Swirls of Colors

Lately, I seemed to have hit a rough spell. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't write anything. My miniature brain can be such a weirdo sometimes. lol. Anyhoo, I finally came up with something today.And ......

As I sit down on my bed with pink floral sheets, I have an epiphany. I look around my room and there's a bright yellow Spongebob clock looking down at me, a picture hung on the wall opposite to my bed has a class picture with a maroon hue in it, there's this flower thing that's hung near the door that kinda has every color skittles are available in *or more*, on the top of the cupboard there's my "puchku" wearing a glimmering purple birthday hat..... and there's more to it but it could take me all day long if I describe every thing in an excruciating detail. :P

At sunset :)

The point here is , colors are like the taste we savor, the soothing tunes we hear and in the complex brush stokes in the masterpieces we see . If it weren't for the green grass, we'd never know the power it had to heal our soul. If it weren't for the grey misty mornings, we would't know of the magic spell left on the leaves by the dew drops. If there didn't exist a scarlet sky during the time of the sunset, we would never glimpse heaven bestowed on earth. The green pristine water in the rivers emanating from the mountains also have their own story to tell. Ravishing in their own ways, I might as well add.

In our daily lives too, it's impossible to live without the possibility of being lost when it comes to choosing a specific color while shopping. Go down the memory lane... Can't you remember even a single moment when you have walked out of the store because they didn't have a certain thing in the particular color you wanted? Hold a black and white picture in your hand, doesn't it remind you of something old and classy even if it isn't ? Don't you remember to make a wish when you see the spectrum of colors in the sky ? Close your eyes for a moment and you can still see the random swirls of colors before the vast nothingness that follows. Life without color is no less than a body without a soul. There's emptiness and nothing at all.

Personally, colors are as big part of my life as the next person's. A cute red dress almost always reminds me of the first date and everything romantic. The color blue always calms me down irrespective of the situation I'm in. A certain kind of purple reminds me of a popular telecom company down here in Nepal. A particular yellow in the color chart reminds me of "puchku", when I'm in the garden surrounded by flowers of every color I can think of, it's close to impossible to not automatically smell a pleasant fragrance ..... and there's infinite other colors which reminds me of infinite other things.
When it comes to colors there's no stopping, is there ? ;)

P.s Puchku is my teddy bear. No girl ever grows out of love for her teddy ! Atleast not me :D

My first day of college :D

Dear diary, Today was the day that I had dreaded for weeks (months actually :P). As the title suggests, today was the first day of my college life! First day is always the hardest and... so it was. The day as a whole was pretty aggravated and I sure am glad that the day is finally over... As i woke up this morning, all I could think was how this day would possibly end! New friends, new teachers, new environment, new class.... and god knows what! Walking through the gate with all the eyes staring at me was almost embarrassing...but I didn't let that get the best of me even if it was VERY hard to ignore. Oh well! It surely does happen to all of us at some point in our life! My college life started with a short presentation and a long lecture. Surprisingly, the hour-and-a-half long lecture was not so boring. Finally, the college administration officially welcomed us to their college and told that they were proud to have us! (sighs) Anyways, we didn't study today at all. Mainl

Switching Lanes

Photo credit: Toodamnyoung.com " Why did you decide to switch your field of study, from science to business? " Ever since I made it official that I'll be pursuing business administration for my undergrad, this question has been all the more frequent. So frequent that this is all anyone ever asks me. And to be honest, I had been expecting this. In the 21st century, people change their career paths all the time. So, the surprise element for me is not w hat people ask, but why people ask. People say 'World is a small place' all the time and there's a reason they say it. There's constant innovation in every field possible, every few seconds. The stakes are so high these days, that you can't just zone out for a few months and think that you'll catch up in no time. It's so hard to keep up that you have to keep your best foot forward all the time. To make it in today's world, only straight A's just don't cut it. You got to be

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 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

The Hair Story ♥

My hair in the span of two years :) I 'm the kind of girl who fusses about her hair a lot. And by a lot I mean, A LOT ! Those of you who know me personally know that a good hair day equals happy me. I never wanted to be this person but it's too late to change that now. And moreover, I was born this way *wink* A framed picture in my room tells me that I used to have this really short hair that stuck to my scalp, when I was very little. But as far as I can remember, I used to his have this mushroom cut thing that my personal hair stylist (My mom) did to my hair. I had this black, shiny , silky and straight hair but as of now nothing remains of it. Along with me, my hair has also changed a lot. My hair has turned kind of brown and wavy and I don't even know anymore if it's changed for the better or for the worse. Let's hope it has changed for the former because as you all know now I am kinda obsessed with it. All my freshman and sophomore days in high scho

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.

(un)finished business

By Vincent van Gogh - Starry Night Over the Rhone You were a ship passing by my ship during a sunset. Ours was a chance encounter, so it was never about staying close forever Nor was it about helping each other traverse the tides together. We had both set sail to reach far away lands from different ends of the earth With our journeys laid out in front of us. But when we met amidst the vastness of the sea It was difficult not to believe that something about our closeness made sense. There was comfort and ease in existing together, A never before felt sense of synchronicity, That all was unfolding as it should. I was the first to say goodbye though, Not because I didn't want you, But because I wanted you too much and I knew we weren't on the same page. But why is it that even if I was the reason we sail separately today, I find myself thinking about you more frequently than I care to admit. Sometimes, memories of you feel like a fervent fever dream, Because I can't

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 &q

I had to live without my phone for 10 days and it didn't go well.

Few months after I bought a phone, the worst thing that could happen to a person that bought a new phone happened to me. My phone started to dysfunction. My brand new phone, that I was paying way more than I could afford, was having issues. And like any normal person, I too went through the 5 stages of grief. I pretended like I did not see that my apps were crashing and my phone was restarting randomly. I would just put my phone face down when that happened because I did not want to deal with it (kids, don't try this at home). And then I levelled up to the next stage. My phone would restart exactly when I was trying to send an important text, make an important call...or take a picture, or a million, of a beautiful sunset and boy, did that piss me off. I tried to look up solutions online but I couldn't find any that worked for me. Then I started bargaining. Is my phone shutting down and starting up on its own, which takes a total of 20 secs, really that big of a deal? I felt li

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 conclusion that I
