My Heart is a Kid

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 15:43:00 +0000

Eyes entangled to her beauty do not move away

She moved ahead but I am here to stay

Time passing away in her afterglow white

Black clouds of heartache not moving away from sight

This heart is beating with her left over memories

Have a small wish in mind to live again

Now I am afraid of ever falling in love

Coz my heart is still a kid

Never knew this heart will give this punishment

My mind thinks of her before me

The more I stop it, the more I explain it

But it wants to be her toy again

Now I am afraid to see the moon, the flowers

Coz I feel her in every pleasant thing

I feel her near but she is not looking at me

And I am dying a slow death with the infection of her beauty

A ray of sadness has sat in my heart
That now I fear to laugh
I thought it would be little more practical like me
Who knew that my heart wouldn't listen to me

Why don't these moment pass

Now I am acclimating to watch her smile for someone else

It feels good as soon as she smiles and enjoys, though with someone else

Coz my heart is still a kid.

Once I Made You Smile

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 12:52:00 +0000

Are you really here?

Or is that I am dreaming?

But seeing you here now makes me happy

I wish if I was really awake and not sleeping again.

So long since I have seen you

I don't even remember your face anymore

But I have that feeling inside and know that it is only for you

Even when I know you are not for me

When I feel there is no one around

Its you whose thoughts come to my mind, and its you whom I want to make happy

But I have to satisfy myself, accepting that I am just a guy you once knew.

And I am just happy to see you smiling that someone else is doing it better.

And since then a part of me has died and is crying even more

That once we used to share a talk or two

But that was before. You used to listen to me

But not anymore.

And I can hear only silence over the distance

And I recall the way u smile to kill this silence

But I cannot earn it now anymore.

I just can remain happy that once I also made you smile.

Poem for the girl far away. 21 Feb, 2007

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 07:19:00 +0000

As you sleep I see the flimsy breeze
Coming from the sea, tickling the leaves
And carry the flowers to all around
Gently made the yellow ground
I see the butterflies hovering over your own nature
Their pattern describes of your colorful future
Surrounded by the sea of care of you, I feel like an isle
You make me cry, you make me smile
All away from the million miles

Bless Me With Your Smile

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 07:10:00 +0000

Looking at you sleeping

I'm with the girl I love

I'm here beside you watching the moonlight on your face

This night doesn't seem to end, the time pass so slow

Coz I know that in the morning

I might have to let you go

And you'll be just a girl

Once I used to know.

Under the shadow of the moon light

In front of your sleeping eyes

I just wanna make a wish tonight

May I be blessed with your first simile

Every morning as you get even more beautiful with time.

When you were here

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:37:00 +0000

Life was never that beautiful,
Neither it was ever that blissful.
I loved to see you always.
when you were here.

There was a strange but a pleasant feeling in the air.
Every time we met, a talk or two we did share.
Still I miss the time that has gone,
When you were here

When she lost her hope to live

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 11:50:00 +0000

A hard and fast life away from your loved ones, staying alone working on a hectic schedule and living in a cruel society. There she lives. With her sweet talks and unique style she made everyone her friend, but one heart break and everything was finished. Still collecting the pieces of her broken dreams which she had preserved one, each pieces she finds raises some will in her to live. She loves this pain, she believes this as her destiny, She drinks her tears to not to let any drop of the moments they shared fall down. A girl so beautiful and so bubbly who deserved so much care and love is living like this.

I care so I fear, I know my limits, and within that I want to show you the world again. You're still very young when seen through your inner eyes. And you're perfect when seen through my eyes

She came like an angel slowly down on the earth like the moon meets the horizon. Like the warm yellow sunshine she touched our lives, brightened us. Her hairs moves like some wavy note of music, they fall on her red cheeks as the clouds covers the evening sky. Her eyes like sparkling apple drink, appealing deep brown. She moves her body when she walks, like a fish moves its tail making its way in the ocean. Her every step you cant stop admiring. you can't stop admiring a beauty of a woman.

I ask nothing from you, and I want nothing from you. But your presence is so precious for the people around you and for me who cares so much about you.

Do I still belong here
Or am I already out?
Time takes the next flight
Tried to follow it
I Have just been born yesterday and for a short while I know how to walk
Lost my balance yet I can stand straight

In my head there is so much rage
Yesterday night I couldn't sleep
That you’ve been there was good for me
Please don’t ask questions now
Because I’d only regret
If I had … changed myself for you
For sure I would not have always been faithful
But I never cheated on you

That’s me, that’s me
This alone is my fault
I am now, I am here, I am me, this alone is my fault
I don’t have to find myself now
Just must not lose myself
We are now, we are here, we are us, that alone is our fault

From: http://lyricstranslate.com

Life has tested me in such circumstances and I know how I came out of it. It is not that easy as we think, everyone in his her life have such problems, we are not the only one with bad luck in this world. Life is hard on everyone sometime and good at sometimes.

