Random thoughts...

I was out. Not exactly out of the town... but I was "out of" many things. I was out of my mind, out of money, out of friends (yeass..kind of), out of balance in mobile, out of free sms scheme recharge vouchers (thanks to BSNL), out of my company (willingly), out of words, out of time to write blogs, out of care to contact Best Friend (BF), out of control, out of patience... you name it, it was there. Some good things also happened, some smiles I earned, but in a very weird way. I succeeded to transform myself into an official student from an alumni. Glad to be a part of CEPT again. But now it is altogether a different world - which used to be a calm n happening place. Now, its suffocatingly over-crowded, flooded and noisy. Its murdering the image - the professionalism adopted by some faculties. Some day I will write a short note about that as well. I am collecting information; campus is under my observation. Conclusions will be posted soon, which will be solely min...

Still remember that first day Still remember that last day Still remember that world cup When we saw that yoga stuff Still remember those juries Which sometimes ended up in furies Still remember that last night When I was boarding that flight Still remember that first day Still remember that last day

I can see myself; With Friends, All of us, Sitting somewhere ; Smiling & laughing, Fighting & biting, Teaching and learning, Playing and cheating, Winning & losing, Crying & flying, Going strong together.. But Time changed So do we; Dont have anything for friends- No time, No concern, No feeling, No attachements.. We move on, scattered. We choose paths - Life with Goals Boring Routine, Corner seat in the office , Senseless work for: Blind race for money, Endless greed & need, Want to be at the Top, Above the all, Thus lonely. Never look back. We don't care - What we Left behind, We just move on. No 'life' in such 'life' But, In life, There's always an option. We always have. I Do have, I Do care, I Do want, To hold things together, Will YOU help, my friend? - Asthir Amdavadi Kush

More than a week has gone by. Could not write a thing. Had more important things to attend to. I haven't stopped writing. Just a pause this was. Never wanted to left this space abandoned. Never will I. I was advised to write short here, as people do get scared by looking at the length of the blog. Its not the length that matters, its the strength. Anyways, I will try to write short. Wait and watch. Keep guessing what may be next here. - Asthir Amdavadi Kush

I wished to see you going away, But cold breeze took you far from sight, Everything seemed dark and gray, Though the moon in the sky shining bright, Never knew it will end up this way, I wished if I could hear you say, Now Darkness vanished & sky is clear But why cant I believe, you're not here - Asthir Amdavadi Kush

If you were "Asthir amdavadi"...then these are the things that you would have had in your life. You are an average looking, slightly overweight, short, shy & gullible boy with good sense of humour. You hate doctors - not by profession, but as a person. You are very selective.You like talking ..without reason/subject/need..but not to all. You wish you can talk to 2-3 people for hours, rather than for minutes with 20 people. You have 200 people in your orkut profile, but not more than 20 scraps in 3 months. You stay online for almost 12 hours, but have no intention to talk with anyone. You go to office late by one hour almost everyday, but you still manage to complete given work within a deadline. You don't care if people ignore you, but You don't like your any friend who ignores/avoids you, as you have never did the same with him/her. You always have time for everyone whom you care, even if they don't have time for you. You got frustrated when someone doesn...

Now today I am not in any mood to work…though its 8.10am and I am in the office since 7.30am and not doing anything, I thought to write something stupid but interesting…. I was reading the newspaper this morning while I was on my way to office in the great NYC Subway. Flipping the pages and reading the headlines…. Then came the sports section. “Tennis takes center stage”. Thought it would be something regarding Wimbledon but it wasn’t. The article said – “Now Serving”, and it goes like this… Things you’d pay top dollar to see in Las Vegas: A girl throwing a drink in Anna Kournikova’s face. An unidentified woman reportedly tossed a cocktail at Kournikova at a Las Vegas club last weekend. Kournikova started screaming at the woman and shoved her before leaving with scratches on her neck. This story – it really is ashame that there is no video – captures three things men enjoy greatly: Sin City, Anna Kournikova and cat fights.
