The Birthday.

30th November
Your Birthday.
Your absence.
Your memories.
The helplessness.
The anger.
The despair.
The loneliness.
The tears.
The hopelessness.


Wish I could wish you a 'Happy Birthday'.
Hate to say it, but, 'May you rest in peace'.
Love always,
Rashmi

What were they thinking of???

I caught sight of this 90's song from the movie 'Khiladi' few days back on the television- 'Waada raha sanam' starring Akshay Kumar and Ayesha Jhulka.

:|

A beautiful song but the video actually made me roll down on the floor and laugh like I'd never laughed before.

ummm Ok ....a slight exaggeration on my part there but I'm close.

I mean if you've already seen it I need tell no more.

And if you haven't , yet, that is.......HOW COULDN'T YOU?????

The song starts with Ayesha Jhulka running with her dupatta flying above her and smiling at the same time. Contradicts the illusion that a dog is running after her, eh?

Akshay Kumar before his makeover days, wearing a white shirt and a black pair of jeans .....and with a puppy dog hairstyle....oh not to forget the white sneakers....trying his bit to look like a college going cool guy, if ever there was one. Hmmmph.

And the best part was Ayesha Jhulka. The first thing which strikes me is the hairstyle. I don't think I'd be able to do it justice even if I tried my level best.ATROCIOUS is the word. Not to forget the Huge ruffle on her head.:|

I wouldn't be seen dead in one. -gulps-

The white 'Frock-styled salwar suit' she's wearing is hideous. So is the make up. Yup, the bindi too.The designer, the make up man and the hair stylist must have been a bunch of sadists to have come up with that. I mean ....WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING OF?????

I mean she was a very pretty actress. Poor thing.

The only video I can think of right now which beats this one is the 'TOHFA' song featuring Jeetendra and Sri Devi.

We've got such classics, haven't we?

-sighs-

Pakoras deep-frying.
Neighbours dropping in.
A party.

But to celebrate
All you have to do is spend your Time with your loved ones.
This New Year lets promise to keep in touch with our loved ones........

Virtual versus Real.

Online crushes, online poetry,online craziness,online friends, pouring your heart online, online marriages, and what not!

How much of virtual life is real and vice versa?Ever wondered about it?

Well I have, in fact I do...often.

Five years back, I'd have called anyone stupid who'd have dared to argue about the fact that a virtual internet life often intercepts one's real life. Now I'd call myself a fool not to realise this much.

I've made loads of friends on Orkut, even though Facebook is considered to be the more 'in' thing. Well, I guess I'm still old-fashioned. -sighs-

Not to say that all my Orkut friends are close to me, but still there are quite some who play important roles in my life, so much so that few of them mean more to me than some good real-life friends. (Real-life friends-No offence mates. You all are still special.;) )

When exactly did these close 'virtual' friends cross the threshhold of virtuality-to-reality I'll never know for sure. My birthdays are made special because of these special 'virtual' people who call me at 12 at night, struggling to be the first ones to wish me. I look forward to their visits to Delhi and talking to them. Meeting them wasn't strange at all and it felt as if I'd known them all my life.

Earlier I'd feel I was one of the rare crazy creatures around and had lost the hope of meeting someone like me. But now I know better.Late night conversations, giggling on stupidest of things, keeping in touch with people who have drifted afar, singing crazy B-grade songs on every situation...AAAH Life is a bliss thanks to the 'virtuality'.
