Duck is Heads cuz Ducks have Heads...

"I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?"
so we all know how awesome FRIENDS is...A lot of my friends are under the impression that the epic series is about Friendship, sure it is..all of the characters do value friendship, but it is when people suggest that friendship was what was most important is when i begin to go against the popular opinion. Let me ask you, how many times has Joey ditched Chandler for a girl? Now i do not say that Joey does not care about his Friend, it may however be the case that Joey knows Chandler will understand...This situation, however is different from when Chandler lied to Joey to spend time with Monica, that is ok, because they were in love, there is no comparison between the two relationships, because anyday, Monica is more important to Chandler, and Joey, being the great Friend that he is, understands that.
That is a series, i have observed however that in the "real world", Friends refuse to register this particular fact and are unable to let go, blessed i am with an amazing friend who does not need such petty reassurances of our friendship and can be awesome even if we met after ages, this however is not the case with most people, some of my other friends have not fared so well in the department...so moral of this para is that let your friends live, do not expect yourself to be the most important person in anyone's life, and if you do, please do not confront them, just keep it to yourself.  :)

Edgar Allen Poe Much?

"Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend," I shrieked,
upstarting-
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!- quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my
door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the
floor; 
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor

Shall be lifted- nevermore!




this is from possibly my favourite poems of all time...Edgar Allen Poe's Raven, Poem talks about this creepy loneliness that he faces when he has time to himself, the tiny little details he keeps adding which seem insignificant to the plot of the poem but very much adding to its mystifying aura. All poets have their style, Poe's style appeals the most to me.

DoodleDee DoodleDum

Well these are my doodles, i pretty much do them everywhere, on t shirts, cards, notes, question papers, notebooks blah blah, its takes a long time but you dont even realize when its done...

Doggies!

so, here is their story, the first two pictures are of Takla-ma-kan(in gujrati it means ears on baldie) well, he gets his name because when we rescued him, from CBD Belapur, all his hair had been pulled off and he was bitten all over by other dogs, probably because of his feisty personality, so when we brought him home to nashik all there was was his bald body, and two large ears...

the third picture is of Naake, meaning nose(He had a lot of spots on his nose back then), he is the youngest and has the softest personality, one sunny day he wandered into our backyard where he was grabbed by the other two dogs and then? mom n me to the rescue!! He survived, and stayed.

The last picture is of Jhemluness meaning Crazyness, he used to stay on a farm, this one morning the "owner" woke up late and found that his breakfast had been eaten by Moti the pup(moti being Jhemlu's former name, which was changed for obvious reasons), so he decided to kill cotu...Then? Family To The Rescue!! of all my dogs, this guy has the most attitude, and style.

Is Dance Dying?

So that is my mom, she is an amazing dancer and dance teacher, but it seems to me that her students are carrying out their parents dream of dancing than their own, one mother wanted her kid to learn not for the sake of knowledge, but to show off her daughter in different festivals, another wants her kid to learn because she never could(its never too late), while fusions and spin offs ruin the idea of the art form that is Bharatanatyam, the few expert dancers that do remain try to save the original traditional dying art form. The other day on "so you think you can dance" a Bharatanatyam performance was observed which was just so incorrect and unappealing, the expert choreographer and dancer had their mistakes pointed out by the judge who knew little of the dance form, all that he said was true, but the point is that he knew more about the art form than most Dancers who call themselves experts in the field. We need Quality Control.

My New Hobby/Obsession

So i started doing this embroidery, its awfully time consuming but once i finish it, its going to be epic, the entire border(and this is incomplete) requires 14 such patches and a single one takes about half and hour, the circle is the more traditional design. Stuff we do to make us less common place huh?

My Sorting Hat Song..

a year i had, to learn and think
to put a message in a way it sinks,
into those young and wary minds,
who look for knowledge and are kind,
for as the evil power grows,
and evil minds will reach new lows,
the only thing that'll keep you going,
is your clean conscience and kindness growing.

now to address the matter at hand,
the nature and will make them land,
in the 4 houses will new family form,
and bonds strong will form in their dorms,
if brave and loyalty are your traits,
then the lion awaits your presence mate,
if you pride very much learning and wit,
with the creative and intelligent you will sit,
if hard work scares no part of you,
then just and fair are your traits too,
and lastly i talk ambitious and cunning,
remember that you are here for learning.

the gold and scarlet for nerve it stands,
if you have it, then in gryffindor you land,
godric welcomes you under his realm,
as he too had all the same dreams.
in ravenclaw if you be,
special is they way you see,
if wit beyond measure is your greatest treasure
rowena will take you in with pleasure.
if you dont be afraid of toil,
and will not others plans foil,
play fair and be loyal and just,
helena's ways you must trust.
and lastly where ambition grows,
resourcefulness here over flows;
salazar's choice was pure of blood,
whose line was free from all the mud.

so my advice to you this year,
there is always evil and something to fear,
but stick close and be kind,
a way to overcome the fear you will find.
