...pages of life!

I absolutely love the smell of fresh pages of a new book :)

Reminder

I leave for Pune tomorrow. College. Another Semester. Another Year.  Packing almost done. I am scared I'll be grossly overweight this time. I am talking about my luggage here though. I have put on a lot of weight too. From chubby to chubbier. Yet I am still to fall in that "overweight" category. Or so I'd like to believe. No matter what some people say. In the past two days, I have met two classmates/seniors from high school, who from being twice my size have turned half. Since then, I have been in misery. Pain. Anguish. Depressed. In distress. After I reach Pune, this post shall be a glaring reminder for me. To eat. The right kind of food. In the right quantity. Hopefully, the next time I am home, I shall be in proper shape. I promise not to binge eat. To myself.

This is where I come from :)

Between the southern bank of the Brahmaputra river and the foothills of the Shillong plateau - Guwahati

A way out

The best way to make peace is to talk it out. With yourself.

Up in the air

My love for long flights. After the last one, this time it is Guwahati-Calcutta-Chennai-Pune :p

Lost!

I came back from a vacation to find my laptop formatted. Hence all data lost. The photographs, the documents, the notes saved and collected over time gone. If that wasn't enough, yesterday I formatted my phone and lost all contacts. The pictures. Very disappointed I am. Makes me hate technology, where a single click can delete everything. What power bestowed! If the human mind was half as strong. But then again, at times like these, it is the memory that comes to the rescue. Paradox.

And then again

I have been craving to blog. Been away too long! Though I really want to post now, I have to go out for a birthday party. Remember the birthday parties we used to go to while we were in school? As kids? The balloons and the caps? Those awesome games? Dark room and blindfolds? I just did.

That might have changed over the years but when you're out with school friends, the excitement is still the same. There is always so much. :)

In search for an answer

One question that occurs to me. Now and then. One that I love to brush aside. It struck me again a few days back.

Having seen where our moves land us, if life had a rewind button, would I do certain things differently?

Do you have an answer? 'Coz I have none.

To a T-Hail-Land

Just back from a holiday with friends. It was fantastic to say the least. Oodles of fun. Like the title goes, it was to the T - just perfect. Hailed to the land of smiles, we were not disappointed in any way. For starters, I'll leave you with this pic of us :D

Actually, the only one I had of the five of us :p

And, the one who clicked the pic. The one who was always there. Thank you for showing us around Bangkok the way you did. It wouldn't have been the same without you :)

Our Story

Like the whispering winds sway the trees

The breeze gently sweeps across my face

I see you smiling, standing

I think I have found at last

What I was looking for

Till old thoughts come flooding back

Of how I had broken into pieces

But you turn it all around

You, a stranger come to pass

The dark sky brightens 

Turns a brilliant blue

And this is nothing like I felt before 

There is a calm within, different

A feeling this love will forever last

And this moment will forever be

This is just how our story begins

Life awaits :)

Hangover 3 ?

Six months ago, five friends decided to go on a vacation. Sitting at the college grounds the idea was born. Contemplated. Calculated. Decided. To Bangkok it would be.

Six months later, the day arrives. Tomorrow, the journey begins. More on it when I am back.

Till then,
Miss Me 

Crayon : paint my life!

On certain days, you feel like writing. Little. More. Most. Of everything. Without trying to be so discrete. It does not matter who reads it and who does not. Who will judge you and who will not. This post has been pending for a long time now. But for certain reasons I kept postponing it for later. Maybe because the person is an important one in context. Hoping someday I would gather enough "indifference" to help me go ahead with it. I guess that time has come. 

Here's a person who is one of his kind. Who entered my life like a whiff of fresh air. Who changed me from who I was to who I am. Who taught me that I could share what was mine with others too. And it ain't that difficult, after all. Maybe because that "other" was you. So this someone I met, is probably the most straightforward and frank person, in a long long while. Our meeting maybe wasn't sheer coincidence. I'd like to believe it was destined. We clicked instantly. He said one thing, I said another, and another, and another.  The next thing I knew, I absolutely loved the company of this person. He brought forth my tacit thoughts so clear. Our conversations almost always ran into hours. Little by little, I got to know you. I soon realised that you were not the one you portrayed to be. Not the person I believed you to be. You were nicer. The hard from outside, soft from inside kinds. Like a coconut.

