GRE phobia

Yeah yeah....GRE is being a phobia for me...i cant help run away from it...i have lots of excuses to make..i am tired of a whole day work, i need to help my aunt in the kitchen...GRE is not the only thing that the graduate school will be evaluating me on...and on and on...However,now since i am supposed to make a presentation on GRE tomorrow,i realize that i m not the only one who is trying so hard..there are many and many more...so,i will buck up and start preparing for the haunting test.....Wish me luck!!!

Is this what the future holds?



This is a clipping taken from The Himalayan Times, 13th of May 2008, Tuesday.No matter how much we try to change the world, we cannot change it unless these young minds are nurtured with love. They have also learned to protest for every thing thats dissatisfying to them. Is this the way our country will be running?

Fermenting Flowers


"Fermenting Flowers" is the name of the book of poems of a very dear friend of mine Chirag Bangdel. As he calls it, its a small chapbook...but i must tell you, this small chapbook has some wonderful poems and one needs a heart to understand what he is trying to convey through those poems. I had a delightful reading experience and there are many poems in this book that i have come to love, but one of my personal favorites is the poem called Uphill.

The Uphill tires me
You walk fast
and ahead
Strange,
I always thought
that i'd lead you.

You reach to the top
You laugh at me
and my weakness
I am a bad walker

Yet,
you come running back to my arms
laugh at me,still
and push me from behind
all the way to the top.

See?
I am supposed to lead.

Its a lovely collection of short poems and i would suggest all to have a copy of it and enjoy engrossing yourself in the reading!!!

Summer Time.....LazyTime

The days have started getting longer, and for no good...I feel so lazy friends. There is so much to do but every muscle in my body disagrees to work in harmony.When my mind wants to work, my heart doesnt and when the heart gets geared up,my head says, NO PLEASE GIVE ME SOME BREAK...well well...i keep listening to every part, and at the end of the day i have done nothing..Thanks to facebook...most of the times i spend my time with the different applications, the recent one being the twirl text..i havent accomplished much yet,but my word power has for sure increased in one single day..isnt it amazing??so,i cant say i havent accomplished anything throughout the day...can i???
I know, i know, i am not supposed to use facebook while in office but fellas,i need some entertainment...i just hope my boss doesnt read this blog of mine,or i might be fired...lol!!!Anyway folks,i am now feeling bored blogging as well..so i will now search for another source of entertainment for myself..till then,beat the heat and the bland environment,and WORK!!!

Condolence

A friend of mine called me from Birgunj to inform me of his demise. I did not know him in person but i knew him as the younger brother of my mentor. He was a great photographer. He met a train accident while he was on his way to Delhi for his friend's marriage. He and his friend lost balance on the tracks and an ill-fated train passed over them. I cant even imagine the situation.I feel so sorry for him and for the entire family. S is one person I simply admire and seeing him in so much agony breaks my heart apart. I pray to god for his soul to rest in peace and provide strength to the whole family.

Dream On...

I again go back to Dreaming..It feels wonderful to explore a world which might be beyond my reach but which i have liberty to think of..and to dream of...People say just dreaming is not enough, you need to work towards fulfilling them. But i say Dreaming is Believing and if they are intended to get fulfilled, they will get fulfilled even if you don't try.Destiny make things happen and if my dreams are destined to be realized,they will be realized without me making any conscious effort.If i start chasing my dreams to get them fulfilled,i believe they will no more be my dreams...they will become my aim in life and i don't want to trade my dreams for anything.

The only thing that scares me is that i have been losing everything that is close to my heart.I just pray that my dreams are preserved.What can i do to save them?Can i lock them in a box and hide the box in sand?Or can i just let them be there because i have heard that if we stick on something too hard,it will make every possible effort to get away from us.I am confused...I am scared...I am apprehensive...I cherish my dreams so much.Is there any way i can preserve them and save them?I need a solution!!Waiting for one...
