He said it would inspire me to write poetry, but I was only 15, and I thought it boring. But now I carry this book with me all the time. It's always in my bag, so it goes with me everywhere, and it never disappoints me. A little peek through its pages, and I find myself calmed. Today in a moment of much panic and anxiety on many accounts I found this......&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;.......A prayer, a hymn, a song of praise.....to a god, to a love, to a soul, to the self......from the heart of one in a search.....and a longing for the essence of all that is supreme and immortal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I sit on the grass and gaze upon the sky and dream of the sudden splendour of thy coming - all the lights ablaze, golden pennons flying over thy car, and they at the roadside standing agape, when they see thee come down from thy seat to raise me from the dust, and set at thy side this ragged beggar girl - a tremble with shame and  pride, like a creeper in summer breeze.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;But time glides on and still no sign of the wheels of thy chariot. Many a procession passes by, with noise and shouts and glamour of glory. Is it only thou who would stand in the shadows silent and behind them all? And only I who should wait and weep and wear out my heart in vain longing?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[A verse from the much celebrated &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error"

You see there was a road that led to our college ('our' because friends were a big thing, and you stuck to your group of pals and so you were the 'group' and the 'group' was you) from a round about at the main road right off the Oberoi hotel at Nizamuddin East. And i couldn't get myself to drive off the round about without taking that turn inwards. It was as though by default that my car just turned towards college.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was only when i had driven a good distance into the road that i realised what i had done, and then i remembered that the place wasn't even the college campus anymore. It had to be vacated the year we passed out due to issues with the Municipal corporation. I remember, we were so proud to have spent all three years of our course there, hahaha we were the lucky lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So just for the heck of it... I drove on. Went down to the very gate, and got out of my car and peered in, smiled to myself, shook my head at all the crazy, stupid and typical things "we" did there, walked back to my car and went back home. and while driving back home the whole time thinking back... thinking to myself, "oh no i actually did that?!".. and then after another thought.."Shoot! What was i thinking!"... and "oops, i don't know what zone i was in!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I reached home, complaining to myself how everybody had just decided to move on, only to realise i had just been too caught up with my own life as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This evening i'm planning on calling up people from the "group" and saying something that goes," hey! we don't catch up often enough! let's make plans!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beware y'all!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23459114-7209017402394719920?l=japnasodhi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://japnasodhi.blogspot.com/feeds/7209017402394719920/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23459114&amp;postID=7209017402394719920' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23459114/posts/default/7209017402394719920'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23459114/posts/default/7209017402394719920'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://japnasodhi.blogspot.com/2008/04/back-in-day.html' title='Back in the day'/><author><name>Japna</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23459114.post-2375705550292770223</id><published>2008-03-27T05:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-27T05:31:33.797-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What i do when work won't happen...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;....I sit in office and finish&lt;a href="http://japnasodhi.blogspot.com/2008/01/its-dark-so-dark-and-yet-it-finds-me.html"&gt;

He was in town for a total of 12 hours i.e. from 5pm in the evening to 5 am in the morning; and it was my job to ensure that he was able to "pao khup" (read: have a great time) while he was around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway the evening was planned, and just as plans have, it nothing worked out. We ended up doing things that were the complete opposite of what we had charted out for the night. But that was the 'khuppi' bit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see there's plans that go haywire and you're like fuck the world's coming to an end! and then there are plans that go all bad and you go fuck! (another time) this is so much better than what i'd had thought out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now coming down to the interesting bits!&lt;/p&gt;For one, we stayed up all night (as do most people when pao-ing khup with friends). However the driving force for us to do this was so that we weren't late to leave the house to get him to the airport! And what do you know when it was the said time to put on the shoes and finally head on airportwards we were suddenly sleepy as hell!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dragged our behinds out and onto the highway that led to the destination... and i saw the most ghostly moon I have ever seen! It was enchanting! horrific! . It was full moon night last night i found out! So bewitching was the sight of the moon playing hide and seek with the clouds at 5:40 am in the morning I just couldn't keep my eyes on the road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After dropping my friend and ensuring he was safely inside the airport i headed on homewards, or at least that was the plan.... or not!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I passed the Bangla Sahib gurdwara on my way back home, and it was as though something just pulled me towards it. I could hear the &lt;em&gt;raagis&lt;/em&gt; singing and it was so soothing. So i parked my car in the not usually this empty parking lot at the gurdwara, and stepped in. The morning chill seeping into my whole being, but i couldn't have cared, barefoot I just walked around the whole gurdwara, my head bowed, it was as if some force was permiating my skin, upwards, from my feet and spreading all over me just washing me off all the hyperactivity of the previous night. I saw the first streaks of bright orange in the midnight blue, as a crazy and funfilled night silently metmorphosed into the drill that was another week.When I left the gurdwara, there were tears in my eyes and i felt a sort of calm inside my heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157956710044927650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TMmx2Lr_6hM/R5S-TL0SBqI/AAAAAAAAAHw/MCfHYx2lQgM/s320/IMG_0086.JPG" border="0" /&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157957912635770546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TMmx2Lr_6hM/R5S_ZL0SBrI/AAAAAAAAAH4/P6keaCi1Tas/s320/IMG_0089.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I drove back home all quiet, and thoughtful.

