Ah! How much I miss my old self despite all its shortcomings of pristine, unfettered naiveté with its ingenuous trademark that saw the world in rose coloured glasses. I had loved my life more than any worldly thing and nothing else mattered to me more than myself, the grandiloquent self-love you might proclaim I possessed despite its mundane flaws bequeathed in me a sense of calm and joy that surpassed any other worldly happiness. I was blissfully ignorant of feeling for other humans around me and walked as if nobody else mattered except my own self. Selfishness, thou shall reckon it to be, but now I know it’s the path of illumination to find one’s Holy Grail. Oh yes, to each her own! (Microsoft word says there is a grammatical error in this line ..something to do with reflexive pronoun...Bah!!To hell with grammar and to even greater hell’s contorted passage may be subjected Microsoft).

A tender rawness and earthy landscape which is brutal at the same time mystifying seemed to encompass me. There is this placid aura surrounding me that is at once alluring to my senses.A tropical bird which is the colour of a turquoise blue and the size of an eagle with a prominent aquiline beak was flapping its wings noisily nearby.I seem to be the lone sixth-sense being walking the rugged rocks and sands.I was plagued by millions of questions as i took to walking to find my way across..&lt;br /&gt;Why was i here...What am i doing?? Was this where everybody landed or am i here because of the all the deeds i had committed in my lifetime.Wandering around this place gives me a deja vu..or is it just a bizarre play of mind.Am unable to think properly..thoughts come n go...but the feeling these evanescent thoughts&lt;br /&gt;leave seem to stay with me for an eternity...&lt;br /&gt;BAMM!! I landed on my bedroom floor..i woke up massaging my head,slowly coming out of the drowsy reverie and senses creeping back in..goshh...it was all in my head was it??!!..what was that..a dream or a nightmare..not a dream because something about it&lt;br /&gt;seemed to tantalize my soul like when your on a rollercoaster ride..you can never be sure whether you liked or dreaded at the end of it..only thing was it was contrary to the pace of a rollercoaster..it moved like an aeon passing every step i took each bestowing me with hundreds of centuries worth wisdom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot describe it as being beautiful or ugly..&lt;br /&gt;Rather i cud say it was like a subtle poignant poem on the veracity about something called life:)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30487637-3150639129822465142?l=shamcharisma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamcharisma.blogspot.com/feeds/3150639129822465142/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30487637&amp;postID=3150639129822465142' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30487637/posts/default/3150639129822465142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30487637/posts/default/3150639129822465142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamcharisma.blogspot.com/2008/07/nightmare-or-dream.html' title='Nightmare or a dream?'/><author><name>shameem</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18009596118213481069</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487637.post-4819843564839409029</id><published>2007-06-04T01:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-04T06:58:55.929-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Will intelligence beat beauty?</title><content type='html'>why is it that every human puts the beauty of physical appearance on an exalted pedestal over the true character of the person?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This illusive question has been eluding my perception from a long time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The exquisite outward appearance outstrips the inner purity and honesty quite intangibly in this mundane world.From the ages of begone era beauty has been deified and worshipped by even erudite and ancient folks.Beautiful women have always been the occupants of the throne in the altars of eminent greatness and also reigned the hearts of millions of men from time immemorial.The ethereal attraction of beauty has held people enchanted in its clasp and wars have been fought and men have died for the sake of some imbecile beauty.But why isnt that no war yet been fought for the one who was ugly yet intelligent?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My inept gleaning of the truth has lead only to the painful acceptance of the inevitable answer in my 20 year existence in this terraqueous orb:( &lt;br /&gt;I am not innately beautiful...on the contarary am appallingly plain....yet i love the way i am.

