U doubt yourself, a few understand

This ain't my idea at all. Seen this copy paste of testimonials up on a friends blog and thus decided not a bad idea at all. If there's something that's made you smile, grab it right away...Don't wait any longer.
Moreover, logged on orkut like after  4 long years. Sat and read every testimonial out here. Made me feel good. I ain't all that bad;-(heheheh..
In the fast rush of our lives, hearing something good about ourselves is not so easy.You long to hear people acknowledge you or whatever...These might have been written by friends I not longer might be in touch with, but yes once upon a time, they meant the world for me..They were a part of me...Thank you for making life joyful.
 Reading up these pieces, just made me feel better. You long to hear...But you fail to...
Yeah....I am unique..I am Me!

hey guys and girls...........wht 2 say about arlene, she is a very sweet person with a sweet heart and great style in dressing and in body language and voice quality and great sense of humour and a great friend(but she is already andrea's best frnd) so cant make her one now.............but she is still my sweet sis and naughty frnd and I thank god for giving me a friend like arlene(god bless this girl and keep her happy)

Abey mere chuzze, my cutie pie its been a long time and i love being the guy to point out the elephant in the room. cause i have a Phd in it and believe me there aint any other situation i would love doing it in as much as it is in baby inferior's case. she may be small but she's got a heart of a 70 foot giant,
she's got tiny bunny teeth but they help here dig deep into your heart
she's one of the strongest people i know and
baby there aint anybody on the face of the planet who handled loss with the strength and courage youve shown.
she smiles when she's sad so she can keep you happy, she shreinks when she's happy so she can make you cry...(choir practice)
she's got a wicked sense of humor and a kickass attitude and i believe will be the next best spokesperson for the mohawk after me.
so this one's for the baby who fought and shone and continues to fight and make us proud
thanks for inspiring us all'
remember me
Aaron

At last I'm writing u a Testimonial
ARLENE, the girl I met in Xaviers....I didnt know then that she would be one of my closest frnd.

Arlene is CHARMING, BEAUTIFUL & a God-fearing person. Arlene's a WONDERFUL person to be with. She's naughty..witty..stubborn & Humorous. Though small by height (I mean to say TINY...hehe), she's a BIG caring, loving heart.

For me, Arlene has been a source of inspiration & motivation. I admire her confidence & positive attitude towards life.

All I wanna say is Arlene be as UR, spreading happiness & joy around. I wish God grants U Success in all UR endeavours...Keep in touch :*) bye

Shrewd, Proud, Hot-tempered...
these r characteristics dat describe Arlene NOT...
Arlene... met her in r syjc... i was in Sci, she was in arts... therefore hw we met even i dont kno....... neway jab we met, we hit it along very nicely... we never used to meet much but still were in contact thanks to the 2 biggest inventions of r tyms- the Cell Phone n the internet Viz. Orkut actually... Arlene is a very sweet girl... n has brains too...wat wid she being a bmm nw... ;-) she has an answer 4 mostly everythn dats not related to her... wat stumps her r questions abt her own lyf... which is wen i'm available... bt its not just one way traffic... she is a really good listener... wil listen to ur probs even though they're never endin... & then she gives really good advice... i really respect her 4 dat...
we're not in the same coll nw... both of us miss r ol' tyms n frnds... but still lyf goes on...
Arlene, never change... i'll not too... stay well n remember dat i'm always there...
Adios... Runcu!!!

Arlene is a person, who has a pure heart a person who is trustful, and also faithful, a person who has style, yet warmth in her smile a person who is funny, and cute like a bunny not just a person who is good at games, nither the one who who has only a nice name, nor the one who has fame not a person who has fashion, nither the one who plays with your emotions but rather someone who understands it, respects it, not a person who is too good a writer or a reader, but a person who is capable of being a leader a person who can gudie you, through your life. IS a true friend of mine the one and only ARLENE....................

The Key to Friendship..
Is Not In The Hand You Hold,
But How You Hold The Hand.

It's Not In The Tears You Dry,
But All The Reasons Why.

It's Not How You Make A Person Smile
But Whether Or Not It's WorthWhile.

It's Not In The Conversation,
But In The Way You Listen.


