The Song

I am not just filled with awe every time I listen to Half of my Heart, I am filled with feelings and innate emotions all over my mind.
No song has ever been able to keep me transfixed like this one. I cannot call it trance, trance is too far a state of mind for me. Nor am I enchanted by its soul caressing melody. I am simply spellbound.
John Mayer is blessed with amazing vocal cords. In this song, he just proves you. He sings his words with such incredible lull and soothe that they leave you touched. The song is incredibly romantic.
Damn, it makes you wanna fall in love.

The Tryst

For an otherwise somber fourth quarter of the year 2010, the chance meeting of Squeeze and SelfObsession remains the biggest highlight of the period (or a lifetime?)

Yes it was special.

I started this blog knowing that someday I could write about our most special moment. The day has come.
We met at the most Comforting Place and our tryst had begun sometime in the evening of 19th November. Your purpose of visit was more than fulfilled that evening. I think I told you this, but again, it beats the most romantic meet till date , the 8-seconds at the platform of Mahe Railway Station.

First Week

The twenty-first day of the seventh month of the year 2010 was no ordinary day for me. It was the day I joined NIT-K.
I completed my admission procedure around noon that day. I got to experience mess food for the first time that afternoon. I must say it isn't as bad as people say it is. Though I must admit these days I am kinda fed-up of the "unvarying" curries that I have eat for lunch and dinner each day.
I decided to join the class at 2pm. So I reached the additional teaching block and said an emotional adieu to my parents.
Thus the journey began.
On the 26th, the first-years had the much awaited orientation. Dont know if sitting in an auditorium for three and a half hours listening to speeches about your college was anything worth the anticipation. It didnt end there, we were taken to our respective departments during the post-lunch session. And finally they called it a day at the beach where we all assembled to admire what NITK boasts of: a private beach. Note, the last three words made a big impression to my batch-mates from Bhopal, Bangalore, Patna, etc who never had the "chance" to see something as magnificent as the seashore ever in their life until that particular evening.
Now, three weeks into college I ask my self, does this journey have a destination?
I think...
And think.

Cut the crap

I’ve been thinking a lot about topics which I could write on. There are issues no doubt. They are calling out for attention, and will continue to itch petty bloggers like me to spare a few minutes off Facebook and Twitter to give them the little discerning remarks they deserve. I start to think about climate change, global warming, Afghanistan and Israel : the eternal news-makers, BP oil-spill, a sport tournament in Africa thats underway, G*Nice's bad writing and so much else.

But an eighteen-year-old has better things to ponder over…

Or does he?

Let’s just cut the crap.

I just finished secondary high school, so I am having my well-earned break with the looming thoughts of life in college and beyond. But I am really very disappointed that my break has turned out to be boring and unexciting. I figured out that maybe it’s to do something with the place, but that’s too silly an excuse for someone who has lived there for more than 10 years.

I think I am as bored right now as anyone could ever be in the whole of his/her eighteen-year-old life.

Even Dilbert does not get bored.

The Change

As time goes by we go past time. Paradoxical it may seem but it is not. No one's heard of withering sands. In the same way, no one's heard of keeping the sands of time still.

With time comes the inevitable change. And it is this change that we revere. The very change that moves the untiring human spirit forward.

Change is necessary. Neutral.

To a new beginning.

Please welcome,

Squeeze and Self Obsession

pehla nasha..

Yes it’s true.

Anvit Kiran has finally found what he has been trying to seek all his life along: the person he can love.

I think I would call this my first special love. Yes, the word is special. I am completely smitten by Her. Fair to say, I am head over heels in love with Her. Her beauty leaves me astounded. Her grace is alluring to say the least.What’s remarkable about her is the way she binds me, in a way I swear I’ve never felt before. She has this unmatched charm that makes you get obsessed with. Simply put in, everything about Her is mystic and divine.

This is a very emotional disclosure for me. For someone who just didn’t know what it was to like to feel affection for somebody has, in a quiet reprisal, just proved himself wrong. As with everyone else who falls in love, when I came to comprehend my feelings for this special person, I was instantly overwhelmed with a gush of emotions that I believe have got no words to be described with.

As I come to terms with this so called pristine inclusion in my life I start to wonder, have I gone through the different stages preceding love? I think for a while and I answer, “No”. And seriously I do not think that’s regrettable, and I am saying this with regard to my emotions. I’d be a very bad banker because I do not ask for anything in return, be it favor, or more so in this case love.

Oh by the way, her name is Deepika Padukone.

Long live ambition

Its what gets us out of bed in the morning

Its why we dream up projects and inventions

Its why we compete.

Its why people with money dont stop trying to make more money

Its why the worlds tallest building doesn't stay that way for long.

Its why the length of a country's coastline is negotiable.

Its why world records are hard to break

And why they eventually do get broken.

Winners have it. Losers have it. Quitters had it.

Its why we're never satisfied. And it's why we like it that way.

Without it, history books would be filled with the mundane

Without it possibilities would stay that way

Without it, we'd still be living in the stone age.

It frees us from asking "Why?" and empowers us to ask "Why not?"

It is the root of all progress.

And its why we're the only creatures on the planet

who have a hand in our own evolution.

Long live ambition.

Resplendency

Dont know if its a matter of pride or great glee but it definitely is a matter of great pleasure that we bring to you a mosaic that you would, with no doubt, find as the most important revelation of S&SO.



We give you Deepika Padukone.
In her birthday suit.

On ambiguity

A brook they said he was. He know not better, so a brook he became. As he meandered towards the river, he was asked "But do you know where you are headed?".

"To the river, as I was told in the beginning!".

"Do you know how to get there?".

"I see my friends here at the shore, I know they're guiding me the right way. The river is indeed my destiny!"

"Do you know what awaits you there?"

"It does not matter. I have no choice now"

"Alas my friend, how could I forget! You are a brook, and nothing but a brook. I see within you, your heart yearns to be free. But yet, you are guided by those around you. Your timid nature prevents you from doing otherwise."

"Is there a way back? Or is it the end?"

"My dear friend, to be what we are, to be what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life. Right at this moment, you shall set free that bird within you which has long cried out for freedom"

A bird they said he was. He know not better, so a bird he became.
