...sittin in d rickshaw...wearin helmets...hahaha....
n NO....we weren't drink as u wud've thought...people jus gazed at us...n we also laughed back...coz yeh..our faces were toh anyways covered by d helmets...so wat's dere to hesitate...hah...
dis was a wonderful experience...really....we were enjoyin it totally n so were d ppl watchin us !! ha...
jus relaized...sometimes even d smallest or d wierdest of acts can make u so happy !!

bt yeh..it didnt end dere..after gettin back home...varun clicked a few pics frm his mobile...wid me drivin d rickie wearin a helmet....'m sure shahrukh wud've wanted to add d same scene in "main hoon na" too !! haha....

m sure...u too wud've dound dis act wierd n funny...bt wtz thr ?? u too can laugh !!!

jus wanna say...enjoy life...jus don care wat others wud think...coz i'm sure...d time's not gonna come back !!!

"life's too short to give a damn to wat OTHERS think !!!"

Life's beautiful :)) :)) ~!!

jus a phase....its gonna go....let it all be mine...till it's my time....let it be all mine.....

everythin's so beautiful....so calm yet so enthusiatic...so relaxed yet so pumped up !!!
well....do i know d reason...i do yeah...bt still i don't.....

life is jus full of crystal clear mysteries....

u knw dey r dere...bt u never kno dem...
u knw u gt ppl who u can count on...bt still u don....
u know ppl love u...still u don knw....

can i keep dese memories forever.....can i hold her forever....can i be wid dem all d time....can i jus put my life on a hold....can i always forgive dem so easily coz i'm happy....can i always be so nice to my family...can god always shower his blessings upon me....can i continue wid dis phase forever....can i stay on d top of my life's curve all d time...can i be high...can i live it high...jus can i .....can i ??

jus no compromises anymore....jus no hidden feelings anymore....jus no more tears hidden in d rain drops...jus no second thoughts....jus no harsh feelings...jus no hatred....jus no "no"...

"life's beautiful...dat's all i gotta say"

hmmm....so where was i !!!

yeh....we'd gt a room...bt hey it was already 7 pm..started gettin dark outside....so without wastin anytime...me n sushie toh got ready ...as we didnt want to lose on d shoppin' time !!!
ha....finally, after managin to get Sirius n Kiddo outta deir sleep...we left fr d market....found a nice cool tibetan shop...where all d 4 of us gt some nice kool tibetan shirts fr a cheap bargain !!
d best part abt shoppin dere was...firstly, d big smile on all d shopkeepers face...not dat dey knew we were tourists n would shop a lot frm deir shops bt dats' jus d way dose ppl r !!! n moreover....d things r jus so cheap or atleast reasonable...dat u relaly don need to bargain !!! phew !!!!!!!
well....after a lil' bit of shoppin....we were jus searchin fr some nice place to dine !!! i toh, still wanted to go back to J.J's cafe (where we had lunch) n have some thupa !!!!!!!!!! bt naah....d others werent dat interested....
so we finally ended at some italian restraunt....d glass door of d restraunt read "delicious food...soothing ambience....n handsome waiters"....yeh so obviously, sushie n kiddo toh jus wanted to rush in !!!
nice place bt d menu jus consisted of 5-6 items ...half of which werent available dat time....bt d whole ambience...d place...d arrangement...was so good....
i'll post up a pic soon...of d place..n hey..dey also had dis playful pomerian "samba" as an added attraction...so until d order was ready (45 mins to be precisE) we preffered playin wid her !! she was jus such a cute pommie....actually all lil' dogs r !!
now...coz it was d first nite at Mc leodganj...n we hadnt done anythin crazy...Sirius was a bit adamant on takin some beer to d hotel !! hidin it in sushie's bag...we finally gt it somehow into our room...
i toh jus had 6-7 sips n dere i was ....all dyin to fall in d bed !!!! ha..i'm always like dat....jus a lil' bit alcohol in..n dere' i go !!! not jus used to it ;)
i really don remember wat happened after dat....bt yeh...d whole nite i cudnt sleep bcoz i jus felt so restless...to make it even more worse...all d windows of our 3m by 4 m cubicle/room were closed as sushie was down wid cold...n none of d windows had a wire mesh !!
poor kiddo had kept on massagin my head...so dat i wud sleep somehow !! bt noh !! jus couldnt....
n yeh.,...so finally, d next mornin i realised my mistake....n swore..."i wud never drink again" ......oh reali ???????

back to d trip-----

well....leavin early in d mornin at 6.30 seemed to be pretty intelligent on our part until d bus gt a flat tyre jus after half an hour !!!! n all above dat dis crappy HARYANA Roadways bus jus wont go above 40 km/hr even if it was a straight empty road !! all jerky..messy n curvy...thank god, i still managed to be fine...as in didnt feel nauseatic n all !! d bus was jus till kangra...so we had to take another one to dharamsala n den frm dere one to Mcleodganj (fr which we had to walk another half an hour) bt finally..... we managed to reach McLeodganj by 3.30 in d evenin.....

totally dead n cravin fr food...we jus found such a sexy place named "JJI cafe" also called "3 Exile brothers cafe".....man ....amazin food....gr8 music...n obvioulsy an extremely beautfiul view of d valley !!! wat else wud one want ?? huh ?? n yeh..d food was jus so so cheaap !!!! "thupa's" ...oh man..its a tibetan dish...in desi form i wud explain dem as 'noodles mixed in soup wid loads of veggies' .....

ah.......so so so gooood !! after food, nw it was time to find a place to stay ! roti , kapada aur makan !! lolz...found many nice n affordable ones bt dey jus didnt allow more dan 2 in a room...whereas all 4 of us wanted to stick in a single room ! bt yeh.,where dere's a will dere's a way !

in d whole of McLeodganj, we finally managed to find one guest house dat gave us one room...again a small double-bed one..ha...we payed double bt yeh gt another extra mattress...bt yeh, we jus didnt use it at all !! ha...4 ppl on onbe double bed only !! ha....n as sirius described it, we discovered such new shapes to sleep in bcoz of d space constraints....S-shape....P shape...O shape !!! yea...was fun only :)

so finally...n officially now we were in Mcleodganj !! gt a decent (kinda) place to stay !!!! n yeah...it was already 7 p.m. !!!!!!!!
so now....we had exactly 1 n half day to discover as much as we cud of dis paradise ......hmmm....i knw 1 n half days were jus too too short bt yeh..couldnt help !!!

so....wat happened after dat ??? did we really go out !! or did it again start rainin !?? (as it was wen we arrived) !!!......wat all did we do d next 2 days ??? was sirius successful in his hunt for a cute...nice...sweet...decent....homely...blonde grl (dat combination's impossible) !! dis n many more mysteries yet to unfold !!!!