You helped when I needed you, now I know you are in need and that is not a return favour. I will help you in transition till you are back in this world. Then I will move back like a ocean wave pushes a dry leave back on the shore to sprout again, so that you stay well settled, and thank god for this precious life he gave it to you. In my company I don't know whether you will be able to love someone but surely you will fall in love with yourself.

I cannot define love, but I understand it.

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Sun, 30 May 2010 14:11:00 +0000

Days seems to get longer, sleep seems to become shorter, you tend to become restless when you are waiting for someone, or for someone's reply. When you are awake you waste your energy thinking about them, and when you are sleeping you often see them in your dreams. The restlessness in your mind starts playing games with you.
How many times has it been happened to you that you are watching a movie side by side you are trying to relate your story with the character of the movie? When you are missing your loved ones, you often end up ordering that flavour of the ice cream/milkshake which they like. You message them and wait for their reply.

Love is not an object it can't be defined. If the person is right you enjoy the happiness and the sorrows attached with the word "Love", but if the person is wrong you regret. The interesting question is how do you feel when you love them, but don't like them? No, I haven't gone mad. Have you ever come into a situation where you don't like him/her because the way he/she talks to you, his/her attitude, his/her dressing sense, but somewhere you feel he/she is close to you. Even though you are different, but something brings you close. You tend to ignore some conflicts thus increasing the life of your relationship :)

Yet another blog post and flute case

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Wed, 26 May 2010 16:54:00 +0000

After very long time I took the pen...I mean the keyboard to write a new entry on this blog. All these days inspite of having access to internet 24X7 I never visited this blog even myself, I was so lost in myself.. I mean in the life, there were ups and downs, but mostly I had to face cliffs.. The start of the semester was bad so the rest of the semester also went bad not only academically but also in many other ways. Even if the things go right on the way you don't feel good until your goals are met.. The thought that you are not able to complete your priorities is always pinching you somewhere, and you don't know the reason most of the times and you say the day was bad. Something same is going on with me.

In between I am sharing some of the pictures of a flute case I made for a friend of mine... long story..

Earlier I made a wooden case, carved on its two long sides and polished. It took me about two weeks to complete that but my roommate who recently had a breakup broke it..lol that's another story.. her birthday was coming close and I had to do something fast..so I brought thermocol, cardboards and blue velvet cloth. And finally it became like this as in the picture. It was stronger than the wooden case but unfortunately was heavier as well. All this was in October-November, 2008.. Lol I was hiding it from you all haha

A Martisor/Rakhi from my sister

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 08:31:00 +0000

Here is the Martisor which my sister sent me all away from Romania. I am so happy to have it. And this is very new thing for me. It is supposed to be given on March 1. But I received it on India's festival of Raksha Bandhan, where sisters ties a kind of thread on her brother's wrist to protect him, as she wrote in the letter she is merging Indian and Romanian tradition.Te Iubesque, Sora mea
A martisor is the traditional celebration of the beginning of the spring (and until 1701 of the New Year Source: Martisorul, straveche sarbatoare carpatina a Anului Nou in Eco Life Portal (Romanian). Retrieved March 1st, 2008) in Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria and Macedonia, on 1 March. The day's name is the diminutive of March (in Romanian Martie), and thus means something like "little" or "dear March". Nowadays, men offer women a talisman object also called Mărţişor, consisting of a jewel or a small decoration like a flower, an animal or a heart, tied to a red and white strings (Source: Martisor music ensemble. "Martisor". Retrieved 2008-03-03.) However, giving a little nickel tied to a red and white string is an old custom and was originally designated for both men and women. It was believed that the one who wears the red and white string will be powerful and healthy for the year to come. The decoration is a symbol of the coming spring. A woman wears it pinned to her blouse on this day and up to two weeks after.

Pakistan's space mission

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:45:00 +0000

In what could be construed as a response to India's efforts to expand its space exploration horizon, Pakistan has announced its plans for space research. Pakistan wants to become the first country to put a terrorist in orbit. This was revealed by Raza Hussain, Chairman of Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) at a press conference organized in Karachi.

Raza said that off late SUPARCO was focusing on path breaking new initiatives to inject fresh life into the nation's sagging space programme. Pakistan's only presence in space so far is a satellite PAKSAT-1, situated at 38 degree E Long in a geo stationary orbit. This satellite has been leased from Hughes Global and the lease period will expire in 2011.