It's Not In The Laughter,
But What Comes Before And Everything After.

The Key To Friendship..
Is Not In Two People Relating,
But In Two Hearts Communicating.

Thank You For Being That Very Special Friend,
Who Understands The Key To Friendship,
And How To Unlock Everything Within.

Lucky to have a FRIEND like U. ELVIRA..........

Arlene! Ever wondered wt her name meant? The name has a Celtic origin which means, pledge or promise.Rare n unique aint it?
For a 17 year old she's way too mature for her age.Very possessive bout me she's forever advising me on stuff that i shud be away from.Now that she's in college,she's learnt to be rational and level headed as well as open minded.

Here's a poem for my lil sis who's hugs and kisses always fill me with warmth and love.

Keep your head up little girl,
Let the sun shine on your chubby cheeks.
Let the wind blow through your hair.
Keep your eyes open so you never miss life.
Hold life in your litle hands.
Smell the flowers with your cute button nose.
Let your spirit soar like the angel that you are.
Dont make the same mistakes as those before you.
Dont ever let anyone get you down.
Little sister as you grow older,
and become more aware of the wrong in the world
I hope you only choose the right, because
Little sister, I LOVE YOU!

God must have known there would be
times we'd need a word of cheer,
Someone to praise a triumph
or brush away a tear.

He must have known we'd need to share
the joy of little things
In order to appreciate
the happiness life brings.

I think He knew our troubled hearts
would sometimes throb with pain,
At trials and misfortunes,
or goals we can't attain.

He knew we'd need the comfort
of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
to make a fresh, new start.

He knew we'd need companionship
unselfish.... lasting.... true,
And so God answered
the heart's great need
with Cherished Friends.... like you!!

You will always be cherished in my heart.

Social networking v/s personal networks

“Happy birthday daddy!, “At the hawaian shack, alive and kicking” or “feeling too low and down”

Most of us know what the above three sentences indicate. We also know what they look like.Proabably, status updates put up popular networking sites like Facebook or my space or the now famous Twitter tweets, popularly called “Tweeting”.

Initially it was just the computer, then came the internet, and now its facebook. Apart from food, clothing and shelter, 2011 would rate Facebook as one human need. We all know how anxious we get to check our wallposts or our status comments. If not ours, then someone else’s. Cell phones already top the list, but “FB” is not far away. It is not surprising to know the amount of people who are a part of social networking sites from different age groups. Starting from as young as 10 yrs old to as old as 80 yrs.

Being a part of these is no harm, but getting too addicted and making it a part of you certainly is. Social networking is not at all a bad thing. You build a network of people and you grow the network. Networking thus help, be it professional or personal life. What could be better, than getting in touch with long lost friends, or being in constant touch with your loved ones and letting them know about your where about or also coming across like minded people who share similar tastes and interests like yours. The most popular sites likes facebook, twitter, my space, and also google+, that has been recently launched,are sites that we love and associate with because they do help us in some way or the other, or also serve as a means of entertainment. They keep us connected with the outgoing world.

Too much of anything in life is not good. Too much salt leaves the food tasteless. The same applies to social networking. Ask yourself when was the last time you picked up your phone and wished your loved one a happy birthday, or had a long chat with your mum or dad about something eventful in your life.

We all do it on something called as “Wallposts”, isn’t it? Not bad. But certainly the same isn’t too great, either. The world has turned digital and personal relationships also seem to be virtual now. You share your day, your thoughts with one another via status updates, or photo sharing. Social networking sites were made with the aim of keeping in touch with your loved ones and meeting people. They aren’t about living your world online and loosing out on relationships that hold so dear to you. Why let something of the least value to you, take over other things that are more precious to you. This is what an overdose of facebook does to you. We find ourselves so engrossed in things that must be of the least importance and at times totally senseless. Checking out some one else’s profile, digging deep to find some gossip in those wallposts, spending time more than required on sending out friend request like the “I want to make Franship with you” types and the like.

What good does all of this do to us? Nothing in this world is ever wrong till exercised in their limits. Like what excess of alcohol does to us.

