6 Days to Go

It's an odd sort of emotion i'm feeling right now.

I'm not geeky enough to know the right word for it. But i'll try to explain.

You know how sometimes in life you want something really really bad? And you work very hard to achieve it. You tell God, "Dude, I'll do anything, give anything away, just give me this one thing".

And then God gives it to you.

Till it really doesn't sink in, you celebrate your little success in life.

And then suddenly it hits you.

like a 440 volts jhatka.

You realise that you gave away something priceless for something of value to you.

What an irony.

What a sadomasochistic deal with God.

So now,

I got what i want.

I'm going to Bangalore in 6 days. To Law School. With 2 of the best friends I've ever made.(i would have preferred another4 coming along, but you can't have everythign in life you know)

My parents are proud of me and i think i got what i deserved. So why am i complaining?

Bombay is sending me away. Because i didn't value it enough.

The place. The emotion. The energy. The history. The friendships. The tears. The Life.

I'm letting it all go. For greener pastures of the garden city?

no.

i can't.

Dear Bombay,

I have something i never told you but must tell you now.

Remember? Valentine's Day 2008? Sitting on marine drive, I stared at the water crash against the rocks(tripods?), watching the spray kiss the sky. the full, swollen moon lighting up the ripples in the water, making it look like liquid diamonds. it was then that i realised how much i love you. eureka moment and all. That night i just knew, you were The One for me.you, are my beautiful, amazing, ever-changing, spirited, breathtaking city. You are the only place, i've ever felt home, ever called home. And you will always be the only place i want to call home. you gave me everything i wanted. you taught me everything i know. you showed me things, i wouldn't have seen otherwise. With you around, i met the most amazing people, did the most amazing things, forged the most amazing bonds. i stand, at the door of the local train, feeling the wind hit my face, looking at you and i know i want that feeling to last forever.

everytime i fell, you're arms were wide open, waiting to catch me. You straightened me up, dusted me off and told me to keep going. You always kept going. You inspired me to hang on. Because i have you, i always know it's going to be alright. And i never thought, that feeling would be snatched away from me. I never thought I'd give it away with at least half my will intact.

I never thought something could separate me from you.

But circumstances did their bitchy thing. *does filmy naheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee action*

In 6 days, i'll be leaving you. And you will be the one i will miss the most.

i have miles to go before i sleep. But you will always be the route i will choose to take. Because i cannot live without you. I'll be back before you know it. For good. I promise.

I Love You,

Niyati

Today's Achievements

Sorry for the delay in posting.

you know how it is with us busy souls.

no time for fun.

no time to post on popular blogs like NLFO.

NOT.

but, i have a genuine excuse. i was on a pilgrimage. Yes you read right. The trip you make where you visit a whole bunch of temples chilling with God, who ultimately may or may not be an existent entity.

it was quite satisfying. I had to thank God for the bloody brilliant results.

I'm going to Law School. Officially.

i'm going to have a productive life. :)

That still doesn't mean i already need to have productive days.

I shall miss having nothing to do. That's how life should be. Like today.

Day's Achievements

1) Felt hot. Its almost monsoon, but its still too bloody hot.

2) Covered up on lost sleep. i have been travelling the last 4 days to random towns and villages in gujarat. You don't have the slightest idea about how tiring it is.

3) Laughed at myself. I was thinking about Men of God i met who were trying to convince my mother that it was just the right shaadi ka yog for me. Me being a minor still, notwithstanding.

4) Appreciated the new shade of green the trees are sporting after the showers.

5) Helped a fool figure out Poker. Then lost at Poker.

6) Tried to get myself a bank account. Failed.

7) Convinced myself that hostel life won't be that bad after all.

8) Told myself i'll go shopping, soon.

9) Decided, after much deliberation, which laptop i want to buy.

10) Finally admitted that i want to go to law school because Elle Woods is my role model in life.

This one's only to amuse myself

SO...

its 3.12 AM and i'm up because i'm not getting any sleep thanks to scary thoughts about the result which is going to be uploaded at 5.00 pm.

The above fact is only relevanat because it tells you how helpless i feel as to have put up what willl follow.

These are random facts to make me feel good. Stolen off a widget.

Random Facts about Niyati

1. The most honourable way of dying is taking a bullet for Niyati. This amuses her because she is bulletproof.
2. Niyati can speak Braille and count to infinity.
3. When Arnold says the line "i'll be back" in the first Terminator movie, it is implied that he will ask Niyati for help.
4. Niyati doesn't wear a watch. She decides what time it is.
5. There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Niyati allows to live.
6. Niyati can slam revolving doors.
7. Niyati crossed the road. No one has ever dared question her motives.
8. Some people say "Niyati" is a myth. Those "Some People" are now dead.
9. Niyati doesn't use the internet. The world wide web is stored in her memory. She refreshes webpages by blinking.
10. Niyati doesn't actually write this blog. The words assemble themselves out of fear.

Damn. I'm wasted. What all i do to flatter myself! :D

Women even Women love.

DISCLAIMER: This post does not imply anything about the writer's sexual orientation.

Women. Beautiful Women. One of those things about life which makes it totally worth living.

Come on. Show me some love. What would you do if you didn't have a beautifull ass to check out on the street? Or eyes lined with kohl to drown in?

What would the poets do if there were no women to praise?

Whose nasheelee aankhein and kaali zulfein would the lyricists write songs about?

A world without women, would be ugly. Period.

And some women, just blow you away. Some women you just want to sit before and look at for hours together. Some you want by your side to show off. and some women are those who you want to sit by all night, watching movies, snuggled up in a blanket.

