It's almost August.. wow

Summer is going by fast.

It is almost August, and I can't believe my internship is going to be over soon, and I will be back in classes. Sigh!

I love my job, so I am kinda sad about leaving it. And then I am not looking forward to certain few things in fall.

The good thing though, summer is going well, better than I thought it would actually. It is probably the best summer I have had since I came to college, and that my friend is something.

First time ever in four years, I am so sure of things :D

And I think I just met someone awesome .. haha.. ;)

Some things are just not meant to be

How do you justify not being able to be together, even though you miss each other?

It amazes me to see how sometimes when people get out of relationships, they miss each other a lot, but they just know they can't be together because they know it will not work out.

You don't talk to each other, you never see each other even though you miss each other, and remember the good times. You will avoid every possibility of getting to see each other, because you know it will make you weak, and you might just get into a vicious cycle again.

Life is a soap after all. There is some truth in all the dramas we watch. It's not easy understanding them till you actually go through something very intense, and then in a blink of an eye it's all over.

I am saying all this because I just realized how often these things happen to people. When I see my girl friends missing the good times they shared with a special guy, I can't help but wondering why two people can't be together when they know they will always care.

I guess it takes longer than I thought it does. It does not take a couple of months, but a lot of months to let everything be ok I guess (I am so not normal, I forget too soon..sigh.. that's a good thing I guess)

I hope these friends of mine are happy again (actually three of them.. it's like a break up season I guess). I wish they forget everything too.

Yeh dooriyan

So... that title basically means..."these distances".

I just want to say, yeh dooriyan yeh toh zaroori, par satati hain yeh dooriyan. Kaash na hoti yeh dooriyan, hota sab aasaan. Mil jaate hum kahin, na hoti yeh dooriyan

Reid

If you watch the bachelorette, which I bet a lot of you do, I mean c'mon.. no matter how cheesy the show is, some boys always take your heart away.

Reid, the boy from Philly (that's why I am little biased), is just adorable.

I know she let me him go in the last episode, but I don't know why I feel he will come back. Hint hint: He was not even there at the "Men, till it all episode", so that gives us some hint, doesn't it.

He is just so good. I mean the why Jillian cried when he left was worth seeing (I still believe in some reality in reality TV).

I can't wait for the finale. I can't wait to see who wins, and if it's either Krypton or Edd.. I will kill myself. Something tells me.. it is my boy Reid. Sigh!

So here is to you Reid and Jillian.

Easy ... nahhhh :D

Me: I think you should sleep

He: Yeah, I think I will go to bed. Talk to you tomorrow?

Me: ok.. nite!

He: kya yaar. talk to me

Me: lol! i thought you wanted to sleep

He: u r so difficult. why do have to be so difficult.

Me: waat. I think I am way too easy

He: You are so not

Really??? I thought I was... haha... its good to know at least someone thinks I am being difficult.

Yes yes I am weird.

P.s:: Easy in terms of time availability btw

Reminiscing

Marie came to see me this weekend.

So many memories came rushing back. The streets of Mannheim, the big apartment in Jungbusch, the long walks, the countless talks, the German food, and so much more.

It all seems so long ago. When we were seperating in Germany, we did not know when we'll see each other. There are so many people I met there, and there so many I will probably never see again.

Like that extremely hot french-spanish boy. Or the Germans who helped me so much, or the Polish I hung out with, like that Candadian girl who thought I was pretty, I can just go on pretty much.

She brought so may memories with her.

The best ones being a Coffee Fellows, a cafe in markt-platz. We used to 'pretend' to study there, thanks to the free wi-fi. Just sit there for hours, and talk while sitting on those comfy chairs. Oh man!!!! I think I miss it. I think I would like to do it all over again, in a different way, in a much better way. I messed up... I think I will love it if I do it again.

Romance in the air

For some reason, the weather is super romantic..

And I am all smiles...

And I dont know why... lol

The week that went by

When I was in India sometime back, I was really thinking coming back to Philly, life would be busy but not really ummm..... fun.

But as much as I hate to say it, I think coming back to Philly (not that I have been spent more than 4 days there since I came back) turned out well.

A week in Virginia just flew by. I worked lots of hours but I actually managed to do other things as well (sleep was at all all time low, but one night I put in 10 hours.. incredible)...

I got to see Rob again.. yay to that...

I saw more of D.C (man the city is something)

I met some interesting people (that one I wish I could disclose)

I watched Harry Potter and the half blood prince... I mean people have opinions, but I am a little unhappy. Dumbeldore's death should have got way more footage than it did.

Oh well!!

