I Want It No More !!

Hey lovely people !

Ah... It feels so good to be updating my blog after such a long time. It was not like I was busy or something..... i just could think of anything to blabber about at all . Pretty strange, right ? haha Anyways, the writer me is back , I think :P lol. *enough of the drama now* As the picture above may have suggested , the post today is about a very common human trait- Being judgmental.

I was a very judgmental person. I judged and grouped people so fast and involuntarily, that I stunned myself (YES, this really happened !!!) But now I'm slowly trying to outgrow it. I should have realized that I had to get rid of this nature of mine ages ago but oh well! I am a late bloomer and that's not something I can help myself with. I didn't even think I had this problem until a while ago until all of this came daunting on me.

All this happened on a social networking website, facebook of course :P There is this group there where most of the student from our section have become a member. We usually post our practical assignment for others but, there are always the funny jokes and hilarious instances when someone posts something one of the teacher did or said that day in the class...okay, you get the picture, I think :P

So one fine day, one of my classmates put the question 'Who's your favorite band ?' up for discussion in the group. Not much later, comments came pouring in . And a lot of people had this popular music band as their favorite. I too liked that band but ,well, I was not crazy about it like the rest of them . And i'm not the kind of girl who has the mediocre choices so I wrote something near to this , "I too like it but since all of you have the same choices I don't like it like that'' AS IN 'I'm not crazy about it' .

Not a while later, a bunch of people, who 'lived-and-died' only for their music, told me that 'I was nuts', 'I'd very bad taste in music', 'They hated me' and things like this. I was staggered to see all of the negativity from the people who told me earlier they liked me inside out . I felt sad for a moment or two to find out how judgmental the world was; how cruelly they handled the ones who had different choices than them. It took some time, but I finally managed to calm them down and explain to them what I had really meant to say.

They apologized later but 'hate' is a strong word. And, the damage was done. It hurt to know that the people who were so close to me , apparently, 'hated' me for my taste in music. Though the web of misunderstanding got resolved soon and things went back to normal, my stomach still flips when I think of that day. It was not completely their fault too. Their brains worked that way. And the moment on, I swore to myself ,that I WOULD NEVER EVER JUDGE PEOPLE BY MERE WORDS POPPED FROM THEIR MOUTH..... YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T KNOW WHAT THEY IMPLIED OR WHAT HAS MADE THEM THINK THAT WAY (even though, it was virtually spoken in this case, the rule applies ) . I want to stop being judgmental ; I WANT IT NO MORE ;) .So, I learned a pretty big lesson that day. And I hope you too learned something from this small incident. And till now the journey of getting rid of it has been : so far, so good ;)

This much for today, folks. Will update the blog soon... till then,
Goodbye
Much love :)

20 Things To Do Before 20

This post is a little different than the posts I usually do and it's "fun-er" than the rest of them too. I still have a year or two before I hit the twenties and that's where things get interesting. Teenage is probably going to be the most interesting part of our lives so I wanted to make a bucket list to make sure that this phase ceases in its full glory. So, this is my take on 20 things to do before 20 . Hope you enjoy going through it ! :) 20. Bunking classes 19. Reading a good book and crying 18. Not studying for an exam but still acing it 17. Having a "love at first sight" moment 16. Watching a TV series until you get sick....literally 15. Trying a food you can't pronounce 14. Having at least 20 crushes 13. Talking to someone through the night till dawn 12. Going for shopping... alone! 11. Watching back-to-back movie at a cinema hall 10. Dating someone who isn't your type 9. Going to a dance party 8. Drunk dial...

How it all started :)

As I start my very own blog from today.... I'd want to commence by stating how I started writing stuff ...have fun reading, even though, it's my very first piece of write-up here...And I'd love it if you comment on how it went. Thank you :) Writing is not something that I started doing from a very young age and yet I just love how it makes me feel every time I do it. As of now, It has spread inside of me as a poison because even if I try to fall out of this habit now, I just simply can't! It all started out some 5 years ago when my very first piece of writing was published in 'The Himalayan Times', in the 'Schoolpost' section, for the very first time. The encouragement and appreciation I got at that moment made me want to try my hand at this....and now I am what I am today all because of the feeling of being appreciated It was not that I started to write out-of-the-blue. Since a very young age, my father used to take me out to...

about love

When I was 10, love was Familiarity. Love was big eyes and sweet smile, coming over to give me his share of chocolates that he got for someone's birthday. Love was getting picked to play with him first. Love was random calls to my house that my mom picked up. Love was waiting for his silly emails over long summer breaks. Love was knowing I was his best friend. When I was 14, love was a Secret. Love was staring at his pretty eyes from far away. Love was the music in my ears whenever I heard him call my name. However, love was also sly. Love was accidentally brushing against his skin while walking beside him. Love was catching him looking at me and at once looking away. Love was the crescendo of heartbeats that came after. Love was... finding out it was love. When I was 17, love was All-knowing. Love was thinking pretty eyes wasn't love at all. Love was realizing I hadn't met love yet but knowing exactly what he looked like. Love will.... definitely be taller than me....

