A Happy Reunion !!


How delighted I was today to meet a family (who were our neighbors once) and my childhood friends. I met them after about 7-8 years!! The amount of happiness of course can not be measured but any one could have judged by the bustling atmosphere full of laughter, enthusiasm, chit -chat & excitement that we all were indeed equally happy to see each other after all these years.
But there also wasn't any doubt that everything and everyone’s changed. Everyone’s more mature; and it’s not just about life years. Each of us had more responsibilities in life and everyone seems to be fulfilled and looking forward to the future. I thought smilingly how we've changed. Someone has grown up to be a meek and quite person, while the other one is loudest in the group; someone has gained weight while someone has grown up to be so tall that you have to actually raise the whole of your head to talk to them while standing :D
I'v spent my younger years with these people- playing, travelling to school, birthday parties, social gatherings and almost everything you could come up with beside studies since we varied in age. And though we met for a shorter period of time today but everything how small and naive that may have been, we fondly recalled everything that bonded us .

I've become more convinced that among the two constant things in life that I should be thankful for are changes and good friends. At first, you might not think that they go together, but I think they do. It is these very people and these very situations that make us who we are. They give us a sense of fulfillment and bliss :)

Rewind 2024

In another 3 weeks, this year will come to an end. It is finally a good time to update something here, more out of guilt that I posted something (finally) and a reminder for me to improve upon this for the next year. This year was quite eventful, and I am extremely grateful for having the opportunities both at work and on a personal level to be able to see and travel to different parts of the world. If you might think this is bragging, then please excuse yourselves and do not scroll further. I often think about how many things one should share on social media, and every time I end up convincing myself that being active on social media is not my cup of tea. In some sense, I have become more of a recluse, and I think it has got to do with my conditioning of being here in Germany. People in general are a bit reluctant in displaying their private lives, and I seem to resonate with this thought. And anyway, people with whom I want to share stuff, reaches them anyway. And as for keeping myse...

The Sweetness Of Doing Nothing

Well summer vacations are here and for the very first time(since I joined college) I feel I'm home after long. Not that I have not been home but I don't remember myself doing absolutely nothing. I've been questioned so many times these days ' what are you doing? whats on your side?' and I realized I'm probably doing nothing. I've erratic sleeping patterns, gorge on food whenever and Read – yes! I've and endless list of ' to read'. I was earlier segregating my text books to be given to juniors when I recalled summer vacations was so much fun during school time. We were given holiday homework ( you just can't escape it) but it was something I liked doing. Now that I have nothing to do, I feel equally happy and satisfied somehow! I've all the time to sit and think of nothing, plan for nothing and worry for nothing at all. How long has it been since I had felt this way?! I go out in evening and water plants; see their shades of green and bro...

The Sem.that was

I still can't bring myself to think that this was the last odd sem. I have had together with my friends, staying in hostel. The 7 th  sem. would be for 6 months training and we would all be definitely far apart. And how would the days turn out to be then, from practically being in each others company nearly 24x7 to being all by ourselves! Odd semesters, I'v realized tend to end somehow way more sooner than the even semesters probably because we have a lot of days off in between due to festive season. A regular 45 days of teaching followed by mid sessionals, fests, a mini autumn break, 20-25 days of working college and then the inevitable lab quizzes, evaluations, end sessionals and the next thing you would be doing is packing your bags and heading off to homes. As the session began, I thought that this semester would pass out pretty smoothly, the work load and the credits were less than any other semester but I did get that wrong! Most of my subjects this sem. were totally ba...
