Finally found it

I have been writing on this blog for like 3 years and more but a girl who started blogging just a few days back taught me what real blogging is.

I had been suggested by one of my readers but I always ended up with a '?' .
But yesterday, while I was reading this girls blog, I finally found out that I don't write wrong but I need to work out on the ways of my writing. Simple.

Things should be short, sweet and simple.

In this 21st century, everyone is busy with their some or the other routinely work or something or the other. Who has got the time to read all those long paragraphs, Noone !
What can I expect from any random person reading my blog when I myself don't read such long passages until and unless they grab my interest !

So from now onwards I am gonna follow this. Try improve on my writing skills definitely ... haha !!!

Well actually I shouldn't tell you what I'm gonna do or not.. let the try be a surprise. I might be good at it...

Thanks #soulsister... Ms. Forum Damani... In a day you made me understand that thing which no one could in 3 years. Not even my brains :)

Thank You Miss Damani

Keep reading me...

Vacation ... note 1

Although I've updated quite a couple of times before this about the wonderful time and different feelings I'm experiencing in Gwalior.

But today I realized that although I've shared about my time in Gwalior but I never mentioned how actually Gwalior is .
Today lets start with that.
I'll make you friendly with this small city in Madhya Pradesh where my mother started her jouney.
She was born and brought up here in Gwalior.
It has its historic significance and occupies the major part in Madhya Pradesh.
It was ruled under Scindia which belong to Maratha clan. At the heart of Gwalior is the Gwalior fort that belongs to the Tomar dynasty.The massive Gwalior Fort, popularly called "the Gibraltar of India", overlooks the city.

Today, on my way to my great grandmothers house I was actually observing the city transport.
Mainly you'll find tempos and rickshaws but their type gives you that town feeling.
A feeling of a city as well as a village , both at the same time. This is how I see through my eyes and feel about it.

While passing through the cantonment area, I get a feeling of pride for our soldiers who're fighting for us at the border protecting our lives.
The areas where they live, their mess and everything gives a weird kind of a feeling which is simply awesome in itself.


My great grandmother lives in this area called birla mandir.
I've spent a great part of my childhood there . There is also this temple where I used to go with my mother's aunt and worshiped.


There is this swing of blue colour where I used to sit whole day long with Sheru (pet).
Its still there. Sitting there remembering all those childhood memories, swinging to and fro, feet rubbing against the wet green grass, It was so soothing.
I always go ans spend some time there.
Spotting whatever I used to do in front  of that swing, in front of whosoever sitting on it.
I used to dance on the song 'sharara sharara' from the movie 'mere yaar ki shadi hai'(bollywood).
Things were so plain, simple but best in its own way.
My grandpa has an amazing garden. I used to spend a great time there as well dancing around the tress, plants and those beautiful colorful flowers creating my own fairytale stories and enacting the characters. Ah !!! Now I see .. I was multi - talented since birth :)

Something happening apart from your daily schedule, meeting old relatives, knowing your mothers childhood friends, etc. marks its own importance.

I also learnt few things. I am not scared to accept that I was in love that is tending to fail but I need to stand for myself. I need to let it go because no one has got the right to wind or unwind the key of my life. It's okay I failed, but that doesn't mean that I failed for life.
I have my maa, my sister and my favorite friends who are always gonna be there for me, stand by my side for whatever it is, good or bad, failure or success. I don't need to be dependent on someone who simply keeps on walking in and out.

I know this is the story of my life, my feelings and emotions but I am 110% sure that every girl or a guy faces this. keeping aside the exceptions.

"Whatever you do in life will be insignificant but its very important that you do it because nobody else will!"
-a friend


Since morning I am humming this song 'manchalaa manchala teri ore' !

sayonara for today...

Things I'd love to share...

These days I'm happy that I'm able to be regular ...

There are so many small things I am experiencing and enjoying during my vacations.
It's wonderful when I enjoy with my uncle and aunt. Their sweet, loving, caring and beautiful relation... the way my uncle teases my aunt .. that smile on her face...
Man... she becomes red..blushing blushing...
That's something which I miss in someones life who is very important to me !

There are many other small things which I'll share ...

The way every afternoon I spend with my younger brother watching movie.
I also realized today that how boring this movie "Rio 2" was ! I literally watched that movie because we patiently downloaded it and waited 3 long days for the download to complete.

One of the most important part of the day is when I spend time with myself. It's simply beautiful !
I listen to songs , walk to and fro at the same place and just imagine how can I make my life more better and amazing to live in.

That feeling when you meet your mom after a month... its just simply awesome and a bit emotional.
I know 1 month isn't a big deal because there are people  all around the world who're away from their family in different cities, states and countries for studies and work, who don't meet their family for like years .
But to be honest, I am obsessed with my mother.
Badly!!!

There are things in every ones life which one usually won't recall or want to listen again and again because that can only make you weak .
I too have that but I am happy as I am able to cope up greatly. But there are times when I just loose my patience and that feeling of guilt surrounds me. I know, I was the bridge for the bad thing to happen but still is it all because of me ????

Anyways, thanks to forum and Rakesh. Recently (last night), when I felt such .... they were (specially forum)  there to console me.
Thanks to lord for giving everyone that someone who's there at the time of your need, happiness, etc.
Thank you!!!

I wanted to come on this vacation since a long time.
I also realized and got a clear picture of what steps I gotta take after a year when I complete my diploma(2015).

I also wanna share about this friend Rakesh... who is becoming a good friend.
It's really scary at times to meet new people but then sometimes I feel that everyone isn't bad.
Maybe I am lucky enough that my friendship life is quite stable unlike my family.
Actually my family is stable.
I just presume things too much at times.

