<br />
<i><b>Dear Parents,</b></i><br />
<br />
<i>I do not have words to express my gratitude to God for having bestowed me with such wonderful parents like you. You've fulfilled each and every wish of ours much before we asked you for anything. The strong values that you've imbibed in me, make me the person I am today.</i><br />
<br />
<i> Dad, I owe my audacity to speak up against wrong , to you. I have grown up seeing you fighting against wrong at every step -always doing what is morally right and I feel so proud of you , even if I don't show it often. Whenever someone asks 'So you don't have any son? just two daughters?' and you proudly say that 'These are my sons' makes me feel so proud and instills in me a sense of confidence and inspires me to do even better.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Mom, I owe my belief in the righteous path and in God to you. You've always taught me that one reaps what he sows and that even if someone is not good to us, we should not behave with them in the same way because God will punish them Himself. I never used to believe in it earlier but now I do. I really admire you for your strength of will wondering about how you completed your doctorate degree after I was born. But I just don't like it when you say that you want me to settle down fast and at that time, I have to look upto dad for support. I want to experience life on my own-getting stuck with a partner is just not my aim.You may be right from your perspective which I'll probably understand years later, but for now, I won't succumb to any kind of emotional blackmail.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>I can never repay what all you have done for us. But I just hope that I can live upto your expectations so in the next life too, you'd ask God to send me as your daughter because I sure want you as parents every time :)</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Love you both</i><br />
<i>you-know-who</i><br />
<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><b><i>Dear Best Friend,</i></b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i>I have always wanted to tell you that I feel really lucky to have you as friend. I like it when you remember each and every little thing about me. You're the first one to wish me on my b'day every year since the time we've known each other.I like how you share each and every secret of yours with me that aren't known even to your special friend and when you say that she has to understand my importance in your life. I like it when you try to advice me, telling me to be strong and practical, even though you yourself are so soft-hearted . I feel so good when I ask you for a favor and you do much more than what I asked you for.I have never felt so much comfortable with anyone as I am with you because you have always accepted me as I am- with my strengths and weaknesses-you've seen the worst side of me as well.</i><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><i>The most amazing thing about our friendship is whenever I am sad, you are always the first one to realize it and to call me up .I don't know how you do this( if it's some telepathy or something) . You truly are one of my strengths. Even though you are hundreds of miles away from me, still you've never forgotten me. I know I haven't been answering your calls properly for quite some time but that's just because I don't want you to be worried about me. When I look back, I wonder how we used to have difference of opinion on each and everything ,and we used to fight so much but still it's been 4 years of rock-solid friendship and I hope it'll keep on strengthening in the years to come. </i></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Events like the <a href="http://blog-a-ton.blogspot.com/">BAT</a> , no doubt , are a great source of inspiration-they actually help you recover from that writer's/blogger's block that you have been going through.Besides, you get to read the most amazingly wide variety of articles/stories/poems on the same prompt.The condition for putting up the post on the same day by everyone and the voting system seem to be just fair. But, is it actually fair? Let's see..</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Though I , myself , am new to this BAT thing (have participated just twice!) but much before I joined it, I used to observe the scenario in this contest(Yes, I had all the time in the world to see what everyone had written and what kind of response they were getting!).Coming back to the point, I feel that there are little pools here in this contest (or in any other contest, for that matter). There are some veteran bloggers which remain confined to their own group.There's nothing wrong with it but when they've been blogging for such a long time and are almost adept at it, shouldn't they visit and encourage new bloggers? After all that is the very aim of such contests, right? Fine, not everyone would like to take up the responsibility of encouraging each new blogger but when someone has bothered to write an honest comment on their blog post, should not they be courteous enough to visit them in return and leave their genuine footprints-it hardly takes any time but leaves the other one with a great sense of fulfillment.This was about the judging thing but what irks me most is that while voting too, the system remains the same. They go through the posts of ONLY those whom they have known for quite some time.When they don't read all the posts, how can we expect the voting system to be fair? And it's not about just one or two bloggers, owing to my good observation powers, I know which one belongs to which pool (I wont take any names here!) and believe me, there are a number of them and thus the fairness of the system fails here. I am not writing this because I want to garner some votes for myself (I participate just for improving my writing and that's all).There are way more talented and deserving people who enrich this event but it irks me when some most deserving candidates are left out of the race just because they are new to the event or they don't belong to any particular pool of bloggers.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
