Never Grow Up!!


The entire thought of “growing up” is so intricate and baffling that I totally dread it. That spark of randomness , that hint of spontaneity gets totally lost in the process where we believe that just because we have gown old, we have grown up. Why let go of something you are used to, and why become something which you are not? Its about losing some illusions to acquire a new one, and that process is so terribly hard that it makes you wonder if you could just switch from one childhood to other.

It happens when you start having things you look back on and then wish’d if you could change it, When you have to shut up, swallow your pride and accept that you are wrong, When you learn to give up. The day when you have your first real laugh at yourself! Sometimes growing up also means growing APART.  And the hardest thing is that you are compelled to do what is right for you even if it breaks your heart. Infact the real trouble with the world begins when too many people grow up.Isn’t that a tragedy, coz one fine day you wake up and realize that everything you are and everything you feel is not much different what everyone else feels.

Sometimes we take life too seriously , we believe we are being sensible and mature.But maturity only begins where Drama ends, and DRAMA I believe is the essence of life.That “over-the-top” behavior, that motor mouth, that mind without a filter, feeling for things the way they are and GOING ALL OUT in everything you do.Wear no makeup,eat as much as you want, talk about anyone the way you feel like, laugh hysterically, cry out loud and not just in the darkness, not worry if your face looks stupid, not worry if you look pretty or ugly, if people notice you or not, run around, scream, speak out your mind, questions the rules and live life.If only we could live our lives without those strands of diplomacy and double standards. Live without being judged.With crazy thoughts, crazy dreams and crazier ideas.The world with no hurt, no pain..only laughter..Isn’t that beautiful? This is probably why Peter Pan didn’t want to grow up.

“Our footsteps run and I don’t want them to end.I want to run away and laugh and feel like this forever.I want to avoid any awkward moments when the realness of reality sticks, its fork into our flesh ,leaving us standing there together.I want to stay here, in this moment and never go to other places where we don’t know what to say or what to do” – Markus Zusak

Remembering the Good, in the Goodbyes.

Home is my happy place.   Gone are the days of longing for a vacation away from Home. Now, coming back home is a vacation in itself. The otherwise constant cribbing about so much to do and so little time meets with a momentarily halt and benediction comes in the form where there is “nothing to do and all day to do it”. Almost 10 days into, what I would call the longest vacation of my college life (EIGHTY MIGHTY DAYS), I wish to reconcile with my productivity. Marking my beginning with a blog post. It took a while to come out of the trauma that the Eight Semester had in store.The occurrence of events prior to the foregone conclusion were nothing short of exhilarating but their culmination was predictably devastating.  Sometimes, home isn’t a just a place surrounded with walls, it is a feeling that comes with people around you. Finding home in a hopeless place (Read College) was certainly baffling but the obscurity faded as familiarity with the faces f...

The Cup That Counts...

2 nd April …Rings a bell??? Well quite yes, coz a year ago this day witnessed history being created…As Dhoni cleared the fence for a four and Yuvraj had an immense outburst putting his closely guarded emotional side on display, As the Indian cricket team members walked around the Wankhede stadium carrying Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders amidst loud cheers from fans and celebrities ,the camera focusing time and again on a teary-eyed Tendulkar...This was no ordinary celebration on an extra ordinary day ; WE HAD WON THE   CRICKET WORLD CUP …And with  the very thought of that special moment these scenes flash across our minds, triggering those emotions which went out of control on that special day ... This was a moment for Indians to cherish whole through their life, a moment which ushered a wave of patriotism and a moment which once again made us all proud of the fact that we are Indian. Millions of Indians ,even those who were not really keen followers of the game h...

Kangna- Hritik Controversy: A misguided case of Man v Women!

There has been a constant media trial surrounding the controversy which stemmed from Kangana's recent interviews in a couple of talk shows. The one with Rajat Sharma at Aapki Adalat generated widespread buzz, so much that there were dozens of memes doing the rounds even weeks after the interview ended. Some branded it as a publicity stunt for her film Simran while others lauded the effort of an Industry outsider taking on the big wigs of the Bollywood business ( Shortly after the nepotism debate after the Koffee with Karan episode). There was another interview that followed with Barkha dutt which was basically an English translation of everything that was already discussed on Aap Ki Adalat. So, people who haven't watched it yet aren't really missing on anything new to the story. Having taken those interviews with a pinch of salt and considering them a regular dosage of ordinary bollywood masala, I never chose to take sides. However, I would not deny the fact that K...
