Such a small small world..

"A" and "B" were classmates in college X in city H, but never talked or got in touch. A was good friends with C who was good friends with B who got A and B into contact. A was good at B's mother tongue in a place where it was seldom spoken, so A and B had great time speaking in B's mother tongue and had great many conversations.
After a while, A and B got busier with their own lives and din't stay in touch.

After 2 years...

A shifted to city W, joined another college Y, made new friends.
A became friends with D and E who were classmates even before joining Y. D and E were classmates of F before joining Y. D and E tell F everything about A and no F has never met A but has just seen A's pics on FB. Needless to say, D, E and F are girls.

So, F joins a course in H. And B (remember?) happens to have taken up the same course too. So, F and B become friends and get talking. F happens to mention that she hails from city W and that instantly rings a bell in B's mind and she enquires if she happens to know A. And bingo! F actually knows A, although not literally, but she knows A through her friends D and E.

Such a small small world!!

Needless to say, am "A"! :D

March 2013

Whattay month it has been!

Finished up my 1st Sem exams in February. Started March with a vacation. Went to Saputara, a hill station near Surat, Gujarat with 17 cousins altogether. Later, got myself busy with the management meet Cynosure 2013 organised by our college. And post that, got busy with organising farewell to our seniors. All in a month’s time.

But, the main highlights of March 2013 would be 2 emails from 2 different authors.
One, from Sangeeta Bhargava from UK, London. The author of “Letters to my Baby” and “The World Beyond” had just published her 3rd novel, After The Storm. And she asked me if I’d be interested in reviewing the novel. Of course, I was and she immediately sent me a copy of her novel.  Which I received on 31st of March, 2013.
Second email was from Kiran Vijayan whose first novel “Offside” had just released. He too asked me the same thing and I immediately agreed. He sent me the novel and although I received his email later, I received his mail first. Got his mail on 27th March, 2013. That’s why the review of his novel was up before that of ATS.
2 author signed copies in a month! Woohoo! Was and am still on cloud 9! 

And March 2013 had also been a good month for blogging because I managed to write as many as 6 posts in the month!

The first post, on 3rd march, was Break up, another post in the category of relationships and thanks to my friend who asked me a wonderful question that got me thinking. “What would you think of a guy who just had a break up without any fight?” was the question. Also, asked the same question to a couple of my other friends and their views have been incorporated in the post too.

Second post, on march 14th, again was under the category of relationships. I will get over you,  which was more of a continuation or a reply to “I miss you, Hell I still love you…!” It’s not true love if it doesn’t hurt..!

Third post, on March 16th, was the first ever Free Giveaway on my blog. Giveaway of 10 BigFlix movie coupons. I still have a few. If you want, do ping me! The coupons are valid upto 30th April, 2013, so hurry!

Fourth post, on 21st March, was again under the category of relationships. This post was kinda cute in itself. Titled Love at first meet  it was about the conversation between a couple who had been made to meet each other by their families. Yeah, arranged marriage. Turned out pretty well.

Fifth post, on March 26th, was again under the category of relationships. Definitions of love by a besotted lover has so many definitions of love. Totally inspired from one of the conversations that I was having with a friend. She asked me about my opinion on love and what I actually thought about love. That conversation resulted in this post. 

And the final post of the month, not under relationships this time, but a review!
The review of the novel Offside by Kiran Vijayan that was sent by the author himself!

That marks the end of March 2013! 

2013 so far..

Ah, things have been terribly busy.. 2013 has been a roller coaster ride so far.. Post graduation studies, exams, so much to do and so little time.. Endless movies, hanging out with friends, college life.. It’s all taking a toll.. Am so dead tired by the time I return home that I rarely get the time to write or even read..

which explains the dearth of posts this year.. There haven’t been many..

the very first post this year was on the topic, that my blog actually is made up of, relationships - a simple post, a conversation between a guy and a girl, a simple non-personal conversation leading to a tuffle between the two.. and how straight forwardness of the guy ends up hurting the girl.. side effects of love

Oh, it’s February already!!
Yeah, could manage only one post in january 

The second and third posts have been on the subject creativity and these are compiled by one of my lecturers.. Convergent and Divergent thinking and Personal barriers to creativity.

Again, returning to my forte, relationships, the continuation of the most successful series on my blog The “Love is cute” series.. a cute and romantic post, Love is cute – 4, about a young and mischevious couple and their cute cute antic talks. No love is complete without a little jealousy.

The last post for February, category relationships, Bitter Sweet conversations. Maintaining long distance relationships is no mean task. No, really. Especially with the girls. They make mountains out of moles, you know. Just an instance where it happens. A third person becomes the subject of conversation which leads to a small disheartening of the girl. But then, all’s well that end’s well!

So, that’s it for now.. january and February 2013!

Adios Amigos!

my own website!

