Not less than family

   It's said," When destiny forgets to tie some people in blood relations, it corrects it's mistake by making them Best Friends ." The saying holds true to me.     I've always made friends, since kindergarten till today while I'm doing my Masters. Friends have always been an integral part of my life . I wouldn't imagine a life without them. May be it's because my best friends have always been elder to me. I like being treated as a younger one. I carve having an elder sibling which my friends have always fulfilled.    You don't choose your friends, it happens, friendship blossoms. There are never right and wrong friends, its up to you what you imbibe from whom and I've always been lucky. The friends that I made in school are still closest to me. We never chat, this social networking isn't made for us but when we meet, probably once a month, it's no less than a festival. I make it a point, however busy I am, atleast once a month I meet ...

The many faces that we wear

    Before reading this look into the mirror and try to understand the emotion that you are feeling at the very moment. You might be happy, you may be sad, you could be tired of the hectic day or just outright frustrated or you might feel a combination of many emotions. It's very difficult to fathom the emotions, the feelings. These things cannot be articulated, they can neither be measured. But then look at an infant you can easily determine what emotion he/she is having. Either the baby may be crying or laughing with joy. That is because the child doesn't have to deal with the tyranny of the world that we live in. A child behaves in a similar way both with elders or with children his own age unless he is taught to behave in a certain manner. Till this point the child is innocent but once a child goes to school he starts to realise that I must respect my elders, my teachers even though he likes or not that's when he first learns to wear a mask, a face. Wearing faces me...

The Birthday Week

   After hard hitting last couple of blogs I am taking a breather with this one. This one seemed to be an easy topic at first but gave a tough time to finish. Yes, it's my birthday week. But I don't know whether to be happy celebrating my 21st birthday or to be sad at loosing my innocent ages too soon. I don't know whether this happens with everyone or not but leading to my birthday each year my family, especially my mom, aunts and grandmothers discuss about me all day. How naughty I was in my childhood, where and when was I born, how I used to cry at night and not let anybody sleep, how I used to throw everything away preferably on my neighbour's roof, how I used to never walk and needed someone to pick me up. I get completely amazed as I can't obviously remember my naughtiness, I blush when my relatives tell me that you've changed drastically.      Well, this year was all the same. The same relatives visiting, me chilling out with my friends, 12'o clock ...

Taken for granted

   There are three things in life which you cannot recover - the moment after its missed, the word after its said and the time that is wasted and if all this culminated then it would be horrific to bring it back. We most of the times miss the small moments like wishing our close people on their birthdays, we do have our excuses for not remembering and our busy schedules are only to complain. We often say someone unabashedly that we don't need that person in our lives, well we might not even need but think again was their actually a need to say it and the hours that we binge watch American TV PS I do, what all things we all could be done in those hours. Well all these are larger topics I need to stress more on the first one that is we take people for granted.     The parents that give us the right upbringing, fulfill all our desires become the uninvited people in our lives at a point of time. The mother that wakes up at 5, prepares our breakfast so that we could...
