And life goes on..

I'm always so devoid of thoughts worth writing in my blog that I myself wait for my next post. I wait for moments which could stimulate my thought process so much so that I can update my blog with some thing. I bet it feels lonely. Anyway, this time I'm pretty frustrated. (When am I not?)

First things first: A-not-so-noble person bought my PG and hence saved us all from the misery of finding a house in such a wretched place like Gurgaon. The person - noble cuz of this very fact that I stated. And not-so-noble cuz he's a prick.
Anyway, I have a new roommate now. Only thing I dislike about PGs : You're forced to befriend new people. She's nice. Come on! You don't expect me to bitch about her on a public forum! Do you? :P Only problem: She got the remote of this idiot-box in our room fixed. Earlier I had this good fortune of having a lazy roommate who didn't mind watching TV. The only reason she didn't watch it was the remote, which never worked. And she was lazy to get up from bed every time she had to change the channel and even lazier to find a way to get the remote fixed. And I never found it sane enough to empathize with her or help her in this matter in any way. Hence, I was happy.

This room mate, however not so different from the lazy one, turned out to be lazy enough to get up from the bed to change the damn channel but not so lazy as to pester the PG owner to get the remote fixed. Me. I absolutely detest watching TV. My feelings against this creation by mankind are becoming so stronger day by day that its either me or a TV in the same room. New Roommate is an avid viewer of all the daily soaps. Scenes which are not even remotely funny, crack her up. I'm left doing nothing but just sitting on my bed and wondering at her gullibility. With all the modesty expected out of me, I would like to mention that I consider myself as a possessor of a fairly good sense of humor (which I showcase only to those who are close to me :P). Whenever I see those "actors" trying to do their job at acting, let alone comedy; I feel pity for all those people who, I can't understand why, have fallen prey to such nonsense playing on TV. You won't believe, my roommate even says "By God" and claps her hands in delight, after every sixty seconds to show her approval for her "funny" "actors"!
So, my next plan of action: Buy a set of original(and sound-proof, if they make any) ear-phones, which won't ditch me only in 1 month like those Made-in-China-only-for-250-bucks I bought last month. :-/

One more thing I recently observed: An elevator won't come before the time it is destined to come, no matter how many times or how hard you press the button. Exactly what I wanted to tell the person, who was molesting the poor button the other morning. I just refrained myself from giving words to my thoughts, seeing how annoyed he was. Just in case..Its better to keep some things to yourself, rather than getting humiliated in public. The elevator didn't come for another 5 minutes. That kept the sadist in me entertained till the time it finally came. :D

The Google Basketball League.

Google basketball League was held on 13th June in Gurgaon. And as the name clearly says, it was a basketball tournament of sorts among some "basketball players". While some of the players were real players! Others played just for the free jerseys. :D U get no brownie points for guessing the category that I belong too! :P Of course, I played for the jersey! :)

By the by, do you remember all the crap that you were told when you used to go to school about why exactly one shouldn't be greedy? Yeah…well, they were right after all. A little something happened with the size of the jerseys. Jersey - my only motivation behind playing basketball. :( I had ordered a small one and I got a large instead. Its of no use to me now. :(

And now we'll talk a li'l bit about the historic match. Although, me and my team knew beforehand that we were gonna lose, we still wanted to see how bad we lose. I'm assuming that scores don't matter when u're actually playing just for a jersey. So, I won't mention them either. To throw some light on my thought process during those humiliating 25 minutes, here I present you with an excerpt from a rather complicated piece of whatever-you-call-it: At one point during the match that requires great levels of spontaneity and presence of mind, so distracted was this little piece of mind that it actually made me look at the clouds in the sky and silently wish that it would rain that night. Then I was shaken by my own guilt back into the game and I did some major contribution towards our defeat. Throughout the match, my teammates played smartly enough not passing the ball to me. The times that they did pass the ball to me, they were made to regret their decision immediately afterwards. And they didn't even shy away from expressing their regret.

So, I suck at basketball too. *sigh* Bowling being the other game that I suck at. I will never forget that inauspicious day when I broke two of my precious nails, bowling for the first and the only time in my life, bringing disgrace to my team. That day, I contributed single-handedly towards my team's defeat. :-/

This too shall pass..

Sometimes I think I should get married. At least I'll have a house to live in and I won't even have to pay for it. :( Finding a guy would be much easier than finding a house in Gurgaon, m sure. Life would become so much more easier, merrier and wealthier cuz I won't have to pay my rent any more.

