In Your Face!- The Friend Checklist

-
Dear All,

It has been like more than my usual posting time since I last posted in September. This was unusually bad of me to have neglected this particular blog since it was the first one I ever had and it did and still continues to provide me the maximum audience I have.
So, that makes me look really bad to myself because that is not how it should be. And so, my sincere apologies to "And so I thought and said".

Anyway, so you all must have had a lot of friends, like minimum 10 of them and that is really really good for you because you should have a lot of people to hang out with. Yes! I just said that and I know it is mean but the reasons I can explain pretty well.

You see, how do you define friends?  Someone with whom you can share everything you want to and you know you will not be judged. Your friend is someone who stand by you through thick and thin and do blah blah things for you.
So positive na! Such beautiful way of defining friendship  which is actually another way of defining people who "have helped you or will help you".

No take a look at this, just go through this checklist and tell me how many people pass it.

  1. Well, they know when to shut up and give you your time to heal
  2. They are not always saying you are correct, they chide you when you are wrong
  3. They may not stand for you but they do stand against people who are against you
  4. They simply cannot move on when you are not OK! 
  5. They expect you to be honest and sometimes when they know you did hide something, they do feel hurt
  6. You have not been in contact for long but when you do, it is always like you have been talking daily
  7. Well they do not really ask you for something, they order you and it has come after serious thinkings if you would be comfortable doing it
  8. Basically, they do value you

If anyone scored even 5/8 in this, he/she is your friend as in a real friend. Else, they are just acquaintances you made while walking through this path called life.


I know this might fall harsh on many but that is how it is, maybe it is high time that we started valuing real relationships and not get ditched by some people and pass this statement," Aajkal to sab hi aise hogae hai!"

Because my darlings, "Sab aise nahi hai", we just made the wrong choices, that is it!



PS:  Just make sure that all those who passed this test know that they did. A loving message from you to them will make them feel good and maybe you get one message back too!

Cheers!

(Confused Genius is feeling super proud that she has this small number of friends who totally qualified this, But, she is waiting for you to give an even acidic test at it :P )

The new life and some takes..

So, its almost a week at IIM Indore, Mumbai Campus and since I haven’t written any thing for almost a month; I feel that it is my moral obligation to write and enlighten the world which had been so deprived of some food for thought. The weather here is as fickle as any chameleon can get, the sky changing colors every now and then and you getting drenched in the rains, all wet and then within ten minutes you have all dried up due to the pinching, dense sunshine. Assignments are pouring in and the freshers had been a blast. The past week had been so busy that these four days’ off seems absurd. In the midst of all these, I am actually enjoying what people call the “perks of being at a premier institute in India”.  I would thus share two most peculiar ones  with you and in italics will be my take on them. 1. Suddenly I realised that people have started believing in my talent. The question mark on my abilities is gone just because I happened to garner a seat in a top notch institute . W

"GORI" Kahi ki

"She is very beautiful, look how fair she is", came the expert comment. I looked up and saw a girl fair enough but average looking. Might be the jealousy in me changed my views, or maybe I was just being a fair judge. Lets come to the point now, fair or white skinned or "gorapan"; somehow I do not understand the fuss surrounding it. So many fairness creams in the market and the figures show that the sales keep increasing. The dark skinned ones want to be fair, the fair ones want to be even more fair. The Television ad goes like, something something nikhaar in such a few days. And the fairness, my god; you will not need a bulb when lights go off. Oh c'mon do you think I'll believe that?? Well actually I do and I try it out and then psychologically I feel that yes it is working. But after a few days, am back to my normal self, not looking that fair the much I wanted to. And sometimes, I go to a party with so much makeup piled on that I look so artifici

Importance of Being “A-theist”

-
S unday, usually is the day when I prefer spending the whole day reading; the first half reading the news paper and the second half, reading anything I lay my hands upon. Today, I read an article about an atheist who went about defying the customs emphasizing on the futility of the multiple hours people waste  worshiping  and performing rituals. I, have been for a part of my life an atheist, I was very much a devoted  worshipper  before that and presently I hang somewhere in between. I do not deny the existence of God, not because I know of it but because I do not consider it to be a topic to waste my time thinking about. If He is there, He can well be and do His work like I am doing mine. I respect Him because maybe I have been told to do so or maybe because I believe in Him. One thing for sure is that I respect Him. I do not prefer sitting in the rituals, I do not really follow the day based customs of cutting your nails or washing your hair and I do not offer Prasad or big don
