Spiralling through time

Some of us think that we have loads of time, some think we do not. Some people say that whatever they do eats up all their time. Still, sometimes people think that their time may pass quickly. We all are so demanding on our time.

Time is a infinite spiral, we revolve round and round enjoying the roaler coaster ride, until it becomes smaller and smaller and we begin to suffocate and think that our time is over.

The slide is smooth, no one can rest for a while, still we demand vacations and rest. Life is a time roaster, it is best if we enjoy it.

Dreaming

Requiem for a dream, but whats the addiction, it is to dream more, lying on the street, what this tiny cute creature can do, but dream, maybe she wants to be the chalk girl, maybe she is the chalk girl and is mocking the world, her eyes behold her dream, her smile reveals she is loving it.

Blank Sheet of Paper

Horrifying, Romantic, Solitude, Imagination, the whole rainbow encompassed by a blank sheet of paper.

Inspired by Tim McGraw song titled "Blank sheet of paper"

I'm just a blank sheet of paper
This fool's about to write you a letter To tell you that he's sorry For the way he did you wrong, To ask for your forgiveness For leavin you alone

He's been lookin down at me, It seems like forever.
He takes the top on and off his pen, It's like he can't decide just what he wants to say
If he'd just tell the truth I'd be on my way

But he just stares at me And I just stare at him.
He don't know where to start To say he doesn't want it to end.
Now it's one hour later And I'm still a blank sheet of paper.

The sunlight is comin through the curtains, He's almost asleep pen in hand
There's a tear in his eye That refuses to fall If it would land on me That would say it all

But he just stares at me And I just stare at him
He don't know where to start To say he doesn't want it to end
Now it's four hours later And I'm still a blank sheet of paper

Oh but he just stares at me And I just stare at him
He don't know where to start To say he wants you back again
One broken heart later And I'm still a blank sheet of paper

Mangoes

Luscious, succulent mango fruit!
How do we guard you from the brute?
King of fruits, without dispute
To you we all humbly salute!

Ripe, and unripe in forms many,
Enjoyed universally by all and any!
Ah., delicious and sweet as sugar cane,
Protecting you can be wildly insane!

Your name derives from the word "mAngaai"
You are linked to the legend of Surya Bai**!
Food of the gods! How you enchant!
O’ tangy Drupe! Wishes you grant!

Akin to Maya - you are the fruit of gold,
That sages in Arunachala have extolled;
Witness to battle and thunder storm
You let Soorapadman take your form!

O’ earthy, ripe "Sappattai" delight,
Envy of the "Alphonso" this starry night!
Gazing at onlookers from the compound wall,
How gracefully you sway amidst trees tall!

Then, in the quiet afternoon Chennai sun,
When the siesta of ladies has just begun,
Fearless street urchin and vagabond alike
Gear up towards you to aim and strike.

Alas! Shouting to protect is of no avail,
For the wily ones on the prowl prevail;
As adroitly they grab and you will snatch
Pray, can any match a more princely catch?

A well directed stone at you they throw
Following victory cries of "kokku"* ru kO!
Ah.. heavenly "kokku" sweet as cane,
Yes, protecting you is indeed in vain!

Personal Comment : They taste even better when you get to
eat them for free from your landlord !!

Travel Guide

The SEXY person in the picture pointing his finger is a GENIUS. Standing on a corner in Paris, he can tell you what Rue, what direction is the destination. Well, the genius has trained himself in his art, he says,

If someday, after marriage I come to Europe I should be able to show my spouse the place around without any hassle.

Well, whatever the reason, give this guy a map, and stick to him, you would be more informed than a local !

Cheers !

Parisian Weekend

Paris, the city of Light, the most popular tourist destination. Never had I expected what all happened on the trip.

The iternary of the trip was to board Thalys early morning 7am from Rotterdam, meet other IITB junta at Notre-Dame, see places and in the night crash beneath Eiffel tower, a night-out!

Me, and Satos boarded the Thalys, got bored because the train won't run at 300 kph as expected till Brussels. I went and sat at the Restrobar in the train. I had read somewhere that French people are kind of rude, so I didn't expect the train journey to be a lot interactive one. But, it turned out that the bartender was a Dutch guy. After staying in Netherlands for a month or so, it felt like I was one of the Dutch people. The bartender, Bart, was a really nice guy and to my much surprise he knew a lot of India and its people.

I had heard that Asian people are not so much respected in the West, but for the first time in my life I was hearing praise for Indian people from a Dutch (anyone from a non-asian country, actually). Bart, was telling, that he had heard that he has seen a lot of "smart, young Indian guys come to Europe for work", and "India is growing too fast". The train picked up speed and I moved on, after buying a coffee from the bar.

I was sitting in the bar, cherishing the 150 bucks coffee I had just bought, and thinking about the French, trying to predict what will happen if in Paris, I asked someone a address and he might give me a cold look, when a French women started a conversation with me.

Thalys had picked up speed, and was racing against the bushes at 300kph. I started feeling a slight discomfort, maybe I needed a breakfast. The French woman started talking to me, and we had a really lengthy conversation. She was a singer in a French band, and soon the whole orchestra joined us in conversation. Soon, Avijit also joined in.

Paris, was a little colder that day. Forecast was a slight breeze. Notre Dame de Paris, a magnificent cathedral, we were standing near the gate when Anchit spotted us. Soon there was a lot of "junta" from IITB.

Moving on, Inani (nickname suppressed) had the idea of band pic ! It was one of the major photo shoot attraction of the Parisians that day. Someone told me, we had featured in the Parisian Daily that day!.

Well, that day most of the trip was touristy.

Interesting things were about to start. We went to this place called, Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. The cathedral was on a small hill, was really nice ... blah, blah, blah. One could have a nice view of Paris from the cathedral, so people were sitting on the stairs and watching a really bad guitarist play some really arbit songs.

Well, suddenly, I wanted to do something worth remembering in Paris. College is about to end and there wasn't too many incidents worth remembering and talk about.

Well, after watching the movie Eurotrip 10-15 times, you really start feeling that Europe is the place to have your wildest fantasies out [:D].

I convinced Sajid, that we are going to play B.C. Sutta (Zeest Band) there in front of the crowd. There were not so many Indians also there so it was more of a good chance to do something crazy ! In the beginning, only me and Akhil were enthu enough to do it. Others were like, "tujhe chadd gayi hai", "NO MAN ! comeon", "tu pagal hai", etc etc. In the end the result was --

Rupal didn't shoot the part where we introduced ourselves.

Sajid : Hello everyone, we are a group of Indian students. We would like to play a song for you. This is a popular football song. So sit back and enjoy.

And we started to play ...

Later ...

Subrat : Amazing, phod diya

Sajid : these people were laughing at us, we were so much out of sync.

Rupal : There was a Indian girl, she was so embarrassed but she was laughing a lot, i guess she enjoyed it.

Shyam : Ohh man ! I just cannot believe what we just did !

Anvesha : Please edit the scenes aur mujhe nikaal do unmein se.

Akhil : yaar .. mazaa aa gaya

Paris day did not end here...
