The past year...
...has been a roller coaster ride in the true sense. After a hiatus of more than a year(OMG!) , I have much to blog about and a single post just wont do. I shall, in a series of posts , paint out the changing , merging shades that coloured my life in the past year.As they say , change is the only constant. And changed I have , in subtle , yet profound ways. But I'm happier. I'm more at peace.And that is what matters.
Conquer the tempestthat rages within,Explore , endure , excel and you will know...Its the battle that teachesmore than the win...Labels: change, life, wistful
All I want ...
Why does life have to be all about making choices?
I , for one , am not interested in compromises.
I want it all. And I want it my way.I do not want to let go and I
will not let go of all that is precious and all that is not- too- precious as well.
Call it die-hard optimism plus sheer tenacity or just some illogical thoughts of a headstrong 20 year old.
All I want is everything. Is that really too much to ask for?

Life in general , and relationships in particular , are so complicated.
Sigh.

Unforgettable
We were standing at opposite corners of the room.
Our eyes met.
He waved at me , asking if I had cleared the group discussion round.
I nodded and in gestures , asked him the same. He nodded too.
His face was shining.
The face of hope.
Of beating the odds.
Of happiness.
I was truly happy for him.
Although he didn't clear the next round I will never forget his face at that moment.
I think of that particular moment , of emotions frozen in time..and a slight twinge of sadness dissolves in that lake of beautiful emotions.
That indescribably beautiful moment,special in an inexplicable way is something I'll never forget...
I wish he'd made it.
But my heart tells me there are better things waiting for him.

is what makes me feel grown up
is what makes me feel I have to grow up
is what makes me feel like I have grown up . A lot.
I wasn't really looking forward to my birthday.
But now that its come , there's this sort of sweet melancholy....more sweet than melancholic actually , if you know what I mean.Its the kind of feeling that I relish in a most strange way. It reminds me of the way wine tastes in my mouth. Red wine.
The winds of change have begun blowing and this time , its towards the right direction.And I'm quite happy. I can't believe what I've been waiting for , since so long is finally happening. All this time , hope was all I had. I sought solace by telling myself that if I could survive this , I could survive anything in life.Now that I can see light at the end of the tunnel , I'm just scared to be totally , completely happy. There's this slight streak of fear that makes me wonder if this might just be some kind of illusion. The winds of change also bring along something new...something I hope , I won't disappoint and I hope it doesn't disappoint me either.
She tells me to just let go , to just flow freely . Why am I finding it difficult? I'm beginning to try , though . :)
Its strange , you know , when what you want , comes your way , without any efforts whatsoever...and then you start wondering if this was what you really wanted.
One thing is for sure , there's a reason behind everything that happens. And this time the reason is staring at me with such intensity , that its nothing but obvious. But I'm ok now. I crashed into that wall of glass , but I'm wiser !
This is my first birthday without a cake. Again , the taste of wine....
This birthday of mine coincided with Raksha Bandhan.....wine...the taste of wine...
I spent the evening with Kid and
Yash . Thanks for everything ! You guys make me feel so special ! umm..the taste of wine..white wine ..and ..beer !!
Happy, content , a li'l intoxicated and twenty years old! Thats me ! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!
