Dance-Floor Etiquette

Ok guys I had to attend another party in the weekend, lucky me ha? And I have 2 more bday parties coming up in the next 2 weekends (Keshi roll her eyes..). Well actually the point of this post is not to brag abut my parties, but to realise that even on the dance floor we need to behave. Why am I saying this? Cos last Sat my cousin had a party. And if I'm invited to a party there's got to be dancing or else I wont attend it - yep just like that. Anyways alot of us were shaking our booties for about 5hrs. Well that's ok..the usual. But something different happened on the dance floor this time around. Something that got me uncomfortable and that actually got me running away from the party lol! Well it's really not a joke. Let me tell you what happened. First the girls were on the floor dancing merrily and enjoying to the fullest. While all that was happening, the guys were having drinks outside in the balcony...we asked them to join us but they were yet not in the mood to hit the floor. Finally the guys took over the floor after about 2hrs of us dancing...and guess what?Some of the guys were totally stoned and they looked a bit scary when they danced hehe. I was ok with that cos most of them were my cousin brothers (trust me I have ALOT of cousin brothers!).

It was all ok until one of our friends (say M) started grabbing me and asking me to dance with him. I thought that it's ok cos he's a good friend and everyone knew he was a great guy too. I maybe a manic dancer but when it comes to partner dancing I'm very choosy about the guy and his manners on the floor. I do dirty-dancing with girls for fun lol, but I'm a bit wary of doing it with guys, especially if the guy is drunk. But cos I knew M well, I turned to him and danced but then he wouldn't leave me alone...he was pulling me closer and trying to grab me from some of those censored body-parts hehe. And that's when I asked him politely to stop doing that and to just dance normal, but he just wouldn't. Then he chased me all over the floor (btw I didn't forget to dance while running). My cousin brothers tried to relax M but hell na he wasnt anywhere near relaxing. He continued to do that to me until the party finished - though it wasn't too scary cos I knew him well and somehow managed to keep his hands off me, it would be really bad if it was some guy I didn't know! I knew M well but never did I expect him to behave in this manner, never. Does he have feelings for me that he acted this way when he was totally drunk? OK secret out - he was interested in me a while back but I wasn't interested in him in that way - it's a long story so don't ask me about it puuuhlzzz! Or was is that M was losing his cranium cos of the alcohol? But all the other guys who were drunk didn't do any of that to anyone else. So what was going on in M's mind? Do you guys behave this way with your female friends sometimes when you're drunk? It's just weird.

Well he rang me up the next morning and apologised for whatever happened at the party and told me that he can't remember anything lol! I said it's fine but I might sue him for the violation of dance-floor-rights hehe. Anyways jokes apart, I guess girls (even boys) should be prepared to handle such unexpected events on the dance floor. I have never faced such a situation in my life before but I think I handled him well - I didn't yell at him or snob him (partly cos I knew him well). I just told him to behave, avoided his crazy moves somehow (very cleverly, smiling all the time ofcourse) and kept on dancing:) If it happens to you, don't lose your temper...just calm down and say NO politely to the person or go and sit somewhere saying you need a break. Just don't get into a fight cos that would be ugly and spoil everyone's mood. Also it will keep you away from further trouble. So has it happened to ya?

2nd part of the post:
Today's song is one of my favorites ever - Down Under by Men At Work. I would have listened to this song a zillion times. If you didn't know it's a very popular Aussie song and it always makes me wanna get up and dance and I do :) I love the flute music in it...it's too good to describe in simple words. I will ask questions on Aus later on so watch this song's video here ok ;-) It's funny, informative and very Australian. Here's the first question for you already...What's the first thing that comes to your head when you hear the word Australia? Lyrics given below (Indians note that Bombay too is mentioned in this song woohoo!):

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,
"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,
"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,
"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Have a great weekend my yummy Vegemaaites!
... ... can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder...you better run, you better take cover... ... ...

Of Tiaras And Tinsel

Watched Miss Universe 2006 last night. Apart from being shocked at seeing rib-protruding bodies of some of the final 20 contestants, I must say that this time around most of the girls were not all that gorgeous. I know that Miss Universe is not only about external beauty but to be in the pageant I believe you've got to look exceptional to start with - extraordinarily beautiful than the average woman. Anyways there were few really good-looking babes that didn't make it to the final 20 - maybe cos they had a little bit more flesh than those who were chosen?? sighhhh who knows!

