one hand in my pocket

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry

I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty

and what it all comes down to
is that everythings gonna be quite all right.

reflections of a crazed 17 (and a half ) year old

Another rotation around the axis
Another revolution around the sun
Another sunrise
Another sunset
Yet another year has passed
But life-
It goes on and on and on
Forever.

there are like,exactly three people in the entire world who give a shit about my blog.But three is a good enough number,innit?i mean,when i first started writing,having my work being read by even HALF a person seemed like a huge deal..
there are so many questions each and every one of us has.Questions we know we'll never be able to answer.sometimes,its ok to ask people for answers..but at the same time,there are a few questions better left unanswered..even unasked..
if there was some way i could get some fat,blue genie to fulfill one wish of mine,what would i ask for?(no,i take that back.the genie can be of any shape and size..unless he's extremely good looking-then id be waay too distracted to make a wish.)...what would YOU ask for?i asked a few of my friends this very question,and came across some craaazy answers..and some extremely mature ones as well..ok.dont expect me to tell u what they said.thats confidential information.
But if i had to answer my own question,i'd ask for the power to be able to take back the spoken word..i have a tendency to say things i dont really mean..and ,most of the time,that gets me into trouble.if it really were possible for this wish to come true,my life would be compleeeetely different..
but,at the end of the day,i guess im actually happy with my life...
so,who wants a genie?coz mine's available for free!

ya..i know...its been a loooong time since i was last here...but im not really in the mood to continue the excursion saga,so,shall we move on to something else then?
hmmm...lets see..wat do i write about??ok,a few realizations that have struck over the last few days-
(1) its amaaazing how different one human being can be from the other....no one can put reins on God's limitless imagination..we might have been born in the same year,staying in the same town,studying in the same school,or working in the same office,heck,we might even be from the same family,but we could be as different from each other as chalk and cheese...if thats not amazing,then what,pray tell,is??
(2)surprises are FUUUNNN!!!!ya,i know,u dont need me to tell u that..u knew that already.But this is about MY realizations,remember?
(3)I HATE GROWING UP!and i dont want my neices and nephews to grow up either!there should be a limit to growing up..u know..like,once u reach the age when you're the cutest you could ever hope to be,you shud just stop growing any further....wouldnt the world be a muuuch better place if this nonsensical wish were to come true??
(4)i'm tooooo ignorantly trustworthy.I believe in the goodness of humanity.unfortunately.Coz being backstabbed isnt exactly the best experience ..take it from someone who knows (and who's extremely surprised that she's being so negative,but i guess thats one of the 'perks' of growing up,huh?Do u still wonder why i mentioned point no.3??)
(5)Life can be boring,fun,terrifying,exciting,all at the same time..which might not lways be a good thing.I mean,c'mon.Im lready confused enough,man!now i dont even know what emotion im going through??thats pathetic!

ya,ok,thats enough for right now...5 feels like a good number to stop at..lthough i might just be back with some more so called 'wisdom' in due course of time...so,BEWARE!

craaaazy people of the world unite..

So,u thot i was crazy??wait till you meet my friends!!and there cud be no better testimonial to that fact than the stories from our trip to Bombay-Goa..
PROLOGUE:
The eleventh standard of Sacred Heart Convent School is taken for an 'educational trip',as they put it,to Bombay-Goa every year..So,we shud have taken it in our stride when all the necessary announcements were made about our forthcoming trip...But,instead,what happens??My entire batch goes beserk,crazy,nuts,whatever the word may be for 'absolutely whoppin mad'!!
30 days left for the excursion (as we prefer to call it) and we've already decided what exactly we're going to do to pass time in the train..other minor details like what packing needs to be done are left to be decided at the absolute last minute!
After having discussed it every single free period that we could manage,(and sometimes even with the teacher sitting right in front of us),finally THE DAY of our blessed departure to( what we hoped would be) happier places came!!Innumerable Last minute phone calls and drawing up of lists and what-else-are you-taking conversations later,at 5:30 p.m. ,on the 13th of december,2006,the ISC batch of 2008 of Sacred Heart Convent School left their much worried parents behind ,to say a rather loud "hello!" to the sun,sea and sand(amazing,isnt it,how the good things in life can be summed up in just three words?!)
