BITTERSWEET

today is a bittersweet day... bitttteeeersssswwweeeeeet!
that's 'coz it was the last day of exams and the much needed freedom actually arrived. (gaaah! I know freedom is a state of the mind and all that. But I need the holidays). Also it's the last day of this year. My first year in degree college. I can't believe how fast time flew, the people I've studied with FOR A WHOLE YEAR!!! aaaaah! getting nostalgic... all the pranks we played, all the fun we had, all the presentations and projects, all the studies we did, all the teachers we were taught by, the goof-ups and damage conrol, all the conspiracies against the management (heeheee)... everything seems nice.
we are never going to get this time back but I'm glas we made full use of it. The class is amazing and we have amazing, talented people who will make their mark on the world. The teachers may have given us hell but most of the time their classes were fun. If the next two years are gonna pass like this... I'm gonna be left wallowing in the past... Bittersweet.

memories will come flooding back in 10 years time but for now I just wanna enjoy the wonderful class God has given me. LOVE YOU ALL PEOPLE!!! (yeah including the principal!)

C’est la vie!!!

Picture this –typical college day. You arrive at college and see one of your friends. “Heyyyyy!” goes the high-pitched yell and you hug. But if you could read their thoughts you’d be shocked because at the back of their minds they’d be thinking, “What an idiot. Her T-shirt’s stuck in her fly!” They’d be sniggering behind your back and smiling amiably at you. Ah! The paradox of life!
Ever realized when it comes to the crunch and you are left standing all alone? YES! That’s exactly what I’m talking about. People have become superficial and are out to gain. During exam time do you feel like the most popular person –don’t. They’re just after your notes. You put your trust into somebody and think that this is as close to best friendship as it can get when suddenly your bubble bursts when the other person finds ‘popular’ friends and you were too boring to hang out with anyway!!!
These are just some of the examples that are strewn along the path of growing up. It’s not restricted to adolescence but throughout life you will find people like these. A flawless mask behind which flawed people hide. You are so carried away till you realize you are stuck in quicksand.
When you are honest and open why can’t the other person be honest also? People are out only for material gain and don’t care how many people they trample to reach their goals. They will shake your hand and shoot you in the back. C’est la vie!!! Stereotyped images of people often tend to mislead us. Instead of looking for perfect people maybe we should accept the fact that we are all human. If black stands for bad and white for good –who’s black or white? Everyone’s gray and in this gray you find many shades.
In this world there is SUCH a need to fit in, that you are willing to forfeit your own identity to blend in with the rest. Here is when people’s insecurities come to the surface and in masking them hurt other people.
The world is not going to change. If it makes you happy to trust people –then trust; but realize that there is a glossy veil before your eyes and if it suits you to change –then change, but don’t forget that in changing as an individual you are changing your destiny. What goes around comes around!
To all those who wear their heart on their sleeves--- cut off your sleeves.

I see the light!!!

i thought i lost my way...and i had
i didnt feel the need to write anymore. I didnt love my pen and paper. my thoughts were stagnant...and i thought i had passed the phase of my life, the writing phase. it didnt give me joy anymore.
but i was wrong. all it took was a friend and a little wisdom to guide me back to light.
eternal sunshine they may say... it's true. the light never went out, it just got hidden behind this cloud.

The world's going bonkers

If you look at the current political situation and the situation 100 years ago it doesn't seem to have changed. May be a bit of throwing around of power here and there. but all in all the situation's really sticky. It' like being in the middle of an inferno and saying, "hey I'm okay!!!" when you are not. everyone's wanting superpower status and the US is busy guarding it's top spot. have you see the way US and Britain are always running to hde in each other's skits and patting each other on the back. It's like the mutual admiration society! There are these courageous countries like France that take a stand and don't back down. Then there is Russia that says, " Peace bro! I'm friends with you all!!!" India and pakistan always at loggerheads had running to big brother US or nicely evading the problem for as long as they can. It's so funny, when you look at the pictures of Prez Musharraf and PM Singh shaking hands they are all sugar and honey but in their minds they are swearing at each other!!! HAHAHA!!! Me as a commoner can only laugh at all the fun. then there's te dragon China that surfaces blowing fire and makes the superpowers shake and shiver with fear. The little football UN that's being kicked around merrily by them all.
It just make you wonder at what's happening with the world!!!

Never waste what you've been given!!!

A malnourished child eating. A heart rending sight that makes you wonder why the fates are against this little being. But we who haev excess wate and waste more. Food has always been freely available for us that's why we don't know its worth. My mum always told me " be hungry for a day and you won't waste food for the rest of your life". Look at this pitiful picture and tell me if it doesn't pull on your heartstrings???
don't waste anything for it may not come again!!!

Breathtaking beauty!!!

I was rushing past life at breakneck speed (and I'm only 17) when a friend sent me this picture. MY LORD. i just realized how much of life i was missing, rushing past. let this inspire you. let it help you find the meaning of life, like it helped me. i stopped, waited and thought.

Everything that goes around comes around!!!

I've had a feeling of being wronged. nothing's fair unless it's MY way. selfish human nature talking here!!! But the age old concept 'Karma' or simply 'as you sow so shall you reap' takes over. Either you get a taste of your own medecine or you don't waste your time plotting revenge. why is the world stuck on peoploe's bad instead of searching for the good in them. when you say you want friends look inside and ask if YOU are a good friend to others. So no matter how fast you try and escape all those deeds will catch up with you- good or bad and you will get what you gave.
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!!!

THE INNER VOICE

It’s that time of the night when everyone’s asleep. At least everyone in your time zone. The night is black outside save for the stars in the sky and the few lights twinkling in the distance. The cool night breeze blows in your face but sleep evades you. You are wide-awake and your thoughts are loud and clear in the night. You have the house to yourself. Don’t make the mistake of switching on the T.V. Sit and connect with your thoughts. Your inner soul has been crying out to listen. But in the hustle and bustle of life you have ignored it. No, put down that coffee cup. Start experiencing what people travel all the way to the Himalayas to experience. Yes, you can hear your thoughts sorting out. Hmm… yesterday’s problem at work, or that project which you couldn’t complete. All your muddled thoughts have unraveled and presented themselves before you. You just realize that your productivity is at it’s best when the world sleeps.Your body is tired from a hard day’s work. Sit down cross-legged near the window. Keep a single dim light on. Hear the past speak to you. It will tell you what the future holds. Your brain is fired up. You want to keep on working, keep on thinking. But this tryst with your thoughts won’t last. Sleep steals over you cunningly, subtly. Your eyelids get heavy and your brain switches off. The time has passed. Some other time some other truth will be revealed. For now just…sweet slumber.