It’s not only the youth of today who surf these sites. We see mummas, dadas, and also grandparents on these popular sites. It gives immense joy to stay connected with people over seven seas, living long distance away. You share your world with them and update them, and vice versa. However, have you ever given a thought to the ones who you meet everyday and fail to have a decent face to face conversation with? You blog, you scrap, you comment, you tweet, and much more. Everything seems so digital and virtual. Also talking about the number of people we randomly add on to our friends list. The list amuses me. Do we ever acknowledge their presence while we meet them around? Ever smiled and stopped to share some friendly greetings with them? I doubt. None of us do. There must be 500 people on our personal list and sadly we don’t care about them when they just pass us by. What kind of a social relationship are we building upon? Similarly, how often have we allowed such sites to take control over our daily lives, making us ignore and give a blind eye to things that are more important than these?

Social networking sites have their pros and cons. If they make the world small and keep us connected with the rest, they also create barriers. If they help us make new friends beyond boundaries, they also make us take for granted our neighbors. Relationships are taken for granted and things online seem to be a game played.

Lets make these “a part of our world” and not “the world” for us.

In 1998, Kraut et al. showed a correlation between Internet use and declines in social relationships and isolation.Greater use of the Internet was also associated with small, but statistically significant declines in social involvement as measured by communication with the family and the size of people’s local social networks and with increases in loneliness, a psychological state associated with social involvement.

