FREE CHAI


Hey friends, seems like we have lost the right of attributing our college with the names like "kanjus", "makkhichus" etc., as they offered free chai(tea) during the event of December, 2nd.

Earlier it seemed they were serving us because they thought we were guests. But they confirmed that it was meant for students only.

In the adjoining pic my friends Girish, Anupam and Devendra are enjoying the tea but they had to take a heavy dose of "Hajmolas" as they couldn't digest this. :D

P.S.: This post is fun-based: no offends meant against anyone/institute.

Load Shedding [IMPOROVED]

How many times does this happen with you??..That you are worried about the most "anxious-anxiety" of your today’s life; and that very-thought is sucking the peace of your mind.??

..I guess this happens with almost all of us very regularly; if not daily...!!

Without going into the reasons of such a situation (because I already mentioned them in my post “Drinking and Smoking” earlier); I would like to repeat that "we all have some concerns and apprehensions about something or the other very frequently in our lives". (I know this sounds like a Mahatma's "pravachan")

And in the very post (Drinking and Smoking) I mentioned that a "good friend" can heal us better than many other trusted pain relievers.

Simply by sharing of our negative-thoughts with a trusted friend; we solve more than half our problem. This load “shedding” assures us from time-to-time; that there is "someone" who cares to listen to your ”bakwas” :P (24x7x365)

No matter how "useless" and "negative" our concerns may be; this buddy listens to you in all times and without giving a second thought; tries to make you calm. I've been experiencing this from quite sometime and have been cherishing the moment. It feels great to know that I have some really nice people who can be trusted.

And even if they have no solution to my problems, they help in throwing all the dirt out of my brain then and there. This does my job, now my brain is calm enough to deal with the solution of the problem rather than dealing with the anxiety associated with it.

Though in the process we risk making them mad and frustrated. hehehe.. but who cares..(okay it was a lame joke)..!!

But at the end of the day it makes your bondage, your friendship, (OR your relationship in that case) even more stronger than it already is.

P.S.:- It was just a small thought which clicked in my mind;and I managed to extend it into a “long-enough” post. And if you are reading this line; I made you read it as well….!!..yay\m/:D

Being in Twenties...!!!


UMM....I wanted to share it with all you guys reading this blog..Its something which can be called a personal experience.
Being in TWENTIES-

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like.You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and
further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.

You want to settle down for good because now all of a sudden that becomes top priority. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.You begin to think a companion for life is better than a hundred in the shack and for once you would not mind standing tall for that special someone which otherwise you had never thought of until now.

You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

My Journey In The Time Machine


In class twelfth and first year of engineering, I went through a very good habit of daily diary entry. But I lost touch with it as I moved into 2007; for those who don't know, diary entry is a very effective stress buster and works better than a pain killer or sleeping pills: according to many. (Though, I never tried any of the two:P).

This Diwali while cleaning my room I went through my diaries of 2005 and 2006. And it felt like I was living in that moment once again. Though when I was writing those pages; it was just because I had no one to share my self with so I found a friend in my diary. But while going through them once again; it felt as if Anurag Kaushik of that time was conveying some messages and lessons to the Anurag Kaushik of today. He was insisting me to stop making some mistakes which were a common part of me. At the same he was asking me to care more about people who meant something for me.

Here are some
not-so-personal quotes from Anurag Kaushik of 2005 followed by the one of 2006.

2005:
# Think about options other than silly “engineering”. (Yes, I hated it even before I entered into it.):P

# “Asked Mr. ***** to control his tongue and actions, what a fattu he is, complete sitti-pitti-gum”

# “Attended the most boring B’day party of my life, who plays antakshari when you have enough space and music system handy??”

# “***** offered to dance with me, what a moment.” (I don’t remember this incident now, but its written in it.)

# “Took the bike out for first time, my first encounter with traffic police, must say I am smart enough for them”

# “Hot and humid class at PLASMA, I am leaving this place if there is another power cut.” (I didn’t leave it till it was farewell; they said you must leave now:D)

# “Have to announce schedule for Football selections tomorrow” (though I never played football in my life at school; except a few exceptions :P).

# “Clubs’ installation ceremonies are most boring place to be; why do you have to install a club every year? We don’t pay 50 rupees anyway; most of us are here for refreshments”.

