Music makes me lose control

ok I looooooooooooooooove music ... I'm a complete music junky. Well .. if a song plays.. I just have to.. have to sing along ... and please don't get intimidated by the number of songs I can actually sing.. if you listen closer I'm just saying stuff that sounds like the actual lyrics. It's usually just some random word that fit's perfectly. Damn..now you know my secret. But this is not why I'm writing this post... I am now a proud owner of BOSE headphones. yeah the most pricey thing on the list of things I own. Gawd..I'm such a show off.

I can now listen to beats in a song I didn't know it had... like every song I replay now sounds so much different. I'm not kidding .. really. you should try it... wait you can't ... (evil laughter).... It's a whole new experience. And I've now shifted to a little trance and random music on thesixtyone.com. Only true music junkies are on thesixtyone...coz it's so damn cool.

Ok I have to get back to my awesome musical experience. I'm drowning .. drowning .. I'm gone.

Spring Break

Spring break to me...at the age of 16 was that show on MTV with girls dancing in bikinis and guys wearing weird flowery shorts ... I was like ..where is this place... do they dance all day ? They look like they are loving it!! Well here I am.. way..way past 16...the spring break has started... my friends have gone to miami and I'm sitting at home working on projects that I really dont have to work so hard for... but I still choose to.

Crazy workaholic,

Growing inch by inch

You know you are growing in the wrong direction when....

1) you take another 5 min to put on your jeans

2) you see a picture of yourself and feel the need to edit it from waist down..may be a lil more

3) your body starts to feel a lil different.. like its stretching somehow

4) hunger becomes directly proportional to the time elapsed between meals

5) the bed starts to sink in a little more than usual

6) bending, moving, walking.. any activity is a major task

7) parts of your body ache... especially feet...and you wonder why

8) you start to wear layered clothing ..

9) you look at that cheese in the quesadilla and say one time wont kill me

10) you dare to wear that tight tee and breathe in every time you pass anyone

hell no ... I' m not talking about myself... lets just say, its an insider's perspective. :)

Not ,

p.s. especially when you are in denial

Cuteness Unlimited

Dont get me wrong ... I have a life and I have loads to do ! But this is something really close to my heart. I love animals ... all kinds.. at times I even prefer them to humans.
Let me explain the picture.... firstly aren't they the cutest thing you've ever seen. Red pandas are on a verge of extinction and Firefox is working with WWF to save them. The image is a still from the live streaming of two red pandas in Brazil. They are taken care in the facilities and the room has these cameras all around the place. You can switch to different angles in order to get a better view of the two cuties. Isn't that nice...
I'm not too happy about the pandas being trapped in this small room.. so I really hoped it would have been a better place for them. But I appreciate the idea of live streaming. I'm starting to grow fond of them. Its like watching over your pets... oh he is licking his paw.. oh look he is running around.... hehe. It makes me happpyyyy... very happy.

Animal lover,
me

p.s. so what is the picture really about ... behind the scenes : .. shifu is sleeping and has no intention of playing with charlie..so charlie gets mad and tries to start a paw-fight.. shifu looks down on charlie ...asks him to get the hell out of his zone ...and charlie is disheartened .. jumps down and starts running around like a mad panda. :)

Its nothing really!

Lately I've been smiling for no reason .. I'm known to do that when things in my life are perfect... well almost perfect. Well every time I'm on facebook ..someone or the other is uploading pictures with their significant other.. is it me or people have suddenly become really open about their personal lives. So why wasn't I told about this public event.. did it happen overnight... I guess not. Well that can mean only one thing.. I've crossed over to the "age group". The group in which your colleagues... school friends... college friends.. common friends ..best friends.. knowns..unknowns decided its TIME.
I have no reason why I should not be happy for them .. hell if I were in their place I would be yelling out from a roof top .. even better tweeting or fbing about it!! But mera number kab ayega!!
I'm still waiting for the right wave... and when I'm on it, its gonna be one hellova ride!!

