But I have noticed one thing: Having fun while shopping requires friends, or a friend at the least. If you ask me, I prefer a friend. At the same time, though, you need someone with somewhat similar tastes. I mean, one day I went shopping with someone (I shall keep 'the someone' anonymous out of fear that he/she reads this blog.) and that someone saw something (once again anonymous because the someone will be able to tell who he/she is if she finds out what we bought/didn't buy) and said "Oh my God! It's so pretty!" [yes, now we have identified that the someone is a she...yet I shop only with Shes so no one can tell. *evil laugh*] and there I was thinking that the thing she pointed at was positively ghastly.
On the other hand, shopping with someone who, you feel, has the sense of taste in comparison to... a fish maybe, can end up being a good thing! If you and your friend, who, lets keep, has the same tastes as you do, find something and both want it, it turns out to be a problem. Just hope that the shop has a similar thing for the other one who didn't get the product!
I have NO idea of why I wrote this. Hey, I was bored and wanted to write something!

When you think no one understands,
When you want to sit in a dark corner
And cry your eyes out,
When you realise you're all alone,
When you think no one cares,
When you feel left out,
When your "friends" forget you,
When you want to hurt yourself,
When you feel frustrated
And want to break something,
When everyone disregards you,
When they promise things
And never stick to the promises,
When they say they miss you
But actually don't, even if they think they do,
When they don't realise your helpfulness,
When they insult you when they should be insulted,
When you know they owe you but you keep quiet,
When you smile on the outside and cry deep inside,
When they can't see your pain,
When they think it's ok for you to be sad
Just this one time,
When you cant explain yourself,
And that you'll 'get over it',
When you speak sweet words
But hate yourself for it,
When they lie through their teeth,
When they have more time for others,
When they make remarks about you,
When they cry to you and dont give anything back,
When they think you're their number one fan
And don't return the favour,
Just wait for the next day
And just think...
You're not the only one,
Some others do understand,
Crying isn't a sin,
You're not all alone,
There are people who care,
You haven't been left out,
You have no choice,
If they are friends,
Why would they forget you?
Hurting yourself is not an option,
Frustration should be let out
With a large BANG! or a scream,
And that people make mistakes,
People forget,
People are forgiving,
People DO care,
Your helpfulness is a gain to you,
Insults are a whole different story,
Giving is better than taking,
Happiness is your hobby,
If you can't explain, don't,
Just as long as you understand,
Sweet words cause a great difference,
As long as YOU'RE telling the truth...,
Be happy that they have SOME time for you,
Just take in the remarks and don't fire back,
Giving a shoulder to cry on is better than wetting another,
They're not the only people in your life.
Just realise how much you have.
And if none of this works, cry.

