CeLeBrATiON!!!

Haelo.. how you doin?? I am as usual breathing healthy and celebrating life!! Celebration... hmm what definition does it actually hold? Well dictionary says it means "activities engaged in celebrating something". Now this is where the distinction comes into play, distinction in the reasons of celebration! I guess the topic transcends into multifarious divisions as we move from one individual to another. Festivals.. ahh the biggest celebration for the masses. With gallons of predefined rituals and tools, festivals carry within themselves their own charm of celebration sandwiched in that numinous spirit that we don't feel in our day-to-day lives! Diwali is one festival that actually is close to my heart. There ain't any specific reason for my liking but I enjoy each and every aspect of it with all my spirits! Be it crackers, the Pooja, the fun with family, the sweets all over, exchange of gifts, the emblazon activities, lights all the way, candles - my love and everything else that remains unmentioned, I love it all! Apart from festivals, there are moments of success which call for a mandatory celebration. Hey I've got a job.. lets dine out!! Or I've got my love.. lets make it a grand!! Celebration marks the importance of the moment right away. It gives you a source to express your happiness and recite your feelings to everyone who matters. And then what more can you ask for when your convivial moments are accompanied by your loved ones.. So just PARTY!!
Following in the line are anniversaries and birthdays! And here comes everyone's favorite i.e. Birthdays! In simple words, a birthday marks an incipient life, a nascent journey. Its special as yours belongs to only you! But for me its special because of the angels and cupids who make it so. Can't explain in just words what it feels! Its so beautiful a feeling that there are people who are only busy in making sure that my day would be the best ever for me. They would make all possible and impossible efforts for the day, would go wild thinking over and over to dig out that most exclusive theme that has never been witnessed, heard or even thought of, ache their empty heads round the clock just to remove the slightest imperfection if there is and chuckling what more spice can be added, would let no compromises enter into the scene and then of course would make it absolutely sure that I don't know anything of it!! ( They think so?? Let them ;) ). Its absolute fun to see those mavericks, who never cared for time being wasted, who only enjoy spending severals of hours doing nothing but lying, getting lethargic and passing on those wafer packets from one to another, scheduling each and every second of my day in the most beautiful way that could be possible. In a nut shell, I feel like the princess of nowhere ;) A sort of elysium. And then WHATEVER.. AM LOVIN IT !!!!!!! Those big and small surprises on a single day from your small world of your people can bless you with some moments whose memories can't be amassed in a day or two! Its vapors remain moist for a long time!! You may come and and go on the day itself buddy.. may be for some limited moments, but just wanna say thats lots more than just enough. By the end of the day, all I know is I have some real special people in my life who are there to take very good care of my joys and me too of course :)
LoVe YoU All !!
But at last, tell me something.. do you really think that one actually needs a reason to celebrate?? Ann ann.. I don't really think so! For me, every moment deserves a celebration. Getting gregarious without any reason is somewhat a different kinda fun. Everyone expects gifts on some occasion but those given without any reason or occasion are more valuable for me perhaps. Nothing out there is a small beer, everything needs to be accoladed. And its facile enough. Celebrate because you're free, you're haling good, coz you don't have anything else to do for now or you wanna shout at the highest pitch of yours, celebrate coz you are in a mood to dance, you wanna enjoy some real wild music, do it coz all you guys are together once again ( doesn't matter if you last met a day before only!!), celebrate coz you got the least marks in your sessionals (it surely is tough!!), celebrate coz you've got your guy or celebrate that your search is still on, celebrate just because you want to, you ought to, you deserve to and above all simply because you don't have a reason NOT to!! Work hard, party harder dude. Seeking reasons is waste of time my friend so what are you waiting for??
ITS THE TIME TO DISCO!!
EnJoY!!!!

The world is changing!!

