And here I go again.

Somewhere deep inside I know this will never work, but there’s still this tug that says that maybe I shouldn’t give up that easily. Can I love anyone more? I can’t tell. But it’s not easy to deny that the pining doesn’t stop, the ache doesn’t diminish. The beauty is that I know he knows, or he’s playing around. I’m his friend; he’s something like that Forbidden Fruit. So irresistibly in my face. He makes me want to shut up and listen, while he talks and laughs. He makes me want to change everything about me, and yet make me feel something like complete. He’s everything I want, and I don’t know whether I should tell him that. I need to stop stuffing myself of him, and start looking at life beyond him…which is the way it will turn out.
He’s a dream personified, and I’m addicted to dreaming.
I’m still scared of the ‘L’ word…
I think that if I say it is, then I’ll never be able to move on…
It’s annoying, yes- but I’m sure there’s a little comfort I get from the idea that there’s more I can push me to.

Rhythm divine

Boredom strikes again!!
Save an 18 year old from dying of entertainment-hunger! The brains of an astounding 2 million children are permanently damaged due to the lack of fun every year.
Putting up a few favourite songs- the lyrics are lovely, in their own way.

How to save a life- The Fray
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
pray to God he hears you
And prey to god he hears you


And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours, grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life (x2)

How to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life (x2)

If you leave - (OMD Covers) Nada Surf
If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
We've always had time on our sides
Now it's fading fast
Every second every moment
We've gotta make it last

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd still be friends, someday

If you leave I won't cry
I won't waste a single day
But if you leave don't look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You've got to say you will

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again, someday

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again someday

If you leave
If you leave
Don't look back
Don't look back

Whose line is it anyway?

I thought I should pen down some of my favorite dialogues I heard people around me saying. I think they beat any big-shot novelist!
I've also tried to remember who said what, and in what situation. Some come just out of context, but I have a feeling they're worth it.

Give it time
- Manasi to me, when I was in a heartache-cum-euphoria stage.

Arre intensity chaahiye yaar!
- Aakash to a wild and frustrated Ankit, during our EC skit. It didn't make him one bit of difference that 6 other people were on the verge of breaking his empty skull.

Isn't it time you gave some respect to your feelings?
- Pankti, when I refused to confess my affection to Perennial Smarty.

It's not you, it's me
- Everyone I know, to everyone I know.

Being happy, by the way, is very different from being content. You, are content.
- Perennial Smarty, on someday where I was all calm and smiling.

Tu hi meri sukh-dukh ki sathni hai.
- Shriya to Manasi, when I said Collin's gonna be my carrom partner.

Gaandu saala
- Johanna to Horzy, in an orkut conversation.

(More of an exchange, this one)
"Happy birthday"
"It's okay"
- Myron's birthday, and his reply to Sonika.

The world is a big place. You will meet a lot of people. You will meet your soul-mate. You are not alone. Lekin pyaar mein mat padna, log deewaane ho jaate hai. Deewaane hue paagal. Salman Khan?
- Mr. CP Sharma, our economics professor, during a lecture when we were talking about demand graphs. This was the maximum sense he ever made. He may die of excitement if he hears I've quoted him!

Tujhe kabhi pimples ka problem nahi aaya hoga na?Kaafi clear skin hai. Sahi hai yaar
- Dilpreet, on the IIM or IIMnot day. What I didn't tell you, is that all the while I did have the pimples, I was sitting right in your house. Funny you didn't notice then!I was probably the Pimple Queen of my school!

Ab toh hass saale
- Yash, a TY to Vishal, an SY- during the GBM after SNIFF's first day.

Main nirdosh hoon
- Ankit, when Maryam and me trapped him between us on the bench because we thought he was very cute.

Whooopeee New Year!!

Got the idea from Chris' blog. Thanks again.:)
Resolutions are a part of New Year celebrations- you have them once in a high state, and then move on like nothing happened.
This time, I'm gonna stick to mine, if not for determination's sake, then for the sake of getting a boyfriend! Of my choice!!
1. Lose 5 kilos a month, that should get me to human dimensions by my birthday. So that also means:
a. No chocolate (done).
b. No cheese.
c. No baahar ka khaana
d. Gym.
e. Running.
2. Get a boyfriend by July!...enough time to lose weight, start learning to drive, flirt (which I am as good as an antelope with humans). I'm 18, damn you! My mum had probably already decided to get married at this age!
3. Get my driver's license. Which will be done tomorrow. Promise.
4. Get my passport done. Which will also be done by the 5th. A birthday gift to my aunt who has been nagging me, and is even ready to bribe people so that I get my work done hassle-free!
5. Publish at least 2 more articles in newspapers. So that'd mean internship. That'd be a tough one, with publishers having stopped recruitment. I'll let you know when the stuff's published.
6. Grow my hair back. No hair cut. Let it grow junglee till December.
7. Stand first in class. Ankit, you watch out. My projects are going to be something people love watching.
8. Be popular in at least one city college, as an essay writer who doesn't let anyone else win. Big bad girl. Grrrr...
9. Finish reading Word Power. I was supposed to do that long back, but it's better late than never. This should actually be slotted into quarterly goals.
10. Save cash. For buying more Colaba stuff. And movies.
11. Movies only on Tuesdays, unless someone's treating me.
12. No ragging Aakash- I started that today. He stared at me like I was giving away my house to an Orissa victim. The class said, for once in unison, "Yeah right".
13. Not attack people when it comes to arguments, give them breathing space.
14. Paint my wall.
