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! :)