Sadly I am missing the beach today tomorrow with interns.. would have loved to go to a beach and get paid for it..lol

Lastly, I think I like this hotel room. haha! I don't even know why. Weird.. given that I am all by myself. Man.. I am back :D

Funny Funny

Pooja: You have happy status messages

Me: Yea :)

Pooja: Is there a boy in the picture

Me: lol.. no! I am not that fast

Pooja: oh and you are happy. Good :)

She underestimates me a little... lol

Sigh

I think one day we'll be friends

At least I hope so :)

I say leave it

It's like it never happened

Strangers

It's like i'm in a different world

I can stay by myself now :)

Can't wait for the weekend

I am good at knowing

the thing about me is, when I want to know stuff I make it happen.

the other thing is, even when I dont ask for it, it happens. I can't believe my luck.

I don't know what it is. I think it's because I like to talk. I talk about myself, I listen to them, and then they tell me things which are completely irrelevant to the existing conversation (Since they are telling me, I don't cut them off obviously, who does not like gossip ;) ).

Even though I don't really care anymore, I still know!

May be its good. Doesn't let me believe in things that do not exist, or in other words the 'good' that I may think exists.

In general girls are very intuitive, especially about their loved ones. I wonder when will men realize that. Sigh....

I am probably not making much sense, but actually I just had a "What happened when you were gone" conversation at work, home and with friends. People fill me in.... I love people :)

Anyhoo...

This song is to thank you for leaving me :D


And this one is for someone who likes it... here you go I put it up for you :P

Chain email about boys

I just got an forwarded chain email from one of my friends who believes all men are .....(you know what I mean)..

I could not stop laughing when I read this. It some how seems true, because I am sure every girl has had this kind of conversation with one boy or the other at least once in her life. (I wish though, if you are a girl, you don't have to)...

He: Me and her are just friends
She: So that means she can live with you?
He: Don't you trust me?

5 days later...

He: We need to talk
She: I know what you are gonna say
He: Me and her kissed
She: You and me are done
He: Can we not be friends?
She: (Amazed look)

4 days later .....

She: Well... I wish you are happy with her, I don't want to be bitter, after all we shared a lot
He: I know I was wrong
She: So isn't it weird sleeping with someone a week later
He: I am not having sex with her so soon

5 days later ......

You know what happens...


Hahahaha.. I could not stop cracking up. I just could not. I think I should read chain emails sometimes, I usually just delete them.

I am sure though every boy is not a 'He', and I hope every girl is not a 'She'.

Summer Update

I swear guys, even if you have never seen a bollywood movie, you have to see love aaj kal... may be you'll know why I love what I love.

I want you to dump me

I dont know how many of you girls out there have ever been to the website called thefrisky.com, but if you have not, then give it a shot.

It is filled with stories and suggestions that actually make sense (and are a very good time pass)

The piece below is from the above website.. and I just love it...

I want you to dump me

Dear Gentlemen,

When you know you don’t want to see me anymore, I need you to do me a favor: be an adult and dump me. Don’t text me pretending that you want to reschedule when you flake out on our plans, don’t promise you’ll call me later if you’re not gonna, don’t ask for my number if you have no intention of ever calling me, etc. If I wanted to date someone who mastered the disappearing act, I’d have schtooped a magician. But I didn’t, I dated/boyfriended/made out with/dry humped on the dance floor/flirted with you. Now, I need you to breakup with me.

And I’m totally fine with us not working out. I just don’t want to be left with false hope and then no explanation.

1) It makes me feel like an idiot for ever having liked you.

2) Are you trying to make peeps regret thinking you are a hot piece of ass?

3) Do you really want me to have to analyze your inner psyche with my girlfriends?

Listen, I know there are a lot of reasons you may not want to be my man. It’s cool, I’m not perfect. I can accept that you took me for a test drive and you now know I’m not what your looking for. Heck, sometimes, I’m not feelin’ it too. No harm, no foul. After all, it takes two to, you know…. If you want to be nice, just tell me where you stand. Don’t leave me wondering, “Why hasn’t he called?” and “What did I do wrong?”

To illustrate my point, I will dive into my own slut files and show you how, even in the most fleeting moments, this consideration counts. At two separate birthday parties I met some of my pals’ sexy dude friends. Man #1 and I kissed all night long until the end of the party. He asked for my number, had our mutual friend text me to call him because he lost it, and then texted me saying it was nice to meet me almost a week after the fact and he would be in touch to make plans. Yet still, after all that, he never asked to see me again. Why did he go through that ridiculous amount of trouble and drag our mutual friend into this if he had no intention of seeing me again? I had nearly forgotten all about him when he texted me back in, strung me along, and then pulled the fade out. I feel like twice as rejected now.

Man #2 and I met under similar circumstances; we flirted and made out at a mutual buddy’s b-day party. But when it came time to say goodbye, he didn’t even try to get my number. He said he’d leave seeing me again up to fate and then told me, “That’s how I roll.” OK, so I puked a little in my own mouth upon hearing a line like that, but at least I know I don’t have to give him a second thought. It’s a relief! He wasn’t interested and he let me know upfront. He obviously knows how to play the game. Love ‘em and let them know when you’re gonna leave ‘em. For that, I give him two thumbs up.

