I Love You




If it weren’t you 
Who would have seen me through 
All my dreams and passions 
Are so known to you 
You nurture my love 
So selflessly 
I keep longing 
For you relentlessly 
No beauty could ever delight 
More than your mere sight 
Words are never enough 
For me to show you 
So I just give you my heart 
And say I love you. 

You talk like the winds 
You smile like the rains 
You soothe all my troubles 
You abate all my pains 
You are innocent as a child 
And sweet as a wish 
At times you are mature 
And at times roguish 
I adore you my dear 
But sometimes I feel 
Are you a dream 
Or are you for real? 
Words are never enough 
For me to show you 
So I just give you my heart 
And say I love you. 

As the world is so big  
And our love so naive 
I need to find our place 
And I need to strive 
For I want to  
Fill your life with glee 
And make a life 
For you and me 
So if my dear 
I stay apart  
And you might not hear 
From me for long 
Just believe in me  
And in my love for you 
Which will never faint 
No matter what  
We go through 
As I have given you my heart 
And here I say I love you.

Days Go By...

It seems like yesterday, when I first stepped into this college, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology. Though it doesn’t cover much land of the Noida Electronic City, but its infrastructure is appreciable. Aryabhatta Bhawan, Academic Block, Learning Resource Centre… all very well planned. I was actually surprised to see that this small building has 3 big lecture theatres, so many classrooms and labs, library, faculty rooms and it is not at all congested.

Ok… Enough about the college.

I was actually scared as I entered the academic block. I had joined this college as a lateral entrant and I was the only new student in second year CS/IT. God!! So many people… I knew nobody. Following the college map, which I got during registration, I reached LT-2 (Lecture Theatre -2). Everyone was standing outside the hall as the previous lecture was still on. Everyone looked at me as if an alien had just came out of nowhere. Well, I was actually an alien to them. A cute girl came to me and asked “Haven’t seen you around. Are you a new student?” I nervously replied,” Yes, I just joined. I came through the lateral entry exams. Can you help me? My batch is B-9 and I know no one around here.” She then said, “Oh… You are in my batch then. Hiiiiiiii… I am Sprih.”  Ohkkk… “Spree!!! As in… that’s it or is it a nick name???” I made a bad start with my batch mate. But she was sweet enough to take it lightly. “No.. hehe.. That’s it, Sprih Harsh.” I gladly shook her hand, “Hi, I am Disha”, I said. I must tell the readers why I emphasized the ‘Hiiiiiiiiii’. Well, this is the signature entry of Sprih. No matter how much one tries to imitate this, it’s best done by her only. Well, it was a nice start as far as the acquaintances are concerned. Next , I met the two dudes of my batch. Sushant, with a goatee and Ankur Thaploo with a wrist band. Lolz… Sushant greeted with a decent friendly smile and said “Welcome to the college.”, whereas Ankur gave a smug look (Which has now become a typical of him… Lolz) and asked, “New Student?”. I just nodded a yes. Then he gave an o-h-k-k nod back to me. All this seemed nice but didn’t allay my nervousness. Then as we moved into the lecture theatre and I met Varsha, Shruti, Chhavi, Kanupriya, Himanshu, Manoj, Shailesh, Utkarsh… (well there were 30 people so m sorry I can’t mention the whole list… But it was a pleasure meeting all of them). Then I met Angad. It may sound funny, but this was the first time in my life that I met a Geek!!! He wore his typical no-smile serious expression and I think he said “Hi…”, Lolz. He was a damn quite guy. I came to know through Shruti that he is a phodu(brilliant) programmer. Cool!!! Then I saw Pulkit. He, greeting me with a quite smile, sat in the row just ahead of me. It was a relief to see Charu in my class as I knew her from school. Though we never had a conversation in school but I wasn’t formal with her at all. She further helped me settle into the batch. Then as the First Lecture wrapped-up and we all started moving out… Someone from our batch shouted, “Chugh Saab!!!”. I turned to see who is this Chugh Saab. This was Tarush, a jolly guy and a total philanderer. Lolz.. Everyone gave me a very warm welcome in the batch. All my anxiety faded away. As time passed I made new friends who were not from my batch. Veni, Nilay, Deepika… I real good bunch of people.  With time my bond grew stronger with some of them. Varsha became Lambu, Deepika became Mullu, Pulkit became Uncle P, Sushant was now just Kaura and Thaploo was for Ankur. Angad became Dangar, Himanshu became Bau, Veni became VT and Nilay became the google guy!!! Sprih, Charu and Tarush also joined my indelible group of special people. I have learnt a lot from all of them and special some really special moments with all of them. Some of them can be seen in these pictures.











