Were all grown ups ugly,gawky and foolish lookin when they were kids..?i know loads of them who weren't...i know some of them who were..one of them being ME..! ugly may jus be too strong a word to use..but gawky and foolish lookin , u bet i was...and if u ask my friends about it,they'l tell you that i haven't changed much since then..;)
but i tell u wat, if u are feeling low or say things are not working in our favour...i hav an amazing solution for that...Go look for one of your old school albums...Relive each one of those moments again through those pictures...trust me not only will it bring a huge smile on your face, but will relieve you of all the tension and worries and make u feel better about yourself and the person that u hav become....

I,for one, would like to believe thatt i had an 'almost' perfect childhood...been there, done that..:)as i mentioned earlier i wasn't a very pretty looking kid in school..infact i clearly remember this one incident where this guy who had a huge crush on me asked me out and my only reply to that was..."huh...of all the girls in school u like me..?" Poor guy u should've seen the look on his face it was hilarious....i learnt the tactics of better ways of refusal later in life...:)But thats probably the only problem i faced as a kid...low self esteem...but mind you that never deterred me from havin crushes on a million guys.{i don even remember the names of some of them!;)}.....
but nevertheless being a kid is probably the most fulfilling experience of one's life....i hav genuinely experienced it all...

from being an A grade student to becoming a 70 percenter in coll{ nothing to brag about, i agree!}..from singing carols at midnight during christmas to later developing the most husky hoarse voice a girl can have {risi would agree :)}...from being this petite feminine 9th grader to becoming 'Charlie chaplin' in the most happening costume party ever{chung this ones for ya..!}...from being slapped for the first time(n hopefully the last!) in the 5th grade for not doing my sanskrit homework to thumping ' we will rock you' beats on the benches during physics class.....from being a sober play safe sort of a girl to later developing the bold "sir,if u throw sulu out, u gotta throw me out too" kind of an attitude...

well i genuinely hav seen it all...but wat i miss the most about being a kid is the naivety and the innocence...i may hav turned 20 but i'm not sure if i've really grown up in my head...and somewhere down the line i think it has been a conscious effort to keep the kid in me alive....i guess thats the only way to live life to the fullest..only then can one enjoy and be amused at the lil joys of life...

So don be in a hurry to grow up....make the most of the time u hav now....
for growing up is a natural process that never ceases...
but the kid in u may die even before u realize it......

i wish....

i wish i could hold on to u and say its all ok....
i wish i could take away all your pain....
i wish i could put my head on ur lap and cry my heart out....
i wish i could wipe every drop that falls off ur lil eyes...
i wish i could be ur strength and not ur weakness....
i wish i could give u my share of happiness....
i wish my love was enough to make it all go.....
i wish.......

For the one i love.....

You know u are in love ....

-when just a 'love u' can brighten up your entire day

-when u start including him/her in your prayers...

-when u look for chances to hold hands in a crowded room..

-when those five-hour long calls seem like seconds...

-when u have a bad fight,the worlds seems to hav come to a standstill...

-when u wanna buy her the world even if u cant afford it..!

-when u start missin each other even after spending the entire day together..

-when u wanna protect her from the rest of the world..

-when u say a million 'sorry s' without knowing whose mistake it was in the first place

-when after a hard day,jus her smile makes u feel like the world is not that bad a place after all...

-when eveything u say has the potential to cause ur beloved immense joy or sorrow

-when u wake up each morming filled with gratitude that u hav another day to love and enjoy your partner......

life has this wierd way of spinging up surprises ...especially when u least expect it....
those really unpredictable , absolutely uncalled for , unforeseen , 'i'm gonna hit u hard' kind of surprises...
i know i talk a lot about life in my blogs..but can u blame me for it..
just when i thought that i knew where my life is heading..and what is in store for me...
there it was, this huge ball of surprise,shocker i would say, comin my way..
and before i knew it..BANG..!!

but u know what, everytime something like this happens, be assured that there is a hidden message behind it...a lesson of sorts...and try not to miss it...
trust me life teaches u lesson almost everyday...
For eg..the other day i went for this terribly stupid movie called
'metro'...and i regreted goin for it big time..
now u may wonder what is the message behind this..
well its simple...Read the review of the movie u are goin for 'Before' watching it...u will save urself the time ,money and torture of sittin through a bad film.... now ain't that terribly simple.?

The above eg may sound very petty and trivial to u but nevertheless u can't deny the fact there was a lesson to be learnt...
talkin of bigger things in life, like the shocker that hit me....the message behind that is bigger, more profound, more thought-provoking....
what i learnt was that...NEVER give up on life....Hav faith....if things are going terribly wrong tell yourself that there is something BETTER in store for u.....that u deserve something better...