Pocket full of adventures


The Much awaited and planned trip that my best friend Andrea and me planned finally materialized this Novmeber.Its been two long years since the two of us have been talking about going to Mangalore and spending a while there.
Mangalore has always been a beautiful heavenly paradise for me. Always loved going there when I was a little child, and staying there for at least a month. My grandparents live there and few of my relatives. Used to cry to come back to Mumbai. That place was Peaceful and so heavenly.Hwever, with time my liking towards heaven changed into hell and I detested going there for personal reasons. And it was almost four long years that I hadn’t been there, though my folks still continued paying visits there.
And then it was Andy who used to have a lot of fun there and I kept hearing of all of that and the way she described it was something even I was eagerly waiting to experience. Both of us used to go for our regular long walks and discuss, plan this trip and kept laughing after every conversation, cuz nothing was sure and felt we were just building castles in the air.
And then…I was done with the SEM V board exams this October and came there my vacation time, but for my Andy baby it was a month of study holiday and her Boards began real late. And by now…we kind of lost hopes that this trip would come true, but still kept talking of it. And finally. Her exams began when my college re-opened, and we decided we’ll take it ahead. And When she was studying hard for her papers, I was busy goggling trains, time schedules that would lead us to our destination. I know how much I disturbed her:L Finally we kept a date in mind and said come what may, we’ go. None, none believed us. Not my folks, nor hers. All were of the opinion that we’ve been telling them about going and never ever went. And thus we kept our fingers crossed and hoped that the ticket waiting list falls down and we get a seat and just get away. And till the end time, we dint discuss our plans with any one…Kept it to ourselves. What if it turned Kaput?
Finally came the much awaited day, but still our tickets were NOT confirmed, and we called each other the same Morning and asked ‘What should we do’? And then both decided, wteva, a seat dsnt matter much, wel crawl, sit on the door, and what not, but still go..Hehehe.And our people at home, just wondered what craze was this. And we were so very excited about the same thought.Haha..The NO CONFIRMED SEAT.
And we left like around 2-3 hours early than the train timing..HAha…and there began the Pocket full of Adventures..
We had to board our train from Kurla terminus. Two little ones..Hehehe...With two big bags..OMG...Just too much u c…So we waited at the ladies compt and there came a train..Damn..It was crowded, and was impossible to get in (haha…Sorry. but we dint even try getting in)…Guess why. Cause next to that there was an empty compartment that both of us shortys had noticed..lolz.hahaha….and no. it wasn’t the luggage…It was the Handicap compartment.Hahaha….And nothing could Stop us from entering that. Happily we entered and stood and noticed people around. None looked like physically challenged to us. And there was ample place around and we said lets go and sit. So much place you see…And we did that and smiled around till an old moron chucked us out at Andheri..:;sob sob: And we showed as if v weren’t aware that it was an Handicap compartment, and smiled and walked out.Damn..Hahahaa…And took the crowded ladies. Quick, wasn’t that? a we managed to enter.
Finally when we reached the terminus, we hoped, crossed our fingers that our seats were confirmed. And yeah..One was. Which meant we just had one seat and would have to adjust.Heheh…We were happy. And we sat there on that station. Reached two hours early. People around must have thought of us as sum run away Juvenilles...hehe.And finally came our Mastyaghanda and wHooo….we kept talking of all the past planned talks sitting in front of that train.Didnt want to enter so soon and so waited out. Got in after some time and taught we would bribe the TC and get a ticket later. Got our seats and watched around. And time after, the train left in motion and we just could believe the fact we were actually going to Mangalore and the Plan had worked. just kept talking of it. And sad to know people around us were all so snobbish.shhesh..Thought we would strike conversations with the ones around us and make it a nice fun filled journey. But Alas. Those around us were…Damn...We smiled at so many and none did that to us. Andy and me assumed that there was something wrong with us at that point. May be we looked like some clowns and those around dint want to smile at the clowns. And we two enjoyed our journey, not bored at all. Adjusted our asses on that one seat, and that salla TC dint give us a seat.Ya we dint show him anything that we had inside//..I meant CASh..Hahah
But all seemed so much fun, we dint crib about anything..
Reached Mangalore at early dawn, an hr earlier than the time supposed to reach. And then realized the ones we were trying to get to weren’t receiving our calls. Ya they were sleeping with the alarm scheduled to ring much later. And we got outta the train, and giggled around and smiled at few people. Darkness engulfed the place and a cool breeze swept thru my skin. Wow…Haha.we really dint knows what to do and jus walked to and fro.We dint know the way home. ways...we just decided to take a Rick and told him sum shit and he nodded and then kept calling home till some1 finally did attend our call.Ahhh…And the place was jus 10 minute distance from station and then we stopped and got ouuta the rick that Anna charged us 60 bucks and we were like WTF…And later we were made aware that the fare to that place from station was just 15bucks..Advernterous…Aint it?
Now we were finally in Mangalore, finally in the rite place and every1 around us was merry to have us.Ya at least they looked fine..Hahaha…
Enjoyed the week hanging out, visiting places, and travellling all by our selves like sum foreigners who weren’t aware of the Language and people looked at us like as if we were sum Anti-social elements .Took Andy to my side. I stay in typical rural side. Its just so beautiful.Open huge cottages, all around green pastures and animal grazing, Plantations, kacha roads, hilly and streams gushing….Just so heavenly. Showed her my side, my folks…Just stayed there for a day and two and cam back to the city.
I pity those Firangis who reside in our country. We managed to reach right destinations, talking in broken English for people to understand.Couldnt use our vocals there. Andy I learnt was a good planner and she planned the week well.
Just used to b back home to rest a while in the nite, the day spent in sight seeing..Haha…
Mind you, I’ve been to Mangalore loads time.
Finally the day arrived when we realized that our trip has come to an end, and it time to get back to Mumbai. But obvious, we both dint want to go back. And it was in the eveing, we realized that our tickets have been booked but not confirmed and more than that…hahah…They weren’t in our hand..Lolz.And that was Manglore.though developed still not like Mumbai. Thus began our hunt for a cyber café and finally when we got one, and checked our tickets we were shocked when we realized that our waiting list was much much more than what it was when we came to manglore.Now it was certain that None of the tickets would be confirmed: pewww:: The cyber proved crap as we just couldn’t get our tickets printed and started hunting for some other place and finally got the thing done. a…..Looked at that ticket and jus giggled….Hahaha..Back to Bombay w/o a seat..Damn…and that was our last nit ether in manglore.And Andy’s cousins made sure we had the best of fun that nite.And we went roaming and zooming in their vehicles with music blasting in and reached sum haunted premises. The drive was soo much fun ,zig- zag roads, steep hills, cliffs that you feared….wow….I just loved it all.
Hmmm…Just like All good things have to come to and, was this Joy ride as well as our trip, and came the day where we sat packed our luggage and eve around 30-50 coconuts to carry back home.Souveneirs for Mumbai..hahaha.Yeah yeah for the two of us…hahaha..dont ask how we managed it, but we did…Sad faces, hopes to be back there, have the same fun or more fun, just me and Andy again…random thoughts hit my head…I had enjoyed each day there…Much more than what I would with my own folks…
Anyways…..The best part of this entire trip was our Journey back to Mumbai. No seats confirmed, we got into the Ladies general compartment..Hahaha..Me on a 3rd seat with my love on a 4th seat..Yaya..Shes the one who always compromises, adjusts..Damn me…And wow…..the Journey was fun. Trust me….we had a hell of a time. We just did not crib a single time, it was so uncomfortable, with stinky, stupid, uncouth, idiotic, uncivilized morons, travelers all around. Sitting below u, above you, on you, just everywhere. We just laughed and giggled and our comments just added to it. We witnessed dirty fights, arguments, heard slang spoken by ladies that we very heard even in Mumabi.There were firangis in our general compt and we seen them been the center of attraction, source of amusement for so many. And pathetic and disgusting eyes of men rolling all over those two cuties and dirty remarks being passed when they got out at few stations. Felt like just digging into their eye balls and handing it to them…The journey was not all that we expected it to be, it just turned to be whatever we did not. Its how you enjoy, how you see things….And we took this in good spirits..…And I will never regret comin back In that ladies overfilled general compartment.
And yeah…We reached Mumbai, back home 5 hours late than the expected arrival time…
Our bag full of adventures ended too, Smile, think, giggle when I think of that one week in manGloore…cheers

