Flashback

4 years ago...

There's something about memories. They take you to the time you never want to forget. Beautiful memories which build your present. 

Memories are the sweetest way of reminding you that things were and still have the potential to be better. Its Been a long while and I am in this flashback mode to my graduation days. 4 years ago when I started college, didn't have even the slightest of idea that the times I am living now will actually be the best of memories down the lane...from bunking lectures to go for movies or just roaming around in college, sitting in the college ground with your love, waiting for the lecturer to come & eventually leaving the class only to come back to get the attendance. 

The 3 years in college were the best phase of my life. They not just made me a better person but gave me the greatest gifts of life; friends. Some went different ways, some kept in touch and a few still warms my heart with their stupid faces. Probably they are reading this; will give that stupid smile and send me a text saying - Rotlu, ro mat! :P

I remember the dance during freshers when all were strangers but danced to welcome the life ahead, together :) I remember the farewell too. Such an irony. I remember the 1st college trip; when I made friends with the person who is now the most special and priceless person in my life. I remember the night stays, the Nescafe house & Maggie. I remember the early morning lectures when we would accuse faculty of making our lives hell. Oh, how much I would love to go back to those days. Those canteens and photo sessions, assignments and all- night studies for exams; I wish I could re-live those days. 

When they say this they say it right; "enjoy every moment of your life because every moment is soon to become a priceless memory."

This one's to all my friends & that special someone; I love you all <3

Not just a word but world :)

How many of you have that friend who could do anything for you? I feel all of you reading this would say yes. Each one of us has that friend who is our world, our secret diary, the one who could blackmail you with all the deepest secrets and yet be the one you never stop confiding in.

A friend is someone who knows all about and loves you anyway!

Friend; its not just a word but a world to many of us. They take our tantrums and still accept us the way we are. Friends, not just a loved-by-all TV Show but a bond which lasts forever. True friends are not easy to find, you don't go and look for one, it comes to you. Like how they say True love comes to you and you don't run behind it.

Friend; a watchful protector? No, I am not talking about The Dark Knight even if my line is very much inspired by him. Don't you think friends somehow know what's wrong with you or what's troubling you without you even mentioning it? I have always wondered how my friend calls me the day I am actually feeling low and need her/him the most.

Friends are not just someone who you hangout with or send a message on days like today; but they are your second self. They are like that VISA; priceless BUT expiry-less! Not everyday you find someone who looks into your eyes and says - C'mon tell me what's wrong, I know something is. And you melt. You melt like you have been waiting for someone to come and ask you this.

All friends are special; be it school, college, office or the ones you never studied with but always sticked on to!

The first time I saw this movie; Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (yeah, its my favorite), I dreamt of having a best friend like Kajol and SRK are in the movie. Since then, I made a lot of friends and feel blessed to have some still with me since my childhood. And then I met someone in college. He is like that watchful protector, a silent guardian, someone like SRK is to Kajol, someone with whom I fight a lot but he somehow sees right through me, Yes! bang On! :) Well lets just call him The Batman, he loves when he is called that :P Isn't it Gaurav ;)

Friends; they don't believe in distance. All they believe in is the bond yous hare with them. My school time friends; College friends; the Delhi GF - Miss. Shivani :D, The Goa GF - Miss. Ruchika, The Mumbai GF - Miss. Ramani who is soon gonna go away to US and would come back only after 2years :( The other Mumbai GF who is not in the city today - Miss. Shikha! Well, I Love all of them! <3

I want to mention my awesomest and the deadliest childhood group - Linson, Sarath, Srinath, Ashish, Monika, Wrick, Sravanti, Meghna; guys I Love you all :*

Suhail, Kaushik, Ankit, Anshuman, Varun and Dipankar - my Mumbai Buddies :D Guys, you rock! B-)

People who stay close and I didn't meet over the past 1 year, I am sorry. I should have. Foram, Unnati, Kenali, Sayali, Deepika and Nidhi.