But, then I think who would want to let go of his independence just to save a few bucks. I'll shop less, but I won't sacrifice my freedom. I better be patient and soon I'll find my dream house(within my budget!). Hence, I say This too shall pass. Amen!

Up the creek, without a paddle!

I feel like I've been stranded in a desert with no sign of water. It's been exactly 9 months now that I've been in Gurgaon and it's the 4th time that I'm moving! After going through a hell lot of trouble, I finally found a place worth living in Gurgaon this time. Just when I had convinced myself that I'll never ever think of leaving this PG, come what may, I get kicked out! No..not literally of course! I'm too decent a girl to get kicked out of some place like that. :D B-) Actually,one fine day, when I thought I had every reason to smile, I got a message in my mobile (it rhymed!!) that the story is not over yet, my child(yeah, this time I did it to make it rhyme). Coming straight to the point now, the PG owner sent us a message telling us that he's closing down the PG. :( I have to look for a place yet again! Aaarrgggghhh! I so hate house hunting and that too in a place like Gurgaon! People just want to make money here. They'll have 3 beds in a match-box sized room and one almirah very conveniently parted into two so that two people can have each half! And the poor third one(which somehow would always be me!) gets an almirah, the size of a shoerack! :-/ Getting a flat on rent is even more difficult. There rents are sky-high! I wish it was possible to just pitch a tent wherever you wanted to and lead a happy life. :(

Let's see where do I find a shelter next. Until then, I'll keep cursing Gurgaon for being such a pain! :-/

Now some updates. Let's start with the to-do list that I promised last time but never came up with. That's cuz nothing has changed since then. I'm yet to finish Catch-22. I get so busy lazying around in my free time that I hardly get time to read it. But, my vow still holds strong. I'll read that novel till the end. And until then I'll not think of any other novel even in my dreams! Coming to the movie, Robot. Whenever I got a chance to watch it, I forgot that I wanted to watch it. So, its still there. The only new thing added to the list is "kill a few people". The task is as simple as that, I just have to figure out how to do that so that I don't get caught.

Coming to the third topic that's been in my posts for a while now. Learning. What have I learnt next? I learnt, rather realized that I'm out of college now. Yes. 9 months in Google and I realize it now. But, better late than never. :) I was so used to getting spoon-fed by my parents, my brother that it took me a good 9 months time to understand that I have to take care of me, myself. Didn't realize that nobody is gonna come here to help me get up when I fall down. People won't be so cruel as to walk over you but yaa it'd get too late by the time someone actually would come to help you stand up on your own feet.
So, lesson learnt: Grow up. Oops! I've already grown up. Its time to start acting like one! :D

Btw, just for the record I'd like to mention that the whole thing about going through trouble in finding the current PG that I said "I" went through was not all correct. Actually, who went through all that trouble were my parents nd my bro. I had little role to play. (That was a part of spoon feeding process too.) I just wanted to have a clear conscience. So, just mentioned it. :P

Bored and....bored.

Its been a while that I've written something…and I miss writing. First things first, I've been in a rotten mood for one month running. So, if this post sounds depressing/uninteresting/dull you know why. Let's begin now. I've shifted to Gurgaon again. But, that doesn't make any difference to my readers(if there are any) since I never wrote anything about moving out of Gurgaon in the first place. So, yes, that did happen once and now I'm back to square one. Last time, I left Gurgaon in one month only cuz I thought it was lifeless(which I still think it is). Seriously, I haven't even seen a stray dog in Gurgaon! Not that I want to, but come on I need to say something to prove my point. Now, I'm back here cuz nothing else was working out.

In some ways, Gurgaon is better. I have more time for myself now. Put it another way, I have more time to get bored of myself…plus I get time to read too. But, lately I've become so lazy that I have to push myself into doing something worthwhile! This is one thing that I keep wondering about when I'm sitting idle. What has led me into being such a lazy bum!? Nd esp these days, I'm going through that phase in life where you suddenly realize that life is going past you! You thought you had time and then one day you find out that you're just standing still while others have crossed miles and miles. When you feel that you don't have any ambition left in life. I'm sure all of us go through this phase at least once in life. So, that's the reason I'm not taking it too hard on myself. (:D) But, I do realize that I've to be much more sincere in life. Now that the realization part is over, the action part has to start. Nd it starts right now! (In my next post, if I remember, I'll give updates on how far did it go :-/)

