A little drop of randomness

Image
I came down with a cold today,and it feels horrible!!This is the only thing I hate about winter.Otherwise everything seems just perfect about winter..This year we're having this rare winter rain which it makes the city all the more beautiful and picturesque... I love rain,specially to look up when it rains and feel the drops on my face.....But most of the people I know hate winter rain as they find it irritating.. Winter brings back so many childhood memories.....I remember the cold winter mornings when i used to go for morning walks regularly with my dad and have a hot cup of tea in a road side tea stall while returning...On those winter mornings when I used to see my breath when I exhale and dance around with joy for it...Wear my grandpa's monkey cap and have picnics in my garden...Winter means sweaters,socks,jackets and boots and so much more..This year winter has made me all the more lazier,it seems as if I'm going through hibernation!!! This is the season when a late r

Memories fade into farewell

Today our seniors of class 12 had their farewell and I realized that mine is on it's way too..As usual I had a blast with my friends..But in all this fun someone was missing..Someone who thought she'd rather be somewhere else than with us..But it's fine as if she is happy that's all that matters for us and I don't want to judge her in anyway. I remember when we had our farewell in class X people in our class were crying their eyes out while we were all celebrating..!! Riko, Gary ,meow and me we are really fond of tea so on the last day of class X we broke some school rules and had a small tea party in school.Riko brought a flask full of tea which we poured into glasses and after toasting to our friendship we gulped the hot tea burning our throats!!That day, 9th November 2009 we all realized that things are soon going to change,after that day we would have our 3 months study leave for boards.That day was one crazy day filled with group hugs and taking photographs of

For all those times

Today is like one of those days when i want to be left alone..So i decided to get back at my blog..I just had a fight sometime back with a friend Pritz who was perhaps one of my oldest acquaintances in school..We always had differences of opinions which is quite common as you can't expect people to be alike but we've never stopped talking for so long...Sometimes i wonder was just a small fight enough to break our friendship?Was our friendship that shallow?? I guess times change and so do people.. Sometimes in Life you really want to be left alone and thats when people don't give you that space but when you really want someone's support you don't find them.. Why is it that people who started on a "no sorry", no thank you" note and reached the forever stage end everything on a bitter note? Why is it that a person who you thought understands you on bigger issues,misunderstands you on a small matter and the friendship ends..But People forget that life is

Albert Einstein most profoundly said "How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose we know not, though sometimes sense it. But we know from daily life that we exist for other people, first of all for whose smiles and well- being our own happiness depends." .. This quote quote has always made me reflective on my life and the people for whom I exist.... Life does seems worth living when I see a smile on the face of my mother ...Sometimes when we are distressed and in a pensive mood a reassuring smile does make us feel light..And sometimes there are people in your life who are really affected by your grief and they help you overcome it or stand by you during that difficult time..They maybe your parents,or your grand parents,your friends,maybe your sibling,or the person you love..Those people are really special,not because they love you but because you are a significant part of there lives..They are not only there in times of

And I still wonder.....

" Love" it's one of those rare topics which makes a person like me at a loss of words.Reading has always been my stress buster but romantic books always make an exception.. I don't know why but I don't understand the concept of love at first sight and even breakup.. I don't understand the instant relationships which people of our generation get into and the instant breakups which follow.. I am not totally skeptical about love,I do believe in love but the kind of love my parents have for each other... I don't know much about love but sometimes maybe it would be nice to have someone who would want to listen to me, someone for whom my opinion would really matter or who would look into my eyes and tell me 'I do care.'.. And the slow walker that I am,someone with whom I would not have to catch up..Someone who's not tired of listening ,who believes in me,my principles,my dreams. To be precise,someone whom I truly respect and who gives me the

Old hindi songs..

I love listening to songs and I have this tremendous love for old songs.. Some songs just touch your soul and linger in your mind like forever...Sometimes i wish someone would sing these songs for me..I know that sounds so cheesy but that's so on my wishlist to have someone sing these songs to me..! I remember Megz and i used to sing and do stupid actions on the song "diye jalte hai" just to irritate Pritzy..But seriously these songs are like an important part of my life..Be it Bade ache lagte hai from Balika Badhu , Abhi na jao chor kar from Mausam or huzur is quadar bhi na itra ke chaliye from Masoom i can hear these songs zillions of times and still be as much in love.... I wish i could sing not that i dont but i mean sing decently..! Anyway I'm going to have my selections so I will away from my blog for a while..I will be back soon..Will miss blogging really very much.. So I hope you all enjoy the pleasant weather outside and take some time out of your regular liv

Time "Well" wasted..

