Anoop who!

Anoop dawg ..like randy says it ..is one of the finalist in American Idol. He wasn't doing too good until this week he was simply out of the world. He sang 'You were always on my mind' by Elvis Presly and the choice of song just turned things around for him. ... Well isnt it amazing to see an Indian up there. Our indian 'Kem cho' guy went from zero to hero .. as simon quotes. The song really touched me somewhere deep. He really made my day yesterday. I wish the people in america would vote for him .... All the best to him.

P.S. I usually dont like thick eyebrowed guys .. but I guess Anoop dawg also turned that around for me.

What we call... The Man's Game

I was switching channels at lighting speed .. trying to skip the usual drama on TV and I am glad I stopped at ESPN to see the score of an ongoing cricket match .. which looked like just another set up field but I noticed there were women. It was India vs Aus ICC Women World Cup super six at Sydney Oval. I had missed India's side of batting but I still wasn't complaining coz they made 234/5. Well Aussies have a reputation to maintain in cricket or rather men's cricket coz here our Indian chicks were ripping them apart. It was nothing different than a usual cricket game ..the same old screaming, rejoicing and giving high tens after a wicket ..scratching the crotch, weird faces during bowling, same dude gogs and white striped faces, the same old 'caaaaaaattttttttcccccchhhhh ittttt'..and jumping around to grab balls ...I mean the ball. It felt so great that I got goose pimples every time she bowled and gave that killer stare to da bats-woman telepathically saying "I'll get you next time bitch" and turned away. Even after all this there were few things a lil different ..the balling pace was slower, fixing and fidgeting with hair all the time, clapping hands and saying "Nicely done GIRLS". All in all the aussies had to make 235 to win and now they had 29 runs to make in the last over. Goswami, Indian captain had beautifully bowled her 10 overs. I really liked her. The bowling was fantastic..since that's the only part I watched. I saw this known face in the Indian team stand. Gauri Naik .. the girl I admired when I was kid. As a kid we shared a common love for cricket. I used to watch gauri practice all day. I had even once accompanied sanjay dada, her elder brother to pick gauri up from her practice. She was this tom-boy girl who rode an enticer and smiled and asked me what I am doing these days every time I met her. It was great to see her there. She didn't play that match for reasons unknown. Anyway coming back to how Indian chicks beat Aussies ass. We won! We won by 16 runs! A wonderful victory and proud women shaking hands and smiling away. They got to the semi finals with New Zealand and will probably face England in the finals. The woman of the match was Anjum Chopra who supposedly had batted wonderfully. She came to the stand and thanked her team and I could not have been more proud for us women. Is this the future of cricket if I dare ask in this man's game?

p.s. You go girls. ....

Sorry.. here I said it .. its easy.

Sorry... its got a ring to it ... Sorry.. so how magical is this word ? Magical enough to mend a broken heart .. magical enough to recover failed relationships ... magical enough to make a relation work ...and in my case I was hoping it was magical enough to save my friendship. Turns out its not good enough. When things go wrong and you feel the sense of regret, something within you tells you that you were wrong, you were totally outta line and its time you apologize. However big our ego is, we know deep within that we were a part of the swearing and name calling conversation and we might as well accept we were wrong rather than things getting outta hand. These topics are really sensitive sometimes .. they need to be handled with utmost care, intelligence and timing. If you plan to take the high road when the person has put their foot down ... is it right ? Is it right to compromise when your really hoping its gonna be appreciated. It wasn't. It wasn't appreciated at all ... it was actually being laughed at in public which made things worse. The very fact that you were hoping it be appreciated .. do you really think you were sorry enough. I still stand to ask this ... What do you do when he/she doesn't accept his/her mistake? Would you call it 'being naive' or 'being an egoist' or probably think the situation wasn't awful enough for them, to make them realize that its wrong. You know .. saying sorry is one thing. ... meaning it is another and not accepting it, now that's just uncool, unacceptable and certainly not welcome.

Keep Them Seperate

You're Eating gum ... the flavor just started to get a lil old and someone offers you that sinful dark chocolate Hershey and all you can think of is to 'hide the gum' in some corner of your mouth and enjoy the taste of chocolate. Suddenly you find yourself chewing something at the same time .. and that's when you realize you gotta either spit da gum out or live with it coz you got it all mixed up. What do you do ? Friends are like gum's and chocolates .. you have your set of old friends who you defend, da ones your possessive of and the set of new friends, who your best friend just introduced you to. You know for a fact that in a group, the buddies you choose to hang out with .. know you and love you for what you are so your kinda like their 'Queen Bee' with those extra qualities that they are oh so fond of...yada yada yada.. On the other hand .. your best friend is the 'Queen Bee' of her swarm. So what happens when there are two highly strong sentimental and proud egoist queens trying to make a position to lead the large swarm as a whole? Disaster! There is that 'one' who wants to step down without letting the other one think she won it. But how do you do that ... I dunno, go figure. Some of the mid life crisis situation I'm facing currently. Its just making me feel so bad that I am very very close to renouncing my title 'Queen J in da house' . And it all started with a mockery over writing a blog on a Saturday...turns out it is Saturday.. isn't it ironic.. don't you think.'

We are what we are, Are we?