How I wish all this didn’t end so abruptly and we could have some more of it. But this is our destiny. In a few days, we all will be walking our different paths, towards new destination, to a new life, but these priceless moments will stay in our hearts forever. I get so scared when I think that one day I’ll wake up and I’ll be alone. None of my friends will be around and I’ll be left reminiscing…

Love you all and wish you all the best for the life ahead.

I've come miles
since i realized myself
One flame inside of me
I had ignited
which has dimmed
since so long.
It flickers to live
but i sim it down
on a pretence
That may be
its not the right time
nor the right move
For now.
but then it haunts
and kills me.
An incessant urge
drains through me
all the alibis
And makes me
to pull it out
from inside and
Wear it all over
Become what
I was meant to be
And stop masquerading
with an empty smile
So no more do i need
any sympathies
For now I am free
From the shackles
Of the rules someone
crafted for me.
Its me and only me
who dictates my world
Coz Thats how
Its meant to be.
Be it a sunny day
or a stormy night
I dont regret
Coz its mine
and I play with it
On my terms.
Now I am at peace
With no regrets
Waiting for
my day to come
When I'll rise to shine
and fill the world
with colors i store
before I faint
with bliss in my eyes.

Let Me Live This Dream

Let me live this dream

With just me

And no one else

Where I feel

Every step I take

Where I sense

Every air I breathe

Where I am aware

Of every moment

That passes by

There’s no past

To cry on

There’s no future

To crave for

It’s just a dream

With me

And no one else

Sitting by the river

I dip my bare feet

Into the rushing stream

It feels so neat

The genteel water

Flows with a pure touch

Something I wanted

For so long

And wind that blows

Sways my hair softly

Like no hands

Could ever do

The stars above

Give an amorous glance

Like they’re their

Just to look after me

The moon tenders more

Its smile delights me

They see me through

And it feels so calm

Then I lay on the grass

It brushes me all over

Softly it puts me to sleep

While I talk to the moon

Deep in my slumber

I feel a warm cuddle

I wake up and find

It’s the sun greeting me

To a wonderful morning

The fresh flowers

Bloom around

The giggling birds

Sing a new rhyme

I experience

The essence of life

Where there’s no one

Who could hurt me

Or put me to cry

No one who could

Scrap me to test my trust

Just love and me

And no one else

In this place

Let me live this dream…

Just me and you...



It needn’t be the sun

It needn’t be the air

It needn’t be the sky

Nor the ground

Just let it be us

And our beautiful love

To make our own

World around…

 

You touched me

Like a gentle breeze

You kissed me

Like the rains

In the shivers of winter

You comfort like the rays

Being with you

Is no less than a dream

So, it needn’t be the breeze

It needn’t be the rain

It needn’t be a season

Nor the rays

Just let it be us

And our beautiful love

To make our dreams

Come true…

 

In the cacophony

Of the life

Your words seem divine

When I am asleep

In your arms

All my pains decline

You shine like a star

In my darkest night

When all goes wrong

You make me feel alright.

