A walk in the woods...
Little Grand Canyon, located in the Shawnee National Forest, Southern Illinois is nothing like the Grand Canyon..u cant even compare them both......but its really beautiful in its own way. went there on this trail..took us close to 2.5 hs to walk and come back to the cars.but was really picteresque..and the rustle of the leaves below my feet...the sound of the wind blowin against the trees.....made me wanna sing...tu hawa hai..fiza hai...zameen ki nahin....chek out this space here for more...FALL COLORS....

read this somewhere...was really good..
I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they´re blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this - there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing
Will you be the one??
Just wrote this poem like two days back...drafted it...and well didnt redraft it ...was trying to write something jus like that since its been long that i wrote...and well this was the first time i completely wrote on MS word..no paper or stylus involved....
Will you be the one??
Will you be the one beside me
When I face my fears?
When am down and all blue
Will you be the one who wipes my tears?
Will you be the one holding my hand?
Leading my way, When am scared to walk
Will you be the one who really listens,
Without judging me, When I really want to talk?
When things are a mess,
Will you be the one hugging me tight?
Telling me, Dont you worry, it will be fine
Everything will be alright?
Will you be the one comforting me
When am in troubles deep?
Will you be the one who softly
Sings me to sleep?
Will you be the one who turns
All my frowns into smiles?
Will you be the one with me
When I am walking the whole mile?

Oh October!!
So many things happening this october. I dont think I wrote after the Earthquake in Pakistan, India,Afghanistan. India refused aid for the relief efforts frm the US...now thas another topic to debate. so many disasters happening in sequence, Katrina, Rita now this earthquake...the world is goin to the ruins.
Yahoo and MSN are doin something and you can share your contacts and some basic stuff, they have their limits as well. The main reason for this is they are trying to make a good deal of profit out of this and am sure its def gonna happen. Apple launched its new video ipod...man we're goin places....
They had the Dorpa sponsored race in Nevada, and i think Stanley won the race, not sure of it though, coz i didnt follow it up as I had to look into many other things.
tas it i guess..will post more later

finally!! and...Dress code???
Finally...i got my hands on the sixth book of the harry potter series...and man is the book so kewl or wat? Well i wont b disclosing the ending or wat happens in the book...but its too much...and
JK Rowling leaves u wanting for more...cant wait to get my hands on the next book...and finally end it all. But well i wud be honestly really sad to see the series end....The book is jus marvellous.i am really at a loss of words to describe the book..coz u shud read it to enjoy it. I really pity those who dont read Harry Potter...coz well..u r missin outta lot!! May b frm their point of view...am missin out a lot by readin...but well..I luv reading...and am gonna start reading DaVinci code yet again !
Ok i will shut up and say no more. this week's Sargam...(thas the show i host on WDBX carbondale) went on pretty well...though we were very disorganized the final outcome came out pretty well. we paid a kinda tribute to Mahatma Gandhi this sunday being Gandhi Jayanthi and all. played some really good songs.
There is a career fair in my university tomorrow and I personally think u need to be mentally prepared for the interview as well as look presentable. I think am jus gonna talk about how women should dress for the interview...personally i think skirts...formal skirts are in...they look more girlish...than a pant...but well yeah! the pants too look good..dont dress up too much....wear all nude shades and light, pastel shades of lipstick. If you spend too much time on make-up well u will end up trying to take care of it and miss out makin a good impression on ur potential employers....get ur hair really well done...u dont have to do some fancy hair do..jus pin up ur hair properly without loose strands if its long...may b jus put a clip and let it loose...see to it that ur hair is dandruff free if u r wearing a dark suit...always...a dark suit..navy blue, black, (plain or pinstripes!) makes u look really professional. of course dont go by what i say...i am jus writing abut wat i think and wat i really like to wear. Well this is the first time i am pic bloggin on myscribblingpad. i have actually run outta ideas...now i know where to get inspiration frm...everyday life!! so expect more pic blogs here and on picme! enuf of rambling lets get back to the topic. A good coiffeur will do a lot to ur hair...and once in a while its ok to spend some dollars! avoid too much jewelry. it will do u no good. in short dont be a mess.
interestingly in a magazine called fashion rocks, i read that there is some organization called dressforsuccess.com who loan ppl suits for their interview and also lend them formal wear whn they get a job, isnt that kewl?? wear nice pointed shoes, or pumps. Black footwear always looks elegant. that is the only color that never loses its charm. A good perfume, that doesnt announce that u r there, even b4 u r 4 miles away works well. put on some deo. chew some mint or gum b4 u meet ur interviews and remember to spit it out.
am not a good person to get advice frm if u r dressin up fora formal interview..coz i say all the things everyone else says. but to add a personal touch...i would jus like to say this...Dress in something u r really comfortable in. dont wear something jus becuz it looks good...the question is do u feel good in it. coz the long waitin hrs may make u sweat and wanna breathe..if u try to fit into that age old suit that u had!
a tip i learnt frm the movie hitch, wash ur hands in warm water b4 u go meet them. coz this will ensure a real warm handshake.!! may b !! who knows..i have never tried that out...but well no harm in tryin it. Dont be nervous, and if ur palm sweats when u are nervous make sure u hve some kinda powder to counter that, but make sure u dont get it too greasy or too powdery!!
yup yup too much to take care if u r a lady!! but well thats fun aint it???
