Anyway. I just cannot digest the fact that BECKETT GETS FREAKING SHOT at the end of the last episode. And yes. Do they show if she survives, at LEAST? Na-a. They leave us precariously hanging off the edge of the cliff, about to fall any minute. And pretty much ready to jump as well, thanks to the frustration.

I mean. SHE GETS SHOT. Okay?! And at that AUSPICIOUS moment, Castle has to tell her he loves her. Twice. Friggin’ twice. And the fact that she’s SHOT (!!!!!!) pretty much ensures that he does not get any sort of reply/reaction. Be it an ‘I love you’ back at him or a cuff on the head.

And when does the fourth season start? SEPTEMBER. Sep-freaking-tember. How. Am. I. Supposed. To. Survive. Until. Then?! Don’t you DARE tell me to survive by eating and breathing.

And. The worst part of it all. Kate gets shot! :’( I cried at the end of the episode, I swear. It was a spectacular episode, one that played with your emotions as well. How DO these people ACT like this?! I mean, in all the other TV shows I’ve watched, I’ve never seen such splendid acting. It’s like they’ve become the characters themselves! Yeah sure, How I Met Your Mother is awesome, Gossip Girl is awesome, la la la. But the thing is, it’s pretty easy to act those characters you know? I mean, I’m not talking like some kind of expert here. But it really is. Whereas in Castle it really IS difficult.

Stana Katic is just amazing. W-O-W. She’s like a real cop!

Anyway. Beckett. Is THE MOST AMAZING female character in television. There hasn’t been a single other character who has made me want to be her so badly! Well, except for Annabeth in Percy Jackson I suppose.  :P I mean, her life is pretty bad actually, what with her mom and stuff. But what is amazing is the strength of her mind, the way she acts brave even when she isn’t really, just to keep others at ease. She’s like this really amazing woman you know? Unlike all the sluttish types who just run behind every member of the opposite sex they happen to chance upon. She’s someone you can really look up to.

And unlike the usual crap TV churns out, this show is actually really good!

I’m so glad there’s good stuff like this to combat all the dreadful stuff like Twilight. I mean, balance you know? We can’t be completely pervaded by crap. We need something to keep us anchored and remind us that something called ‘good’ actually exists in today’s entertainment industry! xP

Okay. I’m getting too serious. Anyway. I LOVE CASTLE. <3 Even though the makers are complete sadists.

I canNOT wait for the next season. Why oh WHY can’t it come faster? =(

People suck. At least, most of them do. You get this impression about them, but it pretty much always changes soon. Something happens that makes you see them in a new light.

Be it friend or enemy. Isn’t it just strange how a really close friend can turn into an enemy over time, while an enemy can become a best friend? Time. Time is what wrecks basically everything you have until you have only yourself left.

In life, people will hurt you. They will undermine your own opinion of what you are. They will make you think you’re worthless, boring, basically everything you’ve assumed you’re not. But DON’T BELIEVE THEM.

Believe in YOU. Believe in what you are. And don’t let some stupid bitch you once called ‘best friend’ change all that.

Who says, who says you’re not perfect, who says you’re not worth it, who says you’re the only one that’s hurting?

No one should change you, or make you reconsider who you are. Because you, and only you, know that.

People like this will try to make life miserable for you. By trying to instigate people against you. By insulting you. By bitching about you.

You know what? they’re just not worth your time. IGNORE THEM.

And as for the shit they say? Those who matter won’t believe it. And those who believe it just don’t matter.

Call me kiddish. But I LOVE those books. And OHMYGOSHHHHHHH the second part of the spin-off series The Heroes Of Olympus will be released on OCTOBER AAAAAHHHHH AND GUESS WHAT THE PROTAGONIST IS PERCY THIS TIME AAAAAAH!

Ok. Calm now.

I wish I lived in the US because maybe I could attend the MEGA HUGE book release party then. BUT NO NO NOOO I LIVE AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE IN THE FREAKING MIDDLE EAST AND CAN JUST SIT AND DREAAAM ABOUT IT while studying for some or the other exam, no doubt. No freaking doubt. WHHHHHHAAAYYY?! Am I so unlucky? I have been marked my the heavens to endure the pain of studying while the even tof THE YEAR (at least according to me. For you it might be some kind of a nonsense party but I’m not that much of a partier, thank you very much. Partying definitely takes its toll on you and leaves you exhausted. You can just sit at home and read instead. A gazillion times better and INFINITELY more satisfying, believe mje.)

*Wails*

I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school I hate my school

I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE I HATE CBSE WAY MORE

Also, copy and paste is totally underrated.