The priceless pieces of junk

I know the picture could have been a lil better but hey ... I never said I was a photographer!!
Earlier in the day I was triggered to search for something I thought I'd lost ..and I came across my jewelry box. I was horrified looking at how all the necklaces were entangled with stuff that wasn't supposed to be there in the first place!! It needed a lil straightening up... so I started cutting off the useless threads and one by one I unraveled each piece. I kept trying to find a matching pair of an ear ring.. or to figure out how the hell did these two necklaces get tied together. As I went on... they all start making a connection with me. The broken beads which were later replaced...plus an extra pair just in case.. the sea green necklace my mommy bought me... my most expensive birthday watch.. the stuff I bought while taking a stroll at linking road.. thabo.. the dog tag that was a promise that we'll remain friends forever.. the bracelet that my best friend made for me.. it represented every phase of my life and the choices I made in selecting bad jewelry :-p I know.. crazy right.

Reality Check..

Life does funny things to ya... since last week I had decided to look my best while stepping out or at least make an effort to be more pleasant looking. Just a week later, I pull out my new pair of jeans. They were out of the dryer sitting in the shelf neatly folded with a sign.."Pick me Pick me". Here we go..after a lot of pulling and breathing in.. I give up. Then she comes knocking at the door.. janu aren't you getting late... I pop my head out of the door and say.. I DON'T FIT IN MY NEW PAIR OF JEANS ANYMORE. My world comes tumbling down... and then she adds.. I think the jeans must have shrunk since you washed it! Phew.. relief eh. But deep inside I know that the pizza and quesadillas.. are doing one hellova job!! Then she asks me the most horrifying question.. why are you wearing just stockings everyday.. its snowing heavily!! Yeah .. you are damn right ..that is how I feel!!

On the heavy side

p.s. I blame the washing machine!!!!

Patience is a Virtue ... really ?

Patience is a state of endurance .. true. I personally used to think that I was pretty close to attaining enlightenment but something changed. I felt anger and trust me its really difficult to get me angry. If you think I'm giggling and smiling all the time .. that isn't a facade. I do have my share of background processes .. but that's acceptable I guess. It was really important for me to find out what really ticks me!! The answer lies in the life I've lived. I know..sounds cliche.. but things that have bothered me in the past .. I've managed to push them out ..knowingly or unknowingly.
The question is how long and how much can one tolerate?
No one tells you when its the perfect time to break the silence, resort to other means, retaliate. When do we draw the line when it comes to tolerance. I think I'm pretty high up there but try not to get on my wrong side.

The right side,
Me

Mad about Madhuri

Ok... you have a problem with her... then you have to deal with me mister!! I love madhuri... from the bottom of my heart I love her. I cry when she cries...I laugh..when she laugh...and to me she creates magic. I dream about standing outside her house in denver..until she comes out and talks to me...or at least takes pity and gives me an autograph. Its not the looks... ok may be a little but there is so much more to her..I know there is. We have a deep connection you see.. she lived near ma house.. back when no one knew her.. my school teachers taught her..yeah she was from my school. We learnt dance from the same teacher... if the dance teacher wasn't lying. She loves dogs..hates cockroaches..yada yada yada. I even have a real picture of her... but its with anu. :( I plan to cut her out and put my face on it. Ok now thats just lame. Anyhoo...my point is I will always love her ..even when she's old and everyone forgets her. Madhuri tai if you are listening... you mean a lot to me.

Mad about you...

me

p.s. dont I look a lil bit like her... ok who am I kidding!!

Love or something like it...

Just finished watching a lovey dovey movie... I wonder what gets into me. I am always smiling ... my heart starts racing...and then.. skips a beat. May be it was just John Abraham and his boyish charm..its hard to tell. So.. in the movie ..he takes a leap..jumps off London's tower bridge and tries to make it to the other side...while the bridge is separating for the ships to pass...typical movie..I know..right!!

But still I wonder where are these guys in real life? I don't see no one ..sigh. So what do these "Real Men" do to prove their love? Don't ask me... I dunno. But my concern is.. being a girl.. is it reasonable to expect an heroic act to prove that real men exist...that a girl deserves to be rescued. What extent do people in real life go to prove themselves to someone they love??

Wish I could make a documentary where people tell me their stories and I put it together to make one hellova movie.

Yeah Yeah ..
