Another DAY goes by

I’m highly inspired and impressed by Baharul’s ‘Another year goes by‘ post on his blog.

Yes, changes are all around us! As I see it, and also mentioned a few times here, that it is the trans-mode phase of the life right now. In almost bloody every aspect of life. Sigh! It is ONE of those TRANS-mode phases in life.

Life is fun these days though. Sometimes it is nice to sit back and relax, thinking about it! Yes of course, this is something which would definitely bring in mixed feelings on to our mind. Of what IS important! Of what we think is! Of what we always thought was! Of what we never though   t! Vague? yeah, can’t help!

I haven’t been away from family ever before Kolkata. Though when at home, I was always an independent chap, So it isn’t that tough! Its fun infact! But what I miss the most these days is them. Specially when I eat alone every afternoon. Or have dinner late at night.

Back at home, mom would always tell us, me and my brother, to have at least the dinner with them. But I’ve always have this habit of eating alone later at night. So did my brother. I guess he still does. But now I hate it. Though I can’t, yes can’t do a thing about it. I’ve tried!

Right now, as I write this, I can also recollect my trip to Delhi a month back. The most I miss are the ‘jam sessions’ I had with my brother. Singing along as he played the guitar. Marvelous! I wish to relive those moments again, soon!

‘Over the years I have realized that whenever you compare your lives at different stages nostalgia always wins’, as mentioned by him just ’so’ very touched me! I sort of realize that how we always talk about how great our lives were and how much fun we had with our school or college gang, without realizing that the other person also likes appreciation. Be fair to your present friends. But at the same time I ‘wish’ hope to be discussing my current friends later in life. The irony is whom do we think we will be talking about, and whom would we actually do? errr!

So, as every day pass and the more I love it with the acceptance that for anyone, investment in oneself is the most important thing right now. Trans-mode remember? Its fun! Its exciting! And I’m looking forward to more challenging stuff coming up soon!

Charu, how are you?

Yeah! I’m great!

That day will come!

This morning! In a friend’s car! While going to college! Great Music!

It so happens that the song ‘ik din ayega’ (Jal) started playing. *(read, A day will come)

Sitting at the window seat, looking outside, lost in nostalgia, lost in thoughts, and smiling. I didn’t realize when we reached college. It was a short route anyway. It reminded me of a lot of the time spent together with my friends during my graduation days. Vibhor and I would always sing this song and tell each other how good our lives would be, henceforth…

Lately, the idea of the existence of a cycle for one’s social behavior keeps coming to my head. Its that time of the life. All of our lives revolve around the concept of being an extrovert-ambivert-introvert. Circumstances play a huge role in how our lives are molded. The challenge for us is to be in control of one’s life. ONE’S OWN LIFE.

Teri Aankein Ab Hongi Na Kabhi Nam
Tu Jo Dekh Leh, Toh bhula doon Mein Saarein Gum
Tu Jo Chahein Toh.. Badlega Mausam..

… Of how good our lives would be, no matter…! hmmm!

Dil Tu Rona Nahin,
Khwaab Adhure Nahin… Ik Din Ayega…!

One Weird World

One Weird World! Oh yes!

“envy, jealousy, malice and pride… these must never in your heart abide…”… This is taken from one of the hymns that we used to sing in the morning assembly back in school. But it still keeps coming on to my head time and again. Even now!

I’m home for about a week right now. And there’s nothing SPECIAL or EXTRAORDINARY that I’m doing, but the feeling is just so GREAT! Is life the way we percieve it to be?

Life has a lot to do with the people we are with… They say that the personality of a person is developed right away at how he was at school. I firmly agree. Then comes the family, the peer group etc etc. The people around has a lot of impact on the way we work or do things. Sometimes even how we form opinions and percieve things.

Whenever I go to a mall, and look at the crowd, I’m amused. I dont want to sound idealistic but looking at them I see emptiness all around. I see different sets of masks. I see people talking, not even looking at each others eyes. Horrible!

Coming back home means great music too! I have been listening to a lot, a lot of Floyd past three days now! Floyd-esque!

“Running over the same old ground, how we found; the same old fears… Wish you were here…!“

I really don’t know what I was supposed to be writing. Its GREAT to be random at times. I love it.

One Weird World? Damn it!

Midsem Madness!

Sunday                12:45 am

Tomorrow is when the midsem exams begin! Forced midsem exams indeed!

“Learn to manage, you are future managers” Shit!

Uhh I have indeed managed pretty well, that I haven’t gone much through the books. Infact sailing my way through a new addiction on facebook. This crazy taxi game. Wow! Midsem madness= Midtown madness for me right now.

Infact not just for me, but for almost all my friends around. Everyone is stuck on to their laptops trying to hit that highest score. Its fun. I’m loving it.

And no one is bothered. That adds to the great feeling!

Oh and its the ‘happy friendships day’ today! It doesnt amuse me much though! Its like just another day to me! Everyday is a friendships day for me! Yeah I know it sounds a bit loser-ish; but still!

So!

ummm…

I used to say; Life is an open book but it depends which pages you’ve read; and now; life is still that book, you know, though now it depends, what pages you’ve bothered opening!

A lot has happened past couple of days, stuff I might not be able to share over here! Ups and downs! Life eh!
