Losing sense of humour
One of my greatest fear is that if i ever lost my sense of humour. 
I think and think will it ever be possible. Sometimes people see the scariest things in their life and nothing scares them anymore. Likewise, if I ever see the funniest thing in my life, will it be possible that I blew my funny fuse? My sense of humour overloaded and nothing else seems to be funny anymore.
I googled and googled. Here’s one answer I’ve found to know if we have lost our sense of humor:
1. When we can’t take a joke on ourselves. You’ve heard it said, “Laugh and world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone.” I’m not saying that it is always right, but to a great degree it’s true.
2. When others’ sense of humor gets “on our nerves.” Don’t let this happen. The world has a name for you: “party-pooper”.
3. When we stop looking for funny incidents in life. I call this operation – lemonade. When life hands me lemons I attempt to juice them, water it down, add the sugar of laughter and produce some delicious lemonade. Try to find something to laugh about this week, and see if it doesn’t go better.
And here’s one blogger who said “I’ve lost my sense of humour”.
Somewhere over the weekend I lost my sense of humor. I wasn’t expecting to lose it and was caught off guard when I did. I had it on Saturday night while wearing Kyla’s ruby red slippers. I was feeling pretty good Sunday morning when Joe and I went for a walk.
Sometimes it seems that the better I feel, the harder I can be knocked down. Was it a remark I took too seriously? Some feedback I didn’t want to hear? Will I stuff my bad feelings in with the rest of my emotional baggage, or will my bad feelings just wear off in time? If I bury them, won’t they take root and sprout up at some other time? Can I just change my mind and not feel them anymore? Where do bad feelings go?
Driving to town Monday morning, on my way to play Scrabble with Mara, I spotted a single burnt-orange couch cushion lying in the middle of the road. I didn’t smile at the unlikely sight or stop to take a picture, as I normally would. Instead, the out-of-place sad cushion reminded me how out-of-place I felt. It was then that I knew I had lost my sense of humor. It was then that I wanted it back.
Hmmm….. it can really happen!! Some people said if you lost your sense of humour, look inside the closet behind the vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaner?? I thought it had already gone down the drain.
And recently i found this somewhere “Although researchers have long known that a good sense of humor has many healthy benefits, relatively little is known about how humor is handled by the brain. Thanks to new imaging techniques (MRI), researchers are now learning more about how the brain processes humor and may one day be able to help people who have lost their sense of humor due to depression or other psychological disorders.”
i love jokes, i love to pull other’s legs, i like to play the evilish way 
always, specially behind the curtain (read net). ahh… its really getting long here. cyaoooo

THE KITE RUNNER - In the 70's in Afghanistan, the Pushtun boy Amir and the Hazara boy Hassan, who is his loyal friend and son of their Hazara servant Ali, are raised together in Amir's father house, playing and kitting on the streets of a peaceful Kabul. Amir feels that his wise and good father Baba blames him for the death of his mother in the delivery, and also that his father loves and prefers Hassam to him. In return, Amir feels a great respect for his father's best friend Rahim Khan, who supports his intention to become a writer. After Amir winning a competition of kitting, Hassam runs to bring a kite to Amir, but he is beaten and raped by the brutal Assef in an empty street to protect Amir's kite; the coward Amir witness the assault but does not help the loyal Hassam. On the day after his birthday party, Amir hides his new watch in Hassam's bed to frame the boy as a thief and force his father to fire Ali, releasing his conscience from recalling his cowardice and betrayal. In 1979, the Russians invade Afghanistan and Baba and Amir escape to Pakistan. In 1988, they have a simple life in Fremont, California, when Amir graduates in a public college for the pride and joy of Baba. Later Amir meets his countrywoman Soraya and they get married. In 2000, after the death of Baba, Amir is a famous novelist and receives a phone call from the terminal Rahim Khan, who discloses secrets about his family, forcing Amir to return to Peshawar, in Pakistan, in a journey of redemption.
2. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE - The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.

Driven by destiny, the unlikely band of warriors must battle saber-toothed cats and terror birds in the Levant.
5. MAMMA MIA! - Set on a colorful Greek island, the plot serves as a background for a wealth of great ABBA songs which are used in remarkably appropriate ways.

