A Sad Heart!

Am not omnipresent,
But wanted by everyone,
Only when In trouble? Hurt? Low?
"She's there!" is what they say!

Is this why i was born,
To listen to others stories?

But as the day goes on,
if one person,
at least one person,
smiled because of me,
some deep satisfaction,
unexplainable-happiness clouds upon me!

Is this why i was born,
To make others happy?

I know,
Good-for-nothing is my synonym,
But if i was sent on this purpose by Him,
Then let me ask Him only,
Give me more tolerance,
for stories aren't short
Give me more thought,
for suggestions need to be given
Finally give me all the patience/understanding u have,
for not relating it with me and my life!


Few things can alwez be heard from one ear and let out at the other. But  at some minute information jus manages to find its way to the brain. Why is that you remember it only when  you are dull or wen you are upset? Why does comparison even crop up in such innocent minds? Is that you are not satisfied with the present version of life runnin in you? When we lend our ears to many, why is there not one to listen to us? Everyone cant tell stories, but when one is making an effort to express why is no one helping them out to bring the sadness out? Why do u feel everyone around is happy and not you? If someone is tellin "I am happy", then how happy r they really? If someone says "Life's super!", then on which cloud are they?

4 HIM

Wish you were here,
Holding my hands....

Wish you were here,
Giving me a peck.....

Wish you were here,
Making me smile....

Wish you were here,
Hugging me tight....

Wish you were here,
for never would i fear
For then, everything would seem
A picture perfect dream

Bound to you by
Heart-Soul-Mind
Thoughts are back
12 months rewind

I still loathe two thousand nine
Though i met a person who became mine.

Finally,
Wish you were here,
Doing things which we did together in Dec last year.

Post Application Process!

All you need to do is WAIT! You can carry on with your daily activities.... till the month of  March arrives( if you have applied for fall!) Nothing to worry much! A few tips from my side are:
  1. Please don't forget to track the documents you have sent.
  2. Once you have tracked, save the packet number, i.e. the unique number given to your packet/package/envelope.
  3. Note down the email id's of the respective persons in the Graduate Council of the respective university. Mail them any query you have. Am pretty sure they will respond!
  4. Please keep checking your spam mails too as there are all possibilities of an important mail being there, which might go unnoticed.
  5. If u have got acceptance from more than one university, then make a wise choice. Consult many friends, communities on networking sites and pay the fee once you have made the final choice.
It so happened that in mid March, two universities that i had applied to stated "Transcripts not reached".
The point was, all the documents sent by me were in one envelope and had reached as a single entity, i don't know how only the transcripts could go missing. I couldn't do anything other than providing the tracking ID as proof. Yet, there was no proof for the existence of the transcripts in the envelope that i had sent.
    All the best! 

    P.S: I got into Suny,Binghamton. Hope the Visa process too goes unhindered! U can expect a post on that soon enough too!

    DATE Drama ...!!

    Two questions for u:
    1.  3/5/2010 = 3rd May 2010 or 5th Mar 2010 ........???
    2. 10th Jul 2010 = 10/7/2010 OR 7/10/2010 ..........???

    I don't understand why the mm/dd/yyyy format for date came up?? We were happy with dd/mm/yyyy right??
    This issue didn't bother me until i started programming. In India, the usual dd/mm/yyyy is followed but these days everything is internationalized and every company will have at least one foreign client! So, this needs to be taken care while programming.

    The next observation i made was little weird though. In the javascript (js) you were supposed to follow mm/dd style and in the Java Server pages(jsp) you are to follow the dd/mm way. And the issue i was looking into dealt with one js and one jsp page which were linked.

    Upon this to make it look neat and formatted a "0" had to be appended. i.e. 7/4/2010 had to be written as 07/04/2010 :)

    Lord.. you had to see the amount of confusion that had stacked up in my brain. I bet, it was clearly visible on my face too! Buut, It was fun!

    P.S: Google is God!
