thoughts into a form that&amp;#39;s expressible, readable, and probably&lt;br&gt;publishable to an audience. I have noticed more and more that i&amp;#39;m&lt;br&gt;becoming more of a person that expresses thoughts in long sentences.&lt;br&gt;Short is effective, or so i&amp;#39;ve heard.&lt;p&gt;Recently i acquired possession of my e50 again, thanks to a dear&lt;br&gt;accomplice. Now i&amp;#39;m able to marvel yet again the proficiency and the&lt;br&gt;level of excellence that man tends to achieve ho pursuing the goal of&lt;br&gt;combining so many little and useful gadgets and work-arounds and nifty&lt;br&gt;little softwares in so small a device.&lt;p&gt;How long has it been that the corporate giants have made it there&lt;br&gt;vision to enslave the world in its digital gadgeteries and electronic&lt;br&gt;franchising? Do we realize how difficult it is to survive a day,&lt;br&gt;rather an hour, without our mobile phones and pagers? Its the&lt;br&gt;multi-billion dollar conglomerates that have made us forgotten what a&lt;br&gt;simple letter would do for a long distance call won&amp;#39;t. Or what small&lt;br&gt;children would do to get their parent&amp;#39;s attention when they are busy&lt;br&gt;setting up nannies and contacting baby sitters for their kids, all the&lt;br&gt;while shunting their kids from the cruel yet busy schedules they&amp;#39;ve so&lt;br&gt;often got. Do the parents today realize how much time they&amp;#39;re giving&lt;br&gt;to their growing ones between the day jobs and the&lt;br&gt;homework-thats-actually-the-office-work-brought-home?!&lt;p&gt;The answer to all the above controvartial questions is a deafening and&lt;br&gt;booming NO! We need to give time to our kids. We need to get in touch&lt;br&gt;with our lives, literally. Rather than texting a relative on season&amp;#39;s&lt;br&gt;greetings, why not give one a call this time?! Instead of making your&lt;br&gt;kids watch Baby t.v this evening, why not spare an hour for fun and&lt;br&gt;parenting! Surely it would be relaxing and one may even be more&lt;br&gt;productive with an enjoyable life than one without one! Getting the&lt;br&gt;point? And never should anyone say no to an episode of Boston Legal&lt;br&gt;once every two three days... Its fun, its quirky, its witty, its aaall&lt;br&gt;...

Ironic! Isn&amp;#39;t it!?&lt;p&gt;I mean, let&amp;#39;s look at it and try to analyze a stereotypical case of&lt;br&gt;such relevance and see where we go from there. On one hand, we have a&lt;br&gt;man who has, or atleast tried to, worked hard all his life to get a&lt;br&gt;job to get married and have kids, because frankly that&amp;#39;s what life&amp;#39;s&lt;br&gt;all about in our culture, get a job to get a family. Now when a man&lt;br&gt;tries and achieves this target, he gets married or gets ready to be&lt;br&gt;and do so. When he does eventually get married, he enjoys it for a&lt;br&gt;while and then gets on with life again, which has changed a bit for&lt;br&gt;him, (We&amp;#39;ll come to the spouse and children part later!.) this new&lt;br&gt;life has as his duty the providence of livelyhood to his family, and&lt;br&gt;keeping alive in the tough world of competitiveness and hard work. So,&lt;br&gt;he does so happily. He brings home money to be enjoyed by his family&lt;br&gt;to live their livelyhood to the fullest, if not barely live their&lt;br&gt;lives in case of barely-meeting-the-ends kinda examples. So this bloke&lt;br&gt;enjoys a bit of comfort in providing shelter, home and safety to his&lt;br&gt;family he so pleasingly feeds and maybe even loves.&lt;p&gt;What&amp;#39;s wrong with this picture? Why isn&amp;#39;t anything wrong yet? Well the&lt;br&gt;thing is that everything goes smooth and fine, supposedly, till we&lt;br&gt;reach a point where the kids, in this case we&amp;#39;ll suppose there are...&lt;br&gt;I&amp;#39;m inclined to say four but... Two, tend to gain height and start&lt;br&gt;asking questions and behaving in such a way that every parent ip made&lt;br&gt;to think whether the kids of any other family do that? Or do any other&lt;br&gt;parents have to face such dilemmas? But this is just the fun part.&lt;br&gt;Problems start to come when a child does something so outrageous or&lt;br&gt;disbelieving that one parent asks another who&amp;#39;s fault is it!? Mothers&lt;br&gt;defend themselves and the kid first most of the times, and blame the&lt;br&gt;husband in the end. Fathers think mothers tend to spoil the kids. So&lt;br&gt;many rights and wrongs, who&amp;#39;s right and who&amp;#39;s left! Wrong i mean?!&lt;br&gt;Well then a bit time later arguments arise in the perfect little&lt;br&gt;family as to whose fault is it that their son comes home too late and&lt;br&gt;doesn&amp;#39;t talk or share much with them. They keep blaming each other,&lt;br&gt;shouting sometimes lovingly sometimes angrily sometimes, and in the&lt;br&gt;meanwhile the child however old he or she is, affected. So much so&lt;br&gt;that he or she might have thoughts of committing suicide. If only had&lt;br&gt;the father spent a little more time with his son...!&lt;p&gt;-- &lt;br&gt;Sent from my mobile device&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5755467745410228469-4257437784175375621?l=life-unzipped.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://life-unzipped.blogspot.com/2009/09/mobile-rant-3_28.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (QWA)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5755467745410228469.post-5777017497527998381</guid><pubDate>Mon, 28 Sep 2009 00:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-28T06:30:17.476+06:00</atom:updated><title>Mobile rant 3</title><description>How many times has it been that i have made my mind to blog about&lt;br&gt;something and it either escaped my mind or else i was too lazy to do&lt;br&gt;it?

