Is it Love?

Disclaimer: This piece was posted on one of our notice boards by a tuccha (2nd yearite) here. So all copyrights are in his name.

Love is a global phenomena..
Love could happen anywhere anytime...
Love has happened to you...love has happened to me..
Love could happen at wierdest of all times...its always a surprise...
at times when you are just sitting over a boring lecture..
I have felt that happening...and it hurts!
I still don't know what is the purpose of love...may be i'll never know it..
may be love makes us stronger...may be love helps us fight the odds in life..
may be love is a learning...may be love is knowing you are right
or may be that you are wrong....
When ever i am in a love situation.. i always look at the opposite sex.
do they feel the same...?
do they know that its mutual...do they know that they are going through
the same "love" as i am??...and i have always found the answer to be yes..!
But surprisingly...!! After i am done with love...and i think about others,
say, when i ask anyone (not necessarily the opposite sex) how does it feel to be loved ?..
the answer is always in a same template "Got Scr**ed.... or not !"
I don't know if that is the intention of love is to scr***..
but that seems to be the end result of it..
I hate that.... i hate it like i never hated anything before..
to me love has to be harmless, effortless and undemanding..
to be free from any obligation...
love can't be graded... love is love..
but whatever love i see here...its not what i like...
So from the deepest of my heart i hate love..
yes I hate love...!
But needless to say......love happens..again and again..!!!
though not regular thesedays...but it still happens..


All these inferences takes me to an obvious conclusion..
Love is like anything i hate...a global phenomena
Unstoppable...all you can do is enjoy it.. for eg,
re-read the whole passage with "quiz" instead of "love"
it should make sense... :-))

Amazing, isn't it?? Having just completed a week with quizzes on each and every day, I completely empathize with that guy!

Rayway to Heaven


Reflection

It's been more than 3 weeks since I came here. I don't know what's wrong with this place but it makes one think a lot of the past. It's been only 3 weeks but it gives a feeling that I've lived here forever.
 
The days here are long -- though the sun sets at around 6, darkness doesn't set in untill almost 8. Probably that's what is twilight. I haven't had much chance to explore the city yet, though from whatever glimpses I could catch during our treat outings it seemed to be an interesting city. But it terribly disappointed me in one count -- all the hopes of my eyes feasting on beautiful gujju babes were dashed to the rocks! Anyway if I come out alive on the other side of the year, I'll see what I can do to rectify this abysmal situation. For now, the priorities should be 1) acads, 2) acads and 3) acads. Am ashamed of myself. Damn!

Help!


If any of you can make whatever little sense of this horseshit piece of research journal, please let me know. I'll take special permission and come do three 'pradikshana's round you!


The empirical analysis was conducted by a univariate as well as a multivariate approach. First, the hypothesized relationships between management training and the independent variables were tested by non-parametric statistical tests which make mininmal assumptions about the underlying distribution of data (see Table 2). The independent variables were then tested in the second level of analysis with step-wise multivariate regression models to explain variation in management training. Finally, statistical analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between management training and business performance. The regression models were all rigorously tested to avoid multicollinearity and autocorrelation.


And that was just a sample. This reinforces my long held belief that the race of researchers should be exterminated! I've done a small 'research' of my own, and discovered this astonishing truth -- if all the research papers in this world were to be used as fuel, Earth will not have energy crisis for the next 573.23 years! So, who's starting the bon-fire?

And the twain shall never meet?


Time


I don't seem to post anything except lyrics and dialogues these days. But when the same feelings have already been expressed in such a sublime fashion, I don't see much sense in croaking like a frog!

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation in the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Too Bright


Hurray! I've survived one week here without any apparent loss of hair or sanity! Though it's been only one week, I feel like I have been doing this all my life! Days drag on like an opera and nights curl up like a touch-me-not.

Alone in the dark with nothing but your thoughts, time can draw out like a blade...

Life has become one long cycle of classes and mugging with nothing to break the monotony. No books, no music and more importantly no friends.

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright... and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice... but still, the place you live is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend ...

That one is my favorite too! There are lot more, but not now. Ending with one more gem

I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying.