So am on a retrospection mode...analyzing SHAMEEM THEN and SHAMEEM NOW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THEN and NOW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) My first impressions then were the worst impressions but these days my second and third impressions are also turning out to be shoddier :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Once one of my friends told me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"Shameem, u have such a wild and wicked imagination, you could write a novel…Sigh!!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;(Now don’t go asking me to start&lt;/span&gt; writing a novel in the comment section...i know many people are awaiting my book already )…it was then…now I cant even write a decent post... my forlorn imagination has gone astray and has been replaced by a hapless sensibility which prevents me from making brazen statements about people and things anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) I once told my teacher&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;“You had two whole hours today, mam….but u dint take a thing”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;But now I have learnt to keep my big-fat mouth shut for good…I don’t make such abnormally inconceivable raw statements even if they are true :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) The above statement might lead you to feel this lioness has been tamed and she has turned into a poltroon…not that some people haven’t already suggested it...to all those people I wish to tell…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;“Shameem tamed…sheesh…u wish!!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Well, why am I behaving like this you might ask…blame it on the slow creeping of sensibility into my head :( is my answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) When I was 17 years old my doctor once told&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;“the problem with shameem is intellectually she is like that of a 21 year old, but emotionally she is like a 12 year old”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Maybe this was the reason I was behaving weirdly with people some time ago and clearly lacking to understand emotions but no more...people who are conspiring against me and trying to collect points against me, don’t jump on this one coz it exists no more and no more I shall say here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Life seemed to be a never-ending nightmare but now I wish it never ends…even if I have to do with the nightmares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:&lt;br /&gt;First of all thanks to that teacher of mine who inculcated discipline in me. If it hadn’t been for her I would have been a ruthless brat for life ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, I thank that dearest friend of mine who called me the tamed lioness…if it hadn’t been for her support and encouragement I would not have gotten tamed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And lastly my heartfelt thanks to all those people who have helped make me the metamorphosis from an ugly, ruthless brat to a beautiful and submissive girl and made even my nightmares look positively cute and charming :P&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30487637-6999929577684199738?l=shamcharisma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamcharisma.blogspot.com/feeds/6999929577684199738/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30487637&amp;postID=6999929577684199738' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30487637/posts/default/6999929577684199738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30487637/posts/default/6999929577684199738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamcharisma.blogspot.com/2007/02/shameem-on-retrospective-note.html' title='Shameem on a retrospective note'/><author><name>shameem</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18009596118213481069</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487637.post-119811501724341289</id><published>2007-01-26T02:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-26T02:59:06.566-08:00</updated><title type='text'>An ode to the CLEOPATRA</title><content type='html'>She walks with her head held high…&lt;br /&gt;And an indifferent look that holds no one in doubt that&lt;br /&gt;She is born to rule…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her contortion of mouth into the shape of triangularia&lt;br /&gt;Makes one feel she is suffering from spasmophilia&lt;br /&gt;Her violent jerks of the head and her ‘wat bout uuuhhh’&lt;br /&gt;Makes the masculine species of the humankind go ooooohh….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This wiry-haired beauty …oops… wry-eyed beauty&lt;br /&gt;Is not just an enigmatic beauty but also an intellectual beauty&lt;br /&gt;Who else in this whole world will think of calling out names&lt;br /&gt;After asking to answer for roll number&lt;br /&gt;When she says respond to roll-call&lt;br /&gt;Many dogs respond with their cat-call.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her one stare or even glare can make Caesar die again&lt;br /&gt;And many more have died and are dying everyday&lt;br /&gt;Maybe she is born to kill&lt;br /&gt;And now u understand why she is born to rule...