A lesson learnt- Move on

It's strange how things that we think will stay forever, start to fall apart and we realize that we've grown out of that world of fantasies, of sweet nothings. Nobody could tell, looking at you, that something definitely is not right. Why is it that something that we crave for since a long time, suddenly seems as ordinary as any other thing,in the end when we finally get it? God, the more you think, the more it gets to you! Life is so simple and easy to live but then again, we THINK and there starts all the complications, the troubles, the tears and fears. Why do we ponder upon every little thing we do? The line that 'Do what your heart says' is pure cliche because no matter how much ever we want to believe that it works that way, it's a fact that it doesn't. We can never just do what our heart says and not think about it. Can we? I bet nobody here has done it! Our mind and thinking does play a big role. We fall in love with the idea of falling in love, with the idea of having someone or something exclusively to ourselves so much so that we often detour from sanity and reality. Things and ideas like those are not constant and will never stay the way we want them too. Most of us learn it the hard way. In my 18 years, I've seen myself grow and evolve in many ways, I've understood that the more we try to hold on to things and people we consider to be 'OURS' the more we are at the risk of losing them. Moving on doesn't always have to mean that you just erase your past, it means learning what your flaws and faults have cost you and trying to improve on those and building up a better you.

Interaction with a larger world ... !


Wiith the end of boards and the beginning of my holidays , who really cared about what's happening next ! You did ?! Well , I was definately not the one to worry about my future ! As per my plan , i would stay in the same college [my dream college] , hang out with the same bunch of people m travel in the same train , walk the same road , end up having a decent score and a degree and then maybe MBA or work ... ! Well , plans ... !! Plans generally dont work as we plan they would , atleast in my case ! So when the results were out , i was more than sure that my plan would finally be implemented but to my surprise , God had another plan in store . My dream plan dint really turn out the way i wanted it to ... Now came the beginning of a new world , a new college , new people , new adventures , new ventures ... basically everything "NEW" ! Totally not looking forward to it , I entered college on my first day . With no expectations , no friends and no plans , for sure !! But what i expected again turned out to be totally the other way round ! I found myself in a perfect college , a perfect course with amazing people , who ended up being my best buddies now ! Life , i tell you , is so strange at times ... but yeah it makes up for the bad parts with great ones like these . So its been just a week since i stepped into college but here i am , with great friends , total fun and excitement and not 0.1% regrets for my decision :) . . . This is one of my experiences of the so called "ups and downs" in life ... i always read about this ups and downs concept , never really been through it ... but now ... I know how it feels , i feel the joy , that satisfaction .. it's like , this was so MEANT TO BE :)

ADOLESCENT TALKS


I once used to fight with my friend over toys
Today we part saying its our own choice .
I once used to wake up with a horrible midnight dream ,
Where boogieman took mom n dad n I was left to sceam .
Today as I wake up there is no time to waste
Jus a second to think before I find my brush with toothpaste !
There was once a time when A B C D was all I learned ,
Today with my words don’t know how many hearts I’ve burned .
Once upon a time I would await my momma’s kiss ,
And here I stand today too busy with my life to even think of this !
There was once a time when Daddy was my Hero ,
Now whenever I talk to him we tend to have a row !
Dolls and ice creams were my two best friends ,
Now as I’ve grown up that story seems to end .
When I was little I couldn’t wait to grow up ,
But now I feel why then did I give up ?
That kiss of innocence was so much to treasure ,
It is those days of my childhood I miss beyond measure
