Kitty Flying Cold! (Keshi)

This is what I'm like at the moment...crippled by a small accident and feeling immobile and quite like a live ornament kept on a shelf...














What I wanna do right now is fly...fly in full freedom like an angel with no emotional attachments...








Amit I just had a shower so please don't ask me to take another one or even dream of one in this extremely cold Winter! Add John Abraham to it, I might reconsider it lol!

August Topics(AmitL)

Hi,all...seems everyone's still busy. So,to spice things up a bit, how about this topic from Keshi:

1)An update on my life (Thanks,Keshi,for this lively topic..it will surely tell us what everyone's been up to and is/are up to!!

As part 2 of the above topic, how about continuing it with:

2)...And,what I'd like to be doing right now.(Since no-one covered that topic last month,including me)

3) And,how about this as funny 'Word'of the month: Shower: Let your thoughts run wild,tell us what you interpret by the word,what you sing in there,whether you stare at and admire yourself in the mirror,et al. LOL..of course, I was referring,innocently as always,to the current season in India- of monsoon showers.

So,who's first? Keshi,I feel!! *claps*

The Great Extinction (Keshi)

(This was an old post from my personal blog...I just felt like putting it up here so people can laugh a little...just like how Poo thinks we should smile often...so enjoy guys!)

Genre: Humor (so chillax).

Ladies and (sometimes-not-so) Gentlemen, it seems like my love-life is in extinction. Therefore do I even have to tell you about my rather invisible sex-life? It's as dead as the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Precious fossils of it can be found in my mental museum. Well I'm not complaining cos I think this is how it was all laid out for me by the old man upstairs - maybe He knew where it would have taken me and slowed the pace after a few demented Dinosaurs. Just like wildlife protection is necesssary, Keshi's love-life protection is indeed required but it has no funds or organisations around it. No one seems to be even thinking it's an endangered species - most of them see it as a nutty species that need to be left alone. Anyways as endangered as I may feel, I also feel a great sense of relief that my love-life is near-death. Cos it lets me look around without bias and selfishness. I don't mean that people who have a love-life are selfish, but having a love-life in full swing sometimes makes you blind to other areas in life. Been there done that, so I'm talking about me, not you. Well the number of BFs I have had in the past (according to my love-life stats) is quite a healthy number and although that number is dwindling right now resembling the white Rhinoceros' count, I don't think my love-life needs to be secured in a sanctuary somewhere in Africa! Sometimes I do feel like I'm a rare species that's being oohed and ahhed at by a group of people on a safari. Anyways why do I think my love-life is in extinction? Well this is why:

**Potential partners only exist in the past/movies/blogs and is as rare as spotting a Giant Panda on any Tuesday
**Everytime my Blue-bellied Parrot of a love-life gets lucky, there's always a habitat killer
**When I do find a great guy, in the end it turns out to be that he was just hunting for my 'tusks' - leaves me feeling like an African Elephant
**When things get serious in my love-life, the very next day it mocks back at me like a Hybrid Spider Monkey and asks me to get real
**Each time I try to recall my last romantic encounter, I laugh like a Gorilla - not cos it's funny but cos the 'last time' seems like it was 100yrs ago
**Old aunts remind me that I'm running around without a man for some time now and that it's really uncommon in our family as much as the Red Wolf is in the world
**I'm receiving alot of wedding invitations these days (most of the brides are younger than me) and usually I end up being the only Snow Leopard at these weddings
**My mum says I'd be married to my car and closet forever, and each time she says that I disappear in a dash like the Pygmy Possum
**A friend brings a marriage proposal (for the 1st and the last time) and when I meet him he turns out to be a hairy-nosed Wombat - yes rare but wouldn't mind his extinction

**The opposite sex who is the responsible care-taker of my love-life seems to be pouncing away from me like a Sumatran Tiger that's being hunted for skin
**A great catch is as rare as a Silver Shark is and it seems such guys see me as a common over-populated kind of shark

**I feel as blue as the Blue Whale when I go to parties and see couples hugging and kissing that makes me wonder if I'm the only Brontosaurus left on Earth

**Mistletoe seems like some long-lost memory of a Short-tailed Chinchilla

**Going back to memories of past BFs and relationships makes me feel like I'm walking in Jurassic Park
**However, to me marriage sounds like a Californian Condor out to get it's prey so its really ok guys, I'm cool, don't shower me with sympathies now pleeeeeease ;-)

Time to smile (Puja) ;))

When all the world looks gloomy and you seem to be filled with sadness n sorrows, it is only one's smile that lights up the ambience for you(Accha theeK hai even Hug). When we smile, (Dil se) our inner joy is first reflected in our eyes and u glow with love.( Not like ooh ouch types) Pyaari smile do yaar.

People have thousands of reasons to smile. Some smile in joy, some smile in amusement, some in victory (ok I am smiling because I am getting married) ;) Think of some childish pleasures – hmmm like like jaise !!! kuch dimag mein nahi aaya …AAp log batao?

