On the other side..

P.S.: I am not referring to the short movie "On the other side"


It always looks better. The other side, the grass on the other side. Not just the grass, also the food on the neighbor's plate, your friend's car, your boss's secretary, your friends job and the list can go on and on!


Till yesterday evening, I used to believe "The grass is always greener on the other side" ..but what followed after dinner completely changed my perspective. "The grass is always greener and harder on the other side".



We all take so much for granted. It is always difficult to be content with your current    situation, to be able to resist the temptation of what others have requires a hell lot of dimaagi santulan!


It's not only the two legged species who have this issue, it happens with canines. Feed one..feed another..you'll find the 1st canine leaving his share and attacking the 2nd one's share first! Just to be able to get a bite of that interdicted food on the other side (that may just look so much tastier).


Anyways, coming to the point..It was the time to play the role of a HR personnel(HR :O have I gone mad?) as it was the round 2 Finaholics recruitment - Group Discussion . Dumb fishes barking like anything.  There were a few who can be called as "andho mei kaana raja" but still they remain DUMB!


Listening to their views on ice breaker topics like "A pink pyjama on top of red fort"  or "Premarital sex" or "twinkle twinkle little stars" or "And the clock struck 13" ..had me rolling on the the floor! Had there been a translucent glass in between the panel and the group, I am sure the complete panel would have been "literally" doing ROFL!


The most interesting group was "Premarital sex" ..girls going crazy and boys blushing! Suggesting what..how..where? And to my surprise they managed to link it with economic development..specifically the hotel and condom industry! The panel, Sheesha..Harry..Spocky..all stunned and me LMAO! I love this group.


The beautiful topic "The Last few lines" ..was turned into an obituary! Panel members.. R.I.P! :(


It's always easier to say that grading a GD is not a big task..but honestly speaking it is!  Grading any group is not a child's play(HR ppl...respect). Paying attention to all those fishes(7 in group) and noticing those 5-6 parameters is TOUGH esp. in a span of 15mins!


The other side is tough..harder even though it is greener (after all you can use variety social networking tools..if you are on a panel :) )

Between odds and the ones!

It's odd how those who were complete strangers are the ones who are now the best buddies It's odd how those who never expressed their feelings while they were together are the ones who end up becoming a couple It's odd how those who show me the highest love  are the ones who expresses it the least in words It's odd how those who express the love in words  are the ones who end up hurting the most It's odd how those who botched up every damn thing are the ones who make you feel chagrined It's odd how those who plead for mercy, pardon are the ones who deserve it the least It's odd how those who are always smiling and make you smile are the ones who have overcome many griefs It's odd how those who have been through many griefs/heartbreaks are the ones who can always overcome the pain Probably, It's odd because everything can be related to time and space.. But for me, It's odd because I don't think its odd!(o

Ramblings Again!

Consider a situation where you are signing a pact with  chariness, lack of authenticity and selfishness. You might ruin, in fact poison the relationship even before laying the foundation stone. People with whom you are dealing with will have a hard time in the face of your  incredulity, they won't be disputed to rise to your level of expectations. Over the years, I've learnt one thing. O ne should prefer concentrating on the goodwill of mortals who are doing work with you. No matter what you do, where you go, you are bound to encounter those handful of people who will try their very best to disappoint to you but eventually you'll understand that is their sole purpose of life. One thing, which I've understood during PG course is the importance of an open mind and an open heart but that just increases the vulnerability.  Maybe, one should give others a chance to live up to our trust and others should not be on a hunt to try to cultivate trust in spite of knowing

And here it is..Century!

So, the day has arrived. Finally! 100th post of my blog. I struggled with what should be the milestone post! Should it be prolific? Idealistic in nature. Broad in scope. So, I struggled. Back in 2007, few of my friends were bitten by the bug of blogging. Somehow, I managed  to spend one complete year, protecting myself from being bitten by this bug. But then, in 2008, my immunity gave in and I was affected by it. Over the years, I've seen myself maturing and its direct impact is visible in my posts. What started as a fun filled blog illustrating some of the interesting incidents of my under graduation, recipes which I used to cook(I don't have a kitchen now, only 3-4 outlets to survive apart from the mess where I hardly eat) to feelings which I used to pen down, now contains rants, poems, videos, pictures and not to forget articles. I had almost given up blogging last year but this year I started again. There was this intense drive from within to go on writing and
