Muse Amuse

And that ladies and gentlemen was probably my smoothest journey ever! Cruising in the literal sense. My first flight and i was amused…not scared surprisingly that i was on my own for the first time but more precisely excited.

Started off with me all embarassed with the fact that i had this weird trolley and i kept banging into everything possible. would try to wave out to my friends for the final good bye and bang i was into the door. bang i was into a pillar! Man! And i just couldn’t stop laughin, imaginin myself how hillarious i would have found it had i been an onlooker!

I had been to the airport previously too..(my first ticket is stamped “infant” ) but this was my first conscious experience as a passenger and it was as smooth as butter (sidhuism?!!) (yuck!!) anyway.walked in checked my baggage. was wonderin if nything suspicious would be found! Damn, unfortunately nothing…i wanted to see what would happen if they did?!

Anyway life didn’t grant me such amusement anyway so waited for the flight meanwhile takin everything around .tryin to publish my first flight in my cerebral memory. It was about time and i was wonderin why they hadn’t yet announced my flight so got up to look around when i found a guy lookin for passengers from the airlines and hence took me to the airbus. and then i had seen the planes…wasn’t too amused by the sight of it cuz half my life ive lived close to the runway with planes flying so close overhead that you could probably throw a stone (nah! i’m overdoin the exaggeration but yeah they were damn damn close!) Reminded me of the planes i’d play with when i was a kid.

I just couldn’t stop grinning! Dunno what it was about! Maybe my impatience to reach home or the excitement about a new experienc or whatever! For once i didn’t bother deciphering my emotions!

Finally in the plane. WAitin and waitin to understand that weird feeling of the plunging in the stomach and then i had seen it all. the all-famous imitation of the airhostess was being caught live! the do darwaze aage or do darwaaze peeche thing! and i grinned even more! looked out of the window! Man i was lucky to have gotten a wiondow seat otherwise would have probably irritated the person sitting next to the window by peering out with wide eyes like an amused kid! It was comfortable! Damn comfortable. Unlike the indian railways where your butt starts aching if you sit in the same position for a long time!

The plane circled around the runway waitin for a clearin n then it hit speed. It was AWESOME! Speed thrills me! and plus the night! I was enjoying myself! And the sight of Delhi in all the lights was beautiful! Typical, I was tryin to locate my residence!. Made me realise how huge Delhi actually was! but beautiful!

Found myself asleep and was disappointed that i had missed quite a bit off the last views of the city. I was hungry by that time n all the air hostess had to offer were mesley biscuits. oh yeah, with also a glare when i wanted to pick a second one! But didn’t bother. I wanted one so had one.

Conked off then and then found ourselves landing. Was the plane gonna crash?! Was the plane gonna crash?! Reached ma good ol’ city but somehow was disappointed that the excitement didn’t last long!

All i have to say is no matter what i prefer the Bharatiya Railways. No matter how dirty and filthy the whole place can be around i prefer em. And that too Sleeper class. Nostalgia personified! There’s something about the railways that makes me happy. Keeps me amused with every fresh experience. Travelling by AC you completely miss out on a world on India! Keeping alert about the baggage around you. Suspicious about people in the same coupe and the picturesque hindustan! And the railway announcements! And the long queues!! Yeah i must be sounding weird if im enjoying things like this, but whats use frettin over em when u can’t do nything bout it!

I remember watching this amazing documentary once on the great indian railways called that. It was beautiful!! I think things like that should be captured on tape unlike most shows catchin the poverty or the traffic jams in kolkata! C”mon! There’s more to this awesomely beautfiful country besides the grunge! Anyway the documentary covered aspects that were long forgotten and they made me nostalgic! I travel a lot by train and i have never gotten bored and m sure i never will!!

Love ya Railways!

I have officially lost it in life! I’m sitting in a cyber trying to work on ma project but instead i’m reading compatibility signs! what is wrong with me?! From the time i’ve come to Delhi I’ve been taking more of an interest in astrology than ever before! And trust me I don’t like it! I’ve always preferred consoling myself that I am in control of my life and everything i do….Horoscope n all sounds very very impractical to me! And from the time I’ve been here I have actually made a conscious effort to find out people’s sun signs!!….Maybe it’s the most easiest way to sub consciously know who i’m gonna get along with n who i’m not…But, that doesn’t mean i’m gonna stick around talkin to just the ones i would along with….A tiff could be exciting once in a while too you know!

Atleast my deduction of horoscopes is not based on the over generously available commodity of material but is grounded on sheer experience! Having so many close friends in various walks of life I’ve pretty much enjoyed deducing people and trying to understand their typical traits,how they’d react to situations and events and their character in general.

But, somehow i prefer the art of deducing character more than foreseeing the future…. character is a set attitude which is influenced by anything and everything around you but i still can’t understand how persons belonging to the same sun sign have those typical traits!….interesting ……..very intersting. Things like this never cease to amuse me!