Tell yourself.....'This too shall pass...'

trust me it works wonders....

well its been almost a month since i updated my blog.....and the only reason i can give for my hibernation is ..plain laziness..was just too lazy to get myself to sit in front of the comp and talk about something that i wanna share with the rest of u..dats the typical 'too lazy to move my ass 'attitude of mine ( for those who don know me well) n its worked great for me all these years ;) i shall elaborate on that later....anyway as for bloggin,better late than never.....

life has been pretty stable since i blogged last...smooth i would say...and i've been enjoin every bit of it to the hilt... y cant life be this way always...no bumps..n so very predictable.....wake up however late u wish to..eat whatever u wan...skip meals whenever u wan (dis is undoubetdly THE best part ;))....spend the entire day watchin movies, havin chilled mango colada,sittin on the bike wit wind flying thru ur hair....wow feels like heaven... oh well , ENJOY WHILE IT LASTS....

Anyway i'm mega mega excited today...i cant believe they actually starting wit 'Old Skool' on Zee Cafe.....The Wonder Years..Dowgie Howser...Who's the boss..Ally Mcbeal...i mean it seriously cant get better than this...and i'm so kicked about it...i personally believe dat out of the two Best things that has happened to television world over, one of it definitely has to be THE WONDER YEARS...(the second ,of course being, FRIENDS)..this show was such an integral part of my growing years that i seriously cant imagine my childhood without it....(it may seem like an exaggeration but do i look like i care..?)....and watching the reruns of it is like 'reliving the magic of pure unadulterated childhood'.....

well so now i have one more thing included in my 'feels like heaven' list....

well all those who'd read my last blog must've got a decent picture of what i was trying to say... basically in the pursuit for bigger and better things in life we often tend to overlook and ignore the simpler things in life that give us so much joy...well after reading the book,i decided to contribute a few instructions of my own....whatever lil i've learnt and observed in these 20 years....and with this , i would also wan everybody readin this blog to contribute a few of their own....its damn simple...we can actually make our own volume of Life's little instruction book....:)

here is wat i hace to say..
1.Don't judge people by the way they dress.Appearances are often deceptive.
2.Thank God everyday for all that He's given u.
3.Get into the habit of reading.Besides improving your vocabulary,it'l also improve your thinking.
4.Keep your promises.
5.make friends who like u for the way u are, not how they would want u to be.
6.always appreciate your mother when u know she's taken great effort to make the dish for you.
7.when u say 'i love u' , mean it.
8.Remember a good sense of humour adds spice to life
9.include your family in your prayers.
10.when adults are sick, care for them as though they were kids.

hmm so thats for now...now ur turn..:) think and contribute.....

life's little instruction book...

phew...finally done wit exam...infact done wit GRADUATION...FOR GOOD..!! cant believe dat i wouldn't be studyin for a very very long time..wow the thought itself sounds amazin...to say the least...:)
anyway so i got exactly a month in hand now before i start off wit a new chapter in my life...and i'm wonderin how to make the best the most of this time...for starters i decided to clear the mess in my room..and yest after 3 days of constant pestering from my sister when i finally decided to clear the mess in n room i came across this old collection of books which i'd thought had gotten lost, gathering dust in a corner...this collectin has the most amazin and the most cherished books i have...most of them were given to be when i was a lil kid in the 6th grade i think..They include classics like Ben Hur, Little Women and all the series of those amazing Enid Blyton books {Read- Malory towers, st claire's and the likes..} and those soul stirring Chicken soup books...but my all time favourite is the collection of what is called LIFE'S LITTLE INSTRUCTION BOOK ....I wonder how many of u hav read it..but for those who haven't, u surely are missin out on something that can literally help u change your outlook towards life..atleast that was the case with me...basically the book is about those simple lil instructions in life ,that if kept in mind, wil help us become a better individual and make our life simpler,less complicated and more pleasant.....
now for all those silly billies who havne't yet got wat it is all about ,lemme give u e few examples of some of the instructions given..
1. compliment atleast 3 people everyday
2.Never give up on anybody,miracles happen everyday.
3.remember people's birthday
4.keep your watch five mins fast
5.be romantic
6.don't allow the phone to interrupt important moments.It's there for your convenience,not the caller's.
7.when someone hugs u,let them be the first to let go
8.don't encourage rude or inattentive service by tipping the standard amount.
9.NEVER cut what can be untied.
10.Everyday show your family you love them with your words,with your touch,and with your thoughtfulness.
11.love deeply and passionately.You might get hurt,but its the only way to live life completely.
12.never say anything uncomplimentary about other's dogs.
13.when the best in the world visits your town for a concert,exhibition,or speech,get tickets to attend it.
14.never criticize a gift.
15.never leave a loved one in anger.



well i hope i hav now given u better picture of what the book is all about.....isn't it amazing...so simple yet so true...btw did i mention that i havn't yet completed cleaning up my room..;)

rarin to go !

