The Holi Bash!!!!!

Hey guys, its holi again. Although I am not avid holi fan, but I strongly feel it’s a unique festival. There is no such festival like holi where you get up early only to get dirty, soiled and drenched. And there you are, elated with mischievous smile, eyeing for the target to splash the colors of fun and frolic. It is the only festival where you try to be in your worst old clothes. All in all, it’s an amazing festival.
COLORS!!! Given a split second to think of the first thing that comes to your mind when mentioned this word, what would you think of? Joy, Happiness, Life. Feels like someone just whispered those magic words in your ears and then rolled the magic wand over your head to take you back to those days of childhood. Absolutely fearless, carefree, enthusiastic you go back those days when blood used to rush through your veins. This is exactly how it feels like celebrating this festival of colors. This date March 22nd - 08 was my last and the first time celebrating such enthued Holi as a Bitsian .

So all the fun began one night before the actual celebration when we had a Holi wing meet with the wildest of plans being made for holi bash .(well my wing tagged as the ghotu wing but then when it comes to fun then too nobody can beat us :D ). So we were all ready to celebrate the festival of colors. Gosh!! I am still wearing them on my hands. Somehow all challenges posed by the soap companies have failed now :D. Well we had a long session of fun where all of us in the hostel came on the ground to played holi together and then we turned on the music and danced on n on . If you are thinking of a simple holi with only Gulal then Nooooo!! there were colors ,sprays,mud,dry leaves and yeah there were EGGS (was yukk made me vomit n wash my hair nearly 6 times ), .After all “GIRLS will be GIRLS” ;)and they are the best when they are like that. So everyone was dumped one by one under the water tap ,then we went out for the campus tour singing n dancing all the way :D aaj mein upar aasman neeche n yeah ruk ruk ruk oh my darlin give me a luk was the song specially sung by us dedicated to karthika :D.After that there was mad angles session at cnot :D .This was followed by snap session to freeze the moments :) and then their were some plans cooking up while karthika went to get the cam ...Yes it was Karthika's Tshirt tearing session ;) followed by fash p and dance session :D .Aah it's still paining in my back .After all the fun and frolic in the ground we came back to our room and slept like log . Well these are some of the days that we do not forget throughout our lives and the best is to make the most of them. It was again one of my most happiest moments in Bits . These are some of the precious moments which always would make you smile no matter where you are, where you go or what you do.

Blank........

Sometimes there are so many thoughts going on in your head that it crosses that critical threshold beyond which it becomes impossible to concentrate. The efficiency of your brain drops to near zero levels. And then comes the Blank. Suddenly the brain flushes all the thoughts away and decides to sit totally idle, probably thinking to itself, "Screw it! I have had enough!"
Its quite frustrating really. I hate the Blank.

In a peculiar way of its own, the brain takes a vacation. It stops thinking, and then goes into that hibernation (which I called the Blank). When its done with its sleep, it demands more useless/mindless activities to keep itself amused (mindless amusement, that is). ........ And then you sit idle for some more time, staring at the monitor screen, recalling what not ,like while coding my plcc assignment when i was struck with the dear dearer n dearest segmentation fault , after debugging it for just some 4 hrs I recalled a statement given by my teacher "this is the course which will separate boys from men n girls from women" n i felt really really girlish at a moment ..... but then came an idea and an idea can change your life ...did some magic ,came back to code n guess what segmenataion was gone within 4 minutes :O( well i was myself amazed -again coz of the 4 mins n 4 hrs n yeah about the heights of my stupidity for performin such a silly billy error )

guess you just need something loud to distract yourself from the getting gripped into more idleness due to the silence

I did experience this Blank and its not pretty yaar but yeah in last two days i did discover how to fight this feeling too so if u too have ever faced such thing or ever go through such a feeling (hope u dont :)) feel free to contact one n only neha for the magic ;)

Venus favors intelligence :P

A friend of mine recently asked me whether I had thought her boyfriend was a flirt, and a Casanova the first time I had met him ......now that all three of us are good friends and may be would be a bit biased about answering ....
It got me thinking about the nature of people.And here i present my analysis- I realised that there is a big difference between flirts and Casanovas. And even within those who flirt.Flirting is an art ,its about wit, charm, sarcasm... it is about ‘playing’ with words, with ideas and heightening the experience of the moment between two people. It is what can display true intelligence. Some of the most flirtatious people I’ve found here atleast, are either in extremely committed relationships, or are at a very comfortable distance from most people they meet.
Lots of guys also think of themselves as flirts because they keep ogling and don’t feel shy about telling girls that they are pretty, that they are beautiful. And how much they are in love with them. Flattery is not equivalent to flirting. Flattery is a very boring try if you ask me, and infact, should come across very indirectly.
Flattery on one hand it’s annoying because it is quite patronising. Like you’re trying to woo a child with nice words, with a toy or something. On the other hand, it is something that only a child would do: try to flatter someone to get something.
No, actually it isn’t. Children never, ever use manipulation and flattery to get what they want. They throw a tantrum, and say it directly. Who am I trying to fool?
It is patronising. Most STEREOTYPES project women as ‘babies’. So I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the reason why flattery is used to try to woo women. As if the idea of a compliment is to offer some bait or something, and that really puts me off.
Well again opinions vary ,i jus remembered my friend contradicting me .. she loves lukin at the life through the kaliedoscopic prism of bollywood possibilities and thus flattery is a big turn on when it comes to her and i still remember it was so much of fun presenting her with all dumb bollywood filmi isshtyle logics when she was searchin for one to steal some of the precious moments of his crush ...
the besht and typical of them being my watch has stopped wrkin ,gotto go the repair shop ,mind accompanying me n the watch starts workin perfectly at the shopkeepers doorstep ...magica lolz and she taking all these advices seriously that was one moment i rolled out laughing ...Again the point was that what i may have suggested may have not appealed her coz there lies a vast difference in our approach towards life ,may be i get appeased by something simple and elegant but she prefers something exotic and bright....All sweet romantic bollywood stuff ,the hopping around trees and more :D
There is a certain boredom and mediocrity ... yes, if I may use the word ..in this that turns me off in some way....
Where are all the French restoration immoral wit combats that came out through the drama of the eighteenth century, or the dialogues in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, or some of the most witty, flirtatious lyrics from the old Hindi film songs lost?
Indirectness, satire, wit and may be sarcasm ...these are the things that spell intelligence and charm, atleast for me. I think the tendency to give compliments and sweet-talk belongs to the far more simplistic, to some another generation. Which does not mean that I’m saying you shouldn’t tell the person directly that you genuinely admire them if you do for whatever qualities they possess or don’t possess, or complement someone for being pretty. But it shows when someone really means what he or she is saying from the heart.
“Two paths diverged in the woods, and I – I took the less travelled one,” may I say? This is something about indecision also. Till a certain time in my life, I’d envied people who were confident; for whom things came very easily. There are people who are sure of things and likewise confident because they’ve never known the options that exist -- blissful in their ignorance. There are others, who can never be confident, because they can never get over the complexity of choice. There are probably one in a million who reach the level of true confidence after having implemented the idea that completeness is in the incomplete; that decision is in indecision and perfection in imperfection: go by your personal instincts.

I have found that there is very little apparent connection between the beginning of this post and the end of this post but whatever ....
