Yeah, these words pretty much sum up my activities for the last three weeks or more. Well you see when you are down with an illness like jaundice you don't have too many things to keep you busy at home all day long. All that you are capable of doing is sleep all day or rent out DVDs or paint your toe nails then wipe it off with a nail paint remover and then re-paint them or scrap random people on orkut or fill up one's blog with utter crap 'cause after all your brain has not been fed and then thank people who actually manage to read it ( of course, with due respect to YOU ) and eat absolutely nothing. No wonder one gets weak.
Anyways its been like a month now and I am running out of things to do that don't require any energy spending coz believe me one month of no fats, no proteins doesn't exactly spell He-man and studies is like the last thing on my mind right now. Although looking at the bright side I am glad I got this nice long vacation which comes to an end with the end of this month. Well deserved, but somehow I'm not happy that I'm getting well now.
Oh I'm going to miss waking up at 10:00 in the morning, watching downloaded old episodes of CSI for breakfast, watching some funny movie for lunch and orkutting all evening and then watching a nice scary movie for dinner and not retiring till 02:00 in the morning... Long live cellphones! I bet you feel jealous of me now but hey don't be. When you get jaundice and are this ill I'll envy you then and hey look at the bright side, there are still millions of people in this city who will never know what its like to have time to do nothing!

Love, friendship, etc.
Translated into our National lingo, that becomes Dil, Dosti, etc. Yeah I know , you probably think what kind of a girl am I to watch such a creepy movie. But before you think so, let me tell you it wasn't my idea. I know there are plenty of other good movies that I'd rather watch than that stupid little movie that claims to depict the life of a teenager in college.
What nonsense! I was a teenager too. In fact from a college where studies are considered as secondary aka Mithibai College. Yeah which is why you will find at least 10% of my college and classmates are celebrities. Right from those pathetic so called talent hunt participants and the hosts to the biggies like Kareena Kapoor. And our vain professors think we would believe them when they say that Kareena was a more sincere student than us. Yeah right.
Anyways I was talking about the movie and honestly there is nothing to say except you are lucky if you gave it a miss. And for those who are still curious take my word "Stay Away." This is like another one of those sermons I issue in public interest.

Opportunity Cost (in Accounting terms)
Imagine this... You have a nice little mobile phone. Its about a year old. The only problem you face is that the sound output isn't satisfactory. You come across an offer that a much better but a bit expensive cellphone was going at a discount. You think if you should give up your current phone for simply failing to stand up to your musical standards or continue with it 'coz hey the phone's always been there by your side. When your 2nd boyfriend dumped you for that hot girl or you dumped your 3rd boyfriend 'coz he couldn't stop leering at your best friend. The phones been your best buddy by connecting you to other people and helping you spread rumors about those guys... Hence after some more pondering and maybe some kinda emotional attachment to your old phone or merely the new phone not being worth giving your dear old phone up for, you finally decide to stick with the old piece. But after a week or so you start to get restless. You think you should have taken the new phone during that discount offer. But now a week later you realize its too late and the offers gone and now u will be stuck with your old phone.
Sounds familiar? Maybe not a cellphone but some other object. Or maybe a person as in you have a boyfriend who doesn't have time for you and then a much smarter guy asks you out but you decline as you don't want to dump your old boyfriend nor cheat on him 'coz you think you still love him and he will find time for you but even after a week's time he doesn't and then u regret not grabbing the opportunity (read: the smarter guy's hand).
Funny isn't it how being attached to something can be a loss-making deal? You knew it was time to move on but you're so afraid of change that you just cant let go. What do you do now? Try to be satisfied with the old cellphone or just go and get the new phone anyways? If you say get the new phone will you but the same piece that was previously at a discount or get some other handset this time?

Not getting any better...
Yeah, I know its been quite a while since I posted anything after contracting the pretty pathetic Cold... Remember my Secret Seminar? Yeah, that was the best decision I ever took in my life Anyways what do you know, September & October 2007 are bad months for me health-wise. Or maybe I've just become a Defective Piece now.
No sooner did I manage to rid myself of the Cold that I came down with something called as Contact Dermatitis. Don't worry its not as dangerous as it sounds. Its just a type of Allergy to something. Except I still cant figure out what I'm allergic to and hence the allergy keeps recurring. Anyhow I've almost recovered from it by now and I guess God was a little jealous that I'm good to go now so He gave me something new to deal with.
Conjunctivitis it is. Yes, Itchy, Reddened, Swollen and Painful eyes. As though someone punched you right in the eye. And if its just your left eye thats affected today, it will be your right eye too tomorrow. See how much your right eye loves your left eye?
Well I'm sure you know of other people too who are suffering from Conjunctivitis these days coz almost 30% of the people I know are. Including a couple of other people at my place. And also a lot of people in not just Mumbai but Hyderabad too, I hear. So I guess mera number bhi aana hi tha.
But I hate being ill all the time. I wish I had taken up Medicine instead of CA or maybe had more Doctors for friends. And who knows, maybe its the Pharmaceutical Companies that make medicines for Conjunctivitis who are spreading the disease which is slowly turning into an epidemic now.
Well God, I hope this is the end of bad-health period for me. Else if I don't do well in my exams you will be responsible. Also you too please pray for me so that I get well soon. Loads of Thanks in advance :-)