Miss Australia (pic at the top) is pretty alright but I don't know how she even got into the contest with her reckless past. The Gold Coast beauty was once a nude model and then came on Aus TV crying and begging people to let her compete in Miss Universe. That I think is pathetic and degrading to the contest itself. I believe Miss Universe is not only about beauty, it's also about responsibility and character. So she went ahead and who knows what happened duhhhh! Moving on to my origins, Miss Sri Lanka (pic on the right) is a true beauty and apparently trumped Mr.Donald Trump to no ends hehehe. She didn't get a place in the final 20 but she stood well for the country and did Sri Lanka proud. Miss India (pic on the left) went on to be in the final 20 and I must say she's quite beautiful - she wasn't quite the Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta category, but she is truly beautiful. Now to the top girl...Miss Puerthhho Rikkko! Whoaaaa she is HOT I must say and she is only 18! A baby beauty queen and she really carried herself well. I really love her smile - it's gorgeous and at the same time very cute - seems to come from the bottom of her heart (pic below) and her 'skin's the color mocha!' as Puerto Rican Ricky Martin sings ;-). The glamorous beauty paved her way to success not only cos she was drop-dead gorgeous but also cos she answered the questions pretty intelligently. My favorite part of the contest is when they ask those final questions from the final 5 contestants. Because the questions are random and the contestants have to answer within 30 secs, I must say it's a hard thing to do and one requires great and quick thinking power for it. I think all the girls did well with those questions this time and Miss Puerto Rico being just 18, was still the best at that!Good luck to this brandnew beauty queen and hope she does her country and the world proud! Current music is from another Puerto Rican beauty, enjoy!

So lets have some Miss Universe kinda fun ha ;-). Let me ask you the same questions from the contest and you try to answer real quickly and honestly. Keep it short ok (30 seconds span for each question). Good luck contestants!

1.If you could change anything about humanity, what would it be and why?
2.What is Success to you?
3.What would you teach your children?
4.What is your biggest fear and why?
5.What is your one true flaw?

Forgetting the fact that my entire Osteo system is still suffering from a hangover from Sat (cos of a party that went on for 14hrs), I just don't wanna let my blog-life suffer too. So here I am trying to blog as usual (sooo wanting the blog-doc to run out of business), making funny faces at you ;p from over here, sipping my coffee and giving you a chance to be a movie star...nah Keshi hasnt gone coconuts - yes you heard that right, movie star it is. I thought of this on Sat as one of my friends told me 'Keshi you should be an actress...' when I finished doing a stupid emotional movie-scene as part of that Passing-the-pillow game. Everyone was cracking up watching me act lol! Well I think we all are many different movie-star characters in many different ways. Some of you girls may be like the girl Salma Hayek plays in Fools Rush In. Another girl's character maybe like Julia Roberts role in Runaway Bride. Some of you guys may be like Hugh Grant's personality in 2 Weeks' Notice or Richard Gere's character in The Unfaithful. It could be any character and any star. So which movie-star character are you, from which movie and why? Here's mine:

I'm Lucy Eleanor Moderatz (Sandra Bullock) from the movie While You Were Sleeping. Overall a nice girl but she's a tad unlucky in love. I could relate to Lucy cos it's been 4yrs since I broke up with my ex (and you guessed it right, it's been 4x365 days since I last kissed duhhh!). Though she's interesting, she finds herself working a 9-5 job, often bored and lonely. Her life passes by just like the people who pass her by as she sits at the park sipping coffee or having a hotdog. And when Christmas gets closer, she feels even more lonely as that's the season of love, when lovers hold their hands and kiss under the mistletoe...and when old aunts ask 'why are you still single?'. She daydreams about a guy who would do more than just a nod and a smile. Someone who would take that extra effort to get to know her and love her for her. Someone who would take her as his girlfriend for life. Someone who would spend all Christmases with her. Then she meets Peter Callaghan (Peter Gallagher) while trying to save him from a terrible accident where he goes into a long and deep coma (this part is yet to happen in my life cos my Peter seems to be on an eternal coma even without an accident). And then she meets Peter's brother Jack Callaghan (Bill Pullman) and eventually finds her true love in him (that too yet to happen to me, so anyone here with brothers? lol!). So there you go, that's my movie-star character. And yet another lonely Christmas awaits for this Lucy...

