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!
