*jumping up and down in frustration*
I don’t know what’s wrong with me… I’ve got a weird version of writers block! Just cant seem to get the words out. Or rather… I’m STUCK!
Ok… sigh… let me explain. I have an article to write for work. Silly thing about Robbie Williams… but, for some unknown reason, I just cant get a handle on it! WHY!??
Gah… so my brief is basically, 700 words on Robbie. Make it current, make it snappy, use a lot of quotes, give the article a “Robbie” flavour. It should sound a bit like him. But… what is that exactly? I DON’T KNOW! I mean, sure, I do like some of Robbie’s stuff… and I guess I got to include info on Rudebox, since that’s the most current thing. But it cant be biographical! And I guess I’ve just gotten so used to writing these research papers for college, I don’t know what I’m doing here. Also, I think I’m suffering from a healthy, or un-healthy actually, since its stopping me form being able to write my article, which is producing a LOT of stress, amount of fear. Why? Well… I’m really scared I’m going to write crap, and they’re going to hate it. Which sucks. Coz now I cant write ANYTHING! Better to have bad work that can be fixed, then no work at all!
Which is why the frustration and jumping up and down.
Siiiiiigh… ok… now I’m going to take another shot at it. So ta-rah…

Sorry for the cliché
TGIF!
The day I’ve had can best be described in one word. Gak! Hehe…. Actually, it wasn’t that bad. Had quite a lot of work to do… But it’s only 4:30 and I’m all done. I would leave, but its storming. So I’m stuck here till it stops.
Hopefully that’s soon. I have a piano class to take at 6:30, and I don’t feel like cancelling, the kid missed last week too. But boy, I am not in the mood to teach a five year old. Usually I love it. They’re all so intelligent and they like learning, so it’s no hardship… but it also take a LOT of patience. Five year olds do not have a large attention span. There’s an understatement! It’s challenging to keep them interested, but it’s also really amusing.
On a totally different topic… I’m listening to my music library on shuffle. The strangest playlist is popping up. I just went from Hot Steppa to Boulevard of Broken dreams, and weirdly enough, it wasn’t that much of a leap. In fact, it was a pretty good segue.
Ok… now I’m going to go check on the rain. And if it’s stopped, then I shall leave.

Darn It!!
How come I can create new post and everything, but I can’t actually see my blog!?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh!!! *jump up and down in frustration.*
It’s been a week, and it still claims “this page is not available"
When the heck is it going to be? Huh? When!?

Ok... so maybe I'm not a murderer
And also, I like the way this blog looks better then my other one.
Just posted a couple of poems up on that one. I created them a month or so ago, but only just got around to putting them online. May as well put ‘em up here too. Apologies to those who read the other one as well So here goes:
Sit Awhile
Sit awhile and think.
Sit and dream of all things,
That were, and are and will be.
Sit awhile and see.
See the thought flow,
Like the play of light upon a prism.
Many streams,
From one clear contemplation.
Sit awhile.
Life is only worth
Your well thought adaptation.
Destiny
I sleep,
In this unguarded moment,
The door is open
And you tiptoe in.
So maybe they’re just dreams.
Only wishful thinking
And not the destiny they seem.
But who’s to say?
Is there some science that could divine the truth?
Or will only time tell?

ketch-up anyone?
Yes I know… terrible joke. Actually, I’m thinking of killing this blog… for a variety of reasons. But mainly coz I’m getting tired of apologizing every time I write for the fact that I haven’t written in months. So… maybe just one final post. And then officially axe it…
What to talk about? Well… lots has happened. Finals went ok. I assume. Haven’t gotten my grades yet. For my final project as well. So for all I know, I’m still in college…. What a happy thought.
I should probably call one of the faculty and find out what the heck is going on huh? Yes… I think that would be a good idea.
Meanwhile, I’ve started working. At… you guessed it, WorldSpace. Been here almost two months. Still not sure why they hired me… maybe I shouldn’t be writing that :) at office at the moment. Hehe… totally bored. Been working my ass off the whole of this week, coz a long weekend is coming up, and we wanted to finish all the work for the September issue of The Voice (WorldSpaces newsletter) before that. Actually, Monday isn’t technically a holiday, and Wednesday is only an optional holiday, but obviously everyone is taking Wed off, and Mon too, if they don’t have work. Which is the main reason for the crazy rush.
Anyway! As I was saying, I’m seriously, seriously bored. It’s always much worse to have nothing to do, after days of too much to do! I certainly find it much harder to cope. And when that happens… well… lets just say that I get a little paranoid. I start wondering, ‘am I doing ok?’, ‘do they like me?’, ‘will they want to keep me on after three months??’, and basically, fall into a quagmire of dark thoughts and self-doubt. NOT pretty :)… I assure you.
The people I work with are nice though. But I really, really don’t get why they think I know anything about editing, or writing for a magazine, or any of that valuable stuff necessary when your part of a content teem. I did tell them that although I did study media, my field of interest has always been film. And that I really haven’t had anything much to do with print media… maybe they weren’t listening.
See! That’s what I was talking about. Crazy thoughts! Although, sadly, true. I wonder what I’m doing with my life. I mean, I’ve always been interested in animation and Children’s Programming, what am I doing in a field so removed from all that? In a job I am totally unqualified for!? Seriously… what the heck is this? And why do I feel like the only one who doesn’t know where they’re going?
Frankly, I think I just need to chill. It’s the unflagging conviction of years of knowing exactly what I wanted to do with my life coming back to bite me. Saying ‘See!? This is what you get for being the type of person who decided what she wanted to do when she was 4 and stuck to it! THIS is what happens when you don’t go through that feeling of “What Next!!” after school! Serves you right you weirdo.’
Ok… now that I’ve really depressed myself, I think I better quit this topic. And the blog too… I never have believed in leaving on a high note. :)