"Our aim is to become the first country to put a terrorist in orbit by 2040. We are working closely with China, which has copied technology from Russia and USA for this goal," he said. When asked as to why Pakistan wanted to send a terrorist to space, he said "we have so far exported terrorists to India, USA, UK, Afghanistan, China and the list is endless. Today we have a terrorist in almost all major nations. Now is the time to look beyond earth".

About the pic: The Pakistani space agency has made its first successful test flight right here on planet earth. In an experiment conducted on Saturday afternoon, Pakistan was able to lift a an animal nearly 10 feet in the air. Raza called the experiment success and has congratulated all SUPARCO scientists associated with the project.

Pakistan's space dreams will be fuelled by modified missiles imported from China and North Korea. "We plan to integrate the Chinese and Korean rockets and use solid propellant (provided by China from the fireworks leftover after the Beijing Olympics)," Raza claimed. It has also identified a bunch of future astronauts (suicide bombers) from its terrorist infested NWFP province for the project. "The recruits are more than willing to be part of this project as that's exactly what they are supposed to do; die here or there," a SUPARCO insider told this blogger.

"The initial plan is to have a terrorist orbit the earth in a low earth orbit and the subsequent missions may see a terrorist land on the moon. The branding team in ISI is right now working on naming an organization to which these terrorists will be affiliated to. I guess the name they have frozen on is the Moonian Mujaheedeen. If everything goes well, these guys may even blow themselves up on the moon," Raza informed.

The terrorists will also release threatening videos before touching down. "Some of these guys are also learning how to issue threats in sign language as the audio quality may not be up to the mark," the SUPARCO insider claimed.

Princess of Tulunadu

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:30:00 +0000

She gets up from her bed early

Rubs her eyes, walks little whirly

Welcomes the sun, opens her arm and she yawns

That’s how another beautiful day of us dawns

Aesthetic look, profound brown eyes, and vibhooti on her upper forehead

Black hair streaks coming on her white face around her cheeks so red

Her Golden ear rings sways and dazzles as she turns her hair behind her ears

Green shawl around her shoulders and an exquisite everlasting pink smile she bears

Came from the Arabian Sea, splendid, pulchritudinous heaven land

Spent her childhood playing in that beach sand

Refined throughout the life by those sacrosanct ocean waves

Touching the sky in almost everything is what she craves

Can’t resist admiring every single step she takes

Aromatizes the breeze around with a sweet fragrance as every move she makes

Becomes the centre of attraction wherever she goes

A close to perfect girl from her allured face to her revered toes

Still so cute, so humble and so huggable

Beautiful mind, attitude so kind, and she is love’s cradle

Love, respect, smile is what all she deserves

So the princess of Udupi will keep the closeness preserved

Happy Birthday Sneha!

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:30:00 +0000

Just like everyday I wish you, today is the special reason why I am here :)

“Hope your Birthday gently breezes into your life all the choicest of things and all that your heart holds dear Have A Fun- Filled Day.”

May you and the people around you be the happiest in the world.

Happy Birthday Sneha!! :) You are simply the best :)

Wish you were here

In my dreams I'm dying all the time
As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye
This is goodbye

In my dreams I'm jealous all the time
As I wake I'm going out of my mind
Going out of my mind

The Last Good Bye

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:25:00 +0000

A last look
Probably the last touch
A last good bye
A last glance, and a last smile
It has ended so soon, couldn't even tell what I feel for her
Yes I loved you secretly but it was impossible to tell you
Oh honey, you are so pretty
I wish I could make you mine
Why didn't I meet you before?
I still remember that very first day we looked at each other.
Feels like it all happened few days ago.
Time travelled so fast.
Today you are leaving forever
I wish I could say the last word
I love you dear. But today I have to say good bye
I don't know why they say "good bye"
Where is the "good" in good bye?

Life today forever changed,
Changed into loneliness,
Loneliness and fear,
Fear with none of you,
You who were everything to me,
I miss you,
I miss you every moment of the day,
Day in and day out,
Out of tears i sit awake and carefully listen,
Listen for you…in case,
just in case,
…How i miss you.

-Nadia Tarzi

13th May, 2007 Do you remember?