It's not such a celebratory feeling! For the past month or so, it just seems to me like everyone around me has been going from single to double, or has at least been having close encounters with people of the, ahem, "opposite sex". But might I add that all such efforts on my part have ended in vain! and i'm not talking about the stupid "oh i'm in love in a minute and out of it the next" type of thing. I mean the real thing. That kind that people call you up to shed tears about!! Now for a single woman in a big city, there isn't a more sad thing in life than not being able to get someone. and more so when you know that there couldn't possibly be anything wrong/missing with what you're bringing to the table. However love, as we know it, seems to ellude. Of course there's that guy sitting on the table next to mine and he's looking over trying to see if i'm actually alone or waiting for someone, trying to see if there isn't a possibility that today might prove to be his lucky day. then there was that oh so cute guy who was oh so cute, and had an oh so cute (and just outta school) girlfriend in tow! "what is wrong with the world today.. why do they want to date chics half their age!?" and then there are the advantages... which seem to be staring me in the face now that most of my female companions are seeing someone or the other. well for one you always have someone to offer to take over the wheel (and even offer to drive you all the way back home sometimes), and then there's always some motivation for you to always be looking well groomed et al, and then there's always a someone to have your coffee with, to share details of business plans, someone else to plan a dinner or lunch or evening out. someone else to remind you of the little things you know you're bound to forget, and someone to always appreciate that you always remember the things that you tend to! the downside though as i have come to observe is that you have to constantly deal with accomodating someone else's needs, demands, and requirements into your own scheme of things. But isn't that the reason why two people get together in the first place, because they like to accomodate (read: allow) someone into their lives... so completely. well love's mysteries lie for me to unfold and discover alone for now (quite to my changrin) but i'm workin on it!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>new year (re)solutions!</title><content type='html'>Dunno if anyone here read the newspaper 'MINT', but i really like it for it's objectivity and also for the fact that they have some interesting reads packed into a few pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, this post is about the "mint lounge" (that's their lifestyle section) special edition that came out on 5th January 2008. And it has to do with a &lt;a href="http://epaper.livemint.com/Default.aspx?selpg=491&amp;amp;selDt=01/05/2008&amp;amp;BMode=100#"&gt;100 interesting things to do in 2008&lt;/a&gt;. It's given me a little inspiration to draw up my own little list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see in our everyday fight to be successfull and fulfill our dreams and achieve our goals and be this and be that.. we often forget all about relaxing and, to state the cliche "take a backseat". So this year (and for some reason i feel extremely lucky) I've put down a few of those things that i'd really really like to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of these things have come straight from the list in mint, but i guess i didn't know these things existed before i read that article!! It's kinda nice to see that i have so much that i want to do and see this year... gives me more to work for and then look forward to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers to y'all! And a 'aapy noo ear!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Update]: a fellow blogger &lt;a href="http://manyfalsestartslater.blogspot.com/"&gt;PG&lt;/a&gt; is already on the move... he's got a trip all planned out... and i'm looking forward to when you'll be in delhi man!