In this fast paced, no time outside phones and TV and Laptops hardly 2-3 of us would actually go and meet our friends. May be we will call or send a text? Send an e-card or may be a video chat? Belated meetings or celebrating Friendship Day? In all this, did you even try meeting them personally? You should. I didn't and I realise I should have. 
if you still can, get out of your homes and go meet that friend who gives that smile on your face when he/she says - What's wrong with you Ugly face? :D 

You getting what I want to say, don't you?

Go on, pick up the phone and call that friend is distant city; put on those chappals and ring the door bell of you nearby friend! All it takes is one step from your side and the rest will be taken by your friend :) Afterall, its all about meeting the ones you love halfway ^_^

The Week so Far :)

So the Sunday is here! :)
Sunday does not excite me anymore, I mean by the time I realise its Sunday its over too :P
Sunday should be 48 hours (Monday should not exist) ;)

So this last week was pretty fine; assignments, Presentations, College Fun and yes getting stuck in Mumbai Rains. Last Monday i got stuck in Local Trains because of heavy rains; the journey which takes an hour an half took me 4 hours!!! I was tired, hungry and sleepy; reached home real late :(

Anyways, this week was fun because of Traditional Day in my college on the 5th September (Teacher's Day in India). Since Monday gave me a bad experience, I decided to wear a Salwar Suit and not a Sari, so I was clad in an Indian Dress, enjoying the day, clicking lots of pictures with friends :)

Bangles from: Youshine

Earrings: Of my mother :)

I don't know from where my mother got me this dress (been long time, just for special occasions)
but I love this! <3 

The coming week is totally packed with lots of submissions and lots of fun hopefully! :)
Will be back with something new really soon!

Love <3

Sirf tasveerein hi saath reh jaati hain...

A feeling of nostalgia sets in as I sit to pen down (I mean type down) my first post here…

Life goes by on the wings of time. Not long back, you were in school and then the college came along; it’s like saying goodbye to school friends wasn’t just enough.

College Life promises a lot of things; fun, enjoyment, freedom and the friends we make for a lifetime. Semester by semester goes, lectures, submissions, hangouts, birthday parties, sleepovers, night outs, IVs, road trips, photo sessions, college fests and of course Semester exams!

The last few months in College feels like end of the world. Last semester, Farewell and then in midst of all, infinite promises to your friends and vowing to meet and have fun forever even after college gets over.

In the last few months, it’s like if we could start all over again. Suddenly, every night and day you are flooded with nostalgia, memories keep flashbacking in your mind, oh! And then how you remind your friends of the days you had with them in your very first year in college; sailing the journey from Strangers to Friends, Friends to Best Friends, Crushes to Lovers, Friends to Enemies and vice versa too. You wonder how a group of 4 became 8 and then 70 after a stupid second year IV (Industrial visit), as if being in small group wasn’t your cup of tea. From the first year to the last year, you travel to a time where college friends become your family and somehow you stop boasting about your school friends. :P

You become the king of campus in your final year!

Project Discussions (read, group clashes), Heartbreaks, and egoism, gives you a reason or two to hate your life but then when that stupid friend comes with that stupid smile, your heart melts and the life seems alright, yet again!

Time changes, seasons go by and we develop an everlasting bond. As we say good bye in this final year, no matter how strong we are, try to hold back those tears. We all know this time eventually comes, years flows by but memories remain, faces and names stay the same, and as we go out into a world unknown – we realise there’s no place like college – the place we call our second home.

But what possibly the future may hold? Lots of Memories to treasure, a point from where we can never turn back, place we will never forget and friends who will stay in our hearts forever! Lets have lot of fun in our last year of college... and click lots of Moments.. 

Goes the famous saying... We did not know that we were creating memories, we were just having fun!

Aakhir, Sirf tasveerein hi saath reh jaati hain :')

Leaving you all with the serene voice of Haider Ali...

Be Right Back! :)
