I'd call it ... You and Me ...

*

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

Before being proved ... a rule is an impossible view ... and the brain has absolutely NO clue !!

*

"Impossible, for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage.
Impossible, for a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage,
And four white mice will never be four white horses!
Such fol-der-ol and fid-dle-dy dee of course, is--- Impossible!
But the world is full of zanies and fools
Who don't believe in sensible rules
And won't believe what sensible people say.
And because these daft and dewy-eyed dopes keep building up impossible hopes,
Impossible things are happening every day."

Lyrics by Rogers and Hammerstein  for IMPOSSIBLE from their musical version of CINDERELLA.

Kali

*

The all engulfing black .. black that swallows light, time, death ... the exceedingly powerful consort of Kaal (Shiv) is revered as the icon of eternal energy and one who absolves from the eternal cycle of birth and death.
Kali, like her name itself, is steeped in symbolism ...

Stupidity Award

*

The famous Baba Einstein once famously said ... (that some not-so-famous person heard and re-told)

(((Only two things are infinite :The Universe and Human stupidity ... and I am not so sure about the former )))

well ... at least I am a part of that coveted group and would like to dedicate this to all those people who acknowledge that ... and of and on keep repeating this fact ....

Screen our representatives

In one of our regular discussions last weekend ... Shubhadeep Da put forth a very interesting topic ...
about Mayawati being not-so-bad a political persona ... the discussion stretched out long... and invariably drifted to the educational qualifications of our representatives ...

Be A Light

That is something that we were taught to be at my dear dear school ... the motto of St Paul's

That is something that I have tried to be. Though I don't know how successful I have been in that endeavor,   yet I have sincerely tried .

Go Greeeeeeeeeeeeen for Patrick !!!

 **

Its the 17th of March and the French calender on my table says that its St Patrick's Day !!!

I asked a dear friend ... what this day signified (I thought he would be the best person to know as his school bore the name of this particular saintly gentleman and he had been blissfully enjoying a day off from the time he had stepped in to its portals ...)
But all I knew was that it was his death anniversary today that gave people soooo sooo much joy that they went almost went nuts !!!!

Tricks maths plays ...

Dear Maths,
I am sick and tired of finding your "X"..
Just accept the fact that she is gone and move on, Dude !! 

And if you still are unhappy ... 

tell yourself that "X" has found "Y" and they are vacationing incognito in the algebraic world with their children permutations & combinations !!

definitions can be fun too !!!

Think of these ....

Rain rain go away ...
Come again another day
Li'l Ani wants to play
Rain rain go away ...

but on second thoughts ...

Rain rain you can spray ...
You have quite warmed us up ... if I may say
I don't mind meeting you on the way
Rain rain  you can stay .

(pages from my diary ... 7th Nov '09)

If the world were a machine ... a motor would be running it.

The mind that made the machine feeds on a thought process - creative, independent & inventive. It is the brilliance of certain beautiful minds that shines as beacons on the tortuous road of a society's progress.

What is the role of an individual's mind in the collective existence of the society? What is its role in shaping the environment which the thoughts and soul would be nurtured ?

I ventured out to find an answer ...

Quarter-life Crisis

(… with inputs from an e-mail I received …)


How often have we heard about mid-life crisis in hushed tones?


To think of such crisis from the other-end of the tube (to which I am closer) … let’s call it the quarter-life crisis … the characteristics or rather the symptoms (if I can take the liberty to call it so) ... are identical !!



So life does actually come a full circle … even when crisis is concerned …

Think about it …

... to begin with ...

The only thing that is constant is CHANGE

 Well ... so here I am ... (This is me ... there's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be... la la la .. I like saying that ... each time I hear/say the first phrase ... even when it is of ABSOLUTELY no consequence !!!)

Okay .. so where was I ???  yeah , SO here I am on my OWN blog ... doing something that I was quite opposed to .. even sometime back ... as late as last week .. ha ha .. (I know I am VERY unpredictable).

But just as anything and everything else ... I too changed my mind one bright morning & I thought of making my own blog !!!
