CAN YOU?
The one between conversations?
The one between awkward moments?
On rainy Sunday mornings?
On lonely coffee evenings?
The eternal silence?

Of exams, laziness, and David Guetta.
Shorbori makes me want to blog, even if no one comments or reads it.
And right now, I really think I need to say something before I burst out of anxiety, joblessness, the regret and guilt associated with that and well...being me.
So.
Exams begin in FOUR DAYS.
OHMYGOD.
*Major Realization*
That is plain freaky considering how the holidays have just passed in a flash and that I'm suffering from a 'brain-freeze' at the moment.
Brain-freeze is when you just keep reading/studying and aren't sure if anything is registering or how much you actually do retain and will retain for future purposes.
Our date-sheet is scary.
Three consecutive exams, one main paper.
*Dies at the very thought*
Laziness is an inherent characteristic in all human beings, unless of course, you're P.T.Usha!
Though, I do think that it's about time that I got out of my laziness-phase and spring into action.
Reminder to self : FOUR DAYS. FOUR ONLY.
*Freaks out*
And, David Guetta. Well, he's AWESOME. After Coldplay though.
He's the HAPPIEST DJ EVER!
His songs make you happy. They're addictive and full of energy and just plain awesome.
He's awesome and that's all there is to say about him, really.
I speak for all David Guetta fans.
Happy exams!
Also, DU : May you burn in Hell!

Just.
I think. Way too much for that matter.
I think Price-Rise is not inevitable.
I think it's unfair and unjust.
I think 12year old girls are not ready for relationships.
I think following actors on twitter and then fighting over their thoughts, opinions and comments in full public glare is absolutely stupid.
I think Mumbai should get a metro.
I think Delhi Metro is awesome.
I think CWG is not going to be as grand as it should be.
I think everyone is a hypocrite.
I think everyone is corrupt.
I think the new Rupee symbol is brilliant!
I also think that the IIT postgraduate should've asked at least 10 lakhs for it.
I think 'Bandhs' are pointless.
I think Blogs are the best modes of self expression.
I think Facebook is changing the lives of people in more ways than one.
Negative and positive.
While some people swear by Facebook friends and barely have a social life outside it,others have become addicts to the various games and applications that the site provides.
I think Anorexic models are SO NOT IN!
I think Youtube is a great way to broadcast yourself. Sadly most people prefer to do that via their Facebook status messages.
I think Cricket is no longer about Cricket and much more about the bling.
I think the Hero Honda Hockey World Cup slogan – “Phir dil do hockey ko,Hero Honda dhak dhak go!” was inspiring.
Sadly enough,Hockey being our National Sport got left out in all the Cricket bling. To come to think of it,all of us know our Cricketers,but how many of us actually know our Hockey players?
I think that Paul the Octopus was more of a coincidence than anything else, not to mention the fact that he completely ruined the FIFA fun.
I think India and Pakistan are always just going to keep talking.
I think that Jaswant Singh’s book should not have been banned.
I think we have a very responsible government just that it’s going through a tough time this term.
I think Article 377 has brought about a new dawn in our society. A more tolerant and open society now stands proudly.
I think the recent Punjab floods were plain tragic.
I think the Rohtang Pass tunnel is going to be a boon,if completed well in time.
I think we’re strong enough to face terrorism.
I think Ajmal Kasab’s death penalty was the best judgement given out till date.
I salute Ujjwal Nikam.
I think moral policing is more of a personal choice than anything else. No one can control what you feel is right! And if someone does,then that's not right!
I think Anurag Kashyap is changing the face of Indian Cinema with his movies. Black Friday should not have been banned.
All this because I wanted to share my thoughts.
My thoughts are random and range from music,to current affairs to movies,gadgets and almost everything under the sun.
So yeah,that's a random post :|

Mysterious call.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKGjTNb9qtQ
THE CALL.
Okay,NOT.
Haha.
Randomness I guess.
Okay so today,I got a call.
Some female voice starts off with "Are you Radhika Saxena?"
"Yes".
*Wonders how does she know?*
Then as we proceed I find out that she knows my college and my friend Radha too.
So yeah,Radha referred me to her.
She apparently came to college looking for people who write/blog.
This woman who called is Leena from HT.
She called to ask if she could put my name in for this HT talent hunt or something.
And if they like me,my work and all,then they'll make me a part of their youth editorial board.
Like WOAH.
ME?
Are you kidding me? :O
Anyway so,worth a try I suppose.
Yay!
=)
I'm not so jobless after all I guess.

