Nostalgia Engulfed...

Case I : Our nights have grown shorter. We don't talk as much as we used to. We're too busy in our own worlds to even care if we miss each other. We don't reply to each other's messages. When one tries to converse, the other doesn't feel like it. Is it really that hard to take a little time to appreciate what we have? Or is it what we had? Case II : I don't wait for you to come online. You don't have time to listen to my worries any more. We don't talk about our career plans and insecurities together. You don't have time to feel protective of me anymore. Was it really that hard to keep up an innocent friendship? Case III : I looked at you from a distance and recognised your familiar face. I have it etched somewhere in my heart. I can sketch you smiling even when I'm half asleep. Your smile is what kept my world bright. Now I just have to endure the darkness with a sense of defeat. Is it really that hard to speak up your mind, for on...

Hello readers! :) Care to drop in a comment sometime? The number of pageviews, and not knowing 28 out of the 30 people who read the post, creeps me out! Anyway, day before yesterday, I boarded a train to come home. Three-tier AC is still the worst on my list, this experience didn't help much. The congested middle berth and a bunch of talkative, always-up-for-debate elders, who could ask for more, eh? [For people who do not understand sarcasm, right at this moment, I feel like being Leonard and holding up a sign for your 'Sheldon Cooper brain' that says 'SARCASM'] :| Sorry for that one but I'm kind of getting tired of having to explain my jokes every single time. So the journey, right. There was this working lady who sat beside me and had the berth above mine. Being an avid reader, the kind that cannot travel without reading, I had bought a little something to read. Since campus romances are all that you find these days, frustrated I thought of giving up...

From last friendship day to this one, more than just the 'Friendship Day wallpaper' has changed. Learning to NOT live in the past is the best thing your friends can teach you. Celebrating the genuineness of friendship this Friendship Day, you don't have to be together all the time, you and your friends. Just create an assuring impression, which says you're always there for them, if and whenever they need you. Also, don't be disheartened if they don't, because sometimes, friends are only meant to create a few memories and not relive them. You see, at the end of the day, you're grateful to those friends who stuck with you all the while, but not as much as those who first come to your mind when you're sad. Every friend teaches you something worthwhile. Starting from the age when you're toddlers, you learn to play in the mud or pull each others' hair from a few friends, with few you learn to ride a bike, with few you learn to share secrets and ...

First of all, A VERY VERY VERY VERRRRYYYY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! This post celebrates the twentieth birthday of my 24x7[except holidays] friend, philosopher and guide, the person who made it all look easy in these two years. A studious bookworm, a faithful friend, an excellent daughter, a lovable sister, a dedicated (ahem!) friend [read into the lines here :P], and a perfect counselor. I would like you to know that I'm grateful to you - for forgiving my silliness at times, for putting some sense into my brain every now and then, for really listening and understanding all that I always have to say, for trusting me enough to share things closest to you, for just being you! You are one of the very few people who know me, and know me well. I wish you all the happiness in the world, and everything you deserve, everything you want. I promise I'm gonna be there for you every single time that you need me.  Apart from that, I also promise to : Bug you by calling you o...

Haven't written in a while.. realised this when my thoughts got overcrowded, too difficult to interpret. Sooooo, what's new, eh? I'm at home, the weather is so awesome I could die of happiness. I have all my favourite things around.. and I have all the time in the world to eat and sleep and waste! I sleep half of the day, and spend the other half watching movies and TV series. In short, life is blissful. Then again, life is what you make it. I know, its just a matter of days. I'm gonna get bored of the movies, eventually return to offline mode on facebook chat, and start yearning for Bbsr again. Its the same case there too. The other place somehow always feels more tempting, more...me! Its kind of like an identity crisis. On one side there's..familiarity..familiar places, familiar people. The other side has adventure, novelty, a chance to build a new me, which unfortunately, I haven't had much success with. Its kind of impossible to pick one. Raipur has ...

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.