Blinded by the egos, deluded by the thought that they are the only ones knowingly doing the best they can for others and themselves. To tell the truth, i simply adore this notion of 'self righteousness'. It gives one the momentary pleasure of doing the right thing! Its blissful! No doubt!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But what of those who have or might have veered a teeny tiny bit further ahead of the seemingly big headed ones?! Should such not be given a chance to at least speak!? And if listened to, should it not be considered for a moment that they might be saying or suggesting some thing better than what the blissfully blessed may have at work in their idle workshops!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yes! They DO deserve a chance, and a good one at that. Passing on such chances, acting on one's own instincts might seem reasonable and very much logical, if not lucrative, when there is a quick decision to be made... but what happens to the times when our seniors and elders do NOT have the daunting and responsible task of making quick decisions?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What of the moments that require a little, if not complete, indulgence, confidentiality and counselling with the party involved! Eye E, the juniors! This &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Culture"&gt;culture&lt;/a&gt;, this &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Country"&gt;country&lt;/a&gt; i should rather say, deprives and continues to deprive such chances every day in millions at any given moment,whether its a yet-to-prove-himself bachelor's ambitious dream career being brushed under a carpet along with other broken dreams stuffed under the same ragged piece of cloth, or whether its a matter of choosing who a stubborn father's daughter should spend the rest of her life with... It usually comes to this, what will the seniors say?! Why the ... Does it matter so much!?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Is it because the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Religion"&gt;religion&lt;/a&gt; says so? Yes we are a religious country. Yes we pride ourselves so stupidly and valiantly on occasions for that, and truly so! Religion says, bottom line, &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informed_consent" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Informed consent"&gt;informed consent&lt;/a&gt;. Its THAT simple.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What's the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Law"&gt;legal&lt;/a&gt; status? I say legalities allow an eighteen years and above sane adult male to do whatever he or she wants as long as its legal and not violating the rights of others.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Is aiming to become a &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion_design" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Fashion design"&gt;fashion designer&lt;/a&gt; a crime? Do we have to pass a 'fitwa' every time a girl want to marry someone she likes when both parties are agreeing but their arrogant and morés ridden families aren't allowing? Is it really illegal to have someone else do the chores for you!?! WHERE is this country and its peoples going with this?! Where am I going with this!! No idea seriously... But jokes aside, and to be brief and concluding, this nation is in a state of psychological mess! And it needs a shrink ASAP! I don't know what Jinnah thought of when he planned to un-mingle two mingled-up nations, but he didn't, wouldn't, couldn't, and - i personally think - shouldn't have planned for this bowl of salad!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;-- &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sent from my &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_device" rel="wikipedia nofollow" title="Mobile device"&gt;mobile device&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="zemanta-pixie" style="height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/4995539d-bd3b-4e69-a21a-070fa4150323/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;img alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=4995539d-bd3b-4e69-a21a-070fa4150323" style="border: medium none; float: right;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script defer="defer" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;

