buddy ol' friend ol' pal

I was walking back from after school classes with Aparna whom I barely knew two years back.She has become one of my best friends. Waiting beneath the old banyan bus stop with the rest of Mar Ivanios, we stood talking about how things had just fallen into place. How we ended up doing everything together. Like best friends.

It's funny because we had been in the same school for 7 years back in Muscat but the only thing that we had in common was Christy as our best friend. Nothing more than a hi-bye person.

I  am a very bad friend. I don't always remember birthdays and text at toc-12 or walk people to their house (which may be on the very next right) because they are afraid of getting mugged. Bottom line: i'm not "sweet".

I detest people who put up silly quotes (and worse their own) on friendship as stats--and those who like them.

Coming back to live in India was like some sort of a test. Except it was more important that one made mistakes.The right mistakes.


Friends are good people.

bored to the core

I'M BORED!!!!!I have done everything( figuratively ):watched TV,listened to a CD twice...ate..checked facebook..orkut..roamed around the house for no particular reason...called mom..went next door..There aren't enough things to do to beat boredom..I am having exams right now..Like always i seem to have a lot of time for everything during exams,not that i have done with revision..I'm too relaxed about it...I don't know why.I'm not the brightest or fastest in class. In fact I'm really slow(in both ways).A simple math problem would have my brains smoking over it for hours.And when someone shows me how to do it I feel stupid and angry at myself.I confess,there are times when everyone seems to have understood something new and i haven't I am on the verge of tears.I get really angry with myself when I don't understand things as easily as others do.Why don't i ever see the straightest and easiest way to things?!? I came across this phrase "how glorio...

the riGht to arroganCe

Of all human traits I find arrogance most interesting. I believe there are two sides to it. There is plain unworthy arrogance and there is reasonable justified arrogance. Sometimes I'm drawn to arrogant people. To those who are really good at what they do and know it themselves too. Some call it being over-confident.Some call it sheer arrogance. I too call it arrogance sometimes.With a bitten lip and a grudging smile. Why do you secretly admire that arrogant son of a bitch?Simply put , because he's so AWESOME!~ *droool*. Why do you seem to overlook the fact that he nevertheless is arrogant. Because arrogance becomes an attribute to the person (though I always make it point to keep that to myself). I don't encourage arrogance but I don't want to criticize it either.Sometimes arrogance provides what humility does in terms of inspiration. Humility is a good thing.Being modest and not boastful, yes I do respect such people.But put both kinds on the counter and ...

Cheater Peter Pumpkin Eater

t’s always a little depressing that the smarter guy grabs the glory everywhere, be it at school or at workplace. We resort to all sorts of things to beat the smart guy. The little green monster takes over and makes us do either of the following. We work harder and score better, or simply continue envying and do nothing about it or the worst, cheat. Once after a particularly tough Maths exam I came home and dialled my sister seeking solace. She told something she had read somewhere. Every human brain has the same capacity. The smart people just keep theirs warm and working. I found this quite inspiring and ever since lessened the number of times I call myself stupid. Even when I score low at school I feel guilty for not having put enough effort but I also feel quite happy about the fact that what I have scored is with me and my brains alone. The conscience centre in my head works better than most people I believe or else I would have virtually been suffocated by wrong doings. We used...