Aaaa-chooooo!!... *sniff sniff*
Wasn't it better when you were a kid.? Don't you miss your childhood days after you have grown up? I do too.
To be specific, I miss the times when I was a kid and used to catch a Cold. The maximum consequence would be a running nose. Which can be taken care of by blowing your nose into a kerchief and which is excusable for kids. After all noone can expect you to be all that mannered.
But once you grow up, its not you that matures ( half the human specie is an exception to this) but the Cold matures with you too and knows better how to pull you down. Yes, Ab Sardi ke sath, Khasi, Bukhar, Sar dard, Badan dard, Chakkar sab MUFT! And I haven't even mentioned the "lal-pili" tablets the Doctor gives you. What do you know, sometimes they do work, at least partly.
Besides you know what Abhay Deol and old grandmas say in Hindi "Jo hota hai, achhe ke liye hota hai", or in Bengali, in my case,"Ja kichhu hoy, shob bhalor jonnay hi hoy." Yeah Grandma, I'll give it to you for being right this time. I have a Secret Seminar to attend at the CA Institute and having such a terrible Cold was like the perfect excuse for not having to go to work. Also if your boyfriend or girlfriend, as the case maybe, dumps you at this time and you feel like crying but don't want the whole world to know what a sissy or loser you are, you could cry and still save your ass by telling people the running nose is just because of the cold and the tears, well... because of the headache or the other free benefits of having a Cold as mentioned above.
By the way that Secret Seminar is still a secret, so shhhh.... Don't tell anyone LADIES!!

Disturbia
I have a lot of friends who do not like to watch English movies, (villagers!), and if you are one of those friends then this post doesn't concern you... Come to think of it I guess my entire blog doesn't concern you 'cause after all its all in English! And for the rest of my readers, please don't mind my hyper exaggeration at times. I DON'T hang out all the time with villagers... Anyways what I began to say was that this week I managed to take out time to watch a movie which I failed to download and watch 5 months before its release in India. I'm talking about Disturbia.
I know you may have heard that its not a good movie but, pleeease, tell me you're smart enough than to believe everything you hear... Anyways I gotta say it was quite a good movie. This one is a suspense/thriller/murder mystery. The lead actor, Shia LeBeouf ( remember the teenager in Transformers ), loses his father in a car crash and for some reason blames himself for it. Being provoked by his teacher he punches the old man in the face ( which looked awesome... will make you wish you had the guts or no brains to do so ) and gets sentenced to 3 months of house arrest. Yeah its hard for a 17 yr old to be stuck inside his house all day and yet be productive. So our little hero takes up the time pass of spying on his neighbors from his house. By the end of a week or so he knew which of his neighbors was sleeping with whom and who was the prettiest babe on the block and also, which one of them was a potential psycho killer. Our story moves on as the spying picks up pace and the one under constant vigil finds out who's been stalking him. One hell of a creepy fellow he is! Anyways the best part is the shocking climax which will keep you at the edge of your seat.
My rating: ***1/2 stars.
Go watch this one on the big screen instead of whiling away your time in from of your PC, or worse, the stupid TV.

