Summer of '09 !!!

Long walks on the highway (our college pathway is what we used to refer to as a 'highway'), dumb charades (enacting movies as weird as 'Chinese Kamasutra'), relishing idlis in the mess, cooking maggi in hostel, endless seasons of How I Met Your Mother, Sex and the City, Prison Break, FRIENDS to name a few, college bus rides, gorging on sumptous meals @ TDS, buffet @ Indijoes, Ladies Night Out @ Firangi Paani, shopping sprees @ City Center, finishing assignments in the last hour, late night revisions and the best TP: the endless hours of gossiping (for the uninitiated, TP is Time Pass).

How I wish I could relive these days. Undoubtedly, those were the best days of my life...

I still remember the first day of my MBA, clueless (told you, its my fav expression). What exactly was a student interested in VJing and RJing doing here? Hyderabad was not so much on my list of favorite places. Damn It!!! I had never even thought of coming to this place. Delhi is where I belonged. All my friends and family were there. Whatever would happen to my frequent shopping trips with my sister, pampering from everyone, watching late night FIFA matches with my brother, never even bothering to get up and be bothered about anything. Doomed !!!

Each one of us, if not the exact emotions, would have gone through similar kind of emotions atleast once in our lifetime. All of are susceptible to change. Some like me, more and the others, a lil' less. And the best part is, you get through with it. But not without your FRIENDS!!!

You meet them in the mess, looking around for someone to talk to, you meet them in your class while group formation for case presentations, you meet them in the college bus offering you the seat next to them and mildly flirting with you, you meet them in the White House (college canteen is what we called WH), you meet them when you are still new and looking for directions in the widespread college campus, you meet them while you are trying to look for someone to help with your luggage, you meet them while getting ragged, you meet them during the induction process (formally) and you meet them at the Fresher's Party (informally).

We all keep the memories of the time spent with our friends, very close to us. How can one forget walking out on 'The Shane Bond' telling him he has too much of attitude (I am very sure you guys won't be able to forget that incident), eating out at the roadside dhaba, visiting the temple next to the college religiously, sharp 12'o clock cake cutting/ getting dirty ceremonies, all those couples who were the topic of our endless discussions, french classes, volleyball, badminton, working till the wee hours of the morning for presentations, endless assignments, getting drunk and walking in the hostels with straight faces......pheewwww (never knew I had such a good memory) and still getting the time to enjoy your life to the fullest.

Those, indeed, were the best days of my life!!!

I know I can say that when God created the world and all the majestic things in it, when he streaked the heavens with radiant color and the earth with grand mountains and awe-inspiring canyons, when he painted the plains with waving grasses and erected noble forests of towering trees, he outdid it all by creating friends.

A very very close friend of mine gave me a call last night, after 2 long years. Last month, I met this another very very good friend of mine, after 2 years. The one thing common: we bonded at the same level. Nothing seemed different. It was like back to college again for us. Blessed are those who have such wondrous people around them.

You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your FRIENDS!!!

(P.S: We should totally plan a get together, sometime soon. All six of us.)

Illuminated Hatred !!!

Nothing beats the charm of a night stay with your best girl friends. There is so much to talk about, a lot of gossiping, eating maggi with chilled Iced Tea (seriously), you don't have to dress to impress, messed up hair is no big deal and for once you can be yourself.

Wherever, whenever, guys surely form a part of such night outs. And so, this night was no different. A friend of my friend wanted her boyfriend to dump her. Exactly, what has struck your mind, struck mine too. 'Why couldn't she herself dump him?' Simple. To save herself from the brunt of his emotional burst.

Girls are innovative, I must tell you that. Ideas coming from all directions, valid, invalid, some very good ones, some nonsensical ones, some weird, some 'wow', some 'why didn't I ever think about it', and some 'you gotta be kidding me'.

So, what exactly can girls do if they want their boyfriends to run at the very sight of them? Read on to find more on it.

1. Men: Most men are bound to get jealous at the mere mention of the other 'guy' in her girl's life. And what happens if that mere mention becomes a recurrent phenomena? Well, you don't have to be an expert to decipher this.

2. Mobiles: A boon or a bane to our generation, I do not know. Late night phone calls are always a couple's fav time pass (obviously, to know each other better). First, you talk about the guy and then your phone goes all busy for 2 hours past midnight, daily. Poor soul, I so understand what you are going through.