Now which movie-star character are you? (it can be Holly/Bollywood or even TV)

And a Very Happy Birthday to Pradeep for the 24th of July!

Like A Pearl

Hey dudes and dudettes, know what? Apparently 'Keshi' is the name given to some rare and unique pearls from the Tahitian seas :) I just found out by reading a newspaper article in Aus about them and was jaw-dropped when I read the name 'Keshi' in it. I was like WHOAAA now I'm a pearl?? And so I set out on a mission of acquiring more knowledge about Keshi pearls that lead me to this net article. I haven't been a huge fan of pearls so far but suddenly I have developed this curiosity to buy some pearly jewellery, although I'm not sure it will suit me. Let's take a risk ha ;-).

Pearls are created inside an oyster somewhere deep beneath the seas...how fascinating. Isn't it just like all of us? We are all created inside our mothers' wombs, hidden away from the world. But when we are born, do we continue to shine just like the pearls do? Do we maintain our pureness and values no matter in who's hands that we have to deal? Pearls are not humans but they retain their beauty and value forever, whereas a human who's gifted with so much thinking power sometimes find it hard to maintain the beauty of the soul. Why, cos we are incessantly seeking for more and more in life hence we get disappointed at the end of the day. Can we just stop for a while, stop and stand still while the whole world may pass us by? Be still like the beautiful pearl..be what you are...continue to shine no matter what happens around you. Be like the pearl that grew in a mucky place, that even left it's ocean-home and came out to make people's lives brighter and beautiful. Just like how the Sandalwood continues to emit a magical scent even as it is being felled. Be a bright beautiful pearl in the lives of the people you know. Can we atleast try? I'm not being preachy or something, but these thoughts came to my mind when I set my eyes on the pearls. Suddenly I wanted to be like those pearls who never lose it's beauty and value no matter what. I think I'll try from today.

Now to some other WHOAA news - I bought a brandnew mobile phone! I'm stoked to bits cos it looks sleek and sexy and has many many many functionalities that I haven't even explored yet. I only bought it last night and was too excited to even read the guide cos I was busy just staring at it. hehe seems like Im beginning to fall in love with electronics since most of the real men are either taken or seem to have gone on a permanent holiday when it comes to Keshi - well you never know, I might even have a wedding invitation being sent your way reading 'Keshi marries Nokia' hehe. Another great thing that happened was that Avik, one of my long-term blogger pals, is about to become a dad and has decided to name the baby 'Keshi' (if it's a girl ofcourse). Now isnt that so sweet and I was really touched by his genuine friendship and appreciation of me. I hope that baby girl turns out to be non-Nokia-loving sane girl some day ;-). Good luck with daddyhood Avik! Yes to another WHOAA event now - it's my sister's bday tomorrow and we are having a party...she hates parties unlike me but she couldnt get away with that with a being called Keshi living in the same house lol. So yes we are having a party and I got her Guess sunnies and a gorgeous black and white embroidered skirt shhhhhhh don't tell her yet! She's gonna faint I know - I just hope she'll wake up before the guests arrive so that she can lay the table while I dance non-stop. And today's music is from our very own Aussie singer Shannon Noll, enjoy and have a good one guys!

