We won We won!!!!

Yahoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!Hahaha....you did think we have won the World Cup!But yesterday's match was reallllly coool wasn't it???Kaarthick's knock was just brilliant!Sachin?!!!He got out on zero!!!Arrrghhh!!I hate it when that happens!!But finally we are going to WIN some SERIES!!I'm always the optimist yaar!!Sometimes a bit too much...but then..why shouldn't I be?I just hate it when India loses...then let it be any match...when we lose it,my mood for the rest of the day is worse than anything!I remember,when we lost the World Cup in 2003,it was quite clear we were going to lose it ever since Zaheer bowled the first ball of the day which was a no-ball!And in that over he gave many more extras.But me being the eternal optimist,until our last wicket was gone,I kept hoping and hoping that something will happen,someone will play and we'll win the match!But alas...that never happened!And next day was our 10thStd science practical...and that night,I felt sooo horrible...I was so close to crying!Normally even a Karan Johar movie doesn't make me cry...but losing the World Cup was soo different...I kept feeling so horrible,a terrible sense of loss flooded over me..I dunno...it was as if I had personally lost something!I couldn't talk properly for 2 days...I was so sad!I mean it wasn't so horrible as it sounds...but I knew that deep inside I was terribly sad...we had lost the World Cup...after getting so close to winning it!
Dunno what it is with me and Indian cricket...I feel a different kind of oneness with them...as if their loss is mine and their win is mine too.You'll always find me in a terrible mood when India loses...even my mum knows that...I guess I must have been an Indian cricketer in my last lifetime...coz thats the only thing that would explain this extraordinary fanatism!

Many Lives,Many Masters

Hey there!The Book exhibition was reallllly coool!!!I got 3 books from there - 'Messeges from the Masters' by Dr.Brian Wiess, 'Going all the way' and 'Elizabeth - I need you' by Francine Pascal.The Elizabeth one is from the Sweet Valley Twins series...but in this book Elizabeth is no longer in SUV...and I think she must be 21 something now atleast!Haven't started any of those books yet...coz I was reading 'Only Love is Real' by Brian Wiess.It's an amazing book!!A must read for every person on this earth!!Actually I thought Many Lives,Many Masters by him is much more interesting...this is just a sort of continuation of that book.But Many Masters was an absolute shocker for me atleast!!I mean I've never really been a very religious person before...I'm an athiest..but certainly not religious!I've always thought that most of the things that our religion teaches us is nothing but superstions...seriously...we have sooooooo many endless rituals and beliefs...and scientifically looking at these rituals my mind never agreed with them!But after reading this book,I guess there must be atleast some bases for the evolment of this religion...the Hindu religion I mean...And dont worry...its not a spiritual book or anything.Not just a spiritual book...its a real story of life-after-death and reincarnation!Do i hear you groaning in dissapointment already??Don't be dear...believe me...its a great book!!I mean imagine this...when we die,our soul rises up in the air and we see a light somewhere far away...and then we meet the Masters who are the highly evolved souls...God-like.Then we are supposed to realise what all mistakes we made in our lifetime...based on that we are given the choice of where and when we want to be born again...i.e if we have been good in our lifetime then only we are given a choice..otherwise the next lifetime that we get is a real tough one!In that book,the girl,who is a patient of Dr.Brian Wiess,she realised that she had 86 past lifetimes!!And all in different countries!Oh my God...am I telling too much?!!Sorry!!Just read the book and you'll know ok?

Just having fun...

Today I'll be going to the Mumbai Festival Book Exhibition at Kalina.The only problem is that I still dont know the exact address of that place!Hehe...Never mind...I'll find it out.

Then we'll be having out Saree and Rose day in col on saturday...I hope it'll be fun atleast this time!Coz last time there was nothing to do except roam around in that uncomfortable saree and finally we got bored to death and left for home!Seriously,our college is really boring!!Wish we had a few more cool people in our col...coz otherwise even the teachers are not interested in holding some fun activities and we have to suffer coz of that!But well...I guess you can't hope to have a good crowd when you are in Arts...I mean there are colleges where the Arts crowd is better than ours,but then in those colleges studies are not given that much importance..and there are no good students at all!Then in that case I did better be in Sathaye,atleast we have got really cool teachers here!Who cares about the crowd!I've got a cool group of friends and that's all I can ask for!That's our Taxi Day Foto...I'm not there in it obviously coz I clicked the foto!!

Shilpa Shetty in Big Brother

Whatever is happening there in that Celibrity Big Brother is really pathetic!I mean I had really thought that the western countries has grown tolerant...but I guess it's not so yet!What the British celebrities are exhibiting by passing so many racist comments, is that they are highly uneducated!Maybe they have been never taught to celibrate differences instead of laughing at them!I mean even Shilpa can laugh at their accent just as they do at hers!But she isn't doing it right?Dont they understand that all over the world people do have different accents while speaking different languages?It is as but natural!If they were to learn Hindi and come to India to participate the Big Boss,do u think our celibrities would have laughed at them like this?No way!Coz it comes so naturally to us!India is a country where we have thousands of spoken languages and lakhs of dialects.If we go on laughing like them at every other person just because his accent is different than ours,we would be called fools!Can't these people understand such simple things?And they are calling Shilpa a slum dweller and an uneducated person and laughing at the way she eats...I mean they are nothing but stupid!If you have been given an opportunity to learn about a different culture,different belives,different thoughts, then why waste your time on making fun of that difference?Instead they can learn so many new things!Cant they even understand a simple thing like,if they think she's stupid or her manners are stupid just coz they are different than their own,dont they get it that the same applies to them when they are judged in relation to other people?I mean if we are going to laugh at them for being British,then that would surely be stupidity,wont it?Seriously,these people are such hypocrites!Such filthy hypocrites!They think they know everything when infact this racist attitude of theirs is depriving them of such a huge treasure of knowledge!May God help them!I think if it wasn't for India,the term 'Religious Tolerance' would have been non-exsistant!And not just religious tolerance-cultural,lingustic and social tolerance too!I'm really proud to be an Indian!Afterall we have indeed progressed so much inspite of so many differences!I dont think any other country in the world would have even survived for such a long time(had they so many differences),forget progressing!
