Unnecessary formality ...

As usual, i am back after a long time...
its not tht i dont hav nethin to write or time to write... its just tht i dont push myself to write... however hard i try .. the last thing i do is to write ... well sooner or later i need to get rid of this habit of mine...

now cumin back to the topic...
i came across the title as a description for a ceremony we regard in high esteem... the response was on a class survey that was circulated in the class..
regardin class surveys .. we used to hav it durin my undergrad days.. it was very much fun and the whole class used to be part of it... we used to pick somethin thts of common interest to the class and pass on the survey across the class when the class was goin on .. at the end of the class i used to write few of the responses on the board.... man, life was so interestin then.. i miss those days.. well almost.. not those where i hav been the victim of the survey :) ...

since i entered into post grad.. didn't hav nethin similar to it durin the first year.. in the second year .. in order to kill time me and my neighbour started this survey on "wht do u think marriage is".. as it made its way thru the guys.. it had only lustful remarks such as licensed sex ... unrestricted sex .. so on and so forth .. we had to chip in with couple of senti lines to
keep the sanctity of the survey.. well there were few interestin responses but the one tht caught me is the topic of this post...

there was plenty of discussion over the topic.. but i am not goin to write about it now...
will surely do it sometime later....

The Quote ...

Well.. comin back after a really long time..
i hav promised myself yet again tht i will be a regular blogger...
but this is one promise i hav not been able to honor... but the promise saga continues..

ok.. back to bloggin...

i luv quotes.... ne witty retort impresses me...
i used to hav a gud collection of the quotes i had come across...frm the books i read, newspaper, conversation and evn i subscribed to quite a few quote sites too...

these days i hav started browsin thru wikipedia very often... thts one place u get info abt everythin.. i don't vouch for it.. nonetheless it gives u whtevr info u need ... i agree there are some doubts regardin its authenticity.. but thts the last thing tht bothers me....

while generally browsin thru wikipedia... i came across the Richard Bach page...
came across his quotes... i tell u i hav come across lots of them.. but his is a class apart...
i luv the quotes because it helps u to stop and contemplate on things.. gives u a different perspective to think about... eventually one feels it shuld be obvious...

my favorite quote from his collection is...

---->
I used to think that the purpose of language was to communicate. That if we were clear enough and careful enough, we could make anyone understand anything we write, make them see anything we see. Not so, I found.

The only people who can understand us are the ones who already know what we want to tell them, and then the best of our writing can merely remind, can simply whisper, "I know that, too."

Have you ever wondered why some readers love a book and others just don't get it? I'll tell you why (but you'll understand only if you already know)

------>

gud isn't it...

one of my good friend culdn't get thru an interview... she was down in depression.. she was not the rite fit for the profile.. she felt bad because she failed in the interview.. and she culdn't digest the fact....

That's what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning.
"The Bridge Across Forever"

guess.. this will do her some good..
ok..
folks.. bye frm me ...
will try to keep the promise i hav made...