'Cause I find myself on crossroads again... however friends and family never disappoint and help and motivation is always a phone call away..... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The song plays on the home theatre system [and I've only recently learnt to manipulate bass settings] while i type away on the computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I'm working on my dream.&lt;br /&gt;And I'm working on making my dream a reality.&lt;br /&gt;And nothing has ever been more fulfilling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trying to see the point of things. Fighting. Arguing with family. Question marks. Endless discussion. Screaming. Screaming at myself. Frantic phone calls. Panic. Directionless. Wake up &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Japna&lt;/span&gt;! Talking to myself. Introspection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the car. On the phone. While walking in the park. During bed tea. At B&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;arista&lt;/span&gt;. On the treadmill. With music. On the balcony. At the restaurant. Over coffee. When sleep won't come. When reading. Without music. Over alcohol. When sleep finally came.

I have been overcome with a feverish drive. And &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; willing to go it all....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just to see the magic unfold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever had a dream that fills your heart? That one thing you really want to see happen. That thing that puts a faraway look in your eyes! If you don't I suggest you pack up all your passions and set yourself on this ride!

There's introspection. There's depth. There's a search. There's a closed door. Was it just closed on me......or is it waiting to be opened?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's that time, when i'm free....with not much on my head except dumb exams. So I look within. And find many a road. I find that there are question marks. There are times when I have closed my doors to something, to someone. These were times when I have run away. Escaped. When anything and anybody has been shut out. When I've wet my pillows...when i've smashed that precious crystal vase...when i've wrecked my room...when i've banged my doors...CLOSED.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There have been other times...These were times when i was left out. Not told. Not been part of. Those times left many questions unanswered. But this wasn't my doing!! It was the time when nothing was shared, and a weird loneliness, of not belonging came in. The times when I knew something was happening. But I couldn't have known what....only because when I wanted to help, to hold, to support....the doors had been shut...CLOSED.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now there is opportunity....just like many other times. I've trudged a path this time. I've travelled. I've toiled. Sleepless nights. Anxiety. Paranoia. It's a decision. One that I have to make myself. And I'll be responsible for it. I reach out... as the something on the other side beckons. The heart beats faster. A chill. The excitement of something new, of unchartered territory. The door that was closed....now awaits, to be OPENED!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23459114-114918180720800903?l=japnasodhi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://japnasodhi.blogspot.com/feeds/114918180720800903/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23459114&amp;postID=114918180720800903' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23459114/posts/default/114918180720800903'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23459114/posts/default/114918180720800903'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://japnasodhi.blogspot.com/2006/06/closed-doors.html' title='Closed Doors!!'/><author><name>Japna</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23459114.post-114426385974225127</id><published>2006-04-05T11:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-20T03:08:28.284-07:00</updated><title type='text'>On the highway..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;There's something about being on the highway, that just forces one to ponder life. Maybe it's the fact that the scenery is just going past so soon, that you just want to give your present scenario a thought. You want to stop and think. I have had the luck of being on the highway for three consecutive weekends, and you have no idea how things have changed over the two weeks in between!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Pondering life left aside, it may just have something to do with being close to nature. You sit in the car and stare out the window. You watch the fields turn from yellow to green and back. I look for shapes in clouds, and how they must be talking to each other.Somethings just bring out the child in you, and there's nothing like being on the highway. Makes you forget, makes you want to play, makes you want to smile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Yes, beig on the highway helps you smile. A bird that flew by. Trees that should've been photographed, a river the water of which should've been felt, the wind that should set your hair askew, a sunset that should've been shared.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;One can really dream when one is on the highway. You daydream about squeezing the life out of someone, you plan, and you see your plans all  coming into place. You worry about how it'll all work out. You see things working out the way you want them. You smile. You feel smug.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Being on the highway also helps ease the pain. Helps you to think about yourself first. Helps you not to be pretentious. Not to be strong. Helps you cry. Somehow the tears just seem to flow naturally when you're looking out the window, and the air is blowing against your face.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Being on the highway makes you miss things. Miss the ones you've left alone in battle. Miss those that didn't want you to go in the first place. Miss the one's that make it hell for you. Miss all that you wanted to escape in the first place. Makes you want to go back after a while.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Being on the highway's a lesson, you learn more about yourself. You speed on, just like life does. But you know when it gets too much, you'll hit this road again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23459114-114426385974225127?l=japnasodhi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://japnasodhi.blogspot.com/feeds/114426385974225127/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23459114&amp;postID=114426385974225127' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23459114/posts/default/114426385974225127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23459114/posts/default/114426385974225127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://japnasodhi.blogspot.com/2006/04/on-highway.html' title='On the highway..'/><author><name>Japna</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23459114.post-114348012734422187</id><published>2006-03-27T09:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-10-20T03:08:28.227-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Best Friends...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Have you ever had that one person in your life, whom you can tell just about anything under the sun? Have there been these times spent when noone could possibly have known better what you really want to do?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Have there been these times when you go on and do the weird things that you do, but nobody else can know because she's just about as weird as you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Walking in the rain, while you sing songs and walk through the law department of your university, checking out guys sheepishly while you know you're anything but sheepish, sipping a frappe in the biting cold, and driving halfway across town to meet up one sunday morning for breakfast (and across two states, more recently). Have you ever had someone to do completely crazy things with you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Sharing the lowest, lonliest and most challenging times with each other. Knowing how depressing the hospital ward can be. Knowing it's a heartbreak she's suffering, and knowing she'll get over it. Always looking at the kinkier side of the things together, and sitting together and bitching about the guy that just left. Having excited conversations about the guy in the closet. Have you had someone to share moments like this with?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Not talking to each other for ages altogether. Not knowing what's really going on. But one phone call and you knew you were always around. It's as if you never spent any time apart. No change. You're both still the same people (though life may have forced a little change). Have you ever been someone's alter- ego?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;She's moving into town!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Have you ever planned someone's arrival with so much excitement. And been so anxious to be together again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Guess there are just some things which only best friends are meant for.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;MISS YOU.