So, my male counterparts, I vow to always answer your phone call, if only to tell you I’m not interested. I will not agree to a second date in person and then ignore your plan-making email. I will not make you think you have a chance at screwing me if I only want a free drink. But I need you to give me the same respect. Any boy who watched “G.I. Joe” knows that knowing is half the battle. Don’t leave me to feed on my own insecurities as to why you don’t want to see me again. Rip off that band-aid, tough guy, because the slow peel is worse. Or, in the immortal words of Diana Ross’ “You Keep Me Hangin’ On,” ”Let me get over you, the way you’ve gotten over me. Set me free, why don’t cha babe.” Especially if you’ve already had sexy time with me, you know that I’m not fragile, I can take it. So please, I’m begging you, dump me.

With Love,
Simcha

Hindi movies on TV

Since I have been watching a lot of TV lately (living with the sister in India..sigh), I have watched a good number of hindi movies.

Those old Indian classics, and some not so old classics. Like the good old days of watching movies on TV and no Cds and DVDs. As a kid, we used to harass the so called cable waala to put a good movie on. And then stay up till late (which was 12 am btw), ahhhh so much stress for one movie.

Even though I can just buy a DVD and watch a movie, I just stay up changing channels with my sister, and watch 2-3 movies a day. The Rajesh Khanna's 70's, Amitabh Bachchan and Rish Kapoor 80's and Anil Kapoor's 90's. Brings so many memories back.

I have always been a movie buff, a big hindi movie buff. I was seven years old, and where we lived, there was just one movie theatre in the area (20kms or so radius..). And since movies took ages to come on TV or on tape, watching it in a theatre was a must.

Since I was seven, scoring nicely on a test was very important to my mom. I remember I had a maths test, and I was not very keen on studying. My mom, being very smart, and knowing how I love hindi movies, promised me if I score A+ on the test, she'll take me for the movie I desperately wanted to go to (going to watch a movie was an event in the house).

Well, I never scored an A+ in math before, so she did no think I would manage that, but atleast get an A. And then..it happened..my need, yes yes need, to watch that movie drove me towards an A+..

lol!!! I am one of these. I got to watch my movie, which is btw called Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, and my mom was all smiles.

I dont know why I remembered that story. Things are so different now. All these memories just come back whenever I come home (which is not too often).

I am watching Lamhe right now, it was a long long movie, and ahead for its times (1991 in India), but I really like it.

ok back to the movie now... Anupam Kher just got slapped by Anil Kapoor..lol

Thank you

Thanks to this someone (Names can not be disclosed.. sigh), I am trying to believe.

I have known him for a while, a long while actually, but seriously I never thought he was acually the way he is. Sometimes you just need to listen I think. And I did this time.

So I want to thank him for making me smile, and making me think that everything happens for a reason. For the good to follow, the bad needs to happen first. So thank you!!

Thank you so much :)

Three more days + Song of the day

Just three more days left here in Delhi, and then I go back to my life.

It is going to be a pain to get used to working, and on top of that the back log that is very well gonna kill me. It's scary, but I have to do it.

I slept so much, and ate so much, that going back and cooking will be very sad. But I know, I want to go back, because not doing anything gets to me, and it is slowly getting to me. I need to work, be busy, be occupied. I know I am scared, but I will get in the grove before I know it :)

I will have new roomies (replacements) for three months, and then I have so many events to go to, to plan. Gauri lives in an awesome suite for her internship, and I will visit her. All sounds like a plan, and hopefully should suppress my thinking abilities. Summer, I knew it's gonna be different, it already is so different.

I know I made a to do list sometime back (ahhh my lists) for summer , and I think I can achieve certain points in that now may be.

• The most difficult one has been achieved. I have visited my homeland .. India.
• The Tushar one is doable. So I check that off as well :)..
• Guitar hero.. sigh.. things have changed...
• Bonding with the roomies... well the new ones are friends already. So that's checked :D:D
• DAC's group exercise program is running better. For many reasons. Checked... woohoo

Man.. I am doing good already. Marie is coming soon, so that will be checked too :D:D

(Side Note::::: These 2 weeks did do good. I met someone, I never saw before in a way that I should have.. :).. hopefully that should work out.. hehe)

That someone asked me to believe... I know his lecture will probably not last long unless he keeps on doing it everyday, which he seems to be doing right now.. but at least in this moment.. I believe...

So my song of the day is ....

I love babies

I just met all my nieces today.

I love meeting them. Kids are so beautiful and they just make me happy. Blood calling is strong man. Being an aunt makes you feel old, but I still love it.

I saw my 8 month old niece for the first time (obviously), and she is just the prettiest thing ever.

This picture actually doesnt do justice....

Anyways I love babies.. I just love them :)