How does one really know -&lt;br /&gt;as they say beyond all &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000008106a9a" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_doubt" title="Reasonable doubt" rel="wikipedia"&gt;reasonable doubt&lt;/a&gt; - that one's in love? Is it&lt;br /&gt;circumstantial? If so, what are the circumstances? The big question&lt;br /&gt;remains, what is love!? More importantly, i think, what do i think of&lt;br /&gt;it or how do i perceive it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Love, in context of her majesty, would be my unconditional affection,&lt;br /&gt;or strong liking, or high affinity for her. Seeing as i already tend&lt;br /&gt;to think of her for most of the day, i don't doubt I'm on one stage or&lt;br /&gt;the other of love - assuming there ARE stages in love! - albeit the&lt;br /&gt;initial or intermediate stage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When i say 'thinking of her', I'm referring to me imagining her in&lt;br /&gt;various ways. I have imagined her countless-ly in the past two years of&lt;br /&gt;my so called love for her. The way i imagine her has mostly been in&lt;br /&gt;the form of her carrying out tasks that i would love to see her doing,&lt;br /&gt;or in the form of actions i see others perform and wish for her to do&lt;br /&gt;it in front of me as to how she would look like doing it. And the&lt;br /&gt;tasks range from waking up sleepily to &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000000373cf" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep" title="Sleep" rel="wikipedia"&gt;sleeping&lt;/a&gt; sleepily, virtually&lt;br /&gt;anything i can get my mind veer to. And here comes the fun part!...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;...I tend to block every and all things sexual that i can think of&lt;br /&gt;when thinking of her, its almost automatic now! I don't know... May be&lt;br /&gt;I've conditioned myself as such for so long that to think of her in&lt;br /&gt;any way that disrespects her image or threatens her innocence is&lt;br /&gt;blocked away by my mind or an unconscious attempt is made at least. And&lt;br /&gt;this alone may well be my grounds for the notion that i might be in&lt;br /&gt;love with her majesty Princess X!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm starting to like this mo-blogging more and more now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do sometimes think about what type of relationship do we have here.&lt;br /&gt;I can't give it a name but love. Another big question is whether she&lt;br /&gt;loves me too or not?! But I'm mostly not worried about that, not&lt;br /&gt;wanting something in return, may be that's the selfish side of my&lt;br /&gt;nature in some weird way... It so happens i tend to get frustrated at&lt;br /&gt;times to how oblivious she can be to some of the facts i try to tell&lt;br /&gt;her about me and sometimes about both of us, or maybe its just that i&lt;br /&gt;can't express my feelings for her more clearly - you see!? I did it&lt;br /&gt;again, the automated defense system i have for her, this is&lt;br /&gt;psychologically weird! I am, for the record, considered somewhat weird&lt;br /&gt;in my &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000660882" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_circle" title="Social circle" rel="wikipedia"&gt;social circle&lt;/a&gt; - enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000006c5e30" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustration" title="Frustration" rel="wikipedia"&gt;frustration&lt;/a&gt; arises rarely, but it does. It happens when i am&lt;br /&gt;usually trying to tell her or just simply tell her straight away i&lt;br /&gt;like her a lot. She normally replies with an honest attempt to respond&lt;br /&gt;either equally or to an emotional extent that I'm satisfied she has&lt;br /&gt;tried so. This is my observation and opinion. One may very reasonably&lt;br /&gt;wonder what is so frustrating about all this. Well, wait for it...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's not frustrating at the point anymore, it becomes frustratingly&lt;br /&gt;agonizing! I've told her so many times and she has noticed and asked&lt;br /&gt;me of it, that why do i become moody at times? She's also inquired me&lt;br /&gt;countlessly if she has ever bored me... Her innocence, you see!? How&lt;br /&gt;can someone i, supposedly, love bore me.. Back to the frustration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You see that she is too innocent, or at least i think she is. For her&lt;br /&gt;age and maturity, she does seem too good to be true. But either she is&lt;br /&gt;a gift from &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000c01646" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God" title="God" rel="wikipedia"&gt;God&lt;/a&gt; or else she's one helluva'n &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000004fbbc36" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor" title="Actor" rel="wikipedia"&gt;actress&lt;/a&gt;! At times i have&lt;br /&gt;felt that she's trying desperately to wind me up enough to just&lt;br /&gt;explode with my &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000001661c" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion" title="Emotion" rel="wikipedia"&gt;emotions&lt;/a&gt; for her and let her know how i feel, maybe&lt;br /&gt;that would give her an excuse for letting some of her own feelings&lt;br /&gt;out! Kinda playing the 'you started it first!' card... Maybe I'm wrong&lt;br /&gt;for the actress part... Maybe I'm right for the you started it first&lt;br /&gt;thing! She does seem innocent enough for it, and i also do have the&lt;br /&gt;tendency to snap at times. Who doesn't! She cried once because i was&lt;br /&gt;harsh to her, though her low B.P was in play but it does feel great,&lt;br /&gt;someone caring enough to cry for you...