Devil In Disguise

Had a glance of the devil today. Have you noticed how some people discriminate, without a single thought about what they are really saying? I read a comment by some person in one of my friends' blogs that said something like 'stop using pkblogs when it's of Pakistani origin 'cos it disgraces India'! How prejudiced, racist and discrminative is that statement? Can all Indians here please tell me that whoever who said that was one rare racist with a severe cranium-deficiency ofcourse and that you don't feel that way about Pakistani sites etc? Yes I know that there are problems between India and Pakistan that has been dwelling for years but do we have to go to a level so low to draw borders between lands and it's people just cos we can't see beoynd plain hatred? pkblogs is a simple means of communication for godssakes, it sees no color, creed or race - it's not promoting any hatred or violence either! So why make Indians who use pkblogs feel guilty for nothing? It's people like that commentor who draw borders in people's hearts and build walls between psyches. It's people like that commentor who divide nations and spread racism. It's not about whether it's Pakistani or Indian or Chinese or Aussie, it's about the matter in hand. If it's something that gets people together, then seek no differences. If it's something that discriminates, then reject it straight away. pkblogs I believe gets people together so use it, reach out to others and stop stagnating in racist brain damage. Learn to see the good in your enemy too, if it takes you to peace and freedom. It's this never-ending Us and Them attitude that has buried us all in war forever. All I can say is such racists haven't met their embryonic needs and are the true seeds of evil. As they say, everything starts with a thought, so beware of your thoughts for they can grow into an unconquerable jungle of mass destruction - that has already made evil to be a constant in human society.

My Special Spot

There's a special spot in my life that's not easy to be described in simple words. I wander off to this spot everyday for great many reasons: To engrave my thoughts in the solid walls of that spot so that my deepest emotions have a voice and remain etched there to remind me of how I change over time. To talk to many others who are sitting at my spot waiting for me, and to know that I'm being heard and appreciated for who I am. To share knowledge among some very voracious and smart acquaintances that feed me with their deepest intellect that I can't even buy in real life. To reach out to someone who may be waiting at my spot at a time of need and for some comfort from me. To bring out the best of creativity and pent-up emotions for which this spot becomes an open door. To believe in humanity when all hope is lost. To realise that I don't have to pack my bags and board a plane to experience true friendship. To vent out my anger, frustrations and dilemmas of daily life in a healthy manner. To be able to communicate in a way that makes me a better-informed citizen of the world who learns to appreciate great many cultures and personalities. To realise that information is the key to knowledge and that knowledge is the power in all of us. To build a network of special spots connecting from my spot that has now become the lobby of sheer knowledge and growth in my life. This spot may mean nothing to you but it's the whole world to me because it contains my most precious thoughts and it is the only pathway to many other special spots around the globe. And that spot is BlogSpot and it's my virtual home. You can't put me out of my home...you can't take away my keys and lock it for good...you can't steal my right to live in my own home...you can't destroy my right to freedom, knowledge and growth. Let me in, I want my home and my rights back. And this time it's you who's breaking the law.

My dear fellow-Indian bloggers, you are free to continue this Spot-post in your blogs with adding more great 'reasons' for wanting back that special spot in your life. Let's do it until we are heard and our own right to knowledge is granted back to us. Ishi you may use this post for anything that requires it to get back your right. Good luck folks!

Fetishes Of You

Yep you guessed it right, Keshi is on a Fetish-tracking mission today, so get ready my fellow-earthlings. Sexual fetishism was first described by Alfred Binet as though the concept and the activity is quite ancient, is a form of paraphilia (sexual arousal) where the object of affection is a specific inanimate object or part of a person's body. The term arose from fetishism, the general concept of an object having supernatural powers, or an object created by humans that has power over other humans. Sigmund Freud hypothesized that human sexuality may similarly be tied to conditioning (learning), and this may explain the phenomenon of sexual fetishism. Common fetishes include fetishes focused on shoes, boots, hair and haircuts, gloves, wigs, body piercing, underclothing, diapers, or other garments made out of specific materials such as rubber, fur, spandex, leather, or nylon - did I hear diapers?

The term 'fetish' first came to my ears when one of my friends stated that her boyfriend has a foot-fetish. I was thinking maybe he was a Podiatrist or something like that, but I was tragically wrong. It meant that he has a strong connection with women's feet and gets aroused by them. Imagine a dried, stinky pair of feet walking past him...wonder what will happen to his foot-fetish then. Anyways, that's when I found out that people really get sexually aroused by specific body parts/objetcs/smells/substances etc etc.


It's not a crime or a problem to feel that way and it aint something to be ashamed of - apparently it's natural brain stimuli linked with certain experiences even. However fetishistic arousal is generally considered to be a problem only when it interferes with normal sexual or social functioning (imagine my friend's boyfriend falling down on his knees and licking his female colleague's feet -now that's trouble). Sometimes the term 'fetishism' is used only for those cases where non-fetishist sexual arousal is impossible. So there you go...it's very much connected to some external stimulus.

