The thing called . . .

Yes, haven’t been posting much of late, blame the submission spell, not me. Submissions, the inevitable part of engineer’s making!!!

So, there are certain worries that are eating me up since last couple of weeks… 

1. The thing called Life; dunno where is it heading to, and why.
2. The thing called F.R.I.E.N.D.S.(the American Sitcom); its eating most of my time of submissions, the upshot of which is my incomplete submission file till the last moment!
3. The thing called Loneliness; I’m alone since a couple of weeks,(this family where I stay as PG has gone to their native Kolkata)  and as much as I always say that it doesn’t, but loneliness does get the hell out of me!! Not that I’m afraid to stay in this 2bhk apartment, I’m of course not, but the ‘loneliness’ is taking my breath away! “Aunty, Uncle, I miss you, Come soon!!!”
4. The thing called Responsibility; I have realized that my shoulders aren’t yet strong enough to bear any additional responsibility. Coz these people have gone, the entire flat is mine, Therefore, along with the freedom comes also the responsibility which I hate to accept. Responsibility of managing the house.
5. The thing called IPL (Indian Premier League); which comes free packed together with our End Sem. Exams (or the other way round)! And I m gonna face a real challenge yet again, a challenge to control myself from watching it (and ofcourse Saurav Ganguly)!
6. The thing called Captaincy of the Kolkata Knight Riders’; which has been passed on to Brendon McCullum from Saurav Ganguly! This news has taken me to rage against THE THING CALLED COACH OF THE INDIAN CRICKET TEAM!!! Why every coach has to make sure that he removes Saurav Ganguly from under Captain's hat and get a replacement???!!! First Chapell and now Buchanan!!! Both are *ssho***!
7. The thing called Cooking; as I have to take care of myself since last couple of weeks, I tried my hand at cooking. And mind you, I’m a disaster at it !
8. The thing called Vacations; Confused as to how to spend the vacations to get the max out of it, this being the last vacations of Engineering. Do CAT classes or a Summer-job.
9. The thing called Friends; though I’m making new ones and great ones, there lies this little fear and guilt inside me to have lost the older and dearer ones.
10. The thing called Time; my enemy since the time I came to this world! Its slipping away (since the time I was born)so easily without being made much use of.
11. The thing called Realization; that Engineering will be over soon and that’d mean being exposed to a greater world now! The Realization that how much friends will be needed in this phase of life where we will all be loaded with a glut of responsibilities.
12. The thing called Blogging; for which I dunno how much I’ll be able to squeeze out. But I certainly will coz this is something that directs my brain to a focused although for half an hour or so. Coz otherwise, my brain is un-focused!
13. The thing called ‘The thing called’; ie this post. Its not ending and its making me grumpy and ill-tempered.

Life has become sick and tired of itself. There’s nothing that seems to make me upbeat. Not friends, not family, not nobody!!!

Makes me recollect these lines from a song by Raageshwari, one of my favourites:

Duniya mein chalo akele,

Apne ho armaan,

Apne hisse ki ho dharti,

Apna aasman.

Ambar mein udi hoon main duniya ke..

Are haan, ye duniya, ye duniya badi rasili.

 The lines seem so ideal. IDEAL??? IDEAL is only a word to describe the imaginary state of being called ‘ideal’. What we have in life is REALISM not the IDEALISM/impracticality.

Be it your Thermodynamics or Mechanics or any process or just GODDAMN ANYTHING, Have we ever reached THE IDEAL thing??? NO!

We have always lived a Real life not the Ideal. We have always lived the Approximations not the Accuracies.

Its just there to make us realize that we are not in an IDEAL world. Bloody then why is this word defined, when it doesn’t really exist!!!?? Makes me wonder, why was 0(zero) introduced when that really is the state of non-existence of anything. (But that’s totally a different debate, 0 is essential, I know) 

0 is nothing then why is it defined? Similarly, IDEAL is nothing then why is it defined? Is it to only make us extra-sure of other things that exist???

Maybe yes, coz the entire world is a Relative concept. Nothing in this world is Absolute.

The more I write, the more I realize how complex can be the structure of brain. Its hell in there! My brain is a hell! I started with something, ending with some other thing. Maybe that can make you realize the struggle that my brain is going through these days. Struggle with life and Struggle with ‘the thing called …’ Whatever!!!

 

Goodnight/day!

 

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

This is an upsurge of feelings after having watched this series’ 2 seasons in 2 days and for maybe the millionth time! No matter how many times I see it, its difficult to get enough of this series called F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Everytime I see it I feel a superior impulse of having a life like that portrayed!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S , CENTRAL PERK, small job, stay together, have fun, make fun and ofcourse, at the end of the day, be there for each other ! What fun! Remotely close to what life we lead, burning our asses for studies and in the end settling up for a clichéd life with a job that earns you a bomb salary.

"When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I’ve been there before
I’ll be there for you"

Monica with her OCD but a great hand at cooking, is always spirited and obsessed with neatness. She is the one who actually bridges all the Six of them.

Ross, Monica’s big brother had a wife who was discovered to be a Lesbian but only after their marriage. Breaks off with three of his wives but his sincere love for Rachel is to die for, till the end. And not to forget Marcel : ) the monkey…

Rachel, hot, sexy, bold and a rich dad’s daughter but often ending up in wrong man’s land unless it’s Ross, ofcoss! : )

Phoebe with her terrible SoH (Sense of Humour) but a great heart is rather too cute. Her Absence of Mind (read: Absence, not presence) at times, makes you go mad in laughter!

The “how you doin?”-guy; Joey.
Joey, the neighbour is kinda person without whom a friend’s list looks rather incomplete. Its just so jaded without him.

And Chandler, Joey’s roomie, a complainer of his job, is a man full of sarcasm. But he is too sensitive when it comes to feelings. His cynicism in a way brings too much of jesting to the plot. Chandler gets married to Mon(ica) in later season ( I guess, 7th)

Watch anything a hundred times and get bore(d),
Watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S a thousand times, and you can only ask for more.
Its indeed more fun when you personify certain friends in your life as the characters in it. After having reigned for ten seasons and ten years it was finally taken off in 2004.

I wish I could put in all seasons in my Ipod and carry it wherever I go but I guess 8GB is rather too small a space to make it happen.

All I have to say is-
Your life is as incomplete without F.R.I.E.N.D.S as it is without Friends!

Love you all ! : )
Goodnight/day !

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. ---SongsI like #2

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or evenyour year, but

I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast so far, things are going great
Your mama warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees, and


No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Since you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the best with
Someone who always laughs at
Even when I'm at my worst, I'm best with you
Yeah!


I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too
