"There are moments in life when you
miss someone so much
that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real!"

(Nemo from Finding Nemo)

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

(Donkey from Shrek)

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the
closed door that we don't see the one,
which has been opened for us.

(The Cyclops from 'Monsters Inc')

Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things
you want to do.

(Nemo from the film 'Finding Nemo')

When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.

('Crush' - the turtle from 'Finding Nemo')



May you have enough happiness
to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.

(The Mammoth from the film 'Ice Age')

The brightest future will always
be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until
you let go of your
past failures and heartaches.

(Scrat - a squirrel-rat hybrid) -
from the film 'Ice Age')

Blogging And Bookers

What's with Blogging Anyways- Everyone is doing it these days ....All my friends are blogging -writing fancy stuff-poems, stories, articles on their impressions and observations of life and so on. I had started this some 2 years back. This was all due to Peeyush -I got to know about blogging- it was a pretty interesting thing-I always had a secret desire to be a journalist and well.....(is there any harm in admitting it)...... a Writer as well. During my college days on many a summer days when our professor would be droning about the Demand -Supply Curve and its nuances I would be dreaming about the Booker's that I would get one day- I had already edited my acceptance speech- (the last excluded name of thanks was that of my brother's because he refused to give me a lift on his bike that morning). Many of my such dreams would be abruptly broken when the prof would suddenly decide that I am the best person to explain about the extensive usage of metaphors in shakespeare's dramas. Come to think of it- just because nobody paid any attention to what anyone said- I have got away with a lot of crap in college-talking about hyperboles when i should have been speaking about metaphors( my logic being- they sound similar so must have something to do with each other ).Anyway so the writer in mean started nagging me, troubling me, telling me that I must give it a shot.

So I got all excited and started blogging .Its been sometime since then- changed jobs and cities and made new friends. And wrote about all of these major and minor happenings in my life. And then I started Blog Watching along with writing and I realised that I am a miniscule part of a big big world-there r millions of people from all over the world who are actively blogging something every minute. They share thoughts, ideas, jokes, articles, pictures, fictions, advertisements through this medium. Some are diligent bloggers who have formed forums and groups - some blog jargons have also evolved like " blogwatch", Blogroll"," Tagging" etc.
Some Blog related controversies have also come up -the IIPM controversy comes fresh to my memory. Ask us Bloggers what is the The one takeaway, one benefit that we get by regularly logging in, putting on our thinking caps and keep typing in our thoughts and making them public- Well if you ask me- I am practising to get a Bookers:)
But I guess it serves as a medium to express onself , give vent to creativity, discuss on issues on which they have strong opinions or fetishes etc. Its a nice cost free medium.So carry on my friends- And keep reading my blogs and post your nice comments( mark the word nice) and of course you would get a mention in my Bookers acceptance speech:)