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is where it might get ugly. I mentioned earlier that i can be&lt;br /&gt;selfish, right? Hell that's even my e.mail, selflessly selfish! Maybe&lt;br /&gt;that's what i am! My frustration arises when she fails to return the&lt;br /&gt;compassion with which i address her, my agony rises when i feel this&lt;br /&gt;failure of hers, which, may or - very hopefully - may not be in her&lt;br /&gt;capacity, she has done so many times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All of this of course happens so during the time-line in which i am in.&lt;br /&gt;The one that includes her, too. Hence i continue to love her - before,&lt;br /&gt;after and during - all such times.. So i can't really dislike her,&lt;br /&gt;strike that, i can't dislike her at all if I'm in love with her! And i&lt;br /&gt;think I've already established the fact that I'm IN it with her, at&lt;br /&gt;whatever stage, IN whatever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've been writing in this particular post for quite some days now,&lt;br /&gt;maybe almost a week. Editing and changing it, adding newer thoughts&lt;br /&gt;every now and then whenever i feel up to it, kinda on the fly, as i&lt;br /&gt;have it on my &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone" title="Mobile phone" rel="wikipedia"&gt;cell phone&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So finally, I've decided that I'll edit this post no more and move on.&lt;br /&gt;She talked to me the other night, and said that she is totally OK with&lt;br /&gt;the decision her parents made for her better-half...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What more could i want!? Dunno, no idea..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;Sent from my mobile device&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=892fac68-8873-4225-b61c-29688c4f2c66" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related more-info pretty-attribution paragraph-reblog"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5755467745410228469-3196038403937036034?l=life-unzipped.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://life-unzipped.blogspot.com/2009/09/love-and-stuff.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (QWA)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3049/2832567352_82297cc286_t.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5755467745410228469.post-7834180102247129892</guid><pubDate>Sat, 29 Aug 2009 01:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-05T13:21:33.817+06:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Fairy tale</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Prisoner of war</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Federal Bureau of Investigation</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Social Sciences</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">FBI</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Psychology</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Jim Carrey</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Arts</category><title>Her majesty, Princess X!</title><description>&lt;p class="zemanta-img" style="margin: 1em; float: right; display: block; width: 136px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Jim%2BCarrey"&gt;&lt;img src="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/126/301258.jpg" alt="Jim Carrey" style="border: medium none ; display: block;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zemanta-img-attribution"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Jim%2BCarrey"&gt;Jim Carrey&lt;/a&gt; via &lt;a href="http://www.lasftm.com"&gt;last.fm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;For long have I pondered over nature's incomprehensible yet - there's&lt;br /&gt;no other word for it - B-E-A-utiful (as &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000097052" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000120/" title="Jim Carrey" rel="imdb"&gt;Jim Carrey&lt;/a&gt; would put it!)&lt;br /&gt;skill to create facial features and a stature so glamorous YET&lt;br /&gt;innocent, mature YET cute, and hearty, down-to-earth personality with&lt;br /&gt;the stubbornness of an Iraqi &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000031ff4" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner_of_war" title="Prisoner of war" rel="wikipedia"&gt;POW&lt;/a&gt; held in contempt by the &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000017c33" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation" title="Federal Bureau of Investigation" rel="wikipedia"&gt;FBI&lt;/a&gt; for&lt;br /&gt;information pertaining to the act of threatening of the nation's&lt;br /&gt;integrity and security.&lt;p&gt;Maybe its not nature's work I'm seeing here, maybe this is what &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000c01646" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God" title="God" rel="wikipedia"&gt;God&lt;/a&gt; is&lt;br /&gt;all about!

