NOTHING

One lazy afternoon as i sat as usual doing nothing concequential suddenly reality hit me.
In one years time i'd probably be a knave to some IT company and ..not have time
to blog or WORSE :probably have to blog bout indian IT(yawn!!)considering that they may
judge my competence based on my blog(scary!).....

so i decided to fruitfully utilise my time to blog about something i always wanted
blog about : ' NOTHING'.

The idea crept in when a friend of mine chided me bout not blogging as often as i ought to.."you cant have a blog and blog about nothing " he said..really??
why not.....

NO wait!!! Theres more logic behind this seemingly stupid act..I SAT GARNERING THE
NUMEROUS THOUGHTS CROSSING MY CHAOTIC MIND DECIDING WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT....


i thought..
->what would take peoples thoughts off their chores?
->what would make em go ga ga over my blog?
->what would make me an instant success?

ANS:
NOTHING


Its surprising how the answers to so many perplexing questions lie in this ordinary word

->What happens after man's death , burial and decay?
->What does one get in return for charity ,philanthrophy,good will apart from a
pat on the back ?
->What happened in the recent round of doha talks
(or any politial summit for that matter)?
->Whats the heroine wearing in the latest flick?
->WHAT DOES PARIS HILTON DO FOR A LIVING??###?


see...

its also a word that clearly demarcates the sexes
pop a simple question :

"what are u thinkin bout???"

If u get the answer 'nothing' from a woman its time for panic..she could be wounded
distressed..offended or simply mad...

The same answer from a guy means nothing.(pretty much similar to the other things
they say).At least thats the answer i get from my brother for 5o% of the
questions i put across.

Just as it applies to both sexes it could be used for two categories of people..

1) those who say it best by saying nothing at all...
2) those whome ud rather wish would say nothing at all...(for those of u u who dont get it
do check out Aishwarya Rai's David Letterman interview
http://youtube.com/watch?v=t2joPnxSv4U&search=letterman%20rai

belive me if the fake accent dosent kill u..the dim wit definitely will!!

COMING BACK TO NOTHING
there are million ways of sayin it nothin..(american)...nuthin ..(blase)....
NOTHING (emphatic)....n--th...(murmur bored)


So thats all for now bout nothing..if you thought it was very simple to write bout 'nothing'
and that i get away easily writing about 'nothing' U ARE MISTAKEN.

It took me great effort to STEER CLEAR OF 'ANYTHING' THAT WOULD CURTAIL my arduoudous task of
writng bout NOTHING.

SO HOPE U LIKED IT;-)

A notion on success...

Who according to you is more successful?
-> THE SUN that powers the solar system.. burns relentlessly fervently and fiercely
OR
->THE EARTH seemingly placid... ..Only revolving but yet sustaining life.

What powers the world???OBSESSION???
its what causes the love-lorn to try
its what causes suicide bombers to die
its what keeps the tycoons to stay awake
its responsible for all excitement, tumult and ache
its why the writer yields his pen
its why artists are never satisfied
its when problems are never nullified
its when SATISFACTION is IS NOT DEFINED
its when THE UNATTAINABLE IS WHAT U ARE OUT TO FIND

These were the thoughts racing through my mind as i aimlessly surfed channels
on the 'idiot-box'...there was Amitabh's interview on one....Beckam 'bending it'
on another..Barka reporting ...and Chidambaram with yet another propasal.....

All of them seemed so riveted and immersed doing something that comes so naturally
yet so ardently.

And then i thought of myself and my inconsequential existance ..Its true that talents come in all packages but why did mine have to be sooo MICRO-SCOPIC....???
Its not like im unhappy ;i'd rather not switch places with anyone else on earth
(although i may have a long wish -list if fairy godmother decides to pop up).:-)

ERICH SEGAL'S 'The class' which describes the Harvard class of 58' has quite a few 'success stories'...a gifted musician..a martyr laying his life for the country..a genius from rags to riches,but when i finished the book i could not help but like the narrator 'Andrew Eliot' the whose only claim to fame was 'bein a darn nice guy' ...
Coming back to my first question..i would rather not choose between the sun and the earth.....


Success ' although i dont know how its measured or defined has a wonderful fact about it...ITS RELATIVE... whats right for me isnt so right for you.
Some would say the math genious 'WILL, in 'GOOD WILL HUNTING 'forsaked success but
some would say he pursued his dream..'its all in the frame'..some where down the line Einstein's relativity makes real sense..

Then again theres a CATCH ..."whose right is more right ?" as Paulo cohelo asked.
Where is the line between genius and eccentric..when would a persons view be considered as imaginative and when it would be dissmissed as delirious..how many conform to your definition of success? does it even matter??All that matters is your key to happiness ..you find your reason for believing... your reason for living.

MY FRIEND - ADI

DISCLAIMER-I don't claim that the contents of this article are not true to the best of my knowledge - author

Various reasons could be sited as to why I would choose my friend 'ADI' to be the 'ITEM'
on my first blog.
a) its not a great aberration from the alphabetic order.
b) he is roll 214 and logically the next post could be about 215(that's me) without sounding narcissistic
c) the events in adis life are muddled enough to make an interesting read for anybody.

No don't mistake me for stepping on my friend adi's feelings to fulfill my selfish pursuits
(knowing adi he will be thanking me for all the free publicity).

In fact the last point is so true , the moment I thought of the topic I darted out of bed
created a blog( an event I had been procastinating for ages),and posted this article..

for starters..
my friend-Adi is tall, lanky classmate of mine with bright eyes and well exercised eye
muscles(owing to all the exercise by blinking and winking).Its surprising how me and adi came to be friends considering that two people have to spend time to get to know each other and where Adi is concerned there is no time-no time for lecture no time for classes-he always has "other"
important matters to attend to.

My friend -Adi is a light traveler ;not only is he light but also that he dos not adhere to the norm of carrying a paper or a pen to class preferring to depend on kindly souls who would provide for him.he like to just ~~FLOAT~~into classHe does carry a big bag these days but I dont know what's in it.. Definitely not stationery.

My friend -Adi never has a problem with guys-he always gets along.In the unlikely event that he does come to class he never competes for space with the guys ..hes happy dozing in the last bench behind the gals or finds a victim to bug.....no not me...im far too immune to be bugged by adi, we get along perfectly ; but there are many(definetely one)who may disagree.

My friend -Adi is a boon to the otherwise mundane economic line of ranchi..He brings life to money matters borrowing squandering--borrowing-lending-borrowing...Many establishments thrive in adi's presence..for instance he paid 17 grand to 'car-launcher' and attend merely two... no wait 3 sessions. Adi simply has no time.

One of the latest feathers in My friend -adi's cap--is the F*.dont be misled by the star..
a black hole would be a more appropriate suffix to describe the peril of the grade.(one gets due tho shortage of attendence at bit mesra).Procuring an F* on reflects
a) on ones indifference to rules..
b) being utterly oblivious to warnings from professors,warning notices..
c)ones laziness to walk upto the dispensary and get a medical certificate (which is not exactly a Herculean task considering that neither is the dispensary too far nor is the doc too strict)
d)ones sheer grit

So wishing adi all the very best in his' battle against the stars'.