The question: Do you have any fetishes, if so what are they? In simple words, what uniquely turns you on? Let me know and I will explain it a little bit further for you but only if it's listed in the Fetish article I read (Saby's fetishes I won't be able to find on this Earth but I'll try, ok Saby?). I will list mine at the end ;-).

Now to some very disappointing news...the Indian govt has managed to persuade some ISPs in India to block Blogger altogether. Because of this, some of my Indian blogger friends are not able to view any blogs at all. Isn't this the height of stupidity demonstrated by the Indian govt? I hope all Indian bloggers will fight and win back their well-deserved right to information. Till then, I'll be missing you my dear Indian blogmates!

Lyrics:

You always make me smile
When I'm feeling down
You give me such a vibe
It's totally bonafide
It's not the way you walk
And it ain't the way you talk
It ain't the job you got
That keeps me satisfied

Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than before
Your love, it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touching means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinkin' of
Oh, oh baby Oh,

To understand
How I feel, deep inside
Oh oh, you make me feel
All I need to feel
Yes, in my heart

Your love, it feels so good
And that's what takes me high
Higher than before
Your love, it keeps me alive
Thought I should let you know
That your touching means so much
When I'm alone at night
It's you I'm always thinkin' of
Oh, oh baby...

The Desolate 'Tomorrow'

NOTE:This post was written ages ago but I didnt feel like publishing it for some strange reason. I did publish it once and then quickly deleted it. I think today is the appropriate day to publish it - don't ask me why. So here it goes.

Yes we all know that...Tomorrow is only a term we use for the Today we thought of Yesterday. So, Tomorrow never really comes. Then what happens Today? We think so much about Tomorrow and waste the Tomorrow we thought of Yesterday, which is Today.

Ok enough of me mucking around with your sanity :) What if Tomorrow I stop blogging altogether and cut all connections with the net for good? No emails and no nothing. For some it may mean nothing...just the end of a net Id called Keshi. But the few who loved me for who I am, would surely miss me, I know that. This kind of goodbye sounds harsh, but you never know, it can happen, be it through my own will or not. But please understand that if it happens, that it's not cos I want to hurt you all intentionally or not cos I don't consider you all to be good friends...but it could be cos I just wanted to end all net activities, just like that. Maybe cos I wanted to be free of too many heartbreaks. Maybe I just wanted some peace of a different kind. Or maybe I just died. No matter what, Janice has always been on my mind. Everyone is unique and no one else can fill the emptiness left after Janice, that lurks around for so long. Unfortunately no one could help me with finding her since my last post about her. I even contacted the Mulund area personnel, but even they couldnt help me. So either Janice was not using her real name on the net or she is just untraceable. How has that affected me? Well, can anyone undo a bond once it's formed? I can't. Once you get to know someone and once that someone has touched your heart in a very special way, you just can't undo the bond, can you? The bond may have a set number of days of life, but the emotions and memories it leaves you with will never expire. Sometimes I feel scared for her...sometimes I feel what if she's alive and didn't want to contact us anymore? Is that fair on us or is that something wrong to do? But I don't blame her...if she's alive, she may be having her own reasons that need not be explained to some net girl called Keshi that she met long time ago. Well the point is do I even have the right to know - maybe not. Agree guys? Well I'm trying hard to make up my mind about Janice. Sometimes I wish I was not this ultra-sensitive...it's really irritating you know. I wish I could just go on with life like most people do...you know, have a heart of rock-solid matter.

So if I'm not here Tomorrow with no trace whatsoever, please don't feel angry at me. Please don't feel scared for me. Please don't ask for an explanation. Please don't try to find me. Live and enjoy Today, and be glad you did so Yesterday. Please don't worry about the Tomorrow that never comes anyways! It's like reading a book...it has a set number of pages...once all pages are read, there's none new left to read...you only have the pages that you read before. Life and every other phase in life (be it blogging, acquaintances, good health, happy times etc) is like that too. Nothing is forever so don't long for foreverness. Every bond in this world has a set number of days...and Yesterday's memories and Today are all we've ever got to share with one another, so cherish now. Be happy with what was Yesterday and what's here Today, so don't push me away...don't discard the time I have with you now...don't mock the friendship I have for you...don't cry about what I couldn't deliver...don't forget the Yesterday I had with you and don't throw away the Today you have with me...don't long for perfection of bonds either but live in the moment, for Tomorrow I/you/we may not be here at all.