I seem to have become inexorable when it comes to asking people their sunsigns!! where the hell have i lost my sanity?! Considering the fact that i’ve always been insane but this is heights….I’ve always justified the fact that astrology is for the weirdos! then why me?! I find it infernal and i need to get myself out of this paranoia!! and quick! But i still get excited when i find someone who can read my hand…Don’t believe in it (again!) But it’s so amusing that these criss-crosses on your hand can actually tell you how you’re gonna end up in life!

Funny how everything in life has to be so practical but yet every morning probably everyone sub-consciously reads the “astrology” section of the newspaper religiously whether they believe in it or not!

There’s nothin like a dark moon lit night and the haunting wind to refresh oneself from the drudgery of the daily routine!! The best things in life are free! except maybe add a sexy car with an amazing music system to go with the already beautiful night! Solitude is absolute bliss! M waitin to get ma hands on the steering wheel of a Skoda or a Lancer…cruising at 150 on a desolate road with music playing from a Bose music system! Driving all alone n letting your mind drift away to various things …….. or having an intellectually stimulating conversation with a friend and further drifting to nostalgic moments n then having them drift off n once again all on your own…..it’s an amazing feeling!

Life is so beautiful. Right from not sleeping all night but getting completely refreshed at the sight of the twilight..you just can’t explain how things like that seem to completely transform your hemisphere of thought! Goin for a jog when it’s just light and takin in the fresh air n the smell of the earth with dew wit soft music playing on your mp3!

Things like this make me wonder what i’m doing with my life. I wanna leave an impact. Not get famous or anything but i wanna bring about change. Bring about change in this society of ours that assumes everything bad happening is the cause of the government! It’s the contribution of every individual that makes a difference. You’d never find an Indian spitting abroad or littering around. So why does it always have to be back in our very own country that he walks around spittin precisely where a “no sptting” zone would be put up?! The government’s equally to be blamed too of course. They’ve been portraying a not-so-good image themselves and the cons out number the pros by a landslide!

This post was written way way long ago..and just left a draft! Read it again recently so thought it had a nice start to it..and of course i can’t get back to the mode of the article! so..hence it reads incomplete!

I have no clue what i’m feeling right now! All i know is that it’ s 5.00 A.M and i wanna sleep! it’s been more than a week now that i probably haven’t had continuous sleep for a minimum of six hours! I don’t want to get off the system but i wanna sleep too! Basically i’m in a mood to write but i have no clue what to write about! It’s been a really long time since i’ve blogged or written anything! I can only write when i’m completely at an aggressive emotional peak, which did happen a lot back home but they were sufficiently long enough for me to write a positively strong article! but from the time i’ve come to delhi, writing has become more of a passion to me but i haven’t had a concrete abode, if i may use the term, to pen my thoughts! i’ve tried writing behind my drawing board, scraps and bits, bills etc., but the periods were all short lived! an hour later i’d always wonder what trash i’d written! coming to delhi i’ve had more experiences and have wanted to pen all of ‘em…i finally have access to ma beloved world wide web now 24seven so will be bloggin more hopefully and workin on ma writing!

Birthdays are the most irritating days ever! It doesn’t make a difference but psychologically the human mind of course goes on saying man it’s your day man it’s your day!! so what?? what am i supposed to be doin?? screamin around all day! i’ve been the most confused on ma birthday every year! of course the number of people you get to talk to is amazing! i’ve bin njoyin the attention of course with the phone calls all day! right from friends i’ve never spoken to after class 4 and six..imagine..not talkin for 8 years n the minute you’re out of the city everyone hs your number!!

I wish i could write!! this isn’t a blog i’d be proud of!! what trash is this particular blog all about!! i believe in perfectionism!! whatever i do i hae to get it right! n i’m in noo mood to get agitated with this blog or my writing at the mo….i wanna sleep. and i have no clue about my presentation tomorrow which i haven’t begun on. infact my exams begin tomorrow and i haven’t begun on any subject at all! m takin one thing at a time but it’s an overload! how the hell we supposed to submit 250 impeccable sketches on a 4 and another 50 on half imperial size in a day!! looks like all they’re trying to do is keep up the name of the coll that “you don’t get time to do nything in NIFT dear”. but i don’t understand gettin paranoid about crazy stuff like this either!! my whole hostel is workin or takin a break from work…and for me workin is takin a break from my usual wastage of time! from the time i’ve come here i’ve had the time to do everythin n also to do nothing! i’m missing my sports!! i haven’t played in such a long time! and i haven’t been able to read ten pages of a book!!! that’s a heartbreak!!! shame on me! 2 months n i’ve probably read just 100 pages of a book that’s gettin no where with the story either!! i won’t be able to read at home ither coz’ i’m overloaded wit work to take home! obviously if i’m not workin here ghar jakar atleast kuch ho payega!! that’s a hope i have to rely on!
