Fly high!!!

I’m a bird,

Up in the sky,

Flapping my wings hard,

To go high!!!

Against the wind I course,

I feel free…

I fly higher,

Just to be with me!!!

Swooping down on the sea,

I let the breeze detoxify me!!
Splashing waves….

Wash me off my negativities!

Up I go again,

Feeling new!!

Knowing that life,

Would now have the groove!!

Upon a hilltop I safely land,

And start off with a new dance!!!

MYLO XYLOTO \m/

Reading reviews about Mylo Xyloto I was really worried if I've taken a right decision by booking a pre-order release of the same! But then I thought, reviews are not meant for true fans! And now I can proudly say, I'm a fan too! Well, I loved every song, and I feel 14 songs aren't just enough, I WANT MORE!!!!!! I can't really choose a favourite among all the songs! I listened over and over again (enjoying every minute of it ;)) still can’t really place my finger on one particular song! I guess you should yourself listen to each and decide for yourself, and maybe help me too to pick one! :D

FLY AWAY!!!!

Life is so hapenning,

But nothing new…

I’m so busy,

Yet nothing to do!!!

I’m in a crowd,

Yet I feel so left out…

I seem calm,

But all I want to do is shout!!!

I’m in a new place,

But I’m sick of the very same…

I walk here everyday just because I can’t fly away!!!

~~~HAPPY NEW YEAR~~~

Finally, I take the the effort, to blog! After almost 2 months comes my post! Well, what took me so long, as usual, LAZINESS, or to put it poetically...

I don't feel inspired!!!

But this excuse won't work this time, whether I feel inspired or not, I decided I won't forget the year 2010 and will surely give it a farewell, a farewell it deserves, as I stand here beyond all odds, 'alive and kicking'!

Talking about the year, I can say it was one of the longest years of my life! January 2010 in Ruia seems to me like ages ago! My posts, Esselworld, monsoons seem like I've been talking about something that happened years ago! But no, it all happened in the happening year, 2010! It mus be well experienced by most and many, that when you are enjoying, time flies by, and when you are not or when you are having a bad time, seconds seem like hours!

Maybe that was what made me feel so. Of course, the year wasn't really a bed of roses for me! If I compare it to a roller-coaster, as I usually do, it was full of ups and downs, obviously normal for it, I mean, that is how they are, sometimes up, and unexpectedly, zoom you come down, that freefall, that feeling of helplessness! I've been experiencing this for many years now, (like everyone else living), so I don't have any issues about that feeling of helplesness, I now sort of know how to deal with it. But, I was thinking of the feeling I had when I was on the roller-coaster, in 2009 I was screaming with joy and fear, but this year, maybe I was nauseatic, because, my insides didn't quite agree with it's twists and turns, maybe! But anyways, however it was, good or bad. As usual I hope and pray to God, even though everything that is hapenning may not be good, but surely it is Happening for the best reasons!

Talking about the year, I cannnot forget the people who were a part of my life in this year, surely many new, plus my family, friends, and all of those who really made a difference, made me smile, make me think sensibly, made me ward off those demons brooding in my mind, those who adviced, helped, gave me gifts, lifts and treats! Basically all those who made me smile atleast for a millisecond in these 365 days. Thanks for everything, maybe I'll never show how thankful I am, But, trust me I am a lot more than I can ever believe I can be!

Finally, I thank the year, because in spite of all the fights, tears, illnesses and accidents I stand here 'alive and kicking' wishing everyone A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

No place like home...

The last blog seems so rushed! I’ve just tried to finish sentences, and have written sentences after sentences with no link at all. Well, this is what an empty stomach, tired eyes, and bored mind can come up with! Well, I was for a very long time in a cyber-café and just had decided to finish the article off!

Anyways, bragging about this city, I’ve so started liking will be done some other day! Actually, as of now, I’m missing my hometown! My home, the privacy of my room, the comforting presence of my teddy bear, the shoulder of my dearest friends, and the so unnerving yet comforting concern of my parents!

Missing you all a lot! Now, I’m just waiting to come home! Today can be called a day, I realize

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

♥♥♥Pune♥♥♥

Pune is the so called cultural capital of Maharashtra, and when I told people I’m going to Pune for my post-graduation, I received a mixed opinion about the city. Some said, they just love the city, and all its qualities, and lifestyle. Some said, it’s a beautiful city, with some weird people. With a baggage full of advices from friends and well-wishers, I myself come in this city, to see what kind of a city it is!

Well, the city is as mixed as its opinions. First opinion was that the city is slow, but slowly I realized it’s not slow, it’s just a little laid-back, and don’t know why, even I like the laid-back attitude, and even I’ve become little laid back. The climate is one thing you’ll like, it’s nice and dry, and in monsoons, just a shower of rain, makes the city nice and cool!

One thing I noticed about Pune that there are very few of Pune-ites and more of migrants, coming here for education, jobs, etc. These migrants also include foreigners. Also, people of Pune are great foodies; they love to eat, because they enjoy flavors. And I bet, most of people’s salary is spent on eating outside.

One thing I noticed, that people in Mumbai have a mindset that, people in Pune are rude and just not co-operative. In fact 90% Pune-ites I’ve come across, including my classmates, are just too good to be those typical ‘PUNEKARS’. Agreed that there is that 10%, who are typically rude and bad, but they are not included in my friends’ circle, in fact such people are nowhere close to me, you’ll find such people only in areas, they are famous for, called as ‘Peths’. Otherwise, the city is full of pretty nice people.

Come to talk of friends, I’m just plain lucky! I’ve got lovely classmates, and friends. They pick you, drop you, and give company when you feel lonely, show super-cool destinations for eating, waste your time, trouble you with messages, and typical ‘Punekar taunts’. But they’ll always be there when you need them. Life wouldn’t have been the same, if I’d other people instead of these cartoons. Thank you!!

Let’s see, till now life here has been very nice, with nice adventures, and wonderful experiences, with its ups and downs also. With some quarrels and clashes too, but they are a part of life, and a part of me!

My life has always surprised me, has changed always. Even now it’s going to change a lot. I just hope I adapt and survive easily through these changes! Life is after all ‘SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST’

Good-byes......

Just have no idea from where to start it’s been so long I haven’t blogged, exactly the same time when I’ve so much going in my life, starting from the time I came to Pune for my post-grad. Life can be highly unpredictable, and my indecisiveness just contributes more to it.

The last time I’ve blogged is about the trek I’d been to, I remember when I was telling my friends there that I’m really going, I’ve cleared the entrance, none believed. Somewhere even I didn’t believe in myself either. I took admission, that is when I knew I’m surely going to Pune, still my friends, and even my parents didn’t believe. They had to believe when I started all my packing a day before.

At times I feel like a criminal, for leaving my friends and family, but I know it’s stupid! Even though we are far, I know they, their thoughts and their wishes are still with me. Basically, they are with me, even when not around me.

The most difficult part was telling close ones good-bye, and ‘I’ll miss you’. It’s a lot easier to say, I’m so happy I’m finally getting rid of you! But there’s one thing I like about a goodbye. People close to us, realize how life will be difficult without us, and in the last few days try to show all the love they have for us!

Such are goodbyes, a little sweet, a little bitter, and a little salty due to the tears, but so full of emotions, that they can keep you alive in a new city till the time you make new friends in a new place!!!
