Love

-
Love is a relative phenomenon, it happens once for some, twice for some and endlessly for some others.

I don't know of falling in love is good or bad. But a few days back I met a beautiful girl. I don't know if this happens with everyone, but my heart was forcing me to fall in love with her. It wasn't just superficial. The conversations we had, the moments we shared. They are beyond words for me. No one has made me feel more special. No one has missed me more when I left for a new city. I so wish I could be right by her side. Is that what love is ? I don't know.

I am the most selfish guy on earth and I whole heartedly accept that but I don't know what has happened to me. I was willing to wait for her. Wait till the time she made up my mind. Is that what love is ? I don't know.


I have an image of being the most logical guy in my group but somehow, flying down 500 KMs in an instant for her seemed the most logical option to me. Somehow I didn't mind being illogical that day. Is that love ? I don't know.

I repeat, I don't know whether falling in love is good or bad. Whether long distance relationships are worth it or not. I don't know. But for this one girl, I am willing to try. I am willing to take the plunge. If this requires waiting on my part, so be it. If it requires changing myself a little, so be it. I don't know if I am the same guy who met her for the first time. Is that love ? I don't know.

But if this is love, then I am proud to tell you that the most happiest days in my life have been the ones I spent with her. And I ask her for one and only one thing, let me have those happy days. I promise I will make them special for you. I promise it will be the best time of your life. I promise that I will be by your side when you need me. I promise I will be that guy you ever wanted.
Because you are the girl I ever wanted.

When in Bombay!:'Boss'
Your lessons in Mumbai's Terminology

It seems Bombay is one of the few places in the world where even a slum-dweller gets the coveted title 'boss'. Yes, it's intriguing but true.

The word 'boss' in Mumbai has a completely different and a non- dictionary meaning. Any person of any community in the city is addressed as 'boss'. Be it a rickshaw wala, bus conductor, a street sweeper or even a millionaire! The word is somewhat a modern evolution of 'bhai sahab' and has become a trademark of Mumbai. For Mumbaikars, a boss is either any Tom, Dick and Harry by the street OR is a master of a certain trade!

Well, it feels surprisingly good to be a 'Boss' in city like Mumbai! (The word, however, isn't always used for appreciation). 

Toh Boss, I hope you liked our piece!

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin William. Gaddafi came up with this champion in

The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a very interesting show about a man named Patrick Jean, a former psychic who has the ability to "read" peoples minds . He uses these same skills to work with the FBI, and helps them catch criminals. In return he also wants their aid in catching the person who killed his wife and daughter. The peculiar thing about this show is the wa y he use s h is ability to think in absurd ways helps him solve crimes. Putting himself in the shoes of the criminal and predicting the criminal's next move, as well as using a "mind palace" to store all important facts and  evidence of the case, are just a few of the things that he does. Patrick's ability to think in the most absurd fashion and come up with the most crazy reasons as to how a person can be caught or proven guilty is interesting. This is also probably the reason why the show has a very repetitive story line. In which the sequence of events happen i

Nasty Battles #9 - Last benchers Vs first benchers

The classification - There are 2 kinds of students in a class- the outstanding ones and the others who are always standing out of the class. The former being the face of the class and the latter being the backbone. Idiosyncrasies - If a doubt is being asked in the class, the nerds frantically scan the textbooks for the answer while the other ‘chilled out’ kind is like “Just 5 minutes left for the lecture to climax ;)". The first benchers wish to get a degree to get a job (in hope of a ‘bright’ future) while the last benchers consider Facebook as their present and also their future (Who cares if it’s bright or not!?). The former crowd will always be on time, never call in a sick and would LOVE to work overtime (and basically salsa to the teachers’ rhythm). Last benchers, on the other hand, are those who OBVIOUSLY want to attend the class; but for the fun in their own sweet last bench-ly world (it does amaze me that how they manage to listen to the teachers). They’ve
