Brighter than Sunshine

Since ‘friendship’ day is day after tomorrow, I thought i’ll write a ‘friendship special’ :) Though I don’t really believe in these stupid ‘days’ but nevertheless, I guess it’s a good time to acknowledge those whom you love the most…

So, to begin with, I did tell you earlier how my friends are ‘little tyrants’ of my life and they rule my life completely…I mean it, literally! :p

Being a ‘fauji’ kid, I never got to spend much time at a single place. Every time, as soon as I started adjusting to a new place, a new environment we were posted off (I have literally led a life of a ‘nomad’) and then the cycle began…a new school, first day, new people, different teachers. I hated all of it. Crying for days on hearing the news of another posting, desperately asking mom, “Why can’t we just stay at a single place??” and getting the same answer all the time, “It’s dad’s job, we can’t help it.” Though I loved being in airforce but I hated shifting.

But weirdly, no matter how difficult the transition had been or how much time I took to adjust to the ‘new’ place, I always ended up loving it (though it did make the next posting even more difficult).

I guess this was because of the fact that I was really very lucky, I always ended up finding the best of friends which helped me at everything…adjusting, studying, but most importantly ‘surviving’. I know if I hadn’t met them, surviving in that new place would not have been possible. And after changing ‘nine’ schools in past 17 years of my school life, I have managed to gather loads of AMAZING friends, which I know will be there for me till eternity!

We might not interact that much today or be like we used to be, I don’t deny the fact that the distances did take a toll on our friendship, but they did bring a change in my life and made me the person I am today.

So this friendship day, I have decided, that I am gonna locate all my lost friends and tell them how important they were and still are to me.

And make them realize that our ‘friendship’ is even ‘Brighter than sunshine’!! :)

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!!!

A Drop of HOPE...

It’s almost been a week that I haven’t seen the sun. Apart from the rare little rays of sunlight…it keeps on raining, not hard, just like a slow gray drizzle, like tears. Ahh well I am not giving you the weather report but this is what is happening in my life as well!!

I did tell you about my ‘struggle’ for getting into a college; it is the thing that has drained all my hope. Getting into a good college now totally depends upon some kind of miracle and which just isn’t gonna happen. Its not that I don’t believe in miracles but the fact that I have already seen one so chances of experiencing another are quite slim. (using ‘slim’ I am quite understating it!).

You know…sometimes it is just difficult to look at what people say,’ the larger picture’ or believing in the fact that ‘whatever happens, happens for the good’. And to all those who keep on telling me the same things…thank you so much for believing that I am gonna end up with not what i always wanted but what is best for me (that does definitely help me) but its just difficult to believe in it at the moment (though I might end up saying ‘u were right’) and I wanna clarify that I am NOT a ‘pessimist’ probably a ‘well informed optimist’ or ‘prac-ti-cal’ :p

So never mind…my point is being depressed or crying once in a while isn’t really that bad. Ok so now you must be thinking that I am completely contradicting the basic concept of this blog…so yes I am contradicting! (:p)

I know being depressed or crying doesn’t really help but nevertheless it does help you sober down (if only a bit) and you just might end up finding someone who would do everything only to get your smile back! :)

Just a ‘drop of hope’ is required…because considering the law of nature the sun will be back…shining and smiling as ever!!

Ciao till den!! Keep smiling :)

THE PRESENT

Before I talk about my weird life of past eighteen odd years…or my plans and aspirations of my future…I thought I should first talk about the PRESENT. Afterall ‘living in the moment’ is what I personally believe in.

So well its already been three months since I have left my school, (the place that has taught me a lot and yes, not only academically. It has made me the person that I am today and ‘fcourse given me friends who are actually little tyrants of my life, but I’ll go in details later on…) and now literally ‘struggling’ to get into some college (all thanks to my poor grades! *sigh*)…so well right now I am living in a kind of ‘transition period’ with nothing much to do but still loads of thoughts in my head (giving me sleepless nights all the time).

All thanks to this ‘transition period’…I am currently suffering from drastic mood swings I am happy in a second and cranky in just the next one :(

Like just yesterday after being sarcastic and unnerve the entire day I ended being extremely happy just for the fact that I found a very old song I had been looking for quite a few months now. And then I figured out I don’t really need reasons to be happy…just a small walk in the park in cool breeze or playing hopscotch with kiddos or just feeling the raindrops on my palm (though I hate to get wet) are enough to make my day!!!

And I guess its not that bad to be happy and de-happy ‘cause it creates a balance in your life…afterall life is a like a sinusoidal curve, with its crests and troughs and the average always comes out be zero!!

But i prefer to look at the brighter side of it...afterall its 'The Sunny Side Up' :)

The Beginning...

Heya!

After a big bad realisation that I am totally wasting all my time and simply being upto no good (oh yeah dat was some ‘realisation’! )…I wrote dis…my first note on my new ‘blog’!!

Talking about the ‘realisation’ thingie…I have passed all my past days by facebooking, constant sms-ng, chatting, sleeping etc..etc (oh yes, I am such a ‘vella’)…which made me realise that my life was nothing more than a quick succession of absolute nothings…

So I have decided to change it a bit (and only a ‘bit’)…and planned to do something more meaningful or atleast something that gives me satisfaction of doing it and so I have started with this blog.

Apart from this, the reason I started it is because I really do believe in what Mark Twain once said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did.” And regret and disappointment is something I don’t wish to live with!

Plus I wanna thank my best friend, Archika Poria, for giving me the idea of starting this...love you archi<3

So I am ending my first note here but there will be more…ciao till then!

Thanks for reading :)