# “Stood behind 3 ministers and Jaipur MP for 2 and half hours, and at the end you get no food, SPS, Airport sucks, at least for today.”

# “City looks wonderful from Nahargarh fort, what a view.”

# “****** Sir to take chemistry class; and a REAL class of me, now I am gone. He will eat me alive.”

# “Fought with the service center man, he didn’t return me my bike on time. He had to serve me first at the end.”

# “Saw a sad break up scene in front of my eyes, man…once in a lifetime scene. Sometimes I feel girls are too mean when they say good bye to their guy. They can learn to control their tongue.”

# “A drunkard slammed his car into the parking of tuition; luckily no one was there except vehicles.”

P.S.: No grudges against anyone now. I was a school going student at that time. :P

2006:
# “External came from Kota, a very good lady, I got sample no.17 Ba(NO3)2

# “Got a-kind-of-farewell from school, met all teachers while receiving admit cards. Why only my batch gets no official farewell.”

# “Vigorous revision session at PLASMA; I left it; was making me more nervous.”

# “Being an adult makes you feel like being something.”

# “Farewell at PLASMA; I am sure gonna miss this place forever.”

# “Distributed Fool’s day party cards to four.” (what a day it was):D

# “JEE-2006 at ICG; what a waste of time; wish I could bunk it like another friend of mine.” (though I didn’t do that bad:P)

# “Everything seemed to be happening for the last time, for some strange reasons.” (the more mature me)

# “What an adjustment, 13 people in an Auto-cum-tempo, I sat in the door. That too when you are passing through jungle, this place needs better transport.”

# “Shantikunj is such a peaceful place, the self help makes you feel like home, had a semi-quarrel within us but the positive energy was notable.”

# “We tried playing T&D in bus but elders stopped us when we disturbed driver while he was driving, then came to the boring antakshari; HELL; I had to turn ON the stereo; dance feels better.”

# “I today realized that I had excellent scope in photography.” (I took some really rare snaps)

# “Lunch at ‘moolchand’ on way to Delhi, couldn’t believe this place had such a sophisticated restaurant.”

# “Visited SKIT and Gyan Vihar, had to walk through the Jagatpura area; GV felt like Hogwarts.” (Biggest illusion :X)

# “Throat infection, I sound like a frog. Silence is gold for now.”

# “Well am I not good enough in making friends??, I can never get bored. When there are people around.” (Ya good in making new, bad in maintaining them.):P

# “GVSET finalized, date confirmed as August 7th ’06.”

# “If this was an officers’ party I better would not be one, they were dying for food as if there was nothing at their homes.”

# “Holiday at GVSET because of campus placement drive for seniors” (I didn’t see this day yet for our placements);)

# “Seniors stopped me at thadi, there was some strike sort of, I finally managed to run away. They took a few to University campus for show of strength”. (agru I hope you’ll never forget this day):D

# “It feels different to be an Ex-student, I felt like an alien in the place where i spent so much time. No duties, no responsibilities, come as guest and leave like one.” (After Subodh winter carnival)

# “New Year celebration with school friends; nice gathering. Some people always remain dear no matter how far time takes you from them.”

P.S.:- After flowing through the past in the time machine of diaries I am planning to start it all again from 2010.:)

The Story Of A Pagal and A Doctor



Written By:
Stuti Narnolia


The more you run away from something, more closer you get. This happened to me also, even worst then it should be when I tried to run away from Bandar (I will introduce him later on). Actually that naughty specie owned a website, where he used to discuss about 'jump' in his life.

Actually that monkey was no one but my brain doctor-dangerous one with no patient. You must be thinking now that I am a mad person. But that is not at all true. Unluckily, I had to become only patient of him for his income, because he was very good friend of mine. One day he asked me to go through his website. I started imagining what a mental doctor that too a monkey can write. If I guess something it may include how many times he had jumped on trees for search of jadi-butis like medicine for his patients, sorry patient.

There are many other things which I will tell u later. Obviously, a mentally fit human will not want to be tagged mad, so I remained at a distance. This was the thing, I was running off from. My phone rang, cell beeped on with msg "visit the blog", this was not the last, my email-id's had the same messages, not even spared mine orkut, facebook accounts etc. The website became nightmare about which I used to dream even at the day time, how horrifying it could be!!