Now i may not be giving a very good &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000000b0ffc" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogy" title="Analogy" rel="wikipedia"&gt;analogy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;here, but there's no denying the fact that women are immensely&lt;br /&gt;difficult to get the hang of. And the last thing you need is one&lt;br /&gt;telling you to have a break of one month when the suspect in&lt;br /&gt;consideration has been talking to her fiance for the last couple of&lt;br /&gt;years... What brings such a drastic and sudden change in attitude of&lt;br /&gt;this particular case is not in my comprehension. But i can at least&lt;br /&gt;try to analyze the situation here and run a &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000003925a5" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_check" title="Background check" rel="wikipedia"&gt;background check&lt;/a&gt; on&lt;br /&gt;whether there is any possibility of getting to the bottom of the&lt;br /&gt;situation at hand by analyzing certain facts and past data... I'm&lt;br /&gt;making this sound like a problem in a competitive exam! Never mind the&lt;br /&gt;eccentricity of my analogies and lets get to the case.&lt;p&gt;How clear is the avoidance of the acceptance of the fact that she&lt;br /&gt;loves me. I say acceptance in the sense that she has never till date&lt;br /&gt;talked about LOVE, in any form. She does express her likeness for me&lt;br /&gt;and my personality often and on many occasions i've felt  passion in&lt;br /&gt;her words. I've even noticed feelings of longing and loneliness, but&lt;br /&gt;so rare are such moments that i still am getting used to some of her&lt;br /&gt;emotions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coming to her feelings, what i've felt in my two years of talking to&lt;br /&gt;her, pouring my daily life into words and letting her know of the&lt;br /&gt;mundane routines of life, is that she is a very touchy, sensitive, and&lt;br /&gt;at times stubborn, girl. One might think that being in a very&lt;br /&gt;responsible position of elder in her &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000006c865" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_%28biology%29" title="Family (biology)" rel="wikipedia"&gt;family&lt;/a&gt; and a loving daughter to&lt;br /&gt;her hard-working father would be a daunting task, considering she&lt;br /&gt;belongs to a - i shouldn't say - &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000dc0bb8" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_middle_class" title="American middle class" rel="wikipedia"&gt;lower middle class&lt;/a&gt; family of the&lt;br /&gt;urban area. Did i say daunting? Its excruciatingly painful at times,&lt;br /&gt;and i can imagine living a life full of hopes and wishes, only to&lt;br /&gt;dream of new hopes and wishes with the rising of every new sun..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Add to the already tough life depicted above the unofficial engagement&lt;br /&gt;of her's to her first cousin, she would definitely hope of big things&lt;br /&gt;from him. She would be hoping for a promising future and a supportive&lt;br /&gt;yet protective &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000a42dc7" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_partner" title="Life partner" rel="wikipedia"&gt;life-partner&lt;/a&gt;.

One starts posting and&lt;br /&gt;then keeps at it for a short period but as soon as there's a break in&lt;br /&gt;tempo of regular posting things tend to get lazy. Then there's also&lt;br /&gt;the &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000004119b" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog" title="Blog" rel="wikipedia"&gt;blogger&lt;/a&gt;'s block.&lt;p&gt;After all, there is no way that X isn't missing me, too! I wouldn't be&lt;br /&gt;blogging if it wasn't for X to abandon me...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;X once said I'm very possessive and demanding... But I'm honest and&lt;br /&gt;caring, too. Isn't that what relationships are supposed to be about?!&lt;br /&gt;About demanding a little affection and appreciation for the care and&lt;br /&gt;always positive attitude one has for the other..

Not quite sure what I am here for though. Maybe for spilling out some things that need to be spilled, or some other mundane reason that's incomprehensible by my distracted mind right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last few days have been average, I'd rather say I've had better days in my life. But then not everyday is a &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000003ba9f6" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundae" title="Sundae" rel="wikipedia"&gt;sundae&lt;/a&gt;, meaning to say that not every day can be the best one, or the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ffit&lt;/span&gt; one..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I often also think that these days I am tending to think a bit more towards the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;radicalism &lt;/span&gt;of life and its constituents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone has recently stopped talking to me. Not in a negative way, more like a break. I was thinking along the lines of the particular someone - &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;let's for convenience' sake we call this particular someone &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;X&lt;/span&gt; - being &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;bored&lt;/span&gt; maybe from us talking too much everyday on and on about the simple and ambient things in everyday life..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean...! Just imagine X telling me its inappropriate to talk to each other, when we have been doing this and much more over the past 2 years, that's &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;two long years!!&lt;/span&gt; And to say that we &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;may&lt;/span&gt;, imagine the cynical look on my face - wait, you can't so just imagine I thought of it as cynical -talk in a month or so is, well, tiring! What other word can I use here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, X's cruelness and vaguely stupendous remarks aside, right now I'm being &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Swept away&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;by &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Yanni.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That, and &lt;a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000014d830" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting" title="Fasting" rel="wikipedia"&gt;fasting&lt;/a&gt;, along with the pressure of financing two repeat subjects has bogged my mind a little these days.