The Knowing

Hey folks,, What's up with you guys? As of me I'm super busy with the assignments and home-works !! No matter how much effort I put....there's always another pile of assignments to complete! (sighs) Anyways.....this time I'm going to post a story I wrote ....Immature you may tell me but I seriously am improving day by day... :) ....Here's goes the story... Aryaa looked stunning in the red gown. Her face was gleaming. He couldn’t help watching her. She was moving so abruptly and graciously towards him that he nearly fainted. She looked ravishing and the pretty girl was now standing by his side. She looked at him with her big sparkly eyes. Her alluring fragrance was lifting him off his feet. She gestured him to tell him something in his ear. He absent-mindedly moved towards her. “Wake Up, Rahul” was what she said. For once he couldn’t make out what she was referring to and the next moment he opened his eyes. Rahul was already so late for college yet his mom insi...

Forever ?

I ,personally, feel that forever is very overrated. Overrated in the sense that , people vastly use it without thinking of the clauses that comes with it The real meaning of 'forever' seems to have lost its essence along the way. 'Friends forever', 'I'll be with you forever' ...e.t.c are the most common ones that falls upon my ears. But in fact, there is no such thing as forever. All the promises and the effect of the words fade away with time. Change is inevitable. It can neither be postponed, nor can it be sent back once it has arrived. It just comes as a strong wind, which gusts away all the promises and hopes of forever. If nothing lasts forever, why is 'forever' even used by the people who can't subside by its meaning? Why take all the trouble of even mentioning it, if you can't act upon your own words? Why promise of it, if you have no idea if you are going to live the next moment or die away ? Why bother ? ~

How I Met Your Mother vs Friends

Photo:Pinterest I watched How I Met Your Mother for the first time when I was in 7 th grade. At that time, the jokes most likely went right over my head and I probably didn’t understand the context to many things but still something about Ted Mosby resonated with me, even then. I have always struggled with keeping my love in check like him which has led to various failings throughout the years but Ted’s always had my back by being one step ahead. For these reasons and more, I whole-heartedly love the show. On the other hand, I watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S. a couple years later and thought it was mostly nice. I’d all but forgotten about it until last year when, for some reason, everyone started talking about it. I, by no means, thought it was a bad show but I couldn’t fathom why everyone liked it so much . People started labelling it superior to HIMYM which didn’t sit well with me. So I decided to re-watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S to gain perspective which led me to the conclusio...

Chase

Picture of my friend Pooja Shrestha shot by Apekshya Rijal All my life, I’ve grabbed the bull by the horns Never sat back Never really minded the thorns “Roses will be worth it Just wait for your turn” I should have turned back I should have run. Tugging and pulling Fervent passion ruling I let it get to my head Words, a million in my mind left unsaid. All that chasing And mindless engaging Sowing but never reaping Giving Never receiving. Tedious bouts of rejecting And being rejected Honestly? I’m just a little dejected.

Rust & stardust

There's not much to say about love beyond what has already been said But in the past, every time we fell apart I always used to find new ways To bleed on paper about you. Yet, this time has been different Because the words I spit out about you now don't make any sense Just like how we fell apart doesn't make any sense. Every time I sat down to write this, My thoughts always went back to that one time When you said I'd never be able to write anything without you in it, ever again. I laughed and rolled my eyes at you then But I knew you were right Even during the long stretches of radio silence between us, my words always seemed to find their way back to you. You were sometimes the hero in my stories Sometimes the villain And yet, you were there Car...

I know I can count on you :)

Hey good people!! Its been long since I updated my blog. But you know,when I don't feel 'ít', I just can't write anything! lol I know that I keep telling this but every bit of the next sentence is true. I'm just crazy like that! :P Okay, so today's post is certainly not about my stupidity.(You had probably guessed that considering the large heading but I wanted to mention it anyways..lol) The post right here is about the people who accept my tantrums, silliness, mood swings and most importantly my 'short-temperedness' with ease ( I do 'chill out' after a short while even if I get angry VERY fast.. but lord bless those people!! It can be hard at times :P ) . This post is all about the people who make my life great. Yes,Friends are what i'm talking about...even if you didn't guess it already regarding the cheesy lines :P Today happens to be THE friendship day , so, I thought what better day could I pick to write about th...

Music to my ears

Photo Credit: alldowntoharmony.tumblr.com I'm not much of music person per se. I don't play any instrument nor do I understand chords. And I like to believe that I can survive without listening to music for a couple days atleast, if it comes to that. However, most often than not, my room is blaring out songs and I need to listen to music while I take a shower or first thing in the morning when I'm getting dressed for college ....The thing is I am not much of a music person, but I prefer to be. What I like most about music is how it transports you back to the person you used to be when you first started listening to the song. 5 seconds into the intro and you will be traveling back in time. When I was in middle school, I was a big "Hannah Montana" fan (still am, kind of). Hence, my playlist included a bunch of Miley Cyrus songs, a couple from Linkin Park (courtesy of my best friend's big brother), that super popular Avril song and of course, infamous ...