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 10:15:00 +0000

I sit in my dark room accompanied by a stray moonlight ray,
Trying to enjoy the silent darkness after a long rough day.
I can feel the pain in my heart so profound,
And feel the sadness that you're not around.
Oh my honey, I wish I could explain how the life is without you.
A stray empty shell lying on the beach that goes all the way through
Like the bird whose destiny is not defined,
But I care for you and my feelings are pure and refined.
When you are not around, my soul hurts with an ache
Nothing makes me happy, I can not even fake.
Remember the night, we saw the lunar eclipse together
So nice it was, and gentle like a feather
I miss you so much dear, that I can't measure
Your love is something to me which I will always treasure
You are my dearest friend and all that keeps my life going
The more I am away from you,
the more I feel the pain growing.

I think I do

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 09:28:00 +0000

Since you've gone

I've beenlost without a trace.

I dream at night, I canonly see your face.

I look around but it's you I can't replace.

I feel so cold and I long for your embrace.

I love you baby..

And I still remember the day when I first saw you

You looked at me, you were so pretty that I fell for you.

Today we are friends, but not so close :(

I love you and this you don't know

I wont tell you, you may not like

You are so nice, I wish I could tell you

But our ways are different, I know

May be I will learn to live without you

I am happy that we are good friends

And that you find me special

I wish we could get a little more closer.

I wish you could see

How perfect you are, when seen through my eyes.

Life in South India

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:11:00 +0000

Since India liberalized its policies many people and business are rushing towards it. The pace of industrialization and development in Delhi and Mumbai (Bombay) turned massive. But later in the 20th Century IT sector brought a revolution in the country.

Major IT parks are spreaded all over India but the concentration is more in South India. Now here I am gonna give you some tips for a better life in South India, if you are planning to come here.

South India is different than North India in almost every manner, only thing which unites the people is Indian Government and a same belief which is there in everyone's soul since the period of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna.

First tip : About Language

Though every Indian can understand and speak English, but it would be very good if you can talk in his/her language. Then surely you're gonna get a special attention. Learning South Indian languages is tough, though I have succeeded a lot. Each region has one or more languages which are very much different than each other. But still there is some link which you can use, or say there is a hack to speak in there language without letting them know that you actually don't know their language at all. look at the following conversation. And this hack works for all South Indian Languages

A tourist is asking a taxi driver whether he is ready to take him to the Railway Station.

Tourist: Taxi!! Excuse me!! Will you go to Railway Station?

Taxi : Sorry Sir, the Taxi is already booked.

Now we will use the hack for the same conversation

Tourist: Taxi! Railway StationaaaAAAaaa???

Taxi: Yeah sure sir.

It's true if you wont talk to taxi driver in there language they will assume you are a tourist and they will charge a lot. So are you getting any idea about this hack? OK one more example.

Here a guy is asking his girlfriend for a movie.

Boy: Will you come for a movie?

Girl: yes, yes, yay!!!

Now use the hack

Boy: MovieaaAAAaa??

Girl: yes, yes, yay!!!

Now a quick guide to pronunciation. This is how English alphabets are pronounced. this is common for all South Indian language.

yE B C D yEe yeF G hecH I J K yeL yeM yeN yO P Q yaaR yeS T yU V W yeX Y Z

Since it is common for all South Indian language that is why it is easy to use anywhere. The problem comes in North India. North India has more variety in language but thankfully most of the regions have accepted the national language, Hindi. Those people who don't speak much in English speak in their accent and which becomes tough to grasp. One common mistake which one such person make in North India is adding in before the letter 's' if it comes before any consonant. For example iStudent, iStar, iStand, iStupid. though this error is well recognised by Oxford and Chamber's Dictionary and is not incorrect in Indian English as these Dictionaries mentions, anyways it sounds strange iStupid..lol

Second Tip: Be Intellectual

Being Intellectual person will help you a lot. South Indians are very intellectual and loves to talk to another intellectual person. If you are intellectual then no doubt you will make friends very easily and quickly. In every home the oldest one or the head of the family will be the most intellectual I don't know whether it is a coincidence or experience..lol. I will go for the latter one.

Third Tip: Respect culture

India in a few years have advanced a lot. for last few years its growth rate is the highest in the world. 6th Nuclear power of the world, 3rd nation to be present on the moon, largest producer of graduates in the world. etc. and so more which made India shine and different from the rest of the dark South Asia which has terrorism, human right violation, and genocides..etc.

India has developed Substantially, even after such advancement people haven't forgotten their cultural values and tradition. there are some tradition which even I don't understand, but if you will also try to follow them they will feel nice.

For example, never give and take things from your left hand. Though they wont say anything but it is not considered good there. Eat with your right hand whether you are using a spoon or not. Remove your footwears before entering someone home and yeah wash your feets after that...lol don't worry they provide all facilities.

