Friendship For Thought...

Time is too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love, time is eternity.
"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind"
We smile at whom we like,
We cry for whom we care,
We laugh with whom we enjoy
& we become angry with whom we feel is our own.
That's Friendship

Network Providers' Messages....

The telecommunication sector is definitely undergoing a rapid change and the major service providers in Mumbai are Hutch, Airtel, Idea etc are not only engaging in price wars but also in message and headache wars. So this post is dedicated to them for flooding me with really sweet phone calls everyday and that too, during my study leave when I'm in the best of my moods;)

Calls
The calls are generally regarding converting from prepaid to postpaid. Looks like they got a lot of free stationary to print statements of bills and send them to our addresses when the last thing I want is parents checking my bills and frequency of calls. If I don't give the mailing address as my residential address, then too there are other problems like no check on talktime and this is not realistically possible as there are a lot of calls nowadays like breakup advice calls, boyfriend issues calls, college submission calls, just ranting away calls etc and all I can say is "postpaid seriously nahi parvadtha bhai"...;)

Balance Issue Messages
Once your balance goes below a certain limit in prepaid, whenever you touch your phone to call someone or even give a missed call, you will be subjected to a very sweet lady's melifluous voice telling you that "aapki khadkee chal rahi hai...kripiya don't even think of speaking to someone"!! This I call as the "jhale pe namak" stage:p And this also leads to mental stress cos then who will one rant to about college submissions being such a pain and how stressed out life is:p

Balance Check Messages
This is another headache kind of message. Right now when I checked my balance just 5 minutes before, it gave me my balance and also a very sweet message saying Meet KATRINA in person!! Sms MEET to 4646....Well I think girls will be freaked out after checking the balance and think that "yahaan pe balance 10Rs. balance dikha raha hai and kya main pehnungi jab milne jaungi cos I dont have money to buy a dress!! And guys all i can say is its not K-A-T-R-I-N-A but its K-H-A-T-R-A-H-A-I-N-A....kyunki Salman milega na;) So think before you press your doom number i.e 4646 and also waste Rs2 of your balance:p

Score Check Messages
Cricket is almost like a religion in India. So obviously service providers want to capitalise on that. They will send messages like "To watch the lastest scores, sms CRI to 3636". I can understand most of the times the way Indian team has performed you felt the reason to CRY but at least not now.....we are happy the way its performing now!!

Caller Tune Messages
This is the completely weird category...each and every song from "Piya Tu...Ab tho Aaja" is a latest song because of the remix. Any actor's film does well, then its "download latest hot Abhishek songs". The ultimate thing was when I saw Himesh Reshammiya's songs to be downloaded and the latest song was "Tere Sang Ishq" from the movie "Tom Dick and Harry".
The original song goes like..
Tere Sang Ishq Hai Yaar, Tere Sang Hi Rehna..
My version....
Tere Sar Mein Joo Hai Na, Tere Sang Nahi Rehna...
(For thos of you who have heard this song, Actually hum and see, it fits the tune:p)

Original Song..
Dil Ki Surk Deewaron Pe, Naam Hai Tera Tera...
My version...
Gaane Ki Har Bol Pe, Naak Hai Tera Tera...
(What a nasal voice...gosh!!)

My advice to the service providers is please do not send personalised messages cos I'm seriously not feeling personalised by all this:p If i recollect more kinda messages Ill write a sequel to this post, as of now lemme get back to studyin cos exams begin tomorrow and my brains av gone for a stroll and so I decided to write a post...Cya:p

Akele Hain....

akele hai, to kyaa gam hai
chaahe to humaare bas mein kyaa nahi
bas yek jaraa, saath ho teraa
tere to hum...kab se sanam

ab ye nahi sapanaa, ye sab hain apanaa
ye jahaan pyaar kaa, chotaa saa ye aashiyaan bahaar kaa
bas yek zaraa, saath ho teraa.. ..

fir nahi tootegaa, hum pe koi toofan
saajana, dekhana, har toofan kaa main karungi saamana
bas yek zaraa, saath ho teraa.. ..

ab to mere saajan beetega har din
pyaar ki baahon mein, rang jaayegi rut teri adaaon mein
bas yek zaraa, saath ho teraa.. ..

Have a Heart....

I travel by the Mumbai public transport (BEST) to college everyday. Its an hr's journey for me and if I'm not reading my daily dose of newspaper during this time, I notice people and make mental comments about them. The bus is crowded in the morning time as it is the peak hour and I generally get a seat only after half an hour. BEST has the system of having 3 whole seats (i.e count of 6) for ladies and 2 seats (i.e count of 4) for senior citizens. Now when I climb in, there are chances that an old uncle is sitting on a ladies seat, I never tell him to get up cos I really don't mind standing and I know that he needs to sit more than me. But there are so many college students who come and create a hue and cry about it, tell him to get up and sit merrily to rant away on their cellphones. I blasted a particular girl cos she showed utter disrespect to the uncle. But noone else opened their mouths. Where's the respect for age gone?? Where's the consideration gone?? What bringing up does this show??? Similarly if pregnant ladies are standing, noone gets up and offers a seat....is warming up the damn seat so important than just moving your ass of the seat??? I think need at that moment should be given complete consideration...senior citizens, pregnant ladies, children with fractured hands(noone offers to hold their schoolbag, let alone sit). There is no use of one being a human being if one does not have this much sense and nothing moves one after seeing this. If one cannot stand at this age, when can one stand then?? Old age is a phase in life which everyone is gonna face...tomorrow the same thing is gonna be done on you...imagine how you would feel then?? Women talk about equality and take seats reserved for them even in buses...but understand that you are definitely entitled to it but not at the cost of becoming insensitive to the core and not being moved by people around you...

Time - Gone For A Toss

In 1 week - Term end
7 days - 3 projects, 4 vivas
In 2 weeks - Exams
In 1 day when exams begin - 2 papers

7 days - 8 subjects
No.of pages to be read - infinite..i guess (I'm sorry ...i dont know the count cos the books are brand new till now:p)

I guess good times and bad times are a part and parcel of life...but what to do when one doesn't have "time" only...:( Really weird...Anyways I just wanted to rant away...not to show that I'm busy but just to say that time is racing against me and my mind is not functioning for an original post or poem...I'm too tense.....

"Expect" Statement

Giving people a little more than they expect
is a good way
to get back a little more than you'd expect...

This statement actually caught me thinking...

And guess what was the topic after 4 days the incident happened in Lakme India Fashion Week... Wardrobe malfunction probe....i mean seriously Indian politicians have got time only for this now....seriously this happens only in India...RSS-Congress-NCP..battling it out on this one too.!! Gimme a break cos i really need one since some of us happen to be the few people racing against time and having no time for ourselves!!!

P.S: And now im seriously wondering if there is going to be a committee report on this too...i am absolutely clueless.

Panaah...

Simte Hue In Hooton Pe...
Ek Unkaha Nagma Hai...
Mehfooz Rakhe Hue Is Raaz Pe...
Tere Jazbaaton Ki Mohar Hai...
Mujhe Apne Jazabaaton Mein Panaah De...

Bandh Hue In Aankhon Mein...
Ek Anjaana Aansoo Hai....
Waqt Ki Girafth Se Bekhabar...
Yeh Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan Hain...
Tere Intezaar Ki Mohar Hai....
Mujhe Apne Palkon Mein Panaah De...

Khuli Hui In Baahon Mein...
Ek Meethasa Ikraar Hai...
Dooriyan Se Nazdeekiyon Tak...
Tere Deewanepan Ki Mohar Hai...
Mujhe Apne Ishq Mein Panaah De...