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30487637-119811501724341289?l=shamcharisma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamcharisma.blogspot.com/feeds/119811501724341289/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30487637&amp;postID=119811501724341289' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30487637/posts/default/119811501724341289'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30487637/posts/default/119811501724341289'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamcharisma.blogspot.com/2007/01/ode-to-cleopatra.html' title='An ode to the CLEOPATRA'/><author><name>shameem</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18009596118213481069</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487637.post-116618311217199102</id><published>2006-12-15T03:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-16T07:04:02.683-08:00</updated><title type='text'>gangster - a sensuous story</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4150/3271/1600/522277/untitled.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4150/3271/320/192148/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s the most sagacious saga sans the typical bollywood-masala-type sacramental vows..the story mostly shot in untrodden narrow alleys of seoul is a heart breaking tale of a woman(simran) caught in the warp of circumstances. It’s a nerve-racking and emotion shattering high-pitched drama .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three main characters have pivotal role to play in the movie but I think the movie goes out to the lead lady (kangana ranaut).the heart endearing part of this movie is it that does not deal with the problems of upper strata and wealthy people of our society(like what karan johar has taken to .. depicting exuberance and extravagance in his ultra-grandiose-and-lacking-soul movies)on the contrary the story takes out from the hearth-home of those people deprived of love and paisa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the movie raises a whole gamut of emotions when it starts with a flashback(of course the whole story is in flashback mode..consisting of three flashbacks..each intertwined so subtly that it makes the story compassionate craft of beauty) kangna aka simran in the movie is deeply in love with daya who also happens to be a gangster.simran is a bar dancer earning her living for menial wages when every man desires nothing of her other than her sensual gratification of their senses and when daya shows her respect..wide horizons crop up in her lone and woebegone life and she begans to dream of a blissful and warm future but she never thought it will all come crashing on her like a thunderbolt out of blue and serene sky(of which she had always dreamt about) and leave her paralyzed with poignant pain and mortal agony for eternity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;daya is a recluse and decides to give up his killing for his love..but as people say “once you have taken the knife ,it will not end until somebody puts that knife through you too”..so his deadly profession follows him voraciously like a killer-shadow of his own self and he is pulled back into this highly-electric gaping black hole that has no evitable end and once again simran finds herself shunned to her lone-existence and this causes a relapse of her drunken orgy..that’s when aakash (emraan hashmi) comes into her life and he promises to fulfill her every unfulfilled dream and tells her that life goes on and only then does she see a shiny ray of hope in her dark and dingy existence but life again takes an unpleasant turn and everything goes haywire when daya retuns back to her and she is torn between the two.she gives in to daya’s attempts and goes back with him only to find she is pregnant with aakash’s child..time-and-again ditched into a dilemma..from there on the plot takes some of the most brilliant twists(which I shall not reveal here and spoil the charisma of the enticing tale which is best felt than read)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This story of love,remorse and atonement with its insatiable freshness and precarious flouting of the stereotype scores highly. It is one movie which besotted me completely and  aroused my esthetic pleasure truly after a real long time...mahesh bhatt-the man behind the story needs appreciation for his fortitudinous delving into deep-etched and raw human emotions.kangna steps into the role of the impertinent and the lost woman impeccably and even emraan hashmi seems to have learnt acting in this movie and shiney ahuja shines and sparkles and his charcterization is sprinkled with flawless excellence.he has not got many lines in the movie but his splendid portrayal of a silent man has poetized the character(the scene when he is caught by the cops is the highlight of the movie)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the quaint final scene epitomizes the feel of this spectacularly woven saga&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ps: saw the movie twice on the same day.. few days before my semester exams started and wanted to watch it once more&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