3. Alcohol: A tried and tested formula. How much ever they would hate to agree to this, not all guys like the sight of their girlfriends wasted and sloshed, daily. Girls, take your cue.

4. Girlfriends: Obviously, guys do understand that you need to spend some time with your girlfriends. But do they understand that all of your time is theirs? Girls, go get pedi spas, mani spas, body spas, nail arts and hair spas done with your girlfriends. And yes, do not forget to put your phone on a silent mode.

5. Retail Therapy: Guys love to spend time with their girlfriends and take them out on dates. This time, for once and twice and thrice....take him out shopping. One hour, two hours, three hours, whatever time you have, shop till you drop. Do not forget to do this every weekend.

6. Friends: Again a tried and tested formula. You really love him. Don't you? Then show him. Oh! he is out with his friends. Damn! So what??? Surprise him. Each time he goes out with his friends. You do love to spend some quality time with him.

7. Marry Me: I am not really sure about this one. But I have heard a lot of girls tell me that guys dread this word. So, don't wait. Go and tell him how much you love him and want to be with him, Forever!!! And yeah, you do not stop here. You have to remind him daily about your undying love for him.

8. Warrior: Fight, fight and fight. What for??? Do I really need to explain this one? Over anything sweetheart. From 'you don't understand me' to 'you never have time for me' to 'you can't go out with your friends today' to 'stay with me'. It would not take the guy to decode the tell tale signs of trouble.

9. Love him, call him: You love him and he loves you. Who cares about the world? Call him every hour while he is in his office. What for??? Ask him if he had his breakfast, his morning coffee, his lunch, his tea, ask him about his meetings, his presentations, his colleagues and whatever comes to your mind. Just do not give him a chance to miss you.

10. Kids: This ones the silliest one (I think). Take him out to meet your married friends and who have a kid(s). The one thing that you can't forget to tell is that you love those noisy, irritating and crying babies and you want to have one of those. Soon!!!

11. Flirt: Flirting, sure is an art. And you are the master of the art. You feel flirtatious, act flirtatious. Who's stopping you? Like that guy standing on the bar. Go talk to him.
Do not forget to leave your boyfriend behind, gasping for breath.

Sounds evil??? I know. But girlies, any guy who surpasses the above is a keeper. You would be a fool to let him go. And guys, a girl who makes you go through this drill, is sure a let go. You would be a fool, to still want to be with her.

(P.S: I, sure, am not talking about the ways in which a girl can make a guy like her. That would be like betraying the entire female fraternity.)

The Way You Make Me Feel !!!

Coming from a political and a business background has its own pros and cons. I have been brought up in an environment where ettiquettes, mannerisms, the clothes you put on, your social behavior, all were under constant survelliance. This bringing up could even put the defence personnels to shame. Only, this time it was not my parents doing the moral policing.

Only last night I was talking to this friend of mine who again happened to talk about the moral brigade (and their importance), ready to fire on you the first time they spot you. I, though, have a completely different view point on this one.

Honesty has always paid off well in my case and that too with my parents. I am very sure that all of us lie to our parents at one point or the other. Well, I don't. Though, I would not say I have not been there.
Anyways, why is it that people are so interested in giving you all those moral lectures on what is right and what is not, when you pretty much can handle your life all too well.

Look around you, each one of us will have a set of friends always lecturing us on our social behavior, our likes and dislikes. All of us have our so called relatives (who call themselves our well wishers) always ready to pounce on us. Always interested in knowing the minute details of our social life, the details of our late night phone calls (if you happened to talk to someone late night, with them in vicinity), prying into our daily routine in an attempt to find out that one flaw which would give them enough to go around and gossip.

When our parents do not have any problem with us going out and socialising with our set of friends, or them coming over to our place, their trust in us to make right choices (obviously, giving everything the due consideration), what is it with the moral police always being on the guard?

Here, my friend said that they probably do not understand your view point. They have a different set of values. My answer to this: I do not want them to understand what I think about and I too have a different set of values. All my life, when my parents have trusted me enough to take the right decisions for myself and my family; I too have not let them down. I have always considered it more important to be honest with my folks and the people who matter to me. So, do I really need to bother about the other people who do not have anything else but to act inquisitive all the time and run away at the first sight of trouble that you face?

