A memoir of the past

-
Past is beautiful. You always remember the good and forget the bad. May be that is why we always miss our past life, the childhood,the unmarried life, the college life and the school life. We forget the difficulties and challanges that were present in the past, but always miss the happy moments. We remeber the laughter and gossip sessions of school, But we forget the difficult task of waking up early for school bus and scoldings of teachers and parents. We remember the beautiful hostel days of college with friends, the classroom fun time, but we forget the long college hours, inconvenience of a distant washroom in hostel, burden of assignments and semester exams. We forget the plenty days of boredom and loneliness of unmarried life, but we remember all the caeefree and adventrous days of that life. This makes me conclude that life is always full of good and bad. We anyways will forget the bad eventually, so why to cry over them now. Accept the life the way it comes and yo...

Twilight

Every twilight reminds me  Each Transition is beautiful ❤️💕 From unknown to known From weakness to strength From ignorance to awareness The mighty sun is subsiding. The calm moon is claiming it's territory. The sky is filled with vibrant colours, The elegance and beauty of which my camera could not capture. The colourful sky dissolved every thought I had at the moment The hurt was healed The worries became hope The weakness became strength

A 3 year old entry from my diary

-
  Growing Up  I was always told from childhood that growing up is difficult . That the more we grow, the more complex life becomes. Yet like every other kid I was excited to grow and be independent and free and earning and rich.  I was impatient to grow and leave behind studies, and and not to worry about exams.  But every time I grew up and gained a little freedom, I rejoiced. When I left school and entered college, I felt more liberated. I was away from home and parents. I could now go out and buy stuffs for me. I went for outings and made friends and I was free to spend the time the way I wanted except the college time. Even college classes were more about freedom. Our teachers were more friendly and open to us.  I learnt a lot of new things. Though they were small and might not sound significant but they made me feel awesome. From buying lingerie to buying pads to buying pain killers for that time of the month. Everything was tough initially. I was shy of al...

Realisation hits a lonely soul

So I came to a new country last week to settle for a year. The office remains almost same as in India, a little less facilities may be e.g. no free coffee vending machines. Singapore it is. I was excited about this. I always wanted to settle into a new country on my own. I always wanted to see the life abroad.  I was super excited.  I was earning and saving decent in India and had a higher paying job offer, and many close friends there. I had a fully setup beautiful home to stay and a familiar and friendly flatmate, who was at times, a great company.  I had everything figured out in India I felt, I knew of great shopping destinations offline and online. I had a huge collection of dresses and shoes and handbags and you name anything. I was in love with my possessions. I had my family nearby.  But I wanted to come out of my comfort zone and experience a new dimension of life. I was always curious about how people in other country stay.  So I gave up my comfortabl...

An Introspection

-
Sometimes  I go back in time, when you were a titillating sensation. When I was so lost in present , I could not think about consequences, which could be bright or dark or a mixture. I just loved the present. I liked you, I wanted you, I was missing you sitting right beside you. I wanted to be in present, I wanted to follow my heart, without thinking of past and future. The present moment was the only truth I knew. But then reality struck, an ugly painting of past, future and present. Or maybe reality was still present, but the virtual reality of past made my present gloomy. Maybe past overshadowed my present. My heart was intertwined among past, present and future. Today I realize present was always simple and beautiful. Thought of separating from the past, apprehensions of future made my present complex. My present did not fit in my past and apprehensive future. Past was gone, future was yet to come and I ruined my present. Maybe the best I could have done was live a...

Friendship, travel

-
Image
So I wanted to meet my dearest college friend Soni. We were close in college and became closer at our first workplace. We were at the same location for training. Then we we moved to different companies and then different cities. So we had hardly met in last few years, yet the modern day technology kept us close through phones and social media. It was end of the year and both of us wanted a break from routine life. Besides sharing each others secret, we do share common interest in travelling. She lived in Gurgaon and I lived in Bangalore. We decided to meet in Goa on a 5 day trip. Goa where we could be lost in nature and attend late night parties too. It is overwhelming to meet a person so close , after such a long time, a person who has seen you grow and has grown with you. All of us have one friend who knows us in and out, who we trust with our darkest thoughts and actions, without the fear of being judged. Soni is that kind of friend, we resonate thoughts, it is like when we a...

The Rippling Effect

-
I was not in a good mood today due to various reasons. But now I am feeling wonderful. I am feeling awesome. I just want to concentrate on this awesomeness. Ahh the beautiful Ted videos gave me proof that happiness is a choice. You can have it without any conditions. Such wise talks, thanks to all wonderful people who participate in it. Thanks to them for sharing the wisdom they acquired with us. All due to hearing this wonderful lady Saisha Srivastava in Ted Talks followed by Ted Talk of Aisha Choudhary. Both of them were beautiful young lady. Both of them talked about happiness. Saisha started her conversation with a diagram of universe and showing how our existence is a tiny s pec in that huge and unbounded system. She points out how after seeing this, two entirely opposite thought pattern is invoked in the mind. Either people realize themselves as a part of a vast system, and feel that everything is affected by their existence or they conclude themselves as ...