Poky Umbrellas
I know a very tiny portion of the 6,60,22,24,175 World Population is going to empathize with me here... Alright maybe not the World Population but at least 90% of India's Population is going to detest me now... Like I care.. Hmf! You gotta be at least 5 feet 8 inches tall to understand what I am talking about i.e. how dangerous umbrellas are. Imagine yourself walking down the road on a drizzling morning, pretty much, enjoying the weather, the feel of those tiny droplets of water kissing your cheeks... and suddenly you get poked in your eye and you find yourself going blind in one eye and oh, did i forget to mention how painful it is?... By the time you recover from the pain in your eye you realize it was because some 5 feet 3 inches short Female (or man) cannot see someone taller and bigger than themselves walking by, its either already too late to go after the person who hurt you and pound them into the ground and even if you manage to catch hold of the Chintu or Chinti they are not even Sorry because its raining and its not their fault that they are less blessed by God... And the inventor of The Umbrella lies peacefully in his grave. That would be a certain William C. Carter. $@!^**% !!!
I wish I were the President or something of this country. I would have passed some law to ensure that such less-blessed people are not allowed to carry Umbrellas. Probably levy high taxes on the umbrellas so that prices go high and people cannot afford it and the rich who can afford it, anyways, travel in cars. So they wont hurt you, don't worry. This is where studying Income tax and being a to be CA pays off... Alas! I am not the President nor the Finance Minister. So for the time being all you short pests can relax. Just keep your @$^%*#$ umbrellas out of my way or i will KILL you if i have to and all you nice innocent 5 feet 8 inchers take care of your eyes and your head and stay at least a meter away from anything that is apparently floating at your eye-level, no matter how pretty it looks. After all looks can be deceptive.

The Blunder of a Boss
Oh! what I meant to say is that his being a Boss is a big blunder in itself by the one who made him the so-called "Boss". So have you ever felt like you were working for a stupid little man? Well I go through this wonderful feeling everyday. And amongst all other things, what happened today, has to be one of his classics. The man sends me a Laptop to carry all the way home and back tomorrow to his most important client's ( Thomas Cook's ) office but guess what? guess what? guess what? ...My laptop wont work tomorrow BECAUSE HE DIDN'T SEND THE POWER CORD. Genius, isn't he? Thats what makes me wonder how on earth could he be made MY Boss and now you wonder why I am still sticking with the job? Because there's no real workload for me UNLIKE my Boss thinks.
Moral of the story: Never show your brilliance to your Boss if you wanna have a Stress-free Life.

The Borivli wali in a Virar Local...
Have you ever been in that situation? Ever caught a Virar Fast at peak hours when u wanted to go to Borivali or caught a Virar Fast Local bound to Churchgate from Borivali at peak hours? Neither have I but I see others doing this everyday. I don't know about the Gents compartments but definitely in the Ladies Compartment Borivali walas are treated like criminals. Its like one of those classic cat fights that I hear everyday and thank Sony Ericsson for W Series... Honestly if it were up to me then I would excuse you (the Borivali wali/wala) for accidentally taking the train but you should never in your right mind do such a "crime" (according to the other ladies). I do get their point because you have Borivali Locals every 3 minutes but they have Virar Locals every 15 minutes. Why would you want to crowd an already crowded train further? You may not know but sometimes while you get into the train there are others who wanted to go to Virar but couldn't find place to get in and were too afraid to travel hanging outside the train. It just doesn't make sense, does it? I mean come on what difference does the extra 10 minutes between Andheri and Borivali make to you? You couldn't die if you spend an extra 10 minutes in the Borivali train but you could die if you try to save those 10 minutes.
So next time try to be smart and don't let it slip out that you want to get off at Borivali coz they will take pleasure in harassing you. Hope they wont throw you out of the running train. Good luck!

Oh what a beginning!
I know! I know! I am just a little late to start a blog now when people have actually started growing out of it. But then better late than never, right?After all we all deserve a platform to let the world know how stupid we are. Although it should be left to the people to figure that out on their own... Besides years back i had promised an old friend that I would create a blog, except that day never came... until today! I guess i needed a place to vent out all my thoughts, feelings, stupid ideas, frustration, gloominess... whatever given that i dont have time to talk to real people.
Being my first blog i didn't know what to write about... i mean there isn't much to me and it would be too early to talk about all the crazy thoughts that i am capable of coming up with. So to begin with I'll tell u what i have been up to today till this hour. Honestly i wish i were at home sleeping peacefully right now instead of staring at this monitor at work. I have been up since 5am you see... *Yawn!* ...and not to mention the couple of times i dozed off in my early morning lecture. Yeah drinking water doesn't help. And i just hate my tight schedule of 7 days a week. Feels like my social life got extinct. and then there are people who marvel at how i manage to stay alive and then there are those who just don't understand that, yes, i m busier than the loafing ministers. Sometimes i wish there were 36 hours in a day... too long? Alright. Can I at least have 30??!...Thankfully my boss isn't here and I am too bored to work after the last few days of over-exerting myself for peanuts.
And unless the show-doll in my office tells my boss i have been blogging instead of working and i get fired don't expect another post too soon. And if u managed to reach till the end of this post do let me know if you would like to hear more from me or is blogging lame?
