Paani Puri to ek bahana hain,

Duniya ki sabse sundar ladki ke saath jaane ka…

Paani Puri mein kya rakha hain,

Yeh to sukha hain, paani ke bina baijaan,

Par yeh ladki apne mein hi hain kamaal….

Paani puri ke liye line mein lagna padta hain,

Par yeh sundari to line marne layak hain…

Paani puri, kabhi khathaa, kabhi meetha,

Yeh ladki to sabhi ka milap hain…

Paani puri to ek bahana hain,

Enke saath samay bitaane ka…

Finally@Over

Finally we are over with our final course @NID…..on Brand Management…..finally!!!

After so much of fuss over the course timings and stuff……whether it should be before jury, after jury….later on…….when will be the faculty available? When will we all be around…….at the same time…….?? But we finally managed to have it……with all here except one (missed you N)……

Over 2 years we had so many modules……design drawing, form, material exploration, SLA, open elective, entrepreneurship, retail, …..Mini projects, major projects etc etc…

Each course was different……. Some courses were quite successful……some were ok…and some disaster…….. Especially the major project 1 and 2(for which we have to stay back now….shit man….)

Some courses I enjoyed and some I hated……. Some I slept through…… One I hardly attended…. I liked some faculty; some were okay and hated one and still do……

All the extra curricular activities like monsoon fiestas, various festivals, salsa classes…..all have been great great fun………..and ID winning the MF 2006 was great moment for ID as a whole and for me as I wanted to end my last MF on a winning note…..

Overall 2 years here have been enriching…..have gained a lot but have lost a few…..
Still don’t regret coming here……….always wanted to be here…was my dream to be at this place…….tried at UG level, failed miserably…. Then thought will give it a shot at PG level…and thank God got through at the 1^st attempt…….. I think that was one of the best moments I ever had when I heard the news that “your name is there on the list”…. I was in the train on my way back to Delhi after giving the interview…..was absolutely elated for few moments, couldn’t believe it but soon came back to reality………

Then came here and spent some of the best moments of my life….met some great personalities….some great people….have made some really good friends ( I hope)…..and had many ups and downs, many personal problems as my class mates call it….. This place has thought me many things…..but don’t know how much I will be able to implement in my life ahead…….

The last 2 years have flown like ‘The peregrine’ (fastest bird) before I could realize……. I wish I could relive this 2 years again……..but I think it’s the time to look ahead…..exicted but scared...

Who@She

Who is She…?

Is she the one who cares for you…?

Is she the one who snaps at you…?

Is she the one who bears your mood swings…?

Is she the one who is ready to come with you anytime…?

Is she the one who shares her joy and sorrows…?

Is she the one who trusts you blindly…?

Is she the one who tolerates all your non sense…?

Is she the one who respects your feelings…?

Is she the one who is never sarcastic…?

Is she the one who is always there to listen to your stories…?

Is she the one who matches footsteps while walking…?

Is she the one who dances with you…?

Is she the one who makes you eat when you not well…?

Is she the one who makes you feel good about urself…?

Is she the one…?

AHahahhahHA

Possessive@Anything

Possessive………what is it??? Being possessive about things which you own or is it being possessive about things you don’t have……I think its both….

Possessiveness about things, work, one’s possessions…..it can be about relationships (which you do not own)…… Possessive is the word which can have both its pros and cons…..Depends from individual to individual….

It’s good to be possessive about things to an extent so that you can take care of things in a better way…as you consider it close to yourself….. But too much of it can lead to a problem….as it happens with kids generally…….they are possessive about their parents, toys and almost everything…..and if you take their possessions away from them….they cry……L

Things are still ok…….but being possessive about relationships can be very critical, excessive possessiveness can lead to crisis…….

How can one quantify possessiveness……. Where can you set the limit…..? No idea…

Packing@Room

Finally the day is here when we have to pack our stuff and vacate the hostel...... asap

So I started packing yesterday…….but with great difficulty as I was very very lazy to do it and moreover feeling awful of leaving the hostel for the last time….. And thus end of my life as a student (To a great extent…)

1^st of all I was having a phobia against this word “Packing”……. “Sooo much too pack….” Started off quite well……packed 2 suitcases….one trunk in no time….so was really happy….. “Good Start”….but slowly I was losing on the pace as I was really tired and…..didn’t know what next….started again……packed 2 bags, with great difficulty….but nevertheless was happy with the outcome….

Then slowly and gradually as I was putting things in the bags…..I was not able to decide…..what to keep and what to discard…. Thinking that if I discard it now and by chance if I need it in future, I will regret it…..so it was getting really annoying to decide….Acted like a true Libran, very indecisive…..once again…..

It has been almost 8 years since I have been out of home……staying away….so over these years have accumulated so so many possessions…. that its not even funny….All through these 8 years have developed some kind of superstitions with some of the belongings…….but this list of belongings has become too long and heavy…..some things have a great emotional attachment and some I just can’t dispose of for some unknown reason…..just don’t feel like…..

When I have to decide what things I have to discard….. I am finding it terrible…. I just can’t get rid of things….. Many things have a special place in the heart…. Which I just can’t prioritize, this has made my job even tougher….. and if I try to do that I feel guilty of not giving importance to all my possessions…. possessions (include gifts, collectibles etc) How can I throw off some body’s gift or anything which has been given to me with so much love (not sure..), collectibles…which I have collected over the years and kept to great care… Basically it has been a really tough job for me to decide……. So because of the uncertain mental state I have packed almost everything thus making my luggage once again very heavy…

Seriously it is a night mare to make a choice on what to carry physically and what to carry as just memories….

Shoot@TeaSet

Today was the day….when everything had to go wrong…..hahhaa

1^st of all I got up late for the shoot…. (Product shoot for my assignment)…. and then
things were not arranged….so my friend and I went to one of my friends place to get some materials for the shoot….. Got few…. But not satisfactory…

Came back…..started the hunt for better ones… got a ceramic bowl…..which we thought would be good…. And while cleaning………it broke…..shit man!!!

Again we set on the search for an alternative….. Went to a shop on campus….. After convincing the sales person got a bowl…… (To be returned in half an hour).

Went back to the shooting site….. Where there was another requirement…for a table mat…. So came back to the same shop …and thankfully got it…. (Again to be returned asap)…

So we were shooting for my product…… and things were going well….. But suddenly heard a breaking noise…… and to my deepest fear…….it was the bowl with cheese that I borrowed from the shop………. ‘I am gone’….this was thought that came instantly… freaked out….. Don’t know what to do…. But some how…. I was better than before…. meaning was able to handle the situation more calmly….then I would have generally done….. A bit scared went to the shop with my friend (thanks RK) to let the sales person know what happened with the bowl…..

When I told her that ‘it’s broken’ and her reaction was ‘what’…. And my reply was…. ‘I will buy the whole set’…..what else can I do…. She felt bad for me…..and was very sweet….and she thought if there could be any alternative to help me out…. But she had no choice and I had to buy the Tea Set which cost me a bomb…… but no option again….and then thought of sending it home…and will ask mother to keep it for my wedding…hahahahhahaha…..

After this incident every step I took today….was filled with caution and fear of something going wrong again….Today I acted calmly may be because ‘Today’ I could afford to buy the TeaSet……but if I couldn’t have…I have no idea what would have been the situation like….. After the incident still went back to the shop to borrow some CDs for the shoot…… (Every moment I was scared of breaking the CDs this time…but fortunately…CDs were returned in one piece)….. And yes people around had there share of fun….

P.S.: Thanks a ton SS for all the patience and giving your valuable time……