to emote their deep-heart feelings…..why do some people not perceive or understand this difficulty of some…..why are some people termed immature emotionally for their age....what does maturity got to do with age….    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;emotions ….the very word brings different kinds of emotions to my heart….i don’t know what people think about it but according to me it is something which is very near to your heart….it is the most basic feeling which connects you with others and makes your ephemeral existence in this world worth-while….its origin is unknown but its existence has been from time immemorial.…it is  felt deep inside and need not be prudently paraded to the outside world...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite my understanding in the heart, it remains unfathomable to my mind….when it is something so basic to your life then why do some people try to tamper with this notion…why do people want you to portray a different picture…why do people expect you to pretend like.. you like somebody whom you hate….why don’t people not understand the complexity of portraying fake emotions….to some it might seem like a child’s play to bring out phony emotions to get your work done….but to some this very thing is impossible because it is against their consciousness(which they deem to be their divine god)…and it is by this conscious they work day and night…yet when you go by it people think you are insane and abnormal…..you are branded as i-think-iam-always-right kinda  person possessing an inflated and extra-large head which would defy gravity even when falling down from the sky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it that some people affect you more than anything else and yet they fail to understand this…why is it that you would love to say that you don’t give a damn about somebody or something yet fail miserably when you try to impart it to your life…..why is it that at times you feel like whale shit in the subterranean ocean and yet can do nothing about it…and even taking anti-depressants would not assist you to feel better here…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always been the lone fighter and will always be one too…..the whole world can join hands and conspire against me yet I will not give up ….even if people think I have got a puffed up and repugnant worthless mass in my head instead of brains I will not reform (in their words)….and I will stop trying to understand emotions using my brain…..how will I since I got no brains….right??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ps: question marks have been avoided to avoid gross irritation

type='text'>are actors really humans???</title><content type='html'>Yet another screwed up week at coll n loadsa fun in d cochin trip...Wanted to write elaborately abt all these but decided to chuck my story for a while....like somebody gives a damn to my sordid tales.....so change of topic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The title might seem to be absurd and even derisive to quite a degree to quite a few people......those who agree with me would do so on the grounds of worshipping the actors as demi-gods but that is not so.... and those who are able to comprehend my point here and yet disagree are bound to change their opinion at the end of this post....nope this is no affected display of prudence yet again from my side on the contrary a humble question posed to every one to ponder....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actors ....ahhhhh.....the charming and handsome hunks whom every girl adores ….and the sexy ladies who enchant every guy with their appealing looks and a wink of their eye ....ever wondered what makes them tick?....the answer to that question would be ...their perfect display of expressions in synchronous with their picture-perfect features ....but hasn’t this very thing made them inhuman....actors act and this indispensable quality in them makes it inevitable for them to lead a normal life like others. A true actor has to bring out the deepest of emotions etched in the bottom most cell of his body to the surface with exaggerated extravagance and graceful opulence. They need to perform intimate and intricate scenes which in itself are a tussle with the two conflicting emotions ……consciousness and morality on one side and your love for the profession (let’s not get to the money part of it here) on the other shore.... and above all that the sensuous scenes between any two actors would encompass and entwine their souls for at least a short period in which they work together....and if it doesn’t then the actors must be devoid of human compassions ....so what does this make them?? &lt;br /&gt; Some might argue that once a person enters the arena of action and dramatics they are bound to lose their initial stigma and learn to manipulate their feelings accordingly but doesn’t this make them all the more pathos-eviscerated creatures….  &lt;br /&gt;As the actors perfect their flair in flawless-acting, they slowly lose their sensitivity and sensibility or are it that they gain more maturity and experience in worldly things?? A question which has been an illusion eluding and teasing my senses from a long time....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30487637-115530177967030640?l=shamcharisma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shamcharisma.blogspot.com/feeds/115530177967030640/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30487637&amp;postID=115530177967030640' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30487637/posts/default/115530177967030640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30487637/posts/default/115530177967030640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shamcharisma.blogspot.com/2006/08/are-actors-really-humans_115530177967030640.html' title='are actors really humans???'