New beginnings and new years :)



Happy 2015 folks, although the new year isn't that new anymore. Celebrations have ceased and festivities faded and now most of us have got accustomed to writing 2015 instead of 2014 whenever we write dates!
Oh yes! It was such a pain back in school when the writing "dates' on notebooks was mandatory. And upon failure of this formality, we were threatened with dire consequences. DATES!! Seriously.But then that's how schools in India are about. And with every new year coming the struggle was to replace the existing year with the current one in the "mention the date column. Quite a task it was. And then as they say, time flies and from writing dates we graduated to going on dates, not that we did NOT have to WRITE dates but yeah, the consequences were much less severe :P
Anyways the point is with every new year comes a lot of responsibility, now that is entirely subject to our discretion, whether we want to take them up or not. We make resolutions, NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS which range from going to the gym or quitting alcohol or smoking or even getting over your crush or maybe scoring well in the exams and blah blah! My new year resolution was pretty simple. I decided I will comb my hair everyday only to realize how BIG and CHALLENGINg that was and off course I didn't really follow that for more than a week.  Let these lame talks just stop for now and lets get into some serious business..
Yes, its  philosophy time!! all ears set?
So yeah, with every new year that comes there are expectations, aspirations, hope and then the effort to strike a match of all of these with reality. There is zeal, there is enthusiasm and a desire to do things in a different way, make fresh starts, be better human begins and blah blah! These new years I tell you, are such a breather amidst our so-called hectic living. You know, when the year is about to end you feel that there is this baggage that you have been carrying for long, and more often that not it is big and heavy and extremely unnecessary. And then you come to the conclusion that Its time to just dump it. I think new years are the best times to let go, of things, habits and PEOPLE!! You have something to look forward to in life and make fresh starts without any guilts, without any hiccups..Love your life and live it the way you want to.  Eventually you do get bogged down by the length of life which deprives you of its breadth but then as long as possible you can continue in your own world of bliss.. "dukh and dard" will eventually follow coz what's the whole point of this "zaalim duniya" without the usual pains of life :P
But that does not take away the delight of new year. The joy of a fresh new start coz you get a lease of life!
Cheers!

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...
