The other day i was watching this sitcom called "How I Met Your Mother" (for somene who dont know what this is about, its nothing like what you think it could be.Its a comedy in which a guy (Ted Mosby) tells his kids (who are teenagers) in the year 2030, about how he met their mother(his wife). Its AWESOME, you should check this out) in which Ted Mosby(played by Josh Radnor) while telling his kids about one of his stories in the past, reminds them how they have drawn Robin Schrebatsky (played by Cobie Smulders)(whom once Ted dated but basically is a very good friend of his,also the kids call her aunt Robin. Again people its not like in India where you call your neighbours aunt and uncle. In US aunt and uncle means you are related) in their drawings when they were little. Thats particular made me think about something. I've made many a friends in my whole life (you probably already know that, if you know me very well or go through my orkut profile). Some of them are just aquaintances and some of the are very good friends. Some of them are even what people call as "BFF". I wonder if that phrase really make any sense. Am i gonna be really friends with those people for my entire life. Am i gonna be so good a friend with them that my kids call them uncle/aunt, and draw their pictures in their art class. Because i hardly heard any elder people (who are atleast one generation ahead of us) mention about their childhood friends in their stories or their experiences or someone whom your father or mother or neighbours mention saying "ooh i miss that guy/girl". It doesnt mean that i dont want to be BFF to anyone. I am so glad that i made friendship with all you people. I wish and hope that this friendship stays forever. I really really wish that ATLEAST one of you would be so close to me my entire life that my kids call uncle/aunt and draw your picture in their art class.

Being THE BEST IN THE WORLD
Everyone wants to be somebody, achieve something, Win something etc. So do I. Most of you may already know my DREAM of being an ASTRONAUT and some of you very close to me know about me wanting to win a NOBEL PRIZE and some of you very very close to me and who do pay attention at what i am saying and remember to that know about my goal of WINNING an OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL FOR INDIA. But yesterday i wanted to something else or someone else.
Yesterday (09/09/07) the FINAL day at the US Open tennis tournament 2007, Roger Federer
add yet another GRAND SLAM to his name making his tally to 12. The announcer (dont know the name of the guy) described him as "the best human to lift a tennis racquet ever" and without doubt he most definetly is THE BEST. That speech was really great and for the first time i realized how extraordinary it would be. It made me want to THE BEST in THE WORLD at something or the other, something good, may be at something which is helpful to MAN/WOMANKIND. I maynot become an astronaut or maynot become a nobel laureate or an olympic gold medalist but one day i will definetly become THE BEST IN THE WORLD at something or the other. I make this promise to all those people who care about me, all the people whom i have known, who have known me and also to myself.
I hope and wish that happens.

Flicka
The following is Narration is from the Film Flicka...... I so loved it and i thought i would share it with you.This film is actually taken from a Novel called "My Friend Flicka" by "Mary O'Hara".Here is how it goes - (narrated by a 15 year old girl)
"I live on the top of the world.In the never summer mountains of Wyoming.8000 ft closer to the sky.In my mountains, when the Spring comes to save me from a Perpetual Winter,the World comes to Life again.And i remember what it is i am here for.I am the only daughter in a long line of Ranchers.When we let our horses out for the first time in the Spring,i love to watch them rediscover the world,i can see in them, an expression of my own restless spirit.Charged with an appetite for adventure, they take to the land without hesitation.They are PURE POWER.When i see them running wild and free, i often think of the first horses and how they were the true pioneers of America.................................."
The movie begins with the above narration....... and ends with the following.
".................................I believe there is a Force in thie world which lives beneath the surface.Something primative and wild that awakens when you need an extra push just to survive,like wild flowers that bloom after fire turns the forest black.Most people are affriad of it, and keep it inside themselves.But there will always be a few people who have the courage to love what is untained inside us.One of those men is my father.There is once a time when americans came west to discover their destiny,today they seem to move around everywhich where restless and unsettled.But i think they are still looking for the same thing.A place which makes them feel optimistic about the furture,a place that helps them be what they want to be,so they can feel that this life makes sense,the place where they can feel,what i feel when i'm riding Flicka.Because when we are riding, all i feel is...... FREE."
By the way, Flicka means "Young Innocent Girl" in Swedish.

My Happy Place
Today while i was coming back from the School, as usual on the Subway,i was listening to this song called "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack which reminded me of a Certain Episode from "Dawson's Creek" which had a Phrase called "Happy Place".Thats made me think, what is My Happy Place.
My Happy Place would be My Grand Ma's Place(a difficult choice to make, but i think this would be on the top or all).It's a Small village called Atchuthapuram on the East coast of Southern India, with a population of may be 600 tops. All my childhood (that would be till my 10th grade), i used to spend my summers there, right from the month of April till June. Reasons for it to be on the top would are many. A few of them would be sweet and caring people as half the population are related to me, lovely climate, all we had to do was nothing but eat and play ALL DAY. Back in the day when all of the relatives had nothin but love to share among themselves, it was fun to meet cousins once in a year and aunts and uncles who are so happy that visited. The Climate made the place more happier.Though it was summer, it was hardly HOT most of the time.The evenings was majorly cool.And at times, the conditions used to be over cast, with cloud covering up the sky so think that you could actually hear an echo ( this is my most favourite kind of weather).We used to scream at the top of the voice and compete as of whose voice would echo for long.And when it starts to pour down, we ran on the huge open grasslands,getting drenched in the drizzle, until our parents/grand parents/etc would shout at us to come back into the house.And when we come back, we made these paper boats and sailed them along the small water canals which ran along the outside of the outerwalls of the houses, which are made of mud.
During those days Eating,Playing and ocasional studying was the WHOLE WORLD. No egos, no selfishness, no back stabbing, no jealousy, nothing.I miss being Naive and Happy and everything but an Adult.May be thats what makes that my Happy Place and those my Happy Days.
I feel everyone should have a Happy Place and they should visit it often, if not Physically , Mentally.Hope you Realize What your Happy Place is.......Sooner if not Later.

Choices
Life is full of them.Somtime its good to have them and most of time its not, or it just me that i am not able to make good out of them. Having Choices is one hell of a responsibility.Some of you may think i am reading your mind while you go through the following blog, some of you may think i am too imatured to write something like this.
Choice is like having a Right, Because as along with every right comes a duty, along with every Choice comes a responsibility.I choosing between something would be so difficult untill i had total freedom.Untill very recently(3-4 years ago) most of the decisions for me were made by my parents.Though some of the decisions were against my will, i had to follow them, as you know with the whole respeting parents and stuff.But lately, it has been the case that i have to make my own deicions and choose between the various possibilities like...... Should i go for a PhD (which is not so easy) as a step towards acheiving my childhood dream of being an Astronaut or should i take up a Job and lead a simple life while serving the people around me in the way in can.I so wanna be an Astronaut ever since i was what 10, but then i think....how much good can i do to the world being an Astronaut. And then comes the Love life..... should follow what my heart says..... i.e. not to get over someone whom i truely love....... or should i be practical and try and get over her.... find someone else (like thats gonna be easy) and go out with her or marry her or whatever and hurt her feelings bcos i cant love her more than the one i love now........
Some real tuff choices to make haan??......
Anyways this is something which has been runnig in my mind for quite a while now...... just wanted to get it out.... if not to a person.... i thought why not on a blog.... anyways i am not gonna advertise it... so i hope no one reads it....
