WAR. RELIGION. SEX. POWER.
A man’s baser passions? Or only passions?
Does their entire life not revolve around one of these things? Do they not give up one of them ONLY for one of these others?
WAR. RELIGION. SEX. POWER.
Seemingly simple, then why so complicated?
What about women?
EMOTIONS. LOVE. MOTHERHOOD. (Really? )
AFFILIATION. ACCEPTANCE. FAMILY. (No?)
DOMINANCE or SUBJUGATION??
DESIRE or SACRIFICE??
STRENGTH or WEAKNESS?
THE POWER TO DESTROY or THE POWER TO CREATE and NURTURE?
SOMEONE TO YEARN FOR or SOMEONE TO BEWARE OF?
Women.. complicated, and living up to it =)
Which is, then , the more complex sex?

The Frog Prince :p
To keep the 'spirit' alive :)
This is an email sent by Manavi :) Why I've posted this here is to remind us that we must always keep alive in us this 'inner child', or rather 'the inner retarded child' I Love you guys! Shoes, Bhoos, Big B, Manavi (Since I already disclosed ur name:p)
Thanks to all of us for making such amazing memories! Mwah! NOW, the email:
i know you guys are thinking what a stupid title, but it'll make sense soon, i promise!
first things first..
I miss you guys sooo much! theres nothing like us here, or anywhere else! everyones sorta retarded in a way i dont like =( something really stupid happened yesterday.. I was in college all night working on an assignment, and sometime around 2 o clock i decided to just randomly go down to the lawn!.. SO I started running down(exaggeration, i think i was walking at ayus pace :P) , and i was on the phone talking to simran and then i saw a frog INSIDE my college near the reception (for no reason, even though im aware that the max a frog can do is stick its tongue out,im scared of frogs! they're oddly green and they keep hopping around.. i know they're tiny and all, but they are a little scary okay!) anyhow so i looked at the frog and I got a little hassled/ curious.. so then while i was running (you know what that means by now) and on the phone looking/marvelling at the frog from a distance and talking about how theres a frog INSIDE my college (they say mba teaches you multitasking, and for the two doing MS, this should serve as a fine example) oho, yeah so running on the phone, frog? are we through till this point?
okay, SO, yeah then i crossed the frog.. like ~ | -
where ~ is me
| is the ramp's edge (i was on the ramp the frog was on the stairs)
~ is the frog...
wait, to make it clearer i will just make somethings bold.. wait.. so i added colours too..wait i have to make some changes.. so when i reached this point! the frog did like a little bit of a jump thing.. and then i did an impromptu split, just to impress him with my moves too.. and i got hurt! ( didnt intentionally do a split, i FELL and my legs went like that..) and i got hurt and now my foot is swollen and a had to get my yearly tetanus shot (prekshi, how long is a tetanus valid? VALID hahahaha.. i mean till when does itt last?)
AND THEN, i started giggling for no reason, and some seniors were getting me frist aid, and i was giggling throughout, for no reason! and i missed you guys like MADDDDD! I realised all of this happened coz i had a bunch of really randomly oriented friends in college, and now i have lost my mind and i giggle =(
yeah so thats my story, and frogs can never turn into princes, i dont know why anyone would use ugly fucking FROGS in a FAIRY TALE!
(btw, i like my colour scheme a lot, please feel free to praise it..)
@each one : you're tagged now.. this is our internal newsletter.. =)
over and out.
ramprasad chowrasia =) shit thats not even funny now.. i miss ='(
love you guys <3

ITS MY LIFE?
Suicides.. It has many threads..
Is it escape or desperation?
Courage or Cowardice?
Crime or not?
It’s a god given life?
Personal right?
Why or why not?
Farmers..
Exams..
Love..
Betrayal..
Excellence vs. Natural Aptitude.
Methods.
Quick?
Slow?
Painless?
Painful?
Planned?
Spur of the moment?
Suicide as release?
Suicide as revenge?
Suicide for a greater purpose?
Suicide Bombings?
Suicide to make a statement.
Suicide for self pity.
There is one question which needs to be answered. Is it ‘Just my life’? Is it only our actions that govern our lives and do our lives govern only our actions? Is it, then, a personal right to decide if you want to end it?
There can only be a few things which can cause more pain to a mother than to know that she could not sustain in her child, a will to live. To know that she HAD a child, and had it not been for a few careless words, a decision made on his behalf, she would still HAVE that child. All the dreams, all the love, all the nurturing and conditioning, all the giving without expecting.. That person around whom your entire life centred around. That person you gave up everything for.. All of that could not keep in him a want to live. That the world was so painful for your child, that he chose to cease existing.
We love numbers. We quantify everything. I am the second child of my class 1 officer parent, studying in the 7th best institute with a 230 rank and earning a package of 7 lacs. Why do we define everything by numbers? Why do we need a number backing us up? The arguments could be many. Its practical, its simple, its easier.
It may be, but all i know is that when you touch the skin of a person that once had warmth, when u feel the stiffness, the strange inhuman quality of what had once been a loving touch, you know that no amount of simplicity or practicality can ever replace it. You know what LIFE really is. You understand, it’s not simply a switch u can turn off. It has implications. It ruins others. The love goes. The faith goes. You don’t feel anger or remorse. It’s a feeling that cannot be classified. And it disturbs you, haunts you. It fills your head with questions.
What did he feel? Why did he do it? Did he think it won’t happen? Did he want to turn back but couldn’t? Was it peaceful? Did he struggle? Was he possessed?
And no matter how much time has passed, the questions stay.
Suicide is a crime. Whether you like it, or not.
It may bring you release, but it imprisons several others. Whether you want it to, or not.
Suicide causes murder. Whether you’re a killer, or not.
