Occasional Ramblings!

Off late, I have realized that almost 90% of people on the face of this earth, fail to respect and reciprocate the feelings of others. And an even larger number fail to express their heartfelt thoughts and emotions at just about the right time!

Do they even realize how torturing it is for those, who don't fall into such abuser categories?

Let me just put it upfront! Its painstaking for ultra-sensitive and emotionally weak people like me, who literally thrive on lighter things of life viz. feelings and emotions.

The feeling of not being 'understood' or being 'misinterpreted' or 'taken for granted' is just about one of the most miserable experiences that one can go through in one's life! Furthermore, the feeling of not being understood 'the-right-way' is so damn harrowing that I probably, would fail to put it into words...

In the End, it doesn't Even Matter!

She is happy!

happy to be alone

happy to be cursed

happy to be abused

happy to be rebuked

happy to be forgotten

happy to be scoffed at

happy to be neglected

happy to be all by herself

happy to have been cheated upon

happy to have been relegated to the backdrop

happy to have lost the sense of belongingness!

In the end,

she is still happy to be 'who she is'!

That's why I say,

"In the end, it doesn't even matter!"

You Taught Me the Meaning of Life!

I had been sailing on the waters of life

like a rudderless boat bereft of its direction

until my eyes chanced upon you one fine day;

relishing the hard hitting rains on your wobbling legs

trying to capture the heavenly bliss in your twinkling eyes.

I saw you getting drenched in the exquisite beauty of that fond moment

collecting a handful of rain drops in your tender fists

the divinity of nature reflecting immaculately in your innocent eyes

the bliss of the divine blessings radiating their aura,

on your admirable face

Enamored by the vivacity of that tender moment

I retreated to my inner self,

resuming my journey towards self exploration

with a never before zest and ecstasy!

A Nostalgic End!

Isn't it amazing how life never fails to surprise us with its topsy-turvying circumstances?!

Strange, I tell you, are the ways of life.

So, with this I would like to pour my heart out on a recent experience that touched my heart in ways more than one! Finally, after a whirlpool of thoughtful decisions and ambiguities, my stint at CueBlocks came to an end. CueBlocks was my first job ever! I joined it sometime in May this year, May 11th to be precise.

My stint at Cue gave me a world of memories to remember and cherish all my life, I met some of the finest people in the world during my sojourn here. I got to know some real good people, whose memories and goodness would remain etched in my heart for years to come, Nosheen, Pancham Sir and Deepshikha di being the prominent ones!

A Wish!

Broken ties of unfathomable love,

still nestle hopes of

reliving the glory of the

cherished times together.

Together or not,

memories would always

bring us together as,

"friends till eternity!"

It's been about some months since I reverted to any of the tags, dropped in by friends and fellow bloggers. Time to be on my toes.!

Currently playing - 'You're beautiful' by James Blunt.

Let my Blog say it all

I happened to read these lines somewhere,

"Life is not about the times that you BREATHE,

i'ts about the times that TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY!"

Kudos to the author! What an incredible way to putting the real essence of life into perspective. I truly second his opinion. Indeed, life isn't just about leading a life of humdrum monotony,living everyday exactly like the day before.

As far as my take on life goes, I believe in leading a life of retrospection and reciprocation. I know I might sound a bit too intellectual or philosophical at this point of time, but trust me that's not what I'm trying to project. I've been a fun-seeker all my life or may be more of a 'seeker'. I don't feel embarrassed at all in confessing that I still indulge myself in Cindrella dreams, at the age of 21. As if this isn't enough, I still believe that dreams do come true after all! Having said that, I would also like to add that I've had my share of extreme dissatisfactions as well. Time and again,I've been jolted out of my illusionary dispositions. But hey, that doesn't stops me form dreaming again! Does it? or should it?

Nay!

I still yearn for more dreams, more such moments that would perhaps, 'take my breath away'. And thanks to Almighty's grace, there have been many till this very juncture.I would love to ponder and delve into them in my next post, now that I'm back to blogging! I just hope that the unbridled passion that is flowing in my veins keeps the momentum going :-)

Blogging! Nothing like it!

As I look back and think about the months gone by, I am gripped by a sense of achievement and amazement! It has exactly been a year since I dedicated myself whole-heartedly to this blog.

Needless to say, it has been a hiatus for my emotions in the true sense of the words. I guess, life wouldn't have been that easy had I not surfaced my inner conflicts at this place, time and again.

This blog stood by me in times, when I needed an emotional buffer the most! It came up as a surrogate mother, with whom I could share all my trials and tribulations effortlessly. It came up as a true friend who stood by me through the roughest of circumstances. At times, I found myself wonderfully amazed with the emotional solace that came my way through this blog. It was through this place that I got to meet some of the most wonderful people in my life. Exploring blogosphere has been an out-and-out experience in itself!

I sometimes rue the fact, that my hectic schedules don't give me the privilege to pour my heart out any longer. But that doesn't stop me from loving my blog all the more further. I miss this incredible place like anything! It has been a Saviour in the true sense of the words. And probably, nothing ever would stop me from documenting the highs and lows of my life here.

Thanks, Nostalgic Reminiscences!

The Parting Words!

We met, joined hands

shared our lives,

became a part of them,

and now its time, to bid adieu.

We made memories,

filled the photo albums,

shared our darkest secrets,

giggled over cups of coffee,

exchanged friendship bands,

laughed and cried together,

and now its time, to bid adieu.

We held hands,

cuddled beside each other,

wiped each other's tears,

brought smiles to our lives,

made them all the more,beautiful

and now its time, to bid adieu.

We stood by each other,

through the sickest of circumstances,

sailed through the rough times holding hands,

arrived at the threshold of womanhood,

and now its time, to bid adieu.

We stumbled over at times,

nursed each other's words,

learnt from such mistakes,

made silent moves together,

towards a better tomorrow,

and now its time, to bid adieu.

We weaved dreams,

rectified our faults,

mended the broken hearts,

meant the world to each other,

celebrated the times of our togetherness,

yet now its time, to bid adieu!

Cheers to the good times ahead!

Since its the Friendships' month, the flavour of posts on this blog is bound be 'Friendship'!

I just love this picture. It captures the essence of friendship in a beautiful way.

I dedicate this picture to all my friends. Old, existing and new!

Since my old friends have been mentioned on this blog a couple of times. I now take the priviledge of enlisting the neames of a few of my new ones. The wings of our friendship have just started fluttering, and I believe that we'll travel a long way together, and plant countless cherishing memories in the years to come.

This one is for you all - Pooja, Shubhda, Navkiran, Kriti, Karan, Manpreet, Sumedha, Varuna and many more!
