just finished reading "like the flowing river" the latest release by paulo coelho...
i could not have enjoyed the book more as the timing was just perfect.. i was [ and am] going through the shittiest phase of my life... where the road only seems to be an uphill task with no respite anywhere close..
whether the appreciation for the book is more because of me being in the dumps, i do not really know...
an inspiring must read, the book is a collection of the author's observations and reflections of day to day life.about how pain and happiness are two sides of the same coin..
whether its about a simple account of turning down a beggar and the guilt the author felt or inspiring notes of how to handle stress, emotional turmoils or the 9/11 disaster.. the book captures the reader's interest.
the simple truths of life narrated in a lucid manner using simple props such as pencils, mountains, rivers... thereby making it both an interesting and a memorable read :)
a recommended reading for just about anyone!!!

the straightened me ;)
well if my dad or a contemporary of my dad [who knows me, well] were to read this, they will be highly elated :)
that this incorrigible "girl" so to say has finally straightened out is sure good news!!!
too bad though that the only thing straightened out at the moment, is my apparent long[ oops not too long] tresses :)
finally i get to experience straight and thick black hair on my head :)got my hair ironed out 2 days ago, and havent stopped preening as yet.. that i could walk out without havin to braid , or ponytail, or 'clip' my hair, is such a wonderful feeling...
that i dont have to oil my hair on a daily basis , is a welcome break...
atleast for a few days i dont have to see that dry, frizzy, extremely thick and curly hair o mine... :) :)
revelling in the new look o mine... too bad it wont stay 4 long!
signin off...
been a while since i admired my hairstyle :)

the inevitable change...
"the only thing constant is change", the oh so familiar cliche, the most often used pacifier, that one statement i would love not to agree with at times...
its true that variety is indeed the spice of life... that only change brings in that variety and adds that extra tang to life.. i wouldnt want to even think of a monotonous existence, killing the very zest 4 life!
however sometimes i wish change wouldn happen at all... that when the going is smooth, let it continue to be so!
agreed that the good can be appreciated only when there is the bad, happiness only when pained , love after hate and union only when there is a separation....
however even this doesnt go down well at times...
two people in love... crazily in love for four years ..been together for 2 whole years...used to seeing each other every single day... things moving smoothly..when suddenly life decides to play truant...then follows a year of separation [courteousy studies] with the only thought of getting back to base camp, to the same comfort zone once the mission's accomplished...
somehow no light at the end of the tunnel as yet...
life sure is a roller coaster ride.. just as the ride seems to have stopped, there it goes, at full throttle!
in and out of the base camp, courteousy "job hopping" , better opportunites or the lack of it[ any which way one wants to c it ] the ride just never seems to end...
the only solace " whatever happens happens for the good" !?!?!

LLB 3rd sem....
one down, 2 more to go..jus started my second year of the LLB course..
a combination of interestin and not so interesting subjects...
a thoughtful combination of good and funny lecturers!
1 out of the 4lecturers is really good... good command over the subject and an equally matching personality and aura ... ideally fit to be the principal of our college, in my personal opinion.
next in line the only lady lecturer this sem... pretty neat command over the language and the subject..
the third tolerable lecturer, a guy we had last sem, so pretty used to his antiques :)
the fourth one wins hands down in providing wholesome entertainment!
he takes property law.. has an amazing voice modulation..basically high pitched, suddenly touches the highest chords..thereby awakening the most persistent "sleepyheads" ...
the gentlemen and gentleladies together we, the students,are exposed to a new lexicon..
where contracts entered into with "unsoundminded" men are void because they now become "waste fellows" , where the 'production must be produced" b4 i dunno whom...
attended my first class of his only today...
therfore the antiques captured are few....
if somewhere my english is wrong,it can be safely concluded that im absorbing every detail of the class very well like a gentlelady ;)

| You Are 10% Evil |
 You are good. So good, that you make evil people squirm. Just remember, you may need to turn to the dark side to get what you want! |
| Your Kissing Purity Score: 54% Pure |
 For you, kissing isn't a casual thing Lip to lip action makes your heart sing |
| Your Kissing Technique Is: Perfect |
 Your kissing technique is amazing - and you know it. You have the confidence to make the first move. And you always seem to know what kissing style is going to work best. Sometimes you're passionate, sometimes you're a tease. And you're always amazing! |
| You Are Balanced - Realist - Empowered |
You feel your life is controlled both externally and internally. You have a good sense of what you can control and what you should let go. Depending on the situation, you sometimes try to exert more control. Other times, you accept things for what they are and go with the flow. You are a realist when it comes to luck. You don't attribute everything to luck, but you do know some things are random. You don't beat yourself up when bad things happen to you... But you do your best to try to make your own luck. You have a good deal of power, but you also know the pecking order. You realize that working the system does get you further. You know who to defer to and who to control. When it comes to the game of life, you play things flawlessly. |

 You have achieved the perfect balance of control and letting go. You tend to roll with whatever life brings, but you never get complacent. |