A smile came to my face when I got solution for this. Yes, I got an idea. It was that I would lie to him that I had visited. And I did that. The day was happiest day of my life. But, that happiest 'DAY' remained for a 'day' only when my mobile beeped again next day with message from Bandar (still saved with same name in my contacts). I opened my inbox and the text was "I could not see you in the visit list. Post comments on each blog there.” My face turned from “:)” to “:(”. How could I forget that the site was of mental doctor who must have put his mind infinitely while creating that website which was horrible as per my imagination?

To visit the site was troublesome task for me; just imagine how difficult it would be to post comments for each post. I started calculating not mathematically but in the same way as doctor monkey could .To my surprise the result was mathematical expression for I was 200% confirmed that is
no. of posts= no. of trees he had jumped from the last second till now

Now every thing was clear in my mind. I was confirmed that the bandar’s banana-diet has increased. So he really wants to turn me 'mad' and he is playing this game. One thing came to more in my mind which I would discuss later. I said to myself, “jo bhi ho jaye ye nahi hone dungi". I neglected his msgs: "my net is not working" .But one day I was caught online. He started complaining in the same speed at which he eats banana. I had no answer. But suddenly an answer came to my mind and I quickly pressed unarranged letters on keyboard; the outcome was "I tried posting comments but your website is not accepting. Check there is some technical problem".

As always his reply was ready. He explained me “How to post a comment” in an elaborate manner as I was a KG student. He continued “I have invitation for you”. I got surprised how monkey doctor could give party, because he never did so. But sadly there was nothing like party because the next horror on my g talk was “I have sent you invitation to join www………com and write for it. Accept it. When will be your next blog ready??” I read ten times the above line to assure that my eyes were ok. I found my pc oscillating in front of my eyes.

At last, I wrote. This horrible story is the result. Hope, you know this intelligent doctor... If not I would tell you in the next one, with more detail on Dr. Bandar and more brain eating story.

Strings Of My Brain


A new thought out of my brain....
"Life is a uni-directional journey, starting at childhood and finishing at old age;
Each day comes only for once, its upto us what we make out of it...
There is no reverse Gear, So cherish every moment of it with full Zeal and Energy...
This moment will never come back ever...!!".....

Few But True...!!

There is one life and its a long journey;
There is one traveller and the road is sunny;

The only help is the one so divine;
God is there to keep me fine;

And there are friends on their own roads;
Fighting their way in their own modes;

It is always a well needed motivation;
That they all come to give me a notion;

They give me the light to move on right;
To make me laugh when there is a moonless night;

So what that in number they are so few;
What matters is that they are all true;

Its a proud to be a part of them;
They are true friends and are my Gem..!!

Adieu: India's Got Talent


The first "error-ful" post is here for you...!!:P
Well sonali bendre has been a favourite of mine frm a long time and her dressing sense has always been classic, extra-ordinary and graceful...

her dress was beautiful as usual in the finale....!!
but in between the perforrmances she appeared in Saree while talknig about individual performances giving insight to the way they have been performing in the past...!!

and she was looking stunning in that...!!...Gorgeous and what not...words are less to describe her beauty even today when she has stopped working in the movies after completing her golden phase in the Bollywood...!!

Now that the show has come to an end i wish we get to see more of her soon..!!...much before the next season of IGT...!!

Kirron Kher And Shekhar have been the two of the best judges i've ever seen on Indian television...there were no cat fights on IGT among judges like other shows....
it was a show which we watched with our families very comfortably with decent and graceful talks....
and common people took part in the show very comfortably from all and i mean ALL sections of the society...!!
and we got a very talented winner "Prince Dance Group"..the group which used least resources and maximum talent...!!
and other participants were mind blowing as well...each and every one of them..its not even possible to name them all..!!

In the end....nice show after a long time ...!!
i'll eagerly wait for its next season...!!

Adieu IGT..!! come back next year with more talent...!!:)

Bear Grylls: The Born Survivor






If you don’t follow “Man vs Wild” on Discovery Channel; you have till now missed a very important necessity of human life: the art of survival. Man vs Wild is one of the few shows I watch on TV. And when I am just playing with my TV remote; if I see Bear Grylls appearing on my TV screen, even my remote denies working. Forget alone pushing it’s buttons.


