Two Questions

Amazing much. Take 5 minutes to read!


Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally reatarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.

Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three candidates.

Candidate A:
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 Martinis a day.

Candidate B:
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C:
He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never committed adultery.

Which of these candidates would be your choice?

Decide first... No peeking, then scroll down for the response.






Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Chruchill.
Candidate C is Adolf Hitler.

And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:
If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.

Pretty interesting isn't it?
Makes a person think before judging someone.

Remember:

Amateurs... Built the Ark.

Professionals... Built the Titanic.

Sorry Dad

I glanced upon this touching story in one of the recent editions of Elan Tit-Bits that my doctor father gets almost every month. Read on...


My dad had only one eye. I hated him. He was such an embarrassment. He cooked for students and teachers to support the family. There was this one day during elementary school when my dad came to say hello to me.


I was so embarrassed.


How could he do this to me?


I ignored him, threw him a hateful look and then ran out.


The next day at school, one of my classmates said, "EEEE, your dad has only one eye!"


I wanted to bury myself.


I also wanted my dad to just disappear.


I confronted him that day and said, "If you're going to make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?"


My dad did not respond.


I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger.


I was oblivious to his feelings.


I went out of the house, and had nothing to do with him.


Then I studied really hard and got a chance to go abroad and study.


Then, I got married.


I bought a house of my own and had kids of my own.


I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then, one day, my father came to visit me.


He hadn't seen me in years, and he hadn't even met his grandchildren.


When he stood by the door, my children laughed at him, and I yelled at him for coming over uninvited.


I screamed at him, "How dare you come to my house and scare my children!


GET OUT OF HERE NOW!"


To this, my father quietly answered, "Oh, I am so sorry, I may have gotten the wrong address."


And he disappeared out of sight.


One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house.


So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.


After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.


My neighbours said that my dad had died.


I did not shed a single tear.


They handed me a letter that he had wanted me to read.

"My dearest Son,


I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and scared your children. I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.


I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.


You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a father, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.


With all my love to you,


Your Dad"

तो ज़िंदा हो तुम

Last night I was watching Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
I was forcing myself to stay awake because I had never watched it complete!:P
So in a half asleep state what I remember the most were 2 things:
First, was when they went skydiving. Farhan's reaction when he landed- epic!
And the second, the end! Imran's poem.

दिलों में  तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ ले कर  चल रहे हो तो  ज़िंदा हो तुम 

नज़र में  ख्वाबों की बिजलियाँ ले कर  चल रहे हो तो  ज़िंदा  हो तुम

हवा के झोंकों के जैसे आज़ाद रहना सीखो
तुम एक दरिया के जैसे, लहरों मैं बहना सीखो
हर एक लम्हे से तुम मिलो, खोले अपनी बाहें
हर एक पल एक नया समा दिखाए

जो अपनी  आखों में हैरानियाँ ले कर चल रहे हो तो  ज़िंदा हो तुम,

दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ ले कर चल रहे हो तो  ज़िंदा हो तुम!!

Oops I remember only this much! But I like it a lot :)

So, One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering... because ZNMD!

It's raining!

If I were you I'd be taking it easy
Kick back and relax for a little while
We'll all still be here tomorrow
Take time just to act like a little child
No matter what the world has in store for us
You got the ring that better get off of us

If your boss is giving you pressure
Let go, take a breather in the park
You've got to find out what's your pleasure
In time you'll be singing like a lark
Pretty soon your sorry will chime for all
Somebody will heed your call
Reach out for a comfortable chair
Rejoice and throw your arms in the air

'Cause it's  good life

So why y'all tripping

The good life slipping away!

 

On reflection, one of the things I needed to learn was to allow myself to be loved. So I had a pretty lazy day

Finally, it's raining after 100 years and I'm sitting outside, in this beautiful weather watching the rain pouring.

Don't you love the sound of rain against your window on a summer night!? Like the sound of a shower running on full-blast. Thunder, lightening...

And this amazing wind... What an amazing way to end this lazy day :P

Wow!!

It really feels so relaxing just to listen to the sound of rain. so beautiful.... no wonder, it's an inspiration for so many poets, writers and many romantic songs. :P I remember the one from 3 Idiots!

Thank you god! . So now I forgot all my worries and I can peacefully go to sleep! This rain saved my day

More than happy!

