I want to fill this void, but I am not sure 'which one?'!

WC '07

There was once a time, I used to get excited to see all cricket matches, be it India versus someone or otherwise. But the sole reason for the interest, was Indian Team, and MIB. Ya, Sachin Tendulkar too. I dunno what has happened to all of it. The aura of the Indian team has vanished. We now suffer humiliating defeats. Sigh! And my interest in cricket matches went with it too..disappeared out of nowhere. I guess partly, this can be blamed upon the American college football.

I dunno, I feel like saying, 'Thank god! The WC 07 is coming to an end today with a predictable match!' If only the outcome was the one 'unexpected', I might just start watching some good cricket.

Some more...

Quite an expression, a breather for an 'unusual' Friday night:

Aaj kuch yaad kar raha hai dil
Kisi ki fariyaad kar raha hai dil
Chup ke se keh diya dhadkano ne
Apno ko begana kar raha hai dil.....

Waqt ke saath halat badal jaate
Apno ke khayalat badal jaate hain
Jab azamane ka waqt ata hai
Khud apne jazbaat badal jaate hain....

Waqt guzarta raha par sanse thami si thi,
Muskura rahe the hum, par ankho mein namisi thi,
Saath hamare ye jahan tha sara,
Par na jane kyun kuch kami si thi....

Manzilein bhi uski thi, rasta bhi uska tha
Ek hum akele hi the, kafila bhi uska tha....

Kisi ko muqammal jahan nahi milta
Kabhi zameen to kabhi aasmaan nahi milta....

Phewww!

A Spoof I Can Relate To!

Here is a spoof on the song, 'Yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaye' from Guru dutt's 'Pyaasa'. Every grad student can relate to it. Found it on orkut. Enjoy:

Yeh paper yeh research yeh thesis ki duniya
Yeh science ke dushman publications ki duniya
Yeh results ke bhooke guideon ki duniya
Yeh PhD agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai !

Har ek student ghayal har ek boss pyaasi (or pyaasa)
Dimaagon mein uljhan dilon mein udaasi
Yeh laboratory hai ya aalame badhawaasi
Yeh PhD agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai !!

Yahaan ek khilona hai student ki hasti
Yeh hasti hai ya murda paraston ki grihasti
Yahaan par to hai thesis, chemicals se sasti
Yeh PhD agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai !!!

Jalaa do ise, phoonk daalo yeh paper
Mere saamne se hataa do yeh journal
Tumhaari hai, tumhi sambhaalo yeh thesis
Yeh PhD agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai !!!!

VTech Massacre

Whatever happened was really brutal and grave. May god rest the departed souls in peace.

Thats The Way It Is

Some of my favourite lines, that prep. me up, from the song "Thats the way it is!" by Celine Dion:

I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you

Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah

So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

---

These lines sure have a magic feel. Be it any emotion in the world, you feel you have garnered some courage to face it all and lift up the spirits. I have resorted to this song a gazillion times before. And once more time, I croon.....

Revelation of A Sort

Got to know this from TJ (and it ain't a joke!!):

Use the search term "Failure" in a Google search engine. The first link you would see is "President of the United States: George Bush". Hmm...

How Smart Google!!

Read from 'The Shiva's' blog that Google has a far-fetched sense of humor as well!