Today we are living in a world which is capable, in itself, of performing every possible task required. Just like the features in our computers, we have the feature of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)in our lives as well. Its just a matter of seconds to incorporate a wild or may be seem-to-be-impossible idea that you might have been contemplating since long and fantasizing about turning it into reality!
Trying making a sprint back to times which didn’t have the existence of a perfect shelter, the first thought that pops up in my mind is “How could they manage surviving in so severe conditions!!”. But the fact is they did because they had to improve and provide a pathway for the world we are living in today. Starting from the ill-equipped shelters, we evolved into houses and then there were huge and beautiful mansions. In feild of transport as well, from the times we had carts, we have reached today when we are facilitated with cars and airbuses.
But did we ever realise that with advancements and technological developments, we are advancing more and more towards various hazards and diseases. Nobody ever encountered the fatal problems of AIDS and Cancer in those times, nor was there the existing devastating terrorism and accidents! Airplanes were a major achievement of mankind, but it brought along with it plane crashes and hijacks! Peace of mind is something that everybody hesitates to confess they have.We are living, sometimes I feel, just for the heck of it. As a mater of tradition, we are born, we grow up learning in a good school, continue our education in some good feild of studies to make sure of our earnings, engage ourselves in a family and keep living till the end of time.
But they say science is getting more and more comforts to us! World is shrinking with advanced techniques of communications. Internet being one major invention that cannot be left out in this respect. Wi-fi and broadband being more advancer! And then with these we have the atomic and nuclear bombs having the capability of destroying the whole planet in a fraction of second! Amazing it sounds that the hands which invent medicines to cure the humanity strive to bring it to a full stop with these weapons! Who knows whats going to happen the next moment in this digital world of 0’s and 1’s? We are at 1 today, we might be at 0 tomorrow! But then again.. WHATEVER!! Friends, its now or never is all I want to say. Don’t postpone anything to tomorrow and make the most of it today itself because they say.. THE WORLD IS CHANGING!!

In the walk of life..

Haelo, am here again!! Life, thankfully and as always, is breathing healthily. I guess its always good to be happy no matter whats going on in the real time ambience of life, it helps - trust me. Its all just your perception.
Well it was only a few moments back when something made me remember a face I had met long time back and with whom I have no contact presently. That took me to a sprint a little back in time and I realised there were so many other such faces which happened to make a difference in my life at a point of time but are nowhere a part of my today, perhaps not even in my memories. I remember a girl living in the adjacent house of mine and we used to have great fun together. Then there was this cherubic boy who used to be the last one in the queue of the school bus stop and happened to be my friend and so many more. Along with these newbie-to-life time faces, there are a few too recent to be forgotten. Each time you tell yourself, we'll maintain a good contact and would continue for a long time but its not consternating that you only remember the incident for a few days and with time, just like any other badinage, it starts attenuating save a few related faces (that too perhaps!) and it all ends up residing, for the rest of the time, in a corner of your memories where you hardly peep, eh? I don't really know what significance lies behind these gossamer-like acquaintances, but I know that they ain't malicious and they give you a sense of temporary happiness. And in todays' world, if you can accustom to even a bit of happiness, something that everyone hesitates to confess they have, its really not a bad deal, its complacent.
Time moves on and on (I wish if I could have a hold over it!!). We always wish we could turn back, to get back to those again, to enjoy those laughters again, to greet those people again and... to listen those words again. Yeah, there are some words, may be said very casually or may be thoughtfully too, which leave an everlasting impression on you! If looking at the future that tells me that I might not have a friend I adore today, makes me upset, at the same time I feel at cloud nine when I hear that friend saying "Kabhi alvida na kahna!". Just imagine you think you are wasting someone's time with your crap conversation, but then you get a scoop "time spent with you is never a wastage but always a memory!". They mean it or not.. does it really matter?? For me, it doesn't matter at all! All that matters is the message encapsulated and the feelings that lay hidden inside. They say "you bring out the best in me!" and that makes me feel diffident. Again, WHATEVER, words do matter, they can heal anything even before the most effective medicine - time. And then here on this memoir too, i'd like to add up
" Its only words and words are all I have to take your heart away!"

In the walk of life, you come across millions of faces daily and there is no one to tell you who among them can be a congenial part of your life, one who will strive to foster you and your life. Out of adoloscence you tend to believe in everyone and be friends to all of them but with time, you end up retaining with only a handful of them! Sounds chagrin? But here I'd rather say that if you really still have those handful ones on your couch, whats only missing is a mug of coffee.. well its time to party my dear!
So EnJoY!!!
Adieu

Hurray..exams are back!!