Uhh…look what this idleness had done to me. I stopped reading completely. When I don't read I don't write cuz I feel creatively challenged. So, whenever you see a new post on my blog after a long time, you should know that I've started reading something. These days I'm reading Catch 22. This is the fifth and the last time that I'm giving this novel a shot. Not that it's a boring novel. It's hilarious and great fun! Actually, I'm reading a second hand copy of the novel. What turns me off is its look. Its pages are mostly dark grey in color and its hard to keep all the pages together in the novel. They keep coming out and once they are out, they keep falling down and I don't have enough patience to take care of each and every page! My laziness and stinginess is not allowing me to buy a new copy. That's why the whole story!

I'm writing nothing but crap only because my mind has nothing but crap right now. Forgive me for wasting your time(if at all there IS someone whose time I've wasted) Talking about crap reminds me of Robot, the movie. I watched it yesterday. Not the whole movie, some part of it. Nd boy! I loved the movie. :D Totally! Next up on my to-do list is "watch Robot". Ohh..I've come up with another fantastic idea. :D My to-do list! I don't have any right now. But, I'll start writing one and my next post is gonna be my to-do list! :) Ahh! I feel somewhat happier!

Okay, let's not be over-dramatic. I don't feel any better. :-/

Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall!

What's your instant reaction when you see somebody falling down? :D Well, my smiley speaks for me. I laugh out loud! Even if the situation does not allow me to be loud, I still laugh out loud. Simple! When somebody falls down, all sensible and sane people come into action and help that person get back to his senses. While not-so-sane people like me, very smoothly, walk away to a safe corner and laugh! :D I know that's mean. But, sometimes if I get a chance, I do help people and save my laughter for some other time.

Now, why am I writing about this natural phenomenon of laughing when you see an innocent soul toppling? Obviously, cuz I witnessed a smilar incident today. The only twist in the story is that, the person who fell down was none other than ME!!! :-/ (Why else would I write "innocent soul"?) I fell down flat on my back! :( How do you differentiate if the liquid that is spilt on the floor is actually oil and not water? x-( Thank God, I was carrying my bag on both my shoulders. It, like a good shock absorber, protected my back. I would also like to thank the pony tail that I had made after a very long time. It also acted as a shock absorber nd saved my head. :) But, the lower portion had to bear the shock! Yeah..it pains! :-(

I would also like to thank the Almighty for it was dark that time and nobody saw a once-smiling-nd-chirpy girl suddenly vanishing, only to be found on the floor the very next second. Except for those four idiots, who did see and had their share of fun. One of my friends, who was coming after me,(who could not witness the scene) heard them laughing and asked us if we knew what had happened to make them laugh so hard! :-/

Nd lastly, a big thanks to my friend who was walking with me and did not laugh or make fun of me, even when she could! :)

P.S. : Just for the record - See! I've been saying that my days are not going good since a long time. Hence Proved. I was not cribbing without a reason.

"Happy" New Year!

Its New year yet again! Time to rejoice. Time to celebrate! Time to begin everything afresh. Its time to do what you could not do in the past year. Time to push your limits and surprise yourself. A time for new hopes and new beginnings. Time to live your life the way you always dreamt of.

….CRAP!

I've been getting such messages every year since forever! My cel and my inbox are flooded with SMSes full of greetings! On Facebook everybody's status is the same! I don't understand why!! It's just another year! What's the big deal? Why's everybody so happy if a new year has started!

I still have to wake up at 6 in the morning, leave for office and work till 5 in the evening, as usual. No matter what time of the day its gonna be, my height isn't gonna be an inch longer! No matter what month it is, I do not see myself going on a holiday ever in the near future! No matter what year it is, it still doesn't guarantee whether I'll ever be able to change my status from "single" to "double"! :-/ And last but not the least and most importantly, how can everyone forget that it brings us even closer to the much-hyped-and-jinxed year 2012! If at all the buzz about the "great" apocalypse is true, (the belief on which our very dear news channels don't leave us with much choice!) we should rather be dreading this year and the year after this!

Clearly, m highly frustrated and not in a very good mood. Wish we could be allowed to work from home the entire winter. Things might have been a bit merrier then.

….uhhhh by the way, did I wish u all a very Happy New Year yet?? M so sorry! A very Happy and prosperous 2011 everyone. May u get all the happiness and success that u've always deserved and may all your dreams come true and…..errr….don't even get me started now! :P
