Radio Stalking

It's nothing new for me to travel the Indian Railways... I do it everyday. I spend 3 hours on a regular basis when I have to go to college. It's somehow unusual for me to listen to radio though. I always have my tiny music player that keeps me happy everyday. I just can't live without listening to music. I need those beautiful compositions made my these wonderful and talented people all around the world. Somehow, one day, the battery went flat as I had not charged my player.So I thought of connecting my earphones to my cell phone. I was in a mood of some desi beats.. So I tuned into some radio channel. I was happy for the fact that there was my favoriate movie soundtrack playing.So I thought of sticking to the radiochannel. I was also happy to get a window seat in the train. The wind is finely making its way through the metal grill and kissing my face. I am loving it. I just wished the train was empty so that I could dance to my favouriate tunes.

All of a sudden, I saw a girl who's around my age..Let's say 20 or so.. who's sitting in front of me. I saw her lip syncing to a song. Oh My God.. It was the same song that I was listening to. It was unusual for me. Normally, I haven't ever thought of someone listening to some music that I listen to when there are like so many other channels. Anyway, I was in my own world.

The song got over and Ads hanuted the radio channel. It gets a little irritating when you want to listen to some music and you get people talking to you over the radio asking you to buy some kind of useless stuff. Considering, I am a massmedia student, its my responsibilty to actually study these ads. Who cares.. At times, I want to do what I want to. So I changed the channel. Got hold of someother song.Precisely then, I saw the girl humming and singing the same song I was listening to. It was freaky. So I thought of changing it. AGAIN.. She changed the channel, it was like she could go through my radio channels and wanted to listen to what I was listening to. She looked at me once.. and smiled.. Hehe. ok. now.. I was like What is this girl upto. She was listening to exact same songs I was listening to.

Does this ever happen?

It just took me by surprise. I was a fun time. I was amused so I played like a tiny game of lets guess what she's listening to and what Channel am I on.. So now I started Radio Stalking her. It kept me busy. It's fun. One should do this sometimes...

It's FUN!

RADIO STALKING...

Ting Ting Ti-Ding...

Just because I'm losing, Doesn't mean I am lost...

I just love the way this song goes about. I was not a fan of Coldplay until this song got into me... Coldplay is awesome. There's something about the band, just like anyother fan of the band would agree to me. I don't know why but whenever I listen to the songs by this gorgeous band, I just feel like my life is complete. I get a ray of light. This song really does mean a lot to me. Whenever I feel low, I listen to all kinds of music. My music player is always on random mode, but somehow, this song always makes an appearance. I just love listening to it.

Even YELLOW, it's soo damn good. Oh I wish, sometimes, I had Coldplay in my pocket, I could ask them to play these songs for me anytime.

I don't know why am I typing all of this. But I just feel good. It's never that I am so depressed. I just get the motivation to do something. This time I felt like putting it down on this virtual wall, where I could just express and make others feel the same way.

This is just like a tribute to them.

So, Coldplay.. Here you go..

Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you...!

:)

I always have a smile on my face. Right now, I am SMILING...

ROLLERCOASTER!!!

It has been such a rollercoaster ride for me. Past 6 months have taken me for a ride to a different place altogether. The place where you lose yourself and come back as a different person altogether. These few weeks have been so twirling. I left the place where I loved to work and got where I loved to study ... atfirst struggled with my admissions, met the crazy old man, did the assignments, went for a shoot etc... it never ended. I worked and studied. I had to put a stop to something, had to be my internship. So sadly i had to leave that place. The place where everyday was a great learning experience, more than that the responsibilty and the trust that people and colleagues built up for me. Being respected for who i am and what i work.

anywy, caught my facourite tv show so .. i guess this turned out to be a rollercoaster reading experience for YOU! :)

cheers,

Me = College + Fun + Work + Fun + LIFE!