I know the answer to this one and I strongly feel about it. I am grateful, not only to those with whose views I may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views; for these also contributed something, by developing before me the power of thought.

Bertrand Russell, a very famous British philosopher, once said, We have, in fact, two kinds of morality side by side; one which we preach but do not practice and another which we practice but seldom preach !!!

Temptations Galore!!!

Alarm clock...7 a.m....snooze.....7.15 a.m....snooze....7.30 a.m....snooze....
This road is deserted. "Let's go take a quick look."
Eating chocolates is a sin for a diabetic. "One piece of it would not do any harm."
This guy is so wrong for you. "How do you know? Maybe he is 'the one'."

Why is that 10 minute of sleep most precious?
Why is it that one longs to go towards the road which one knows will only cause trouble?
Why is it that diabetics can't give up on that one thing which they aren't supposed to have?
Why is it that guys who treat girls all wrong are the ones that chicks go crazy over?

Simple...Because any kind of pilferage is addictive and exciting. Not being caught, or doing something that one isn't supposed to, gives us all a 'high'.

Isn't that why Eve ate the forbidden fruit???

I am not much of a TV person, leave alone watching all those soap (sulk) operas and a superabundance of 'Reality Shows' that are up on the LED's/LCD's of every house on the street. Yes, my home is no different. What with a younger brother and a sister whose day start with remote in each of their hands.

My recent elongated visit to my place was enough for me to realise that I live with a TV frenzied family. And I happened to give them company for most of the times (because that's how my family spends quality time). 'Emotional Attyachar' is what caught my attention. Seemed like Mr Hyde hidden in all the characters on the show. Not giving one thought before cheating their partner. Temptations leading them astray!!!

And for once, we all would agree that it is always tempting to break the rules. I have done it myself, quite a few times. Defying the law, flouting traffic rules, drinking yourself senseless, destroying public property, ringing a bell and running away – all these activities seem so exciting when teenage hormones are raging. Unfortunately for some, those hormones never do quite settle down. And Mr Hyde is always waiting just a breath away to emerge and exhibit a vastly different persona and morality from that of Dr Jekyll.

Coming back to cheating, back in college, a classmate of mine cheated on her boyfriend with a guy who I had a crush on. The reason: they were drunk and together. You never know your vulnerabilities unless you are face to face with the temptation. It is then, that it becomes difficult to hold ground.

Tiger Woods, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rajat Gupta, former McKinsey Global MD, Queenie Dhody-Socialite,  IMF Chief Strauss-Kahn, Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor all have one thing in common. Thrilling themselves with the illicit!!!

We encounter nays and don’ts at every turn; some imposed by law, some by society, others by those close to us, and yes, some restrictions we impose on ourselves.

And now it seems it's just the forbidden that tempts us to break the monotony of life!!!

Love @ Facebook !!!

A series of likes & online chats, succeeded by late night phone calls, long hours spent thinking about each other, that tinge of happiness running through, a beautiful dimpled smile on the face and a lil' playing hard to get!!!

Welcome to the story of new found love in an era of FACEBOOK...

So...You are tired of all those late night parties, clubbing, saying no to office flings, not really fond of getting hooked on by your friends and you are not attending college anymore where you can be hopeful of dating a person who is ‘your type’ and you do not want to get into that trap of ‘arranged’ marriage which, suddenly has become the new ‘buzz’ word for everyone around you.

A friend of mine, who I happened to meet after a long time, told me that if marriage has to happen for her, it will only happen for love and for nothing else. Not bad I would say!!!

But where do you meet people who are your age and still single???

IDEA!!!
FACEBOOK!!!

You find the guy interesting, well read, speaks well (or so it seems), cute or handsome (whatever works for you), is chivalrous, likes the same kind of music as you do, likes Thai food (awesome), works with an MNC and is still single (what more could you ask for).

You start 'liking' his pics, his status messages, and his wall posts in an attempt to make him notice you (as if he hasn't done that already). Suddenly, FB seems like the place to be. A series of online chatting and flirting with each other and you develop an affinity towards him.

But, what next???

Inside, you are dying (ok, this is too strong a word) to talk to him. How do you tell him that? Maybe, even he is. But how do you know for sure? You want him to ask you for your number and give you a call (because that is how it is supposed to be).

And so it happens....He asks you for your number and that gets you talking. You start liking him all the more. He is so so interesting, more than what you had imagined him to be. So here begins the process of mutual distraction.

