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

Blank Canvas

Clarissa stared at the blank Canvas. It was the umpteenth time she had tried drawing that day and every time she had failed miserably. Heaps of scrunched white paper laid beneath her feet but even so, she wasn't done with the assignment yet. Art class that afternoon had been immensely enlightening. "Art comes from you heart and not your head. It unfolds the mystery of your sub-conscious. You may pretend things to be otherwise, but always remember that a piece of art is the window to your soul. It never lies", he'd said. And She had nodded, to herself more than anyone else. At the end of the class he had told everyone to draw something that made them smile, without reason and in the most turbulent of times. The pencil she'd been holding fell from her grasp and she bounced back from her reverie. She brainstormed again and again. She picked up the pencil and thought of various ways it could go. What was the thing she lived for ? She thought of the place sh...

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...

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...

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....

Sensations

PC: lovethispic.com He isn't cute. Cute doesn't even begin to describe half the person that he is. Cute is momentary, flimsy. And he is the furthest from flimsy as one can get. He is beautiful. His voice is beautiful, his laugh is beautiful and the way he looks at me, he makes me feel like I'm the most beautiful girl he's ever laid his eyes upon. He is a blazing flame. And I am but a mere moth. I'll get burnt, I know it. He doesn't promise me otherwise, either. Deciding it will be worth it has made all the difference. I could say I love him, but those three words can never justify the kaleidoscope of sensations I feel when I'm with him. He is all colors in one, at full brightness.

Falling Out

This was in no way in my thinking, Never thought we would end up this way Even with all the hopes and promises of forever We slowly drifted away. Even though you think otherwise now, You had a special place in my heart, always. I don't think that can ever be filled up No one can ever take that place, no way! I might have said the wrong things, I might have always wanted my way I apologize for all of it, I don't want to end things the bitter way. No matter how things ended between us, I never wanted it in any way But I do hope that you remain happy, And realize that all I wanted was to see you that way. We had an unfortunate falling out, I don't know who is to blame, But, I will always love you I know you will do the same.

On moving 6629km alone away from home

It was a fresh start, one that I needed desperately. Applications and documentation had taken so much of my time and sucked so much of my energy, I don't think I quite comprehended what the move was going to entail. While I was open to changes, I don't think I was aware of how much transformation across all aspects of life it would take to acclimatise myself to my new reality. I was just happy for a fresh start. Nothing else mattered. But turns out, getting on the plane is the easiest step in all of this. The amount of transformation I've gone through and learning I've done in the past couple months is truly insane, to say the least. Recently, a friend back home asked me how I was doing living alone and I thought about it. Honestly, it hasn't been all good or all bad, but the important thing has been rooting and balancing myself despite it all. Not sure if anything I've written will be groundbreaking or something that hasn't been already said 7 million time...

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...

My Solace

My mom had been pestering me to clean my room since ages and there was always something that I used against her to put it off. Yeah, I am no clean freak ...... but my mom is. I am not all up for untidy rooms but no matter how often I put everything in place, somehow a day after everything gets messed up again. So I don't bother much. This morning I finally succumbed to my mom's pleas and decided to do it anyway. I started with my study table as it needed the most immediate attention. And as soon as I got started, I unknowingly rummaged through old notebooks and rough copies. On the last page of EVERY single notebook, there were those scribbles of short poems and extracts of how my day was going on. It got me smiling and a sort of ecstasy spread through my veins. I had always been the kind of person who expressed her feelings through words and .... I haven’t changed one bit. :) The thing with me is - I don't speak much. I was never the person with the largest gro...

YOU & I

The sweet scent of summer had barely trickled into town. The trees were thawing, making way for color to seep back into the world. The sun dug into my eyes as I tried to take in the blueness of the sky. As my eyes started to tear up, I looked away and they fell on you. I didn't know you at all but as you made your way past me, I knew that that was what love looked like. You were beautiful. A tall, glorious vision I never wanted to forget. I wanted to encase you in a poem, to refrain you from ever leaving my mind, but you walked away before I could think of metaphors and similes. You didn't even look back. You just left. Too soon. The clouds greyed and the sky turned black. My heart was freezing and I desperately wished for the warmth of some one's arms around me. Much later, you told me how you liked people who could make their own fire. It was one of the things that I liked about you because it meant you didn't care how I wasn't looking for an...

...I speak my mind =)
