Hellooo 2070 !

"Day after day nothing changes and when you look back everything's changed" ~ Unknown

As I'm trying to write about the things that happened in my life this year, all I can think of right now is this quote which I read many many months ago on the internet . It didn't make so much sense then but it sure does now. Funny how life can change so much in such a short time. Well, I don't think 365 days is a lot of time. Anyways,When I say that this is undoubtedly one of the truest things ever written, I know I speak for everyone else too, regardless of all the differences that we might have.

The year 2069 was filled with surprises for me. Small surprises, big surprises, happy surprises , funny surprises, sad surprises.. I had them all. Even after all these things, If I'm totally honest with myself, I'd say it was a great year . I had my share of sadness and tribulations too....but who doesn't, right ?

A year back, at this time exactly, I was a bundle of confusion. I didn't know where I'd end up to complete my high school, I didn't know if the marks I scored in my SLC would be good enough for myself to be happy, I didn't know how the hell I was going to spend my longest vacation after 13 years of School and most importantly I had no idea what kind of work I'll be doing to sustain my life . I still have no idea what field I'm going to pursue after my high school but atleast the things I can do is pretty restricted now... and I'm saving all the hassle of "aiming at the right direction" for later.. !

This year was also the year of new beginnings and first-timers for me. I joined a new college, made a whole new lot of friends, met so many amazing people, started my very own blog, went to new places, took part in a rally against social wrong-doings... dissected frogs and earthworms, wore a Sari for the first time in my life ....and many many more stuff which I can't remember right now. lol. And yet when I go through the things that happened in my life this year so far, all I can remember is the good times. Hah, I must have had a great year afterall .. ;)

It's a few days till the new year's day and I'm already excited about the coming year. A New year equals new possibilities for me. Yup, You could say I am enthusiastic about the silly new year celebrations too. And , to be honest, I see no reason to not be so because it's not everyday that I get to celebrate and be happy for the arrival of a day which is pretty much the same as the previous day and completely different too, on that matter. Best of both, I guess !

As I sum up my article, Let me let you in on a secret of mine... the lower you keep your expectations, the joyful you are ! Trust me, this is the most valuable thing I've realized till date ! ;)

And, An early new year's greetings to all you lovely people... :) Let this year be the happiest year of your lives so far and bring the best out in all of you... May it be the year of beginning of good things and the ending of the bitter ones.. Have a great year everyone ! :D

And to top off this post, I have a great news for all of us. This blog is VERY close to getting 3000 hits ! How awesome is that? :D Like I always say, a writer is incomplete without the readers so a BIG 'Thank you' to all of you for getting me this far. 3000 hits and many more to go....Cheers ! :D

Goodbye !
XOXO

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...

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....

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...

One More Day

Photo Credit: Tumblr.com If I had one more day with you, I don't think I'd do many things differently. We'd still wake up next to each other. You'd wake up first like you always did. As the morning sun pierces the curtains, I'd curl into you unconsciously, shielding myself. You'd smile unto yourself silently, embracing me. We'd be a tangle of messy hair, blankets and warmth. You'd be the first one to get up from the bed. "We'll be late", you'd say. "Can't we just take a day off? Go for a picnic maybe? It'd be our first date after getting married" , I'd suggest. "Sure honey", you'd say laughing. I'd wake up next and start making tea. After a while, you'd come out of the shower, all steam and water drops. Gently sipping my tea, I'd look at you. "What are you looking at, missus?" you'd say with pretend innocence. "Only my favorite person in the world...

Shipwreck

PC: pinterest.com We sailed into the vast unknown Never knowing it’d leave us so torn Almost failing several times, We persisted Only to be flooded, We still resisted. Both knowing it wasn’t right, We fought Sometimes one another Sometimes together Wanting the ship But never each other. The voyage was cursed A shipwreck pending We needed to face facts, Risk it all Once and for all, Stop pretending.

La Vie En Rose

You see me and you smile I look away, too shy You kiss me and talk of love This is la vie en rose We take a walk in the rain together holding hands, it only gets better Unfurling, I tell you things I feel You smile and touch my lips And life will always be la vie en rose.

Encounters.

I had known it the second second I woke up that day. Something atypical was going to happen and I could tell. I lazily turned off the alarm on my phone. I just couldn't help but stare at the date. It was like the calendar was giving me signs. It just didn't feel "normal". The thought was insane so I just brushed it off and got off the bed. I hurriedly got ready, had my breakfast and ran off to college because as always I was late. The rest of the morning was as mundane as any morning could be. I felt stupid for all the thoughts that came to my find earlier. I made a mental note to not buy romance novels the next time I went to a book store. I had some really boring classes that day and dreading it made those preposterous thoughts slip off my mind instantly. I had to sit through two consecutive Chemistry classes first thing in the morning and I was losing my mind. When the bell rang for break, I couldn't wait to get a breath of fresh air. I caught my...

Love & Hate

PC: Elitedaily.com Silence woke her. As she laid on the floor, saliva drooping from her mouth, she realized it had gotten darker. She must have passed out for an hour or so. She sub-consciously touched her forehead. There was no blood this time but she knew it would bruise. The glass had hit her pretty hard, after all. Hits, Bruises and cover-ups were just another day in this household. As she got bearings of the time and place, she started to look around. Few yards away in the next room, she saw a heap of limbs passed out on the floor. Upon closer inspection, she could smell the concoction of alcohol, vomit and sweat. The view was jarring but she wasn't repulsed. The emotion that overcame her was pity. Pity at the man who was her husband. Pity at the man she once loved. As she looked back, she didn't know where exactly she she went wrong with her life. Born to a privileged family, she was smart and beautiful. No wonder, she had caught an athlete's eye. He was pre...

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...

Reminiscence

My jar of memories :-) Ever since I was little, I've had this affinity with Roses. I don't know if it's the overlapping petals, the sweet sensational smell or the fact that that level of beauty can blossom midst the nastiest of thorns. Or maybe its the whole package. It might be the romantic in me showing its colors, but gifting someone Roses always felt like the right thing to do. And in return, receiving Roses still feels like the best thing ever. Years passed, friends broke away and lovers drifted yet I always saved the roses- pressed and dried. A sane person would throw away the memories of people who don't matter anymore. However, I like to save it because no matter what happened afterwards, that moment is a happy memory. And happy memories are like bottles of wine in a way. As our brain has a way of blurring out negatives, moments become sweeter the farther down you travel in time. In a way, my jar of memories (as I like to call it) provides me ge...
