Really, let's talk and talk sense, right into my head. I seem to need it, badly.
Today, I had a conversation with this person ( friend? ) for 2 hours. The other day, with another friend, it lasted 3.5 hours. Then, there was this other time , for 2.5 hours. All recent.
Not a big deal and has happened in the past too, I tell myself.
Deep down, doesn't feel okay.
Doesn't feel okay because I haven't found time for a long chittochat session with Ma. It's always the computer, books, cellphone, studies and if time left, television.
Doesn't feel okay because I haven't had a happy chatpata gappa session with my sister. It's been ages! I want to know what's up and how things are but I'm too busy, it seems!
Doesn't feel okay because Dad and I haven't cracked those rotten PJ's and it already feels like it has been the longest time ever!
Doesn't feel okay because I haven't had time to respond to calls from friends who anyday rate higher than the ones I've been having marathon bakbak sessions with! Friends, who are friends, in the right sense of the word (whatever that is..!) Friends, for whom I care much more and friends, who care much more for me.
Doesn't feel okay because I haven't really given direction to things happening in my life. They happen and I mould myself accordingly which is ewww!
In the whole act of being social , are we losing the essentials?
I mean, how important is it to reply to every message/ phone call/ wall post from our 'network' ? How important is it to keep ourselves updated with what's happening elsewhere when we have little clue of the 'what's new' in the life of near-and-dear ones ? The stupid status updates keep us aware of every tiny miny mood swing that an acquaintance has (even when we do not really wish to know) but we don't know if our parents or siblings had a good day at work or not.
Is it that we've become so lazy that keeping pace with relationships, where it is easier to access the other person through technological means, has gained an edge over those relationships wherein, we actually need to reach out to our people and spend time with them ?
Do we now shirk away from relationships that need to be worked upon unlike the ones where a text would set it all right?
This post could well be an over reaction but that I'll get to know later.
For now, as I look around me, I find that I need to stop taking the-ones-who-matter for granted. May be true for you, may not be true for you.
I wish to spend more time with family and the other few who matter because I know that they will love it (yes :) )
I wish to do so because I know that even a small time spent would make a huge difference to the relationships that I share and ofcourse, I wish to do so because I know that that, would make me happy.
Happy and content , like nothing else can ever make me feel.
It is these bonds, on which I thrive, after all.
:)

Superchor!
Aivayeen title hai. Hua ye, that I flicked this tag from HP's and gave myself the Superchor tag. Bola na, aivayeen. Go ahead. I know you're almost as vella as I am! Your presence here has convinced me I'm right :P
1. What does your user name mean?
Ek baat batao, user name here refers to? I have two options, I'll go with the one I think the tag people are referring to. Hmph :/
What it is : ' Bhai with Chai ' .
What it means : See, I have had enough people here , saying something or the other about the name. Not all of it I like though! I mean, do not come to my page only to mock about the name. I understand you can't resist the amazing posts.. but don't comment nonsense! Hmph! :/
The day this naamkaran happened , I'd written 'Served by' in place of 'Posted by' , so I wanted the name to go with it.. I wanted Chai to be a part of it.. and Bhai too.. my limited imagination and permutation and combination skills led me to 'Bhai with Chai' and it was chosen for the sole reason that it fit. Now, I like it , for it's mine.. henceforth, keep your stupid smirks to yourstupidself!
2. Elaborate on your user photo.
(Aaah.. I love elaborations! :D )
Was clicked sometime in June 2007 during the 'Industrial' trip. This one was in Coorg I think. Has the Bhai, with chai. That year was when the addiction began. The chai addiction!
3. How many comments do you have?
I am not going to count them for this answer. If you volunteer to do that for me, you are SWEET. Sachchi!!

Heee hawww heeee hawww :D :D In a " what the __________ ? " mode?

6. What is your current problem?
Searching for one as of now.
7. What do you love the most?
"What" ? Make it "Who"
Or don't, I wouldn't be able to answer that either :D
8. What makes you most happy?
If I write all that stuff, most of you wouldn't believe me so I shall skip this one.
( 'stuff ' includes stuff like.. band-aids, pichkoos, crazy balls, plastic insects, pooh... planning surprises.. and the list goes on! )
9. Are you musically inclined?
Mood-ically inclined to music is more like it.
10. What would you do if you woke up one morning and found out you were on cocaine?

11. If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be?

Such is Life.
23. What's the first thing you notice about the OPPOSITE sex?
First thing? Never a single thing, it's always an amalgamation.
Sometimes the boddy shoddy (braod shoulders, height, paunch etc), the clothes.
If I'm talking to the guy, then tehzeeb - tameez rate really high.
Honestly though, for some guys, just the way they look at me or other females around me, makes or breaks their whole picture. So, eyes it is.
24. What's your biggest mistake?
Biggest is... big. Scares me! Maine aisa kuch ni kiya jo inna big ho!

(Not too happy for it though, I'm me! .. and she's she! )

:)

Many. Will not write 'em here or will sound too nosey :D

31. What's something you really like?
Conversations.
32. Do you give random hugs and kisses?
Parents and MD excluded, No.
33. What's the latest you have ever stayed up?
All night.
That's not even a question! Is it not bound to have a universal answer??
34. Have you ever been rushed to the emergency room?
Not any time I can recall :D
Oh lai! ye kya baat hui.. inni absurd ending? This is not even bollywood level man..!
Happies the endings maangta apun ko!
Ho sakta hai, picture abhi baaki ho, mere dost! :)
Till next time..! >:D<
