What I learned in 2014

1. Nothing is ever the way you expect it to be. Harsh. But true. So you could sit with your book infront of you and imagine your future but it won't turn out exactly that way. Note: exactly

2. You are you. But you are also who you want to be. So one should always keep improving their lifestyles or habits according to the life they want  to lead or person they wana be. And nothing is wrong about the change that comes by.

3. Distance can never erode memories. A tv programme or a festival could bring up nostalgia. But you should always keep up with it and make new ones to remember later.

4. Books are indeed best friends.

5. Grudges are better be gone. Easy to say though. Needs practice.

6. You must do or try or have one new thing each day. It could go from buying a diamond necklace to gaining a little knowledge about something.  You could try black tea or make one yourself.

7.You should never take your feelings too seriously. Like if you are upset, thats ok too.

8. Never let anything define you. What others think or what others say. Be self secure. Never underestimate yourself. Have too much confidence. Have no fear. Whatever anyone else says, you are always good enough to be you.

9. Doing things for people makes you happy. But you could do them out of certain expectations and people may not even notice. So you do not have to care about it. Do as much you want to. Enough said. Enough heard. Enough done.

10. Its always easier to hear with one ear and take out from another. Helps your mental state.

11. Never keep in. Talk. Talk even more than you used to. Tell what made you feel good. Tell what made you feel bad. As they say, the good doubles and the bad halfens. Because you may sulk and sulk and get nothing but depression.

 12. Having an aim gives some purpose to life. But so does love. So when one goes missing, do know you have something else or you can always find both.

13. Your life is nothing but a reflection of your thoughts and how you feel.

14. Be true to yourself, if not to the world.

15. Its okay to make mistakes. Its not okay to ponder over them and have regrets.

16. Know the difference between self respect and ego.

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but

Revisiting.

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.

You can't pass off as 18 anymore, can you?

Woh! I had one hefty weekend with my friend, who I was able to enjoy with after almost three years! Yeah, we met in between the years but it was either for only a few hours or something was upsetting about our life. Well, but this time around we had immense fun. We went out partying, and the next day to the campus where we spent all our time together few years ago, and realized how far we have come. We are two changed individuals, knowing how to carry ourselves in a better way than what we did in college. We can't pass of as 18 anymore, where we had a billion insecurities about ourselves and no clue where our life will go. We never thought much about ourselves and now we have a self-esteem which can't go wrong. Then. (2011) Now. (2017) Do we really look any different? Yet we are! The tattoo talks, the hair color talks and the talks about getting another piercing were not what we talked about "all the time".I was just checking out an article regarding t
