Chaand Bhi Dekha
Phool Bhi Dekha
Baadal Bijli Titli Jugnu
Koi Nahin Hai Aisa
Tera Husn Hai Jaisa
Meri Aankhon Ne Chuna Hai Tujhko Duniya Dekhkar
Kiska Chehra Ab Main Dekhoon
Tera Chehra Dekhkar
Simple is it yet the conveyed emotion feels complex.
Simple conundrum :)
I am amazed when the most simplest of words
come together to convey the most complex a feeling.
Words often fail me, I know.
Yet many choose them to potray their feelings.
But I can't potray my feeling. I just cant :-)
But the day I gauge the true essence of words,
I will cease to say that words are redundant.
They wont fail me ever.
I will convey myself to me.
Is it needed? Why do you care :)
Adios,

The Sukhatme Twin Towers ...
2007 was quite an eventful year. I started pursuing my Masters. In the due course made friends for life, learnt some lessons for life, became a better person and the list goes on. Come 2008, I was heading towards completing my masters degree and being a post graduate. But the most awaited event of 2008 was undoubtedly visiting the 'Twin Tower'.
I know United States lost their Twin Towers in 2001 and it was a wordly loss but my family got their 'personal' twin tower in 2007 in the form of Sukhatme Twins, Rajan and Tejas. The cynosure of Prajakta and Kedar Sukhatme's eyes :)
Before I start writing about them I must tell you all that these boys are real figters. Born when they were just 26 weeks old, they have fought the odds and survived and boy these guys have grown up to be such sweethearts :)
It is quite a pity that I got to meet my nephews only after such a long time. But like they say, better late than never.
The boys have pretty much kept me so happy in my short vacation that any words describing my happiness would sound redundant. What is so peculiar about them is that they are as much like each other as diametrically opposite ..
Rajan, I call him a funny guy. He is unintentionally so hilarious. The way he says 'uh oh' each time he attempts to do something 'forbidden' is just so cute. His face lits up with a 1000 watt smile when someone agrees to pick him up and his energy is so palpable. Today a funny incident happened with Rajan. He was looking behind at me and running forward and bang he goes into the wall. I thought 'thats it'. He is going to sink the world with this tears now but Rajan being the funny guy, turned back, looked at me and goes..' uh Oh' :D I cant say he is inquisitive because that doesnt do justice to his interests in things. Rajan redefines the word 'inquisitive'. I love him totally :)
Tejas, I call him the bholu ram and my cousin calls him Smarty Jones B-) .. Oh yea he definitely looks like a dude. His shy smile Im sure is going to give all the hollywood starkids a run for their money. Tejas is also the parrot of the Sukhatme family. Pretty much imitating everything and anything that we say in his childlike babble. Heard of Momma's boy may be but ever heard of Dadda's boy.. If not then here is an example. Tejas Sukhatme, I feel, is a complete Dadda's boy :) He is very tech savy unlike Rajan. You cant fool Tejas with a dysfunctional TV-remote .. He is smarter than you think he is :) and a complete darling for being such a non-fussy eater. Once you make him sit on his high chair with food he wouldnt get restless until he is full. My smarty jones is a sweetheart because he is such a charmer. Has managed to woo his Maasi with his dance moves already. I love him a lot :)
Life without kids may be good. But with them it seems complete. And when you have two such kids, Rajan and Tejas, it just adds more meaning to life.
Peace

Change of template ..
I visited my profile.. saw the black background and the white font .. got bored.
I think I need some colors in here.. I went thru the templates... didnt quite like any.. Thought the one that I have it on right now.. is comparatively better than the other ones ...
If any of my blogger friends can help me choose, I would be more than grateful.. If not then get used to it guys :)
Adios !!!

Funny as it may sound...
Today I visited my blog profile after many days. I had this sudden urge of writing something. What, I really dont know.
Funny as it may sound but I still feel there are umpteen things my mind wishes to pen down defeated only by my will to not pen them down or may be worse .. I just dont know .. May be Im falling short of words :)
Funny as it may sound but my friends always thought I can manage to pretty much convey anything and everything(how correct and effective my communication is, I seldom know).. but today Im here sitting in front of the computer trying to figure out .. how should I communicate what I feel to myself.. * chuckles*
Funny as it may sound.. but I feel I should just go sleep.. despite my mind and body feeling too fresh for any nap..
Baah... guess I should just log off...
So..Adios !!!

Expectations
I am in my computing lab currently. Just had a brief conversation with my research guide.
I am feeling content ever since my professor and I have had a conversation about our research work.
The reason why I am content is because of the expectations my professor has from the research that my colleague and I are working on.
To think about it more logically I don't understand why most people including me crib at times about the work that we are supposed to do. 99.99% of the times I am certain you are assigned a particular job because you have the expertise and the intellectual aptitude to deliver more than 'expected'. And in case you think you lack both... then you have the determination to get things to a closure.
God...suddenly I feel, expectations are so goddamn good, professionally I mean :D
Not that I was oblivious to all this but at times we really are so easy on ourselves. We just want the shortest way out. Suddenly this thought is pinching me :)
My professor made a statement ..' We may have worked very little had we been mentored by someone else in our research. But more than work I(our professor) want you to feel that you have achieved something at the end of this course'.... Crystal clear. He made us work, re-work, read stuff we did not understand, compelled us to create an understanding and at times liking too(pssst) ...
but thinking of it in retrospect, all the effort has been worth it. I am sure we have learnt a lot. I may not be able to quantify what I learnt. But Im certain there has been qualitative improvement in my thought process.
Frankly it is all a game of perspectives. It all depends on you. How you want to percieve the work at hand. A challenge or burden. If it is the former for you, you grow and progress. And if it is the latter not that it would stunt your growth but certainly affect how effectively you progress.
In conclusion I feel it is good that people expect from me. It speaks volumes about my work and ability to deliver. Im glad I have the right perspective.

...
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like a volcano and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconcievable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