Fourth Tip: Respect their superstars

This is one of the most important tip once you make friends there. You will have to respect their superstars, (film stars, sports stars, politicians, etc.) generally people love their superstars not because of their talent but because they are from the same region. People are just crazy and don anything. So no matter how ugly, corrupted, and bad they are in their field, if you wont respect them you are likely to get a bad treatment because people are just crazy.

And many things you will learn once you are there, either you will fall in love or you will feel like getting rid of the place, all depends.

Happy Journey

19th Commonwealth Games, Delhi 2010: Are you coming?

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:15:00 +0000

It is the second time that this event will be happening in Asia. It is a good news for almost every Asian that Commonwealth Games Federation has choosed Delhi as the host city of 19th Commonwealth Games in 2010. So start planning your tour now as 2010 is not so far. Unlike Olympics Commonwealth is not that big event comparatively. But the total budget estimated for this even is US$1.6 Billion which makes Delhi's Commonwealth Games most advanced and expensive. Manchester's 2002 event was of approx US$420million and Melbourne's 2006 event was of US$1.1 billion.

Are you a Talibani?

noreply@blogger.com (Sanskar Shrivastava) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:34:00 +0000

You are a Talibani if:

You have more wives than your teeths.
Your friends comes to you and ask you to hit a home run without letting the bomb explode in the air. Otherwise you will be shot dead that's the game rule.
You shoot gunshots in the air to express joy.
You throw grenades around when you're bored.
Your neighbour often comes to you to complain about your bombs crossing their boundary.
In a party or a big function you are having a BLAST!!!
During morning walk you often bomb one or two NATO tanks.
You fill up uneven roads by throwing a couple of people into it and then throwing stones and sand on them to make the surface flat. This increases the soil's fertility as they say.
You use 32 caliber or any other bullets as your signature. This is likely to be copied so you use different-different sizes and make different designs on the paper.
You become friends with Pakistan when your toys I mean your study material, I mean your bombs and guns finishes.
You love to launch rockets if you aim it towards Antarctica and it falls in Arctic you are happy, your purpose to show the world about your presence is solved anyway.

This was just for fun. But the situation in South Asia is not at all funny. Few things mentioned above are really true, though were presented as funny.

Fighting with Taliban is not easy as Taliban is not a group of some people or army. It is a concept. Today if you will kill 100 Talibanese tomorrow 1000 more Talibanese will come up. To remove it from the roots, people in Afghanistan and Pakistan should be given proper education till they understand that in this modern world religion is not just everything. There are other issues as well upon which we all have to work together and then only we can make this world a better place for our future generation.

What is RSS?

Recently I have started offering RSS feeds on my blog to all you readers. But What is RSS? This question would be arising in many of you readers. there are number of ways and services to keep you up to date with Abstract Thoughts. And RSS is the one of the best way to keep connected.

What is RSS?

RSS is a technology which people use to keep them up to date with their favourite website or blog. In older days people used to bookmark their favourite websites but there are many limitations in that.

It is hard to track number of sites
After a week or two you find out that your bookmark has lost or has got mixed in a lists of other bookmarks
You had to go again and again to the websites manually to check for new contents
You might miss some important posts if not checked regularly
Sometimes you don't see any updates at all.

RSS has a solution for all this problem. RSS can deliver you the posts as soon as they are updated right on your desktop or on any other web applications like Google Reader or Blog Lines and many more. You can also share an RSS with your friends on Social Networking sites like Facebook, Yahoo Profile, Orkut personalised pages like iGoogle, and My Yahoo. Bookmarking Websites like Stumble upon, Digg, Newsvine and many more. Not only this If you subscribe to an RSS via Email You will get all the updates mailed to you as soon as something new arrives.

What do you need for reading a RSS?

As I have mentioned above all you need is a reader like Google reader or Bloglines there are many option available on Internet. You can also display the RSS feeds on your Desktop using Google reader gadget of google Desktop. Well if yo dont want to do this, you can always share an RSS with others using Facebook and your other favourite websites. I have also included a button to do this. And yeah if it is something new for you and you don't understand RSS Readers and Sharing then you can simply subscribe via Email. which are like Email newsletters but yes no Spam in that and you can always unsubscribe!!!

How to Subscribe?

This is a good question. Now days some standard buttons are used for RSS subscription links including the one I have used above. for e.g

Even on some web browsers like Firefox you will see a button like the button used on the top of the post. Clicking on that also will subscribe you to that page without even searching for the button on a website.

If you are still unsure you can give it a try once on my blog or any other website whch you like. I am sure you are gonna love it. On my website you can subscribe here or you may like to subscribe via email. You may also follow me on my blog if you are also a blogger that way even I can see what you post and what you like so that I can visit your web page too.
