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!

Unsaid Emotions!

Hi folks!

I know I haven't been posting regularly off late. Time to be on my toes!

Anyways, today's post is dedicated to a very close and an extremely special friend of mine, Bistriti!

I met this amazing girl just a day prior to my Birthday this year! Little did I know that the Almighty had been planning to gift me something really special this year, by enlightening my life with her frequent presence. She is a charmer! She is a seeker!

She occupied an immensely special place in my heart even before I could know it!

I look up to this incredible girl, for reasons more than just one!

She is strong, independent and self-made! Not to forget, she is not just beautiful, she is someone who is no less than an embodiment of inner beauty in abundance.

I've seen her getting through the worst circumstances of life, in the best of spirits. I have rarely seen her getting bogged down so easily. Her relentless passion and thirst to compromise over nothing but the Better, catches my attention and admiration almost every single day of our interaction!

I probably got to learn some of the most interesting and useful facets of life through her. Her practical and serene approach towards life just makes me go gaga over her!

She has been leading her life on her own ever since I've known her, inside-out! She has been a power-house of limitless passion, unsurmountable zeal and immeasurable tranquility! She doesn't easily gives away even to the sickest circumstances of life.

Despite staying away from family, all by herself, I have rarely seen her going astray! She is one person who exactly knows her destination in a crystal clear manner, and is striving in lieu of attaining it in the shortest span of time!

I just want to wish her good luck for her future endeavours!

I sincerely hope that you scale greater heights of success and prosperity with each passing day of your life, Bistriti! You have got to achieve loads in life!

I just want you to know, that I would be there, always!

I'm Back!

Hey chums, I took me around a month this time, to show up with a new post!

Sincere apologies for that. A lot of things have been keeping me preoccupied off late. But yet again, I couldn't just resist my urge of reverting to this self-made paradise of mine!

Things are showing signs of recovery at the univ campus! I'm having a ball of time exploring the univ life with friends. Oh! I can't even begin to tell you how much we enjoy doing this. We are a group of 5! I, Manpreet, Pooja, Navkiran and Kriti. There are others who show up once in a while and become a part of the mob:)

Its truly amazing being a part of this mini-world of ours! We share, we talk (endlessly), we frolic, we dance, we sing, we get drenched, we go crazy, we cry, we explore, we tease, we eat like gluttons, we study, we bunk lectures, we go insane, we fight??. No, we NEVER fight!

We manage to do the whackiest of things, with such ease and perefection that we surprise ourselves every single time with the outstanding results!

I just hope that the journey gets more lovelier and livelier with the course of time!

Amen!

Missing 'Life'!

Hey all! Don't get carried away with the title of this post!

I'm not going to bore you with my unending rants and ramblings. In fact, this time I'm going to 'torture' you with a confessional post :) And that means, in case if you're in a good mood at the moment, don't just squander away your joy by reading this trivial piece of my mind!

I happen to be a little low today. Why not? I guess I've every right to feel the way, I'm feeling at the moment! I've just been out of college, and have entered the big world of a university. Regardless of the wonderful time that I'm having in the univ, I'm being paranoid by constant fleeting thoughts that happen to cross my mind haphazardly!

Life in the univ is no doubt, exciting. Yet, in my heart of hearts, I still nestle and nurture countless clandestine memories about my just-lapsed college life! I miss my so-called 'former world'! I miss my friends, the warmth of whose arms held me through all these years of graduation. I miss my teachers who added some valuable facets to my personality with their never-ending warmth and affection. I miss my not-so-organised and oh-so-adorable graduation life! Trust me,I really do!

I end up missing just about anything and everything concerning my college life. And I miss my friends like crazy! It's just so disgusting, to see the people with whom I shared three beautiful years of my life, drifting away to distant lands and dreams. Most of us have now taken up diagonally opposite professions. We've all opted for varied streams in far corners of the nation and the world. The everday-bond that had been connecting us for the last years of our lives, has gradually begun to lose its lustre! Yes, and it just bleeds my heart to see my world crashing down so mercilessly!

My life has been topsy-turveyed brutally! I no more hear from people who just a few days before, meant the 'world' to me. My cellphone is no more brimming over with their text messages. Their life is no more intertwined with mine!

I so miss our times of togetherness!

I so miss having Kanika by my side, patienly listening to my neverending bakbaks. I miss Nur, the 'tweety' of my life like crazy! I miss Deepika's giggles that forced me to smile,even in the sickest of circumstances. I miss my oh-so-cherishing talks with Rucheera.

