In Your Face!- The Friend Checklist

Image
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 anot...

Confessions of a NOT-HOT Girl!

Image
We usually keep reading about boys being friend-zoned and how girls play with their feeling- intentionally or unintentionally. Then there are jokes about bad guys getting all the good girls and good guys remaining forever alone. Then the long sentimental messages about how a beautiful girl rejected someone's proposal and how the guy kept portraying her beauty all throughout his life. Another in the series are the images where true love shows two perfect looking models hugging and coochee-cooing with each other. Then there comes the so on and the so forth! In all these, we usually forget to mention the girl who is simple, not really hot (say not hot at all), maybe not very beautiful  (maybe she is but not all made up) too, who is always by your side and hence forms a part of your gang. She, is a bit tomboyish sometimes and sometimes she is just not too girly or high on attitude. Sometimes she is sweet, most of the times she is normal and sometimes she is super mad too. Sometimes...

Honestly Honesty!

Honesty, If I end up defining it honestly will turn out to be the one word for " lack of opportunity! " You must be thinking that I must be out of my mind to be writing such thoughts publicly esp when placements are going to be around the corner soon and all of the firms, yes all of them will be on a lookout for virtuous "honest" candidates! All the honest guys there kindly raise their hands! This social experiment led to people looking at each other in disbelief! No one was really sure if they could actually put their hand up for the coveted, awaited, debated, opinionated, rated and whatever-ated alleged virtue! The question is, can we be honest even when the opportunity lies in front of us? Can we, dare to dare to think (yeah I wrote dare twice!) about losing the opportunity to excel just to be moral? Can we be courageous enough to bear all the pressure and opposition that will come along? Are we strong enough to stand alone? Can we afford to become a ...

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...

The Hairy Girl

As odd as it may sound, I have no qualms in accepting the fact that I am a lazy bee who can go without waxing for months together and still roam around wearing bermudas irrespective and oblivious "by choice" to what people might be thinking about me ! In short I do not care about people who have time as futile that they would waste it commenting on my hairy hands and legs. I sometimes question myself, why do we females have to wax ? Why is our beauty defined by something as insignificant as body hair. Why is being lady like equivalent to someone who is not in her natural form. I will not say that I break the norms, well it is something even I acquiesce to but why have I learnt it this way? Why can I not go around to parties with all those hair and still look hot or attractive for that matter! Why do guys have the option of women liking them bearded but I have never seen a guy who prefers women with body hair. Why are we being typecast into such a shallow definition of ...

Beetching !!

Image
I say it with double 'e' instead of an 'i' because that explains the level of perplexity this thing has caused in my life. There are certain trends that I have observed and I would like you all to kindly throw some light on them for me. The trends are as under: We bitch about the ones we have stayed and observed a lot. We stay a lot with them and that is why we bitch about them. We have observed them enough in our stay with them and that is why we bitch about them. We bitch about them and that is why we observe them all the more. We bitch behind their back but we are all so cloyingly sweet with them when they are there. Bitching for us is a statement of fact but that is what we feel about someone (and expectation is that it be taken as universal) The person we bitch with is bitched about in front of the one we just bitched about. We bitch in front of one and all with the assumption that we are the only ones who are doing things " idhar-udhar " (being...

Random STUPID stuff

Image
OK! so I had been forcing myself to write something for long now and there was so much of sheer stupidity around (and inside too) that I could not but delve into the deeper realms of being stupid. Seriously, how can anyone for that matter be this stupid, as in really really stupid type. So stupid that the word "stupid" finds the person stupid. Now let us define stupid in a way different from the usual largely perceived meaning. Dictionary defines "stupid" as someone who is unintelligent or dumb witted or moronic. Well I define stupid as someone who does not suit my taste ! Stumped! Aren't You ? But that is exactly what we always do; right! Oh this guy has always to do this thing, such a stupid one! (So, what's your problem, is it affecting you in any way?) C'mon don't be stupid, buy this phone! (Why are you being stupid in forcing him to pay "HIS" money for your choice, just let him do what he wants) Are you stupid you haven...