It's always been that have been a fun person all the while. A lazy ass to work and very lazy to make an effort. Off lately all of this sounds a little Unlike me for now. Maybe cause I got an internship. I never expected to intern at someplace which I wanted to. There were a few things in my to-do list and one of them was intering for a music channel, I thought, It's just another crazy thought.Well, here I am sitting in my office WORKING, Enjoying and happy with my life. This is exactly the kind of life I wished for. A good Internship/job with a good college . Though at times , college gets a little hard as work gets a little more harder. There's one thing I can't do No matter whatever I try to do. Its so ODD. I can't be puntcual . Even though, I leave an hour in advance I end up Reaching LATE. I can't evenjustify cause then it'll just be like another excuse ...
Anyway, With the good comes the bad. You can't really avoid. What I can avoid right now is some pressure on me ! There's not much around to be tensed up but you never know what's there in store for you. Anyway, I am happy for one thing, people appreciate me for who I am. Then, my photography has taken a lil break. I hope I catch up ...

Till then... I use my mind. CLICK CLICK .. i am missing My Click!!!

To Uran And Back ALONE... Sounds Fun!!!

It was a very important decision for me to make. I had to choose between birds and friends. Well, I thought since I meet my friends regularly lets so meet the friends who have arrived migrating from other regions. Well, It was A sunday it all happened... I had pre planned to go bird watching to Uran With W.C.N.C members. I thought lets go ...So i woke up at around 4.30.. and met these people at dadar by 6. First time in my life, I was on time! :) I was really charged up in the morning as we took a Bus from Dadar to Uran. We were 11 of us and all were a mixed group who had come for birdwatching.
We were in the Super luxurious vibrator bus which never stopped moving and giving us pains whenever we tried resting ourselves on its seats. We were almost there... Till then we realised.. We Had almost been there and we skipped 2 stops from the point where we were about to stop. Hmm.. We had to walk back a long way so we geared up! Ha HA.. you think so.We had come for bird watching. The place where the bus left us also made sure we would see stick around there... Cause we saw a lot of birds. Right from the Famous COMMON CROW to Kingfisher, Herons, Red Vented Bulbul, Koyals, Magpie Robin and so on! The spot was so engaging we forgot we had a long way to make. I was really Hesitant of moving on from that place. The weather was perfect and the soft bright light was Sparkingly amusing for me ...I guess that's why the birds loved to be there... To say the Sun Hi ...Well, I was in the mood for having fun. We reached JNPT the place where we would apparently bird watch.. But we were at the wrong place... From one bus to another, we reached the state highway and were left stranded with out any birdig sights. We couldn't even ask anyone around cause there was no one around. Poof, There goes our birding down the drain. All of a sudden we see herds of flamingoes a little far away from where we stood. We couldn't go there. So we thought of going to a bus stop ... But , no one knew where it was...! Well, then what?


LIFT... Few of us stood in front of the vehicles on the highway for lift..Thankfully, A Mahindra PIK-up Truck picked us up and we all were happpppy...! It was fun taking a lift and on the road on your own. I felt liberated and free... As the wind was getting stronger my Heavy thoughts flew away and my head was empty.. I was high on life. We reached a bus stop.. Had GARAM ELAICHI CHAI. It was yummy. Till the time we decided what to do now? we saw a bus going to Panvel Which would take us to Karnala which has a bird sanctuary + trekking Free!!! Hmm sounded great. WE skipped the plan of birding at uran. Took The 3rd bus now.. I was sitting in the cabin near the driver's seat. It was fun again. I could see the Road lines going underneath the bus as it caught up speed! I Didn't know why, but i was extremely happy about life. Got all my positive energy back and i was fullly loaded to explore on my own. Well, couldn't do that then. When we reached Panvel Due to some reasons i had to head back home. So i caught a Bus to dadar from there. Few from the group came to drop me. And i was on my own. The whole bus journey made me realise i did all this ie: changed 3-4 buses, caught a train, saw birds, walked , hitchiked in just a matter of 4 hours. SOmething struck me...
I asked my self i can do so much in the given little time Why was i wasting it on doing something i don't want to. Well, Then i realised times never a problem for not doing work ITs your mind. You should always have a healthy mind to do any kind of work.
Let it be anything! I just loved the whole journey back cause i caught up on myself...
And i spotted Yet another ... COMMON CROW! :)

Candle MARCH in December!!!