Chicks Chicks Chicks .. out of all kinds ..the confused , the pretty , the dumb , the independent , the smart .. the bold, the boyish kinds ... there is one genre which spans over all the other .. "The Bitch". She is the one who knows it all . She knows when he likes her .. she knows when he needs her .. she knows when he absolutely loves her and she knows when he'll do anything for her. So the question is why does she act so innocent and stupid all the time ? He is probably under the notion that he is making her fall in love with him ... but what the poor little dog doesn't know is that she is the one pulling the strings. She is the one messing up his head, heart and his life. She is pretending when she says "I don't know why you would think I liked you"..she's pretending when she says "Don't be so nice to me all the time.." and definitely pretending when she says "you soooo understand me" coz she knows for sure he is head over heels ..truly madly deeply in love and would fulfil any unrealistic want when asked for! All we girls need is a little bit a attention ..let me not generalize .. some of us need a hell lotta attention.I agree I am girl and I am probably pissing off a lotta others my kind. But my point here is .. Playing with hearts has become our strength which some of us are really proud of. But should we consider ourselves stronger than men coz we can get them where we want ? We can manipulate them, tease them, mess them up and throw them when done. Is that what we stand for ? I want to turn this around. Its hard for me not to believe I can get any guy I really want..but the method is just very unethical.

The Big V

De day, the symbol of "Martyrdom"... no really it really started of as a day for the martyr ... little that they know, that centuries later people will actually keep up the spirit and swear to die for love and succumb to martyrdom. Anyway being a hopeless romantic how can I let go of an opportunity like this to make this day worth dying for. You'll be surprised to know I had a date for de day ... two weeks prior which I declined. And the day arrived and I had nothing special planned for myself. I mean I really didn't feel the need to. It started of as an "Voluntary trip to office" ...and followed by a single lunch at Sweet Chariot. I met her in the evening .. hoping it would be just a girls day out. Coz the last thing I needed was a guy I would need to be nice and cute for ! but he came along with her and it turned out to be kinda cool coz he is equally sarcastic as I am. Though I think there is something cooking between them :). We were at brigade road..one should have seen da place .. there were protests, police and swarms of people all decked up .. walking in pairs and intertwined hands. I don't detest it ..its just a lil too much love for me.. you know like to the extreme, like in hindi movies where the girl goes against her parents and the father hires da villain to kill the hero and there is police and everything. But I like it subtle and less loud coz if you need to dress it up like that it just seems untrue. Well the night was spent in watching mushy movies .. sweet home alabama, pretty women, serendipity .. only to reassure myself that when people come together, they stay together.. they come home to each other every night .. even if I sleep alone I wanna know all of it is true.

Matching Matching

What factor decides that clothes match ... why cant brown shoes go with a blue top ?? Look at it .. they just feel wrong together. Something like he dating her Or Halwa with ice-cream (which does taste good by the way!!). Who said that black and white are universal colors. I mean graphically speaking its true that they have the min and max RGB values and variations in them coz zillions colors ...but seriously why do I always have to buy a black pair of flats and think to myself ... ah yes it'll go with everything. How did I come to that conclusion !! I know for a fact that I still wouldn't get out there wearing something that doesn't match .. coz I have totally submitted to this feeling of discomfort if I'd do otherwise .. but do we need to change the way we think ? Am I incapable of thinking out of the box even when I know for sure that there is something out there ? I feel a lil orthodox and stupid. I mean, as long as it doesn't harm anyone right, except my poor brown shoes feel a lil lonely on the days I wear blue, red and grey!

This isnt Goodbye

Dear Mr.Broken Heart,

"I want love that is impossible..a man like me so irresponsible" in words of elton john.. my fav video with robert downey jr...though the song is kinda about drug abuse .. but that's beside the point .. So are u greedy for love? Are you willing to take chances .. are you ready to risk ? How badly do you really want it.. do you feel alone even when your surrounded by people .. or rather you wanna be left alone coz you wanna know , that you still have it in you to wanna be with someone and give it your all. I love to love .. I love to be happy and I love the fact I can use the word love and not get sick of it. Oh yes I do live in my fairy tale world but its not always that bright and colorful you know. To make something perfect you need time , patience and courage. I have all of that but just the one I love is not here with me. When you have to say "goodbye" to something you hold oh so dearly .. how hard is it for you? How hard is it to know that your gonna be miserable for time to come and that you need to start over or may be settle for something less! Now imagine doing it a hundred times and knowing that its killing you inside but you still have to put on a happy face coz people just don't wanna let you be. Yes, it happened to me ...a thousand goodbyes of the thing I love the most and sometimes when I sit alone in my room, I can still hear him, the 'Strums' ring tone of my Apple IPhone ring in my head. tanatanating tanatanatanating ...

goodbye Siemens c25, goodbye Nokia 8250 , goodbye Nokia 6100 , its not goodbye for you my dear, my Apple IPhone
I miss you and remember that I will love you forever.

Yours,
Jopo

Right side of the bed.

So you had a little bump on the way .. you thought things were going the way you wanted until that one day .. your calculations went horribly wrong. What did you do ? Felt bad about yourself.. cribbed about why God why did this happen to me!! Did you feel like you didn't deserve it, but it happened to you anyway. Do you wake every single day knowing that "your invincible" .. that bad, evil and ugly things never happen to you. Atleast I do. I thought God himself blessed me with this supernatural power which beats superman, spider man, iron man and hulk. They fought against evil ... and in my case I managed to believe, I conquered it. Now the question is, will you let that one single horrifying wrong day, ruin your belief! To be honest, I was hung up on it for three whole days and it pretty much took all the fun outta me until I decided to take charge. And that day everything went smoothly. I felt like I was on a roll. So was it that I had an extremely bad day followed by an extremely good day. That is highly unlikely. Its all in your head people ...its all in your head .. you thought it was left .. but it was the right side of the bed.

Regards,
Hurt but coping me