But things have lately been either busy or not really interesting.&lt;br /&gt;So the last time I blogged, it was the day when the next day was &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Roger Federer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Federer" rel="wikipedia"&gt;federer&lt;/a&gt; vs &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Andy Roddick" href="http://www.andyroddick.com/" rel="homepage"&gt;roddick&lt;/a&gt; final - or should I call it the grand finale? - of wimbledon men's title. The match was expected to be one-sided, federer's obviously, but the all things were going so well for roddick that he never flailed with his serve and did't give federer a single break in the whole match - unless you are counting the championship break point...!! Roddick had the particpation in writing history that day, as federer became the single most accomplished genius at the game of &lt;a class="zem_slink" title="Tennis" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis" rel="wikipedia"&gt;tennis&lt;/a&gt; by winning 15 grand slam titles, a feat that surpasses Pete Samprass' 14 wins. So lives the legend of federer...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok I know that was a tad bit cheesy, but things go along this way with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anywho, next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px; HEIGHT: 15px" class="zemanta-pixie"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/8bc9989e-9f43-41f4-847e-730bf30225f5/"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM-STYLE: none; BORDER-RIGHT-STYLE: none; BORDER-TOP-STYLE: none; FLOAT: right; BORDER-LEFT-STYLE: none" class="zemanta-pixie-img" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=8bc9989e-9f43-41f4-847e-730bf30225f5" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5755467745410228469-7904073357804967386?l=life-unzipped.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://life-unzipped.blogspot.com/2009/07/results-for-blogger-add-ons-gallery.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (QWA)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5755467745410228469.post-5650397562717465344</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2009 05:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-05T01:00:08.349+06:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Grand Slam</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Roger Federer</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Sport</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tennis statistics</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tennis</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Andy Murray</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Andy Roddick</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">The Championships  Wimbledon</category><title /><description>&lt;p class="zemanta-img" style="margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; float: right; display: block; width: 310px; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Andy_Roddick.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Andy_Roddick.jpg/300px-Andy_Roddick.jpg" alt="Andy Roddick at the Legg Mason tennis tourname..." style="border:none;display:block" width="300" height="519" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zemanta-img-attribution"&gt;Image via &lt;a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Andy_Roddick.jpg"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.andymurray.com/" title="Andy Murray" rel="homepage"&gt;Andy Murray&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;lost&lt;/span&gt;!!! Gosh, I was so hoping for a contest final. Rodick winning, and a &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Federer" title="Roger Federer" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Federer&lt;/a&gt; vs. Rodick final is so anti-climatic of &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.4337444444,-0.214063888889&amp;amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;amp;q=51.4337444444,-0.214063888889 (The%20Championships%2C%20Wimbledon)&amp;amp;t=h" title="The Championships, Wimbledon" rel="geolocation"&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt;. Its all because of Nadal being unfit, physically. At least a Federer vs. Muray final at wimbledon would have been a dream final in a sense the the whole British nation's hopes for a british finialist shattered when Murray lost to &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.andyroddick.com/" title="Andy Roddick" rel="homepage"&gt;Roddick&lt;/a&gt; last night in a four-setter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd say it was a gr8 match played by both the players, but Murray could have done a lot better, giving away some very easy points at very crucial times in the match. But he's still young, and inexperienced. Compared to Roddick, he is a novice when it comes to experience. But Roddick's game-plan was so well-executed and he capitalized on almost every opportunity Murray gave him... Its sad to see Murray loose to be honest, I was cheering for Murray, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, it will be another fun final on sunday, Federer vs. Roddick, the couple have met quite some times during the past, three times in the wimbledon final actually. And as one can expect, with &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the ridiculous consistence of Federer&lt;/span&gt; (those are the exact words of Murray about Federer!), Roddick was beaten in all the three encounters by the living legend and has yet to win another &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_statistics" title="Tennis statistics" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Grand Slam title&lt;/a&gt;, apart from the lone &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.usopen.org/home/default.sps" title="2008 US Open (tennis)" rel="homepage"&gt;US-Open&lt;/a&gt; title he has from the early 2000's.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;div class="zemanta-pixie" style="margin-top:10px;height:15px"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"&gt;&lt;img class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=08ce5a9a-f851-4fa9-a558-a42fb5657b33" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" style="border:none;float:right" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5755467745410228469-5650397562717465344?l=life-unzipped.