Aasman ko choone ki tamanna thi itni

Unko paane ki tammanna thi itni

Ki gardish mein bhi khone se nahi dare

Aur aankhon mein unki tasveer lekar bas chal diye

Hazaaron khwahishein bas dil mein lekar chal diye

Socha ki bas ab mil gaya pura jahan unhe

Baahon mein baahein daal kar chal diye

Par masoomiyat thi itni, ki kahin raah mein bhool gaye,

Ki raaste itne bhi aasan nahi,

Aur gardish mein shayad kahin who bhi kho gaye….

Blah

''You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know

And you
Over-think
Always speak
Cryptically

Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You!
You don't really want to stay, no
You!
But you don't really want to go-oh''

Yes, my condition at this point of time!

Five people and the rain

PG admission form hunt.

Humid day. Very!

Westside. AC. Awesome dress. No cash. Disappointment :-(

Colaba stretch. Hunt for courier shop. Crowded M.O.D. Empty Theo's :-(

Search for 'sasta' courier shop. Losing the thing to courier. Finding the thing to courier. Finally couriering the stuff.

Thumbs-up (Coke chahiye? Abey! Thumbs up hai...bolna chahiye na! Extra fizz!!!!!). Old monk. Thumbs-up + Old monk. Cab.

''I need to finish it before SHE comes!!''
''Forget that, how will you throw the old-monk ka bottle?''
''I'll throw out re! Its fun!!''
''Oh shit! I cant, police ka van peeche hai!''
''Now?''
''Will leave it in the cab! Hahahaha!!''

Marine drive. Five people. Awesome weather. High tides. Rains.

Two umbrellas. One windcheater. Five cell phones. Extremely important admission forms. One big not-so-water-proof bag!

Drenching in rain. Thundering. Lightning. MARINE DRIVE.

Forty-five minutes wait for the bus. No bus.

Start walking towards VT (Yes, you read right). Heavy rains, hitting your face like stones. Water log, knee high.

Walk. Walk. Walk.

Hide&Seek biscuits. Lays (Tangy tomato!!). All while walking in the rain.

One hour. Destination reached.


Crowded train. Drenched us. Irritated ladies. Extremely cold us. One more hour of journey.

Home.

 Remembered someone and the song went buzzing in the head:
''Jab mila tu, ru tu ru ..
Na thi kami na justaju, ru tu ru ..
Aur aadhe aadhe pal huye phir poore yun
Jab mila tu, ru tu ru ..''

In all an awesome day!

Five people and the rain :-)

I picked up this tag from It Ain't That Simple, Baby 's blog. Very nicely done there :-)

I tag anyone who reads this and wishes to do it.

Ah! Tags are so sooo sooo much fun! I dont know why, but they are! :-D

Happy me!

So, today is one of those days when I am HIGH. High on happiness, me blah blah. Sounds lame? But I cant help it, I dont get high on alcohol, trust me. Alcohol doesnt work on me, not that I have tried getting high many times, but then I did try and it dint work, and instead I get high just like that! (Crazy woman on loose!!! :-p)

I was really really low for the past few days. Confused, angry, sad, irritated etc. It was like I was surrounded with so much negativity. It was not a very good phase. Thank God it was just for few days!

Anyway, I am back to being the happy-me! No more sadness, no more negativity. So, I decided to go out and have some fun. My friend (Moon di) and I went to town where we met one of her friends Fawda (thats what they call him, but his good name is Pratik). We went to have lunch at Cafe Leopold, where they had loads and loads of food, and I just got tired of eating. Damn! I couldnt even finish my meal :-(

Loads of alcohol testing happened, he checked all the 'shes' out and we checked all the 'hes' out. Sometimes its fun! And especially these firangs! What are they made up of? Like one of my friend says ''They are so delicious!''. Haha! I am not even getting there ;-)

After lunch we went to EROS for a film : The Prince of Persia. I wasnt really keen, but then Moon di pulled me for it. I love going to these stand-alone theatres, they are old and its sometimes good to go these places instead of the multiplexes. Its a nice 'change' ;-)

I loved the movie. Actually 'someone' said that that someone had downloaded the film and thus was supposed to give it to me. But I think that someone is very 'busy', and I dont think I will get ANY film and thus land up watching no films during my holidays, which I dont want to happen. So I went for the film. And it was a good decision. :-)

After the film we went to one of my favourite places : MARINE DRIVE. This place is divine. You are happy go to Marine Drive, you can celebrate your happiness there. You are sad, go to Marine Drive, you can share your sorrow there. This place is magical!

Then we were back home.

I loved every inch of this day. And what I love more is that I am back to being HAPPY! :-D

To LIFE,

''Baby, I'd love you to want me,
The way that I want you, the way that it should be'' :-)

Change

Earlier I was completely aversive to the idea of change. Change was that word which induced an uncomforting feeling in me. I was so sensitive towards it that my insides churned and twisted everytime I thought of the various changes that have and that will occur in my life. I always, ALWAYS preferred to live in a small, clustered world of mine, which was very very secure. Any thing which I thought would be a potential source of change in life, I would avoid it, be it a thing, situation or a person.

But like someone said ‘’People change as time changes, you see’’, and now I completely agree to that. Infact everything around us changes, its forever changing. Sometimes we notice the change, most of the time the change goes unnoticed, because we choose not to notice. I always preferred to ignore the change, very consciously most of the times as I said it is not a very comfortable thing for me. But I’ve seen me changing, a change which I think is for good. I have changed so much and so fast that when I look back I ask myself ‘’Oh! My God! Was that really me? I used to think like that? Look like that? Do stuff like that?’’ And since the change was positive I enjoyed it. I loved it. So then I questioned why am I so opposed to the negative or let’s put it in another way, less positive or less favourable changes in life? Why am I so closed to them? Why do I not handle them in a more matured way?

Why a change in institution affect me so badly? Or why the fact that a childhood friend now has changed and spends a little more time with his girlfriend irritates me? Or why the fact that a friend who leaves the city or country leaves me with the most uncomfortable feeling on earth with the idea that I may probably never be able to see that person again and that the person will forget me? Or why as a matter of fact that if I leave this place, I might be leaving behind everything and everyone I own and know?

Insecurity is what you may term this as. But its not insecurity. I am not an insecure person at all, I fear the change, used to fear the change. I don’t anymore, and that is very comforting. I have realized that change is the only constant thing in life, the sooner you accept it, better it is. Life is much much much more easier now that I have accepted the fact that change is inevitable and necessary aswell. No more angst in me because of this. I am a very happy person at this point of time. Changes have occurred, perspective has broadened, better things have happened and maturity has dawned in.  (Hopefully!)

I will love any change. A change in the world, in my life, in me or in you. 

PS: I wrote a small post on how much I hate/dislike change, maybe a year back, and now look at the 'change' in me ;-)

Does it ring a bell to YOU? ;-)