So, it needn’t be the joy

It needn’t be a star

Nor a smile

Just let it be us

And our beautiful love

To make a wonderful life

For me and you…

Tashan #$%@$

I am actually jealous of those who didn’t see this movie. And I can’t stop repenting on the two and a half hours sacrifice of my afternoon nap. What did I do to deserve this?? Let us all pray for Vijay Krishna Acharya to develop a better insight on sensible cinema.
(For all those who don’t know who I am talking about, it’s the director of the movie)
Let us come to the characters.
Lakhan Singh aka Bhaiyaji. Played by Anil Kapoor, this was the most irritating character of the movie. For the first time I wanted English subtitles for a Hindi movie!!! What the hell was he saying man. How would you feel if you see Gabbar Singh or Mogambo driving a riksha towards the lead actors to kill them?? Isn’t that stupid? Here you get to see this in the climax when Lakhan Singh, who is supposedly a ruthless don, comes in a riksha and gets killed in one stab by a size zero babe who is all of a sudden possessed by the soul of Michelle Yeoh (crouching tiger hidden dragon)!!!!
Pooja Singh: This one was played by Kareena Kapoor. Her new ultra slim avatar sizzled on the silver and hence was an eye candy for the guyz. In the first half she plays a docile girl who brings Saif down on his knees. Seedhi-sadhi types. Cut-to, a beach, where this supposedly innocent girl comes out of the water in bikini!!! (And guyz start drooling). She sings “Chhaliya Chhaiya..” wearing clothes next to nothing and in the immediate next scene, she is in white suite on the bank on Ganges, for her father’s final ritual!!! I mean common… First she grabs money, sings on the sea-shore seducing all the men in the theatre and then when she’s done with all the spending, she finally goes to Haridwar. Though her performance was good but the plot was pathetic. The worst part was the end, where in the background we have “Tashan hai.. tashan hai..” and the next moment when she kills the villain, the track changes to “Bitiyaaaa…” (daughter) or some crap. No comments.

Jimmy: That is Saif Ali Khan. Whenever you see Saif in a two-hero flick, then we already know “ki boss, saif ka to katne wala hai” and on this matter, the story came up to our expectations. He didn’t have much of an important role. If some lesser actor had played that role then it couldn’t have made much of a difference.

Bachchan Pandey: Played by Akshay Kumar. He was the savior. Its only when he enters the story we can have a few good scenes and a few laughs. So I guess the critics will acquit him. He is truly the best. The only reason one can see this movie.

Well, this just a trailor to all the castigation I can give to the movie. I truly respect individual response to this movie… But as per me, it isn’t worth a 150 bucks ticket.

After the 2 point something hour fiasco, the ending line is,
“Whatz life widout Tashan??”. Hehe.. do I even need to answer that.

The Shez n Hez of An Engineering College

Disclaimer
This article is based mainly on the experiences of students of CS/IT department. Any resemblance to life in any other department is purely coincidental but empathically understandable. It bears no offence to the top rankers and concedes to the notion that engineering is an equally enriching and rewarding career option as any other field.

Moving On…
Who is an Engineering Student??? Well, to put it in simple words… An engineering student is student who is supposed to be technical, is born natural but made to do supernatural tasks at the cost of four most wonderful and could-have-been-eventful years of his or her life.
Other than the definition, there is nothing to oppose the non-existing parallelism in the two categories of and Engineering Student… the She-eng and the He-eng.
No, I am not taking you to a Chinese Engineering scenario. The She-eng is a girl student of an engineering college whereas the He-eng is the boy student of the same. This is no gender discrimination but just a schism on the observed variance in the behavior of two students of the same institute.
Prior to joining the institute, we all are exhilarated with imaginations of a new life… the college life. The guys may dream of having cool gangs, night-outs, suttas and late night boozing. While girls may recollect the beatific scenes from bollywood flicks like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai , RDB n DCH ( well the last two can be counted for guys too) and may have retroactively vitalized their wardrobes. But reality hits them within two days of commencement of the first semester. The joy of cracking the entrance and joining an engineering institute, which obviously elevates your social status, slowly renders away and you are left gleaning the we-will-atleast-have-BTech-degree type feelings. Though, one later realizes that a bigger aim of getting placements is waiting ahead. And as soon as they get their first set of assignments or quizzes, they morph into the main leads of this article, the he-engs and the she-engs.

The She-eng:
• Give them assignments, you’ll have them done on time.
• Exams… not problem boss. Course almost (ALMOST) done till midnight.
• Maximum number of 9 pointers are known to belong to this species.
• Heavy circulation of movies, especially romantic and non-porno, is on till the network connection is alive.
• Gossips: Well, the content is relationship-centric. Who’s-with-who types. It may sometimes divert to the racking nature of the college system or unworkable solutions to lab assignments.
• Seldom get credit for any contribution to their project codes or such technical stuff. Well, this cant bring an argument as only a few She-engs are actually interested in coding and stuff. Most of them just do it for the sake of grades.
• No. of students pursuing engineering out of choice is much lesser than the no. of students pursuing the same due to parental or peer pressure.
• The victims of a “MYTHS”, “its easy for them coz they are girls”, “The whole system is feminist”, “they are here for a degree to get married off nicely, why do they need to slog??”, “blah..blah..blah..”. Give them a break!!!
• Hardly anyone of them plans for Masters in Technical stuff, they are not game to trip up again. Or even if anyone of them plans for MS, they can be found frisking for institutes providing less technical or non-technical courses.