~~Yesterday,

All my troubles seemed so far away...

Now it looks as though they're here to stay,

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Peace For Peace

I want all my friends in Mumbai to confirm their SAFETY. Please leave a comment here saying you're OK. Uttsy I rang you but it went to your voicemail. I really hope all of you are ok!

I felt so much fear and anguish as I read the news about the Mumbai blasts cos I have many friends there. I couldn't think straight for a minute 'cos I can never understand the motive behind inflicting pain upon another in this very violent manner. Tuesday's Mumbai Blasts only proved even more that terrorism is just a waste of energy, time and lives. This is the exact thing that has been happening in Sri Lanka for the past 20+ years bewteen the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) and the SL Govt - a raging war between the Tamils and the Sinhalese that killed thousands over the years including few who were very close to my heart. The LTTE uses women and children in their suicide squads. Some suicide warriors of the world believe they get frikkin virgins in Heaven when they die this way (how can you even get to know a virgin with a heavily blasted p#nis)?? How utterly dumb is that! 20+ years and no peace yet for SL but we see only more and more senseless deaths. This only proves that from terror we can never achieve security. From violence we can never achieve peace. From foolishness we can never achieve wisdom. So what are these terrorists really trying to do? How cranium-deprived are these terrorists to really think that all those who died last night (and many other innocents in history) can bring them peace? Do they know what peace really is? If they knew it would they be using terror to achieve it? Why can't people who want freedom/peace so much, think like Gandhi or Mandela and act peacefully for peace? Corrupt governmets may be frustrating but terror IS CERTAINLY NOT THE WAY!

Those who are dead will never come back to see if their untimely deaths served any purpose at all. Those who use terror as a means for achieveing peace will never get it either. Peace is the only way to Peace and until we realise that, no one is going to have real peace. What is Peace to you?

So here comes THE eye-candy:

Passion Unlimited

Weekend is still on my mind, especially cos I spotted this hunk at the mall and couldn't get my eyes off him for quite a while. A few minutes of a drooling-session was happening when my tongue suddenly became one of longer-than-usual-human-tongues that reached him in a hurry across the barriers as he looked at me too - I so hope that no one noticed my facial expressions then cos I just froze right there and felt like I was in Antarctica ( I was expecting to be melted cos he was HOT but instead I froze - don't ask me why). Yeah maybe I was just being silly - after all he was just passing by and he didn't look like daddy-material to my would-be kids anyways. Cos he was 'playboyish' - yes that's the word. What was I thinking of, buying a Playgirl franchise with him someday or something, silly Keshi! But that got me thinking about X-rated movies..lol yes, I don't know why but he just got me thinking about those movies too. In other words he was a big session of lethal naughty on legs ;-) Oh enough of the description now, sorry guys Im going around in circles here! I already feel like I came out of an X-rated movie, holding his hand btw.

Usually you feel passionate towards someone you've known for a long time and towards someone you've dated/married to ofcourse. But can 2mins of just looking at someone (without even knowing him/her or touching) make one feel so much passion for the lookee? I hardly feel that way about people but when I do feel it, it's divine and it's hard to explain it in simple words. No it's not just lust, but it's much more than that - at a deeper lever of emotions as well and from both sides. If it's just lust, then hell it happens all the time and you don't feel that instant connection with the other person - just physical attraction only and it dies pretty soon. This is something more than that...like you know this person well and that there's some really strange, deep and beautiful connection of the body and the soul with the other person's body and soul. Like you know what she/he's trying to say and she/he knows what you're trying to say. He was good-looking but not drop-dead gorgous either...though he was hot he also had that innocence about him that got me totally floored. And he wouldn't stop giving me that 'I so know what you mean baby' look hehe...it was some very strange but very familiar feeling. I don't know what it is and I don't know how else to explain it but all I can say right now is that I need a mighty fireplace to melt me back to my original self. Yeah his look got me frozen for atleast another 6months. Have you felt this way at all towards a stranger without knowing them at all? Tell me about it...has instant passion ever left you spellbound?