Few basics on which he concentrates:

  1. Positive attitude in every situation; a desire to live and survive in any case.
  2. Courage to take risk. It’s for your life.
  3. In particular, he tells that burning of fire at the place of night stay/ camp gives him a new hope and well needed energy to move on.
  4. Eat whatever and whenever you can. (but something which doesn’t harm your health and body).
  5. Be cautious, proactive and athletic; take care of your body by fulfilling basic needs like, food, water, sleep and sufficient body temperature.
  6. Utilize every resource which is available; something which might seem to be a waste at one time; may help you in saving your life at other.
  7. Don’t go against the nature, but take it’s help in your survival.
  8. Maintain a proper body fitness.
  9. There are many other small and big things which he keeps on telling but I don’t remember all of them right now; may be you can remind me of some in your comments if you follow him.
  10. Well when there is nothing at point number 9; what are you searching on tenth??:P

Some info on Grylls from Wikipedia:

He’s got a lovely family of his; containing a wife (Shara Grylls ), and three sons Jesse, Marmaduke and Huckleberry (born 15 January 2009 via natural childbirth on his houseboat).

In December 2008, Grylls suffered a broken shoulder while kite skiing across a stretch of ice during an independent expedition to climb a remote unclimbed peak in Antarctica. Travelling at speeds up to 50 km/h, a ski caught on the ice, launching him in the air and breaking his shoulder when he came down.

On 16 May 1998, Grylls achieved his childhood dream (an ambition since his father gave him a picture of Everest when he was eight) and a record, as the youngest Briton, at 23, to summit Mount Everest, just eighteen months after breaking his back. (this record was later surpassed by others).

The show has featured stunts including Grylls climbing cliffs, parachuting from helicopters, balloons, and planes, paragliding, ice climbing, wading rapids, eating snakes and crocodiles, wrapping his urine-soaked t-shirt around his head to help stave off the desert heat, drinking urine saved in a rattlesnake skin, wrestling alligators, field dressing a camel carcass and drinking water from it, and free climbing waterfalls. Grylls also regales the viewer with tales of adventurers stranded or killed in the wilderness.

First Day Of Class-XI


Well Aditi first of all stop criticizing yourself; your post ("Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life") is quite good.

And now moving ahead with my post; let me share the first day of class XI with you people. Few of you already know but for others it’s the first time that I am making it public. On first day of class-XI (July 2004), we were made to sit in makeshift classrooms because new rooms for science section were being constructed on the third floor of the school building.

In the make shift classrooms the first lecture (periods as we used to call them at that time) was of “Library”. We went there and came back. And guess who was waiting for us on the door of the classroom: Mr. B. K. Sharma (The Self Proclaimed “strict”-mathematics teacher). Though I respect him for his help during class XII when I needed support but academically I rate him 7 out of 10. He started with some famous dialogues of his to which we were alien as it was just the first day; and then he started teaching us “SETS”, the first chapter of our NCERT book. I was sitting on the first bench with my friend Abhishek Jain. New students were a little low on confidence and we made full use of it by horrifying them of some rules which never existed. Few of them were so scared that they bunked the “assembly” session to save themselves from being punished. :P

Well moving ahead with the class. B. K. Sir started the class with a simple question and he selected me for that (As I was sitting in front). He asked “select the SET of most beautiful girls from this class”. When I thought of class XI; I knew that it would be all about fun and masti all around but I wasn’t expecting this question from a senior mathematics teacher. He insisted me to answer. And I was like what the hell..??!!...

He then asked a girl to select a set of “most handsome boys” from the class. Only thought which came in my mind was that this man is “drunk”…he is gone crazy….next he’ll ask some one to propose a girl and ask for a date or something..but thankfully B. K. Sir stopped there only..and when both of us were looking at our classmates to answer the questions asked; he stopped us from looking behind and said “Beta, beauty cannot be defined in a set; only measurable quantities are counted in set theory”. Well of course I later realized that had I answered the question the way I thought it was to be answered I would definitely be hit by the remaining girls by their shoes (thankfully they couldn’t wear sandals in school):D

B. K. Sir kept haunting me with that question entire session; and kept reminding me of it occasionally; “Maine pehli class me ek bande se kaha tha to select a set of most beautiful girls of the class, and he gave me no answer.” This instance brings a small smile on my face every time I remember it.

