Memoirs of a Drunken Junkie Shuts :)


There we go! A post every day for 22 days, which started on the 1st of April has come to an end. I don't think there is a particular subject that I'm going to write about now... Did you guys know that the Mayans never wrong with their prophecies and their predictions? We approximately are in the time range of the natural wobble of the earth which is roughly about 26,000 years. It is also known as the Equinox cycle and natural disasters have happened every time the cycle has ended and a new one has begun. Coincide these 2 with the recent earthquakes, cloud bursts, hurricanes, tsunamis, forest fires, floods and the other natural calamities, 2012 seems like it will be the time when Mother Earth hits the "REFRESH" button. She needs a break and we've broken her too much. 

Okay! I'm not going to talk about the devastation et al. But let us not not ignore the possibility of Earth's cataclysm. A lot of people I've known have shied away from a lot of things they love doing or want to do, just because they feel others would laugh at them and it'd get embarrassing. Seriously? If you knew the world was to end tomorrow, would you behave the same way? Wouldn't you do everything you wanted to do? All those small dreams, the big ones, the impossible ones. You'd push yourself so hard that the impossible would seem like nothing at all. If you can do something like that when the situation arises, why can't you "ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS" in life?

There's no fun in doing the bigger things in life if you don't enjoy the smaller ones.  Whenever you get a chance, you must pounce on the opportunity to make sure you don't sigh later. 
Make people laugh, even if you are called a clown. There's nothing called a PJ, if it manages to get people laughing or even smile. Even PJs are good. I like them. In fact, my arsenal's filled with nonsense!!

Stand by your values and your thought streams, no matter what! Many times, people close to you, some very dear to you will present you with an option of choosing something or someone over your values and goals. It is imperative that you choose what you are. Once you let go of your values, thoughts and goals, you no longer are the person you were! That only invites double the problems. 

DENIAL is not wrong. It is, if you deny yourself of something you treasure for something else. Often times, I have been asked to choose people over my outlook in life. I've been presented with situations where I've been literally forced to be someone I am not so they can be happy. That is temporary. Happiness is when you are happy. Happiness is when the other person realises and accepts the person in you. Friends, family, relatives, strangers-- no two people are the same! There exist similar people but there's a HUGE difference between being same and similar. You can never satisfy anyone forever! If you have been assured someone or if you have been assured about it, you have either lied or have been lied to. Think about it. 

I have been a very volatile person all my life. Relationships haven't lasted long and all thanks to what I am. And I don't hate the fact that all of that has happened because of what I am. I am what I am and I know there are folks who want to be like me. But just like ‘similar and same’ are different, ‘to be like and to be same’ are different! Someone can be like me but can't be me. Ditto with me. I want to be like so many people.. Those who have a great social life. Those who have great friends, awesome jobs and a fancy lifestyle. But I don't want to, too! It's quite a cliché. 

Alright! On that note, I'll end the last post on my blog. Hope everyone has a great life ahead! One with everlasting happiness, luck, love and good health! Have fun and save Earth! 

Today's Earth day and my birthday! \m/.. I know I'm the ulimate saviour and I have to come to people's rescue when the day arrives .. 




Nazdrovia!

We're all so Indian! :-)



This happened a few weeks ago and I was coming back after my classes and I saw a Sardar riding a motorcycle with his kid sitting on the tank and his wife as his pillion. She was holding a LARGE suitcase and she had this innocent look on her face. All of us had to stop at the traffic lights and I switched my bike off- I had 90 seconds before our side would get the "Green" signal.

The Sardar for some reason thought I was checking out his wife and he kept looking back at me. And she was looking at me from the corner of her eyes, to check if I was checking her out!
Loll... It was then that I actually started checking their family :P.. Something happened and a bike ahead of me went ahead and there I was, right next to the Sardar's vehicle. His kid was knocking the petrol tank and he was humming a tone I had no clue about. The Sardar was looking at me rather angrily and I didn't know how to react to it.