Hiyeee, am back!! (Can't really say with a bang ;) )!! Life is flowing smooth, as in am happy with the "excess" amount of vellapan I am into these days !! The title might have appeared a bit strange to most of you! Thats pretty blatant! Well studies, like everyone else, are an arcane to me too! Actually exam time is something that has always been overloaded with endless fun and somewhat extra masti than the rest part of the semester for me!! Mahn!! I still remember the first sem exam days... superb!! And the fun continues rather accrues till date!! Those abstemious creatures (me n my roomies), in a matter of seconds, would turn into big time food-alchoholics!! It only takes a tickle of any one of us and there starts the food hunt, though it would start and end at the next door ;)!! (Actually our only hope!) Then the series of events.. finally fixing up something to eat and all of us attacking on it!! And not just once, but many a times, we realise after getting over with our royal treat that the food deserved to be thrown out long ago rather than consumed - non-comestible!!! And then there goes one or may be two of us brooding over it and rest not giving a damn to it!! Who cares anyways!!
According to the sources, round about 10 fold increase in the late night gossips have been noticed along with more of partying and pranking around ;)!! Thanks to these beautiful days, I have come to know my friends a lot better !! ( I mean it!!). The most deepest secrets would be revealed in our so-called sessions!!! Sharing our childhood experiences - both funny and memorable, analysing what we have been and where is the life leading, contemplating the obvious future (which is always accompanied by a feeling of reluctance to face it!!), discussing society and people in our own adoloscent ways, fearing to grow up and face the world, getting nostalgic and the list goes on and on..! And how can then we leave out the most sought out topic - CRUSHES!! Every discussion, irrespective of its origin, would result into the "crush discussion". Be it a minor or a major one, none of crushes is left undiscussed and to add spice, the common replies on them would be - "goshh.. you never told us you had a crush on him!!", "Hmm.. So when did it all start?", "hey how do you feel?", "you think he is interested too?", "ya ya.. I saw you noticing him the other day!!", "any common friend?". And if that person happens to own a gf already, then it goes something like "ahh.. you could have been better than her!!", "he is wasting his time!!" and last but not the least "Yaar you can still try to oust her!!" and in the worst case.. "forget it!! He is not my type!!".. Attitude haan!! And then waiting for each other's turn to uncurtain the exciting name(s). And surely the discussion would continue for hours and hours!!

That temporary abeyance of study to do away with the boredom and frustation would last for hours and the best part is "doing nothing at all!!". Be it listening songs, having a talk with a friend, reading novel, taking a nap or anything else.. it surely won't be just a break.. it will be a lot more to it!!
And then it comes one-day-before-the-exam time. All those carefree and fun craving people getting assiduously involved in the cognitive activities, engrossed in a sincere effort to ensure passing marks, planning to sacrifice the adorable sleeping hours, skipping meals to make up time to study, getting tensed from the meagre prep and even more tensed when you see others REVISING..here we go annotating ourselves and uttering in abject worry "yaar we are screwed!! hum kitna time waste karte hain!!", "next time we'll be very serious since the very first day" and etc etc!! But as usual the legacy continues.. And WHATEVER, as soon as the exam is over, the million fun sprees are back!! These days truly form the most cherished moments of my hostel rather entire life (though it might seem an irony!!), all-time bajna bajana, the never-ending fun and never-getting-serious attitude! These moments actually are something I would miss like hell after leaving the college!! Wish I could live this life forever!

EnJoY!!

Try abstainig your emotions going wasted on anybody or everybody for that matter, just take light and live every nano-second as a top class zealot! Fall into the abyss of life and amass as much of fun as you can!! Live life as if there won't be any tomorrow following the dusk of today!!!
Keep it cool !!!

Life's speedometer..

Okay, once again I am back to the analysis of life! Guess I am throwing myself too much into the speculations but thats only something all over my mind for a considerable period of time now. Couldn't really resist to jot down.
It was only another normal day which, oddly enough, changed the direction of everything related to my life. Man!! I got a placement! The feeling was too overwhelming in itself that it was almost difficult to digest it. In a matter of few miutes, I felt on cloud nine and thought myself capable of doing something I had always longed to - change the world! Everyone seemed to be happy with my piece of success. Though the opportunity had come unexpected, I was somewhere getting apprehensive contemplating the very obvious thought - "Is it that I am gonna do it?". I had everyone around me, ensuring me of my unknown-to-me impeccable qualities ( because I hardly think I own any!). The feeling could be of disappointment, not of myself, but of all those who have been investing their faith in me. The very phrase "Don't worry yaar, I'm sure you'll crack it!" always gets high on my nerves. And there I was saying to myself "How could you be so sure when I am just not!". But thats the way things go, so does the life perhaps. And when finally I encountered the good news, the only thing I was inerested in, apart from my happiness, was to know their reactions. It sometimes, rather most of the times, becomes hard to live up to the expectations but as a matter of experience I can say, being in your senses, being completely yourself and having a bit of faith is all you need to get through! Success surely accelerates the pace of life with intense entuhsiasm and profoundness but when life knows how to bolster you, it very well knows how to get you back at ease as well. So beware!