The He-eng:
• Give them an assignment, then, give them the solution too.
• Exams!!!! No problem boss!!!! They’ll somehow manage to know the course till midnight.
• Technically superior species.
• Always accusing the 9 and 10 pointer girls for getting marks because of being-a-girl… and simultaneously busy in playing LAN games even when they have exams on the calendar.
• Heavy circulation of movies, especially pornos, is on till the network connection is alive.
• Always wonder what are girls doing in a technical institute but at the same time die for their presence.
• Always busy showing off their Technical Know-How’s and What’s-in’s, especially when they know that the receiving station is a dumb terminal.
• Using their technical skills in fetching proxies for “blocked” sites, which may lie in any category.
• Gossips: They may be chit-chatting about gadgets and stuff (to show who’s a bigger geek) but the content is girl-centric. Think of cheapest talks and you can have it from them. Though some sensible stuff can still be expected.
• Most of them planning for Masters in Technical stuff only.
• No. of students pursuing engineering out of choice is much greater than the no. of students pursuing the same due to parental or peer pressure.
• Generally, its hard for them to take it when a she-eng scores higher in a technical subject. So they just blame… “Oh.. she’s a mugger.. I can’t blindly mug things you see”.

Well, it go on like this. But I’ll stop here as its just about divaricating among engineering students. If you think that I am being a feminist, then, gimme points for the He-engs or if you think I missed out some points on the she-side, again feedback is most welcomed. You points will also be added. Hehe… enjoy.

5 Things we learn in our Lecture Theatre

1. Clemency

Human diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue; it makes it a requirement for survival.

-----Celebrations of Life
Tolerance is actually a requirement for survival. I mean, who can understand this better than a student who has short attendence and so he or she has to sit through the drag. In fact, almost all the students pay a visit to this place for attendence only. I can bet that if suddenly our lecturer starts teaching in spanish, none us would mind. Rather we would blindly continue nodding our heads!!!
2.Endurance
Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.
After reading point (1) you must have understood the rhythm of this blog and so you can very well comprehend what I mean by endurance here. But its not just sitting through the lecture. There is a constant war inside you. Sitting in the lecture theatre, one is at constant altercation with self. The questions like, " Why did I come in when my friends were planning to go out?", "Where is this lecture going to take me?", etc. generally pop up in one's mind and the outside view from the window garnishes the resentment. But this is the test. You've got to sit and keep sitting. Fight your thoughts. Parry the sluggishness in you, for if you sleep and the teacher catches you, you will be chucked out without attendence and your sole purpose will be defeated.
3. Team Work
No, I am not talking about the synergy between student and the teacher but that between the student and the fellow mates. All of us are here for the common aim. So it is our duty to prevent the other person from sleeping by occasional pinching or prodding. Keep them busy in topics such as latest gadgets, teacher's diction, crush-list etc. Do it for the sake of humanity. And yes not to forget, show full cooperation in case of surprize tests or proxy checking. This is the essence of life in the Lecture Theatre.
4. Discovering our hidden talents
During the lecture, we may resort to drawing strange figures on the back of our notebook, which may even be a cartoon sketch of the teacher. By the end of the lecture you may end up unearthing the hidden artist in you. You may proudly add one more hobby in your CV. Not only drawing, you can also discover the hidden writer in you by penning down your jeremiads like me!!!
5. Optimism
You witness the live example of the quotation After the darkest night, comes the dawn. This is when your frustation reaches the ultimate level and you are about to drop dead, the lecture is over. See... It came to an end na. Besides, lecture theatre provides a romantic ambience. Everthing becomes still, clock stops ticking, you can hear your heart beat and blah blah... so its a nice chance to daydream for a full hour or to keep looking at your crush in the class, if any.
This was what I learnt. I am sure your experiences must have been equally enriching. If you got enlightened on some more aspects than those written above please share through comments. I will include them as well, with your name.
After all Lecture Theatres are not that bad!!!
"I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains. "

Staying Alive


College days are the Golden Days... crap. When you are in JIIT, it becomes the greatest challenge for you to survive through it. After all the lectures, assignments, minors and not to forget, the gruelling projects, you can actually feel each and every nerve of your brain pumping. Yet we stand nowhere... thanks to our curriculum. So, to abate my miseries as a JIITian, I am here to share a few of my experiences with all the readers. All the engineering students may actually empathize with us.