I actually wanted to see if his wife also was giving an angry stare so I looked at her and she was still looking at me with her head bent down. She looked so much like the lead in Love Aaj Kal.
The chota Sardar then looked at me and he raised his eyebrows and he looked exactly like the sardar kid in Kuch Kuch Hota hain.

On the other hand, papa Sardar was getting angrier and he started to look like Bobby Deol in Bhagat Singh. I was starting to get worried if I'd get beaten to pulp by this hefty Sardar and just then our turn had come-- Aaah the Green light! I raced past him. Sardar and family far behind now :P.. Phew :D

I reached Lifestyle flyover at Begumpet and a guy bumped into another bike. It clearly was his fault. He then shouted in pain and then the guy whose bike he bumped into went into a console mode, from his angry mode. All done, both of them started their bikes and went off. I noticed this guy(the one who was at fault), chuckle as soon as the other guy disappeared. Nothing had happened to him. That scene looked so damn filmy. He actually was a good actor.

No matter how much we improve our lifestyles, no matter how much we act different from the crowd and no matter what we become as a result of life’s doings on us, we will always remain the filmy, Bollywood Indian. Most dialogues used to impress those of the opposite sex are pick offs from Bollywood movies. Not just cupid, fights, arguments, sorrow or happiness--- everything’s so filmy yet so real!

It’s just that we’re all so Indian!! :)

Super huge thanks to everyone who’s dropped by my blog :-)... 24 more hours and I’ll already be an year older and this blog will be off the blog-o-sphere.. Super awesome \m/...

RoHiT's blogger awards! :D


Wow! I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for 20 straight days and I just cannot express how quickly these days have passed. The day I wrote the first post “The day draws near!” seems like it was last week and uh! This is one thing which will be perennial for times to come- “Hey! Time’s actually flying at the speed of light!” ...

Uhmmm... I expected mixed reactions in me about the blog’s closure at this juncture but surprisingly, I am not! A few hours ago I was thinking to myself about my blog and I was like “yeah! So 2 more days!” and all that was without ANY reaction at all!  I guess that sends a very clear message to Mr. Emotions.. Go try infesting someone else! :D

Now that the countdown towards my blog’s closure has begun with 3, 2 and 1. Today’s day 3 and I want to waste NO time in letting the blog-o-sphere know about the blogs I’ve liked, taken inspiration from and those with great quality of words, theme and efforts!

The first one obviously has to be MY blog and my work. I totally OWN every other blog. Yes, yes, don’t wipe your eyes, or the screen! You read it right: P....


Numero Uno!

BloggerRoHiT Iyer
Blah blah about the Blog/blogger— Oh! So the blogger is me!! **Whistles, claps and applauds!** The post which was intended to be the first one, titled “Memoirs of a drunken junkie”, still lies desolated in the drafts. I’ve never found the interest to publish it, for it contains some horrendous accounts of my past (the fun ones) and I didn't want the world to know of it :P. All of them, which obviously relate to my blog title. I decided I’d be the one who’d read it and cherish it. There are just about a couple of people who know the contents of it, which I blah blahed during a conversation.


Second Spot

BlogTarmak 007
Blah blah about the Blog/blogger— He writes extensively about the Indian armed forces, the IAF in particular. I was impressed when I read about the 26 year project the IAF undertook. AK wrote all about it with such intricate detail, that I instantly hit the follow button and I kept myself updated with all of his blog posts. They are all rich in quality, content and information an Indian should know. Love his blog. I probably am partial to him, over a couple of other blogs I regularly follow, like Devilzangel's, Raghu’s and Rinaya’s. The effort he puts into his blogs is unmatched. It is a must visit blog for every Indian. More so if you are an IAF fanatic! Click his blog to follow and read his dynamic blog.


