Getting closer...

Four down, two more to go!! Yayayaya!!

Lol. I JUST came out of the fourth exam and am in the computer lab because I'm having blogger withdrawal symptoms and my stupid laptop has decided to go mad on me again. Actually not my laptop. Windows. Argh! Ubuntu is my baby. So thankfully, I'm not completely computer-less, I just can't boot up Windows for some reason and therefore can't use the internet at home.

Anyway, just thought I'd update y'all, dear blogger-friends.

*I can't wait till next Wednesday! (When the exams will be over)
*I'm so psyched that it's December!
*I'm looking forward to 2010. I have a feeling it's going to be a good year! This year has been really good too but next year will be better. I can feel it :D
*I'm currently crazy about Michael Buble's new album: Crazy Love. Especially this song called Baby (You've Got What It Takes) ft. Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. Love it!
*The weather is pleasantly cold in the nights and mornings nowadays. Loving it!

Happy Weekend All! :D

The Shadow Proves The Sunshine

It's kinda quiet around here. Finally.

(1) Could it be true?

Could life be new?

It's been loud and frenzied for the last couple of weeks with college and then Kscope and while I love loud and frenzied, quiet is good. I'm grateful for quiet.

(2) All that's in my head,

Is in your hands.

I'm in the middle of exams. Two down, four more to go. The first two were pretty OK. Next one's not till Thursday so I'm relaxing a little and enjoying the stillness because it's going to get loud again from Thursday. The rest of the exams and then after the exams we have a bunch of looming deadlines with projects to meet so – madness!

(3) I'm finding that you,

And you alone can break my fall.

I'm listening to music and writing (like mad!) and reading (Pride & Prejudice, finally!) in between the studying. The studying is kind of a pain-in-me-arse but you know, if we didn't sometimes have to do things that we don't particularly like doing, everything else would also be kind of meaningless. I mean, I love listening to music more because for those moments I can NOT think about studying and that makes it sweeter.

(4) You push until you're shoving,

You bend until you break.

I think this is why I don't like being addicted to anything. Addictions always let you down and it's kind of boring. Diversity is sweet. Do things that you don't always do. Break the patterns.

(5) Let me know that you love me,

Let that be enough.

Hmm, this is turning out to be a post of random rambling/ not making much sense. That's not really new, is it? :P I did have a point, though. I wanted to say something...

(6) There's so much more than empty conversations

Filled with empty words.

Oh yes, last night (or the night before, I forget) I was thinking about how I haven't made one of those “I am thankful for...” lists on my blog for a while. And man, I am thankful for a lot of things. Anyway, so I began writing stuff down in my journal and I realised I can't just make lists because once I write down a point I feel like elaborating on the things about that thing or person that I am most thankful about. Lol. So I didn't get very far but the point is that I realised that when I think of things that I am most thankful about, they're all people.

So I want to tell you that I am thankful for you, dear blogreader. Silent or not-so-silent as you may be. Thank you for reading!

(7) Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.

Where can you run to escape from yourself?

I started this blog about 3 years ago and got a lot more from it than I ever bargained for! I don't even completely remember what the motive for starting this blog was initially but now, now I hope that when you come to read this blog you wouldn't see me. You would see something that is much much bigger than me :)

(8) In the currency of grace;

Is where my song begins.

Have a joyful week!

And if you're wondering what's with the little numbered quotes. I'm listening to Switchfoot (and falling in love with them all over again!) and the lines may or may not have anything to do with the rest of the post :P And I've numbered them for any of you fellow Switchfoot fans who might want to take a dig at guessing the songs from which I've picked up the lines! (For the record, I would not be able to do it myself. So go ahead, impress me! :D)

Treasure Hunt!

You know one of the things that I LOVE about this wonderful world of blogging?
Sometimes, you find such treasures on other total strangers' blogs!
Here is one such treasure!
It's a song called 'Beautiful You' by Monk and Neagle. The video is compiled by some other total stranger on YouTube and it's not that great but just let it load and listen to the song!

Beautiful You
I can’t imagine life without You
Beautiful You
I can’t imagine being alone
Beautiful You
The only thing I ever wanna do
Beautiful You
Is have You hold me in Your arms
Beautiful You

-- Beautiful You by Monk and Neagle

Time for change!

Totally excited about the new banner! What thinkest thou?!
Shake it like a polaroid picture!? :P

Attention-attention!

It's me again :)

You know, taking a short break to publicise the 'Nandi's on the blogosphere. A.k.a my sister[-in-law], D[inah]'s blog[s]! and my Pops. Because I realised that I never actually did that when they started blogging and I usually do so here goes:

Presenting to you:

Pops: My Thoughts - thoughts on political and social issues

and

D: Wings of an Eagle - thoughts and prayers and Walk on the Ocean - random musings

"That's all!"

Confused.

I'm not sure what I feel about the new layout. It feels a little cramped but I like the banner being in the centre and I don't know how to make it not look cramped while keeping the banner in the centre. A little help?

Chug-a-lug! (Ooty Trip Part 3)

Travelling by train with a bunch of good friends is the BEST! Travelling alone - five girls on a national train was not just fun for us, it was like a step towards independence. Of course we couldn't have done it all without parental intervention - especially Sharan's dad who booked tickets for us and other people who helped to make sure our AC tickets got confirmed at the last minute. But for the most part we were on our own and how did those 32 hours from Bombay to Coimbatore pass?

taking photos, playing games including Taboo, BOPIT, and we even gambled a little with newspaper money!

I spent a lot of my time hanging outside the train trying to capture the beauty of rural India passing us by, the setting sun and also trying to photograph my gorgeous friends (who were also hanging out the train!)

The coolest part was that when we reached Coimbatore we met two of our fellow bloggers down south - Nithya and Sharanyan and also Nithya's parents. Nithya's granny made up some delicious dosas for breakfast which was nicely packed and hot! So we found a little conference table in a shopping centre and ate to our heart's content before we got on the bus up to Ooty. It was so great seeing you guys! The fact that we actually met like this is just so fantabulous and hopefully we'll be able to spend more time getting to know you guys (like beyond the blogging world!) better the next time!

at the "breakfast table"!

All the girls: Nithya (behind, making horns!), Sharan, Sonu, Jo, Antu and Me

Fellow bloggers!

Simply...

one of those cool bloggy things! :D
P.s. In my mind, I am that tall... :P
