Photographs and Memories
07.31.04 (8:41 pm) [edit]i ws just sitting in my grandma's house reminiscing abt her old house (man!tht house ws huge)and how we cud spend hrs in musty corners and nevr get bored.it ws then tht it struck me tht althou ths house ws a rental and wel a bit small i just mite find treasures here too and so i ventured towards the store and there i found this old album.it ws great...instantly someone mentioned how my cuz had a stock of albums and after we had been thru all those by sheer luck while returning the old album to its place in the store i stumbled across one even older.ths one dated back to 1953.i thought i recognized my mom in one pic dating frm 71 so i took it downstairs and frm there on emerged evn more albums frm my grandma's personal stock abt trips to rome and america and such.evryone of my aunts looked absolutely gorgeous and it ws like one of those family moments wid a good deal of squealing and exclamating thrown in...it was nice. :wink:
wel it started wid me watchin a movie...

lost subject
07.26.04 (3:55 pm) [edit]i basically made ths blog as an outlet for poetry.i guess it wud make more sense to use it as a journal but i'm no good at being meticulous abt writing stuff down and expressing wht i feel and stuff so i guess it'll continue to b used as such...
actually i ws thinking a lot last nite and there ws something i wnted to write down here and analyse but fer the life of me i can't remember wht tht ws.it ws [u]really really[/u] important...but [u]really really[/u] important stuff is the stuff i tend to forget....like my own phone number...ya it's happened... :shock:...lol..asaich chalta hai...
take care ya'll.
nuance
07.26.04 (3:34 pm) [edit]it's like u told me once
if we never saw each other
it wouldn't make any difference
you didn't say it wouldn't matter
you said...it wouldn't make ne difference
and did u know i understood the nuance
it was so long ago....but did u know?
--extract from Linda Goodman--
rough
07.26.04 (3:13 pm) [edit]ths is a rough draft of a poem tht i nevr completed:
Everytime u say something of ths sort to me
Its like the knife turns again in my heart
And i just can't see wht i used to see in u
Its like u're not the same person nemore
The one i used to know was kind and considerate
He cared wht i thought and wht i felt
Not a block of granite, so cold and so harsh
With never a gentle look to give
sweet
07.21.04 (4:28 pm) [edit]Since trifles make the sum of human things,
And half our misery from our foibles springs;
Since life's best joys consist in peace and ease,
And few can save or serve, but all may please;
Oh!Let th' ungentle spirit learn from hence,
A small unkindness is a great offence.
Large bounties to restore, we wish in vain,
But all may shun the guilt of giving pain.
To bless mankind with tides of flowing wealth,
With power to grace them, or to crown with health,
Our little lot denies, but heaven decrees
To all the gift of ministering ease;
The mild forbearance at another's fault;
The taunting word supressed as soon as thought;
On these Heaven bade the bliss of life depend,
And crush'd ill fortune when it made a friend.
By Hannah More.
The Fate of mankind rides on the successful pickup line

The Fate of mankind rides on the successful pickup line lulled from the Miami Herald
- By DAVE BARRY
So I was at this party, and I wound up at a table where three attractive single women were complaining about -- Surprise! -- men.
Specifically, hey were complaining about the pickup lines that had been used on them in a bar a few nights earlier. One woman said: ``This guy comes up to me and says, `Are you a teacher?' I mean, is that supposed to be romantic?''
All three women rolled all six of their eyes. Another one of them said: ``This guy says to me,
`I've been looking at you all night!' So I go, `Hel-LO, we just GOT here.''' At this point all three women -- and I want to stress that these are intelligent, nice women -- were laughing. Not me. I was feeling bad for the guys.
I realize that there are certain hardships that only females must endure, such as childbirth, waiting in lines for public-restroom stalls, and a crippling, psychotic obsession with shoe color. Also, females tend to reach emotional maturity very quickly, so that by age 7 they are no longer capable of seeing the humor in loud inadvertent public blasts of flatulence, whereas males can continue to derive vast enjoyment from this well into their 80s. So I grant that it is not easy being a female. But I contend that nature has given males the heaviest burden of
all: the burden of always having to Make the First Move, and thereby risk getting Shot Down. I don't know WHY males get stuck with this burden, but it's true throughout the animal kingdom. If you watch the nature shows on the Discovery Channel, you'll note that whatever species they
are talking about --birds, crabs, spiders, clams -- it is ALWAYS the male who has to take the
initiative. It's always the male bird who does the courting dance, making a total moron of himself, while the female bird just stands there,looking aloof, thinking about what she's going to tell her girlfriends. (``And then he hopped around on one foot! Like I'm supposed to be impressed by THAT!'').
Male insects have it the worst. The Discovery Channel announcer is always saying things like: ``After the mating, the female mantis bites off the male mantis' head, and then she and her girlfriend mantises use it to play a game that looks a lot like Skee Ball.''
Because I live in Florida, my patio is basically a giant singles bar for lizards. On any given day during mating season, I'll see dozens of male lizards out there making their most suave lizard move, which consists of inflating and deflating a red pouch under their chins. They
seem to think that female lizards really go for a guy with a big chin pouch, but I have never once, in 14 years of close observation, seen a female respond. They just squat there looking bored, while all around them males are blinking on and off like defective warning lights.
Every now and then you'll see an offbeat TV news story about some animal, usually a moose, that has for some reason fallen in love with, and decided to relentlessly court, something
totally inappropriate, such as a lawn tractor. This animal is ALWAYS a male. On the TV, they show it hanging around the lawn tractor with a big, sad, moony look, totally smitten, while the lawn tractor cruelly ignores it.
My point here is that, in matters of the heart,males have the brains of a walnut. No, wait! That is not my point. My point is that perhaps you women could cut us males a little bit of slack in the move-making process, because we are under a lot of stress. I vividly remember when I was in 10th grade, and I wanted to call a girl named Patty and ask her to a dance, and before I picked up the phone, I spent maybe 28 hours rehearsing exactly what I was going to say. So when I actually made the call, I was pretty smooth. ``Hello, Dance?'' I said. ``This is Patty. Do you want to go to the Dave with me?'' Fortunately Patty grasped the basic thrust of my gist and agreed to go to the dance. This was a good thing, because if she had
shot me down, I would have been so humiliated that I would have never have been able to go back to school. I would have dropped out of 10th grade and lied about my age and joined the U.S. armed forces, and as a direct result the Russians would have won the Cold War.
That is the awesome power that you women have over us men. I hope you understand this, and the next time a guy walks up and uses some incredibly lame, boneheaded line on you, I hope that, instead of laughing at him, you will remember that he is under the intense pressure of wanting to impress you enough so that you might want to get to know him better and maybe eventually, perhaps within the next 15 minutes, mate with him, thereby enabling the survival of the human
race, which believe me is the only thing that we males are truly concerned about.
In conclusion, let me just say to all females everywhere, on behalf of all males everywhere, that you are very beautiful and your eyes are like two shining stars, unless you're a female
fly, in which case your eyes are more like 2,038 shining stars. So please give us a chance.
And if you're not interested, could you introduce us to your lawn tractor?

