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 :)

A little snippet~

It takes one 'teacher' to make you fall in love with a subject, to make you appreciate the techniques involved, to make you believe that it can be done, to make you see beyond the textbook, to make you follow that perhaps for the rest of your life OR make it extremely dreadful, difficult and boring for you till eternity. Ever since I had come here for my higher education, we have had to move a lot between semesters because my course demanded that from me. In the past 4 semesters I have been under 3 different Universities in 2 countries and had professors from a lot of different departments. While this has been a great learning opportunity, which has helped me discover more about the specific fields of study, there has been an absence of a ‘Mentor’ like figure. However, during my internship last year in Lyon, I happened to meet Professor LD who has since then been by my side, replying to my emails, even now when I am not working with him anymore. Although he doesn’t interf...

The madness called Gurugram

Now that I am no more a “Grameen” < self inducted word in vocab> i.e. a resident of Gurugram, it is good time to reflect. There has not been a single day where I have not loathed, despised and whined about this place. I ensured that almost everybody knew how pathetic a city can be. Well, I had to do nothing really. The city Metropolitan area ensured from time to time that it got the much needed attention, itself. From frequent power cuts, to unstable wi-fi, to poor network reception, to water logged streets, to forever smoggy hazy weather update by Google, to the perennial dust due to construction, and the inevitable traffic snarls- Gurugram had it all, and most of the times- All At Once! People suggested me to move to Noida but LOL that’s like choosing between the devil and the deep sea. As I sit cozy now, with all the time in hand and a trail of endless thoughts, I am inclined to think that the person that I’ve become in the past 2 years, to a great extent I’m shaped by t...

Thoughts ?!

It has been quite some time since I posted anything publicly. I could not make up my mind if it were the right time to show or express for any occasion or what had I painted or how finally after months we were out from sub-zero temperatures here or how the beginning of spring had started to look like. Trust me, spring, or temperatures somewhere around 15C is a big reason for me now because I had just been seeing grey skies, snow, sleet and rainfall, and trees without leaves or the same colored dull and heavy winter clothes around. It felt almost cruel and uncalled for to post things over social media when people at large are struggling with basic facilities in few parts of the world and especially back home. As a reader/consumer of information, I was, and I still am furious with how things are being managed wrt pandemic. It is not okay for people to look for themselves to arrange for medicines, beds, oxygen, or get treatment. Agreed the world is facing challenges as to ho...