*Disfrutar de la vida * (:

Yes? or No?
This question had been troubling me since the last 11 days... and I've had many sleepless nights, worrying :| 
Until I finally decided NO! after thinking nearly a thousand times. Because there was this voice inside of me, who knew that I deserved better. 
And I'm glad that sometimes life gives us a second chance, to correct our mistakes. 
I'm writing after a really long break! I saw my world change in the past 3 months. But that's too much to write about! So, details in the next blog posts.
Life has indeed lost its charm! 
It's all gone wayward. 
I felt like writing out loud so I could feel a bit better. But when I sat back and thought, I was blank! !!
B-L-A-N-K
As blank as a... blank thing. Empty. Nothing!!
(Has my brain stopped working?)


I've been thinking a lot lately about taking chances, and how it's really just about overcoming your fears. 
Because the truth is, everytime you take a big risk in your life, no matter how it ends up, you're always glad you took it!
And how can I say that? because I just know it!!!

How do you let it go? When you,
You just don't know? What's on,
The other side of the door
When you're walking out, talk about it
Everything I tried to remember to say
Just went out my head

Yes, it's Chris Brown playing right now!
So, coming back to the main thing, since then I have seen a drastic change in myself! I HAVE seen a new me and I don't know how! 

Sad days were over and I felt like a bowling pin - All set up again! 
Until that night when I was completely shattered. 
So much that I just couldn't speak a word for two days!!! That made me realize ...that I get demoralized way too easily.
 So now I've started paying lesser attention to what people say
(except, of course the people who really matter!) 
All I know is that I kinda gotta figure out what I need (yes, again;) )
And to prove someone how wrong he is!
In Vidisha's words, "Chaabi lo .. te gaddi set karo! And aal the way to D*****" There are never any real good reasons to put your dreams on hold.
Oh! and less than 7% battery remaining.. Oops! I need to end this post now, though I'm surprised I wrote so much despite being so BLANK :P 
See you all in a while! Stay amazing!
Disfrutar de la vida (:
P.S.: Sorry for the Blink Blink! I just couldn't think of any title!! 

Bateeesa Forever!♥

As the clock strikes 12, I remember a girl whom I met somewhere 4 years ago in the School Bus going back to home.
Back then, I had no IDEA how important this girl would be to me in the years to come. As we started buzzing, got addicted! Slowly, over time we became the best of friends....inseparable! More correctly, we became Fraternal twins! (okay i know it's not funny) ... For one of our teachers(who happens to be our favorite!), "Apoorva" and  "Vidisha" became synonymous!
I have never ever told her, but whether she believes it or not.. She brought a metamorphosis in my life. Long story cut short : over the years we collected unfogettable memories.

My 25 years Dance! If you're a good observer then you would notice - Vidisha (right) 
ki bholi si muskaan ke piche kya raaz hai :P

• Science Exhibition, when we talked for the first time (Haan, Main vahi hun!)
• Annual function where she danced in a black lehenga (I still remember that!)
• Our getting addicted to Twitter and Blogging!
• That day we ate  Gol gappe TWICE
• Another day we ate Gol gappe when I loved it the most! (Kya mirchi hai Bhedu!)
• Another Science Exhibition next year..when we were STUCK IN SCHOOL at night I was scared as hell and she was chilled out! (That was the Killat hai day!)
• Our 11th vala auto (HP 05 1472) where there was Head Boy..which was replaced by Junior Head boy and his sister
• 12th vala auto (HP 05 1209) which I , Vidisha and my brother can NEVER FORGET... once again, New Head Boy with us..Luckily he stayed till the end this time!
• Silver Jubilee Function, my dance and then eating Kulfi with aching feet 
• 2nd day of the function, where we came ALONE...LATE AT NIGHT!! Can never forget "Bhagat Singh" and "Raam Raam" (Yes you know who I'm talking about)
• Our secret code talk (Maan na maan, main teri mehmaan and Magic Makeup Box)
• Our talking at 3 hours at stretch after final exams (Supersonic Cruise Missile-Brahmos)
• The Shivratri Fair (Check out earlier posts if you wanna know more)
• Our common future aim (I wanna say you have it, girl-you have all the talent... just don't let anything stop you and you WILL get it what you want)
• My getting emotional after her getting worried that I'll leave her in a month(*sigh* High School wasn't meant to last forever!)
• Our having crush on the SAME GUY! (Q-T)
• Giggling when the "Stabuser" and "Preet" saw pretty girls and did what they did...and how Q-T secretly laughed after that!
• The topics we used to talk on (how the hell did they get in our minds)
• Our singing "Give me Everything Tonight" everyday while going back to home!
• The moment *someone* sang - I can't PREEEEET without you (okay..VP rocks I agree!)
• Constantly nudging each other to get serious about *studies*
• CID memories!
• Another one to come will be our Farewell Dance (February 14, 2012)
• Its 1:30 am and sorry for forcing you to stay up to read this.. but due to the fact that i'm half asleep, I AM forgetting half the things..Why the hell does THAT matter .. we both know what we did...right?

