Friends - Blessing in Disguise

Friendship doesn't happen in a day. For me friendship is many small things and perhaps it should be this way. Friendship so far has all been about sharing tiffins, morning assembly, recess games, collecting notebooks at last, drawing margins, blackboards, paper balls, land line calls, pushing, running in corridors, window seats, reading longer stanza/para, canteen, random talks, school bus, long walks, copying and telling, pen fights, labs, manuals and files, name-place-animal-thing, bingo, mangoes and oranges, cards, bands, key-rings, side wise glances, winks, silent smiles, notes, assignments, novels, quizzes, prizes, deep/intellectual discussions, late night studies, for the love of TV series, plays, art-exhibitions, charts and models, mimicking, ridiculing, birthday treats, last minute gifts, texting, random chats, mails, pictures, trips and ... 
 
 As i sit and recall, a school bus passes in front of my house- redolent of the time i had as a school girl. Poppins( we called our conductor so, for he changed his hair color quite frequently and randomly) urging us to accommodate 1 more kid on a two seater, the bus full of noisy kids like us returning home at 3 in the afternoon. Although tired and weary yet those shiny eyes, where has it all gone now?
 
 Virtue-based relationships are formed mostly during childhood especially schooldays when words were just words from heart, talks were as seen from eyes or heard from ears(and thus i believe it is fantastic and will last till the end of universe) or sometimes later, at college days, when we live in a state of blissful ignorance, or rather we are yet too naive. But once one tastes the coldness of reality and learns to conduct oneself in a successful professional, the circumstance demands us to have friendships on the basis of usefulness/pleasure/ in terms of gain. We assume things that are not said, believe what we have not seen, twist the simple facts and sore relationships. At these times, how i wish if time could stand still- effortless, pure, humble, uncomplicated! 
 
Here's hoping that you would all cherish the times you have spent with your friends. May your friendship grow old and strong as each year passes. May you continue to find the same amount of trust, fun and ever lasting freshness as i continue to find with my bunch of people. And it is OK to let people go, there are many new bonds waiting to be found and formed. It would be rude and ungrateful of me to think of names because I've been too blessed to have a wonderful company of friends throughout. Some have stayed right from my birth, to 10-12 years of my school time, others have come and gone, but they have all added a meaning to my existence.
- to friends, fun and life :)

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...

To the feeling called Friends :D

So the sole purpose of writing posting today is mainly because I hate changes (or, well, at least I believe that I do, to an extent) and partly because when I had logged in today, it was the 1 st Sunday of August. Fb was generous enough to remind me twice that I had posted a blogpost celebrating Friendship over the past two years now. This, if not much is a ritual for me and I couldn’t let this year be any different. Already having been irregular over the past few weeks and then being pointed out by a few friends of mine, as to how I keep on procrastinating things for next weekend and how my blog desperately needs oxygen or that they pray demons don’t take over internet or wifi and the chances of its survival are low; guilt mixed with a feeling of humiliation and embarrassment of being such a haughty/moody brat had finally taken over and this was much needed! < I beg you Thee to forgive me :”) > If there’s any relationship that I value the most, it has to be friendship. I ...

One Such Day :)

Some August 2K15 8-9 am: after greeting the members of the house and attending to the utmost important morning getting-out-of-bed “tasks”, I ask mom (like I usually do, day after day) “how are the cats?”. "They were asking for you” she says. Couldn't guess the satirical hint in her reply, I cheerily go out to see them. “meow” I say on finding them half- asleep under the cooler stand. They look at me with equitably mix of bewilderment and adorableness ( or disapproval, idk). It strangely occurs to me that cats, dogs and other non homo sapiens never come about saying “hellos & byes” to us. What then makes me (us) do a bowbow or meow seeing them. That must be hilarious and a source of all-sort-of-confusion for them. Taking a mental note of it, I've promised myself that I'll stick to my hello and what do you plan to do for the day, and let them meow and purr for themselves & then humanly code it for some sort of an answer to feed my queries :D 11ish am: What...
