Who will cry when you die?

Cheesy,I know! But this one really got me thinking, after the innumerable rounds of dismissal of such 'not-my-type-of-talk' warriors, I got to this.I've become an expert at answering things on Orkut's forums and since I put so much effort, bringing them to log on this page!!

I am in no mood to edit- Understand/ Read at your own risk or ability. :)

"My first impression when I saw this thread, and the questions was to take a red pen and write one word next to every question, in bold- NONE!

Since tonight, I am in one of my nicer moods (which makes me feel upto taking a chance with answering this, I mean), I will answer, or try, my best :)

Who are your friends.. who likes you despite your flaws....?
My friends are those that can tolerate me. No one 'likes' flaws, for example, no one 'likes' a burnt toast, perhaps, you just dont care to point it out, or there is a better feeling you nurture inside for the person that it covers the minor showings of 'flaws'.

Who loves you unconditionally?
Umm, I never knew love comes on/with/under certain conditions?!!??!

Who are the people who go looking for you when you go missing?
I take breaks from people now and then, which is pretty much like going missing. And who's looked for me? Well, my friends, now, look for me, as in, to when I'll get back. If you are asking who will come and search for me,then its none. I would not like it much either. :)

Who are the people who call you up for advise,comfort,confiding?
I think I call and irritate my friends with my stuff :P (Which is comforting to both of us:P ) Those who can make me listen are also the same set, but they'll have to let me finish too ;)

Who accepts you as you are...?
I do not find much of complaining from anyone. They just say- 'Rukhiya, you are...' Now, the last word keeps changing between flattering/ swearing. So, I should think, I am accepted? (Sounds like 'We 'accept' mastercard :P)

Who is gonna miss you when you are not there?
Probably, my gang of friends at coll. Those are the only set I meet everyday. Rest of them- I am not continually in company! Miss me in their thoughts? A few close friends would, perhaps, when they think of our time together or when they would wish I were with them :)

Who CANNOT live without you?
What is more like a question to me is : Who CAN live WITH you? :)

Who tells you that you come FIRST in his/her life?
I've never cared about the numbering/ order- As long as I am in someone's life. Being the number one, should be good, or maybe, not as good. What do I care, anyway? No one ever 'told' me that :)

My friends= the ones I hold as friends.

Phew!! :)

Actually, Dolly- I am thankful to you. This thread indeed makes me realize things I've never addressed. Cheesy as it may sound, thank you so very much! "

How random is Random?

This is one of my fave questions-- How Random is Random??

Whenever I've said, my head is random, I have some nutcase around that coos in, 'me too'- And I feel like asking' How random do you think random is?' Are thoughts not related, isn't it a chain? Then it can't be random! Do you think out of the bound? Then perhaps it is, but can you wholly deny ANY link to the previous thought? Thought is a process, nay? Why do mine keep flying in and out like birds, in some scrambled pattern? Oh,if there is a pattern, I cannot be thinking random! Or maybe? Sometimes I just think I am random, and I think it pleases me to differ from the consensus, to be me- without another's thought influencing -which is when there is a pattern and absence of a randomness!

I think I'll tag this one- meditations of an insomniac :P
And I'll keep adding to this one <"I have SO much to say I don't even sleep!"> :D

Holding hands..what does it mean to you? :)

I found this thread on the community,FIBJ owned by Sachin (Orkut). Putting it up here :) I'll tag my friends obviously. :)
Its simple : What does it mean to you...?
...
The internet gyan says: Two or more people voluntarily hold hands for one of the following reasons and purposes:
...
1. handshake
...
2. in certain religious services, to pray
...
3. in various occult rituals
...
4. to express friendship or love
...
5. to enjoy physical intimacy
...
6. for emotional support
...
7. to guide (a child, a blind person, in darkness, etc.)
...
8. to urge to follow
...
9. to keep together (in a crowd or in darkness)
...
10.to help the other walk, stand or climb up
...
11. to dance
...
12. to arm wrestle
...

My answers :

1. handshake
Its not anything like holding hands- Very superfluous to me. So, it goes to people who've just been introduced to me [ This hasn't ever set well with me, my relations (intimate or otherwise) have never followed a formal introduction. :) ]
......
2. in certain religious services, to pray

.......
3. in various occult rituals
Excuse me, can I have an example of an 'occult ritual'? :P
.....
4. to express friendship or love
One of those HIGHLY romantic things for me. (Believe a Libran when she says that!).Takes less effort but gives such amazing feeling.
I've held hands with my friends for no reasons, when bored, and the hands hang lose by the shoulder/chair- Pat them, swing them to and fro. Feels so nice :)
Expressing love- Well, this is one thing a man SHOULD do when he proposes to his girl ! Better still, one thing he shouldn't forget to do ever! Speaks volumes :)
.......
5. to enjoy physical intimacy
Aye, you can end up finding your hand-twin :P :)
.......
6. for emotional support
On the contrary, how about hi-fives. Emotional support too :P
........
7. to guide (a child, a blind person, in darkness, etc.)
I don't know about guiding. But help a child/old man to some place- See how your heart swells :)
.....
8. to urge to follow
Hehe, my friends will know this better! I always have *important* things to say, I pull them out and have them follow me :P
.......
9. to keep together (in a crowd or in darkness)
Never did this! I love getting lost, I think :P
........
10.to help the other walk, stand or climb up
Yeah, climb trees, climb walls :D Mom is always supposed to help me stand, if shes around! :D
.......
11. to dance
Aah!! *Dreamy eyes* :) :)
......
12. to arm wrestle
Duh! Look at my biceps! :P

What is yours?? I'd like to tag :

Exams!

Nothing, nothing changes about this one thing- Exams!

This is one common thread to all Indian students- Exams are exams- they affect each and everyone- the top scorer, the averager, the bpls, everyone :P

Common denominators/quotients/remainders/whatever!!

Terrified- The off color faces, once the date of the exam is passed on. Picture-perfect! :P
Petrified- The day before the exam - "I know nothing, yet!! Are we going to pass?? *The saddest, most helpless look ever*" - While on the inside - Shit, I have 10 more chapters to finish- I will!! *Battling that heavy drowning sigh :P*
Mugging- Days in, Nights out :D Cram!! There is no better word :D
Nauseating- In front of the exam hall when you have this terrible churn in the stomach that says- Oh ****!!!
Emesis- In the exam hall - I am just using a polished term :P

After the exam

- Discuss *Sshh, you've done your best - 'You are your only comfort', nay? :P*

Resume! Back to normal!! :)

[Disclaimer- This is the general consensus, through my cynical eyes- This ,in no way applies to me!! If you don't buy it(The above, or my disclaimer)- let me tell you, I have an exam morrow :D- Braveheart, eh? :P *I am just in NO mood to study! :(*]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things that amuse me / amuse everyone - in the time around exams :

- The capacity for adsorption- The tremendous ability that is granted to you, only and only the day before the exam. I guess it should fly away afterwards, there are ever so many people giving exams all over :P
- The zillion wonderful thoughts- I can think of the most 'wonderful' thoughts- those that are cheesy/mushy/funny/serious/world-changing/deeply introspective/retrospective/blah blah et al.
- I can make the most exciting friend or strike upon the most awesome piece of art/ poetry just then.
- I can get SO inspired to work harder, so very inspired! *again, the following day, there isn't one trace :P*
- I get all hungry, all so sleepy- but I have to stay up and eat lesser, duh! All the past days' hunger and sleep come calling only then!

Blah, blah- Since I am updating this part AFTER the exam, the other things seem to have abandoned me. So when its exam time again, expect an update. Of course, you are free to share in yours too :P