Crazy ol' world
I don’t actually know what to post…
The world is just nuts. Or maybe that’s just this country. After all… in the last few weeks we have had; a riot caused by the death of a film star. A riot that killed 5 and injured 200! We have also had bomb blast in one of the primary religious compounds in our capital. See? Nuts.
I don’t know why Mother Nature even bothers with things like floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and diseases to try and keep our population under control. After all, we seem to have gotten really good at killing each other off. But maybe not quite at the rate she would like…
Although, I don’t usually consider myself a radical activist type, recently I’ve begun to wonder if Ra’s Al Ghul doesn’t have the right idea. Wipe out the human population, or the majority of it anyways, and start from scratch. But, the major problem there is, who gets to choose who lives and who dies?
A simple farmer is not educated enough, but the more educated have all the traits we don’t like in society today. A true conundrum. And no matter who gets to choose, or who is chosen. The results will not be fair.
‘FAIR’. Another unique invention of the human mind. No other creature thinks of ‘fair’. It is, or it isn’t. I have or I have not. You have, I want, I take, I have!
That is possibly the most complex thought process that any non-human creature has.
At least, I don’t think animals feel emotions like envy, or jealousy, or even competitiveness. They compete to survive! Not in a vain attempt to impress other people, to create an image, a mask to show the world and to hide behind.
No. All those feelings, thoughts, emotions… all, are exclusively and fascinatingly human.

Woo Hoo Hoo!!
*Jumping up and down – Tigger style*
I got my grades for the Ad film. All Ds! Oh, for those of you with different grading systems… D = Distinction. Yay me! :)
Our teacher told Paro and me that all the judges gave us Ds throughout! That means, for concept, creation, presentation, and everything else! And ‘all’ judges? That was a total of 6 people! Hehehehehehe
And I respect at least 3 of those people’s opinions. So, as you can imagine, I’m pretty happy.
Still no word back from WorldSpace though. So today I called Hari, one of the guys who first got in touch with me. He said things have been crazy at work, and he’ll talk to the other guys tomorrow and get back to me. I told him I really need to know, coz if they (or I) am not interested, I need to start looking for another job. We have to have internships by April. And I’d like to get a jump-start.
That’s about all that’s going on for now. No college, although we are supposed to have class this Friday. To go over our plans for the fiction film we still have to create. Paro and I both have ideas. Which I think are good. ;)
But Sam hasn’t even been showing up for class. So god alone knows what’s been going on with him. Kinda hope he doesn’t show. Things always get mucked up when we try to work together. Anyway, by Friday I have to write out the script for my story idea. Guess I should do that tomorrow. Not like I have anything better to do with my time anyways…