Jobology

Happy Friday is here and it's fun-quiz time babehs! So here it is: If you could choose a job other than what you are working(worked) as right now/studying to be, then:

1.What would you love to be working as and why?
2.Also what is the one job that you can never see yourself doing and why?
3.What would be the most unfit occupation for you (even though you may prefer to do it)?

Here are my anwers:

1.Right now I'm an IT Consultant. If I did anything else at all, I'd have loved being a Kindy Teacher. Why, Cos I simply adore kids, I feel the happiest when I'm with them and most kids get drawn to me quite quickly. I can make any crying kid smile and I always get compliments from people about my ease with kids. One more thing - trust me you can learn ALOT from kids. All my cousins/friends who have kids know about this natural talent in me and send their kids to my place often - not cos they can't lookafter them, but apparently the kids always ask if they can visit Keshi...isnt that cute!

2.If there's any job that I can't see myself doing at all, then it has to be an Executioner's job. Yes I can do any other job in the world given the need arises but not this one, no ways! I'm sorry if any executioner is reading my blog right now hehe, but I just can't imagine waking up and thinking 'hmm what's my agenda for today..oh yeah I gotta hang that guy at 7am and then have lunch later on and collect my pay for the deed'. How can anyone go home with all of that at the end of a working day?? It's so very hard to even begin to understand that kinda job!

3.The most unfit (but have a desire for) occupation for me would be of a Nun, lol! I mean with all my impatience, love for rich food, rock music, halter-necks, sexy shoes and with a Phd in Flirting and that hyper blood running through my veins, I can never be a nun - I can't imagine myself all covered anyways! When I was little, once I told my mum that I wanted to be a nun and she told me that the Convent might turn into a rock concert then (imagine nuns in their long gowns rocking to 'Sweet Child O Mine'?). But I always wanted to feel that peace, grace and the immense love those nuns portrayed. I always wondered what it would be like to be one of them, away from the madding crowd. But now I realise my mum was right. I'm not Nun material at all - not for more than a day maybe and that too only if Adam Garcia was a priest nearby ;-). My sincere apologies to any nuns who might be reading this - you see, now arent you glad I'm nowhere near you?

After all, a job should be something you enjoy doing and feel proud of, not only something that you're good at. So what about youse? Don't forget to have a safe and rocking weekend guys!

I Do I Do I Do...

Do you? :) Well some friends found the last post too depressing so here's something to make you all smile, especially for Uttara. I always think about marriage vows taken at weddings, the words, the meaning behind them and whether people can really live up to the promises made on their wedding day. Well whether they can live upto that or not, what matters is if they truly feel that way at the time of taking the vows. Now think about some funny words that could be uttered at the ceremony (like how Mr.Bean said 'holy goat' instead of 'holy ghost' in Four Weddings and a Funeral lol!). Here are my own versions of some of the famous vows taken at weddings.

Original:
I, John, take you Maria, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.
My version:
I, John, take you Maria, to be my wife, to have and to scold from this day forward, for better or for worse depending on the situtaion ofcourse, for richer, much less for poorer, in sicknesses such as flu and in health, to love and to perish; from this day forward until your plastic surgery debts do us part.

Original:
I, James, take you, Tina, to be my lawfully wedded wife, my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live.
My version:
I, James , take you, Carol oooops Tina, to be my awful wedded wife, my constantly nagging friend, my frightful partner and my love from this day forward except when footy is on. I promise to love you unconditionally if you do the house chores, to support you in your goals not kitchen work, to honor and respect you, to laugh at you and cry cos of you, and to cherish you for as long as you let me sulk in the sofa.

Original:
I Darren, take you Catherine to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live.
My version:
I Darren, take you Catherine to be my wife, my partner in crime and my one true pain. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I'd do tomorrow. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you and that's if I turn gay, loving you faithfully through good times and bad except when dinner is not ready - forget about loving then, regardless of the obstacles you may face while I watch and laugh. I give you my hand, my heart, my liver if there's transplant facilites, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall survive our ugly selfish fights.