We really dont know if Agent Barnes is up to the challenge of protecting the President. Shortly after President Ashton is escorted to the stage in the plaza by the Secret Service, he is shot twice by a rifle from a window and falls to the floor.

2009 here I come!
Last year was a wretchedly unhappy, uncomfortable year and to put it short 'miserable'. It's 2 in the morning and a new day of January 3rd is waiting. I hope its getting better. Last year, on a day like this I was at home all day, got nothing to do and had my cousin sister straighten my hair :-). At dusk two of my friends, RSa and Opa (to be precise) come unexpectedly. We chit chat a little while and asked them to join us for dinner. Then we headed straight to Chd's place after that. Late at night we went back home and the four of us stay together for the night. And the next day, we visited our old school.
Ok, the main reason why I wrote the above lines is that things are going so fast. I still remember every bit of this and that happening that night. It’s been a year past already and seems it just happened a minute ago. Counting from today and exactly one week from now i.e Jan 9th was the last day I see my pop (may his soul RIP).
Things were going so fine and the next thing I knew in June, my dad's gone…….. I don't want to go any word longer here.
After that, just 4 months after a friend Joseph died in a motorcycle accident. I knew him from the day I first went to Delhi. He was waiting for us at the airport with David (my friend's cuz). Joseph was a stranger to me back then, but he is kinda funny, fat and love jokes so much. He carried my big suitcase and I still remember him having it on the lap at the front seat, congested and can’t even reach for his phone. After we reach their place, we had conversations and he shared his funny experiences. After much laugh we sleep.
I get to know him better day by day. He had a big heart and understanding mind. He looks us as younger brothers, though he loves toys and computer games much more than we do. He likes cooking and he’s a good cook. Everything was new for us and loves explaining them things.
He was also a motorcycle freak and he loves it a lot. When he had his new ‘animal’ (that’s what he call it), he came to our place with some game dvds and that’s the last time we see him. He never come back to collect his dvds, but then he answered his callings sooner than we can imagine. He’s a great fan of Dream Theater; we use to talk about them a lot. He said, “I cried once when I was going home from Darjeeling listening to DT all the way to Guwahati.” Well, Joseph this is for you…
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond?
What lay before?
Is anything certain in life?
They say, Life is too short,
The here and the now,
And you're only given one shot,
Could there be more?
If I lived before?
Or could this be all that we've got?
If I die tomorrow,
If I die tomorrow,
I'd be alright because I believe,
That after we're gone,
The spirit carries on.
The mean year doesn’t stop here. It’s almost the end of the year and we are all looking forward to the coming Christmas. One fine morning on November, my mom called me and told me that my cousin died. I was so shocked and I was speechless. Mom dropped the phone telling me she’ll call back in the afternoon.
Yes, a cousin and a great friend Joseph Lalrammawia pass away leaving his wife and 3 little kids. I remember the Euro 2008 nights; the two of us use to watch together. We bet money on the teams and we were like the happiest friends to watch Euro.
We use to have late night-talks and always motivated me for what I’m doing and ask me lot about computers. He was a great rock music fan. He asked me once if I listen to Pink Floyd. Yes, some of them. “If you ever listen to Pink Floyd, listen it when you are alone. Their lyrics are so psychedelic and never do drugs while listening. Drink, if you want.”
Needless to mention, my first ever guitar was a secondhand from him. It was an old 90s Hobner with rusted strings. Hand-made saddle and got a hole on the back. I was very happy but didn’t know how to play it.
I still remember 2004 Christmas Eve, when we both took cameras out and we snap pictures at Coffee Nite. After then we went back to his room and drink Apple Wine together. What a night to remember, calling my parents that I was with him and no need to worry about. And I didn’t know how all the pictures that we took was nowhere to be seen.
We use to play videogames together a lot; he was in college and I was in elementary. “Guard the hero and I will move forward” was the strategy we use to apply when playing Battle tanks. I always guard the hero.
I miss him so much. Rest In Peace.
Well, the cruel rude year just gone by. I hope this year will be a blessing, may nothing bad happens this year. Confidently… 2009 here I come.
