||The magic lies within you..



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, weird way if I used it wisely. There's a whole load of things that I've learned from Harry. I've learned to be myself, I've learned honesty, loyalty and courage and I've learned that true friendship is what matters the most. It made me believe I would someday find my Ron and Hermione who would never leave me alone when I needed them.

It showed me having a little disregard for the rules didn't make you any less of a person if it was all for the right cause, it showed me you don't have to be rich to be a good person but your family principles are what really make you rich from within, and it showed me that being a nerd was in fact, really cool. Above all, it taught me that power isn't everything, Love is. I have a hunch I'll be writing about this magical world again sometime, and being the witch that I am, I believe in my hunches. ;) Meanwhile, I'll go take my OWLs from the distance learning course at Hogwarts. :P

Cya!

||Tell me why..

He nudged her to bring her out of her reverie. She was lost again, zoned out, overthinking. "Penny for  your thoughts? Or do you want it to be punny?" She laughed in that way she only laughed with him and broke out of her spell. It was easy being around him, effortless. It didn't matter what she had to do to be near him or how many intolerable yet genius puns she had to endure to hear him giggle at his own damn jokes. Maybe that's exactly why she couldn't describe what about him made her happy. She had been asked that often, a lot, really. And she couldn't figure out how anybody who knew him even the tiniest bit couldn't understand it. It felt natural for her to gravitate towards him because he was it. Not in the epic love story and grand gestures way but just the I-can-just-be-myself-around-you-and-you-put-me-at-ease way. She was wound up and every year of her life and every incident that came along with it had built her up a nice, cosy layered wall tha...

Welcome to this stupid post

  It has been a year and a half since I last wrote anything, well, significant. (Coincidentally, also the exact age of my dog.) So I figured it was time to get out all the stupid. Here goes nothing. He’s twenty eight, almost twenty nine. January has always been a difficult month, it’s been the month of departures in his life. Most people are excited about the hope January brings with it, he’s terrifyingly cautious of the signs it brings - of people leaving, of things changing, and basically everything going to shit. His fears are not unfounded, he’s not a vague person like that. He’s seen things happen, he’s felt things hurt and he’s experienced darkness in its complete, mystifying totality. People think he's naïve, his problems self-made but tell that to the spiraling tornado in his head that won't quit screaming. Fast forward to two years later, it's his thirtieth birthday eve. He grew up celebrating and anticipating this month, now he plans to sleep well before midnight....

||Friends? Sure..

I woke up this morning thinking about writing this post because I couldn’t fathom how one year we were going crazy with friendship bands, everything was simpler, love was friendship, movies were influential and then I wake up today and it’s a pretty normal day. Also I wanted to try out my cute new keyboard which otherwise seems like money not so pragmatically spent. I wanted to reminisce a little bit about all the different kinds of friends I’ve had over the years. The one you rang first on the landline every time you got the tiniest bit of gossip. The one you went running around the school playground with, jumping off corridors as your fancy birthday dress flew up in frilly cuteness. The one you spent hours with coming up with numbers to cryptic-name your multiple crushes/persons of interest. The same one you found sitting on the first bench after assembly, new to school but so old and wise beyond her age (still). The ones you keep thinking you’ve said goodbye to but they keep coming ...