All but Dead
Ain’t it?
That’s mainly coz my internet connection has been pretty much… well, crap. But also, I’ve been kinda busy. Not really too busy to write. But you know how it is.
So Ra, I did not need that poke. Thank you very much *grumbles under breath, while rubbing arm*
Sooo… what have I been busy with? Well, firstly, made an Ad film. Which went well. Just waiting for my grades now. College is just as bugging as ever. Finals in June and we haven’t covered most of the portions. Luckily, they all seem to be a repeat of what we’ve been doing for the last two (and a half) years. So hopefully, no failing or anything. Even if we never do finish what we’re meant to.
This week, the only time I went in to college was on Holi. Our stupid co-coordinator told us we had class. But when we reached their, it was to find, what can only be described as a ‘mob’ of idiotic characters – none of whom we knew – attempting to cover EVERYONE in colour.
I hate Holi. The tradition is dumb – but that’s just my opinion. Somehow I’ve never really thought it was terribly jolly to be chucking even the representation of someone’s blood on all your closest friends and relatives. And having a random bunch of weird guys trying to get me involved in this idiocy is even worse.
Also. I got a job offer. :D Yay me!
Worldspace wants to know if I’m interested in coming to work for them. They’re going to be launching a magazine, and they want ME! I wasn’t even looking yet. Or in radio, or print media at all! But still. Very flattering. And actually, it looks like a lot of fun. It’s an amazing job opportunity. After all, think how good it’ll look on my CV. “was part of the Launch of The ____. A leading music magazine in India.” Hehehe… fun
Went for an interview last week. So now all I’m really waiting for, to make my decision, is their salary offer. They did tell me it wouldn’t be low. But in any media field ‘low’ is a relative term. But this is Worldspace. So I have hopes. As you can probably tell, I’m seriously contemplating taking this job.
Well, that’s about all I’ve been up to really. Doesn’t sound all that busy really. But somehow, I have been. And then, of course, there was the dreaded internet connection – or lack thereof – to contend with. But really, that’s no excuse for not writing in here… so from now on I’ll try and keep it up a little better. Ok? No more poking! :)

With aid in mind
My mom and I just watched Beyond Borders, frankly, I thought it was really good. But I think this guy describes it best… I would call it a must watch… maybe not more then once… and yes, there are errors… but, truly, it’s the point that counts. Why don’t more people get that?
I don’t really want to get up on a soapbox here. Mainly because it’s very late and I should go to bed - you all know how eager I usually am to shove my views in everyone’s face (if not down their throats, which I hope I don’t do…) but let me just say… every one of us is capable of doing something, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant, to help this world and all who call it home.
It’s ours and it’s our responsibility.
These last two years alone we have seen more death and devastation then anyone should in their lifetime. War, famine, flood… u name it, we faced it. And yet… here we are, enjoying our tiny little lives, blinkers firmly on. While millions do nothing but survive. More then 230000 lives were lost in the Asian Tsunami, many more destroyed. Hurricane Katrina killed mercifully few, but displaced thousands… and we cannot even begin to guess the death toll created by George Bush’s ‘War on Terror’.
Everyday people live with the realities of loss, starvation and disease. Is it too much to ask, that each one of us privileged enough – and truly we are - to have everything we need. Family, food, shelter, clothing… is it too much to ask that we spend one moment of time, one thought, one action, to help those in need?
I don’t think so… and the various aid efforts we have seen in the recent past should prove that. So please, do your bit.
We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all our pains
(So let it be)
There’s a love that could fall down like rain
(Let us see)
Let forgiveness wash away the pain
(What we need)
And no one really knows what they are searching for
(We believe)
This world is crying for so much more
- Good Charlotte, We Believe

I’m BAAAACK!!!!!!!!
Hehehe
Hi people! Yes, yes… I know. Sorry for the whole dead blog thing. Explanations are necessary I assume? Well… actually things have just been madly rushed.
Exams got over… then I had a few days off… but sooo much to do in them… after which I pushed off for Hyd, then Goa. (wheeeee! Not – but more on that later.)
Got back to Hyd on the 3rd… and was back home on the 5th. Which was yesterday… well… actually, day before, since strictly speaking today is already the 7th.
Oh! Almost forgot…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
May it b a great one for all of u. I certainly hope it is for me…
This semester is my final one… bit scary really. Now that I think about it properly I have a lil over 4 months to make up my mind about what I want to do with my life. Not exactly a happy thought. MONUMENTAL decisions must be made. Joy. Ack…
Mo-nu-mental problems is more like it… hehe… ok. Sorry, that was really bad. I know… but forgive me in my moment of weakness…
Also, one must blame any signs of insanity on the late hour.
It’s 4a.m. I was running a fever off and on all day…. WHAT THE HECK am I doin awake??!
Now that is a question I do not have an answer to… along with many others.
For example, why is ‘fruit’ spelt like that? It makes absolutely no sense! If u read that out phonetically… hehe… that’s one funny sounding word. Fruit should be spelt froot. Now THAT would make sense.
As would going to bed… which is what I think I shall do. So gnite folks. Goa and other fun topics at a later date… TA!
