A l0t of Confusion !! ~X(

... can occur when:

1.   Y0u are interested in s0meone, and that ‘some0ne’ thinks you are interested in some0ne else and the ‘some0ne else’ is related to both the ‘some0ne’ you are interested in, and y0u !

2.   Someone replaces an ‘E’ with an ‘A’. Like in the song, “Ring my Bells” :P =))

3.   You send some0ne to fix you up, with someone you have fixed your eyes on, and that someone you have fixed your eyes on fixes his/her eyes upon the 0ne you originally sent to fix you up !

4.   You want one thing and your Freudian self wants another :( :P

5.   You realize you are horn-like.. at a totally wrong time!!

6.    “I Like It ” ends in 3:35 secs. *whatever the hell has happened to Wmp?*

7.   Someone says “I want to dance a flamingo” :P

8.   Your siesta lasts for like Three (t with a trill, adds the Spanish thrill :D)hrs. (like mine :P) Siesta, you say, eh?? ;)

9.   I am singing paeans to Enrique and someone mentions ‘Julio’ :| T0tally Unacceptable :|

10. Someone is searching for Enrique’s CFM-l0ok pics. ! (What’s there to search for? All Enrique looks are naturally CFM-lo0kx! )

11. Usher misses the “Y0U” in “She can turn you into an animal”. :P Werewolf thi kya? :P

TO Mr. 0R Ms. S&U :)

I love to Enquire! (in case you dint notice, *Enquire* is an ANAGRAM for* Enrique* :P) haha! W0rds! Ai l0ve ‘em ! :D

I dreamt of LIBOR Scam and Bashar al-Assad !! OMG!!

Whatever the hell happened to creativity, Mr. S&U ??

Don’t leave me in the lurch.! N0t now. N0t ever!

Enrique, Poems and Plots were doing good enough dear, why leave it? I am doing my work, y0u please take care of yours. 0r else, how are we to survive?

Freud has asserted that Mr. S&U. ‘con’ us, for we have no control on em.. (and I have to believe Freud for lack of more experienced an authority on the subject).

Y0u have the power to do what you like my dear, but remember, we decided to be friends. ? Things were going all right! But if I am going to dream about the LIBOR Scam, (of all things in the world!).. maybe its time to knock the doors of .. well, a book. Lois Tyson, maybe? 

Leave all the hard and fast facts of the world to me, you please d0nt desert my soul! For if that is to happen, where am I to return to? Hold ground. Be strong.

We belong Together.

And.This.We.Cant.Change.

Next time, try something better. :)

+Even the title sounds like S&P ! But, its my Conscious writing this, so its 0kay :P Eliot will have to wait :( +

D0es That Happen ?

Does a sound knowledge (and I don’t mean just a theoretical aspect) of psychology insure an equally effective usage in practical contexts? : An effective usage in practical situations should become a source of great power, for we would then be able to understand, and thus control, even if slightly, (by responding suitably) the behaviour of others by recognizing their psychological stimuli and reacting in a way that will serve our purpose.

But the question is: D0es that happen?

From whatever little knowledge of human psychology that I have, I expected it to bestow on me, a share of power in an equal ratio. But, as it turns out to be, the case is so not it! I could trace three reasons behind it :

1.    I am unable to rise above *my* psychological issues and more often than not, think about the impact a certain situation is going to have on me, rather than concentrating on h0w to best apply my theories to recognize and interpret behaviour patterns of others.. leave alone all the talk on how  influence it :P

2.    Words become my undoing. I speak so much that I forget to register the nuances (which by the way are crucial if are to develop the ‘intuition’).

3.    This entire *i-know-psychology-so-i-m-gonna-get-you-to-do-what-i-want* d0esn’t really work on parents! Maybe God has installed some inbuilt *i-have-a-better-knowledge-of-psychology-than-my-kids* chip in them. :| It never seems to work with them !!!

I have no intention whatsoever, of negating the importance of p0wer of psychology, for if nothing else, it does help us in understanding better, ourselves. And that’s no mean thing! For this I shall always be thankful to psychology, more appropriately, its literary wing.

 But I really feel someone should write a book on “How to Use Your Knowledge of Psychology to Beat Y0ur Parents’ Inbuilt Chip”

It will become an instant bestseller. !

N0 kidding !

Subah ho gayi mamu :P  *1AM in mi clock*

//The Late Riser (has to be, if one listens to Enrique till 2 in the morning. The sweet voice is better than any lullaby in the world! :D)

P.S: I added the above line soon as I noticed that there was *n0 mention of Enrique* anywhere! Gee! I almost panicked ! :P

# It’s like y0u are my favourite Drug :”>

The Fear of Mediocrity

Its supremely ironical that sometimes the “Fear of Mediocrity” holds us back from rising above the levels of what we think is “good enough in its own right” but is actually just another level of mediocrity!

There a times when we try to shy away from ‘the next best thing’ because we fear that we might as well turn out to be ‘The Mediocre’ and we easily chose ‘our comfort pad’ because its somehow easier to excel in there. But then to not even try to rise above our predefined, time tested levels .. isn’t this the classic example, a predefined formula, of being a mediocre?

Shouldn’t we at least give it a try? If only, to tell ourselves that we aren’t really “give-uppers” (if such a word even exists :P)

 Rest is all up to God, the Almighty.

Besides, are we such a mediocre that we can’t even do something we have absolutely decided to do?

*Now, before some of you, as always, start to wonder how such profound thoughts are flowing out of the pens of the girl who looks so inconsequential, and is actually so trivial and immature; let me tell you that Enrique inspires these great thoughts in me :)

The way he ventured out of his ‘comfort pad’ with his album ‘Euphoria’ is truly very highly inspiring.! He traded his simple love ballads (which had outlived there shelf life and wasn’t really gelling with the current music scene) for a more upbeat, more modern style, branching out, experimenting with different genres like rap (with Pitbull), Hip-hop (‘Push’ from Insomniac) and others.

A lot of hard work has gone into creating music that is decidedly ‘different’ from Enrique v.1.

The subject however remains the same : L0VE. :D B-)

After all, if it’s not love, how are we to recognize that its 0ur Supern0va? ;)

The move invited a lot of ire from people who call him ‘his great fans’, for they missed the ‘old’ style of Enrique. These fans, I think, totally missed the point. Or they weren’t really great fans. For Enrique retains his ‘trademark’, his quality, his ‘ooh yeahs’, his ‘oh no’s!’and ‘yeaaahs’ in ‘Euphoria’.

His ‘Ennrique-ness’ which all of us *real*fans hold very dear and close to our hearts, is very much still there.

He couldn’t take in mediocrity after tasting Success, after being the best, realized that he was somehow falling into that vicious trap of making oneself believe that ‘my mediocre place is good enough’. He woke to a realization that he is somehow falling behind and he did all it took to rise above.. to be the best.. and not just ‘the next best’..

He realized, as he says:

“We know we got what it takes to make it”

…and if this is how we proceed.. indeed,

“In the end, Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” :)
