I want to go back to country side

Last night I slept too well… I woke up with my lips swollen :p you know what that means..ya I was doing the same old thing I use to do when I was a kid… it gives me the best sleep. (kapda sunghna as my parents call it), well most of the taurians do that.
So I had the good conversation last night with one of my friends and he is great. He prayed for me to god so that I stop getting daily nightmares and he is always available when I need him and we spent good time together talking before I crashed on the bed.

So I woke up at 11 in the morning… I saw more than half of my bed was filled with books and I was wondering how I slept so well and my blanket seemed the best comforting thing to me ever. I woke up and changed my clothes to go outside to ride my bike so that I loose some weight. See I love food and a lot and I am not having non veg from past two weeks on a plan to quit it, but the whole idea of loosing weight is different for me. Many girls loose weight to have their boyfriend stay, many to flirt and many under parents pressure and many to prove that they are under stress and begging for attention. But I am loosing weight to fit into a saree. Its been so long since I have worn one. I can wear all clothes at whatever it takes in whatever shape I am but saree is one thing I want it to fit perfectly. I have a fantasy for wearing sarres. I love them.

So I go out and get my old red bike. I go out of my gate riding the bike, it was fun…its not the normal fake fun or hey hey its fun look I am ridding a bike, no it was like…hell yeah I am having to much fun coz hey you look I am back to my childhood. I went on the streets, of course it was almost afternoon and it was sunny…. I felt the sun pour the heat into my skin and I was like…”doesn’t this feel like those winter vacations when my parents and grandparents stay out in the afternoon to soak some heat and everyone is enjoying it.” Those childhood memories just seemed to be the ones I was living again. On my way I saw cute little girls playing with stones and building something’s and the little boys of course playing cricket. Nothing has changed since my childhood and what I see today is, boys still wear those patchy pants with I dunoo million of extra attached cloth pieces with I don’t know words written like “brave” “get me” “I am the best” and all…
With every house I passed on my way I could smell so many kinds of shampoo’s. it is like you know always on holidays people clean their hair to avoid hair loss and everyone’s house smelling like shampoos of n no of brands all over their houses. Some old aunties were sitting out drying their hair and watching their children and grandchildren playing on the street.

I could smell great jilabi’s and samosa as I passed couple of dhabba’s and I smiled at myself for feeling this aroma again. I saw lots of trees and plants and bushes too. I wondered while passing through them daily, I never noticed them at all. Yes they are the same plants I used to pluck and play in my “kitchen kitchen” game. Ah! Everything is the same. But people have changed and time is running faster than anything making it very hard for us to halt and think about the old times. The girls with all pink and white and all colourful clothes playing, birds chirping and too many bikes kept in a row. Everyone cleaning their houses, in fact my mom was preparing the house for the puja and my dad was cleaning our cars. Everyone was busy. It just felt like a Sunday when everyone is spending time with house and family and doing things together. It had been almost 10 years since I had felt this way with the moods in the atmosphere followed buy the smells and colours and smiles and joy and pressure and so many things that pull me into my childhood. It was just wonderful. The last thing I saw when I parked my cycle was an old car which had a pink bunny hanging on its mirror and a laughin Buddha is when I crashed to the p.c.

So the day was good so far but my friends are upset with me coz I don’t spend time with them and everything which brings me back to quit all the good feelings are get busy in this fast moving life without peace and happiness. I want to taste all the baked bread and chappati's and all chulha made cusines and watch all the kids playing and singing and that atmosphere of pure pleasure and comfort.

Daily Death Of Mahatma Gandhi...

LOL

My Warm Evening with Tommy in my ARMS!

I was passing by my house street with my friend and i saw this puppy alone...i played with him and later the kids playing there told me that his mom died and he is all by himself alsone...so i got him home and gave him bread to eat...i though he wanted water but he didnt drink. so i gave him a shower,just to clean him. but he caught cold and started crying and i felt so bad coz of my stupidity. then my mom and my friend with my brother helped me get him wipped and all wrapped up. later i made him go 2 sleep and he slept for a couple of hours.
I named him TOMMY! it just popped into my head.
later when he woke up he started crying again. and then i went to hold him....he ran towards me and jumped from the grills into my arms and rested peacefully. it was the best moment of my life. i loved watching him all wrapped up in my arms after my cruel acts of washing him.
i am sorry Tommy! i <3 you!
But mom doesnt like dogs so i had to leave him to the place i got him from...i just dont feel good anymore. i think it is best for him but still i want him so bad coz he is the only one who loves me and it shows when he is all in my arms...
i love you so much Tommy! I just do!
xoxo

Republic day!

Resolutions 2011!

I was that kinda person who writes online diary every night, hold teddy's every night coz i just cant go to sleep without holding something(so as you know my boyfriend doesnt like holding), i made resolutions every year and yes! i really was a believer of christmas and santa's in them and valentines and soul mates in them...but this year it turned out to be different and i have thrown away all my hell yeah i <3 to do things...So basically no resolutions...
The biggest change than all of the above would be: i have stopped social networking..Like hell-ooo??? thats so not me...never has been but its coz my boyfriend thinks it isnt cool....so...wow! i like doing things he does!
No i am not being a copy cat <---FYI



yesterday my boyfriend made me write a few lines as in resolutions for new years...well...hey!i wont cut myself!
lets see how long he stays and attached string to him stays! :)


Happy new year guys...i know i have posted so many things after New years but i was too busy reading my old blogs and stuffs at my end so couldnt wish you!
So hey! keep up your resolutions and make new ones everyday not just every year! :)
And yeah! Santa doesnt exist!