There is another friend of mine who is a victim (I think so) of such a romantic relationship. She has never met the guy in person but they really like each other (or so they say). She loves being admired by the guy who also seems to go ga-ga over her. But what happens when you meet the guy? What if he doesn't like you in person? What if you do not have much to talk about then? What if he just liked you as an FB friend? All these what ifs and more seem to question the credibility of the online relationships. 

 I am not saying that all love stories on FB are doomed. I happen to know quite a few of 'happily ever after' ones too. The whole point here is to be happy of who you are and faking doesn't seem to do any good.
Dating might have become hi-tech but the basic rituals remain much the same. I am sure if I found someone that interesting on FB, I would sure want to give it a shot.

Just like always, every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you!!!


(P.S: There are more than 175 million active users on FB...Go discover your virtual wishful thinking)

Human Emotions On Sale !!!

Setting: A 5 star restaurant or CCD/Costa or your home.
Theme: Insane/Awkward Humor
Cuisine: Everything possible
Emotions: Numb
Star Cast: Boy & Girl (All the characters in this article are non fictional and bear some resemblance to a lot of us!!!)

Girl meets boy and his parents and his aunties and uncles, his cousins, his friends (later), almost every one who will be a part of the Band Baaja, if this works out fine. Still clueless??? Typical Indian Arranged Marriage Setting !!!

Not many of us are lucky enough to find the guy/gal of our dreams and if that happens, this is what happens next. Love takes a back seat and the front seat is taken by friends trying to fix us up with dates or lets say prospective brides/grooms, nosy aunties who are more bothered about our age and do not leave any stone unturned in trying to find us a suitable match (more on that a lil' later).

Suddenly, the matrimonial paper on sunday with the major dailies seem to become the best friend of everyone around you. Phones are never left on 'silent' mode (arre somebody might call), mails are checked every hour (Curiosity does get the worst out of you, sometimes), photo studios cash in on every opportunity to make the bride/groom look beautiful/handsome (what would we all do without photoshop), matrimonial sites are always logged in (as if they are finding a partner for themselves) and to top it all, kundli software is downloaded on all laptops/PC's.

What happens when you like a proposal in the classified?
You go mad!! Kundli matched (shukar hai bhagwaan ka, 28 gun milte hain), ladki-ladka both are non- manglik (check), ladki/ladke ki casual pictures bhejiye (oops, why did I spend money on getting my portfolio clicked, never mind, time for some casual pictures-check), ladki gori hai na, ladka any would do (check, double check), height kitni hai ladki/ladke ki ( do you have some stretches in mind that will help increasing the height, anyways-check), papa kya karte hain, mumma, behen, bhai, nani, nana, dadi, dada, bua, uncle- please temme something about everyone (told you insane humour).

Who are we and what world are we living in??? When in love marriages, people do not question the religion, caste, status of the families involved, do people actually turn irrational while dealing with people involved in arranged marriages. And, the youth looks on and accepts what his/her deranged parents are doing!!!

In a world where our present has becme a poor indicator of our future, the idea of arranging marriages continues to hold charm. Whether it is cloaked in tradition as it is in India or in modernity as it is elsewhere, the institution of marriage needs some help. The expanded Indian view of the arranged marriage functions as a facilitated marriage search designed for individuals. Perhaps that is why convented matches from status families will continue to look for decent marriages, caste no bar.

(P.S: Stay tuned for more on Band Baaja. Looks like the season of marriages (arranged) is here to stay!!!)

Catch 22: You'll Be There For Me & Him !!!

That is perfectly fine swthrt. Whatever happened, was a thing in the past (what did I ever do, please tell me that atleast). You do not have to bother yourself with it (it has been bothering me for quiet some time now). And yeah, you do not have to say sorry at all (heights of modesty, you should be the one saying it, B****RD). That is the only thing I am ever asking of you (really???). I still love you (WOW, he still does, so we are not breaking up, yay !!!)

We Will Always Be Friends!!! (tears, tears and some more tears)

Ohh, in case you did not guess till now, this is a guy breaking up with his so called girlfriend, who he still loves but cannot be with her anymore like that. Like a boyfriend, silly. So, he chooses to be a friend, instead (oh my god, how will I ever be able to pay you back for this honor).

