Waiting
I am waiting for my friend...
My very close friend....
A close friend who has gone to visit those who are waiting ...
I am waiting for my dear friend to return...
Return so that I get to spend sometime...
Sometime talking and talking and more talking...
Talking since its the only thing we can do...
We can do because we are so far away...
So my friend, please come soon...
I miss you...

To all inquisitive friends!!!

Inquisitive:- Defined as
1. given to inquiry, research, or asking questions; eager for knowledge; intellectually curious
2. unduly or inappropriately curious; prying.

So why the definition and what is this all about. Well, this is in connection to my most recent cause of worry or rather frustration. It all started with Orkut.... So, what about it? Orkut is a wonderful community as in it helped me get my old school mates, friends from 1st standard, long lost neighbors or aquaintances whom I would have never got to meet if not for this wonderful online community linking people by common interest. I cannot think of any possible chance of meeting half of these people if not for orkut. But then all attractions bring trouble in many forms.

Whoever I meet after a long gap want to know my latest whereabouts, and thats an apt claim too. Of course thats what friends are meant to be, ask about the wellbeing of their old friends. But something I dont understand. What makes people so inquisitive? Why they want to know everything about me, my present occupation, my marital status and personal questions even beyond this. If there's something I want to make public, I'll do it. And if there's something that I have to announce I'll do it. Thats an advantage of the internet and the orkut community, but questions even beyond that is what I dont understand. I dont want to entertain strangers, there's a big difference between those of whom I call friends and mere aquaintances.

Well coming to think of it in the end, who am I to change the world? What I preach is not going to make a difference in anyone else, nor the attitude of people. The world's a stage and I'm just an actor in it, a poor little irritated girl trying to convince...
Return of spring!!!
Seems like its exactly a month since I posted my last blog. Well, am not sure how many readers visit my blog, and I dont have a particular theme or topic to blog. I write whatever I want, enjoying the spirit and freedom of the webworld, freedom to speak and write.
I was busy last month with my exams, and as a Masters student I have to be busy during my exam week atleast, and then it was holiday season, visiting friends and family, hmmm this Xmas just visiting old friends. I really enjoyed my vacation to Baton Rouge, to visit my undergrad friends, tho i didnt get much time to spend with them. Anyway thats all gone now, another new day, a new week and the start of yet another spring semester. I enjoy the spring semester particulary, though there's more holidays in the fall semester. Spring gives a whole new start to me, and a burst of energy for the whole year to come.
Enjoy the spring !!!!!!!!!! Good luck all.