Anyway.  So all of you out there must be wondering, “What the hell is this CBSE thingy this insane person is talking about? I’m outta here.” Except for all those Indians who know full well not only WHAT CBSE is, but the way it tortures us and makes us BEG for mercy. Which never comes, by the way.

So basically, CBSE is a curriculum. Which all Indian schools all over the world are obliged to follow. I think. Anyway, I attend a CBSE curriculum school. And let me tell you, it is HELL. COMPLETE HELL.

The number of exams and tests they make you write? OVERWHELMING. FREAKING OVERWHELMING. They bring in all kinds on new ideas, and they think they are being SO marvellously clever and smart that clever and smartness would be jealous. But we all know what they REALLY are. CUNNING. EVEN MORE CUNNING THAN FOXES AND WOLVES FROM SOME KIDS’ TALES. And WHY, you ask me? Because they implement new examination systems every year, and pretend as if they are doing us some big huge favour, when they are NOT. They are SO NOT. And the worst part? I am pretty sure they know it too. They are sadists who gain pleasure from seeing us in crippling pain.

Okay, in case there are any CBSE lovers around [Do they even exist?] I may be exaggerating the slightest bit. So you don’t need to go all “You are a lazy sucker” on me, thank you. And even if you did see this, it wouldn’t make the slightest bit of difference because guess what? THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION PROVIDES THE RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO ITS CITIZENS! And while I do not reside in India, I AM AN INDIAN CITIZEN! I HAVE MY PASSWORD FOR PROOF! SO YOU CAN BUZZ RIGHT OFF!

Okay, WAY too much Social Studies. And why, you ask? Because my wonderful, much awaited examinations are going on. I was being sarcastic, by the way, in case you’re too thick to get it, or lack a sarcasm radar, in which case I sympathize with you.

Anyway, the social exam went good. But I see gloomy prospects ahead for Science. I know that makes me sound like a bizarre Trelawney, but it doesn’t really change things. Oh, and I see SUCH gloomy prospects ahead for Math that they are currently inexpressible. I know Trelawney is an old fraud, but if I hired her now and made her give me one of her horrible predictions, she wouldn’t be too far off the mark.

I have to retire to my bed chamber now. Goodnight, ya’all! It feels good to be back. ^^

I am on the WARPATH right now. Like LITERALLY.

I was suffering from acute boredom today morning, staring at the facebook homepage with a glum look on my face [at least, what I assume was a glum look, since I don't make a point of placing mirrors wherever I go], when an imaginary lightning bolt (sent by an imaginary Zeus) struck me. I could update my blog! Which I haven’t updated in the past few millenia! So I tried to access WordPress from Google Chrome. Notice the ‘tried to’. Although I have been instructed by certain people [*ahem ahem* Rameshji *ahem ahem*] that saying ‘tried to’ is merely escapism, in this case it is not. It is NOT. Thanks to my wondrous (not) luck, Google Chrome suddenly turned abysmally slow and staunchly refused to display the page. I waited till the point where I just COULD NOT wait any longer. Needless to say, this killed half of my enthusiasm. Half heartedly, I headed to Netscape Navigator. I do not prefer to use this browser much. It just doesn’t seem to work for me. Anyway, I reached the ‘New Post’ page and then started typing my long and dismal tale. I happened to look away for a second. When I looked back at the screen, it’s all disappeared except for a single ‘n’. Just because I happened to click my mouse. Wow. What an amazing surprise! At this point, needless to say, I was seething with anger. And I typed all this again. In a crazed frenzy.

I must be the most patient person of the 21st century. Anyone who went through the same ordeal would probably throw their laptop out of the balcony in a fit of rage. I am definitely not as patient as Sir Issac Newton, because- well, I think we all know the story. That one in which his dog Diamond burned his papers by mistake? Anyway, I am probably one of the most patient people living. And it would be nice if a few people could actually bother to read this post. At least my effort would be worthwhile. I am getting zero readers [I think] which is probably my own fault since I haven’t posted in a long time, but whatever. A blogger still likes people reading their blog, you know? Even if he/she hasn’t posted in a long time. And anyway, the great Aiswarya is back with yet another random post. At least, as random as you can get when all you want to do is to just slash your laptop with one of those celestial bronze swords. (As mentioned in Percy Jackson) I don’t know if they work on machines, though. They just pass through mortals apparently, but since machines cannot be counted as ‘mortals’….anyway, I better work on crafting a celestial bronze sword capable of slaying the great menace that is my laptop. Maybe that would motivate my parents to BUY.A.NEW.ONE.

Furiously yours

Honestly speaking, I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO WRITE! But I can’t! Reasons already mentioned!