Sounds like a regular thing? Nice!! So we all have met such scums in our lives one way or the other. When two people break up, the last words you want to hear are We Can Still Be Friends. How in the world do you expect to be friends when you have shared a life (almost) together. You have seen each other grow, seen them fall down, been there for each other in times of despair, shared the most precious memories together, emotionally connected, disconnected and re-connected. You have seen the best and worst in each other, deep down you know that you are right for each other and for heaven sake, You are 'THE COUPLE'.

Your friends have admired you for so long, wanted to be in your shoes all the time; you are what is a socially enviable couple. But do I care???

What is it in us, that is piled up so high that we, at times, do not care about a person's feelings. The other person is not emotionally dead. And he/she has cared for you for so long. It's not like you started dating yesterday that the memories of all these will wash away the next time you wake up. And the worst part, you still like/love him/her. Then, what is stopping you from being with him/her?

I HAVE CHANGED!!!

That gets me to the question: Can Ex's Be Friends???

Impossible. Though, a lot of you will differ on this, but I, for one, cannot be the emotional support for someone who's left me. Lemme tell you this, it's not easy seeing your ex with someone else. You were suppose to be there. You were there. And, honestly, most people would still want to be there.

In a relationship, there would always be one person, who will move on first and when that happens, the other person is left dreading herself/himself, comparing himself/herself with the new person in his/her life. There is an irresistable desire in all of us to be irresistably desired, and when that object of affection is 'someone' else, hearts and minds are stimulated beyond appreciable levels.

Sometimes we tend to be in despair when the person we love leaves us, but the truth is, it's not our loss, but theirs, for they left the only person who couldn't give up on them !!!

Dreams Unlimited!!!

A moonlit night, stars shining above your head, beach with white sand all around, glistening water, a wide spread three-course Italian meal served with Cabernet Sauvignon, 'When you say nothing at all' playing in the background and I sit there holding his hand.
Perfect...
This is my dream, maybe a lil' similar to yours or a lot different from what you dream of. But it's mine. And it always will be.

No, I am not fighting on what is mine and what is yours. We all live in this dream world, dreams which are ours and despite all the ups and downs we face in life, a part of us still holds on to those with an innate desire to make them come true...someday.

I remember growing up as a very precious memory of my childhood. I was always the pampered one of all my siblings. Eldest in the family and a girl, I got everything I asked for. Mumma, Papa, Chachu 1, Chachu 2 (yeah, I grew up in a joint family), they all spoilt me to the point where I myself asked them to send me to a boarding school. It became my dream (then) to study in a boarding school. And it came true.

With the passage of years, my dreams kept changing. I had a different dream at every stage of my life. One day I wanted to be a fashion designer, the next day I wanted to be a singer, the third day I wanted to have a super cool (hot) boyfriend, the next I wanted to get married at 20 (thank God, this one did not come true then)....and it went on and on....it still goes on. The one thing common at all stages: I never gave up, never stopped dreaming. Because that is what I had always learnt. That is how I had made most of them come true....Never stop dreaming because one fine day they will and they do come true.

My dad always used to tell me that there is nothing that should hold you back from dreaming, because if you don't dream, it never will be.

Ok, this is not a motivation lecture on 'How to make your dreams come true'. Because, that even I do not know(I wish I did, though).

There is an unseen life that awaits us at the corner. I haven't seen it, nor have you. I, today, dream of telling my dad, once, that how much I love him, telling my brother that I miss being irritated by him, telling him that yes, I would buy you a D&G perfume and a Zara shirt on your birthday and that I miss those late night sneak-outs to have ice-cream and kathi rolls.
I wish I could, but I can't. Even my dad's theory fails here.

You guys go all out today and give your parents a tight hug, take them out for a dinner night out, your husband/wife/gf/bf out for a long drive. Don't be pestered that they call you every 2 hours. And for all those who do not stay with your family, call them and tell them how much they mean to you and that you love them unconditionally.

Embrace it while it lasts because a Sheldon book says "Nothing Lasts Forever."

(P.S: Dear V, this ones all for U, though it made me sad!!!)

Talk to me !!!

A walk with your dog is a sure shot way of attracting attention. More so, if your dog is cute. Doubly so, if the girl is cute. Quadruple it, if the girl is wearing shorts and a tee.
Welcome to a world where legs and cleavage seem to be talking to men. I wonder why they never talk to us. Anyhow, how long can be a walk from one corner of the street to the next corner?

