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…

Sometimes we can talk better with some people than the ones we should actually be talking to!! we share more, without even realizing it..It always amazes me the way we bond with some, way above the others and you cant help but wonder why? May be thats the question I always knew would remain unanswered...

Reading in the times of exams!!!

There is nothing noble about being superior to some other person. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self. All I'm really getting at is that if you want to improve your life and live with all that you deserve you must run your own race. It doesn't matter what other people say about you. What is important is what you say to yourself. Do not be concerned with the judgment of others as long as you know what you are doing is right. You can do whatever you want to do as long as it is correct according to your conscience and your heart. Never be ashamed of doing that which is right; decide on what you think is good and then stick to it. And for God's sake, never get into the petty habit of measuring your self-worth against other people's net worth.

'Every second you spend thinking about someone else's dreams you take time away from your own.'

The wait seems to be till eternity. There are times when there is no time to breathe and then again, there are times when breathing is the only constructive thing you have possibly done for hours on end.

You make resolutions to change all of it. And then you break them only to make a set of newer more improved ones. The cycle continues.

You wish. Wish that you could just magic your way out from such futile phases and dream on.

You PAKAU any body who is willing to listen and then when all your sources are exhausted you write a blog!!

And then you continue. Sleeping, Eating, breathing…Breathing, Eating, sleeping…Eating, Breathing, Sleeping…

Ahhh LIFE!!

At times someone’s goodness makes you feel so small, so self-centered, and almost bitchy. You try oh - so – hard, to put back a smile on a face that deserves it the most. But you are so helpless.

Well now that I am dedicating yet another blog to her and her antiques, I thought of giving her a lil name for our convenience - TOAD.. Yea that’s what we will call her from hereafter! (I know jo that there are contenders for this coveted title, but she just takes the cake).
Lil miss. TOAD was very very furious with my highly irresponsible behaviour and was expecting a neat apology. If it wasn’t for TOAD I would have definitely said a sorry, but then….it was her! And I am no saint.
So I just did not budge and that sent her in a wave of fury…it irked her no end…kick ass! Well that was the plan, wasn’t it???

P.S: Hey jo miss u soo verryyy much…u rock

Exasperation

Do relationships come with an expiry date? Does everything have to turn sour after a while? Do newer relations conquer the old ones?

It all starts with the regular “ NO TIME” excuse:( I’m busy is the constant reply… gradually all those moments, the laughter, the pain, the fights, the secrets…. they somehow seem so distant! As if it all existed in another era.. The worst comes, when you don’t even care to fight for it…for all that you are losing, you just give up…

Strangely it doesn’t hurt as you thought it would. It feels as if this was inevitable! You had always sensed it coming…the vacuum that settled in each of us.. The overpowering chill that takes the very life of our bond.

May be long after its over, we would one day wake up to the comprehension dawning on us of what we have lost. And its then when we would loose hope too…

If being straightforward is a crime then I surely commit it all the time..i don’t like pleasing people!! So that actually makes me very vulnerable in this fake world. The other day I was been insulted and humiliated just because I was being honest!!

We all must have written an essay during our school days “ The day everything went wrong ”..well its just that it happened with me but, unfortunately the day stretched a bit longer than usual!!

I don’t understand why some people want to be pleased all the time. May be they think they are way too important and intelligent…and these are the very people who should be able to tell the right from the wrong!! And when you don’t really suck up to them they accuse you of being over confident…

I don’t care what they think of me….its not going to stop me from being what I am – brutally honest!!

Long ago, I had heard a story of an old lady who lived all alone…one day while doing her routine work she loses her specs. She searches for them all over the place…in a little while it would be dark, and then it would be difficult for her to see anything at all. Frantically she tries all the nooks and corners of the house…but in vain! She must soon find it or else she would lose her way….

Just then, when she has given up..She sees herself in the mirror. A childish smile breaks on that wrinkled face…all the time that she was searching for the specs..They were nicely perched on her nose!!

Many a times, even we search for things that are right in front of us…they always were! But due to our ignorance we never realized their presence in our lives until we lose them…

Some geeks like me don’t even comprehend their absence until (although I missed it sometimes!) its right back in front of them. Its then, that it hits you that what you have been looking for was always around you…its we who look for it in all the wrong places! And once we realize this we too smile to ourselves like the old lady…

I just did!!

When life seems to be puurrfectly straight and simple, there has to be a very filmy almost bollywoodish turn to it...and then there are always two ways!!and you got to decide which way you want to go...

right now i just want to go straight... without having to make any of the choices!!or may be i have already made them in my mind but im still not sure...coz waiting till everything falls in place is veryy irritating at times....

im seriously growing impatient!!

Feeling blue!!

From the past few days my life has been erratic, confusing, monotonous.........and the worst part is that i am doing nothing to make it better. today was one of those days when you just dont feel like doing anything and feel irritable because you are not doing anything worthwhile...

im not a workoholic!!but i hate holidays espescially when they are too many!!its not that i dont know where life is headed..i know wat i want...strange..eh??but i duno wat to do to get there....i know im totally confused!!and may be dats y m writing random things...trying to get a direction - a perspective!!

Looking Ahead

Well 2007 is here and so am i!!i am back where i belong...amongst friends and having a blast..the past few months were trying times for me and my friends, what with busy schedules and battling the mumbai university...and to top it all exam getting postponed and a verryy deserving break - a trip to the north india brutally snatched from us by the fates!!

But 2007 has begun with hope and joy...well i dont really believe in resolutions barring a few like losing weight, getting placed with a good organization who pays me what i want, trying to see all possible movies before i get placed, having a blast wid friends b4 its tme to go our own ways, not to gossip, eat healthy and avoid junk....

er!!.....did i say no resolutions!!!can we help it!!

This year seems to be smattered with memorable moments , small joys and big smiles what with my two best friends getting engaged..me starting with job(hopefully!!....with the pace with which the placements seem to be going does not seem possible to me) and the release of harry potter and the deathly hallows(big grin)....well this reminds me of all d animated discussions with jo in the lec today which kept us from dozzing off...good movies, new places to eat...cherishing old friendships and discovering new ones..i think with a lil hard work and determination we can see this year thru..and so looks like there is a lot to look forward to this year..the eternal optimist that i am!!
