Rambling...

Not too sure why I got here. Not like I had anything to blog about. Maybe I got here coz I didn't have anything else to do!...nah I'm not bored or anything like that...just in a pensive kind of mood. "pensive" acc. to the dictionary is associated with "melancholy" and "sadness"...hmmmm! Am I sad? How would u know? :-)....ummm...you could just go ahead skip reading this and read the last post "Hungry kya? :-)" if u haven't already...it would make a more interesting read than this!

Anyway, I went through a whole lot of blogs and posts today...and I mean A WHOLE LOT! Blogs on a wide variety of topics...some fun, some interesting, some thought provoking, some that left me speechless and some happy, some sad...I experienced a whole range of emotions. I missed blog hopping in the past few days and thats why there was a lot of catching up to do.

What I've come to realize is how deeply a post can affect me at times. Which is why reading so many in a day is not something I intend to do often. I don't know if its a boon to be a sensitive person and get emotional about things or if it's a curse!?! (this sentence reminds me so much of the days when I had to write school essays on "Is Science a boon or a curse?") At times it gets difficult to leave a comment without getting too personal and with me its all about relating stuff I read to my life. If I can't identify with the emotions in the post, I can't simply comment for the sake of commenting...though somtimes I do just say a Hi! esp. if I haven't been visiting a blog often.

Its past 11:30pm...I'm normally in bed at this time. But Vedant doesn't have school tomorrow coz of Raakhi and R's got a holiday too. Both my brothers live away, so I won't be tying raakhis. I do have a cousin but he's got work tomorrow. We may meet up this weekend. Last Raakhi was a fun day. I wrote a post about it...not here but in my good old yahoo blog :-)...we'd all gone to a water park and had a great time.

This year no plans but Vedant's cousins are coming to spend the day, so he'll have some fun. Suchi will be here in the morning coz R's her raakhi bro (that wld also make her like my sis in law...hmmm! And oh yes, she has been updating her blog too!) and rest of the day, I'll be with three kids (all boys!) around me!

Hmmm...

I was keen on going on a vacation or a short trip but don't see that happening. Also the thought of spending Puja (Durga Puja is big Bengali festival) hols here in Delhi isn't making me feel better. I'm hoping for a change in plans but...

okk...I better stop rambling! I think I can hear Vedant and he seems to be troubling papa :-) ... must go before either one them yells for me!! G'nite ppl...maybe a post with something more interesting than this atleast on friday...if all's well till then.

Ps: the music is "Everybody Hurts" by REM and this is related to the so called "pensive" mood I unwillingly find myself in!!

"When the day is long and the night,

the night is yours alone,

When you're sure you've had enough of this life,

well hang on

Don't let yourself go,

'cause everybody cries

and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong.

Now it's time to sing along

When your day is night alone,

(hold on, hold on)

If you feel like letting go,

(hold on)

When you think you've had too much...

of this life,

well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts.

Take comfort in your friends

Everybody hurts.

Don't throw your hand.

Oh, no. Don't throw your hand

If you feel like you're alone,

no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life,

the days and nights are long,

When you think

you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,

Everybody cries.

And everybody hurts sometimes

And everybody hurts sometimes.

So, hold on, hold onHold on, hold on,

hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Everybody hurts.

You are not alone..."
