a random thought...
You are alone in life...
...but then there are memories
and people-hopping in and out
to make sure there are rarely times when you feel totally desolate...
Cheers to God's lovely social structure! :P
A passion, a dream, a lifeline...
Call it whatever you want; writing helps me stay alive. As ripples of thoughts emerge, words take form and here they are- wedges of my imagination for all those who pause a second to read The Dreamy Dryad...
You are alone in life...

Considering the girl who tagged me is someone with whom I can associate myself sooo well(Nithya), this is gonna sound so much like what she wrote!
:P
Ten Things You Wish You Could Say To People Right Now (names withheld) :
1) You don't know how much you mean to me! You're the one person who means the most to me in this world. I'd do anything for you.Yeah, it IS tough to believe when I don't even do the little things you ask me to! :P Sometimes I think, maybe I'm NOT the kind of person you wanted. Sometimes I could see pride in your eyes when you look at me. I wish I KNEW what you think of me. No matter who goes away from my life, I can manage. But without you, I'd be nothing! I've been cruel, horrible, lazy, mean, stubborn and more to you. But I still LOVE you! :)Eight Ways To Win Your Heart
1) Have a great conversation with me! I'll be floored!
2) Do something JUST for me- cook, write a letter, think of me and message, call me saying 'i felt like talking to you', something, anything! :) the fact that i mean something to you makes my day! :)
3) Chocolates! :D ferrero rocher, dairy milk, crackle especially! :D
4) Ask me to entertain you when you are bored(straight out of Nithya's :P)
5) take me on a long walk or insist I spend time with you! :)
6) smile at me wholeheartedly! :)
7) Be candid to me. Be yourself. I loathe artificiality. (Nithya's again!:P)
8) Let's both do something crazy- write shitty poems, war dance in the terrace, invent a new language, etc! :P
Seven Things That Cross Your Mind A Lot
1) Why do i confuse myself so much?
2) Am i doing right?
3) Was I destined to do this ?
4) Why do I have trouble in accepting things ?
5) Why do I get emotionally attached ? Why do I entertain false hopes ?
6) Are people taking me for granted? Do they genuinely care for me? Am i being a little-too-nice to everyone?
7) Am I asking for too much out of life?
Six Things You Wish You Never Did
1) Some words, meant well, but that caused someone to forget the lovely friendship we had shared till then. I've tried a million times to patch it up. But somehow, thigs have changed and it still hurts that I lost one of the most true friends I had and treasured! I wish things would change back to normal... but i know it might not happen!
2) I trusted people. And they were untrustworthy!
3) I wish I had never stopped my swimming and keyboard classes! I wish I had learnt dance professionally
4)I wish I never grew up! :(
5) I wish people would understand that I don't OVER-REACT, but that's just MY WAY of reacting!
6) I wish I could rewrite a few chapters of my life... undo a lot of things, change a few and make myself more happy!
Five Turn-Off’s
1) ArtificialityFour Turn-On’s
1) A nice start to the day... like a slight drizzle, some friend's message/call, chilly breeze, purple dawns, nice dreams, birthday mornings when amma wakes me up saying 'Happy birthday'! :) , Vishu mornings when I close my eye, stumble across and look at gold! :DThree Things You Want To Do Before You Die
Too many things! :) globe-trot, publish a book, be called a good human being to name just three!
Two Smileys that Describe You
:O
One Confession
I do feel lonely at times, and feel unimportant, useless and a huge failure in a few particular ways!
I tag- whoever wants to take it up! :P

Sometimes you KNOW you need to blog.. to write something and fill in those really low moments when you seem to be so unsure of everything you do/talk/think! Weirdly, from the morning, many little incidents have been piling up-insignificant in isolation- but together making me feel 'oh-god-WHAT-am-I-doing-in-life?'!!!
So many choices made that are making me confused.
So many choices ebing made that are making me unsure of the next step I take!
So many choices ahead!
Sometimes I wish I KNEW what i'm supposed to do! People accuse you so often-so easily! Some in jest, some so seriously and some-just 'cos they did not have anything better to talk about! And sometimes, although it's not supposed to hurt you NO-MATTER-WHAT, it DOES hurt and your stupid shrinking mind thinks of it all day and ruins your mindframe at the end of the day.
I BADLY feel like taking a few days off from everything and EVERYONE and travel! I can't wait for my next course to begin in 1.5 yrs...
I'm not depressed! I am just feeling that sinking, totally empty, kinda dull aching feeling inside. No one can help. I need to help myself. And when this paralytic benumbing phase seizes you, it's kind of difficult to gather yourself and start your normal work!
Sometimes I wish i knew what life was all about...