You make me happy in a very different way. It is a nice feeling when I wake up every morning and I know that there is someone somewhere with whom I can be me. From my crankiest best to my happiest high. It's funny how I wait for the clock to strike 5.30, then 1, and then 11. Even when I have so many people around me and my days are abuzz with activity, it is surprising how my day is dependent on someone miles away!

PS. This post was scheduled for later. Just to tell you I will miss you a lot in these 8 days. June is not far. See you soon!

Stylish, really?

Going through my Google Reader, I was surprised and happy to be bestowed the 'Stylish Blog Award' by the wonderful Casey of True Colours, one of my favourite blogs! Thanks so much. It feels awesome :D

The rules are simple. To thank and link back to the person who gave you the award. Reveal seven things about yourself. And bestow the award on ten great bloggers you have recently discovered and have come to love.

So here it goes. All about me.

1. I am the biggest foodie ever. It is one thing that makes me happy. Wherever, whenever. I feel hungry. All the time.

2. I am the clumsiest person you would have ever met. I trip over stairs, carpets and yes, sometimes even over myself.

3. I love fairy tales, happy endings and bright colors. I want my life to be as colourful as this.

And my heart never fails

‎"It's impossible." said pride. 

"It's risky." said experience. 

"It's pointless." said reason. 

"Give it a try." whispered the heart.

Conversation Excerpts

It's funny how sometimes thinking of something 4 years hence gives so much joy and laughter. Such meticulous planning in detail. I am astounded. But maybe because the person is you, I cannot but grin. It sounds like a dream in this jumble of life. No matter what I say, I want to be a part of it too. That is the naked truth! ;)

Some decisions

A lot of decisions are made. Some, sometimes in a lot of haste. I like going with the flow. I, for one, have not been the kinds who always chalk out a plan of action. Carefully strategize. Life has a lot to offer. I enjoy whatever it does. Many a times your actions have more of an effect on others than it has on you. It won't exactly be correct to call myself a non-thinking person. For I do think. But later. After the moment has passed. After the consequences borne. I think back. Reflect on where I might have gone wrong or what I could have done differently to avoid certain things. Whether I am successful or not in doing so, I take in everything as if it was just meant to happen. For a reason. I love appearing tougher than I really am. And sometimes it's just not easy. 

Bygones

Sometimes it's nicer to let bygones be bygones. Maybe I'll never forgive but I CAN always forget!

Note to Self - It is better to do what I can do, than to crib about something I cannot. Period.

Flights of Fantasy

I’ve met a lot of creative imaginative people. Not being one myself, they have never failed to impress me. Their different take on things. Their off-beaten tracks. Their unrestrained fancies. Amaze me. It is funny how fantasies defy logic. How they bewilder many. Yet the beliefs they continue to stir. Is strange. It makes a sad mind happy. Gives support to a lonely person. It helps avoid the unavoidable. Turn things inside out. Reach that space and time where you “want” to be. Strange to admit but it brings in a different kind of positivity. That much needed break. A respite from the ordinary.

Such be the case, who wouldn’t want those occasional flights of fantasy? I wonder.

This Moment

Raya Hazarika totally loves the "snooping" around! Another Sherlock Holmes on the prowl :)

In love with the Green

Of late, I have faced a stumbling block every time I sat down to write. Maybe it was time to infuse some freshness in my blog. I thought to myself. I am a person who loves change at regular intervals. Of a very mercurial nature.

The colour, Green, signifies a positive change, good health, growth, fertility, healing, hope, vigour, vitality, peace, and serenity. Exactly what describes my life at the moment. *Touchwood* I therefore, decided to apply this “refreshing” new blog template!
