I need a second blog! :P

OK. I NEED to have an anonymous blog. Like seriously. There so much that I want to write but can't as I know the people I interact with daily, would be reading it. And I obviously don't want them to know about it. Hence, the problem. :P


But one the other hand, I want to become a good, renowned blogger. For that I need to blog regularly. But I need to blog under a pseudo-name. I can always have that but then the address of my blog defeats the entire purpose. So I desperately need to shift. :-|

I had switched to twitter for tweeting regular updates. But with Twitter not being private any more, that's not going to work from now on. :-/


Well, I am not starting a second blog in the next 3 weeks. So this thought can rest a bit. I have my end-semester examinations in 2 weeks. And I know I should be studying for this and not writing this post. But it had been a long time since I actually blogged. The feeling of writing about all the stuff happening had gone. But today all of a sudden, I suddenly felt like blogging and hence the post. :P


And yeah, today's my mom's birthday. So, Happy Birthday Mom. :D

Grandma, this one's for you!

Looking at the water below,

I saw myself staring at me.

I couldn’t believe what had happened.

Was this actually meant to be?

The feeling had still not sunk in.

I was still finding it difficult to come to terms with reality.

The fact that she was no more,

Was true in actuality.

It was just a few hours back,

That I had talked to her.

Her last words to me,

Still in my mind do occur.

Now that I know I can’t,

There is so much to say.

How much I wish,

That you could live another day.

I will always deeply miss and fondly remember you.

Grandma, I hope you knew,

That you are in my heart etched.

And that I used to, still and will always love you.




This was due to be to posted in Indian Fusion. But then as this was personal, I decided to have it on my blog too. :)
Since I would be sharing the Indian Fusion link. Why not share this too!? :P

This one's for my bro!

Kapil Kalra, I know you won't be reading this. (I seriously hope you aren't! :P) But this one's for you. <3

I am SO SO SO proud you today and you know why.

Keep it up, bro! :)

Love,

Karan

Just for the sake of it

I know I haven't posted since ages. And this post is just being made to break that record.


There was so much to write. But now I feel all that stuff is irrelevant. One because I am so late. My thoughts and perceptions have changed. Secondly because my blog is not private. I know you would be reading it. And I obviously don't want you to know about it.(I know you are reading this too. So please get the message. :P)


All I can say is that a lot of stuff is going on. Some big decisions have been taken. Some are still pending and would be taken in the subsequent days. I will write about them in the coming posts.


Life is weird and so am I. Enormous mood swings had engulfed me in the previous week. But now, I am hopefully back to normal.


I have definitely been suffering from the 'Writer's Block'. I just can't sit down and write something. Around 5-6 poems had been started but are yet to be completed. It's like my mind has suddenly stopped vomiting ideas.


And lastly, Udaan's music rocks. The lyrics are so true, touching and thought provoking!


Ik udaan kab talak yun kaid rahegi
Roko na chod do isse
Ik udaan hi sapno ko zindagi degi
Sapno se jod do isse


Kahani khatam hai ya shuruwaat hone ke hai
Subha nayi hai yeh ya phir raat hone ko hai

The Ups and Downs

The past 2 weeks have been quite Topsy-turvy for me. Enormous mood swings had engulfed me for apparently no reason at all. The highs and lows were quite significant and evident. :/
But now it is thankfully over and I have hopefully emerged out as a stronger person. You can't be affect by smaller things. There are much bigger issues to worry about. :) 


I will only mention about the 'highs' here. Not the 'lows'!
I have written 2 articles for a online magazine called "Indian Fusion". 
Indian Fusion
A friend of mine told about the articles the she had been writing for it. I contacted its owners and was selected to write an article for it, much to surprise! :)


There was an article that I came across in the Times Of India, Mumbai edition dated July 20th 2010 titled 'I was programmed to be a genius'. Now I wasn't in Delhi at that time. So I don't know whether this was also published in Delhi edition or not. But nevertheless, I have posted a link of the same. So you all can also have a look at it. 
I was programmed to be a genius
This was the inspiration behind my first article titled 'Eugenics'. I had a draft on this topic for a long time but I just wasn't getting the time to sit down and research for it. But this magazine played the perfect reason for the delay! :P
Eugenics
It got 49 facebook likes + 9.5 rating out of 10 from 6 votes. I am simply honoured! :D


There were 2 videos which were quite helpful when I felt low. I somehow felt inspired and motivated after every watch.
The 1st is the trailer of the movie "127 hours" starring James Franco (He has played Harry Osborn in the Spiderman movies) and directed by Danny Boyle (Of Slumdog Millionaire fame).
127 Hours - Official Movie Trailer
The 2nd is the video of Steve Jobs titled "How to live before you die".
Steve Jobs : How to live before you die
This was the inspiration behind the 2nd article.

As this blog post was in the reckoning for 3-4 days, by that time my 2nd article had also been published. It came out 2 days back.

Have you found your 'thing'?

I am really embarrassed by the typos in it. I was feeling really sleepy at the time I was writing this article. Hence the errors. :/

This one too got has 41 likes up till now. And a rating of 9.5 again from 2 votes! Amazing! :D

I surely could have have got more if it had not been for the typos! :P

Now, this explains to an extent why I couldn't blog for the past 2 weeks.

Don't worry blog! I always have, still and would always love you more! :)