This day only we were told that our physics teacher is a person who did his engineering from Bangalore and would join us in few days. Later it came out to be the biggest disappointment in form of Manu Dev Bharadwaj Sir. He was having the knowledge of engineering but had no idea of CBSE and pattern. Infact he made his question papers in complete engineering style; giving 4-5 questions and not following any blue print given by CBSE; he faced many complaints but I saved him many times just because he was good with me and gave me good marks. Sonia Bhansali mam was really good; in teaching she was 6/10 but was very supportive and experienced enough for being a chemistry teacher.

Another feather in the crown of first day was the MMWT class (Multimedia and Web Technology). Praveen sir (the IP teacher) was a little strict in his first class; while Ritu mam of MMWT was modest enough to announce that she will make her question papers from her class notes and also she started her class with HTML (simplest language in programming history: as per me). This resulted in a mass turn around. Nearly 40%-60% IP students switched over from IP to MMWT. Praveen sir was horrified as he didn’t know the reason behind this sudden wave of events.

English was given to Sarika Gaur mam who later came out to be my house master. In all XI was a fun class with a lot of bunks and duty sessions by DSWs (Deans Student Welfare). Though I still have some grudges with the DSWs for the series of events in class XII; but in XI they were cool enough to be mentioned in this blog.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life

As i said i am an inexperienced writer..with my first writing experience..so forgive me for all the errors..and the boredom u suffer from while reading this one..
from next time i will try to make things interesting and humorous..
ok so here goes my first post..

Recently i met a very old buddy of mine who was suffering from the most common disease named "Who to be?"...Should we be a person who keeps changing according to how people want us to behave like or just be a person who we are...whether people like us or not.. I bet everyone of us has this question or lets say a dilemma.
I suggested him to be a person he is most happy to be but i knew it is not even possible for us to be ourselves at times as we all want to be loved by the people around us,the people whom we love and many others. we want to be loved by all and appreciated . None of us is ready to let people point towards our negative traits.
But its not at all possible to keep everyone happy and change according to what they want as every other person expects us to be how they want us to be. Leave others..lets take our example...are we not amongst those people who wants our friends or anyone to treat us the way we want to.
Since it is not possible to be so much flexible like a FLUBBER ... it is more important to be yourself. At least then you are keeping one person totally happy and completely satisfied..and thats "YOU".
This never means that you are being selfish and just thinking bout yourself. Instead you are taking the first step to be a real human being.
The people for whom you mean something are happy in your happiness..and yeah its still true...even after living in such a selfish era...there are few people who find happiness being in "YOUR" company ...and the people who don't find..they simply don't deserve the REAL YOU.. and for that you are not at all responsible.. It's people's thinking and you can't change it.
Try it yourself...be the person what people want you to be...change and behave according to people ...experiment with yourself.
You will always find something missing out of you.
And the moment you start behaving like yourself you will find that missing thing back in you....Don't believe what i wrote...but at least experiment it and find the real you and the real happiness of your life.
Many things are missing out here...thats due to my inexperience in writing and due to incapability to express myself. so i guess i shud be forgiven keeping that in mind. ;)
I guess the topic of this post makes it more clear...
well it was my Today's Fortune too..(orkut)

Whats New On Korner Kafe??


Hey friends, we have launched a new brand of coffee on korner kafe;
"Aditi Jain", is made up of a lot of creativity, energy, talent and new ideas. I am sure we all will enjoy this sweet and salty combination and will definitely gain a lot of energy from her posts.

You're welcome Aditi on the kafe as a team member after your active presence as an important and regular member. (Now i am tired of all the heavy words; dunno how i did it :P)

Colour the kafe with your flying colours, we are waiting.!!..

And after hearing complaints regarding "complicated-comments-posting-structure" from few readers, I've changed the structure of comments. I hope now the entire thing will be easier to deal with for new users also. You can select "Google Account" or "Name/URL" mode for simplicity. Please avoid anonymous posts unless you really want to hide your identity for a good and uniquely different comment.

So mates, now you have no excuses for not posting comments. :D
Hope you'll like it.

Ragging Is A Crime

Finally my university theory exams are over. And I can’t tell you the amount of relief. And I feel proud of myself on appearing with my best. It feels nice when you give your 100% no matter what the result is. At least you know that you did what you could do.