(Psst.. the names are changed)


Languishing in Prof.Kumar's lecture at thirty five past two, post lunch, I was wondering if there is an Almighty who is watching us struggle against the most apathizing lecture of our life.

I appreciate the great effort and perseverance of my colleagues who are here to share this life-time experience with me. All of us now surely have a story of survival to tell our kids. If there is anyone who could understand us in this whole lecture hall, its us. All for one and one for all.


I could very well understand what my fellow mates are going through by their helpless expressions. Arti flaking off, Priya sitting in front of the prof and trying her best to read her novel. Kiran and Adi, on my left, were trying to salvage themselves with music, it was Kiran's ipod actually. Dev on my otherside is fighting to crack problems on ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS!!! Sitting calmly, I am trying to capture this desolating moment in my diary, trying to cash up my vocab. This is just about the five of us. But the air of boredom truely permeates through the hall.

There are some people who are a real pain in the neck, like, Ms. Doubtfire. She had an ulterior motive in coming to this lecture and listening to it.... Oil-firing the torture. That female is actually putting up her doubts!!! Well, I too had a doubt.. What the hell are we doing here???

I guess, we, the students, must always be prepared for this slaughter since the day we join this institute.

While I was about to spill some more ink on this paper, the scheduled 50 minutes of the lecture were up. This rose our restlessness to leave the lecture hall. Just then Arti shouts, "Time up", though in a low-fi, but loud enough to bring a sigh of relief to everyone.

BUT BUT BUT... Kumar still refuses to give up. Its his race against time. I feel like yelling "Is there a MAN in this hall who can stop this inhumane execution of our emotions???". I think I know the answer...

Its ten minutes since the lecture's time got over and we are still here. Helpless and appalled.

The Butterfly... short story

This one's a nice motivational story. I had it with me since a long time and I think its worth sharing. So.. It goes like this...
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us.
We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!

Without you...


Life as I know
Has a void without you
Every season’s green
Every day blues without you
Won’t you ever come and see
How much … I need you

Wherever I’d go
Whenever I’d breathe
Wherever I’d fall
Whenever I’d weep
I craved your arm
To hold
I needed your words
To trust
But it never happened
And you never came to see
How much … I need you

I wanna walk
Holding your hands tight
I want your shoulders
And see through dim and bright
Won’t you hug me
When the night is cold
Won’t you be with me
When I grow old
Won’t you ever bother to feel
How much … I need you

I missed you so much
While you were away
I sobbed in the dark
On that Valentine’s Day
Waiting for you
I fell asleep
Never to wake up
I went so deep
And then came an angel
Stole every tear
Who promised to love
And always stay near
He made me me
Now I’m in bliss
But I still hope
Someday you’d know
How much … I needed you.

My favourite Color

Red
It is a bright, warm color that evokes strong emotions.
It is associated with love, warmth, and comfort.
It is also considered an intense, or even angry, color that creates feelings of excitement or intensity.



Colors in the red area of the color spectrum are known as warm colors and include red, orange, and yellow. These warm colors evoke emotions ranging from feelings of warmth and comfort to feelings of anger and hostility.



The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Since it is an extreme color, red clothing might not help people in negotiations or confrontations. Red cars are popular targets for thieves. In decorating, red is usually used as an accent. Decorators say that red furniture should be perfect since it will attract attention.
The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Sports teams sometimes paint the locker rooms used by opposing teams bright pink so their opponents will lose energy.

Why d-effect???

This question may come to you on reading the title.
Well, no deep logic for that( In fact its vague... but thats my style). My frenz call me D. So I wanted to let this blog be the D-effect. Lolz...
I am Disha but unlike my name I am directionless. There are tonnes of things I want to do and I am in a fix when I have to choose one. Basically...JACK OF ALL!!!