Variety is the spice of life

Imagine!!!Imagine living in a world where each one you meet is a person who could be termed as a “Good person”, a “Good Human”…All around you, you come across the best beings, with no flaws in them, no limitations, nothing. They are the ideal people you meet and you can just see no bad qualities in them. There is nothing to grumble about them, nothing that turns you off about them…You feel they the best and the bestest they can ever be. Each and every move of theirs is a WOW..Their actions, deeds, and thoughts…All Perfect. Perfect to the "T"….Imagine….
No flirts, no snobs, no egoistic people…No hurts. No worries. No setbacks.

Nothing. everything seems so Ideal in that world...You could be the Imperfect one, but No…around you are all those who make your universe seem perfect..Ideal...They don’t back stab  they don’t bitch. They don’t argue, they don’t speak slander…They are Good…Just Good….Hmmm……U talk about them, they don’t say anything. They don’t even hurt you.Damn!!! You living in a world, where you just smile and each day brings you more smiles. No tears, no bad experiences. After all Its us who make Experiences. Make Memories. Good or Bad..We make them all.But since this imaginary world consists of all Goody good people…No grey shade at all. Its Juts good!
Too much goodnesss...n too much of everything......
Sat and ponderd upon my thoughts a day a while n realized ...Life would be bland...No spice...Nothing.....Asked my self would I want to live in such a world????
I wouldn’t…Nope…TOO much of everything is not good.Too much of goodness in and around you is too much to take. It would b vacuum feel life would be colorless.Shades of Black n White...Monotony.I would be sitting and thinking NOTHING. My mind would be idle…Life would be nothing but just a calendar of events that I guess one would not even bother remembering.  Life in ONE expression…Good and Perfect..No varied expressions at all. Everything would happen according to what we expected.No twists and no turns.Just walk and walk the straight long path. Many a times, when you come across these few people in life, who keep talking so much good about you or say each you up on a pedestal by just praising you more and more. It kinda feels very weird, as you wonder is it genuine or no??It kills even the little genuineness you have in yourself. Would there be anything as LEARNING experience. Nothing to contemplate upon.All praises,and rosy words..

Learnt it....wen I crib about the turmoils and difficulties of my life and things that put me down, leave me in tears and hurt me so bad....The worst the best for me.Each day one I look back to the times I fell, I smile...My falls made me strong and  peoples passing remark and rude comments opend my eye....

Never again to say..I wanna live in a world full of roses..A thorn made me strong..and what I am...I cuz of that little thorn that pricked me hard...


Nobody's life is filled with perfect little moments. And if it were, they wouldn't be perfect little moments. They would just be normal. How would you ever know happiness if you never experience downs?”