And what I was most shocked at, was that a participant (again, I wont take any names) had given the link just in time before the entries for the event were to close but when I visited the post, it was BLANK .Obviously, he did post the entry later on by editing the same blank post. Of course it's okay to edit the post to make some changes after the submission, but submitting a completely blank post is the height of unfairness and thus I am forced to write this post.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Another thing that I have noticed is that, the new participants too believe that if they visit the FAMOUS bloggers and vote for them, it'll help them in getting noticed. Again, I have observed this many times ( I just can't help observing behavior of people!) .They visit their blog, say 'hi' , 'hello', 'nice post!' and thus vote for them, even if they haven't read their post properly, probably in the hope that they will visit them someday or they'll be able to attract more blog followers. I just don't understand their strategy or motive behind participating but I, for one, make it a point to visit new bloggers even if I have to miss out on reading some posts by '<i>the so-called famous bloggers'</i> and quite obviously I usually don't vote for them either because my vote will not make any difference to them(they already have a huge vote bank with them! ) but I try to vote for someone whom I want to encourage to write more and better and not just to make them win, because I know that even if one single vote is in your favor, you're a winner already .</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">So here's hoping that the system will get fairer with time - Marshal tries his best to keep the integrity of the system intact but ultimately the onus of maintaining the fairness of system falls upon the participants(<i>democracy you see!</i>). </span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."</span> When are you are at you’re best?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1) When I am sitting quietly and writing down something :) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."</span> Do you ever think that you are boring?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2) Oh yes I am very boring, I just love to stay back home and do something of my own, rather than going out and having fun with people.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. "A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left." </span>Did you ever break off a relationship because you wanted to be the one to do it?`</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3) No Comments!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. "It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone."</span> Do you feel that she is correct?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4) That's true because your unhappiness bothers the other person too and if you can't make them happy then at least don't make them sad.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. "Ever notice how 'What the hell' is always the right answer?" </span>What was the last thing that you didn’t plan on doing but then thought, “What the hell!”?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">5) I don't use this phrase much.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. "We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."</span> Do you have any major regrets?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">6) Nope, not any major ones thankfully but yes I have those little ones that all of us have at one stage or the other.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">7. "What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course."</span> What do you wear to bed?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">7) Now that's obvious!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">8. "It’s better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what your not."</span> Have you ever pretended to be someone you are not because it was easier?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">8) That's the problem- I just can't pretend -Things would have been much easier and I would have been much happier if I could. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">9. "I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing."</span> Are you usually on time for events or appointments?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">9) Yes, I am very punctual most of the times but when it comes to meeting friends , I am ALWAYS late due to one reason or the other.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">10. "Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."</span> What makes you smile?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">10) That's the simplest-kids make me smile-when they look at you with a smile or they hold your finger or when they ask you innocent questions-each and every action of theirs make you smile.</div>Jaspreethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06202315073146078450noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480783770599436199.post-49086809473585144612010-09-04T23:05:00.000-07:002010-09-07T11:20:23.319-07:00Half the Man I Used to Be<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioGJPAv4h2uPhNvS7EFXysG-2xl-U_cMapd6SR1qjz5cYttF_u-7bx4Hjkj4-hHIT6WDLFoD_6TLg0v1iw7Gu1QPI6lzFiGVzFnhrF5A9OEHMibyuNhtj6h-RVI4l0DBQ_zI5K1OsAxWY/s1600/holiday+logo12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="79" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioGJPAv4h2uPhNvS7EFXysG-2xl-U_cMapd6SR1qjz5cYttF_u-7bx4Hjkj4-hHIT6WDLFoD_6TLg0v1iw7Gu1QPI6lzFiGVzFnhrF5A9OEHMibyuNhtj6h-RVI4l0DBQ_zI5K1OsAxWY/s320/holiday+logo12.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b>1. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that your were ten years ago?</b> </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">No at all! So much has changed since then.In fact I am not the same as I was 6 months ago!<br />
<b><br />
2. Is there something that you have to give all or nothing to?</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Loyalty! either you are loyal to someone/something or you are not-there is no middle path. <br />
<br />
<b>3. Have you ever gambled? What have you bet on and for how much? </b><br />
No! I don't like to see people lose-whether it's me or anybody else :)</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
<b>4. Can you sleep anywhere or does it have to be in a bed? </b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">My comfy chair-in fact I sleep in it most of the times.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
<b>5. Tell us about the most disastrous or embarrassing first impression you've ever made on someone.</b><br />
I don't remember any!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b>6. Do you have a memorable "ripped clothing" moment in your life? No? How about in someone else's?</b> </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Nope-I do not remember any such moment!<br />
<br />
<b>7. What's changed on your blog since its inception? ...a redo? ...a change of pace? ...or is it about the same?</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Well, my actual blog (<a href="http://jaspreet-images.blogspot.com/">Images</a>) has undergone a major change in terms of content, pace and the template too.<br />
<br />
<b>8. If you could travel back in time and whisper something to yourself ten years ago, what would it be? </b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Learn to give to others, whatever you can, but do not expect anything in return from anyone!<br />
<br />
<b>9. Okay, let's have it! What's the craziest, most impulsive thing you've ever done?</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The recent one is-I wrote a mail to someone in a fit of anger after he said something not acceptable to me.I accused him for things which he hadn't even done and I regret having done so, each passing minute of my life because he just doesn't listen to what I have to say.<br />