my way
07.11.04 (11:30 pm) [edit]I did what i wanted to do
Not what they asked me too
I said what i wanted to say
Not what they thought i should
I became what i wanted to be
Not what they were expecting of me
So they shut me up, cut me out, made as if i wasn't there
Turn ur backs, seal ur lips, pretend as if i don't exist
But i'll b here, living on, really don't need ur help
I'll make it through, live my way, don't need ur stuffy rules
I behaved the way i wanted to
Not the way they wanted me to
I spoke what was on my mind
Not censuring the way they thought was right
I lived the way i wanted to
Not the way they thought was good
So one day i found i was ostracized, had become unacceptable
The condecending talk didn't work so they just went and cut me out
But care not,hate me lots, i'll still make my own way
Go on,shut me up,i'll shout louder still, u'll see, one day
And when the moon is bright and the light is fine and you are not blind anymore
You'll see, you'll know, you'll accept, you'll grow, and acknowledge my way was best
LEAVE NO ROOM FOR REGRETS:
LIVE YOUR OWN WAY
friends

Dead or Alive?
07.07.04 (4:22 pm) [edit]I heard my Mama cry,
Papa had died.
A funeral was held,
(It was nice and proper;)
everybody wept.
Then Papa was buried with his banjo.
My sister cried,'There's nothing more we can do.'
But wait--what's this i see..
Are my eyes being deceived?
Is that Papa walking towards me?
Then who had we buried?
Alas!
It was my father's twin,
poor old uncle Jim,
who lived in New York City.
i wrote this when i was 13.i was just going thru some stuff when i came across it.
philosophy of life
07.07.04 (3:40 pm) [edit]i was just reading up Marlon Brando.he died this thursday.not of my generation but as i've gathered a class act.i came across this movie quote:
"Hey, you wanna hear my philosophy of life? Do it to him before he does it to you." —On the Waterfront
cynical?not really.sounds sensible to me.
IM BACK!!
07.07.04 (3:24 pm) [edit]it was beautiful.we went down to swat and it started raining when we reached our first stop....you know how they show the sky splitting and the rays of the sun coming down and spreading so that it looks like the gateway to heaven in movies sometimes?well add to it some rain and a river with mountains in the background and thats the sight we saw...like i said it was beautiful.
it happened at the second place we stayed at as well...only this time after we had trekked in a light drizzle to the top of a mountain.but believe it or not the third place we went to surpassed them all.we saw the place where three rivers meet,that is,two rivers (of dif. colors) join to become one.the next day we hired jeeps to take us thru dirt tracks to the very edge of the river.on the way we passed waterfalls and drove over streams and brooks.we even got a glimpse of K2 if the guide is to b believed.the place we reached had these cute animals and we went boating.on our way back i insisted on sitting at the same place i did before...this time the sheer drop of the cliff wud b on my side and i so wasn't going to miss it.(the drive was dangerous but while my 6 yr old cuzin was complaining abt the uncomfortable track i cudn't help but b thankful tht it was so.the track gets enough traffic as it is w/o it becoming accessible to everyone....i think everyone knows how man can destroy nature).we stopped over for fishing but u know we were on this reaally tight (bummer..) schedule so we had to move on soon.anyhow thats just some of the things we did before it started raining (again...i know,i know...it happened everywhere we went..evn the fourth place where we stayed at just because it was too long a drive back home to accomplish in one stretch)...by then we had all just kind of collapsed in the jeep....barely 3-4 hrs of sleep a day are NOT enuff see...lekin chalta hai.
it was kind of hectic but fun.i went wid my whole family including uncles,cuzins and such.there were 22 of us and we went in a coaster.we spent half the time travelling.it was a five day trip.one day to reach swat,one day to return and 3 days to visit 4 places.no wonder one after the other we were feeling sick frm lack of sleep.we crossed a whole province by road u see.not easy but thats the way its done in my family and i guess we cud hav gotten more sleep but hey playing cards in graveyards and such and doing our best to NEVER sleep....thts how it goes when we're all together.i suppose its the same for most ppl....lol...
'And it doesn't really matter that we don't eat
And it doesn't even matter if we never sleep
No it doesn't really matter,really doesn't matter at all
Coz we were young then,we are so young,so young now
And when tomorrow comes,we'll do it all again'
The Corrs.
ciao.