It breaks my heart when I feel their absence in my life.

Wish I hold time, and brick back the magic of the former days!

Friends forever! (Dedicated to Kanika & Nur)

The times of togetherness

might not return,

yet

the symphony of the celebrated moments,

still rings in my ears,

and

makes me think of you,

time and again!

Random Tits-bits!

My heart still reeks of the memories

that stay embedded

in the deepest recesses of my heart!

Wish I could ever unlock them

and make them see,

the light of the day!

Life,on the Move!

As I sit back and enjoy a day off in my sweet home, I am perturbed by a few fleeting thoughts, that keep haunting my mind every now and then. I feel still, as I close my eyes and lie down in retrospection. Its funny, the way my life has taken a 360 degree twist in the past couple of days. Life had never been so unpredictable and uncontrolled. I feel as if I am being weighed down by the surprises that lie in store for me.

I miss the times that I used to spend with myself! I miss being alone. I miss the late night meditation sessions. I so wish if I could still continue with my diary-writing regime. I so earnestly want to hang on to my nocturnal creative writings. I miss the times that have been left behind! I miss the times when I immersed myself into retrospection.

Somewhere in a corner of my heart, I also miss being around my old chums! I miss Kanika, Pooja, Nur, Deepika, Rucheera, Swinky so badly! I miss their pamperings! I miss the loving bonds that we shared. I miss their warmth and comfort.

Life at this juncture, is like a helpless leaf floating in the sea breeze. It doesn't knows its destnation, it doesn't knows its source. Yet, its regrets being carried away by the strong tufts of wind. I know the life that I am leading at present, is a figment of my doings! It was me who had willingly opted for this life. It was I who wanted the things to go this way. And I am very much making the most of it,yet ...

I don't know,

"Life is just Perfect, yet..."

Memory Snippets!

Its Friendships Day today!

As I opened my eyes this morning, a smile spread on my lips as I noticed a Cadbury's chocolate lying next to me on the white bedspread. Admiring this beautiful gesture,I starightaway jumped out of my bed in lieu of thanking Mum-Dad for this overwhelming surprize. Tears of joy welled up in my eyes as Mum folded me into her arms wising me Friendships Day. What a brilliant way of kickstarting this special day!

In fact, I had almost drowned in the deluge of nostalgia that had set in last night, as Friends from all walks of life began pouring in their wishes on the eve of this super-special day. My heart kept skipping beats as I continued keeping a count of the messages that adorned my cellphone. Isn't it just amazing when you get to hear from all the special people in your life, in one go?!

Memories clouded my eyes as I finally retreated to bed around 02:00 AM. It was a strage sensation revisiting the sands of time, and getting drenched in the unforgettable memories of friendships that had embellished my life, through thick and thin. I was overwhelmed with the nostalgic reminiscences that transcened me into my childhood, school and college days. Once again, the 'child' in me came to the forefront.

I have so much to share on this topic that I will probably loose count of the time and space. Before I strike another keynote in the next post, I would like to mention a few names who literally 'made my day' in the true sense of the words with their warm wishes and sweet remembrances. My heartfelt gratitude to Dipika, Kanishka, Niharika, Anuradha, Gagan, Navneet, Shubhda, Pankaj, Zoya, Bistriti, Nosheen, Maninder, Tanvi, Arsh, Raminder, Kritika, Nur, Aesha for sending over such cute wishes. They will be safely nurtured in a corner of my heart, for years to come!

By the way, Anshita, Megha, Nishant, Manmeen, Pooja, Amarbir, Charanjeev, I am still at the waiting end???!

Friendship, and beyond!

On the eve of Friendship day, my heart goes out to my web of friends scattered all around the globe. Memory snippets flash into my mind as I am struggling to come up with the right words. It is indeed a tough task, describing the essence of relationships through words! Giving dimensions to them, would demean their very sanctity and aesthetics.

Friendship, one of the greatest gifts of Almighty bestowed upon the mankind, deserves no explanation!

Friendship...ahem!

I can't even begin to tell what difference has this term brought to my life! Trust me,when I say that my life couldn't have been as 'liveable' as it now is, had 'friends' not been an integral part of it.

I am falling short of words in describing some of the best facets of friendships that changed my life forever, for the better!

Just want to say,

"Thanks you chums, for adding a dollop of love and blessings to my life."