"i'm a bitch, i'm a lover

i'm nothing in between...

Nothin lasts forever........

Tomorrow is da last day of my college life........yea, u heard it right.....no more a coll student, no more a teenager, no more a kid...my childhood is officially over.....and i still cant digest it....! i wonder if everybody goes thru these feelings...i wonder if i grew up too fast.....hav u ever reached a stage in ur life wen ur so content wit whatvever u've got dat u wan no more..... where when u sit down to pray to the Divine, all u ask for is da welfare of ur loved ones n nothing else..no selfish desires watsoever..well, i'm afraid i've reached dat stage....i'm not sure if it's good or bad but one thing is for sure....this is NOT going to last... i know things are gonna change drastically.....the bubble is gonna burst....and SOON..!!they say the biggest challenge is to face ur fears...and my biggest fear is CHANGE....I'm never prepared for it..even though i know it's on its way..and den it hits me hard....this has happened wit me before n i know its gonne happen again...imagine, not goin to coll anymore...man,the thought is so scary....college was my safe zone...when ur in coll, atleast in those three years ,life somehow gets trapped in a time wrap...everyday is a routine...and i kinda like it dat way..u know wat to expect out of ur day...and den things change n ur not ready to accept it.....also when u have ur friends, ur family wit u and u hav the liberty to spend time wit them whenever u wish to, u kinda tend to take them for granted.....and by the time u realize it..its too late..i know i'l hav to move out of this place, forced to live on my own,away from everyone i love....the thought in itself is so scary that i don even wanna acknowledge it...i've always been the dependent kinds...have always been pampered n protected.. and to make matters worse,God has been really kind to give me the best set of family n friends one can ask for...{i've used "WORSE" because it makes it even harder to let go..}trust me, no exagerration here..for those who've always wished for a perfect family and friends to die for..well,meet me...i'm livin a dream..!! but then nothing lasts forever rite...i hope i don come across as too depressin to all those who'r reading this...n for all u know things may not be as bad as i'm makin it out to be....but i'l never know til i don get there....and till den don wake me up..my dream is beautiful...!!!

Introduction!!

As u must've noticed by now,this happens to be my first blog,hence pl ignore all da spellin errors,grammatical errors n all da million other errrors dat i generally tend to make...before goin any further let me warn u bout a few things regardin my blogs..all those expecting to read a "'fine piece of literary work" ..shall be disappointed..i'm not a great writer n i don pretend to be one either..the usage of words is simple..{precisely becoz my knowledge of fancy words sucks..!} and da sentence formation is basic..{again, ignorance is bliss..!!}.....all i'm trying to do here is express my thoughts,my ideas& my ideologies without any inhibitions...NO STRINGS ATTACHED..!! also.i hav a terrible habit of driftin from one topic to another without any notice..so pl try to keep track of it..i remember reading this interesting piece of article in sunday times da other day which said dat in this 'oh so busy' fast paced life of ours..each one is cravin for their individual space..where u can jus spend time wit urself..it may be difficult to find but not completely impossible...guess writing gives us dat space na..where u can jus BE..where u can finally do away wit da mask of being someone ur not..its natural for people to judge u...by ur looks,ur clothes,ur attitude,ur 'blogs'...but da idea behind dat is to make urself immune to all da crap..trust me,it really makes life so much simpler...i learnt dis simple fact of life da hard way.. Anyway lets talk bout something more substantial here....hmmm Valentines day jus went by..wat do ya guys think bout it..they say its dat time of da year wen u let ur special one know jus how exactly special he/she is n how much u love them n blah blah blah...ask me bout it n i'l tell u wat exactly it is...HUMBUG..!!! nothing but a marketing gimmick..!! telme is there a specific day to tell ur mother how much u love her..no rite..?then y shud we give undue importance to this crap called valentines day....here,i gotta mention dat i myself am in a relationship..a great one at dat..:) but nevertheless i jus cant get myself to believe in all dis..n before u start pityin da guy i'm wit,lemme tell u dat dat we both r of da same opinion...birds of a feather flock together..?..... is dat the only day of the year when all da unhooked guys muster courage to go upto da gal n ask her out..or for da already in love couples to express their love for each other..? think bout it.. for all those guys who suffer from wat they call the "urge to splurge" who plan to make da day special by buyin diamonds n ipods n flowers n watver else u can think of..temme one thing if ur gal truly loves u,woudn't she be happier if u jus give her a simple rose wit a beautiful hand written letter expressin ur feelings...do u really need to get materialistic...can u buy love..?no offence to all those who swear by dis day of the year..all i'm trying to say is keep the spirit alive guys..try n make everyday of da year jus as special as dis one..not by splurgin..but jus by expressin ur love...u don need a specific day to acknowledge da one u love..there a lot of simpler and sweeter ways to make ur loved one feel special..and trust me da effect will be jus as good..if not better....
