SY says "He kept on dreaming. He kept getting bitter."
I wonder if he's talking about me!!
Twenty Eleven
2011 is here. And like all new years, brings with itself hope, aspirations, dreams, resolutions checklists and last but not the least, a blog post.
Normally on new years, I make myself some promises, make a few resolutions and set a few targets. This year is no different. I have promised myself that I want to end 2011 as the best year of my life so far. And inshallah I will do so. There are finer details, let me keep them behind the veil for the time being though.
Here are wishes to everyone for the year ahead. Hope the year brings with it lots of prosperity, luck and happiness.
P.P.S.: Hope to become regular with blogging once again!
Keep Calm and Carry On

Yaari Dosti and Phone Calls
I have reached that point in life where I don’t get time to call friends. Not that I am busy. I go our for long lunches, go see movies, sleep enough, take breaks etc.
But I still cant find to call old friends! Damn!
More about Mobile Blogging
So now that I have a smart phone and a lot of tome on hands to kill, I am trying to discover what all can/may (till about two days back I didn't know the difference between the two) I do with one.
Of the many things, the one I am most excited about is mobile blogging. Pity my wordpress blog is still not accessible from this device but I can use blogger and post here.
Subscribers beware! For the fury of mini blogposts is about to be unleashed on you!
I came, I saw, I wrote
I am bored outta my wits. I cant seem to find an occupation that would interest me enough, a friend who will keep me engaged, an activity that I would enjoy.
There is nothing to do expect waiting for that inevitable moment when your blip would disappear from the radar. Yes, I have been thinking about it for quite sometime now.
Anyways, I am so bored and I am wondering why am I the only one to get bored like that. Let me write a totally boring post. What if I write about everything I see right now? Apart from my laptop screen, the headphones and that low battery sign flashing on the lower right corner of the screen.
I am looking at Polyester Prince, Filming, Into The Wild, The Matlock Paper, Bedside stories (flicked from Krasnapolsky) and a book that is covered with newspaper. Along with these, I have a piggy bank that is almost full. Need to buy another one. Two actually. One to collect all the change and the other to collect coins from other places I have been to. Then I have a bronze Ganesha Idol that KG got for me. I have a bong that I got for CYR, a Rubik’s 360, a Hexbug tht I got for KG. Got all these three things from my last trip. Then I have sgElectra’s keys, a CD spindle with I don’t know what all disks in it, a pen stand and few pens and pencils in it. A couple of boxes of pencil lead. And my BB.

An Ode to Agony Aunts
Amongst all the wonderful things that God made, before He put us down here, probably the most underrated is this creature called the Agony Aunt.
Folklore has that when Adam got bored of Eve and all the apples in the Garden of Eden, he got so disillusioned with life that that he actually shunned all forms of pleasure. He became a nomad and set about on a journey, with no destination in mind. And while he was meandering around, he bumped into this his wonderful creature, which initially looked like yet another human being, but tuned out to be much more. He immediately felt at peace moment he saw her. He knew that she might not have all the answers, infact no answers at all, but she is someone with whom he could be himself again and let all worries take the back seat. He called this creature Agony Aunt.
So who exactly is an agony aunt? Someone who is around when you need her? Someone who you trust? Someone who won’t judge you for your actions or for your thoughts when you go and bare your soul? Someone who would not sell out gory details of your actions to paparazzi for paltry money? Someone who would not expect any damn thing from you? Someone who is all of this? And a wee bit more?
I am so grateful to this life that I have the bestest agony aunt ever. Funny thing is that no greeting card company has created The Agony Aunt’s day. Lemme take a lead and declare 15th Nov as Agony Aunt’s Day.
Happy Agony Aunt’s Day VK! Thank you for everything!