It's just been so long I feel that I haven't really gone out done something which makes me feel good. I had been to the peace rally on 3rd dec. Me along with my friends had put up a rally ... we walked from my college ie; Wilson college to the Gateway of India . It was kind of unusual and not so regular , this time we took a pluck card it said "one month from now, would you still CARE?"
That's it. It was more than enough to carry one ! It created a huge reaction! People on going used to just look at it and make an expression of they know what'll happen... We walked quitely and a few were discussing the whole issue of politics and leaders and all that. I am never into these conversations , I prefer walking by and observing the peoples expression. For the first time I saw Marine Drive's path empty, not literally, there were people sitting but not to a large extent. We walked and walked , each one of us was searching for some seriousnes... SERIOUS seriousness.
We reached the gateway but couldn't go there! There were herds of people around and the whole way was blocked. We first met Anand who gave us these pamphlets to distribute. It was about getting the reaction converted into a thought .. process it and then into an action.
Many people react in a very angrered way, the aim was not to get angry and talk about other faults. It was to respond to what's happening around. The candle march seemed to be a huge success. There were many kinds of people. Many like me ... many who were aggressive , obnoxious, angry, peace loving, demanding... Overall, every single step that I took towards the GATEWAY, the motive behind walking for it was changing. There were groups of people who blamed other countries and all , it was Harsh and real ugly. Few rallies wanted to make peace and all that, a few wanted re - ellection and a new leader, few wanted justice. All were there, screaming out loud and yelling on top of their voices, a few had just come to see the crowd!
Well, we walked in groups of 4 and I got seperated from my group. I got done with my work so I decided to walk back and there I saw the Pluck card which We had carried. Disha was holding that in betweent he road and I realised that was simply amazing. I deciced to join Disha and Vallari... the three of us just stood there holding the card and without and expression. Ongoing people were giving it a look, they read it... " one month from now, would you still care?"
A few responded positively and a few faced the truht by simply nodding their heads.
It started getting chaotic so we decided to leave.The card had its own purpose to be seen so we stood on the footpath opposite REGAL and stood there. The response was AMAZING. Many came clicked a picture of it , few people actually stood by and talked to us about the matter!!!
I never really got the whole idea behind the Peace March because, firstly, what was happening there was not peace for sure. And, no one actually wanted peace. Everyone just wanted to be a part of it!
The whole rally was responseful but some how meaning and motive coudln't be found.
I guess, it got lost somewhere...
Somewhere in between the Crowd !!!

no sleepy no more!

Last night I slept a little early compared to other nights , I slept at 12! I was trying to get some sleep simply because I have my college the next day and I didn't intend to bunk it simply cause these days I just love going to college. Its a new place for me (considering my attendance is low and gotta attend to be admitted , lol!) and I LOVE the atmosphere. Anyway, so I went off to sleep set an alarm at 6 and z z z z zz zz z...
ALARM!!!
phew... I woke up and realized I have late lectures so I thought I'd go back to sleep. Closed my eyes. They opened! I was too tired from my cycling trail yesterday. Wondered if my legs and body wanted to rest. I could feel the tired legs but still I just couldn't go off to sleep . So I thought of a better idea. Early morning dosage of the Hole in the wall which has WINDOWS( my pc)! I turned it on and was just going through these social websites and its actually funny to look at a few profiles ! LOL... I am gone mad in the morning maybe I am morning high! But, i simply couldn't stop laughing!
that's the way my life wants to give me laughter.... A compulsary laughter!
Then I suddenly looked out of my window and there were 2 sparrows on my grill ...SO cute I looked at them! They were cuddling , I though they were cuddling instead they were fighting! DAmn these birds also fight!?!
I never thought of a reason why birds fight-for food -yes! but neither of them had anything!
anyway... it wasnt entertaining me, so i shooed them away! :)
And started blogging!