/><author><name>shameem</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18009596118213481069</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487637.post-115529846786784387</id><published>2006-08-11T17:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-11T05:14:27.883-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A letter to my “BEST” friend (informal yet formal letter)</title><content type='html'>Sham it,&lt;br /&gt;At charisma lane,&lt;br /&gt;Confused corner,&lt;br /&gt;Suckin world- 666666&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To&lt;br /&gt;The best friend,&lt;br /&gt;Golden-friendship alley,&lt;br /&gt;Pleasant world -777777&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subject:  termination of patience&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dearest,&lt;br /&gt;     How are u doing? Hope you are in the rosiest of your health mentally. I have lost mine and at the end of this I hope that you don’t lose yours.  &lt;br /&gt;                How was your tour to Bangalore? I am sure it would have been fantastic from the tales you have been feeding my blood-trickling ears (bound to be what with it being the only “village city” in India). When I come back from a tour you do not have the patience to listen to my morbid tales and instead you feed me with your sordid affairs that happened during the week.....i mean who will listen to a rustic’s story of a  rural area like cochi.....you are absolutely right to do so and I admire your endurance limit for tolerating a tarnished and mortal ass like me.  &lt;br /&gt;               I am tremendously sorry for infringing and invading your privacy without prior information and I’ll try my best not to add fuel to any fire even if I am conflagrating and rotting in the inferno. But what will I do if I am the smoldering flame out to set ablaze the malevolent and obnoxious devils of the world. But the devil is far better, the devil atleast has the patience to listen to my run-of-the-mill stories without an I-don-give-a-fuckin-damn-about-your-friggin-tales kinda expression. I apologize for trying to express my opinion in any of your personal matter....after all I am just a sleazy rag-doll who has a gigantic ear and a gargantuan heart to listen to your enticing tales without any judgement from my side.&lt;br /&gt;                But I must confess the thing that made me really happy beyond bounds was your statement “I have no best friend in life”. You are right.... nobody in the world could be anybody’s best friend. All this friendship and crap is a sham and whoever claims that he has a best friend who will be by his side for eternity is a fool. Trillions of thanks for enlightening me and reviving me from the bamboozlement (in which I was hoodwinked few years ago).&lt;br /&gt;

is one) of a post (even if I keep posting post-post-post scripts)....atleast its not as muddled and chaotic like some who write a letter to themselves and post it as a post.&lt;div

type='text'>Is life getting perplexing or am i......</title><content type='html'>life is suddenly seeming to be a never-ending nightmare except that every time I wake up…..this one never seems to end……it is one thing that the grotesque images keep flashing in your mind……but the feeling that it will never leave you…….leaves you more tantalizing if possible……..&lt;br /&gt;I have been drawn into a web of treachery and deceit by someone whom I once counted as my friend………been drawn into this web though I wanted no part of it…….i firmly believe the true existence of life is the feeling of complacency that encompasses every human soul…..but when such a web of threads(that decide relationships)is shattered by a greater web….it hits me…..hits me harder than a slap on the face…..right this person is not doing this the first time……many a times this has happened …..every time been forgiven for her cowardly and foolish activities……but this time it shall not be…..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way iam talking about it…..it might seem to people that I used to like this person previously and iam simply moaning about the person’s petty mis-demeanor……but it is not true…..i actually never liked the person…. though maintained a cordial and amicable relationship with her for the heck of it……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iam being scrutinized by some screw-balls who happen to be my “so-called teachers”…….the reason……the above mentioned specimen who happens to share my bench goes and complains about a teacher to the hod…..without any of our knowledge…….and the teacher comes to the class asking who was that person who went and complained…..and when asked us we sincerely refuse saying it wasn’t us……and the teacher calls us out(excluding the specimen) and has a brief talk enquiring who was it…..still in the darkness we continue refusing…..and the topic shifted to her teaching ways…….the teacher asks me to be frank and I reply in complete honesty that I cant get a word wat shez saying in the classes……..requesting her to start all over again….after all its been just one week since the college started……now she has to defend herself….she says how am i to complete the portions…..and the raving mouth of mine says “you had two whole hours today, mam….but u dint take a thing”…..well yeah two whole hours in which she dint even make an attempt to come near the board and pick up the chalk-piece….well this statement seems to have jolted her senses in its abnormally-inconceivable raw truthness…..all this happens and the specimen still does not confess the truth…..