Change is the only constant.

Posted by krinish in Bangalore, General on 13-06-2009

Oh yeah, things have changed, and how fast?

For a start I have got a new job. Its been a month now since I started my new job and Ive enjoyed evrybit of what it has offered, new place, new people and not to mention the beautiful chicks all around. I rather keep it at that, about the gals, dont want my post make a bang at my workplace.

Just before joining my new company, I had badly sprained my ankle and today i confirmed from a specialist, that its a 2nd degree ligament tear and will require rest and some fiberglass casting and would cost 4k. The pain when I twisted my ankle over a crumbling piece of cement was a pain like no other. I thought I broke my ankle, I just sprung myself to ground as if a bullet had bit me in the butt.

Rafael nadal lost in french open before QF’s, I didnt see that one coming. It took me two complete days to get over that. Roger ponced on the opportunity to win his 1st grand slam on clay and probably last of his career. He has had a cake walk for the past 6 years with clowns like roddick and hewitt, making it easy for him. When Rafa came around, he made sure the arrogant swiss was not winning much. Now roger has tougher challenges from Djokovic, and murray. So long roger..

I know its been long since I last posted, ill slip in a post or two whenever I get time.

Humans under attack

Posted by krinish in General on 04-04-2009

Its time for another weird dream of mine. This time its aliens attacking humans.

The humans included me, My family and my doodhwalla(dont know what he was doing in my dream, but he was running for his life)

So it goes like this, out of nowhere, Aliens start bombing us, and im running for cover , the alein ship starts passing over our head slowly bombing one place at a time and we can tell the target, as the ship displays a complicated area map in the sky, that would show where the bomb will hit the gound.

Im running for cover and the heat wave of the blast at nearby places is killing a lot of humans in the vicinity, and I quickly run  over a  concrete water tank filled with water to the brim and drown myself till my nose is exposed soo i could breath…

I shout out to my mom to come running and take shelter behind the thank. there is one more guy with me in the tank and i havent got the frigging idea of who he was…

Well the dream went on and I was running helter skelter and never was killed…

Damm i need to find better work to do,  than writing my dreams as blogs.

Summer’s here

Posted by krinish in General on 01-04-2009

The magic of spring is slowly fading with the onset of the ruthless summer sun. The Pink blossoms that had the whole of the city wrapped in its awesome colors, is now gone.

I slept the whole day, and the electricity was playing up. I couldn’t notice how many times  it went and then came back.

But it was a misery. I was sweating soo bad, that I had a weird dream of being cast away on some island and then floating away on a wooden raft….for the better half of my dream…

I feel soo miserable to be working in night shift without having slept properly during the day.

But I guess there would be many more such days comingi, with lengthy power outages and then the simmering sun making it all worse.

Winter is great here in Bangalore, but summer has been ever soo cruel every passing year. I guess its due to the global warming thing.

Still here, alive but not kicking!!!

My sad and sorry maybes
Don’t get me far
Shortcomings tell you who you are

Been down a lot lately
Been down a lot
Been down a lot
and I know
how it goes

Things pass in time
That’s what they say
Forgive forget and fade away

Been down a lot lately
Been down a lot
Been down a lot
and I know
how it goes

Love’s not lost

Posted by krinish in General on 12-10-2008

I dug up some of my old stuff in my gmail archieved folder. This is a poem I sent to a girl once I loved and it was during the dying days of our relationship. No idea of what has happened with her life since then. Hope she goes on to live one of the most happiest’s of life with lots of love and peace.

The poem is written quite beautifully by Judy Burnette.

So here it is

 

I always wanted more from you
than you were willing to give;
So now we’ve gone our separate ways
each with different lives to live.

The bond will always be there
the friendship always intact;
But the time for us has come and gone
and the pages of time, you can’t turn back.

I will always be a friend to you
and wonder how you are;
The smiles and laughter I will remember
and our fights have become painless scars.

Sometimes on those busy days
when you’ve a thousand things to do;
Please let me glide slowly through your mind
and spend some time with you.

In that quiet moment
when you’re surprised to find me there;
Just remember even with the distance between us
I am still someone who cares.

 Luv 4ever
 
Krinish

 

Its quite amazing how we all as humans cling onto our memories no matter how old it is, no matter how old we get, no matter if it was tear or sorrow.

There’s a sweet pain in that, to know that you never got what you wanted, but just the thought of ‘what if’, keeps us going.

Forever Gone but Forever in Our Hearts

This awful news my world did rock.
No one knew how it happened or why.
We were all so sad; it made me cry.
How unfair it should have happened now -
Won’t someone ever tell me how?
God chose this time for his life to yield.
We will miss him forever as though he had just gone.
We’ll never forget all the good he had,
We love him, we miss him bad;
And on this I’ll forever bet.
>From us he’ll never be truly apart.

———————————————————————

We will Miss you Kris, your flashing head and that undying spirit, will always bring a smile to me. Some good times we shared and that has etched forever in my memory.