Hello all!
I am visibly and understandably very very very excited!
Finally managed to build my own website. Was tough, had to deal with stupid set-ups which were nothing less than greek and latin to me, but was fun, altogether.
Now, I have a basic website on my own name, i.e., www.jigar-doshi.com and this begins a new journey with loads of new experiences and memories. :)

Do visit, do share, do ask your friends to do the same!
Thanks in advance! :)

Cheers! :)

November 2012

Ah, the November 2012 has been a very productive one altogether.
Wrote 2 articles in the category of relationships, which has been my forte for a while now. Also wrote a movie review. And, here comes the surprise, ventured into 2 new categories. One is politics and the other, creativity. Of-course the topic of creativity is something that is not written by me. But, politics is. And it's fun actually to write on politics.
And to be frank, there are more readers for posts on politics than those in relationships.
Also, blog has been reaching new heights in the rankings of alexa and indiblogger. Have been showing up in the very first page of google searches too :D (I know, I know, am boasting. But, yeah, it's fun to boast every once in a while. More like a ego massage.)

November 3 - Don't know why people fall in love.. I am never falling in love...! - A discussion between 2 friends, a boy and a girl, one ridiculing the stupid things that people do when in love, and other talking about all the good things that happen in life when being in love.

November 17 - I will never ever forgive you...! - A painful, tragic and one-sided conversation of a forlorn lover, talking to his love, who has left him behind and went far far away.

November 21 - The so called free-speech - Ah, so a politician passes away and his followers cause havoc and mayhem and the first post in the category of relationships takes it's birth on my blog.

November 26 - Life of pi - movie review - Ang Lee's beautiful adaptation and handling of intense scenes, beautiful cinematic pleasure and awesome lush creative-visuals, and much more was the movie Life of Pi. A must-watch! :)

November 28 - 32 traits of creative people - the first post in the category of creativity, work compiled and done by one of my lecturers. more information on it's way once or twice a week.

November 29 - An open letter to Prime Minister - An initiative by The viewspaper saw me writing to PM of India and giving certain advises and suggestions in the field of development of India.

So, there ends a beautiful and fruitful month. And begins a new one. Hopefully will come up with posts worth reading and as often as I would love to write and read. :)

Adios!

you and your memories engulf me no matter where I am or what I am doing. Every single thing I do reminds me of you in one or the other way.
Went for shopping and was immediately transported back to the time when we used to go shopping together.. went to a movie and immediately started relating ourselves to the protagonists, just like we used to do with every movie we watched.. went to hotel for dinner and started remembering how we used to eat together in a single plate.. Was driving back home and started thinking about all the times I picked you from your place and dropped you at your place and all the fun we had on roads.. Saw a couple and immediately your picture came in mind and I said to myself, once upon a time we used to hang out together too.. went to bed and immediately checked my cell with a hope that you must have called or left me a text.. I know that's totally stupid of me to do so, especially after so long a time, but.............

though we aren't together anymore, you always accompany me every single place I go..
life..............is a bitch!

Past and future only exist in our mind. The present moment, though, is outside of time, it's Eternity. In India, they use the word 'karma' for lack of any better term. But it's a concept rarely given proper explanation. It isn't what you did in the past that will affect the present. It's what you do in the present that will redeem your past and there by change the future.

3000 pageviews!

Well, it seems that I am maintaining good readership on my other blog. Not great, but, good. Touched 1000 pageviews on September 14 and 2000 pageviews on October 16. And yesterday, on November 22, my other blog crossed a total of 3000 pageviews!

And the post which I published yesterday was, "The so called free speech" where for the first time I wrote about politics on my blog. The arrest of Shaheen for a status update on the bandh on the day of the death of Bal T. started a chain of thoughts which I promptly penned down!

Dog's action inspired a chain-of-thoughts :)

Today, I saw a dog chasing a lady dog (bit**) on a main road. The female seem to be running and the male was pursuing and biting as and when he got a chance. The funniest thing was, the female was just playing around. She was running not because she didn't want 'it' but because she derived more pleasure in making him run for 'it' than he getting 'it' easily.
For once, it reminded me of PDA and I felt pity for them that they couldn't get a room.

On second thoughts, I concluded something. I am never pursuing someone. NEVER!
Someone wants me to run back of them, they are bound to be disappointed. Even if I terribly want to be with them, I am not going to force them or pursue them.

Whatever the reason, whether they want me to pursue them just for their 'psychotic pleasure' or they want me to pursue them to show that I really really want them, I don't care. Someone who wants me in their life is never going to make me run back of them.
Or if they say that they will accept me in their lives only when I pursue them, then......... 'Good-bye!'

Seems a silly and passing thought at first, but on the second thoughts, it is actually my basic principle of life. It also is my 'direct message' or an 'open letter' to all those friends who ceased to be my friends just because they expected me to pursue them.

Bon Jour! :) [Have a good day!]

P.S - Did you read my latest post? "Don't know why people fall in love? I'm never following in love...!" If yes and if you liked it, share it with your friends. If no, then what are you waiting for? Go, read now! :)
