Hit and miss

Hi,

So you're back.

Where had you been, you dhakkan? I missed you. A little bit.

Hope your trip was good. Thanks a lot for not being in touch while you were away. No, I am not being sarcastic. Sometimes I really need phases when I pretend that you don't exist. Perhaps this is what they call a love-hate relationship. Hit and miss.

You're back at a good time. My new semester started this week. A lot has happened in your absence. My days are getting full again.

Monday night: Language class
Tuesday night: Dissertation meeting/dissertation writing
Wednesday night: Campaign Design class
Thursday night: Public Communication Strategies class

All this with a fulltime job on the side. A friend said I am being too harsh on myself. Another said I may have signed up for more than I can handle. They're partly right, but you know me. I don't want to allow myself to slacken because of my strong belief that the human body and mind take no time to turn into instant slobs of fat and laziness respectively if you don't run a tight ship. We're just bull-shitting ourselves when we think we're too busy with stuff. There's always time for everything. If we really want to do something, that is.

So yes, I run a tight ship of discipline in my life.

But the truth is - without you I probably won't be able to do as much as I am doing now. Without your encouragement and support, things won't look as effortless to the world as they do. I am amazed at the fact that you're still around me. In spite of me. Sometimes I feel I'm being selfish. I slam you about how much you annoy me, and make fun of you on my blog every now and then. In spite of all that, I want you to know that I do appreciate your presence in my life.

And the fact that you respect my need for your absence at times.

Thank you for leaving me alone.
Thank you for coming back to me.

I guess we have a really strange relationship. But I do know that I probably wouldn't be me if you were not you.

You complement me. And so I decided that for a change, I should compliment you.

Hi Sayesha,

I recently came across your blog while googling for something else and have really been enjoying reading it. I thought I must compliment you. Some sections are really inspiring.

BUt main iss adalat me apani baat rakhana chahti hoon!

mac ne, mujhe yakken hai, post nahi padhi hogi!!
Mere iss bayan ka sabse bada saboot yeh hai ki
mac ne post ke baare mein kutch bhi nahi kaha hai apane comment mein

or saath hi, unka comment bhi buss doh shabdo ka hai!

iska matlab yeh haiki
na kewal main blog parr pehle aayi
aur maine post padhi parr , mee larrdd,saath hi maine bada comment bhi likha jisko likhane mein jyadah samay laga hoga.
(saboot k liye adalat, dekh sakti hai ki mac jee or mera, donoh ke comment ka time ekdum same hai dus baj ke ikyawan minute)

isliye saare sabuto se yeh spashta hota hai ki mac jee ke pehle main aayi..meane post padhi aur comment karra...
isiliye mein chahti hu ki mujhe nyay mile aur silver mujhe hi mile.

Me Lord(Lady?),

In my defence, I did not leave any comment because it would have had to be a mean one for me to be a genuine MAC.

So, the silver is mine and your latest post (like all the others to date) sucks! ;)

Nirwa Mehta said...

:-) I knew it would be something like this! :D

And I think every one of us has an IAN! and that's what keeps us running..

Nirwa Mehta said...

Hi Sash!

I just read 3 lines of your post and I was sure you were talking to IAN :)

Great to see him back, you really need him now and he's a nice faithful one to you :)

All the best dear,
Take care,
Aarti

@ Raam Pyari
Itni defending mat karo Ruchi. No matter what, you can't take silver, coz you take the GOLD dear :)
Anon comments don't get any metals :)

And in that case, I guess I get bronze!!!

Take care,
Aarti

Nirwa Mehta said...

Sayesha said...

#Avs,
Welcome to Sayeshaz and thanks! :)

#MAC,
Nope. :)

#Raam Pyari,
Your Ian never leaves you?? I'd hate it if mine was around me 24-7! :O

#Satish,
You've already made your choice. Phir kaiku poochh raha hai phaaltu ka? :|

#Raam Pyari,
And yeh baat ko korat-kachahri le jaane ki kya zaroorat thi? Tu meri behen hai, tujhpar duniye bhar ke gold silver nyochhawar. Bas bolne ki deri hai bacha! :)

#MAC,
Silver's gone, my dear. MACs don't even get scrap metal on my blog. Tch tch. :P

//and your latest post (like all the others to date) sucks! ;)

Awwwww... that's adorable. Thanks. :) Your comment (like all the others to date) sucks too :)

#Nirwa,

//SHOWING MY THENGA OF TOES TOOOOOOO

World Gal yeh padhke maar dalegi tujhko! Uska copyrighted phrase hai! :O

#Rebellion,
Hahaha! Jo log Ian ko jaante hain, woh turant guess kar lenge!
ps: Actually, there's a little more to this post than Ian, but only one reader would get it. :)

#Nirwa,
Hahahaha! Ek purana gana yaad aaya - phool aise na pheko, phool bade naazuk hote hain... in this case, not so nazuk tho :P
