This is your problem.."
"I don't think what you're doing is right..."
"Oh! you have a long way to go before you grow up.."
These are just some of the things that I have been told about myself. It seems as though everyone I meet wants me to change in a way that seems to appease them, yet they live in complete oblivion about how I feel. I mean do they stop to think that maybe, just maybe (by some freak chance) I am doing the best that I can ?? That maybe I am being who I want to be and not who they want me to be? Just because they might have grown up different and or maybe they have more "experience" under their belt, does NOT by a long shot give them the right to enforce their ideas on me or anyone else ...
I'm not sure how many can relate to what I am saying here... but have you ever stopped to wonder that when you pass a comment which hints or directly makes a statement about your (negative) feelings for someone else, seem a little selfish? And what would the repercussion be if it happened to you? I mean sure we're not ok with loads of things people around us do, but there are times that we just shut up and make out peace with it and move on ...(a hint to the wise!)
It may also seem here that I am implying that I do not take criticism very well ..but ..uh ...excuse me ..who the F*#@ does??? who on earth will smile and take a critical comment as if someone were showering them with compliments?
Its one thing to air ur opinion because of "freedon of speech" ...but its a whole different story when you're trying to impose your ideals on someone else just because you seem to have an "understanding" (conclusions based on hasty judgements more than sound analysis) of the other person ...whatever...
So the next time you plan to open your trap to tell someone what you think they should be doing ..just once ..get out and look at yourself ..chances are ..you might be doing the same thing you're about to criticise ....
I plan to sum up my ranting by saying...nobody is perfect and NEITHER ARE YOU !!
So back off and let me be with my flaws ...i happent to like them ...!

Words of wisdom, or ......
(This was one of the most interesting mails I recieved ....)
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me,
for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much
leave me the hell alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and
leaky tire.
3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your
neighbors' newspaper, that's the time to do it.
4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.
6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of
car payments.
8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their
shoes.
9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish,
and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
probably worth it.
12. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
13. Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield.
14. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
15. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put
it back in your pocket.
16. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
17. Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side,
and it holds the universe together.
18. Generally speaking, you are aren't learning much when your lips are
moving.
19. Experience is something you don't get, until just after you need it.
20. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
.........and the last but not the least...............
21. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative
on the same night.

birthday (un)blues ...!!!
yes ..this post is on birthdays as well ...!!
today (march 5th) happens to be my birthday (which i have been running away from the past few days)...but due to sentimental reasons ..i am compelled to write this blog ...(read on ...!)
I had been dreading my birthday (read the blog titled "birthday blues"..!!) and today i recieved a present which i was (needless to say, wasn't expecting) wishing 4 all my (so-called) adult-life ... A SURPRISE PARTY !!
i thought that my friends back home would be the ones planning and enforcing it ....but it turned out to be the people i least expected it out of ...
for a while i had thought i would call some friends over so that we could have a few drinks and a few laughs nd just be together on my birthday ..but since i hadn't made a formal plan ..last minute (which is this afternoon) everyone said they were either busy or they might drop by 4 a few mins ..or sumthn on those lines ..there was no commitment coming 4m anyone ...
finally ..heartbroken and succumbing to a feeling of 'forsaken-ness'(if that is a word and a feeling !!) ..i decided 2 just give up hope that i wud b having a happy one ..!!
a friend took me to a movie and then dinner ...(the food was just incredible..there are no words that can aptly describe it!!!)..the movie and the dinner seemed to have helped me in forgetting all my sorrows and woes (temporarily) and i had almost forgotten the reason that had depressed me earlier ...after our evening ...we boarded the bus and came home ..it was around 11:15 pm. I wanted to just go home and crash ..cos the thought of being alone on my birthday was beginning to get to me ... (the song "i'm just a kid" by simple plan started ringing in my head) ...anyway ..after stalling and falling asleep some 2-3 times.. at 12 o'clock i finally i bid my friend farewell and he wished me a happy birthday ...i made my way to my room ...("i'm just a kid" playing in repeat mode now!)
the main door leading to my room was unlocked ...i am too much of a pessimist/realist to think that now i will be given a surprise ..i figured someone was either expecting company or someone was having a party (which i wasnt invited to !) ...
feeling as though ive hit rock bottom and it could not get any worse ..i opened the door to my room ..and from the darkness somewhere in the mouse hole that is my room ..i heard the words "SURPRISE" ...!!!
i turned on the lights to find that my room is full of my friends waiting for me to come in and blow out the candles and start celebrating my birthday ...!!!
i dunno how many people can relate to this blog ..but the feeling of them going through the trouble of doing this and arranging it was just so overwhelming that i cannot stop thinking about it ....(there is good in this world afterall!! hehe)
so here's wishing a goodnight to you all and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME...!! ( flashing a big-toothy grin!)
