It's great that we live in a life surrounded by material objects. These are things that can be replaced. These are things that we choose to buy or borrow and keep so that we can live in style. Sometimes we get them because it is a necessity. We are also in a great position to choose our friends, whom we like/dislike etc. We can choose what life we lead, what we want to study etc.

But we cannot choose our family.

The family cannot be replaced. You cannot choose your brother or your parents. They cannot be replaced. These are the people who will never let you down. So never let them down. Love your sibling and cherish every moment you spend with them, whether it is a fight or sharing a joke moment. You share a special connection with your sibling, realise it and keep it strong.

Try to make it as strong as possible, because you never know what may happen in the future. He/she will be gone and then all you will be left with are photos, videos and memories. The times you fought, the times you laughed, the times you hated each other...they will keep haunting you.
Only Time can heal, so let it. A person cannot be replaced, so forget it.

Ponder (refer to "Analyse this")

- A Bubble is round because it is the most energy efficient configuration for it to exist in and hence attains stability. It has a minimum energy surface. For more details..ask some science kid or your proffesor.

- Yeah, blinking is same as winking with two eyes at the same time. Only difference is that the person you are winking (blinking??) at will not realise...so why do it? Just a thought.

- The parallel universe theory has not been proved. If anyone has seen the movie K-Pax that person will agree with me. As Prot (Kevin Spacey) tells Dr. Mark Powell (Jeff Bridges) in the end, the universe will expand and then contract. It will then expand again and then contract again. This cycle will continue....FOREVER.
What we must realise is that, we as human beings will keep making the same mistakes we make in our lives over and over again in each cycle. It is upto us to change that and rectify our errors. It is we who decide how we lead our lives.
So, it doesn't really matter whether parallel universes exist. It is what you do in this life that makes a difference.

- Manholes are round because they no matter which way you try to put the lid back on the manhole, ..it always fits perfectly. Imagine a rectangle manhole. There are so many possibilities of placing the lid the wrong way. Infact, if you put it vertically ie. the shorter side facing downwards....the lid will just go right through the hole. With a circle that is not possible. Full marks to the reader who answered this correctly :) .

- Why are girls so complex? They are not the only ones. We are all complex. No one knows why we are complex but we do know that we are complex. Is this getting too complex? No? That's cool.

We are complex because of our actions and thoughts. We have emotions. Too many sometimes. And now I am talking like I know everything in this world. Why did I just write what I wrote? Because I felt like answering a question. ----> Why? I don't know, it's complex.

(My apologies to the reader who thought this question was too gender biased. I agree that it is, so I am sorry)

---------------------------------

I had to write this in the blog. I saw Norbit on saturday. Don't you ever watch it.

I went with my friends to the cinema hall with no particular movie in mind. We reached Odeon and we had to choose between Norbit, Ghost Rider or Becoming Jane. No one was really sure of which movie to watch, so people were saying they want to watch GhostRider, but they do not mind Norbit etc.

I didn't want us to waste anymore time, so I told my friends that if no one is sure of what to watch, lets watch Norbit. BIG MISTAKE.

I spent 100 minutes of my precious time in boredom. It was supposed to be a comedy but all I could laugh at was Eddie Murphy who plays Norbit/the wife/ Mr. Wong. She is called Rasputia!!! She is humungous. She has flab and fat all over her body. She is ugly.

Thandie Newton comes in trying to rescue the film but she fails. Cuba Gooding Jr. has a short role and is ok.

I got the feeling that Eddie Murphy was trying to show off his acting skills and his impresseive chinese accent. The movie is funny in parts with the best scene coming in the middle, when Rasputia shows that she is no chicken when it comes to having fun on a water slide. Imagine 500 pounds of fat coming at you from the top of a looooong water slide. You cannot? Good, don't even try to. It is totally stupid. Stupid Stupid Stupid...and I cannot believe Eddie Murphy was allowed to release this movie.

No wonder, it has a rating of 2.8 at IMDB. ( http://imdb.com/title/tt0477051/ )

I do not think I will ever be forgiven by my friends for taking me on the most boring 100 minutes of their life. It was even boring than normal uni lectures!!. But, mistakes happen. Norbit? It should be renamed to a definite..No hit.

