It's been one loooonng week!! And I come online to find that other than Ay, no one else has posted anything anywhere. I guess its in the air or something.
I still haven't finished my exams... have three more to go, and hopefully will be done by next week. Pray!! Have mercy.
Something happened in college the other day that got me thinking... I was just doing my senior duties and ragging a few juniors... if you just said "You? Ragging?" then get out of here, before i finish saying uncle. Now. Ragging doesn't have to be of the dirty shitty kind.. making people cry and making them feel anything lesser than what they are worth. It's about building familiarity.
Even though familiarity is the last thing I want with these dirty lil things that have joined college. Surprised? I was too... I grew out of the looking down my nose thing a while ago... but apparently, some of it is in my blood. I like being the youngest!
Anyway, this whole ragging thing... we just made them do sthupit stuff. kissing the board, making rockets, mismatched clothes and the likes. I won't go into details about the incident... but it saddens me to see that people, most people, don't understand how important humor is.
Personally, I measure the worth of a person by his sense of humor. His ability to laugh. At himself and with the world. It forms a damn huge part of whatever lil that I am. How can one not laugh??
I've learnt that life's too serious. Which is why it's important to laugh once in a while. It comes a close second to breathing on the important list. Yes, laughing at yourself is probably the last level a person can ever reach... but how about laughing, well, cuz something is funny. Or silly. Just letting loose and giving in to the moment?
I guess that's where the problem is... the letting loose. I've reached a point in my life where happy moments scare me. So, I hide behind sarcasm. It might not sound original, considering that I'm saying it about me... But, I've seen people do it. And when I look at the way I act, I see it there too. I'm starting to ramble.
Fact is, whatever it is, I do let a smile out once in a while. You should do it more often too. It makes you look younger. It's got a nice sound to it. It makes others want to smile. It brings out the twinkle in your eyes. It makes people feel safe.
Basically, life's too short to hold grudges. So, enjoy the moment. There's alot of people in worse situations than the one you might be in... *reading this is not being counted, hence, your arguement doesn't/won't hold good. So, save your breath* There's work to be done... smiles to be spread.
Do something silly or nice for yourself or someone in your life everyday... see how much of a difference it makes. Heck, seeing you guys have bisited makes me smile. Everyday. My mum thinks I'm crazy. There's a lot of terrible stuff in this world. There is a lot of hurt in our hearts, I agree. There's tension and worry and pain and anger. And numbness. Which is why, it's even more important to do this. To feel alive.
Go ahead and do it. Make my day.
*puppy dog look*
Lotsaluv and hugs to all of you,
Yours forever sthupitly.
aww...lovely post...very very nice..:):)
cheers
Sona...
PS:make someone smile today huh?!?! will try that madam,but actually its getting pretty difficult to get ppl away from their worries and actually *SMILE*..will try though..
:):)
hey nice blog!
sure sure!
raggin is well and ood if done properly! u may do just a few humerous things but you are encouraging the next year to do the same.
and most of the people who do it are a bunch of retards who try improve their self worth by degrading. you think asking me to spend a thousand bucks on ma seniors is funny? i kicked their ass coz i knew lotta peole in te college but some other guys got screwed! you think makin a guy run naked in the ground is funny?
you may stick to ur limits but the next buncha guys wont! Humour is important but so is respecting other people's rights! im against ragging and always will be!
but hey! the idea to make some one smile rules! i do that everyday! :D these blogs are more of my serious side but im quite the joker round here! clumsy and always doin um things ill never grow up and i love it!
yours darkly in the light
@sona: thankus... try it.. it's worth the effort.
@harry: thankus bery much, hope to see you here again.
@dark: i knw what your talking about.. and no, it's not funny. I agree with you. But in my defence, me did no such thing. just made them run around college a lil it, doing stupid stuff. No naked. No horrible stuff. been there, done that.
joker, it is.
Thankus for bisiting guys, lotsaluv and hugs,
Yours forever sthupitly.
ay!
how is it you don't smile that much and you speak about it?
Hey! Glad Your Back.. Exams still going strong i see.. lol have fun..
How WUUUUUB exams...
Ragging is cool.. but within a limit.. I was never ragged coz my college mates were scared to rag me.. I wonder what scared them in "lil ol' me".
*Innocent Face*
So i cant comment much on the topic..
Well making some1 smile everyday can have two results..
a.) you lose the energy to smile urself
b.) you are left with that good feeling of hapiness in ur head/heart
I have been suffered to the fate of option a :'( i make people laugh all day but in the end i dont have the ability to laugh when others try to make me... confusing huh?
Rythwin
it is difficult to smile, sometimes.
but this post sure did make me smile...
i like being the youngest too.. and though i am not very fond of my juniors, i had horrible seniors.. thank god I'm in final year!!!
which college you in and what course are you doing?
AND i did post..
Hmmmpphh..
*sniff sniff*
dai!
how you the youngest!! i though i was the lucky one??
Absolutely. I agree.. One needs guts!! ..guts to do silly things.. We start to think of what other thinks. That's the reason why the words shame, embarrassment, guilt, silly and quite a few, still exist.
I'm sure, everyone has their own experience of being silly and later questioning in their minds: 'Didn't anyone know/think about that at all?, or Did they?'
The topic has changed to silly because, silly things are the funniest things (as long as you don't do it). Most comedies involve someone making silly of oneself or others directly or indirectly. Proofs: 'Koundamani, Senthil', 'Charlie Chaplin', 'Laurel and Hardy' and many, many, many.
You smile when it hits your brain. You smile when it facinates.
You smile artificially, sarcastically
But i smile/laugh for no reasons (seeing which others may laugh: This guy must be crazy,) lol.
One other reason i see in me is: Even after its been minutes the joke ended, i still find myself with a broad smile on my face. I had to come to the real world and slowly relax it. Wonder how many of you've got this habit. I smile briefly and unconsiously when i see someone smile/laugh (near, far, anywhere) -- just like how you yawn when you see others do.
Someone rags (well, say, within the limits) do it with a smile. It shouldn't be boring though -- put forward the condition. I only feel sorry for those who get easily pissed off. I still do it and smile because it makes atleast someone happy. I will still feel happy for those laughing at me for being so. (oh, what a fool. lol)
Here is a new trick: You can also smile to confuse people. Somebody comes and asks you: Excuse me, what time is it now? *Show all your teeth* . He thinks: Does this guy has a watch at all or does his watch really works, or did i ask something silly? :P **Look at their confused faces** And smile you will. --more--, more and more.. :P - I should be crazy!
lol :)
Nice post btw! :)

A little bit of gibberish tehre here and.
@sis: you have a point there. I do the making people laugh part. it's easier...
@Ry: scared of lil ol you, it seems. Barf. I know what your saying, i hear you.. not confusing at all.
@anna: my seniors aint all that bad, but still it's best being the youngest. Glad the post makes you smile, we work to please.
@anna(again): sawry :)
@sis *(again): was talking about college.
@Neo: glad you liked it. yep, guts is wht it takes.. like i said, it's most difficult to laugh with the world when they laugh at you, but once you do that, your worth something in this life.
Thankus for bisiting guys... lotsaluv and hugs,
Yours forever sthupitly.