Anyway. Valentine’s day is coming up. And I don’t have a valentine. YAY! No seriously. I’m quite happy about that. I like to live a drama free life, thank you very much. And at this point, I think I should add that it never works out. Trying to keep drama out of my life, I mean. Thanks to my extremely dramatic friends who, plainly speaking, make a mountain out of a molehill.

Oookhay. I cannot concentrate on my writing because my parents are watching some crap on the TV which interferes with my concentration span.

Anyway, my valentines for this year are my friends Pragya, Anvita, Shreya, Anisha, Diya and Aishwarya [Another one ], Maurell, Sangrila and Najiya who made 2009 one of the best years of my life. :’) I love you all so much! <3

Oh my gosh! I’ve used SO many ‘anyways’! :O

Okay. I’m rambling now.

Oh shit, I FORGOT ABOUT THE SCIENCE HOMEWORK! *Dashes to room and dashes back here again* Be back later guys!

PS: I have posted this merely for my own satisfaction as nobody really views my blog.

I have no idea whether to keep these blog or not!
You know, sometimes, when this overwhelming pessimism pervades you and you feel like you can’t write anymore?

Oh, of course, you’ve got brilliant ideas waiting in your head for release. But you feel like you just can’t work your way around them anymore?

There may be no change at all. You are just the person you were. If you were good at writing, you still are. But this inexplicable pessimism that sweeps through you, inundates you, changes everything. Really. Now you start feeling all kinds of negative feelings infiltrate your head. You start feeling like you’re crap at the whole writing thing anyway, so what IS the point of going on? What if you really ARE bad at it? What if you are kidding yourself when you try to act like a sophisticated writer? This post is kind of like an emotional tirade, I think. What is the use of trying to hone your skills when you haven’t got any?

This may seem very strange to anyone who reads this, because people who know me personally are well-versed with the fact that I am a very excited, happy, optimistic, affable, hyperactive kind of person most of the time. This side of me must be pretty recondite. But right now- well, not RIGHT now, for the past few days, actually- I haven’t been feeling any of this about my writing.

And you know what? When you feel this way, it starts having its influence on you. And sooner or later (well, sooner more like) it has you down. Yeah, its over. Kapow. You suck at writing. And you MAY have been good at it earlier. But your wonderful mind has spoilt it all for you. Wow! Isn’t this just what you wanted?

Okay, I don’t think ANYBODY has seen me this down. Maybe its the inclement weather? Maybe it all just points to the fact that I need to believe in myself and be more self confident and assertive. But whatever it is. When I feel this way, I cannot write well. At all. I think. Everything is a trick of the mind, don’t you think? Argh! I’m FED UP OF THE WORD ‘THINK’!

And of course, my peevish sister definitely has something to do with it. Actually, a LOT to do with it. I think Pragya understands what I’m talking about.

I hope I will be back! My slightly effusive, excited self that is!

HOLIDAY HOMEWORK IS A NECESSARY EVIL

Holiday homework is a concept which has engendered mixed reactions among people. Holiday homework was originally introduced in order to keep students busy during vacation. It is said that an idle mind is a devil’s workshop. In order to avoid idling and the squandering of precious time and to ensure those holidays were spent productively and fruitfully, schools started doling holiday homework onto students. Students generally tend to get lazy and loose track of their priorities during this time, and this just festers with the progress of each day. Eventually, when the school reopens, students are jolted awake from this reverie and take time to get adjusted to the turbulent and hectic school schedule. So, we can say that holiday homework has definitely assured that students are kept occupied and also clinches a smooth start to the semester or the new academic year. This may prove extremely useful especially if the holidays are rather lengthy. There is also a propensity for students to get bored in the holidays and holiday homework may assist in revoking boredom as well.

However, a large number of parents and students are of the opinion that holidays are meant to be spent in merriment, mentally recharging for the coming semester or year. They believe that holiday homework unnecessary keeps the students’ nose to the grindstone. They also assume that holiday homework expunges the students’ right to free time. Some people estimate that students may be better off unfettered, without any commitments, during the holidays, as a fair share of work and play is required. It has also been argued that due to inertness, the holiday homework handed in by students tends to be rather perfunctory and not up to the mark.

Faced with so many arguments, one is forced to come to the conclusion that a small amount of holiday homework is incumbent. However, if an overwhelming amount is handed out, the whole concept of a holiday is lost. But if none is given, it may prove susceptible as well. Therefore, the best conclusion is to ascertain that small amount is allotted and the work done is excellent and not of mediocre quality.

Okay! I THINK I feel better….

And I MUST thank all the fan pages on facebook. They can be intensely thought-stimulating.

