No funnies here

Warning - There are no witty oneliners or funny incidents or foot-in-mouth situations - those who hate rants STAY AWAY

There are mood swings and then, there are mood swings.

So while I spend half a day feeling top of the world, I spend the rest trying to strangle myself.
And there are pretensions to be kept up. It is important that you 'look' okay. Who cares whether you are or not? Cant think of many who geniunely would.

So, what makes me feel top of the world? Well... The now-famous J now has my name on top of his blog link - so a lot of people have been silenced - in his words " abe! tujhe khush karne ke liye main ne itni saari ladkiyon se dushmani le li - tujhe aur kya chahiye? hamesha khit pit" So there - a tiny bit of appreciation for being a friend I get :P

Otherwise

This Corporate Strategy case study seems to be getting on my nerves brrr! I have an entire booklet to read about the Japanese beer industry and Asahi breweries. Seems like my professor recently visited my blog and decided to give me a lesson or two about drinking. Need to have all the strategies ready by tomorrow and believe me I havent touched the case yet - still reading the reading material given to understand the case ! Aah the woes ... gone are the blissful days of Math and Accountancy.

Work, for the first time is getting on my nerves ... not because I dont like it - I love my job; its just frustrating to run to the finish line just barely within time and Ive been doing that on a couple of tasks on hand - and to think I havent begun on another task that takes a min of 2 weeks .. while the deadline is just 4 days away - its gonna be a helluva ride !
--------------------------------------------
A self evaluation test required me to write my core values.
Easy.
The same test required me to write the philosophy of my life.
Easy.
The test asked me what was that one thing for which I would stake the above two.
I scribbled the answer. - Easy.

Why would one find questions about oneself difficult?

I stared at the answers. The first two were self centered; almost bordering on the egoistic.The words showed off a pride of being me. The two reasons that made me different from the rest – and hence made me ME. Gave me an illusion of life and a good illusion at that.

It was the third that ripped the fabric of my existence apart. The third answer made my life hollow and mocked every ion of my being.

Teary eyed, I wished to rub it off; write something that did not hurt so much; write a lie so that I could get back to sanity - Foolish.

Someone once told me - until its in your mind, its there - something vague; once articulated and written down; it becomes something solid and tangible. You have told yourself, something that you never wanted to accept - and this means you ARE on your way to accepting it.

One is ready to throw away your whole being for something one is never destined for.

The answer to the third question –

True and Absolute Love.

What are you ready to throw off your whole being for?

If there WAS anything called true and absolute love - I wld have made sure u got it deary.
Guddu .. accept the fact that there IS no true and absolute love. Wanting it, will only hurt more.
-The End.

@Ran - yeah right! I needed that dialogue and I needed it from you *rolls eyes* puhlease

@ Anon - If I were you, I would atleast garner the guts to leave my name. and about what I do with J & his feelings (even if he IS that dude from that blog u mention)isnt exactly a matter of international importance that needs discussion - so there :)

you probably have fallen for the guy because he is so funny and self proclaimed "husband" material. Getting your link on his blog doesnt mean a thing, wait until you see his true colours; you will curse the day you got to know him.

Because Arpana starts with an "A", it will obviously be amongst the first if not "the first" in many blog lists. I guess Mr. Anon doesn't know that :)