Dear Blog.
Thank you for being with me in this tough time.
This horrible time when there are a million distractions and I have absolutely nothing to remind me to study for my mains.
I feel like writing something you know,obviously now,that tends to happen more during exams than at any other time of the year,but then again I feel like my creative juices have dried up,which is another reason why I'm feeling so sick about my paper on the 21st.
So yes,help needed.
In any case,I know you'll be there with me,no matter what right?
Feels good.
And having said that now,I'm gonna shut everything and go study.
=)
In the meanwhile,if people do happen to see this post meant only for my dear blog,you could do by commenting,letting me know what I should do to just get my ass down to studying or suggest topics on which I can write and post for the general advantage of all.
Yay!
Okay,final now.
BYE.
Also,just in case you didn't realize,it feels HORRIBLE to have lost readers.
Please come back yo!

Lost love?
So yes.
Obviously I'm going to talk about Hindi.
As shocking as it may sound,Hindi was one of my favourite subjects till the 10th.
I don't know why I liked it so much,but well I just did.
Oh and yes,I'm a shameless girl because even though I did love Hindi,I didn't quite know the varnamala by heart :|
Sucks right?
I mean look at us.
We're all Indians,we live in this country but we don't bother ourselves with the language of the land,our Rashtriyabhasha - Hindi.
For the uneducated lot - Article 343 of the constitution says :
Sangh ki rajbhasha Hindi aur lipi Devnagri hai.
[Gah. I won't lie,I only know because I read it for my Hindi paper.]
So this girl who used to love Hindi completely forgets about the existence of the language.
Then,she enters college.
She knows she has Hindi as a qualifying subject,but she doesn't attend any classes except for the first Hindi Lecture ever.Seeing the freaky teacher and sensing the weird -OMG-you-are-so-totally-not-funny!- vibes emanating from him,she decides never to go back and attend the class.
Then,the university exams approach.
Still doesn't hit her.
10th April 2010 - She's all casual,"Haan yaar,Hindi hi toh hai!".
Obviously she doesn't study on the 10th,and gladly wastes the day.
11th April - Lets start with Vyakaran - gets over in an hour.
Later through the day - OMG I need to get a 20/50 in Hindi,I need to pass! - Starts freaking out. Calls a few people,relieved,chills out - watches weird movies and all.
12th April - Meets friends in college - OMG I'm so not passing! I'll have to give it again next year! Oh no!
Gives exam,attempts every question,writes some crap except for the vyakaran bit,submits her paper while collection and comes out,beaming.
OMG! I might just pass after all.
YAY! :D
So my point is,why did this happen?
Why are we so weird?
Why can't we just love our national language,respect it and stop being jerks?!
Why do we judge people who study in Hindi Medium schools and opt for Hindi Honours?
Why do we hate our Hindi teachers in school?
Why would we rather talk and write in English?
Why do we remember the alphabets by heart but not the varnamala?
This language helped us quite a it during the Independence struggle. [Okay,I know you're probably laughing now,but just read alright?] We all take that for granted you know,we don't bother to actually imagine and understand the enormity of it all.
We're too cool,right?
NOT.
All I'm saying is that my University Hindi paper made me understand what HINDI is to our country and how we should preserve the language because its an important part of our culture.
All the young ones today,loathe and detest Hindi,why?
Its not so bad,come on.
Its a fun language,with big funny sounding words =)
We must respect the language.
That's something all of us can do,and so we should. =)