But in the midst of all this, you're so whiney, and so overcome with grief, that there are times when you forget all about your 'thank you's'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;You tend to overlook those coffees that get you warm, right down to your heart. And the conversation that accompany's it. Those shared dreams and making big plans. Peppered with a little mischief. You can't help but marvel what a coffee can do to one's mood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Of the many things that go unnoticed, are those really late night, really long phone calls. Somebody telling you that your tears are not worth it. " Good night, sleeptight, don't let the bed bugs bite!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;You forget about that constant vigilante. The one who knows you like no one else. She's decided not to 'intrude', to step aside, but you know that she's watching from the sidelines, from far away, with comfort in her eyes, and tender love on offer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Those moments, that go incomplete because someone's not around. That once when the weather's really fine, or you've had a bad day, or a good one. That time when you want to be comforted. When you really want to give someone a big bear hug. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;'Hold that thought!' , someone told me, and you must always put it down so you never forget.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23459114-114210154504729917?l=japnasodhi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://japnasodhi.blogspot.com/feeds/114210154504729917/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23459114&amp;postID=114210154504729917' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23459114/posts/default/114210154504729917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23459114/posts/default/114210154504729917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://japnasodhi.blogspot.com/2006/03/hold-that-thought.html' title='&quot;Hold that thought!&quot;'/><author><name>Japna</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23459114.post-114156936074700170</id><published>2006-03-05T06:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-10-20T03:08:28.032-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Just wanted to be there!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000000;"&gt;So it's been one of those when you wake up in the morning, looking forward to a good day, but everything is going wrong. You look around you and everyone's either ill, or sad, or depressed, or breaking up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look into the mirror and join the gang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You try to be sweet, you try to help out, but it's not welcome, and everyone's ready to bite back. You want to be there, for those who're going through a trying time, but they'll go one step further and shut you out. So you feel in the end, like you're intruding, like you're not meant to know, or help. I wonder if it's the easier way out to act like the snob and to act as if everyone who tries to be comforting, just doesn't matter enough. To behave as though nothing or nobody around you, could interest you enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if that's not enough, you get all weird and possessive, and even throw a tantrum. when you look back, you realise it was completely uncalled for, and you'd got unnecessarily 'fired up', but that's not like you, you tell yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure everybody has their explanations and all that, but stuff it for now guys.... and then they'll go all the way and tell you they adore you for being this sweet and bearing it with a grin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what is it about friends, that never let's you stay angry for too long. And finally you smile when you think about the goofy things you're always doing together....so you just want to forget being angry and complaining and all, and continue trying to be there, just waiting for that once when they'll finally come around and say i really wanted to talk to you but couldn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"yeah! we can do it!...we can do it! together it's just you n me....."