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I along with two of my other friends have to frequent “your majesty”(the hod)……for no crime of ours......she calls us to meet her and when we turned up ……she just keeps walking off……..acknowledgement of our presence seems to be far below “your majesty’s” level and dignity I guess……despite the fact that “your majesty” hates to be spoken in English(especially by girls)…..i do….not out of superiority or the habit of snubbing…..but just coz that’s way I am…….and so after hours of making us wait at 4.30 she again walks out saying its un-official hours……so no point of waiting….you can meet me on Monday…..you need not attend any classes ever again…..and with that note she goes off……&lt;br /&gt;I can clearly see what is “her majesty’s” motive in all this……she does not have a rock-solid point or any tangible evidence against us…..so she cant stop and say you commited this crime and iam punishing you for this(the reason why she keeps walking off)…..she is expecting us to cringe under her gaze and apologize most profusely…..but I shall not…..never …..not even if it happens to be my last breath of my life in this agonizingly manipulative and highly distorted world……&lt;br /&gt;I want to hurl these thoughts away …..iam tired of the retrospection……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i mean why should I sham an apologizing look…….would never do it…… not even for calling  myself the “sham charisma”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ps: though this post might hint heavily that iam mentally deranged(raving gibberish) ……iam not so….this is just some of my random thoughts … .and the pessimism which has been showered all over it shall be over-come by the wrought-iron spirit I pride myself to possess……. in a few days…..&lt;div

type='text'>sleep-deprieved maniac</title><content type='html'>the exams concluded few days ago......and i was rejoicing the hols though it was of short duration.......had planned loads of things for the hols.....main priority was to catch every soccer match despite the untimely hours ....read a book or two.....etc etc&lt;br /&gt;the perfunctory exams in itself were really very tiresome as i tried to cram everythin in the last minute.....but i dint know that what was to follow would rattle my existence......&lt;br /&gt;i started watching every match and would go to sleep as late as 3.30 in the morning(wouldnt even miss harsha bogle's talk after the match concludes and if possible would also try to catch up the news in headlines today.......esp if it has zakka jacob reading the news ) ....this continued for few days.....and the college reopened.....the main priority had not been given away.....slowly there seemed to be subtle changes.......which became a constant worry for my parents......the accumulated sleep-deprivation of many days was taking itz toll on my physical and mental health.........my puffy eyes ,dark patches under the eyes and ghastly appearance was one thing.......lack of catering to the appetite(aggrevated by the bitter sensation of the tongue)worsened the condition......though i pride myself to belong to the indefatigable class of species....this was more than i could bear.....every nerve and every cell seemed to revolt under the strenuosity.......this self-onslaught made me do following things(not in any order)....&lt;br /&gt;1)not turn up for the old schoolmates reunion-party&lt;br /&gt;2)write abnormal and incoherent things(this very post is testimonial to the fact)&lt;br /&gt;3)deny my mom's request to go shopping for the nth time&lt;br /&gt;4)bunk my driving-classes&lt;br /&gt;5)bicker with my best friend&lt;br /&gt;well,the last one just proved that i had turned into an insolent-freak and my newly acquired peevishness was turning to be my nemesis.....i cannot undo things i have done.....but i shall try to seek salvation for the sins i have committed......and the first step towards that would be.......am gonna skip today's final match and get my sleep....zzzzzzzzzzz&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

geeky kids all immersed in their newly brought books and summarizing portions they studied during the holidays.......you look like an alien left to saunter in a forlorn arena......then the grand rescue comes when you spot a girl clad in capris and tees with funky accesories to match your style.......and you have an animated discussion about the sports,actors(or rather about the handsome hunks like cristiano ronaldo n tom cruise) you like .......and u realize that both of you share the same enthusiasm about different things......only when you start to feel at ease .......something strikes you blatantly......your initial ecstasy turns into morbid irritation......though your tastes match.......your wavelength doesnt vibe with her.....there is something tacky about the way she is......she is a slut&lt;br /&gt;your solitary ride from the college gets all charged up and electrified when you catch a glimpse of a bike raced down by a guy whose shiny and jet-black hair is swishing in the breeze........and you blithely turn your head and look sideways (who the heck gives a damn 'bout the approaching vehicles)........breaaaak....yeah you stop the bike with a jerk .....not coz you are boggled by the good looks of the guy but in pure repugnance.......the guy's face resembles a squirmy black toad(rite i kno tat such a species doesnt exist...itz my wicked imagination)....... a