Also, it's amazing to talk to an old friend who was kind of a childhood enemy at one point of time.
It's incredible actually !

More experiences to add up...

Subconcious Feelings ...

Most of the times I connect to things which were never an important part in my life .
Like today morning while I was helping my aunt in the kitchen, I remembered Bhalla aunty who had a grocery store where my aunt lived before. I remember how frequently I visited her store for some or the other thing. I also remember her son who was kind of mentally retarded. I was very young enough to understand that he wasn't a character from some horror movie . I was too scared to face him whenever I visited the store.

 There are so many things/people/feelings our mind comes across and then it even forgets in a very short while.

I really don't understand whatever I write but I am happy because I see how my fingers get connected to the balanced bridge between my mind and my heart. That's the best part of whatever I write. I am of course not sorry about it.


I wonder, does this happen with everyone or it's just me.
I don't intend to make a big mountain of what I feel. It's me!
There are a few people who might not like this ME... but I'm happy with whatever I am.
It just simply completes me !

Bangalore moments

Finally, got a proper internet connection to update my blog.
I really feel sorry for ANTAS at times..  as I am the most irregular one!

After the last time I updated my blog, so many things happened.... few people got added up in the list of friends in my life.
Let me name them first , Soumya and unexpectedly Ravis'  brother Rakesh.
Well, I visited Bangalore for one of my friend cum dada's (vathsav) wedding. It was a great time traveling with Ravi.
I can still feel that excitement in my voice when I reached Bangalore. To be  honest I really don't remember the place where I got down. The stop was called 'magestic' .
I was so happy !


Anyways , in that tired condition we reached the convention hall and had that proper South Indian Lunch in their proper South Indian style on Banana leaf.
The feeling was incredible.
I always wanted to attend a friends wedding that to in South India.
I know how I keep on reminding Vikram (batchmate at IIGJ) to invite me and Forum for his wedding to Salem, a small town in South India.

Anyways, It was a Saturday and my friends made it 'The Best Saturday' of my life. Lemme introduce to people who I was hanging around with. Santosh (obvio), Kiran , Khushboo, Seema , Prachi , Pavan , Ravi (ofcorse) , and yeah.... superb soumya... !
It's really difficult to recollect how but I am happy, soumya became a great friend.


That day was an alchoholic Saturday for me!
Noon alchoholic (beer) and night was AMAZINGLY alchoholic too !
Tanjul Sarkar was drunk.
This isn't something I need to announce but I am happy because it was one of the wishes on my wishlist.
It's amazing to see your wishes coming true and no more residing in the wish list.

It's sometimes great, when you don't remember some part of your life but at the same time you miss the fun !
That's bad !
 Real Bad !
Haha!!!

Anyways , the next day finally the big day arrived...Wedding. It was great to see those rituals happening, that traditional drum beats and all .. was loud but serene.
The feel again was awesome.
When you visit different places in India itself you really understand your country and are proud to be an Indian. I am proud too !

But again,  food is something which makes you forget every damn thing. I know I am a type of girl who wants to enjoy everything instead of  cribbing about it but god knows what happened to me, I was cribbing. I wanted to have a proper meal but only north indian food.
This doesn't mean that I was insulting their culture or something, but my silly tongue man. Irresistible !
I started to crave for chinese.
Afternoon was good. Spent time in the most unexpected company (khushboo) at CCD and the tagline was perfect for the situation as we became great friends ! ( 'A lot can happen over coffee')

Anyways, my wish was granted . Santosh , Ravi , Khush and me went out for proper chinese dinner to 'Chungwaah' !

Again it was one of the memorable nights without being alchoholic !

The next day, it was great to visit a mall named after your bestfriend, although unintentionally .
I did a lil shopping at Archies ... bought a mothers day card for maa.

Then Ravis' brother joined us and I'd thank him for taking us to this amazing place for lunch "truffles". Again it turned out to be awesome and its a great pleasure to see your friends enjoying "cheeseburst lamb burger" :)
Ooops I forgot to mention how badly I was into vulture hunting but sadly didn't find any !

I should not forget to mention how much I missed this amazing person whom I call Chatter (Chaitanya)... hope we could catch up next time.  Also wanna be with my 4%ers... 12 altogether!

Still I was happy because this activity of mine made my friends laugh . That's the best part of everything.
I had a moment of my life.

Would love to have such unexpected moments..

Out of the blues !!!

Again a weird  title I suppose !
Let me confess how bad I am when it comes to setting up some title for anything , an essay , design , etc.

Sometimes you get to realize big things in small ways like I did now.
I have never realized how few people start making difference in your life.
Yes , I am talking about one of my best friends Manas.
No doubt we are great friends, but few situations and timings make things appear at a very crossroad of confusions.
Although there isn't big confusion between us but just to consider, such situations do happen. Luckily our situation is far better as it has a bridge of faith, trust and friendship.

Ha! I smile, sitting in front of this laptop of mine, wondering how my cellphone needed Manas and he was at his rescue.
I haven't met him for quite a long time which no doubt seem  to me like ages, and finally he was here today.
No doubt we are busy with our life, his job, my studies but still I realize over time how important it is to keep in touch with those friends who never left your side even at that time when your were standing on a sheet of nails (difficult times).

Thanks for being there, Manas. Though spent quite a very less time as compared to before what we used to spend, still it was miraculous. I am happy that I have you.


Thanks for everything, my lifeguard :)
