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 :)

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...
