Actually so many things happened, if I sit and make a note of it I am sure that’ll b the d last day ull be reading my blog(realized it only after writing 4-5 paras n still lots 2 be included). So here’s a list of events that made my day..

  1. Joined GRE classes after thinking about it 4 almost 10 days…was in a dilemma whether 2 go 4 MS or MBA…

  1. Got myself a new PC assembled..a much awaited one!!..infact I was planning to buy 1 since my 12th boards

  1. Our college fees was hiked by almost 75%...shocking fact..but had 2 deal with it coz no option

  1. Surprisingly cleared my sem 4 n tht 2 wid decent percentile..tht was least I cud have expected

  1. Met online, a great friend..found a confiadant in her..been through lots of ups n downs..but frankly speaking it was fun..was my 1st of its kind!

  1. Gave my 1st presentation..PCT PPT..it was supposedly a group work..but thanks to my group members,leaving aside a few,there was hardly ne efforts from others..it was a learning experience!!

  1. I was for the first time so busy in my same old boring routine of college,class,home that a few of my friends thought that I was trying to disregard them..im sorry friends,it wasn’t intentional

  1. I,with my MT (Millenium towers,place I live) friends organized Ganesh utsav in our colony,which was appreciated by everyone..wasie we too had a blast..especially during Prasad distribution..

  1. Last bt not the least,started blogging..im kinda addicted to it..started for a simple reason..improve my speed but then ended up earning a few $’s.. hehe..jus kidding…frankly speaking it was all about speaking ur heart out,especially when u dnt have ne1 2 share ur innermost feelings..thot will share it with some unknown people who can atleast understand what im,especially when the one’s u know leave u alone,half way through!!

It might sound something very common and usual but for me it was something really exciting,happening,that I never expected!! In the end was left confused by a lot of questions unanswered..over all a roller coaster ride it was,worth experiencing..njoid a lot!!

Adam n Eve

Friends..its a must read n therefore tuk a risk to actually post sumthing illegal on my webpage..copyrights are reserved with u my friend(1 who wrote this)..[:)]

IN THE BEGINNING, God created men and women. The men were without finesse and poise, and ignorance was upon them — or, at least, that’s what the women thought. God felt sorry for the men, who looked cluttered, dirty, filthy, grimy, and grubby. And, God said, "Let there be metrosexuality," and there was metrosexuality! God seeing that metrosexuality was good, separated the metrosexuals from the ignoramus — the few who refused to look at the light or the mirror. And, finally, God said, “Let the naive machos take a back seat,” and so it came to pass.

In the meanwhile, the metrosexuals, who were gifted with an aesthetic sense and left with an ugly amount of time and money, went about the task of changing the image of men. They hit the spas and beauty salons with a vengeance. They got themselves manicured, pedicured and waxed. They got their craggy faces scrubbed, exfoliated, massaged, and preened. They got their skin re-hydrated and moisturized.

They splurged money on fairness creams, styling gels, concealers, tanning powder, beard-shaders, and lipsticks. They chose their designer wears with care and concern. One of the metrosexual icons went on to act in an ad, showing him enjoying a bath in a tub filled with rose petals, with the screen sirens, whom the ad once featured, in attendance.

The women, who used to complain that men smelt like a pair of used socks, were surprised when one fine day the men came out of the beauty salons prim and proper and fluttered their mascaraed eyelashes. A few women were worried by this sudden development, but a majority of them welcomed the new-looking men and their designer labels. At least, men would not hereafter cringe when it came to spending on cosmetics, the women reasoned.
Lo and behold! The men and women started splurging on cosmetics and designer-wears. Looking good never looked so good before, they thought.

God saw this, and God did not like what he saw. He could not tell them apart. He could not tell who was Eve and who was Adam. He thought that the metrosexual man, instead of complementing the woman, was trying to dethrone her and occupy her place. He thought of Adam dressed in fig leaves. "That was much better," He muttered to Himself. Then, God said, “It is not good that the men should be like this." He let confusion enter the minds of women.

The next morning some women thought that the metrosexuals looked like sissies and duly shifted their allegiance to the retrosexuals. A few women thought that the retrosexuals were Neanderthals who wore their sloppy looks and slimy attitude on their filthy sleeves. The others wondered to which category those brawny bods with no brains belonged.

Some craved for the good old types — men who looked unkempt, unshaven, dirty, speckled, stained, smudged, soiled, spotted, sullied, and immaculate in their crudeness and cussedness. And, each woman wondered whether that was what she really wanted. They could not say for sure. The confused men, who were waiting for the Freudian slip from the women, were left wondering, “What do women really want?”