Third Spot

BloggerDevilzangel
 Blah blah about the Blog/blogger—She writes her own blogs, unlike me. She started off writing about her air travel experience and I honestly didn’t think it was formatted well, described the way it could have been and a couple of other things. And then, she put on Devilzangel’s cloak and she began weaving extraordinary poems. No hypes! Go checkout some of her old poems and you’ll need a defibrillator to get yourself back to senses. I was like- “Hey, okay! I’ve woven some good poems too. No big deal!”.  And almost as if she heard me, she began writing fiction! And that’s the point she equipped her blog with a V6 engine and zoomed past me waving a bye. My blog was driving an Indian Maruti 800 and I “THINK” I saw her wave. Or did I? I am not sure! It was wayyyy too fast!
Go check her blog. Go through the history. 2010 was a magical year for her blog. Read ‘em all!



Fourth Spot

Three people share the fourth spot and you actually can consider it as the third spot “IF” you think I shouldn’t be including my blog as the first one!! But you and I don’t think alike. :P.. Never mind the order. Let me start off with the person I haven’t interacted with.

BloggerNethra
Blah blah about the Blog/blogger— She writes a lot of blog posts. When I say 'lot', I mean LOTS of them!!  She writes about random stuff and there is no definite pattern of her posts I’ve noticed! No complicated words. An average reader won’t have to google a word and then get back to her blog. Once you start reading it, you invariably get to the end of it in a few minutes with a wow, nice or a cool comment come outta ya mouth! I haven’t commented much on her blog but I definitely check her blog for updates every week!


BloggerRinaya Jena
Blah blah about the Blog/blogger— I am not quite sure how I came across Rinaya’s blog but sometime in 2010, I came across her blog, read something about her 'Secret Crush' and I loved the way she put her emotions into describing how and what she felt for her secret crush who isn’t a secret anymore :P. I bookmarked her blog and I kept going back to it for updates. I am not really a commenting kind of a reader and so I probably haven’t commented all that much but yeah I’ve read most of her posts and they’re really good.  You SHOULD visit her page and tap into some of her Wandering Thoughts. You can wander too :-)!!



BloggerRaghu
Blah blah about the Blog/blogger— He’s the only person on this list I’ve known personally. So there’s a LOTTTT of things I can tell about him. But knowing a person really well, also cuts down the description on a public forum. Weird, but true! From his blogs, you already know he freaking writes in three different blogs. I must tell you that he does NOT leave his blogs deserted. I can absolutely not fathom how he manages to write at least one post a week in each of his blogs. He started off as an Okayish poet, transformed into a serious emotional good poet and now, he writes great poems and fiction! He’s actually writing a story (fiction) on “Journey Begins” and he already has lots of people checking into his blog for an update each day!!  His works are very expressive, simple and enthralling. A must visit blog too!

So, that’s about it. You can say I came up with this ‘cos I had nothing else in mind to write about! What better way to thank you guys for all those good reads! Keep churning those amazing pieces of art (I call them art). I’ll be watching over you guys. **points his index and middle finger to his eyes and then at you**..

As Promised!!


During a conversation with a friend on her birthday, she asked me to write a blog post as a b’day gift and I said I’d post the entire conversation to which she said “chalega” :P... So here’s the blog post as promised...  I’ve delayed it a LOT. The conversation happened on the 28th of December 2010!!  And that she apparently shares her b’day with 2 other friends of mine. Classmates and jaan jigris they were at a point of time—Nitin Verma and Sriman. Loads of success, happiness, love, luck and good health to the Hadippa(Kripa), Tintin(Nitin) and He-Man(Sriman).


@ Hadippa- - I’ve fulfilled my promise. Now no one can claim my soul. Muhahahahahaha \m/


Me: hadippaaaaaaaa

Ok, now that I’ve fulfilled my promise. I actually did sign in on Gtalk quite a few times after that and I never asked you about the secrets you claimed to tell me. I will ask you the next time we meet on gtalk. Beware!! :D..  
You must be wondering I took it quite literally and posted the conversation. But you said ok to it :P.. Ab when I said I will toh I have to na! :P
Were chabadhis on your menu anytime recently? Loll :D