Original:
I, Lisa, take you, Brian, to be my husband, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know. I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together, getting to know the man you will become, and falling in love a little more every day. I promise to love and cherish you through whatever life may bring us.
My version:
I, Lisa, take you, Brian, to be my husband, loving what I know of you and hating the rest which is like 99% of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, btw that's a whole lot. I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together which means you do the dishes every night, getting to know the man you will become or cease to be, and falling in love a little more every day, with the milk man ofcourse. I promise to love and cherish you through whatever life may bring us as long as I get the bigger share in everything.

Original:
I, Karen, choose you Daniel to be my husband, to respect you in your successes and in your failures, to care for you in sickness and in health, to nurture you, and to grow with you throughout the seasons of life.
My version:
I, Karen, choose you Daniel to be my husband, to respect you in your sorry successes and in your hilarious failures, to care less for you in your beer-induced puking sicknesses and by toilet-training you, to nurture you, and to grow with you throughout the seasons of life, keeping in mind that you are the one who really needs to grow.

Unison vow orginal:
Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you, For where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. And where you die, I will die and there I will be buried. May the Lord do with me and more if anything but death parts you from me.
My version:
Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you, For where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. And where you die, I will die and there I will be buried. May the Lord do with me and more if anything but death parts you from me. Forgive me Lord for that was the biggest lie I ever said in my entire life.

:) Now you try making up some funny ones ok, either by using these same ones that I used or create your own. Have a hearty laugh folks! Are you feeling happy now, I DO ;-)

And A VERY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ISHITA AND RAJIV for the 5th of July! This song is dedicated to you two.

In The Arms Of An Angel...

I'm back guys. Thanks for the wonderful messages and yeah I had a FANTASTIC break. Loads of things to share with you on that, but first of all I want to share the story of a little girl from Perth, Western Australia (pic on left). Little Sophia was only 8yrs old and was with her 14yr old brother, 11yr old sister and her uncle last Monday in a popular Perth shopping centre. Sophia wanted to go to the toilet, so while the others waited outside for her (just metres away from the toilets), Sophia went in but didn't come back. She was raped and murdered inside the toilet by a 20yr old man and it only took him few minutes to do the gruesome act. It was a shocking tragedy that got the whole of Australia together last week. This should never have happened and that too while her family was very close by not knowing what was happening inside the toilet...she's only 8yrs old for goddsakes! It was such a horrible crime that she was left dead on the floor with no clothes on and most of her bones broken. How can anyone, I mean any human ever do such a thing to a little girl? I can't understand how and why people get such cruel and animalisitic thoughts in them that they can really go and do something so violent like that? Imagine the horror, pain, helplessness and the fear she must have felt at the time? Little Sophia will be laid to rest today, and her Year 3 classmates wil be honoring her and bidding her farewell in a public funeral in Perth. One good lesson we can learn from this horrible tragedy: Love CAN conquer Evil...so please let Love come in to your hearts and never let evil win over. And those who are parents, if you have small children with you, always be close to them...never leave them alone in public places. This could have been your daughter, sister, friend or neighbor. I can't even imagine what Sophia's family must be going through right now.

I want to say that no matter how much fun I had last week, I can't get Sophia out of my head. She's in my prayers and in my thoughts. We won't forget the brave little girl you were and the love that you shared in your short time here on Earth with the people you knew. Goodbye Sophia, it's your time to live with the angels...

THE ANGELS
Did the angels come from heaven
to help you through that night
Did they feel your terror
And take away your fright.
Did the angels bear the pain
That was being done to you
Did they hear your cries of fear
And stayed to help you through.
Did the angels hold you tightly
The way I would of done
Did they know how I would feel
And wish they were the one.
Did the angels cry out loudly
For the unjustness of your plight
Did they call Lord Jesus
And lead you to the light.
Did the angels softly kiss your cheek
Before you took your leave
Did they remind you how we loved you so
And forever more we'd grieve.
Did the angels whisper in your ear
Don't worry you will not go alone
Did they know part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