Anyway, my point is that it was one such fan page which brought this idea to my head.

Okay. Coming back to the topic at hand.

First and foremost. Smoking. Why is it considered cool? It is an extremely lethal and detrimental habit. But we all know that. I think most of us are well educated about the ill-effects of smoking, so I really don’t have to bring it up here. You can google it though. It will probably do you a lot of good. Anyway. What is smoking basically? Why do people smoke? People smoke because the drug smoked, nicotine, offers temporary ‘relief’ from pain, anxiety and agony. These are, admittedly, emotions which are-urm- not very pleasant, putting it lightly- and so, many people prefer to run away from them. To escape them. To seek whatever temporary relief they can. But do you think they can be eluded for long? And while so much nicotine is inhaled in the process, it just makes the consequences (because, of course, there are consequences for every action) worse. Nicotine is a drug which deludes or lulls you into a sense of security when it is actually eating you away. It is sabotaging you. Cowardice is never a solution for anything, but, of course, when faced with agonizing emotions, it might seem like the only way. But no, it isn’t! Never cower before anything, because you have been granted the power to overcome it. Life is full of ups and downs. Which is something very commonly heard (and very exasperating), but it is true, and there is no way of eluding the truth. We must take whatever comes along in our stride, instead of resorting to self-destructive activities like smoking. Smoking is something whose long term effects are never predicted. They can be, but they are not. But this is not the only reason people resort to smoking. Many people resort to smoking due to peer pressure too. Peer pressure! *snorts* This is something I will have to regard with utter contempt because someone who forces or encourages you partake in something so insidious is not a real ‘peer’ at all! And they should not be regarded so! At the height of teenage years, trying to do whatever your friends or the ‘popular‘ people do might very well seem like the basic aim of your life, but believe me, it is not! I mean, who gives a shit to what the ‘popular’ people think if what they are doing is..plainly and simply put..wrong? It also means that you lack individuality and have an indispensable need to self-actualize.

I have noticed that the reason for most major problems in the world is this. Trying to be like ‘cool’  people. I mean, seriously. That brings me to ANOTHER major problem in the world. Why the hell do people wear leather and animal fur clothes? It is TOTALLY obvious. To be like the blonde bimbo Paris Hilton and many other starlets like her, who are so out of job that they have nothing better to do except flash their ‘assets’ around everywhere (Can’t they keep them to themselves?) and say things like ‘That’s huge!’ in a stupid squeaky girly voice. Seriously, let’s get honest here. Why do a majority of us pore so thoroughly over celebrity magazines, when we can peruse something useful (like books) instead? Why do we prefer to waste our time over celebrity ‘beauty’ advice when we can spend that time more productively? Why are we so well educated about every word a celebrity speaks, when we fail to answer a single question asked from our school textbooks? Because we want to be like them! That is the simple and evident answer! Though many of us may try to deny it, you have got to admit it is true. Look a little more deeply into yourselves.

And this is what makes me wonder, why do we have to be such a superficial race? I think teenagers are a race apart from other human beings. Why are we so perturbed about the way we look and about how the opposite sex perceives us, when there are so many astoundingly vital problems taking place, like global warming (mostly caused by us) for us to obsess over? Why? WHY? Is it something majorly wrong in our genetic make-up, or what? I can never come up with a suitable conclusion concerning this question, because I myself, very blandly, do not understand the importance we teenagers give to looks. Because I never really have. Well, maybe once or twice, but I do not worry obsessively about the way I look. Why do we dismiss such major world problems to be ‘lame’ and not worth our time??

And additionally, animals have rights too. They were also very much been placed upon this earth like us by God. Just because we are a presiding or a ruling race, due to a few advantages we have over these creatures (like the power of speech) it doesn’t mean that we have the right to mercilessly sabotage the rights of these animals. I mean, killing them for food I can kind of understand, though I am a vegetarian. That is basically how the food cycle was supposed to come about. (I think) But why kill them to dress your freaking self up? Why?? Just because they lack the power of speech does not mean they do not have rights!! It is not right to exploit them and deprive them of basic and fundamental rights every being on this earth deserves!

And, well, I do not need to mention global warming. We all know why it is cause and who, in particular, cause it.

To bring about changes for the better, the most vital thing is to never, ever succumb to pressure from others. Do what you think is right. (Well, not if you think wearing animal skin is right, but whatever)

Basically, it is we who are annihilating and demolishing our mother earth, and, most importantly, ourselves. So, snap out of it! You are not the centre of the earth. The earth does not revolve around you. Well, NOTHING revolves around you. Get real! There are real problems in the world, besides that huge new zit on your forehead.
