Nostalgia Engulfed...

I recently finished watching all the four episodes of the extensively hyped show Satyamev Jayate up until now. Apparently, in our country, the truth is only appreciated if it comes from a well known celebrity. I do not intend to demean what Mr. Khan is doing because despite all the criticism from the sick sections that he has outed the truth about, the show continues to be what it is - an honest effort at revealing the truth of this nation we are very proud of, and in every way possible, trying to curb all the unforgivable evil that has been going on around here. What our beloved "Idiot" is doing here is definitely appreciable but at the same time, it also brings out one sad truth unintentionally. In this country of ours, even if every citizen is aware of what they should and shouldn't do, what they should and shouldn't tolerate, it takes us a famous person to realise it. Be it Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare, who tried taking a stand against corruption or be it the...

Strangers can become best friends, just as fast as best friends can become strangers.. Everytime I see you now, when I see how we cross each other by as strangers, I am reminded of how it was before and how much can things change. Sometimes, I almost break down, I cannot look you in the eyes, that's for sure. Sometimes I wonder how hard would it be to just stop, stop and stand right there in front of you. Take a few steps, smile, and pull your cheeks, then wait for that irritated expression. But before I let go of what is holding me back, I'm reminded of why it is so. I'm reminded of why we are what we are now - strangers. I cannot just walk up to you and start talking, because we're not best friends anymore, we're two people who used to know each other and are now just unfortunately stuck in the same place. I wish one day you realise exactly what you did, I wish one day Karma slaps you right in the face.

There's this song by Taylor Swift, its called "The Best Day". This song means a lot to me because when you're living miles away from your family, such songs sometimes bring out the best in you, although they also tend to make you all nostalgic. This is another one of Swift's songs I can relate very much to, and I've been meaning to share what all goes in my mind when I hear this track. Thought today would be the appropriate day. HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY! :) I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now, the sky is gold I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way back home These lines take me back to when I was five, sweet times. I'm reminded of all those pictures we have in our family album where I'm smiling along with my mum. I wasn't a mischievous kid like most others that lived in our loc...

I'm supposed to be studying for this exam tomorrow and as usual, I don't feel like it. So I thought I'd take a break from surfing Tumblr for Delena images and write for a change. Then again, I often don't have anything to write on when I put my mind to it. Therefore scribbling an abstract. :/ The first thing I notice about anyone I meet is their eyes. And I love blue eyes. And chocolate brown. :P So anyway, here goes.. I saw you standing at a distance and recognised you from your eyes, the way they crinkle up when you smile. If there's one thing about you I'd never like to change, it would be your eyes. One look and I'm assured that everything is going to be fine, one look and I'm assured I'll always have you by my side. Your eyes give away your secrets, let me know what you hide deep inside. I love the way your eyes seem to melt when you look at me. Your eyes tell me things I shouldn't believe in, things too good to be true. Sometimes,...

I was going through your pictures, your texts, your IMs and I realised I missed you. I also realised I shouldn't. Its hard without you, without someone who made me take things a little lightly when I was all stressed out. Now without you, I'm bursting at the seams. I would be lying if I said I got over you the moment I deleted your numbers, because I kind of have them memorised, because when I was deleting some old pictures, I had to halt at one of yours. I'm not framing these words to make you realise how much you hurt me, but because I need you to know. I needed you to know then and I told you what you meant to me through my words. And I need you to know now, that however strong I act, a tear reaches my eyes as soon as I see you. I need you to know that your voice makes me break down and I need you to know that I'm too weak to face you now. Because its all in my eyes, all the pain, the longing, its all there. One look, and my eyes would give me away. Understand ...

People come to this world alone and they have to go alone. To make this journey called life easier, we associate with people, we form bonds. Some bonds are made by birth and blood, some by fate, and some we choose on our own. In the former two cases, not much is in our hands. The latter case is where we make the most mistakes, or in some cases the best decisions of our lifetime. These people we choose come to be known as our friends, a word and a bond widely misused these days. What makes it worse is that however good you think your judgement might be, only time can show you the true colours of any person. Its a tricky thing, making friends, more like a trial and error method. Some friends are made by chance, while on the other hand, more often than not, the friends you depend on might give you the woes of your life. And that isn't even the worst part, it is when you try to cope with it, when you try to get over them that you realise what a fool you've been. The thing is ...

Harry Potter - My childhood in two words, in a name, in a story so brilliant it somehow makes you believe in magic. The last few days have been great and not because I'm studying vigorously for my exams (because sadly, I'm not) but because I've been rewatching the series. And ofcourse, it feels awesome. I remember back in the days when I used to wait for May Movie Magic on Pogo every summer, just because I would get to see these movies! They were days when we used to wonder if we'd ever get our letters to Hogwarts because we had no doubts about ourselves being witches and wizards. Every little hunch that came true, made our suspicions stronger. It sure was a kind of disappointment when my letter was lost in the mail (Yes, I choose to believe that!) but as I grew up, I realised that I don't need a Hogwarts to hone my magic skills. I could do that myself, by believing that I had magic in me, by believing that this magic made the world a better place in a crazy, ...

This..is a short excerpt that I have no idea why I'm writing, maybe because this incessant pain in my ear won't let me think. A girl is half lying on her bed, a pair of spectacles perched at the tip of her nose. She's reading a cheesy, romantic novel with a consistent image in her head. Her phone beeps, its a text from the guy she's thinking about. Boy - Hey! Wassup? Girl - Nu'n much. Reading. You? Boy - Guess what!? :D Girl - No you didn't! :O You did? :O Did you? :O :D Yayyyyy! :D >:D< Boy - Yeah.. um.. I did. :P Girl - Congoooooo bestie. :D :D :D What just happened here is that a girl got her heart broken, and a guy just did that unknowingly. What's worse is, since they're the best of friends, the girl will either have to put on a brave face everyday when she sees them together, or she'll have to let go of the friendship too because she doesn't have the strength to do it the other way. The guy, on the other hand will conti...