When God found the men and women trapped thus in that Babel of confusions and counter-confusions, He knew He had done His work, and decided to take a day off.

LDR...post 16

Here's a poem by GARY R HESS that i feel sums up it up 4 MIKE N SANDRA...

When love has come
But soon is gone
It begs the question
Was it there

The love was lost
And never found
Lost without you
Lost without me
Lost into eternity

The love was just a figment
A figment of our minds
Something we could ponder
But never express

Was it love or just a feeling
Was it love or just healing

Healing from the hatred
The hatred of our hearts
Our past was deep and full of pain
We needed this to release the stain

For this I do not regret
The time with you that I had spent

YES friends,,thtz how i wud lik 2 end it..but is dis
actually the end of it??? lets keep our fingers
crossed...jus kiddin Mike...well im sure u must hv understood wt LDR now stands 4..
u got tht rite..LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP..
hard but worth trying..its all wht i hav learnt from my friend,Mike N Sandra..she still is!!

LDR...during 16

(….contd)

Well, it was the beginning and definitely not the end of Mike and Sandra. They started sharing every single aspect of their life, almost depended on each others support at every walk of life. Emotional support was what they required. Doesn’t matter how small or how silly it would have been, they had to share it with the same excitement. There was a state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. None of them ever accepted anything but everything was written on their faces..(you can’t deny that, Mike)

Sandra managed to pull out a very different and much required “MIKE” out of my good old friend mike. Self confidence was boosting like anything inside our new and much improved MIKE. He started analyzing things very minutely, got a bit more homely, became more careful about every small thing in his life. He was simply enjoying his life. His wardrobe changed completely, got a makeover done..(still skeptical why did he had that makeover, I mean Sandra lived 100’s of miles away from him, and she wasn’t even coming to his place in near future, neways)..was getting compliments from all his friends and family. Ditto for Sandra. We were good friends too. Occasionally she did call me, just to know more about my friend mike and in the course I managed to get a lot out of her as in her feelings, what she feels about mike and believe me I was so moved by her faith and belief in herself and her GOD, there are no words to explain it. She managed to convince me that if you want things to happen they’ll happen come what may...sounds very flat and normal but then listening to Sandra actually made me realize it for the first time in my life!!...THANKS SANDRA

Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep….things are'n't hunky-dory all the time. A relationship is like a burning fire which needs to be rekindled every now and then to avoid getting extinguished. There aren't any short cuts to it. If u dont go through some rough weather,yo'll never understand the joy of smooth sailing & fortunately they both agreed to it. TRUST & PATIENCE was the foundation of the relationship they shared. Please don’t misconstrue my statement, its under the assumption that FAITH is obvious, with people having done Masters in faith n all..hehe..

Suddenly out of blue, Mike messaged me “Dude everything’s over..things weren’t going our way..and its really HARD”..I just couldn’t believe wt was I reading..I tried my best to convince him that things can be sorted out because i was sure i had to do something with patience..I was so sure that it must have been something wrong from his side,definitely coz Sandra cud never have done that to Mike,though Mike till date never told me what happened exactly(this guy can go to any extent just to keep his words)..all he told me was something really went wrong between both of us n we decided to stop it once and for all..for a moment I was shocked!!. Is this Mike n Sandra?? How could have this happened?? Im sure whatever be the reason both of them were HEARTBROKEN..4 sure!!

That was a short (as in time period and not number of lines i have used to potray it..lolz) LOVE STORY…was it actually a love story?? Neways Life’s a continuous learning process and im sure both of them learnt a lot from this..Mike’s now happy again, maybe because his past memories keeps haunting him..(sorry for being rude 2 u mate)..Hoping the same for Sandra..LONG LIVE THEIR ETERNITY!!!

LDR's!!...pre 16

For those who are still wondering what LDR stands for..i request them to be patient coz once u start reading this blog ull have an intuition of what it is!!..So just wait n watch!!..now here's a story of,1 of my closest friend,that has somehow troubled me a lot...still wondering,why so!! but thtz a fact maybe bcoz i was associated with it rite from the 1st day...so 'blogging' down story of Mike n Sandra...

It all started with the most happening n the most talked about networking site today in INDIA : orkut.com. Mike was thorughly into orkuttin world since his higher secondary results. He coudnt go to bed without having a scrap check. So hoooked that guy was. He actually had his own valid reasons for using orkut;wanted to keep in touch with all his GOOD OLD friends,fair enough!! 1 thing that was commendable bout Mike was that he never perverted from his usual practice,I mean orkut used strictly to keep in touch with his friends and at times expressing his views on a few other communities n thtz it!!

