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! :)

october 2012 - 5 posts.

It has been a good month for writing so far. have written 3 reviews. 2 movie reviews and one novel review.
also have written one personal post and one post pertaining to relationships.

The 5 posts are:

First, a personal post, where I was answering certain questions regarding blogging such as when, why and how did I start blogging and all. Titled as Interview..

Second, a review of the novel, "Angel Of The Dark" penned by Tilly Bagshawe on the lines of Sidney Sheldon. A gripping tale of murders and investigations and unexpected twists.

Third was the review of a movie. The movie named Bothers which was Telugu adaptation of the Tamil movie Maattraan, starring Surya and Kajal Aggarwal.

Fourth was the post in the category that my blog symbolises, relationships. A fictional post of the history of a woman and why she wasn't an extrovert and why she hated men! Tentatively titled I hate you...!

Fifth was again a movie review. My take of the movie, Student Of The Year starring 3 new comers and directed by Karan Johar.

Read and share on your social networks! ;)

2000 pageviews.

Hello world!
Last I updated this blog on 2nd october on the eve of Gandhi Jayanti and today on 16th october I write again to announce that my wordpress blog, musings of jigar, has just crossed 2000 pageviews!
I would like to remind that on 24th sept I wrote a post to announce that my other blog had reached 1000 pageviews (it took me nearly 2 months for that) and now, in about 22 days, I have got another 1000 pageviews!

Funnily, I've written only 3 posts in the month of October so far, of which 2 posts have been in the reviews category and another post in the personal category.

Okay, enough of my bragging now. Just go visit my blog on wordpress!
Also, share it with your friends and ask them to share with their friends too!! :D

Thanks in advance! ;)

Gandhiji.

Dear fellow, I respect your opinions and I even understand your hatred for the man. May be he had committed some sacrifices that weren't necessary, may be everything he did didn't turn out to be for the betterment of India and may be India would have been a different nation today if not for some of his principles, but you can't deny the fact that he was solely responsible for the independence that we enjoy today.

Whatever it is, I still respect Gandhiji for what he has done for India. Hats off! :)

september 2012

yo, here ends the month of september! whattay wonderful month it had been.
for the first time in my 2 years of blogging, i reached the double figures of posts in a single month. yeah, i posted 10 posts in the month of september alone.
not only that, for the first time, I wrote articles pertaining to all three categories that define my blog viz., relationships, reviews, grandma tales., in the same month. 2 reviews, 3 posts on relationships, a grandma tale and a satirical/humorous post and 3 personal/random/unusual musings.

Whenever my dearest relatives need a help, they expect me to leave all my works at once and make their work my biggest priority.
And whenever I need their help, which is very rare, they not only procrastinate it but mostly don't do it at all.
Yet, I got to be good to them, talk to them, call them, text them, smile at them and think highly of them.
Why?
Cos they're fucking family!!

Gosh! What the hell is wrong with this wordpress in India and Telecom Ministry.
It doesn't allow me to edit a published post and gives a "The URL you requested has been blocked as per instructions from Department of Telecom(CHNN). URL = jigardoshi91.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?_wpnonce=a7d552d9e6&"
Bloody! it's a published post already. What is there to block in this post is seriously beyond me!

1000 pageviews!

Phew! What fun the last 2 months have been!
The last post that I wrote on this blog was on 29th July. And have written 11 posts since on my other blog, Musings of Jigar, on wordpress.
Today, my new blog, crossed 1000 pageviews! Yayy, am so elated!
It was great fun to start from the scratch all over again and make my mark - though small like a drop in the ocean, a mark nevertheless - in the blogging world.

Here are the monthly archives on my other blog, September (8) and August (3).

Do visit, read, share, like, tweet, digg, reddit, stumbleupon, addthis etc. Thanks in advance! :D