I was standing on the balcony of my friend's house in Delhi when I noticed that it can take 30 minutes to cross the street which otherwise takes just five minutes.
"Hey...that's a cute dog. What breed is it?" Only if, Hutch had not made that pup (pug) so popular, I would have still given him some credit.

 Blue is a vibrant colour for a dog collar but it sure isn't that vibrant. "The colour blue attracts me." That was cheesy and made me smile. What's with guys and their choice of such pick up lines.

This one was the funniest. "I have the exact same dog. It's a female. What a coincidence !!! As if, it was meant to be." How can it be "meant" to be when you just saw that chic and apple (the dog's name).

Fat women, slim women, anorexic women, curvy women, and all those who I couldn't sum up in these, have one thing in common which is surely of interest to our favorite sex, MEN. No brownie points for guessing the obvious: LEGS(though I wouldn't give the benefit of doubt of this to all women) and CLEAVAGE.

Doctors, bosses, hotels, clubs, restaurants, metros, malls. Is there any place where one doesn't find men talking to the assets. I doubt that. Now with Kim Kardashian celebrating Cleavage Day, men have got a more legitimate reason to stare.
A friend of mine walks into her bosses' chamber with folded hands in an attempt to make him talk to her face and not her assets which he doesnt seem to get enough of.

I am sure to get a lot of glares for writing this one; maybe even people gossiping on the choice of my topic for today's article, but who cares!!!

While, I was still writing this, an idea struck me. This ones for my female counterparts. Chicas, go invest in a T-shirt that says: MY FACE IS UP HERE, SHITHEAD!!!
And for all you guys, wear sunglasses when you want to stare!!!

Officially Incorrect !!!

Monday Morning Blues, Tuesday Tantrums, Wednesday Weirdness, Thursday Doomsday, Friday Freakishness, Zestful Saturday, Sluggish Sunday !!!
What was it that I just wrote? Was I deciding the schedule for my next week? If yes, then heaven save me!!!

Now go through this one.
A Bright Monday Morning, Euphoric Tuesday, Florid Wednesday, Thrilling Thursday, Jubilant Friday, Superb Saturday, Exemplary Sunday !!!

What just happened, is no change of schedule. So??? I just started dating a COLLEAGUE (not me silly!!).
Errr, ummm, ahhh, Ouch !!! I mean WOW !!! But really???
That is what my reaction was when a friend of mine told this to me last night during an FB chat session.

I am sure we all have had our share of crushes in offices. Be it our cute and oh-so-young boss,or the dimpled guy who sits next to my(or your) cabin, or the guy straight out of Mills and Boons who just can't be a VP (he's so young) or the guy next door who offers you a lift daily.
Office romances are fun. But are they really FUN???

Most women would agree because of the proximity they get to share with their man of dreams in an environment which is like a dream come true with him. Suddenly, the place is fun to work at. Everything turns out to be perfect and rosy. You go back home together, you drive to the office together, you have breakfast together and lunch and drinks and dinner and sleep, all together. That is some life, I must say.

A serious overdose of the man of your dreams !!!

But what happens when you break up? The place feels like hell. You suddenly start avoiding the elevator because he/she was in it, lunching will be at a table at the far away corner of the room where you can't see him/her, meetings will be spent staring at him/her, thinking what was it that I saw in that loser. Suddenly all you start thinking is "how to get back at your ex" and again the search for the prey begins in an attempt to make your ex feel horrible. But all this and more, in an attempt to make him/her jealous and get back together.

But is this all 'worth it'? I personally do not advocate office romances. When a fling goes bad, there is bound to be ill feelings and hostility. I mean just imagine losing your job, willfully or not. The possible consequences here are not just the loss of the person you're ga-ga over. It's fun to fall in love, but remember that you've worked too hard to jeopardize your work reputation by being distracted, missing deadlines and letting your projects suffer.

Morose Monday, Dejected Tuesday, Cheerless Wednesday, Dysphoric Thursday, Joyless Friday, Sombre Saturday and a Wretched Sunday !!!
Sounds like a Ramsay Brothers' movie to me !!!

I wish I could tell my friend to give up on this girl that he is so in awe of. But like someone once said, its better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

(P.S: Dear S, I guess you should lookout for another company that you've been planning for so long.)