Went across a news in a newspaper few days back, in Kirorimal College of Delhi University, two students were expelled for ragging a junior in the hostel and one other was suspended for bringing that junior to the other two. Both guys are also facing double FIRs from the college and the parents of the victim. The victim student is said to be in a state of trauma and shock. Its sad to see, two careers getting ruined just for some quick and unnecessary fun. Why don’t we people take college management seriously when they ask us “not to do” a certain things?(ragging is one of them). Why do we feel so big in breaking rules?...okay breaking of rules is a different thing, but ragging in itself is a big crime as per the latest guidelines of supreme court and if found guilty, there is an enforced provision of an FIR from the college management. If this is not done then management faces the axe too. Rules have gone punitive and are no more mutually respectful. Hence it’s my humble request from all of you not to be part of any sort of “ragging” in or outside your college campus (or anywhere). Not even an intro. You’ll get to know your juniors by mutual interaction as the time passes. May be through fresher parties and all….

So enjoy and have fun with your juniors but don’t rag.

Suggest me some ideas on what you want me to write in my next post. I am blank now after exams and can’t think of any interesting topics to write on.

You Are Free At Last

A brief candle; both ends burning
An endless mile; a bus wheel turning
A friend to share the lonesome times
A handshake and a sip of wine
So say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything
The future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird
You're free at last.

My Relationship Status [CENSORED AND UPDATED]

One day while I was surfing on a social networking site I received a friend request from a girl of my college. She was in a different unit and was one year junior to me. After initial rounds of formal chatting; we started discussing our relationship status. To my surprise she was deeply shocked when I told her that I was “single”. She thought I was trying to flirt. She later confirmed this as well. When I asked her why she thought that I was lying; she replied, “how can a third year engineering student with an “English-CBSE” kind of background be single? (These are not my views; she believed so). After a long debate I managed to make her accept as true that I was “actually” “single”. It’s been a long time since then but that chat has stunned me. Why is it expected of everyone to be “committed” on “time”?? After all, it was not for the first time that I was asked this question of why I was still single. Even kids of junior school levels have started dating now days!!

And then people reach to a conclusion: there must be some problem with this guy. He must be really immature or girls must not find him attractive at all. I don’t think either of the above is true though. Earlier even I used to think that I have no quality which a girl looks for in his “guy”. But this hypothesis of mine was rejected by my friends (girls) at several stages of life. Coming back to topic; I was told that my cool and calm nature was something to look for. The way I remain cool and calm, having nothing to do with the rest of the world, my self-dependency, not running after other girls like the rest of the boys do, my behavior and attitude towards friends; but I was also told that I must speak and express a little more than what I’ve been up to.

As life moved on, I decided that I won’t fall into a relationship until I was “mentally prepared” for it. It’s because of this reason that I am still single. Reason behind writing this post is that I am nearly tired of answering the question of being “single” till now. (most people don’t believe me when I say that I am single!!) The answer is natural and straightforward, “I am not yet geared up mentally for a committed relationship”. That’s it. And that I haven’t yet met my “princess”. I mean I liked a few, but most of them were already committed and hence I never got an opportunity of opening my cards properly. It has most of the times been a GAME OVER even before it could start.

And I am in no hurry. If it is written in my destiny, it’ll happen anyway. And if it’s not there; then there is no point going against the will of almighty. And all those people who monitor me regularly; know that I have never tried to fall into it. Because love is not forceful affair which can be controlled, rather it is like a cool breeze of faith which happens to flow at the most unexpected times and without any motive. And with what I have seen most of the times, with a most unexpected person around you. There has to be a “practical” path for such a journey and one can’t move only on the basis of pure and flowing emotions when it comes to making the “most important and crucial decision of your life”. I hope that air is clean now and that there is no confusion in your minds. :) Cheers!!

Four Regulative Principles

In one of the seminars of ISKCON I came to know about the four regulative principles of a human life. Its not that I didn’t know that they were “wrong” things but I didn’t know them in this classified manner.

Following are the four deadly sins which a human must not commit. They are also known as the four pillars of sinful life.

1. CONSUMPTION OF NON VEGETARIAN FOOD

Under this we count meat, fish, sea food and even eggs.

2. INTOXICATION

Alcohol, drugs, tobacco, pan masala etc.

3. GAMBLING

Horse race, lotteries, casinos, cards, and gambling at the share market (though no one is forcing you to leave it if it’s your career): P

4. ILLICIT SEX

Extramarital sex, obscene films, vulgar talks (profanity)

These are very basic things, there is no big deal in putting the above regulations on our bodies and they are very practical to keep.