Nirvana:
Crazy bunch! With their noisy guitars and loud drums, this band is right now on the top of my list. Krist Novoselic, Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl. Three crazy guys. True, I've never met them but as far as music goes, they've done bloody well, whatever people say about their music being 'noisy' and 'senseless'. Humph. You're senseless not to like it!
Metallica:
Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo. People should understand why these guys are among my favourites list. They're music is something that shouldn't be looked over, whatever happens!
Red Hot Chili Peppers:
Michael Balzary (Flea), Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante and Chad Smith. Crazy yet brilliant musicians!
Green Day:![]()
Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool. They're the cutest punk band I've seen!
Korn:
Jonathan Davis, James Shaffer (Munky), Reginald Arvizu (Fieldy), David Silveria and Brian Welch (Head). Their music sure is scary (this is what my friend said!) on the other hand, it's good scary music!
Guns N' Roses:
Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagen, Steve Adler and Izzy Stradlin. They KNOW their music!
Oasis:
Liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell, Zak Starkey. Never thought I would see a band with two brothers! I wonder how they stick together...
Dido:
Sure, her music is pop but I have some weird respect for her. She sings really well. What can I say?!
Alanis Morisette:
This woman's voice is SOMETHING. She doesn't even need music to entertain.
Black Eyed Peas:
Will.I.Am, Fergie, Taboo and Apl.de.ap. Seriously, who DOESN'T like them??
Evanescence:
Amy Lee, Terry Balsamo, John LeCompt, William Boyd and Rocky Gray. I seemed to like every song I've heard of theirs so far!
Blink 182:
Mark Hoppus, Tom Delonge and Travis Barker. Their music is plain happy and funny...except for a few maybe!
Good Charlotte:
Joel Madden, Benji Madden, Billy Martin, Paul Thomas, Chris Wilson...Somehow I always relate them to Blink 182 because both of them have similar sounds! They both rock!
Pink:
I just HAD to use a pink font! She's got some guts! And a great voice.
Jimi Hendrix:
If I meet a person who doesn't like this guitar GOD, then I will take a knife and slash it across that person's neck. I, and any other guitarist of any kind, wish I could play like him...
Eric Clapton:
Yet another guitar god! But Clapton is somehow more gentle, if you get what I'm saying... Whatever said and done, he made it to my favourites list!
The Beatles:
Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrisson and Ringo Starr. If the person reading this doesn't know their names, or at least WHO the beatles are, I'd be so surprised I'd fall into a well and drown and not even notice. These guys are legends! Including most of the above...
Ray Charles:
His voice was and never will be forgotten. He had incredible talent. And thank GOD he showed it!
Louis Armostrong:
He is a bloody LEGEND. His voice was so brilliant that...I don't know! It's that good!
Stevie Wonder:
He KNOWS how to 'jam' let's say. (I've never said things like that before...I'm beginning to scare myself)
Foo Fighters:
Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett. It's not like I like them ONLY because Dave Grohl is there. Their music is really something. It's almost like...maybe a bit of Nirvana but it doesn't really remind me of Nirvana!
OK...So that's basically it! I have a LOT more favourites I'm sure...I may post them later! Enjoy the pics!

Welcome To Hell My Friends
for what its worth
Land Of Rainbows, Waterfalls And Shooting Stars
Friday, May 19, 2006
Fingers trembling against the cold,
The vague slosh of the red mud,
A soft clink of the metal of a sword.
Her eyes as blank as a void of loneliness,
Her breath as quick and crisp as a gun,
Her hair in an utter, chaotic mess,
Not a single element or trace of the sun.
She watches a bud...A black rose,
Stained with a slippery red,
Standing and stuck in a dead pose,
It remains the only one standing in the bed.
She looks around for a hint of life,
Nothing but slashed and cut up limbs,
All by the work of a longer knife
And some help from spears and arrows.
Her gaze fixed upon the black bud,
Guilt and pain etched upon her face,
Her knees now down on wet mud,
Her breath running a strange race.
Her heart filled with darkness,
Like the colour of the rose,
Her position alone and cold,
Just like that of the rose.

An unexplainable feeling,
Unhappiness about something,
I can't say the meaning.
I need to cry,
I need to yell,
This feeling I need to pry
Away from me with a happy spell.
But I'm alone,
Alone to mourn,
Why don't I know
Why I'm so down?
I try to smile with all my might
But my lips turn the wrong way around.
Blurred is my sight,
The reason is yet to be found.
I'm angry but calm,
I cry but no tears come,
I feel the need to harm,
I feel like I'm dumb.
I feel unexplainable.
I feel monotonous.
I feel no happiness.
I feel so dead...
I need someone
To cheer me up
I don't want to be alone,
I need happiness in a cup.
My old smile
I need to see.
I would travel a mile
To get out of this reveree.
But I'm stuck.
In this void of helplessness.
I feel like dirty muck,
My whole life is nothing but a mess.

