The World of my Own

I kinda take pride in myself in being a good listener. A certain incident today, made me think otherwise. Do i acutally listen to what people have to say to me? Do i give a thought to all the advice i get from my friends or elders or anyone for that matter? I will like my friends who read this to give me instances in which i have not been a good listener or have refuted an advice without even thinking for a second. I think i might not be listening without realising what i am doing. Please post comments, i will really appreciate it.

Since everyone and everything around the world are talking about Valentine's Day aka Lovers' day, i thought why not write something about this very frequently and many times very loosely used word. A GTalk with my good friend Rahul today, led me to these thoughts about love which is written by Rahul's friend on his blog . He wrote: I feel there are two different aspects.To love someone.And to be loved.It is said "to be loved" is a natural need.And for me , its a need and not love.As long as you want this person or need this person , you dont love her , you love yourself and want "to be loved".Love is not meant to be a selfish thing.Love is much harder and selfless than that.To love is not to wish for someone to be with oneself , but to give up oneself for that someone.Love is not in sharing coconut water on some beach, but in staying thirsty if it helps her.Love is not in her coming to you , but to care for her when you know she would not come to you.

Yah I went to Disneyland (California) last week. I was in San Diego visiting my friends for the new year. When we were dicussing where we wanted to go on Saturday the 30th of December, Disneyland came up. At first i thought what the hell i am too old to be dancing around with mickey mouse ( actually i am just 24). but since no one wanted to go to sea world or palm springs, we decided to go to Disneyworld - California Adventure. Once we reached there, i saw that there were actually a lot of young people like us. I thought there are many crazy people like us. but once we started going on different rides, it felt so good. I felt i was a child again and it was not long before i found myself running around trying to go on all the thrill rides possible. I wanted to eat cotton candies, icecream from the carts( though it was very cold) , do everything i used to love to do as a kid. I felt i was 10 or 12 years old. There was so much happiness in the air - Families and Kids running around, child...

After 2 1/2 years, 5 amazingly unique and different semesters, 11 courses, innumerable projects, one internship, Mr.V(me) is all set to graduate on the 14th of Dec 2006(if things goes as planned) with Masters' Degree in Mechanical Engg I dreamt of this day for 23 long years. Now that it is here, i dont feel the excitememt and elation that should feel. It has been a fun time at ASU. Learnt so much ( in and outside the class) , made new friends from all over the world,made myself an amazing cook and hopefully become a better person than i was 2 1/2 years ago Now comes the "real world" . first thing i want do is to get a job and make some time to go back to india and meet my loved ones. The day i left india(22nd July 2004) seems so long ago now. i dont know what the future holds for me. but i think i am ready for anything that life can throw at me. thanks to my time here at ASU and tempe.

It has been ages since my last post. Been busy with my internship. I moved last week and my new address is 1500 E Broadway Rd, Apt#2072 Tempe AZ 85282. I haven't taken any photos of my new apartment. I will upload new ones soon. Around 3 weeks ago, I bought myself a new motorcycle, Yipee! - a sporty 2006 Kawasaki Ninja 500R(see picture) by the way, that picture is from the net. I will upload pictures of my bike pretty soon. The tech specs of this bike are here

Last week was my first week at Flood Control Dsitrict of Maricopa County, I was a fun week with a lot of learning in a very short time. I have amazing collegues which helps a lot. Have not exactly started working on my actual project, i expect myself to start this week. Even with this internship in place, I am not able to enjoy my life here. There is some unknown fear that keep me back from enjoying my life here. I had a small argument with my roommates on Friday and they were not happy with something i had done. But, now one ever told me abt it and one day all of them start attacking me. It made me really mad but i sucked up my anger so as not to cause a lot of damage I wonder why people never tell me if they have problems with me. I rarely get angry. but if no one tells me it makes me really mad. so friends, tell me if i am going wrong, i am ever ready to listen.
