Musical August !

Late post, Apologies!!
(no internet connection and a wrecked lappy are to be blamed)

Since the last post, i've been to delhi n back, having spent the last month in the most B'ful of fashionz. The Best August ever.

Started off wid a day at the delhi-haat in the Scorching Heat the city is famous for (well, after a month of rains in mumbai, the heat Does look pleasant, trust me! )with some wonderful people u've been eagerly wanting to meet, old memories being revived..

A guitaring event at Barista (KNags) where u meet some more wonderful people, people u've been dying to meet, get to hear some Awesome Vocals and Great Guitaring with melodies filling up the air & Chords echoing from the walls..

Friendship Day at a bookstore in CP, spending time sipping coffee n reading, chatting endlessly for hours with a dear friend.

Then the Most Awaited day, VoidStar performing at barista, special people, special songs, special day.. Cudn't help getting lost (in the music).

The joy of meeting ur twin-soul (ben) after years. Seeing one of the dearest of best(est) of friends, lol, that too unexpectedly when u were wishing lik crazy to meet.. wow!

The release of 'Rock on!', a movie you had waited for since june and actually getting to watch it Twice..

Many ....... evenings with some wonderful people, at a wonderful place making it a wonderful day ( yet to coin a word to describe them, hence the blank.. hehe)

Getting choked a couple of times, staying up at night (4am a few times) and getting up late (afternoon), no one to keep a check on the sleeping hours ;)
Smiling eyes, hurting cheeks and what not.

Ya, it was a 'Carnival' of sorts as a friend put it, but to me :

'A month of Smiles, Laughter n Melody'

So, music stringing some magical moments together, giving me d time of my Life... Life Is Musical! And some Musical Month it was!



Music can be pure magic
When u least expect it.
Can turn sunsets into symphonies.
Weave storms into pictures.
Add rythm to a breeze.
Can bring you old memories
Or help you make new ones.
And on a Perfect Day
The Perfect Note can fly you
Across oceans to Wonderful Places.

(nt an original, just a modification of the real one)

PS: its back to the rains for now.

Loved Ones

A poem for near and dear ones...
My poems are never rhyming properly coz in my case concentrating on the rhyme distorts the emotions involved.

So Here it is:

When tears trickle down their face
They look for comfort and you are there
Not knowing what to say or do ,
Makes it hard and sad for you.

You try to put their smile back on
Wish their troubles would soon be gone
And when u see them crying still ,
You feel helpless,disappointed in urself

They hold you tight and just won't stop
You ask them why, what happened, whats wrong
And let them know you are there for them
But it makes them cry even harder still.

Howmuch u try to hold ur tears
Howmuch u try to show u r strong
You forget, the bond is just so strong,
And a small one rolls down ur own.

You hug each other
and exchange smiles.
Nothing feels more important.
Anything, for even a faint smile.


PS: Thought a LOT about Mal while writing this. :)

Me against Myself

Recently i was going thru my stuff of school days n i found a crushd page & on it were scribbled sum lines...upon reading, something had hit me so hard that i still have no words to express...it was a poem that reminded me of the time wen i was fighting with myself...
Warning: only ppl with a strong heart read this....

It goes like this :

There is a face inside me
watching, mocking, laughing
I feel like im stripped down
ripped apart from my soul

It judges me, scares me
makes me feel im nothing
Its so hard to face it
look! its watching me again.

I try hard to be ,what it wants me to be
I know i can't , but i still try
but it just won't let go of me
I seem a stranger to myself

It reminds me of
chains i can't break out of
haunts me like a dark shadow
blocking the light & the world

Nothingness has crept into me
and it suffocates me to death
Im paranoid trying to please it
but it upsets me everyday

And it'll kill me,thats my worst fear
Coz i just seem a stranger to myself.

PS: thats wat dth mtl can do to ppl, i guess....lot of depression there...i hd started obsessing abt commiting a suicide...glad tht i finally gt out of it...:)

Things I want to do before i die

Just 3 days left for exams but Im sick n tired of it so much already that I'd rather post something here than see the face of ' Elements of Theory Of Computation by Cohen '. So I penned a few things that I always wished....

Here are a some things that I really want to do before i die.....rather they r things that i wish i could do ( coz sm things seem impossible...)
It goes like this:

1. Take a tour of the world specially Rome and highlands n meadows of Ireland.
2. Learn French , trust me.... i tried doing that in the 1st sem...had 1st sem exams nt been there during that time, i could cut off one thing from my wishlist. As of now, I just remember 'bonjour' and a few other greetings...
3. Watch a cricket match from the pavillion.
4. Learn swimming, coz i've always had a fear of water.
5. Become more organised and an early-to-bed-early-to-rise person. This is one problem my dad has always had with me....
6. Become a pro in guitaring, n hopefully have a band of my own....This has been my dream since i don know when....... hv had endless discussions on this with Marilyn, Ben and Nilu.....if u guys are reading, just want you to know that i really miss those days....
7. Open an old age home , shreya n shruti.....do u guys remember our plans of going to old age homes on sundays...which unfortunately never came true ofcourse....
8. Go to Goa with friends......this is one wish that i think is really gettable......guys r u listening??......ab to plan bana lo yaar...........
9. This ones a bit hypothetical.....if i could find Hermione's time turner or could turn back time, I wish to relive 5-6 yrs again ....
10. Finally, the last onez out of frustration, actually......I wish to get into Imperial College by hook or by crook nw...coz i've already been rejected twice...once for bachelors n now for postgrad.....if anyone reading this has gt any sources placed there, plz, feel free to contact....i am dying to get in....

PS: Nishi i guess we can start our french classes again after exams.....that would give me another reason to stay in delhi.........lol......

The Realization

After a long day I return to my room , feeling tired I walk towards the bed and on the way I pass a small mandir that we have kept in the room. I try to recall the day when I actually stood in front of it and prayed in the usual manner. I get no answer from myself, feeling ashamed I advance towards the bed with a lot of thoughts circling the mind.

Am I being true to my religion?…
Have I gotten so consumed in the cobwebs of life that I don’t have time for god?
And a lot more thoughts that I couldn’t answer.

The realization was a bit disturbing…But somewhere inside I knew what importance god has for me & thought of the endless times when I felt my problems dissolve without much toil…times when I had lost hope but still had faith…

I thought, even though I don’t pray on a regular basis or practice the rituals that my religion involves, I feel the presence of a supreme being, a positive force and a guiding light. There is someone I can turn to when things don’t go well….someone I can blame …someone I can rely on….one who fills me with positivity and the one I fear from if I am doing something wrong…this someone whom I can speak with when I m alone is what I call GOD.

Everyone of us has this god with him and it doesn’t matter whether we are Hindus, Muslims or Christians…we all feel his presence…so the manner in which we communicate with him doesn’t matter…

Religions seek god…they present a way to communicate.…ways are different for each one but god is the same so why not give space to each person to talk to god in his own manner…why all the fuss about religion…why wars…why crusades…

Thinking that , my thoughts came back to the room. No guilt…no shame…I thanked god for being there with me…and I followed it up with a slumber in peace…