Sometimes i wonder how people can manage to live such routined lives..My exams are going on and a month back i realized that except me everyone has completed nearly the full portion..But instead of feeling tensed or edgy i was quite cool about it!! So today after giving a disastrous Biology exam and screwing up my Physics paper the day before..I decided to spend today's day in leisure and do whatever i feel like,in short i wanted to waste this day!!!So here i am wasting time on the 1st day of my study leave for my most hated Hindi exam!!! There are times in life when you feel like taking a day off from your life and do what you've never done or maybe do what you like the most..For me the best way to spend my time is reading a book by the side of the window with a cup of coffee..Sometimes i feel like getting up at 12 in the afternoon when i'm tired of sleeping or spend the whole day in a library,or go for a long walk alone...But i remember post my board exams when i had 3 mo

Autumn

Image
I love the autumn season specially the thought that the leaves turn into a bright red color..I had come across an article recently that the best places to see autumn colors are New Zealand,England and Central Otago.I so wish I could spend every autumn of my life at such a place where fall leaves turn bright red.... I am not much of a romantic person but the thought of walking together through piles of crisp autumn leaves sounds so perfect.... I have always been immensely fascinated by the leaves of fall which change their color to red because of maturity... We too have many such instances in life when we feel mature..Just like the first time we go out for a movie with friends or the first time we are given some responsibility or the moment when you know you could have said a lot of things in rage but you control yourself....Maturity shouldnot be mistaken with age.. Maturity is not the absence of childishness but it is the presence of knowledge,it is the ability to learn from your past

Living on the edge

“" Life can be like a roller coaster... And just when you think you've had enough, and your ready to get off the ride and take the calm, easy merry-go round... You change your mind, throw you hands in the air and ride the roller coaster all over again. That's exhilaration...that's living a bit on the edge...that's being ALIVE." This is my Quote of the month!!

Shadows of Time

Life is strange.... I never anticipated even in my wildest dreams that I would be able to attain the marks as to get Science but i surprisingly did...I was always one of the no-nuisance day dreamers in school,known in class for my strong opinions.I was never really serious about life,I was actually never serious about anything..But gradually my whole perspective about life changed,in every way possible...I used to be really impulsive and emotional as a child..But some circumstances in life change the very existence of your life..I always used to be my grandpa's little girl.I called him Dada and he called me Ma..... I remember holding his strong hand tightly with my little fingers while crossing the road and stopping near the sweet shop which was his favourite spot..Though he was advised by the doctor to have not more than one sweet a day whenever i returned from school i used to see him secretly gorging on Rasgullas..I can never forget those endless walks to the library with him an

Two of a kind

Ju.......my little sweet sister who prefers to avoid sad movies or songs because it makes her sad and likes her clothes to be scattered around the room because it's easier to find them that way,who sits and cries seeing some other person in pain who loves churni(one of our 6 baby dogs or rather one of our 6 babies cause she doesn't consider them as dogs) more than me..she's one person who will shout at you for no reason and then make silly faces and act like a kid to make you laugh and make cards with smiley faces saying sorry...i can write a book on her but I'd rather utilize this space to write about the lovely relationship that we share...Every alternate day no matter how busy we are and what exam we have it is compulsory to have those never ending chit chat sessions,and our short walks to the long distance phuchka shop,and our memorable fight where I acted as if i'll hit her with the chair and she faked as if she'll hit me with the table and when we wer

Just As long as we are together

This is a poem i had written when i was in the 6th standard and our group nearly broke.....I admit This poem has lots of flaws and abstractions but for me this poem really means a lot..... I remember the time we were standing with our faces to the sun.. Picturing our times to come Many a clouds have passed by since we stood under the same sky Talking in the summer sights.. Howling at the city lights I still remember the time that passed.. Pulling pranks just for fun Summer vacations were such a blast the kind of memories that will always last.. Growing up in future seemed such a thing We thought we knew what it would bring.. The stars seemed so clear from our domain.. I sure could handle some of those good times again.. Even if our dreams still seem far away.. Our friendship is always here to stay.. Until we are all gone.. The roads between us will never be too long...... I have been putting this off for quite sometime now, thinking I’d write this post “later” but I figured there is no

The Begining

I turned 16 this year..!!!I always eagerly waited for my 16th b'day but when the day finally came that spirit diminished.....It was then that I tried to figure out what has changed in these years..There have been a lot of changes in my life since the last year..But more than anything else i have changed..I am still the old opinionated,outspoken,practical and rude person i used to be, but its just that my outlook towards life has changed.This blog is a memory of my triumphs and also my defeats,all my speculations and also my abstention,all my doubts and also their lucidities... This blog is dedicated to all the hard times i faced in this one year and the harder ones ahead of me.... I think the word that describes me best is simple.Maybe because i don't belong to the so called 'cool' brigade' where people fake an accent or have a yuppie attitude.People who are not acquainted with me think i'm serious or quiet but my friends wish i was!!I remember during my Parent
