Mind's Recycle Bin

Few days back, someone in my friends’ list shared this article: http://chronicle.com/article/What-Are-You-Going-to-Do-With/124651/This article showed me a mirror. I always had questions. Questions that no one liked. And most importantly, these were the questions which had no easy answers. Since the questions were tough, weird and made me and people around me uncomfortable, I started ignoring them

Before writing anything I must admit that I used to do the same things that I am mentioning below. So I’m just a hypocrite :PThere is a friend of mine whose attitude really pisses me off. He refuses to watch any film that is a ‘superhit’ & looks down upon people who watch the same. Anything that is enjoyed by a LOT of people, has to be crap. And, he feels very superior to these ‘dumb mass

Note: If the reader feels that I have different view points just to 'stand-out' in the crowd, you better close this tab and get back to commenting on your friend's facebook albums with "awwwwwww <3." If someone does things just for the heck of being 'different,' he/she is a loser (okay,a confession: I tried to deliberately 'stand-out' in the crowd in my teenage because I was a highly insecure

Changes...

2010-10-23T12:31:00.005+05:30

A lot has changed over the last year or so. I was full of life and was ready to take on the world. I had role models (some I have met and some whom I haven't met). But a very depressing phase took over my life completely. I realized that my so-called 'role models' had flaws and that they are human. This was very hard to accept. A very very important thing that I have observed is that nearly 96

If the world ends today,I would rather die a virgin than sleep with a guy who watches F.R.I.E.N.D.S

2010-03-16T09:59:00.009+05:30

People who watch F.R.E.I.N.D.S should be shot. It is not funny. The only reason American people watch it is because of the good looking people in it (I have nothing against good-looking people, trust me). Indians watch it because it is a 'foreign' show.I hate F.R.I.E.N.D.S. No logic or reason can make me love it. I don't care if I'm shallow. I don't care if people call me childish. Sorry, I just

The doorbell rang.I felt as if, my world will change forever. You know the feeling when you know that you WILL get it? After all this fucking years!"Hi dad""Hi."Oh, he has just come.Dad removes his shoes. Then socks.

Your goal is clear but the method to achieve that Goal is not clear.And when such problems arise, you want some examples. When you have

Today is another one of those "days." Human Beings have days for Everything. Whatever. So,Its Your Day. You are expecting me to write a blog on how much I love you? Or maybe Some Poetry? Or you expect some Gifts? If you are expecting such things then I'm Sorry. As always you'll be disappointed. I can write this in some other way..Maybe in some Fairy Tale form..decorate it with adjectives, whine

On behalf of valmiki

Placing a hand on my soul and speaking on it's behalf,even doing that won't justify the title i have choosen. What valmiki was,can't be just comprehended by the available senses of this yuga. He who was called maharishi ,the author of the epic ramayana,yoga vasistha et cetra,can't be comprehended by the normal and abnormal senses available . He who was able to look in the other world,bring back

Like every Indian daughter, I had my 'Ramanyana narration' nights. My mother used to say:" Sushmita, this story is of sacrifice , courage, obedience and selflessness. "At that time I was fascinated by the selfless characters. But as I travelled more and walked more roads of life I realised that some parts are unacceptable to me.Firstly Mr. Dashrata. He is straight from the bollywood masala

Firstly i would like to thank my friend Mandar for suggesting this book. The book lets you feel the pain of the defeated hero: the hero who endured the biggest obstacles to fulfill his dream but saw that dream evaporate.............in front of his own eyes.... today one of my friends was telling me about a family who could have had it all: but simply could'nt. the family was going through a

FRANKNESS V/S FLATTERY

2007-09-21T06:25:00.000+05:30

Some people say that today more than the obvious talent the most important art required is flattery. well i totally disagree with the statement. it is totally against my principles. i totally believe in the line in the book "jane eyre" by charlotte bronte:" frankness and rudeness is better than flattery."but my question is that do we really need flattery as our arms and ammunition when we enter

Today's world is full of unnecessary hype and overrated "HEROES". well are these people really heroes?? that brings me to the formality.....definition.i dont believe in defining something because when we define something we restrict its scope.but since i have to get some readers i have to define. hero for me is a person who is very comfortable being himself, a person whose legs are pulled by
