Reckless

The mind keeps wandering in the realms of "What if's". It keeps going back in time. It's really miserable not staying in the present. Not appreciating fully what you have.

****

Disappointed

Sometimes the realities are quite alarming. They shake you out of the slumber with a jolt. You grow out of the myths. You grow up, finally facing the task at hand. One at a time.

****

Jaded

The uphill path seems to seize all you have. The pebbles on the way are fashioned to pull you down, hurting you in the process. There is no support. It's your journey. Your's alone!

Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be
Here I am - it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day - it's a new plan
I've been waiting for you

Here we are - we've just begun
And after all this time - our time has come
Ya here we are - still goin' strong
Right here in the place where we belong

Here I am - next to you
And suddenly the world is all brand new
Here I am - where I'm gonna stay
Now there's nothin standin in our way
Here I am - this is me

So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA.

It's like you're always stuck in second gear,

Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me.

Seems like you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me.

Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with,

Someone I'll always laugh with, even at my worst, I'm best with you.

But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

-- Robert Frost

Over time I have learnt….


To trust my intuitions more than someone else’s beliefs
That self pity will take me nowhere
Time once gone doesn’t come back – so live in the moment
Love is indeed, the most powerful thing
That only I can help myself, nobody else
Forgiving is easier than forgetting
Expecting too much from anyone, even a loved one, is stupid
Making the best out of what we have is better for a peaceful survival
And lastly, a dessert always does the trick:)

After writing the previous blog, I thought whether only talking made any relation complete. Yea surely communication is extremely essential. Who better than me to describe the wonders of talking – the chatterbox!!

But then, I also thought of those innumerable instances when we are just too soaked in the beauty or rather the simplicity of the moment. Those times, when just being with someone is precious enough to be cherished. Those moments when words don’t really play any role…


A walk in the rain on the sea side.
Silently sharing your Sunday morning tea while reading the newspaper.
The weekly routine of head massage (mama’s special).
Sincerely studying with your best friend at 2.00 am in the morning.
Watching back to back romantic comedies ( discussions prohibited)
Watching the sunrise or sunset.
Having an ice-cream on a very chilly evening while watching Mumbai’s skyline disappear in darkness.
Wanting to sit besides your friend in lectures so that both can dream your way to glory.
An unexpected hug when it’s most needed.


These are some of the most “silently beautiful” moments I would treasure for the rest of my life…
