Ahhh. Tis precisely 2 A.M.
I'm supposed to be doing comp/sleeping/whatever.
Unfortunately though, I have the attention span of a hyperactive flea, and 'Navdeep publications' isn't making my life any simpler. Soooo yea.Here I am. Surfing youtube, bolt, and myspace videos. I came across a few good ones, and one was just SO cool, and strange, and hyper that I'm naming 'Video of the Month'. Not that I'm anyone to judge, but whateverrrr. Worth the watch! :D I was going to put up Micheal Richards (
'Kramer' Actors' Racist Tirade At Laugh Factory) giant goof up, but there was a bit too much swearing. OOH! Another thing. Do any of you watch the Nobodys Watching videos? They're so funny man! Anyways, moving on.

Finally getting on to the actual video.
It's made by a european dude,Lasse Gjertsen, who apparently takes his 'hyperactive video editing style a step further' to make a song, using the piano and drums, when he doesn't know how to play either one of em. Hence the name of the video, Amateur. I just think it's REALLY awesome. Tell me waht you guys think!

*Decking the Halls....*





Today is… Today is the first proper day of winter! I’ve bored quite a few of ya’ll about how much I absolutely adore winter, now I move on to a bigger audience. . I have such fond memories of winter. Winter is like… Dammit, WINTER IS WINTER! Don’t tell me you don’t feel different in winter. Just think about it. Serene, full of love!, less whiny, and JOLLY!!!!! :P .. *sigh*

The days of winter… The weather is always perfect! That’s one thing I love about this country. It’s like spring during winter. The weather is just... AHH! To die for! It’s not too hot, not too cold and usually it’s breezy. Christmas is just… There’s nothing better than just being with your family the whole day. Christmas Eve nearly ties though. It’s like.. You spend the entire day having fun, going to all the parties which have kick-ass food, and of course, kick-ass people, receiving those lastttt few presents, and having the pleasure of trying to figure out what they are! And at the end of the day, you lie in my bed, snuggled under your warm blanket, in your room(which for me, is usually decorated accordingly) and just think of the days events. It’s just amazing. I don’t know… I’m speechless.

The smells of winter… It’s not quite the same here, but it innt' so much different. There are just some smells that make you feel like dancing! Walking into a house where Xmas cake is getting ready. Jesus Christ …!!!! I don’t think there’s one single smell that beats the smell of Christmas cake/pudding/whatever. When you think of winter what smells come to your mind? Cinnamon, Vanilla, Pine needles, wood burning in the fireplace, stews, and soups.. Really.. Makes you smile don’t it?

The clothes of winter… Taking out the winter clothes is always a highlight. Gathering hats, mittens, wooly blankets and scarfs. Not that you need them here.. But either way….

The sounds of winter… Bells, phones ringing, laughing, crying, mom screaming that the food's going to get burnt.. :P My favorite, the sound of Sonia singing Christmas carols. It brings back memories from last year. Miss you Tasha.

The habits and traditions of winter… Putting up Christmas trees is the best. I always get so carried away with decorating, my parents are usually shocked when they get home to see the halls 'decked' :P. Bows and wreaths, and MISTLETOE! Poinsettias, egg nog (or however you spell it) and ginger al! .Taking long walks, spending time with people, presents!!! Holidays, long icky flights, shitty airports/amazing airports.. The list could go on forever..

But best of all….


The people of winter… No matter what happens... The best part of winter, is being with the people you love the most. I miss you mom.

Anyways.. This post.... was just to say..... HAPPY WINTER!! :P
Peace out!!

My Passion.
I have a problem. A threat to productivity. A possible attachment to a product of boredom, but an addiction, nonetheless. I’m not exactly sure what it is, but I’m addicted to drawing.
I don’t expect any of you to comment, or think anything of this, because somehow I feel like I'm writing in a diary... But I need help, help deciding if my addiction is my passion. Today, while ‘studying’, my utter and complte enslavement decided that it wouldn’t let me rest! There in front of me was the best of ten notebooks I had unconsciously made for my art, and I was getting finicky, with it tantalizing me and all! I had an itch, no ordinary itch, more like those ones you get when you wear a cast. They just don’t go! I started doodling in a corner, which turned into some strange monstrosity, a mix of my name and tendrils of green highlighter fire. I gave in.
Only… I’ve never been sure if it’s a passion… Ohhh .. Passion means absolte devotion, right? There’s some line saying that above all, you should decide whether you can put your whole heart into somethng, and if you can’t, then take out whatever part is in it. Since I left Florida though, I haven’t done anything to promote it. When I was little, I was hooked on arts. I went to Stetson University for Ballet.. and during the summer, for art, where I sold my first painting. Since I moved here, I’ve been a vegetable....

I never forgot about art, just set it aside, but now it’s come back. I don’t think I’ll ever stop. Correction, I won’t ever stop. A friend the other day used the word ‘stupid’ for me, said that if I was good at something, if loved it, I should do something! I think I agree with him now. By writing this short thing in ten minutes though, I’ve decided that art is something that I love to do more than nearly anything else, and it truly is one of my greatest passions. And I’m going to do something with it. Wish me luck..

PS: A thanks to Dolly! for giving me the idea of putting up some of my art ... Which I'll be doing soon enough.

Potatoes and Diamonds
Yep, I did indeed not think of not putting up a tedious ‘Oh my god exams are coming we’re all going to die’ post, but hey, what the heck right?
Today in the bus, on the way home, I wondered how the next few weeks were going to be like, without Niki around to force me to study, or to distract me. Either way, it drifted on to why everyone made such a big deal about these things we call 'exams'.
Whether it’s Laura, the hyperactive tube light (Sonia), who’s become extremely over-sensitive, or Reshma, who makes me shut up in French class nowdays (when she’s normally the only person who can stand me), or Nishant, who is studying ‘The Guptas’ while I’m on the phone, everyone completely changes before exams! Everyone’s under so much pressure!
Guys. Come on, it’s only two weeks! Don’t worry! I know I’m not one to talk, but just cram, and then at the end of it, enjoy yourself all you want. You guys know what I’m saying. The point of this was not to say that though, it was to say, DO AMAZING!, best of luck! And if you try your hardest, you’ll all do well! After all, diamond is only coal that made good under pressure! Peace out!
