BUH'DAY..!! :)

Birthdays bring great memories from the past and wonderful dreams about the future. This time, I had a week full of surprises for my B'day and it was the best B'day surprises ever! :) 

You know the best and the worst thing about B'days? On your B'day, From 12am to 11.59pm, it's the most special and happiest day of your life. But right after 12am, you just realize that, you need to wait for another one looonnngg year, to get that special day again(Uhh, such a bummer!). 

Flame n Flower

I've always thought that Orange n Yellow are two flashy-flashy (2 'flashy' cuz they're that flashy :-P) colors. But turns out it isn't that bad. Orange n Yellow, they actually dispel the gloominess! Try it out :) 

A loss forever!

In memory of one of my best friend whom  I lost recently in an accident.

RIP..

Go Chennai Super Kings!

Today 27th May 2012, the talk of the day is IPL Finals- Chennai Super Kings Vs Kolkata Knight Riders.


Will the defending champions (CSK) win this IPL for the third time? 
We've gotta wait till 11.30pm to know that!

Two weeks back we never expected CSK to be in the playoffs. But thanks to Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab, who benevolently lost the match they played, and cleared the path for CSK. A special thanks to Deccan Chargers who got fully charged to win their last two games!

Getting into the playoffs was one task, but winning consecutive games is another hassle! To get into the finals, CSK had to win  2 consecutive games and yes, they did that!!

The first game with Mumbai Indians: thanks to Dhoni who finally stood up to take away the match from the hands of Mumbai.

The second game against the Delhi Daredevils, was a full throttle and a very memorable one, as I saw the match live at M.A.Chidambaram stadium! I went with two of my friends: a girl who got real crazy and wanted to dance for every single ball that was hit and a guy who was patient enough to deal with all the craziness that was happening around. At the end of the day, CSK reserved their spot in the finals without much trouble (Thanks to Mr.Monk who scored a century!) :)

So, today is a big match! Lets keep our fingers crossed..

P.S: I had CSK in my mind and sketched the above lion. Let the lion roar again! 

Xpectations!!

Expectation is a word that carries so much of a lot of things like, curiosity, anticipation, anxiety, happyness, burden, fear, shiver and what not?!! Whenever I get my hopes high on something and expect that to happen, I say to myself that it is not healthy to expect so much. But lemme face it, I was never able to control my expectation.

I asked to myself, "Is it so wrong to expect something?". Well, I didn't get an answer till now.

When our expectations are fulfilled, the amount of happyness you get is unimaginable. You feel like you're the happiest person in the world and everything around you looks perfect.

At the same time, when you expect something to happen, and if it doesn't, you get so depressed and gloomy. The whole world seems to be working against you!

Expectations could be huge or really really small & silly. But the impact it has on a person is pretty much the same.

Many would have faced a lot of 'Expectation scenarios' in their life. Lemme just list out a few, that runs on top of my head! They might be petty things, but believe me, they have a strong impact! More importantly, you expect things from someone who is special/unique/important in your life.

#1. Cawwl..!

                                        
     
       1. A call from someone, who said they will call you back in 5 and suddenly you find that your watch is running a race!
       2. They say they will intimate your result over the phone.

#2. A Text

      1. Expecting a reply for a really important question from someone you like the most.
      2. Sending a "Hi, What's up?" message to a person after a really long time and waiting for a reply.
      3. Important questions list for tomorrow's exam. :-P


#3. A gift or a courier or at least a call at 12 on your B'day.

#4. Anticipating a vacation trip with family or a farewell party/get-together with friends.

#5. Exam results, when the internet is so damn slow.

#6. Announcing the winners list.

#7. The moment after you click the 'Submit' button and you wait for the computer to process your request to get your final marks.

And etc etc.. Is it possible to not expect anything? Huh, No way! Why? Well, without expectation, life might be monotonous.

But, is it healthy to expect all the time? Hmm, I dunno. I leave it to you!
