The truth unattended: Trust

Just yesterday when I was talkin to one of my school friend,she made me realized that it was a decade that we had known each other …a decade wow seems really long time…

@ that time I started pondering who are the other friends with whom I have the same rapport that have with this friend…or who are people whom I believed that we would have the relation as I have with her. Though we had our set of fights end of the day the faith in our friendship really made it easy for us to get back on track…..

That is when I was thrown back in a pool of memories.

Yes there are school friends of mine whom I am still in touch with…but its just not the same..

Also there have been people with whom I had spent some of the best moments till now…but somewhere down the line the spark, the comfort zone completely got lost[couldn't really get to know the reasons from the person]…

Don't you sometimes fall in a situation when you are with some friends…they call themselves to be your closest friends. but still a part of you doesn't allow you to share things with them…

Similar thing happens to me when I talk/chat/hang around with some people whom i call friends. its just the trust factor…

The mind strictly disapproves you to trust the person in front of you….

Trust is a fragile thing. Once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom, but if you loose it then it becomes really impossible to get it back.

Also one important thing that I noted was. you never know whom to trust…The so called close friends may betray you and walk out of the relation,or there are some friends who just play the waiting game and push you too call the relation off by ignoring you to the core, But there are these set of strangers who can come to your rescue.

End of the day I believe you only trust yourself, I feel it's a very safe option than getting burned by a futile relationship…

Rejuvenating trip

Goa trip..don't know where to start from...Had been to goa last weekend just for 3 days...Ok dont get excited i had been to a temple for some pooja..sounds boring rite...specially when we relate goa to beaches...when i say i had been to goa to some temple you must be laughing now...iam sure.
But ne ways took a train on Friday nite at around 11 and reached goa at 1 in the afternoon...had lunch and went to th temple..temples in goa we have to book in advance for doin ne pooja's and that exactly wat we did.
After doin that had the whole evening for myself...just took a stroll around near the temple with my nokia N95 and captured snaps from various sides...was really fun using that fone and capturing the beautifully carved temple...
As nite fell in the scene got even better lights all around the temple looked just as a newly wed bride....really amazing...


The next day was fun too got up early as i wanted to sit inside the temple ans listen to the sooting sound of the bell of the temple early morning...and also hear the chirping sounds of the old ladies who sit inside the temple to see flowers.
Through out the stay in the temple the food is something that njoyed a lot...The mouth watering aroma that came from the temple canteen always seemed to pull me in side the canteen...also the food der was dirt cheap....
The view of the temple,the drizzling of the rain,the laid back attitude of the people der,the sweet konkani language and 2 sweet friends[ananya and adit] that i made all combined and made this trip really worth remembering...
After this trip I really feel that I should go der once in 6 month

They are back and back with a Bang

For quite some time we heard people cribbing that its not raining.We read in news papers ,we saw in news how people were making offering to god trying to make him happy....
I guess rains god were really happy on them so it poured like hell today...not to end up like this...These pics were taken near my house Chembur- Amar Mahal.
I am sure the same people who prayed for it to pour must be praying again to god and stop this rains.

The Carrot, Coffee beans & Egg

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her.

She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see."

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.

Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg...

Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.

The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity -- boiling water. Each reacted differently.

The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.

The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"

Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat?

Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff?

Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.

When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

Walkout :-)

From morning today I was not feeling like goin to college.But somehow I convinced myself to go to college as we had TAX lec today.
I dragged myself to college only to see a handful of people in the class. Later we sat fooling around for almost half an hour when we heard the peon saying that we had to move to some other class. There, I knew this would be one of those combined classes where there is no value addition. Ne ways I asked myself again should I sit for the combined lec, answer was loud and clear in my mind "NO NO ".
But again as I had come to college I decided to attend the lec as It was no harm and understanding the concepts of TAX again...
So I took the seat farthest from the professor so that I could do TP while he would teach....The fun part was the actually class which was supposed to be present was not der...We could see only 3 students from that class rest all were our classmates.
Our jaws were wide open when he said that he teaches MIS to this class...LOL we were damn pissed of on the peon that time as he dint inform us that it was a different subject all together...More over it was MIS ..the subject of which we already had a overdose last Friday
So as expected we switched of and stopped listening to what the prof was saying.
The prof could understand that we were not in a mood to listen. Poor fellow tried to make us feel comfortable saying that"You can listen to me sometime and then decide if you wanna stay or move....or 2nd option is you can leave now itself, but I suggest the 1st choice"
The professor must have got a shock when in just 2 or 3 min half of the class moved out of the class. keep the class high and dry.

