Should olde acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind ?

We’ll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.

When times are tough and troubles don’t cease, there’s still music and memories:) Thank you 2017 :)

Of Rights, Wrongs and Truth

I am going to get hurt anyway, so let my battles be amazing, and worth all the pain.

Slow down, dearheart, and breathe - slowly, softly - like this breath is your first one; feel it with all your lungs.

Do you see it? Life is right here, and you can bring harmony with whatever tune existence is playing for you. It doesn’t matter what song, it doesn’t matter who picked it. What is of moment, however, is your resonance with it. So take a deep breath, and find that key!

Life can be a grand sweet song, so start the music. And sing in tune !

[crazyutopian]

From a long long time ago:)

What if Time could stand still

for a few seconds or perhaps a minute.

What if I could hold every moment 

Until I could truly be in it.

What if the magical emerald mountains

Alive with silence, and spirit that is free

Took me to their bosom

and shared its sacred mysteries.

What if beautiful music

Stayed and played in the hearts of all.

Heavenly enchanting and wondrous sweet,

To soothe the sorrows of all.

Home-Maid Catastrophes

         I remember reading this hilarious line in a book by Saki - "The cook was a good cook, as cooks go; and as cooks go she went." Goodness, how I had laughed then at the clever turn of words, and the sharp brilliance of the pun.         Well I'm certainly not amused right now - my maid quit on me without notice! The very first person I hired by myself could not stick around for more than a couple of weeks! She came, bullied, and then got bored. Then came the AWOLing, and soon after that we parted brass rags.A trifle disquieting, but I'd like to think she had some unknown and unavoidable compulsions.. makes me feel better! What was cute though, was my next phone call with Mom. She complained about her maid's woeful irregularity, I explained how mine had abandoned me, and it was a real pleasant half hour chat we had about our respective grouses. Felt like I had reached a milestone in my life - having the maid talk with Mom. God I'm getting old.

The time has come, the Walrus said , To talk of many things Of shoes and ships and sealing wax Of cabbages and kings, And why the sea is boiling hot, And whether pigs have wings :-):-)

Answering Why

Nothing good ever gets done out of anger. When you do something, start a project, or whatever - think- who and what is it that you are doing this for? To impress someone? To get back at somebody? Exact revenge? Prove a point? Yes to the above? Really? Then go back, because it is worthless and you deserve to give yourself better gifts.

Homeward Bound

It's usually wrong, but there are certain situations where you have to Live and Let Die. Nothing so badass as a James Bond movie, but one definite candidate is when you're travelling from Bangalore to Mysore in one of them special ordinary red buses. Do not let your niceties trip you up! So, moral of the story, learnt the hard way - Do NOT sit in the aisle-it's too messy, and you're likely to get pushed and stamped. Also, do NOT talk to babies on the bus.Turns out, they are messy, spill too much, and wipe their baby hands on your clothes. And also, as always, avoid the creeps and jerks. Also, you don't want to get your hair entangled with the metal watches of the standees(Seriously).

Missed my train, took the last available seat on the last available bus that had every inch and more filled with standees. But I'm home now. And all the BS is so worth it :)

Mum's the word

Living alone, I realize more and more how similar I am to Mum.Never expected it! But more annoyingly,I realize how she's always,Always and ALWAYS right!All right, Mum, enough already!How do you know EVERYTHING?!

The Ides and Tides of Time

It's irritating and it's wonderful that life is full of anomalies.There are those run of the mill everyday rules that the physical universe operates on - and then those marvellous and beautifully unfathomable mysteries that are there to stump us and perhaps make us a little humbler. Surely, it's not our job to know and have an opinion about everything. We must choose what we want to seek. Perhaps time and quiet and contemplation can take us closer to our goals.Meanwhile, let the anomalies remind us that nothing is textbook all the time.And let them stop us from awful snap judgement, rash conclusions and indulgences in hearsay.Because Time is a resilient warrior - earnest about commendation and ruthless about retribution.

Why you should go to college

Sometimes, all you have to do is show up to have a good time.All JCians will testify! You could climb straight out of bed-many of us did, literally -you could walk in- and be sure that your day was going to be crazy, adventureous,chaotic and just so so so FUN!I never had one dull moment here- used to sometimes find myself craving for a little normality! Because when you can show up in your oldest sweats and unkempt uncombed hair and a backpack full of well meaning but useless stationery, when you use one Classmate Diary and partition it six ways for six subjects and it still lasts six semesters, when you derive pure sadistic pleasure by making the parking guy chase you around campus for the three Rupees you owe him,when you bunk classes and go home much much later,when you make up crazy titles and become presidents of phony clubs,when you're planning secret parties under the pretext of planning Lex and Yacc sessions- you just have to call that place Home.Home, because you're barking mental, and everybody loves you anyway:) SJCE.

Where you find aeroplanes casually parked in gardens, and so much more:):)

My girl♥

Because love matters.And because we all need that best friend to bring home our crazy to. What would I ever do without you?

[crazyutopian]

Seriously true

Run for your lives when someone asks you your "honest opinion" about something which matters to them.Excuse yourself politely! I for my part, have a smile-and-sprint strategy worked out.Works really great.

Time doesn't change anything.Doing things changes things.Not doing things leaves things exactly as they were.

I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings.

You can’t always get what you want.They’ve said it and sung it so many times too -it’s everywhere,it’s ubiquitous. So why do we still hurt ? And why do they say it’s not ok to be a cynic? Look at Dr.House- didn’t work out so bad for him, did it? Sure,he lost a limb learning the truth- but that...