Babble.
Hmm.
Babble I will,however random and nonsensical it may be.
You see,its been a long time,a little less than a year since I updated last,and I've missed you blog.
[And no,I'm not lying!]
So.
What do I write about?
My -oh so- random thoughts,my musings,new additions to my life or just the year 2009?
Since I haven't updated in ages,I think I'm going to write about it all,and make this one huge,LONG post and compensate for it all. =)
So,what should I start with?
Hmm.. *Wonders,hits her head against the wall and then it clicks!*
So I shall start where I left from.
Boards and being the girl without a future.
2009 was one heck of year,I must say!
After the boards followed the million career options and all the confusion in the world that comes with it all.
Option 1.
Engineering.
Being a science student,I was totally fed up of it.
After studying for my boards I felt like I'd studied enough,ENOUGH for that matter!
So I didn't want to study for any of my entrances. Thus engg as a career option was not even given any preference by me.
Option 2.
Law.
Ooh. Law seemed really interesting.
I loved it,still do.
But. BUT. Since I had to study for engineering entrances [Parents ko dikhane ke liye padhna padta hai na :|] So I couldn't study much for law.
Missed Symbi by 2 marks didn't qualify to the interview itself,CLAT was quite a tragedy =P
Somehow,my parents thought it is what I intend to do for life.
So here I am stuck.
My life undergoing a Boards part 2 sort of a situation. [You shall understand soon enough!]
Option 3.
Delhi University.
I love!
Absolutely!
I'm so glad to be studying in DU that I don't want to leave now.
All the more because of the wonderful people I've come to know.
And all the music that has enveloped my life this year.
Some really unbelievable things happened with me this year!
I did an AU show,finally =P
Joined Venky WMS one of the best in DU [Woohoo!]
Then surprisingly enough,I was made to sing SOPRANO!!
Now that was really SOMETHING!
I've never had that sort of a range,I've always been alto.
I was thrilled - sasti khushiyaan- you know =P
Awesomeness.
Danny Boy our song for the year was probably the toughest song I've had to sing.
I never thought I'd say this,but I miss singing it. MUST GO FOR CBS AND KMC GROUP! =D
I always wanted to do Math but over practice screwed my math paper and I didn't get it in DU,not even through ECA :|
So I decided to go in for English,its really not bad - I'm actually loving it!
[Esp. after I got a first division in the internals =P]
So now I'm in this HUGE dilemma.
Should I leave DU and go away for a 5yr course in law if I manage to get in somewhere this year?
Or should I stay in DU and do law after graduation?
[Yes. Music does influence my decisions alot. I know I won't be able to live a life without music.]
So,if I have to really stay in DU respectfully,I better get a First Div. in the University exams which is a little hard or I must get into one of the top law schools of the country.
Life does suck after all.
Sigh.
Then,
COLLEGE!
Weee! Got into Sri Venkateswara College and even though it does not have the best campus ever,I love my college man!
I love it for the people I know in there,the teachers and just everything!
I've learnt a lot.
New Additions to my life in the year gone by?
Why yes,certainly!
Lots of love.
Photography.
Music.
Fraandships.
Facebook.
Sikkim,Darjeeling - SNOW.
Gossiping.
National Texting - Courtesey AWESOME schemes by the Vodafone people. =D
Singing at fests.
Being at the verge of flunking internals.
Realising that the world is a small place.
New pair of Converse. =D
Crow Gloves.
WordPress.
In your face moments! Muhahaha!
Random trips to the strangest and faraway places,with the random-est people ever. =P
Teeny-weeny crushes =P
Jaundice. :|
and many more things on the same lines!
Musings?
Hot topic these days?
Dilemma. :|
Thoughts?
1.Oh fail,did I just say that to the Dhobi? What the hell will he think of me now?
Crap! I'm so chape =P
2. When did things get so complicated?
When we were young and had fights it was so easy - Listen I don't want to talk to you anymore - Katti!
Okay fine,I'm sorry - Abba! - And now?
Oh my my!
The extent of complexities is just awesome,with egos clashing and breaking of hearts and all =P
3. Chuck everything else,I want to become a travel writer or maybe those anchors on TV who get to taste awesome food =P
4. Gangubai Productions =D
Sorry cannot disclose the details,you will have to wait till the time is right =D
All I can say is - Coming Soon!
5. How the hell do all these Facebook groups bear such uncanny resemblance to my life?
6. Dude. My teacher is scary.
7. The same scary teacher has the MOST AMAZING PENCIL BOX EVER! Haven't seen a cooler one before!
8. Will I be able to own Rio Grande,EVER?
9. Is Hide and Seek by Imogen heap really that hard to figure out? :\
10. Am I the girl without a future all over again? :O
11. Whoa,how the hell did I manage a first div?
12. Am I the most velli person in the world?
13. Comprehension of the WEIRDEST DREAMS EVER! =P
14. Do you really have to go behen? :(
[http://www.blahberandthelike.blogspot.com/]
And so on.. My mind never stops thinking,I probably think even while I'm asleep :|
Finally,
FAREWELL NOTE FOR MS. SHARMADA BEHEN!
I know this is totally not needed and that you will be back eventually,but still.
I'll miss you behen. Walks. Coffee. Filter Coffee. Random talk. Slapping peacocks [Wanting to rather =P]. Hugs. High Fives. Bluetoothing songs. Getting hooked on to songs. Following protocol. Maaroing sastas. Sasti khushiyaan. Recession. Green Park. IIT. Gupta Departmental stores. Bougainvillea design studio. Texting. Sharing experiences.
Living.
Breathing.
ONE WHOLE MONTH! :O
Anyway,all the best!
I want you to do awesomely well in your Boards.
Better than me.
Do me proud =)
Love,
Behen.
And with that I conclude my post.
Hoping you had fun reading it.