We never had even the littlest of any kind of fight till now! and we won't ever!! It's amazing how amazingly similar our amazing thoughts are!
 By the way,
you might as well be thinking that I remembered her on January 26, 2012 00:00 am ? 
Why? Today's her Sweet 16!
Dear Vidisha, you've taught me many important things in life.All I want to say is you are just PERFECT. Stay as sweet as you are...always! God Bless you Bhedu!!! - We'll always be together!
*Disfrutar de la vida* :)

P.S- I LOVE YOU  ♥♥♥

Speeding in the Winter Rain!

So the day was ... fun! (glad to hear myself  say this after a long long time!)
Today, I was woken up by my sweetest way. That just gave me all I needed. 
 Yeah I had my Physics exam today, and it DID go well! (for the first time that!)
But why I will remember today forever was because of what happened on my way back home.
As soon as I met Shruti, I looked up, worrying that it might rain any minute. So, to reach home in a hurry,  she started her scooty in a jiffy and I quickly climbed behind her .. and off we went. 
100 miles an hour?
 I don't know. But however fast that was, it was enough to make me believe, for just one second that I was time travelling (yes, have your laugh)
In 21 seconds, 
IT STARTED RAINING...
Heavy downpour!
She sped her Dhanno even faster, and I couldn't see anything (I wonder how did she, either!)
I kept telling her "Please slow down, I wanna get home ALIVE", but then, when the intensity of the rain increased God knows how many times, I forgot everything else, and just started to enjoy the ice-cold water pouring over us! That 20 minute ride back home just made my day!
When I reached home and got off... I saw myself in her rear-view. WOW ! then I realized I was dripping from head to toe. It felt like even my blood had frozen Arrrr!!!
And now as I'm done drying my hair, I think .... such days come rarely in my life.
Okay, it was chilly, along with the "Shruti-Effect" ... abusing everyone who came in our way.  But nevertheless, that was something I can never forget.
It was probably the first time that I had enjoyed winter rain this much !
*Disfrutar de la vida* (:

Gone Crazy... Will be Back Soon!

Yup! I made it myself.. tried to copy it from
somewhere.. It's not that perfectly done!

Clouds

Storm

Death

Regret

 Past Present FUTURE

Tears 

Ocean

Chocolate Ice cream (have your laugh)

Stalactites and Stalagmites (laugh again)

Betrayal

Acid

Knife

That's a very old habit of mine. I just scribble down anything that's bothering me and I don't know why I do it! I seriously don't!!

These are the words running on my mind for like right now and have been there for like, 4 days and not letting me do ANYTHING except just think about it!

And I didn't make this one !

So I tried to write something after a really long time and couldn't put it into words! So here am I with JUST some words. Never in the last 17 years and one month have I felt more broken, sad , disoriented and lifeless.Plus the people around me and those living with me are acting like STRANGE. It really hurts.

What's worse? I don't know the reason. 

It can be that I'm going insane(for real, this time) But I shouldn't .Because I'm having my Physics exam in a day. And I thought  would feel a little better if I just write something about it.  Writing your heart out really does a world of good to you.

So now what I'm going to do? I still don't know but what I do know is certainly not think about the rubbish I wrote in the beginning. 

That's it! THE END

I was about to write but didn't feel like writing the old familiar words of mine(you would know if you're a regular reader) 

Why? Hmm.. because... that coming from me, right now would be, ironic.
