All good things must come to an end:Last post


NEWS: What started off as a day to day event recollection slowly paved way to much bigger things. I am no wizard with words yet this blog holds a special place in my heart. Six years that's the time for which I blogged....pretty long no? especially for someone who has short attention span. I managed to hold on to words and phrases and sentences for 6 long years. Today, as I recoil back to my little world, I find one element missing, my IMAGE. Mirror was always part of my life, more like a reflection, more like an alter ego....someone who is just like me, but not ME. Over the years Mirror grew with me....from watching over a rebellious teenager, to complicated human being, to lovestruck20 something falling in love, mirror was successful in capturing my emotions and turmoil. Always I have had my guardian angel looking on to me during my toughest times, things that were unspeakable were spoken off, my point was made clear, guilt was erased off and drama was captured. Mirror has given me 6 years of memory to cherish, something I wouldn't want to erase. I will keep the blog intact but just that you wouldn't be seeing my reflection in the mirror. Looking back the blog has given me lot of memories to laugh about to cry on and I wouldn't wanna change a single thing.

WHY: Words have abandoned me, and so have the skill sets. They are no longer my companions but we share more of a forced relationship. I never faced this kind of emotional turmoil in my life, I never had to fight to let my voice heard I was always guarded by my angel, and words it came naturally to me. That's it the final straw, one word and that's it.....AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO ME!!!

FUTURE: It feels like killing my own kid, eating up the darkness, and I am not sure the direction I would wander too without a holding hand. I need to write, pour out my angst and keep myself from falling apart and I know only words can give me that kind of solace. I will try keeping up with the technology, putting up my dairy in e format but for now smell of paper back would do. Going back to my root where words flow like an untamed river, gushing in all its might, a place where there are no forced love affairs, a place where people would understand why I am in love with free flowing words, a place where my feelings would be honored. It would definitely be a long absence. Thank you for patiently hearing me out, for holding my hand, for reassuring me, for pointing out my mistakes, teaching me a thing or two. Thank you for everything.

The feeling

Image:Google
Can't even type without sounding ridiculously childish. Reminiscing those Mtech days when Analog and mixed signals paper would give me sleepless nights. The day before when none of the images would make sense all thanks to the unreadable scripts (sleep). Running around the varendhah knocking on every door, begging for the notes for a quick glance  which extends to 1-2 hours depending on the angry calls by friends. The feeling, sitting inside the hall, waiting for the que paper wishing for atleast 7 outof syllabus questions and the pain when you see your prayers are not answered. The high stress applied on the brain cells to make them remember at least a bit of what was mugged day before but, to no avail. Filling the sheet with absolutely no sensible images that would put even a 1st year Btech student to shame. The deep thinking mode, and the near to blank answer sheet that I carefully tie, while watching my mates fight for the last supplementary sheet during the last 5 minz. I remember the feeling right after the sub midterms, when I know that none of the questions that I have attempted is no where close to the right answers. The cold stares tintu mon (My prof) used to give me while handing the paper and announcing my single digit marks to the whole class.The impromptu trip to the staff room to explain how and why I fail in the same sub every single time in spite of scoring near to perfect marks in all others. The long distance warm calls, when my parents would assure me that things will go ok the next time around even when I knew next time around was not going to happen. This is the exact same feeling that I am going through....

Facebook Etiquette

Image:Google




We have all had our lessons on Email etiquette, office etiquette, table etiquette, blogging etiquette, and  the multi million etiquette we were taught that we hardly (In my case follow) bother about. Now it's time for Facebook etiquette....before I begin with my lecture series let me remind you all that these are not intended to hurt the feelings of anyone especially not of my 1090 facebook friends.


  • Friend Requests
Why on earth would I want to add someone who judge me by my profile pic?. I  usually filter my friend requests by number of common friends and by dropping by their profile to ensure I am not being friends with a psychopath or a murderer for that matter. This filter has its own flaws as I  recently found out cause, I only know half of the people in my friend list personally. Sometimes I am so put off by the profiles of some of my said school juniors that I refuse, or even simply delete them off my list. Then there are guys who don't give up and even resort to threaten mode via messages. So, people please add me only and only if you know me personally.

  • Group invitation
There is no invitation, you have just random guys in my friend list always adding me to random groups. Cool Guys group???Dude I am neither a Guy nor am I cool so stop bothering me by adding me to random groups just for increasing the head count of members. I always end up receiving texts at wrong time (Read meetings) informing me that so and so has posted some crappy stuff in Generation X group. I have to go all the way to the group site and click leave from group to stop receiving updates. Iv tried every button in the privacy tab so that I can control which group am added to but, nothing seems to work. If anyone of you actually know something regarding this please do let me know. I wouldn't have any problem in case  my REAL friend add  me into the alumni circle without my approval. Totally understandable.

  • Tagging

I know you would want to showcase your talent in front of the whole facebook community but tagging all your friend in your friend list is not the right thing to do. Tag only if absolute necessary or if you would want to refresh some old memories(School pics). I would never prefer tagging without prior permission.

  • Inboxing
I used to frequent some blogshops and after weeks I found my FB inbox bombarded with texts from unknown people asking me to check their blogshops. If I am interested I will for sure purchase from your shop, the reason why I am not placing any orders itself shows my lack of interests or my financial situation or even your own bad repute. So, please stop sending texts or filling my inbox.



Some of my friend would like to add to to the list they say

  • Promotions

Putting one's blogpost as status is total put off


Lemme clarify: As my own status you, as my friend is given a choice, choice to either click on the status there by getting to know my tastes better or not bothering at all. I am doing no harm to even a single soul. Most bloggers have their own blog pages but being into blogging purely for recording purpose and also due to lack of fan following I don't think I can afford to maintain yet another account with yet another password. So, my friends are always welcome to ignore my statuses and jump into other profiles.


New year, filled with new hopes and for me this is a special year. Will be back with more ramblings.