It was one of the most best walkout I had in years.. truly njoyed it.Dint feel guilty at all for walking out….had a huge smile on my face just like this :D:D

Music Mania

• Hoshwalon Ko Khabar Kya
• Pehla Nasha
• Gum Sum ho kyun - Shaan
• Jab koi bat Bigad gaye
• Suno na - Jhankar beats

What does all have in common...its the soothing voice which you can listen to ne time ne day isnt it?
Yesterday had really gud time chatting with Shwetzzz..
Dont know from what it started..but we were just discussing about old songs...and in no time we were mailing each other some of all all times hit.As we were doing that we actually lost count of the nos of songs we talked about..Songs well not just songs...these are little little memories attached to each of the songs
Like the

Jab Koi bat Bigad jaye - remembered the time I had spent with my BMS group on the beach in Goa during our IV...at nite
Suno na - Jhankar beats - remembered we had gone for this movie to I max Wadala and it was pouring like crazy outside
Jab Kab- - Jhankar beats - remembered playing this song to a close friend.....

Like wise most of the songs had some memories attached..And i bet most of us do that...All during the chat is was Fun pulling Shwetzzz tang as she calls it :-P
As she hates it when I call her by her name....I still like doin that...she really gets agitated when I do that.
Sometimes dont we just wonder how a small conversation can open doors to past..

Nite outs

Nite outs...something that I always look forward for...I really njoy it ,there are many reasons and some are

• A nice get together.
• Late night snacks :-P
• Going for a stroll late nite to get a cuppa tea on the tapri's
• A lot of leg pulling.
• Conversations that seem to never end....If we actually keep a tab on conversation...it starts at something and ends at something else..i mean its like a chain reaction..which keeps on going on and on
• Then one thing is i Njoy the most if troubling everybody and keeping them awake till it shines bright ion the morning...[amey jack.pinks,nams,Isha and many more have experienced that...]and trust me they still curse me for that. etc
  

Well the last nite out we had was not different either, four of us had a real nice time...it was fun mainly because of the conversation we had....yes we do talk about some things which are serious in nature[times when we like to argur on some things] but there are also some conversations which mainly limit to Jack..[Rite Jack???]

Also there was this session when we went down to get something to eat..the hot Bhurji pav and pulav and pav bhaji... man oh man..it just tasted awesome...
Mumbai central is definitely is more lively at nite's for various reasons:-P

The best part was we started watching Andaz Apna Apna...a movie which I can watch ne time ne day...I have seen it so Many times that now we can actually mumble each dialogue.
It was something at around 6 they rest of the gang decided to sleep..but as usual i wasn't feeling sleepy so i decided to pour water and everybody turn by turn and wake them..

A Beautiful Suprise

For quite sometime me and Divs have been having these small small bets and when any one looses we are supposed to get the other person Brownies..
We always knew that brownie part is just a joke, but we would still keep count of how much the other person would owe us [at one time she owed 1000 pieces].But as soon as exams came we were so involved that we actually count of the number of brownies,

Day before yesterday out of the blues it just clicked me and I jokingly asked Divs for my share of brownies....She as usual said its a lost deal...The deal had expired X-( ..
We just started arguing in the middle of the lec..and I kept reminder on her cell saying "Take Cake/Brownie" for the next day
As she has Monginis shop rite in her office..I kept a reminder on that time when she would be at work and she will be able to pick up the brownie.
But She forgot to get it yesterday...well I also forgot to ask her for it....
But today when she came ,she sat next to me and asked me to open my Bag...and she removed a Monginis box...With a smile on her face she said..here got u a "Chocolate doughnut"
It was indeed one of the most beautiful surprise for me...as we both knew we were not serious about the bet.And dint really expect brownies.
Yes I agree food does bring a smile on my face,but this was different....it felt really nice thats she actually got a doughnut...
Thanks Divs Thanks a Lot..
And yes I did njoy the doughnut on my way to office :-D

Sunday

Sunday July 6th, was supposed one of the best day for sports lovers,reasons well

1. Wimbledon Mens finals [Nadal vs federer]
2. F1 race
3. Asia cup finals

With all these thing on the menu, Sunday was ought to be super cool...But Everything was thrown for a toss.
To start with it, Ferrari dint end up on the podium.
Then a marathon game between between Nadal and federer [4 hrs and 48 min to be precise] the longest finals was won by Nadal.Now for fedrer fan it was really bad as I wanted him to win his 6th Wimbledon finals.
Then India loosing to Sri Lanka in the finals,Ajanta Mendis the culprit here, he snatched up 6 wickets....
I had canceled my plans to meet up with friend just coz i dint want to miss ne of the listed events,Iam sure they must have cursed me a lot,But seeing everyone loose I felt it would have been much better to go and meet
Was really down but wat made my Sunday evening gud at the end was the awesome food that I had for dinner :-)

I know after reading this you would laugh...but yes i am like this ,small small things makes me happy.
I had been planning to go for shopping for quite some time now....and finally Sunday i decided that its high time that i do go for it.
So morning mein i decided that I would go to shopper's a pick some t shirts.After that when i came home..in the afternoon i logged on to my orkut account..Normally I ignore the line which says Today's Fortune.

But when i saw it yesterday it actually said"you will get new clothes today"...hehe it felt so good...Dont know but it really made my day.
I am, sure the next time when i log in to the site i wont miss to see what fortune it reads for that particular day.