When I need to cry, or just put all my stress out, i have only one way of doing it. If I'm angry and shouldn't be, there's only one thing that'll help. People excercise, fight, yell it out, cry it out, anything. But for me it's different. Not that I can't put it out verbally. I do at times. But this helps more. Why? Maybe because it's relaxing. Maybe because it's the only thing that can't make me angry or sad. Excercise means realising I'm fat. Result: i'm annoyed. Yell? To what? The wall? And cry? Why cry if there are other ways of doing it? I find it hard to cry too, anyways. I have a really sad theory with tears, which has something to do with salt. But never mind that. It's unimportant.
So what do I resort to doing during annoying times? Shut myself in my bedroom, open the case and pull out my guitar. How can I get angry with my guitar? I strum chords and I feel better. I feel myself relax. That's when I know I'm good at something at least a little. And if I have that sort of comfort, I don't need anything else. You could say that I 'strum my pain away'. Although it doesn't necassarily have to be pain.
It's my source of happiness, I guess. And I'm not exaggerating and trying to be those rock stars who 'can't live without their guitar'. I'm sure I could live without it...but only in a state of slight misery. I need to play needlessly on it, to feel the vibrations of music 'heal me'. I know that a lot of guitarists agree with me, except for those who get angry when they mess up a note. But even that doesn't bother me somehow. I laugh at my mistakes because of the sounds that I produce from the instrument. I'm serious. It sends me laughing. And that helps more with any problem or trouble I'm going through. I don't know where I would be without Snoopy!
When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch
I'm gonna run to you.
I'm gonna run to you.
'Cause when the feeling's right,
I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you.
- 'Run To You', Bryan Adams

The lowest, dirtiest, most annoying thing in the whole world...or rather in the whole of india: Hindi. How such a horrible language entered this Earth is beyond anything. Whomever invented it must have been crazy... yea sure, it's our national language... if it's a national language, then why does the southern states not have it as a language? I'll tell you why in my opinion: No one here likes it. That's not necassary, I know. But I need to quench the thirst to throttle the person who suggested it as a national language.
I'll tell you how I brought this about: my exam. And what really perturbs me is that nobody actually speaks hindi in the way that we learn it! That really annoys me. Can't we speak it like that then? If anyone disagrees with me (and I'm sure a lot of people do... especially north indians and I don't blame them), then don't say anything. I'm feeling irritable with the damned subject so don't try to reason it out. Sigh...

Yet he begs for forgiveness.
He makes me go mad,
And he will never let me rest.
He asks for money,
So I ask for life.
To my will, I've lost the key,
He took it from me.
When he smiles his smile,
It makes me cry
Because he doesn't have the right
To be happy.
He speaks with pride,
Then I want to cut his tongue.
Because all he can be proud of
Is the fact that he's still alive.
He left me to rot,
In this deep hole of loneliness,
Alone and powerless,
Because he wanted to.
He told my secrets,
Broke my promises,
Ebbed away my happiness,
Entered the loneliness.
He haunts my very existence,
When all I want is my joy back,
He hated me for being happy,
Because he could never be.
I cherished our friendship,
I held it like my life,
Then he broke it,
Sliced through it with a knife...
If I get the chance,
I'll show him wait pain is,
If I find him,
He'll find himself screaming.
And I have...
So he begs for forgiveness...
When all he did
Was bring me pain.
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey,hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June,hey, hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the
lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking
at yourself out there
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey,hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey,hey
Now that she's back in the atmosphereI
'm afraid that she might think of me as plain
ol' JaneTold a story about a man who is too afraid to
fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along
the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me,
did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking
for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-friedchicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you
even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried
romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along
the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way
Repeat 1st Chorus