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://life-unzipped.blogspot.com/2009/07/image-via-wikipedia-andy-murray-lost.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (QWA)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5755467745410228469.post-6271140841316351741</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2009 05:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-04T11:50:55.329+06:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Wimbledon F.C.</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Roger Federer</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Sport</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Investment</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Wimbledon</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">England</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tennis</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Serena Williams</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">London</category><title>Gold and Tennis</title><description>am doing my research on Gold prices/rates behavior during the world &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis" title="Financial crisis" rel="wikipedia"&gt;economic crisis&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investment" title="Investment" rel="wikipedia"&gt;investment&lt;/a&gt; opportunities that both investors and traders can avail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the last time I was here I talked a bit about my tensions. They keep coming and going so I don't give too much crap about 'em. The thing is once you know that there is someone who will always listen to you, no matter how stupid your propositions and thoughts are, and no matter how dumb your ideas are, you can make through it. Not that I am implying that it is impossible to live through the everyday tensions without someone to listen to, will power comes in. But for those who have a lack of it, it helps. Not mentioning anyone in particular though, just some thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the other day I had another one of those days when I take the car out in a good mood and something bad enough happens to eff up the mood. I was &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving" title="Driving" rel="wikipedia"&gt;driving&lt;/a&gt; around the round-about and the excise department had its mobile-vans parked there. You'd think they won't stop you to check and do their job, letting you go as just another random guy/car as it happens everytime. But they did stop me, and turns out that my forefathers haven't paid the duty on this car for the last 4 years, that's around Rs. 4,500 !! So all I could do was to leave the &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration" title="Vehicle registration" rel="wikipedia"&gt;car registration&lt;/a&gt; with 'em and return back home to get my dad and listen to a long lecture of how he has been taking care of the car and nothing happens under his control of the car and so on and so forth... Not t mention the usual elephants!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So he paid-up and i dropped him back home. Done, back to enjoying the drive, what else could happen, right!? That is rhetorical, and as one can guess, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;WRONG!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line, I got fined for driving without a &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver%27s_license" title="Driver's license" rel="wikipedia"&gt;driver's license&lt;/a&gt; (my fault, I totally accept, but had it &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;had  &lt;/span&gt;to happen the day &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt; want to drive!!? &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;gimme a break will ya... Lord!&lt;/span&gt; ). Nothing bad happened after that, but didn't have to, it had been enough already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I got an angry, gives-no-crap, &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_supervisor" title="Research supervisor" rel="wikipedia"&gt;research supervisor&lt;/a&gt; - who couldn't live if it wasn't only for the word &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;crap&lt;/span&gt; itself.

Lazy ass clerical stuff! Anyhow, it didn't work out and received a text from a friend that the manager in-charge of appointing supervisors would decide it for me in a couple of days. That's that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Came back home. Watched a movie &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1230165/" title="Rock On!! (2008 film)" rel="imdb"&gt;Rock On!!&lt;/a&gt; - an &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_India" title="Cinema of India" rel="wikipedia"&gt;Indian movie&lt;/a&gt; about the breaking-up and re-union of a &lt;a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_ensemble" title="Musical ensemble" rel="wikipedia"&gt;rock band&lt;/a&gt; - in S (More about S later, too!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Aaaaand typing this blog now. Funny how one can... never mind.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I plan to pour my heart into this blog. Literally, my stories, my life, things that bother me, things that make me happy, &lt;i&gt;people&lt;/i&gt; that make me happy(-ier !?), and other stuff.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Later.&lt;/div&gt;      &lt;div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"&gt;&lt;a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/7cdc191e-8a73-4607-ba99-af277efb7066/" title="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]"&gt;&lt;img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=7cdc191e-8a73-4607-ba99-af277efb7066" alt="Reblog this post [with Zemanta]" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="zem-script more-related pretty-attribution"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js" defer="defer"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5755467745410228469-3267646021843273178?l=life-unzipped.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://life-unzipped.blogspot.com/2009/06/this-is-it-is-it.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (QWA)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