I'm not a man. So i don't get that privilege. I can only hope to be categorised as one of those women by the man i love. (Yes i AM straight, you homophobic pervert)

But since i have a mind of my own and a blog of my own, i'll make a list of women i'd like to marry(since i cant bear a woman's child without IVF) and post it.

so,

here goes

1] Sonam Kapoor

she's gorgeous. and she has that talkative, charming, giggly thing about her.

And i LOVE what she wears.

And Sonam Kapoor in Masakalli. Dude... WOW.

she gets first place because she's the desi girl man. Indian beauty. That's what i'm talking about.

*Desi Girl(the song from Dostana plays in background)*

2] Penelope Cruz

If there was any woman in the world, i'd agree to have a threesome with, its her.

Raw sex appeal.

That's all i have to say.

3] Megan Fox

Have you seen those lips. DAMN. God really knew what he was doing when he made her.

4] Aishwarya Rai

This woman, dressed in Indian clothing is the most beautiful sight in the Universe. No questions, No arguments shall be entertained. You look at her and you want to sob about why god din't make you so beautiful.

5] Queen Rania of Jordan

Royal beauty. Sensitivity. Sense. And a Fashion Sense.

Drool all you like.

But like you know, they're one of those things in shops labelled-

"You can look but you can't touch".

I'd love to have their children

Most girls check out other girls walking on the street. Its what they do. So do I. And most of the time, it isn't because they're queer. It's just because women are the fairer sex. they've been created to be checked out. hence, men-in-the-life-of-other-women-like-me (who appreciate the female form), i don't want to be the one to play spoilsport, but just because your girl checks out other chicks- you're not getting a threesome.

 

But, that's not the point of this blogpost.

 

Deviating from that and coming to the real point. Women have lists. I have lots of lists, and if you've followed NLFO religiously, you'll know that i LOVE lists. This, my friend is a list of people whose children i'd love to bear ;).

1) Daniel Craig

a) he has that slight rough edge

b) he has beautiful eyes

c) he's suave, stylish and smart

d) he's hot

e) he's really hot

f) he's bloody *ucking hot

 

2) Ricardo Kaka

a) he's a man of character

b) he's noble

c) he epitomises commitment

d) he's uncontroversial

e) there's is nothing more beautiful than a man in love

f) the fact that he's incredibly cute also helps

 

3) Chandler Bing

a) he's the perfect man

b) boring job and all

c) funny, witty, sarcastic

d) he's the real deal(hopefully)

e) he husband material. he just is

 

4) Rahul Gandhi

"You must know... surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I'd scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on." 

 Any man, any man capable of saying this with all sincerity deserves to be on this list

  

coming back to the original point, chicks. And my interest in them. See, because i check out hot chicks, i also have a list of chicks whose children i'd love to bear. Which ofcourse, since i already told you about it, i will put up.come back for more :)

Nothing Concrete

so,

what is it with holidays and the absolute inability to come up with an incredble blogpost?

i've been waiting for the past four days for an idea to come along, but it just doesn't.

so hell,

im just going to blog for the sake of it.

actually i have three things to mention.

 

 

A] Is there anything in the world, hotter than a victorious, weeping champion?

yes, a victorious, weeping champion who loves his mediocre looking wife as much as he did when he was a no body.

Roger Federer baby. 

Roger Federer. That man's passion, dedication and intensity drives me INSANE.

tears, goosebumps, the works.

Some people are made to make history.

some(read: us losers) are made to watch it happen and blog about it :D

And because Soderling deserves thoda sa  credit, i'd like to say that i want to be a loser like him. Because, i, am a sore SORE loser.

  

B] Will it be beyond annoying for me to mention how incredibly bored I am?

is it a mental health disorder?

will it be fatal if mixed wth anxiety?

because the combination is KILLING me right now.

 

 

C] Are parents magically granted the ability to be exceptionally pissing off when the baby is born?

how can anybody be so amazingly unreasonable, exceptionally pissing off and still absolutely indispensable at the same time?

and how can you not fight with them and not lose your self respect at the same time?

INCOMPREHENSIBLE. Parents, my dear dear friends, are perennially PMSing chicks.

I'm telling you.

 

But i'm happy. very happy. i have my reasons.

You know you're a bambaiya when-

Bombay. My first and only true love. sometimes one sided- But BOY! Is it love? or Is it love?!

its my city. where everything is imperfect but you fit in. Hell, everybody fits in.

but only a few city dwellers deserve to be called bambaiyya.

lets lay down the fundamental rules-

1) You call the place Bombay and not Mumbai. Changing the name of this place was criminal on whoever-did-it's part. It continues to be Bombay, VT station and Sahaar Airport. NOT THE NEW NAMES.

2) That yummy thing, which is a puri filled with liquid in it, it's called a Paani Puri. Not a "gol-gappa". And Elco Pani Puri centre, has the best ones in town.

3) You've visited Lalbaugcha Raja. And you know what i'm talking about.

4) If there is anyone who is qualified to be called the God on Earth- Its Tendulkar.

5) Wada Paav is the best way to beat hunger pangs at any time of the day.

6) You must be able to speak Bambaiya. Come on. Even wiki has a page explaining what it is.

7) You've traveled in the local train. ticketless that too :)

8) When you are asked who makes the best tea in town, you know its the guy on the corner of the street. Cutting Chai baby, Cutting Chai.

9) You know Marine Drive and Juhu beach are the best places to hang out in the city.

10) You don't hesitate to punch the person who says delhi is better than Bombay :).

11) You order Bombay Masala when you go to Pizzeria. And its extra special if you're eating it on Marine Drive looking at the Mumbai skyline.

(Ps- I'm officially back and I found my treasure)