Relations play a very vital role in one's life. If you own some, on whom you think you can count with your eyes shut, I guess there is nothing much left to ask God for. And they are the one's who are the prime reason of accelerating the pace of your life in your good time or may be bad for that matter. It feels great to know that someone is happy, perhaps more than you, on your big day. Not only this, they make you feel at ease when you are actually not. And for this, it could be anyone, may be your parents, your siblings or may be friends. And its then when one of them betrays unexpectedly, life seems to come to an abrupt halt. The speedometer seems to read an absolute zero. But when you encounter few of such similar times, it only takes a few days' time to believe that thats what life is all about! Nonetheless, I still have, not few but many such people who can hasten up my speed anytime. So believe in life be it good or bad.. WHATEVER.. but the show must go on! I am not really sure what crap I wrote above, but I couldn't really elaborate myself more!! EnJoY!!

An attempt to discover the beauty of South India...

Very lately I got an opportunity to discover the beauty of a part of the peninsular India which included parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerela. Though the entire tour was an amazingly new experience to me but certain parts, or places I should say, left an everlasting impression on me!
The first morning was scheduled to move towards the very popular temple of Tirupathi Balaji. I was excited to go to the holy place as I had heard whole lot of praises of the place and wanted to discover the place in real. The long queue of the relegion lovers that had to be followed to reach the end was enough for anyone to guess and estimate the faith and purity people feel for the almighty. There was an unusual enthusiasm within me, a feeling both religious and divine in itself and I could see the same enthusiasm in all of us rather everybody present there. They say approx one crore people visit this holy shrine daily. I felt a reluctance to believe this formerly but when I got to witness the reality, I was sure it could be more than a crore as well. After going through the long queue of the devotees, I entered the main temple where the almighty was worshiped in idol. There was a power in the picture that stood in front of me, a power that made me want to stay there for a longer period of time than was allowed, a power that left an ever lasting impression on me and made me believe that if millions of people surrender their faith here daily, they certainly have a valid reason to do so. I WAS TOUCHED!
The second place that I surely cannot forget is Kodaikanal hill station. This was a place I was most excited to go. I always had a wish to visit this hill station. As we were approaching near to it, climate was becoming colder than before and this told me that along with the beautiful surroundings, I am gonna enjoy my favorite weather as well - winters. The beauty of the place is perhaps beyond the scope of my words. It had a splendid blend of nature, climate and terrain. Just a rough glimpse of the place forced us to spare a day extra to enjoy the serenity of the beautiful place. Early morning we left to discover the higher areas of Kodaikanal. The way to the sights was walled with long, tall and dense trees which added to the beauty of the place. Suicide point is a popular sight of the hill station which is said to have witnessed suicide of many people. The point was at a height that was attractive in itself enough to make a determined person implement his suicidal intentions. But to me it was scary, may be because heights have always been scary to me. Then comes the lake that forms the heart of Kodaikanal. Flowers of lotus blooming in the still waters, clouds touching the surface of the water, golden rays of sun piercing the clouds to reach the water surface making it shine like million pearls, birds flying over, tall and beautiful auricaria trees bordering it on all the sides – the lake was a place that I would say “Heaven on earth”! Watching the lake at the dusk of the day was probably the most romantic picturesque I have ever came across. By the end of the day, I was completely in love with the place – every aspect of it, may be climate, its beauty, the serenity, the natural front and everything. If given a chance, I would love to inhabit this stupendous place for the rest of my life!
Beaches were another sight that are worth quoting. Walking on the borders where soft water would wet your feet, cool breeze striking against your face, is a feeling that forces you to believe that heaven is not just a collaboration of thoughts, but can actually exist!! As I experienced, in early hours of the morning, when no one really is around, the only sound that could be heard is of the rising and falling waves. The sound of waves, at one moment is similar to the applause of millions of people appreciating you for nothing while, the next moment, the sound is one that is challenging and inviting. The all day water adventure at the beaches left us completely drawn but then WHATEVER – WHO CARES!!!
Kanyakumari is a place which sees the junction where the three large water bodies i.e. The Bay of Bengal, The Indian Ocean and The Arabian Sea meet. The water at this junction reflects three different colors which is a beautiful sight again! Now how on earth can two liquids remain separate and reflect their individual color!! Amazing it was! The south India completely is surrounded with water all over accompanied by greenery that is entirely natural and beautiful. Absolute natural beauty, if one wishes to see, well here is the place you must not leave unchecked!! A place that promises you absolute peace of mind, healthy environment flooding with blue-green water everywere you move your eye-ball and coconut trees and ofcourse not to forget - idli, sambhar and dosa!!
