What Is Your Animal Personality?

Cougar

Well I am a Puma....Growl.....

100 days

I don't know if there are regular readers of this blog other than myself....well for those who have been following my life through this today is a landmark...today marks that there are only 100 more days left till I bid goodbye to XL life....


XLRI.....my dream institute....place where there was more learning outside the classroom than inside....place where I made some amazing friends.....place where some Profs where walking Gods of the subject and some who.....well rather not say it....dunno who must be reading this....

On the subject of passing out.....2008 also marks a year when a lot of people are getting married...actually starts with my cousin in Dec 2007, then it is Lady C in Jan, the PS and Nid in March....Amul baby is also around as soon as we graduate....well looks like its raining marriages....

I adopt a puppy....

Following Daffodils' suggestion I decided to adopt this cute little pup....albeit virtually till I can convince Sucho that I need a real one.......Well the naming thing has been put off.....will do so shortly.....

Just wondering......2

.......faced with that dilemma I chose to walk away....with the happy memories of some wonderful time spent together......of dreaming about the future.....of planning about nothing in particular.....of sharing stories about life.....I may be doing wrong....maybe it is wrong for me to refuse to bridge the gap......but to me the chasm is just too huge......and instead of getting hurt time and again.....i choose to leave......to move on......thank you for all that you have been dear friend......for all the time....for all the laughter and joy......for being you.....for letting me be me.....for keeping an eye out so that I don't fall....for holding me when I stumble.....for providing me with a platform to reach the stars.......some day some where we shall meet again.....and hopefully with the past behind us, we shall be able to make up....and then talk bout the old times and the old days......

Just wondering......

What do you do when you have to hide your true feelings because a dear friend hurt you? And that dear friend happens to be the confidant with whom you shared everything? And there was a fissure which over time has become a chasm.....when both are trying to reach out.....but both have egos the size of mountains which will not let you acknowledge that there have been mistakes made on both sides.....that some where deep down you both still care.....but there are other people who are more important now....do you get back for old times sake? or do you walk away with the happy memories and leave the bitter ones behind?.....wondering.....

Hamlet Act 1 Scene 3

LORD POLONIUS:

Yet here, Laertes! aboard, aboard, for shame!
The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!

Some advice doesn't age. Like Poloniu's advice to his son Laertes. Even after 7 long years, I remembered most of the speech. The rest is googled. Modern tool to remind you of ancient wisdom which is still valuable in modern times.

Kandisa

This is the lyrics to the song Kandisa, by Indian Ocean. A song that was an old aramic prayer song. This has been fused into a life infusing, beautiful chant that rejuvenates you and is my greatest therapy when I find that life is just hitting me a bit too hard..... And for good effects am including the photograph of the band too....
