I feel French
Hello friends
The title says it all though it really doesnt need to be there because I have been feeling french for the past 2 months now.
This morning I got up at 429, even before the alarm went off ( I normally get up at 430). But then I went back to sleep and got up 540. My bus comes at 545
What did I dream about during that 1 hour and 10 minutes you may not ask, but I'm still gonna tell you. I was dreaming that I was back in france, I was reliving everything by the seconds... and then I had to effing get up coz I was ultra late.
I dreamt about all the crazy stuff we did.. everything
Aww man... I cant stop thinking about it. I spoke to Nancy about an hour ago and I called up Lola but as usual she did not pick up her phone.
I have also acquired the VCDs of Madam Squirrel which makes me even more wanna-go-back-to-france.
Did I tell you that 2 months ago ( 22nd May), was the day we left Angouleme and went to Paris. I wasnt all that affected by that separation but now I cant stop thinking about everything.

Its Probably Me
Hello my friends we meet again..
Over the past few weeks ive started having fights with people and stuff like that, and in every case I dont hold myself responsible. But since the frequency of the quarrels has increased and so has the number of people, I have realised that I am the one with a problem here.
Hoping to find a solution to this problem once I find the problem

The surd with the French Connection
Hello People
Continuing previous tradition, here I am again with another post dedicated to France.
You see, it was exactly 2 months ago this very time that I was sitting at the airport with the rest of the YPO.
And then 9 hours later, we landed at Charles de Gaulle airport.
I still can't seem to get over it, especially coz Lola finally replied to my mail and I called Nancy a week ago.
I tell you Nancy is the funnest french female you'll ever meet.
I am still neck deep into France
Will post again when I try to get over it.
Oh by the way, Class 11 has started for me. What fun?!

All that Blaming
Hello people
I read the newspaper yesterday, like I do everyday.
On the first page of the City supplement of a very useless newspaper was some very disturbing news. Oh by the way, before I move on, this very useless newspaper is Hindustan Times. Now this very useless was talking some bullcrap, like it always does. This time it was about us kids.
It was saying something we kids asking for too much things, and all that stuff. Now I particularly dont disagree with that, but I particularly disagree with the newspaper because I just dont like HT.
Now, the thing is, I agree that we, as kids, ask for too many things that we dont deserve. Parents, have all the rights to not provide them. Yes I know we should learn to earn things.
But, let us analyse the reason why parents meet to the demands. You see, in today's world, in most families both the parents are working. That leaves them with very little time to catch up with the kids. So to catch up with them, parents are spending large amounts of their hard-earned money to meet their demands and keep their kids happy in one way or the other. But the thing is, No amount of money can make up for the quality time a little kid would spend with his dad/ mom. No amount of money can make up for the family vacations they have together. Why? Because cant buy no love.
And I, I am pretty content with the fact that money cant buy no love. At least something defeats that dratted thing. I like money, no doubt about it but what I like more is the time I spend with my family. As some of you might know, I dont go to movies with my friends or parties. I'd rather spend that time to go some place with my family. Specially cause my dad is out for most of the week working hard(see?) but we still spend time together.
I like expensive gifts too, but I'd rather like a gift coming from the heart. I dont care if someone doesnt buy me a very expensive toy(boys' toys!!!!). I would like it more if the person knows what I like most, and buy me something like that. For example, Simon's family pretty much got to know by the end of the first day that I liked cars. At the end of my trip, they got me this little vintage car which has a nice little clock under the hood. I loved it. I dont know how much it cost and seriously, I dont care.(A hint of france everywhere)
I just carried away there.
Coming to the second thing. You cant blame the kids all that much because kids are going through an age where they are most impressionable. Whatever they see they believe. So if they see something that they like, they are obviously gonna want it... Who doesnt?... Thats not just the kids, by the way. The catch here is that the companies these days are making things just from the kids point of view. You tell me, how many big executive dudes would wanna buy Nokia N-gage Gaming phones?. So here comes in the question of Corporate Responsibility and I sincerely feel that the companies are failing miserably at that. In India at least.
Almost every month, Nokia brings out 2-3 new phones with features just a bit different from each other and people are buying them. Kids want them too.
A survey showed that 54% of mid size cars bought are based on decisions by kids of the family. So that shows why people are buying useless cars. Those silly kids influencing these decisions dont know a kidney about cars but they just want the most expensive car in the segment and then those silly kids boast.
So the thing is, I want Companies to take Responsibility and I dont want useless newspapers Blaming us for no good reason

Amelie
Hello people
I just finished watching Amelie. AH, what a film, truly great. Well, actually* i really havent ever seen the whole movie. Such is the misfortune that I never get to see the complete movie. The last time I was watching it, the electricity went. Today, I started from somewhere in the middle but saw it till the end.
First of all, I love the story. I havent really been able to gather the whole story for reasons mentioned above but whatever I have managed to gather is a great story. The way she keeps going out of the way to help other people. Bringing joy into other people's lives, Truly Amazing. Sort of like a guardian angel.
I also learnt that sometimes your whole life can fit into a small little rusty box, like that of Bretodeau.
Then there is the music by Monsieur Yann TIERSEN**. I just love the music playing the background. The official french accordion. Try Downloading La Valse D'Amelie.
I just love the movie. For reasons I dont know why.
Spread Love my friends!
Say no to war, Say no to BUSH!!!!
*Actually.. this bears no reference to Adarsh
** Thats how they write names in france with the surname in capitals.