Finito.

  Pic left side(l to r) : Nobu, Himanshu, me, Brishni. Pizza Pronto. As we sat there waiting for our pizzas, each one came up with some of the best impersonations ever. Ofcourse, as a 3rd person you will not understand what we are talking about or who we are impersonating. But, it was hilarious...and we laughed so hard. Good times. These are the little things that you will remember the most once you graduate and leave Uni life. So I am recording it all on video and photographs.

  Arsenal 1 - 1 PSV Eindhowen (1-2 Aggregate)
  
  And with another lapse of concentration, Arsenal FC is out of another tournament. It's becoming a habit now. We play attractive football, create chances but when the chances come we don't score. Arsenalitis - The condition of a football team which creates chances and wastes them.
  
  
  The situation was worsened with Thierry Henry (in the picture to the left) breaking something in his body again leading him to be ruled out of the season. To be more precise, he damaged his stomach and groin muscles.
  
  
  It's been a strange season. A season which started with high hopes is ending with a 'Welcome back to reality' sign hanging over our heads. The possible reasons for the 2nd season in a row with no silverware. And yet, some of these are also the positives that have come to light. Read on.....:
  
  Most of the players are young and are going through the learning process. The first team that got us through to the Champions League final last year still had veterans like Pires, Bergkamp, Lauren, Ljungberg playing as well as Campbell playing in patches. With age comes experience and consistency, which the likes of Senderos, Flamini, Djourou, Clichy and Walcott will learn. To be a better player and a better team one has to go through both the hard and good times. That is football. Fact.
  
  Injuries. Yes, a few niggles here and there are fine. But, the same players getting injured again and again is not something very common. This only means that players were being rushed back. Gallas and Henry being the most prominent cases. We have a big enough squad so injuries cannot be an excuse. And yet, it is partly due to the injuries to key personnel at the crucial junctures in the season, that the season has turned out the way it has. With all our best players on the pitch, we have shown and will continue showing that we are equal if not better than the best in the league and maybe Europe.
  
  Luck. You make your own luck. Cut back to the Arsenal v Manchester United game at the Emirates. The goal Van Persie scored was lucky.It was a great finish and an almost poachers goal. He ran for the ball, he wanted the ball, he wanted to score. And yet, if Henry had not miskicked or misplaced his shot we may have not even won the game. You want luck, you make it. The same applies for bad luck. Yes, there are somethings in this world you cannot control, but if you want the luck then you have to work for it. Fact.
  
  Stability. A stable team is a winning team. A stable team is a happy team. If players keep coming and leaving...it is difficult to maintain that team spirit which is required to win titles. An example is Manchester United, with the only entry in the summer being Michael Carrick if I am not wrong. We lost Ashley Cole,Pires, Lauren, Bergkamp, Campbell, Reyes all at the same time. Bergkamp...the stabiliser, the man with the killer pass. Gallas, Baptista and Rosicky have had mixed seasons and we have never had the same starting line up for god knows how many games. Stability breeds success. Fact.
  
  There might be many more reasons for the downfall of the once great Invincibles. But, we have to believe in this squad. We have to believe in Wenger. Of course, he has to be blamed for his mistakes as well. But, we have to believe. Hope and belief. This will be a more stable team next season. The Best always learn from their mistakes. We seem to be committing the same mistakes again and again. But, hey...we will learn. Everyone makes mistakes. Let's get on with the season and finish it off on a high.

Last but not the least, I have decided to stop writing poems....... temporarily. To all my fans, I have realised lately that people get bored reading my poems. There is nothing wrong with the readers, but in fact with my poetry. It is too vague, similar topics, and needs something different. So I am taking a break and you can live again. I shall make a comeback with fresh ideas and better rhymes.

Analyse this

Analyse this:

-Why is a soap bubble round?

- Isn't blinking the same as winking, using both eyes at the same time?

- If parallel universes do exist, why worry? You must be definitely in a much better position in some other universe. Or maybe worse??

- Why are manholes always round?

- Why are girls so complex?