In today's world a smile has become a rare expression. Work pressure and tensions of all sorts, studies, family pbms, we have forgotten how to smile….. Arre yaar mujhe bhi bahut bahut bahut tension hai ufff Don’t ask me !!! But I still smile, That’s life now come On smile( Ok I can see Keshi , Ishi, Amit and and the Unknown Guest smiling) Good aache bacchein ho.

A smile can always win us friends. Yes even some times bad ppl. So better be carefull. Pyaari Smile matlab. Sweet ok!!

Ok Now something very serious - Most often, in an bad, fights, impulsive moment, we tend to speak bitterly, (everybody friends, mom, dad, kids. husband) little realising how painful and hurting it can be to others. Only in a moment of careful thought, we realise the sharpness of those words. But by then little can be done to change it. It is with a word as with an arrow - once let it loose and it does not return.

Words have immense power. The reason of sharp words is so strong that nothing can mend the damage caused by the bitter words. (If you have fought with someone Just Smile and Hug) ok this is only with Good, Close friends, family Not all ;)

Please Smile ;) Have a Rocking Friday and wonderful weekend.

PS: Sorry I am not able to comment. I wanted to post something. Love you all. Love you Sexyroo.

Blooks: AmitL

Hi,BUFers. A slightly different topic, but, I'm sure all of you will love to read it:

This was some news I just had to share with fellow/fellowine(feline?grin!) BUFers. It’s from an article I read in a local magazine, about the first ‘blook’ ever. Some of you might be knowing about it already, I'm sure.( I love the title- can relate it so nicely to BUF. )

They titled the article ‘mind blogging’ and very rightly so. Perhaps we bloggers should also, collectively put together an epic kind of work like this someday. (For eg. A book on essays on some of our topics- memorable train journey, etc), or, ‘human nature and bonding’, etc.*looks towards Ishi for ideas*

About the blook: 103 bloggers from 24 US states, and 10 from across the globe, created publishing history with a ‘blook’.Yes, there is an Indian whiz kid involved, too, from Oman- Arun Rajagopal.

The book is titled ‘The Age of Conversation’, and has been compiled based on inputs from all these people, and is co-authored by Drew Mclellan from US and Gavin Heaton from Sydney, Australia(Yaaay goes Keshi.grin), both of whom had never met. The post calling for authors was on March 22, 2007 and the book was launched on July 16, 2007. (Fantastic, isn’t it?)

Each author contributed a one-page chapter worth their marketing-communications expertise to help create better conversation among brands, marketers and consumers. The mix of writers- from marketing gurus to social media experts and from ad professionsal to T-shirt freaks.

The blook is about how various marketing disciplines such as advertising, digital, PR and journalism have to change the way they talk to their consumers to be heard. IT emphasizes that the most important part in a conversation is listening.(Ahem!)

Some conclusions in the article:

Blogging takes on a new avatar as a tool for dissemination of information.

Any company that ignores the blogosphere is telling it’s consumers that they don’t really care to listen.

Anyone with internet access can now reach an audience.

Over the next few years, we’ll see the blogosphere become more mainstream.

Whether the Age of Conversation has opened up a veritable can of worns or a cornucopia is yet to be seen.

The blogs of these two authors: (I can’t get to either of them .The connection times out):

The website of the book:

A point to note: The book is being sold, and the proceeds will go to Variety the Children's Charity , which is dedicated to promoting and protecting the health and well-being of children around the world.Variety reaches into communities across the globe to offer financial assistance and services to children and organizations that serve children with special needs. Variety strives to make a lasting difference in the lives of children, their families, our communities, and the world...one need at a time.

What do you say, BUFers? Interested in planning a blook, one of these days?

One of my Latest Post.

Love in Dark.

Your blood crystal and your lips are cold, and shining in the glow, but it comes from within. You are nothing but you, you are everything that is best in you and nothing that is bad. You glow with the desire to do all that you find to be good; so that you throw off sparks and glitter in the night.

It is only at night, because the night is the time to be most alive. It is at night that thoughts come together and blend in different colors; it is then that I suddenly understand, I see, I comprehend exactly. I am here and I am present in the very now, in what is happening, every glimpse and every glance catches my eye and I laugh; I laugh and laugh, for there is nothing to be sad about.



Turning off the light, let me hug the dark; it's in the night that I see u, that I shiver with the knowledge of having met u, a dream that I build out of my own fantasies and shadows.I need u to know me and so I know u, and it is u who gives me the strength and show me how to proceed.

It's a world of my own making. I see you every night, but you don't know it- I dream of you and ur smile. It is not a dream but a unfulfilled desire; I create it for myself and you come and help me complete it.

It's everything that I want and that I am when it is dark; it's only then that I can think and that I actually see. I know things at night that I don't know in the morning and I have to struggle to find them again. I prefer the night because then I needn't even look. It is reflected, then, and shines on me, and I simply take in the glow and shine. I construct it in my mind and then I see it with my eyes; And there I am forgiven, and loved and when I sleep u protect me. I dance all night with you.

I am alive now, and I am dancing, and soon I will be dragged back down again, but for now, for these few precious moments, oh, how alive, and how deeply felt!

I Miss you!!