Everything was moving very smoothly for this simple-minded,cool guy. Generally he never accepts request from people who he hav'nt met,or hav'nt heard of, bt could'nt resist accepting a friend request from Sandra. It was actually after a lot of research work(as in any common friends,communities,ets) did he finally had the courage to accept her request. It was not only about courage but one can say "a strange exaltation that was indefinable"..(hehe..dnt mind buddy,Mike)he just could'nt digest the fact that some unknown girl from some unknown college staying miles away from him with no common friends could even think of adding strangers to her already long list of known friends..huh!! Still Sandra managed to partially convince him that it was in DESTINY that they met online..

Well..lemme give ull a brief intro of the girl in picture,Sandra..firm believer of destiny,dreamy n therefore creative,full of ideas,luvs 2 talk 2 people,n most importantly make friends..dis as all evident in her 1st chat with Mike..a few days after Mike acccepted her friend request!! I still remember their 1st chat online..Mike got so engrossed in Sandra tht he completely forgot he had to attend his GRE classess..4 d first time Mike was actually late..i jus cudnt beleive my eyes..boy who was so punctual about attending classes entered late in the class. Ghosh! sumthing was definately wrong with this guy. The whole day he was blushing for no reason. It seemed as if he had found someone in his life(he had,actually)..I tried my best 2 extract sumthing out of him but he kept saying that "everything's normal,nothin new...got late bcoz i had overslept"

Days kept passing by Mike n Sandra kept chatting by..suddenly out of a blue moon,dnt rem wht happened exactly bt cell nos. got xchanged..Mike promised Sandra to call her soon..n guess wht Mad guy cudnt resist even for a single day n gav Sandra a call,after thinkin for bout n no. of times...coz he wsnt comfortable with all dis kinda stuff,ol frnz,callin unknwn people jus 4 the heck of it!! bt still jus to keep his words,Mike called Sandra..Unfortunately she cudnt answer her call,bt a friend of hers requested him 2 call her up after say 5 mins..O man,Mike was so confused..wts goin on?? he reckoned that might be Sandra's playing some pranks with him..jus for fun...bt then she started givin infi misd calls..he 2 reciprocated..Mike jus cudnt believe his eyes..Unknown girl giving him a missed call..lolz..

Finally as soon as everyone in the house were off to sleep,Mike called Sandra..the moment he heard Sandra there ws this feeling of oneness that he cudnt hide and they went on talkin:bout life,hobbies,friends unless n untill Mike realised that he was calling from a postpaid number..hehe..pity Mike!! It was just the beginning,Mike n Sandra both got so immersed into their conversation day in day out..they had enuf common topics to talk about..to discuss bout..their daliy chores in details..u should hav seen the happiness n joy in both their eyes(thou personally i hav never seen Sandra but the way Mike xplained it 2 me,it was obvious)..

LOVE ws in d air for sure..things became dead obvious bt none of them cud actually take that step forward..it was crystal clear from Sandra's words that she has started likin Mike..for the man he is!! Without even meeting how cud hav Mike taken this step forward..he was very reluctant..he even explained his point of view to Sandra,who was in no mood to agree..she says that its all about degree of faith u hav in urself,little faith says "I can do it"..a step further "I will do it"..n nth degree says "It's already done". Mike ws quite moved with it..he started accepting changes,4 a change!! Slowly bt steadily he kept accumulating more n more out of Sandra..mayb he was thinkin in THAT terms..thou not quite sure!!
Wait a sec believe it or not..all dis happened within a span of 10 odd days!!

Everything was axiomatic..it was just a matter of as to who will take that first step..& dis poor guy,unaware bout the universal fact that it has 2 b a guy ALWAYZ..(frankly speaking i dnt accord 2 it)..waffled not bcoz he was shy but only because he ws unsure as to whether she feels the same as he does?,if she does'nt he'll loose a gud friend?,what will she think bout him?..all his questions remained unanswered till 16th midnite...

That nite i still remember both of them confessed that they like each other. After an hour-long gf-bf talks..(lolz) they mutually agreed that nothin further can be said before they meet personally..Sandra,a worshiper n Mike,a altruist were so excited n amazed by some unusual things happening in their life,completely in awe with the time on their side..n as Sandra always says "This is life,njoi every second of it"...they did exactly the same............................................................
