# 124 Ah Nevermind !

• How many times has it happened with you that you are looking at something, but it doesn’t get registered into your brain?
• How many times have you asked the question “where are my keys”, while you were still staring at them?
• How many times have you looked back at your life while you are still marching ahead?
• How many times have you drank water enough to spill over your shirt and wet the part that generally is attributed to babies?

Is it called “hallu“cination? Were you “hallu” about something someone or simply yourself?

Well now I know one such “hallu“fied person. In general, the mouth of a man stays closed, and in awestruck conditions it opens up wide. While for this person, it generally stays open, and in the ethereal state shuts down!

Ok, so is there something worth telling? Oh yes…
Lingo is a “cool” aspect of any youth! And lingo-es evolve faster than the language itself. One such words which was formed recently has been “AWEKASAM“.

All dues to SoMany and Blacki, Awekasam = Awesome + Maakasam Nice? Well Yeh!

Ok, there is one more thing worth telling….
I was on my cycle returning from dinner, and happened to pause by a corner. Suddenly, this guy comes up, stops by me and asks…
“are you aditya?”
“yes“
“aditya MARATHE?”
“yes“
“congratulations for your essay, i follow your blog regularly“
“thanx, you are udit, right?“
“yes how do you knw me?“
“i follow your blog too“

[:P]
both of us caught unaware of trespassers!

# 123: I won I won

Ok this is something like a pat on my own back…
But please refer to:

# 122 circa 2006

Perhaps the worst year for me….
and my family!

Would just hope it is fast forgotten!

Wont like to elaborate on what all we have been through….

But it was just not good.

Would like to offer my shraddhanjali to my beloved grandparents :
Late Smt Rajani Marathe (1934 - March 15, 2006)
Late Shri Prabhakar Marathe (June 23, 1923 - December 21, 2006)

I just hope I get them back in my next birth too!

So many lives lost to cruel human actions. So many tears rolled.
So many bad decisions taken by people who should have acted more responsibly.

Hoping that the world would change for the better.
I wish myself a happy new year 2007 and hope its good for me, my family and everyone around!
