The Pensive

“Some people try to follow the suite. The others can just get rude! Some people try to outsmart you. The others just fail and don’t even rue!!” “Some people throw bricks at you. Trying to make you go black and blue! You cheerfully build a wall of fame. Mocking the attempts so tame!!” “The attempts are pretty hard. The others may label you mad! You are no saint to be glad. The world is full of people good and bad!!” “The preposterous ones sagely clad. Some laugh heart fully some stay grumpy and sad! Some have lump some money and a rich dad. Only few have a talent which the others never had!!” “Having Fun and happy times is the real art of life. The bash in the hoodwink of fun may create strife! Rather than being a threat its better to be a clown. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down!! This poem was originally published at theviewspaper

The 7th challenge is to write about 4 books!!! 1.) The Diary of a Young Girl : I can say it’s the first book which left me vacant from inside when I closed it. I used to read the routine books (all Sydney Sheldon's & Agatha Christie's works) till I bought this one in one of the trips and I preserved it and passed on to many others. It’s the diary of Anne Frank which she wrote till she died in the Nazi camp at the age of 14.When the book ended I was wishing to flip through more pages!! Written in Dutch language, it’s now translated in more than 60 different languages. It is still one of the best sellers and listed in the top 10 or 20 most read books in the world in some surveys! 2.) Harry potter : It would be an offense in my case to take any other name. I owe my childhood , teenage and this software stone age to J.K.Rowling and the amazing imaginations, subtle morals , emotions she weaved ! The awesome era of books and movies ended but the magic never ends to...

Five foods *Food* Yummm yumm *Slurp* .What can be more interesting topic than this ? MEN? I guess NO!! Food has more varieties than MEN :) My uncle teases my aunt saying: “ If she is given an option to chose between chicken biryani and him , without a second thought she will file a divorce :) " . People love food. It’s good to be a diet conscious person and take care of your body and keep a check on weight but doing it 24*7*12*365 is possible only if all your taste buds stop working and your sense organs are not working properly! Well I always wonder looking at the models, cine stars and those people who control their food cravings and appreciate them but always feel they are missing some fun and taste in life!! I get this feeling especially when I look at the not so appealing skinny and 0 sized bodies!! Anyway coming back to the FOOOD!!! Oh am a foodie.I haven’t tasted international cuisines. So I won’t sound cool by saying my favorite food is Chinese , Italian , Braz...

Six places I always want to visit!!! It’s very tough to write this coz I am not much in to travelling and there are very less places which I already visited but there are many in my list which I would want to visit! Some things in this post may seem repetitive but well as it is a post about me cant help the repetition !:) 1.) Bef ore mentioning big big desires I want to roa m around IN DI A which is the biggest desire . Around the India in how many ever days it takes. An expedition, exploration, a relax ation. Among the places I saw the ones I wanna go again and again would be Vizag(for beach), Mumbai (for its vastness), Coorg, Araku (for serenity), Hyderabad(for obvious reasons)! Among places which I have never visited Shimla , Kashmir , Goa , Kerala , Pondicherry ,Andaman and Nicobar islands and many hill stations are in hit list. Tajmahal one of the wonders is a place which i already visited but would love to visit that historical part of India (Ajmer, Agra, Raja...

7 Wants!! !! Now comes the most favourite part of the challenge …7 Wants !! I was waiting for this one Seven Whoaa ..Number feels Magical!!! J Ole Ole Here I go I badly need/want a “Thought Machine” [Like a magic quill Kind] which can read my thoughts and simultaneously type them out in a word doc or on a paper. It’s a pain to type ! It should read my thoughts as if am dictating and pen them down with the needed editions and truncations ;) I want to write a book whatever might be the time I take I gotta do it! Whenever a weekend comes there are many Hangouts but to me an ideal hangout will be a still lake side or river side[Not like the smelly Hussain sagar ] with colorful pebbles , waves touching your feet gently and gentle breeze letting your hair fly , where you can sit , spread a mat lie down , listen to music and relax [a drizzle is always welcome]. I would want to go to such a place at least once in a month and to a sea shore at le...

Fears !!! Yeowww .. Even when I write this word . I feel shaky and scared !! K But when I give a second thought like Harry potter “ I Fear the Fear most ” ,like when he looks at boggart it turns to dementor !!! J For Non HP folks -- > [ boggart is a shape-shifting creature that takes on the form of the viewer's worst fear] [A dementor is a Dark creature, considered one of the foulest to inhabit the world. Dementors feed off human happiness, and thus cause depression and despair to anyone near them]. I Fear the fear most but the sources which generate fear are sometimes many sometimes None!! I show vigor at times and am quite a cissy-missy many a times! Ø Energy Drainers: I fear them a lot. They are as good as Dementors!! Trying to demotivate you all the while. Trying to magnify your negatives , pulling you down , making you feel hollow. Well theres nothing much to say about them. I have spoken a lot on them. I shoo them away may be with the help of a patronus (some...
