rihanna aunty says...."please dont stop the music"

ahhh....music.....the lyrics, the harmony, the beats, the voice.......its food for the soul......its harmony for the ears.....its expression of the heart.....and solace for the mind!!...Has anyone imagined a life without music....i don't think I can....n i don't mean just songs...i mean the music which our life is composed of...from the rustle of the wind to the clatter of the keyboard keys....everything has a peculiar kinda feel to it..life would be dull without music is an understatement...i think it wouldn't exist....i'm sure everyone of us..no matter how bad we sing...have atleast once found ourselves humming some tune....be it conciously or unconciously......when i'm happy i sing...when i'm sad i sing....and mind you...i'm a really bad singer(and no i'm not being modest).....
i study with music playing in the background so i dont doze off...i work with music in my ears so i dont get bored....Music is such an essential that it almost comes right next the basics of life...don't agree???...try covering both your ears with your hands so that you dont hear a single sound...can u imagine a single day like that...let alone all your life??.....ofcourse not....
so hum along...and try finding music in the most unpleasant of sounds too..it might just help you handle the stress of life more easily....

Convenient LoVe

Alright...that was how the dictionary describes the word "love"...a word that is so common these days that its almost underrated...and perhaps under-valued too......so when you say you love a particular Mr. X or Ms. Y, you say you love a song, you say you love a celebrity, you say you love your dog......Do you actually realize the value of that small four letter word which has changed the world???
Contrary to the age of secret love letters and shy poetic romances, we live in the cyber-savvy world of e-cards and Facebook....and so our "love" has also evolved into a more convenient form of emotion.......we tend to love everything from our college to our friends to our favorite singer.....and we are proud of the fact that we do...we have no hassles in proclaiming that we love that guy or gal or movie or song or whatever the heck man!! you might hate our guts for it...but we just LOVE to love stuff..........
And coming back to the convinience aspect of it........ we've shortened love to "luv" or simply "lv", kisses and hugs have evolved into "mwah"s and "xoxo"s or those fabulous smileys >:D< and :-* but hey shortening stuff doesnt mean we love any less.....
You want to propose a gal?....no need to go down on your knees....send an e-card instead...you want to hug a friend who's 10 miles away?......send a virtual hug on Fb....out of words and dont know what to say?......just 'xoxo' your frnz...!!!and there you go....what easier way to express yourself and spread all that love and joy.....
But yeah dont let that virtual reality overpower the actual thing...a silly love poem that you sing to your lover and a bear hug that you envelop your friend in are those few things which cannot be replaced whatsoever...And for all the shy ones out there who don't know how to go about saying that you love someone......no worries....SMS texts, Emoticons and Superpoke are to the rescue!.......I'm sure you're already finding that cute guy next door on your social networking site....lol....
Take care people....XOXO ;)

Barbeque yourself to extinction !!!

GLOBAL WARMING.....the term is so common these days that it seems like an inherent part of our 'modern' lives....but how many of us actually understand the intensity of the disaster that we are creating for ourselves and the generations to come???....sea levels rising..ice caps melting...polar bears dying...islands sinking...ya we all know its happening somewhere...but we don't make any effort to do something against it because we don't live on an island and the polar bears are not our kin....!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE....its not just that part of the world that's getting affected by the big hole that we've created in the ozone layer...its happening in every nook and cranny of the world....its almost October here in Northern India and not a sign of the slightest of winters...summer heat is increasing daily...so are the number of air conditioners...so is the amount of CO2 emission...which in turn is increasing the heat.....whoa!!...who's going to break this endless cycle of ozone depletion??.....we can't wait for a law to pass that tells us how much electricity and water to waste....these resources are extremely scarce...especially in a developing country like ours....its we who have to put a stop ...we who need to realize the gravity of the whole scenario and take steps to do our little bit for Mother Earth...switch off your cars at red signals....keep up your AC temperatures to 24 degrees celcius...Plant trees.......don't keep your LCDs on standby mode.....don't waste water....Reuse Reduce Recylce......DO SOMETHING....otherwise we'll all rot in this barbeque of a planet which we're making out of our beautiful earth....Believe me.....Its the small things that actually matter......!!!

I'll miss my stranger

......its been almost a fortnight since you have gone...and it seems almost like an eternity since i last chatted with you.......you're such a **@#$#^&%^ u know.....taking off like that...without even saying a final goodbye....now who the heck do you think is gonna call me porky....yeah i know you're there somewhere...watching my every move...reading this and laughing your ass off and getting senti at the same time......saying "tu toh bahut frustu hai boss"'........

~~~~i'll miss you dufus~~~~

i write this post to commemorate my dear dear friend Aishvarya...who passed away on the unfateful night of 09/09/09....he died due to an asthma attack....a death which could have been very well prevented if not for the unkempt status of JNU, the university where he studied....JNU was his dream...a dream that cost him his life.....a dream that he could not live.....i feel our late mentor Jawaharlal Nehru would be dissapointed if not disgusted to have such a pathetically disorganized institution in his namesake.......this world has lost an ace engineer...a gem of a person....a genius in the true sense of the word....and i have lost one of my best friends.....a loss too deep to be put down in words...in the strictest sense of the term, he was a "stranger" to me...having never met him niether talked to him....but the 5 years of occasional chatting online had developed a bond strong enough to bring tears to my eyes at the very thought of not hearing from him again.....a fact which i still haven't been able to reconcile with.....i've learnt a lot from him.....things which may sound immaterial...but are precious to me........now that he is gone, its only those fond memories which i can keep alive and cherish forever........if i could say my last words to him.....i'd thank him for the innumerous times he has been my confidant, my advisor, my jester, my buddy and my dufus...........
In his memory....I'd like to quote the lyrics of one of his favourite songs.....

And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...

acknowledgements....

finally.... after a boring session of checking available names for my blog...i ended up with "thoughtdefiner".....courtesy my friend tanvi .....who in turn devised it from her "eye definer" kohl which she was holding that time.......that's how we tend to work spontaneously....by the way this is my first ever blog....so i'm wanting to acknowledge a few friends who have been coaxing me into making one.....its due to their inspiration and my intense boredom and "all the time in the world to idle away" that this blog has culminated.......so for anyone reading this....this one is not going to be a thought provoking column.....its just a boring person writing her boring thoughts because shez gettin bored......BORED Already????!!!......well you asked for it.....thankyou and sorry to all the people whom i'm gonna force into reading whatever i write...even if its total crap.....and thankyou to all my english language teachers..(especially Mrs. Edwards...my KG teacher ^-^)...who have taught me enough to write a decent piece of absolute nonsense..........
so 'happy reading' people........don't forget to post your comments.....
ciao