My two favourite allies: Vidyullekha Raman and Nidhi Prasad. You have no idea how much we've been through as best friends! Althoough, let's keep Vidyullekha as just plain Vidyu. She seems to hate the Lekha.
I don't think I'd be so happy as a person if it weren't for these two people. I know they're there for me and hopefully they know I'm there for them. We know each other like the back of our hands. It's incredible.
Vidyu: She's one of those types of people who you can have just plain fun with. There's no amount of silence between us ever. Possibly because of the weird noises she makes most of the time which sends us into ripples of laughs. Yet, we've been through many hard times. Too many to count. And of course, the happier times are more in number! We're inseperable. At least I think so! We go crazy together. Yes, people in school thing we're weird and think that we're the sort who they wouldn't want to mingle with, except for a few of course. And that's what makes us special, right Vidyu? When we act crazy we don't care about the surroundings. Proof that we're inseperable: She shifted schools and we're still best friends. This has never happened with any of my other friends. And if I could retrace everyday we've laughed and cried, I would do it with no hesitation. Keep grinning, Joey!
Nidhi: Nidhi joined our group of two-crazy-idiots in the 8th standard. I write this when I'm in the ninth! She seems to have just fitted in perfectly as one of our friends. In the beginning, though, she was a plain, innocent one. Her politeness just became too much to bare. This kept up for a whole term until Vidyu and I came and corrupted her mind to make her what she is today! Now she's as crazy as us... or maybe not. One thing you don't do, however, is to give her chocolate or candy. The girl goes crazy. It takes Sprite and Coke Cola to make me and Vidyu (resp.) to become high. She and I haven't gone as crazy as Vidyu and I and that's probably a good thing! It doesn't matter, though, considering that we became best friends with her for that personality and not some made up crack.
"I'll be there for you,
When the rain starts to pour,
I'll be there for you,
Like I've been there before,
I'll be there for you,
Coz you're there for me too."
- 'I'll be there for you' - Rembrandts.

When I was in the 7th standard, my parents and I shifter to thiruvanmyur. My father's office was close by. Yeah, I was glad I could meet Shruthi more!
When we were setting up our flat, we needed measuring tape. My father asked me if I would like to come with him to find some. I agreed. And when we rang the doorbell to the only people we knew in the flats, or rather the only people my father knew in the flats, she opened the door. I didn't remember her. She held a book in her hand (I don't know how I remember so clearly!!) and blinked with those enormous eyes when we asked for measuring tape. That was our second meeting.
Then the next evening, her mum came down with her. My parents started talking with her mum and both of us were silent. I am, unfortunately, pretty shy so I kept glancing over at her. Yeah, I WANTED to talk to her but didn't know how to start the conversation. That's when she asked for where my balcony was and both of us sat there. Slowly, very slowly, we talked more and more. I was happy I finally had at least one friend in the appartment. And now, I still have that one, REALLY close friend. She's been there for me forever uptil now. We've shared laughs and lots of sad times and I don't want to get too sentimental now so I'm going to keep my mouth shut. But, thanks deeps for everything! :D

