Something Strange... ;)

Hehe... I am feeling so weird writing this already!! :P
I know this is so...umm...ajeeb!! Strange!! All of us, in our late teens or early twenties are bound to know the internet, this gtalk, yahoo messenger thingies...we do make new friends, endlessly chat with them, hide the mobile and message them...blah blah blah! Innit?

But just imagine, how strange it is if our mom makes new friends and chats with them through sms...obviously without hiding her phone...duh!! Earlier, it was my mom who shouted on me whenever she saw me messaging my friends without even looking at the keypad...and now, when I see my mom messaging her friends...umm... i notice her message typing speed has increased!! Oh lord, hell, why am I being so possessive about her!!

Out of the blues, when she shouted on me - "Aarthiiiii, whom are you messaging?? What are you kids up to??"...I always felt like asking her what her problem was and why she could not give me the space I want!! But hell, now when I see her messaging her friends... I feel like snatching away that phone from her and asking her friend - "What is your problem??? Can't you just stay away you fool???"
Sigh! Sigh!
I now understand the reason behind her behaviour when she objected to my messaging my friends or talking on the phone for long. Damn, this is a terrible feeling I tell ya! :P
Is it out of that possessive feeling that we tend to feel awkward? Or, is it because of the fear we have that something wrong should not happen to them? I just don't know what it is... It is just that i'll take a little time to accept that she can also make new friends, she can also feel the same way I do! Am going crazyyyyy!!!!! :P :P

But yes, amidst all these, one thing that I have realized is that...she understands me more now! :) She understands why we need those friends in our lives, what makes them so special for us! She understands why we need to keep in touch with them...messages, calls...everything! :)

Haaaa....phew! Relieved! ;)
I love you mom. Trust me, I am a very protective and possessive smart li'l kid you have!! I don't want to see something wrong happening to you. Please forgive me if I behave irrationally at times!! Want to see you happy always...

Artz! :)

I miss you, do you?

I knew it would never be easy
Easy not to think about you
You gave me the reason to believe
Believe in the truth and in you

You always said the truth
Truth that I would be missed
Missed when I am gone
Gone to where I was from

From that day I am waiting
Waiting to hear from you
You are the one I am longing for
For you is to where I belong…

Acro... Penguin & Grasshopper

Protective about each other
Ever playing pranks
Never will they part their ways
God knows why they met so late
Unleashing their secrets
In no time
Now inseparable they are

Glowing is their friendship
Radiance personified
A thought for a second
Smiles are back on the lips
Sadness fades away
Heaven smiles at them
Oh, it feels so great
Praying that the saga continues
Praying that it gets better
Ever if you need me grasshopper
Rest assured you be, I AM HERE!

Thank you!

Ohk...so where do we begin with? I had been to Chennai for 20 days!! :-o Yes, and that is surely a big thing in itself! Damn, its like I have never stayed in Chennai for more than a week!!

I met many of my TWL friends...enjoyed to the core! Thank you Freelancer, Heena, John and Thoorz... you made my weekend! :D :D

Thank you Arv for making it... ;)

I am feeling kinda rejuvenated, happy, back to my smiling self...trust me, this was much needed. Thankfully, I am back now... back to my blogging! :D :D

C ya soon guys! :D :D

Love,

Artz!

Dad, this is for you.

I bow down to you

Your patience

The unconditional love

All those teachings

For those sleepless nights

When I cried in the cradle

For that shoulder

On which you put me to sleep

For that first alphabet

You taught me

For that first day I won an award

The encouragement you gave me

The tremendous support

I've always had from you

Those smiles you gave

When in times so blue

No one can do

What you have done for me

Nor can words do justice

To what I today feel

You would always be my star

That even shines on a rainy night

I love you dad
You always be the reason behind my pride!

The New Look!!!

Hey everyone,

Pragmatic Utopia has got a new makeover done. Like this? I personally loved it.

Thanks a lot Leo for helping me get this done. Guys, shhhhh!!! I am a zero when it comes to html and stuff! :P

It has got a lot of red and charcoal grey in it. It looks fabulous now. Don't miss that previous template that had that cup of coffee... ;)

Love,

Artz

They Said YES!!!

He woke me up that morning! Just the night before I had cried...cried like never before... cried so much that the whole of the town could drown in my tears!

I could hardly open my eyes since the curtains were drawn out and the sun peeped straight on to my face! Phew!
Why is it that I cried last night because of the two souls I cherish the most? Why is it that they could see me crying and still do nothing? Why?

Anyways, I saw him standing right in front of me, winking! I gave him a short and sweet smile and tried to drag myself out of this cozy bed. He leaned on the bed, came close to me and whispered something in my ears...
I jumped out of the bed... stood there for a minute...shocked!!! I don't know how he did it! How??? How was this possible...that too in such a short span of time!!!

He pinched me to bring me to my senses!!!
He had a big grin on his face and I had a bigger one! :D

I hugged him... hugged him tighter, hugged him in a way that he would never be able to forget this hug!
He said..."They said YES!"

I could not believe that they have approved of this after last night that was full of arguments and resentments...
I hugged him once again and whispered - "Thank you bro! It is because of you that I am going abroad to continue my studies! Thank you so much! I love you..."

BLINDNESS - An Acrostic

Been deceived by God in birth

Lonely I was till my soul saw you

It is through your eyes

Night that lasted long came to an end

Destined I was to see

Nature, smiles and happiness

Every moment I am reminded

Seeing is believing

Seeing through my own, or yours!
