Why can't we be comfortable with ourselves at all times? Why do we judge people by their looks? Why do we want something when it is taken from us but not when we have it? Why do we watch porn even when we have a girl/boyfriend? Why do we cry when we have it easy while people that don't have it easy hardly whimper? Why is it we start wars over something such as religion which is meant to be a peaceful subject? Why are some of us losers for no reason yet others popular when they shouldn't be? How are some stoners geniouses? Why is it that only females can give birth? Is there anyone called God?

Most of the time you feel enthusiastic as evident by your positive outlook on life and your high levels of energy. When you feel calm, your positive outlook onwe life is paired with a fairly low energy level. Although you might not realize it, your lower energy level is a positive attribute, allowing you to fully experience and appreciate your feelings of optimism.
When you experience the ups and downs of mood swings, the most important thing to remember is that you're not alone. Everyone—even the calmest individual—is liable to fly off the handle now and again.
Ever shouted at a loved one for no apparent reason? Had a bad day at work, just because? Or found yourself ricocheting between happiness and sadness? Getting your mood swings under control is no easy feat, but once you know what to look for, they can be surprisingly predictable and manageable.
Well...had taken this test on Tickle from this page. Actually, used to be pretty regular in that site. Had taken loads of tests in the past 4 years or so that I've been using it. Was feeling a bit bored, so thought why not take a test out there. Had gone to the "Mind & Body" section whre I discovered this test. After the results were out, thought why not share it with you guys as well? Even this's a way to get to know me better, just in case any one of you out there is interested :-p.
Hmm...I do tend to agree with it. Actually, it's really pretty much correct about myself. I do tend to get switched off & on pretty suddenly. There are'nt really many occasions when I'm in a bad bad mood...when I'm in one of those fu**ed up days, things can really get pretty ugly for those who are close to me. Just in case you have been one of them who had to face my wrath for no apparent reason...I'd like to apologise and say a huge sorry, mate! It just lasts for a few mintes, or even seconds...I'm just hope there haven't been many such occasions for you to face!

Hello...Bonjour...Hola...Nomoshkaar...Vanakkam...Salaam Namaste!! Wo..it's been almost quarter of a month now, since I last posted something! Well, couldn't have helped it either. Had gotten all entangled and choked up 'coz of the mid-semesters. And, as every other Engineering student shall agree, we hardly ever even think of buying the books unless it's just a week or two for the papers! Oh boy, what an aweful time I had. Thank the Devil, it's finally over now!
Well, it's the holidays now...courtesy, Durga Puja! Now finally, two weeks of uninterrupted internet connection, no load sheddngs in the middle of writing a loooong mail to my girl friend, finally two weeks of Yahoo! & MSN Messengers, finally no more ominous and wicked smiles at the corner of the mouth, saying, "Dude, your time's up!"...finally two weeks of good home food, absolutely fultoo time pass and no submissions at all! Isn't it fun, being back at home?
Ohkay, did I worship home-coming a bit too much? Height of irony...mom just barged into the room, reminding me to go get a haircut soon. She's been forcing me to trim the lovely tresses that I'd grown in the past 2 months, right since the moment I landed in Mumbai!! Oh boy, why are these parents so much adamant on whatever they've put their thought on? Have been a real good boy all my life...doing just exactly what hey'd wanted and xpected me to. Now, I'm 20years old and still have to give in to their whims & fancies! And to top my frustrations, they say I can't have my hair long 'coz not a single member of our ancestors have ever done that...what the shit! C'mon guys, grow up! Isn't there always a first time?
Hmm...Puja's finally here! Wish you guys all HAPPY DURGA PUJA & HAPPY NAVRATRI PUJA as well! This time of the year is when I love the festivities the most. There are loads of festivals being celebrated all throughout the year in this country, be it Holi, RakshaBandhan, Diwali or Pongal...Durga Puja's something that always gets my adrenaline racing! I might sound like a racist bastard, but during these days, the knowledge that I'm a Bong makes me extra proud and content!
The real essence of Durga Puja is the fun of pandal hopping with friends and family! Pandal is nothing but a palace sorta structre that's being created to house Ma Durga's idol and this's where the puja's being held! Puja's being conducted by numerous people and families and club organisations as well, be it in Kolkata, Mumbai or even Los Angeles! The fun is to roam around the whole city, visiting the various venues, checking out various Durga idols. Ohkay, I'm sure you must be wondering why the hell should one visit so many places just to see the very same Durga? Well, in various venues, expecially in Kolkata...families and vlb organisations who conduct the pujas, give themes to them. It's almost like the theme parties of the upper echelon of our society! For example, in the thermocol theme..the complete idol as well as the pandal are made by thermocol...then there are themes in which the idols are made of chocolate, matchsticks, rice husks etc. Also, the way the idols are created are also different. Sometimes they have a very ethnic look, or it's hip, and sometimes retro as well ;-)
Was in the mood of letting you guys know the whole history of Durga Puja...why it's being performed...what are the rituals n all! But have absolutely no energy right now! Will think about it some other time. Anyways folks, you sure can keep visiting my page now. I'm back now and shall be writing pretty frequently. Adios & Amen!!