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through..
My girl! My girl! Where did you go??
I'm going where the cold wind blows.
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine,
I would shiverrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
....The whole.....night.........through........
- Iris by goo goo dolls.
I would runaway and hide. When I was in pain, I would hush myself to sleep. If I had to cry, I wouldn't show anyone. I would run away to a quiet place and cry...like the bathroom. The typical thing. And if afterwards anyone asked me if I had been crying, I would put on my mask and say "What? What the hell gave you that idea?" And they would walk away, unconvinced. If I cry, I feel weak. I feel vulnerable and I don't like it. I find it easier to sit quietly or even pretend to be cheerful to some good friend who would cheer me up without knowing it. I don't tell people if I'm in a bad mood unless I actually need help. They wouldn't know if I'm glum.
It's unfair to make my friends irritated when I snap at them, but it can't be helped. I try not to. I try to grin and laugh it all away. It's hard for me to cry. But then I have cried...no one hasn't. And I'm not talking about only the baby stages....
When my grandfather (paternal) passed away, I found out from a teacher in school. She called me over and said, "Your grandfather passed away?" and I was in the 5th standard so I replied with a, "No miss! He's just really sick." But when I went home, I found out that I was wrong. I didn't see his body. Instead, I walked to my father, threw down my bag and in front of a huge croud, cried and cried. And then I realised that my grandfather wouldn't have wanted me to be sad. He used to tell me whenever I cried that I was a real weakling with a big mustache grin. So I stopped crying. Instead, I went to the room with his body and stared at him. He looked peaceful. He wasn't suffering anymore. I smiled to myself. I was sure he was proud of me for being strong enough. I didn't shed a tear for the rest of the day. So I wasn't too depressed. No. I was. I was very depressed. But it was all inside. I refused to let it out. Not in front of him. I wouldn't let myself. It wouldn't be fair to him.
When my maternal grandfather passed away, though, it was different. I woke up in the morning by my uncle shaking me and my cousin brother saying "Get up, thatha's...gone" and I woke up. I looked at my cousin. He smiled one of his rare, genuine comforting smiles and told me to get ready to go down to see my grandpa. I nodded obediently and got ready. I didn't feel anything then. I just got ready like it was any other day and walked out of the house to the lower floor. But then I saw his body. His lifeless body. I kept begging him in my head, "Please move...move... please..." and he didn't. I knew he wouldn't. I don't know who I was fooling. I went into a room and shed a few small tears.
Later, when they were taking him to the car to take to the crimatorium (if that's the spelling), I followed. And then I saw him on a strecher being taken into a maruthi van. It hit me then that I would never see him again. Ever. And it flew out. I ran into the house and into a bathroom and cried and cried and cried. For so long...I don't remember how long though. But when I came out to go and see them off, see him off, no one was there. They had left. And I hadn't got to say goodbye. I trembled. I was never going to see him again. A family friend came behind me and smiled a warm, comforting smile and that opened the door to my flow of tears. I cried and cried. I regret it miserably that I couldn't have said goodbye to him.
This blog is dedicated to my grandfathers, whom I loved with all my heart. If I ever forget them, I'd be the craziest thing to walk this earth. I want to cry. But it's not coming. I'm just staring at the keyboard and computer. Maybe this is my way of letting it all out...
He wouldhave to stop, he surely would.
But bwhen and where and why and how?
They would catch up no matter what.
Huffing and wheezing, stumbling and tripping,
His knees scratched, his lip bleeding,
His breath becoming short and raspy.
The thought of black bars making him feeble.
"It was only an apple!" he cried out, sobbing,
"Shut your mouth, it's still called robbing!"
"Please, my wife is sick with our child..."
"Let her go to hell, we're doing our job."
Thunder sounded, lightning flashed,
A trigger was pulled as the rain lashed,
His body shook, that did not just happen...
The guard lay dead, his chest bleeding...
Her hair blowing in the icy wind,
The dead silence cackling it's mirthful laugh,
Satan smiling under her.
Blood and tears mingled on her pretty face,
The end was not so far away,
The pain of loneliness eating her insides,
As she felt all happiness drift away.
That's when the pain seemed to dissappear,
'How hard would it be?' she thought with a smile,
Just a jump to ease her pain,
Off that cliff that looked so grave.
Psychotic? she wondered. No of course not,
She felt at ease as she spread her arms.
Her heart beat slowed as she took the jump,
Odd bliss entered her hateful heart.
Happiness was not far off,
She laughed her hate, her pain away,
And landed to an icy grave.
Now she writes this, a rueful smile on her face.

# I've looked at works of other people of my age and they're better than mine, all irritation aside.
# I write stories on fanfiction and i normally get good reviews until recently I haven't.
It strikes me as intolerable that I feel that I am capable to write when a good writer should be modest. I get irritated when I get bad reviews. Is that so wrong? I reply to the reviews, trying to be as nice as I can but I find it hard. And I know that's stupid. That people are trying to help. (Except for those warts who actually LIKE critisizing people while their stories aren't so brilliant either.)
I know how bad it feels, like a dagger - a million of them - piercing your heart at a review which says things like "You need more training" and "How could you write something like that??" so I make it a point to give good reviews to the stories I read on fanfiction, because I also happen to know how warm it feels when someone appreciates you for once. But if I think the story is actually pretty bad, I use constructive critisism. And I know it would still hurt the person reading it, so at the end, I show them the parts of the story i liked. If, however, I didn't like the story at all, I just leave it without a word.
The point of this blog is that when you review something or tell the person about the story, think about how they feel. If you feel that this blog is pointless, I probably agree with u!!! -_-'
PS - i had NOTHING to write about