It is extremely unfair if I begin this letter with a 'hope this finds you in the best of spirits'! I have shamelessly and unceremoniously ditched you all along. A pathetic excuse of 'not feeling like blogging' shall never quite compensate for this prolonged silence.
So I seek no apology nor do I write any more reasons!
Before you freak out thinking I have once and forever decided to dump you, here's the truth- NO bloggie! NEVER shall that be even a possibility!
I am back! And I've decided to blog more frequently. Of course, you KNOW how I feel about filler posts and stuff. I shall not resort to them at the maximum. But in case, in case, I feel like making some meaningless noise, I shall put in some filler posts like that pathetic 'Orkut fotune cookie' post that I had put up previous to this.
I have not been in any 'non-writing' mode. In fact, I've started a new blog! Now now.. don't you be threatened. You share space with these 5 sister bloggie friends and you may well be assured that you still are the first, my very best and most priceless bloggie of them all. Now, Stop grinning! :P
Going back to that 'new blog', it's actually a joint venture by 3 of us. Oh...the usual suspects- Arvind and Anoodha. It is a movie blog. Yes, ONE MORE of them that floats in blogsville. The only difference being- nothing at all! :D The three of us update it at our convenience. We don't write amazing reviews nor do we write
anything of great quality. But it is OURS, we're constantly learning and improving(I hope!).
So in case you want to go sneak-a-peek at your new bloggie buddy, here you go, D-O....
http://rollingcamera.blogspot.com
and the Blog's called 'Montages..'
Did you know I'm going to seriously take up writing and journalism as a career? Seems strange, eh, after 5 whole years of architecture?! Well, the FIVE years itself aren't over yet! In one way, it seems to have stretched a hell of a lotlonger than for the rest and in another way it seems to have just flown past. Just an year and 2 months left now in architecture.
And then... I shall flutter my wings in the new horizon. I trust in God to keep the wind steady and the flight-not too difficult! And most of all- I trust in myself to be able to continue my passion in a more serious manner!
Somebody had told me,randomly in some conversation, D-O, that sportsmen are really lucky to be taking up seriously what others look at as a hobby! That's so true.
I never quite have forgotten those
words although it skips me as to WHO told me that! Apart from the immense influential changes that have washed over me, I've also realised that, at the bottom of my heart, I remain and always shall remain- a writer. I cannot be separated from words. Whether it's good writing or bad is for others to decide. But writing cures me of EVERYTHING! :)
I'm glad at this delayed clarity of thought. Although many feel I've 'WASTED' 5 years, there have been nothing more fruitful than these! :)
Well, I've bored you enough. I promise to come back later and refresh you with something better and more sensible.
Till then,
Cheers from
The Dreamy Dryad :)

Photographs have these uncanny abilities to bring out a rush of grief into your eyes and a sting of memory!
Ah! How you wish certain things had never happened in life!
But then.. you learn! :)

MY LITTLE MARCH GIRL
`Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)
COME to the pane, draw the curtain apart,
There she is passing, the girl of my heart;
See where she walks like a queen in the street,
Weather-defying, calm, placid and sweet.
Tripping along with impetuous grace,
Joy of her life beaming out of her face,
Tresses all truant-like, curl upon curl,
Wind-blown and rosy, my little March girl.
Hint of the violet's delicate bloom,
Hint of the rose's pervading perfume!
How can the wind help from kissing her face,—
Wrapping her round in his stormy embrace?
But still serenely she laughs at his rout,
She is the victor who wins in the bout.
So may life's passions about her soul swirl,
Leaving it placid,—my little March girl.
What self-possession looks out of her eyes!
What are the wild winds, and what are the skies,
Frowning and glooming when, brimming with life,
Cometh the little maid ripe for the strife?
Ah! Wind, and bah! Wind, what might have you now?
What can you do with that innocent brow?
Blow, Wind, and grow, Wind, and eddy and swirl,
But bring to me, Wind,— my little March girl.

Chennai's blogsville is cooking up it's own delightful agenda!
An innovative coming-together of sorts is being organised for 3 November 2007 at 3:11 pm! Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, put the pause for a moment and click what's in front of you! Chennai-in its myriad moods and faces and resplendent colours will be captured through these pictures.
It is not a charity move! Neither it is a contest! It's just a thought,a moment to share with fellow residents of the city where you breathe,sleep,cry,laugh,jump!
One moment, we shall all be united in cause and Chennai shall fondly be remembered and transfixed in the camera screens!
For more information, read here.