Cheers!

Things I am worried about...

This is since new years..I just cant get sleep whole night..

Dedicated to my boyfriend...the typical "Our Conversation"

<3 and sometimes get irritated too!

This is like me and my mom and i am sure its like you and your mom ;p

This is dedicated to all the boys who have difficulty in dealing with their girlfriends and yet wanna have girlfriends...

"WHY"

Life is short, is it? I wonder how. Since we meet so many people everyday and learn so many things and trust me its long and very long atleast for a human to find answers to his/her questions. I have my own. Lets see how many are answered.

Often in life when we grow up we love our grandparents and when you are old enough to know what they mean to you…they leave you. Why? Same is with parents

In the journey of life we meet new people everyday. Some get real close in very short time span but as time passes by, why are we so taken for granted? Where do all those concerns fade away? Where does the daily conversation evaporate and go away leaving you with doing nothing but missing them.

When we are happy and we make promises we intend to keep, how come with time they fade away? Why are they often broken? If you weren’t sure if the promises wont be kept then why are they made? Why making the people loose their way?

What is care?

Who are friends?

You have some people sent to you by god’s in that particular period of time when you need serious help. You treat them as best friend or angel. But why do they stay for a while and then get other commitments and enroll in their life forgetting you. They leave you behind.

Why is it difficult to understand the youth by the parents and why cant the youth do things right enough to make elders understand that everything Is under control?

Why is everything like sand? When you want to feel it, you hold it and it keeps slipping down you hand and in no time they are gone. Its not a complain but why can people just stay forever. Why can best friends always be there as they had been before all the time? What is so difficult in this?

Why when we want to die so bad that it becomes so difficult to even find one single reason to live hard and still we survive and when will want to live and wish to never let the moment pass us by, within a blink of your eyes its all gone.

You often fall in love with people who mesmerize your soul and like seasons they are gone. All the feelings are like capsules which come with expiry dates. Why cant people just love and love and care and be together forever? Why is it so difficult to work things out? Why waiting due to ego is never breaking the silence? Why conversation becomes so difficult to be conducted? Why every time spent together is forgotten?

When time passes, why do people change? When one cries the other one becomes heartless? Why do people kill? Why are we being judged? Why are we compared? Why are we distinguished? Why do all the expectations turn out to be the biggest fault? Why trusting people become a punishment? Why is everyone so cruel? Where is peace and love gone? Why is every simple thing turned into a complex thing. Why is everyone so heartless?

To every human, Quit smoking this year with nicorette!

This Year Quit SMOKING with Nicorette.
we breathe the same AIR!
Thank You!

Nicorette is a brand of chewing gum designed as a smoking cessation aid - it is not the name of this category of products. I would call the overall category 'smoking cessation aids' or 'nicotine based smoking cessation aids' or something like that. Commit is the lozenge form of this product. These products are made with 'nicotine polacrilex' which is a purified (extracted or synthesized - I'm not sure) form of nicotine which is easy to adsorb through the mouth. I don't know much about what is in 'the patch' (nicoderm), but my comments below apply to 'the patch' as well.

These products ('nicotine based smoking cessation aids') work because they give a smoker their 'fix' of nicotine while they stop smoking. However, there is a behavioral and psychoactive component to nicotine addiction. Thus, smokers are addicted to nicotine but also have years of performing the physical acts of smoking which become habit - the hand to mouth ritual, the coffee/newspaper ritual, the regular break with co-workers, etc. Thus, smokers have to kick their nicotine addiction AND re-arrange the associated behaviors. These products work by letting smokers deal with re-arranging those behaviors while giving them a convenient format to slowly wean off the nicotine habit.

The relative importance of the psychopharmacological/behavioral aspects of the smoking experience may have something to do with how successful use of these 'nicotine based cessation aids' will be for an individual smoker.

If a smoker becomes addicted to one of these 'nicotine based smoking cessation aids' the net effect would probably be greatly beneficial for the smoker anyway. Nicotine has some cardiovascular problems (and is toxic in high doses) - it's main is evilness lies in it's addictive properties. I'm not even sure if nicotine itself is carcinogenic - but PLENTY of other stuff in tobacco is. So - developing a habit with nicotine gums/lozenges isn't great, but I would wager that it certainly safer than smoking.

asphyxiated

Its been long since I have felt something different from my heart that I could write about. Besides exams and everything I had a busy schedule so not much out here.

Well today I really felt like writing. Its like all of a sudden. I turned on my t.v, don’t know after like how many ages and saw another movie. Well it brought out a lot of my memories and faults but well…I really think its…its kinda wrong on god’s part.

Like when people want to die, they should get all d serious diseases on this planet and all the tough times so that they commit suicide. But what is the fault for millions of those people who don’t want to die but are caught in a web where they just cant help but die.

I never thought that people want to live. I really don’t see any reason today I am living. I really am doing something I am so not into. I am with people who so are not from my league. I have a life which is almost boring and I have personally nobody to share things with. I know if you have read all my blogs by now you would know my metamorphoses from a small town girl to an undefined human. Nobody knows me and nobody knows whats possibly going in my head. I myself don’t know. So well yeah my best friends are fine and they are still with me but I think I have grown a little responsible and more of an introvert. Well I am planning to stick to that and most importantly I would work on not letting people know that I aint sharing. With a girl like me who speaks so much and straight forward its getting to hard these days. Its like I am standing in the pouring rain on a chilly night and telling myself that I can bear the pain until I go numb and I die.

Well so the movie, I saw this female lead saying words like “people who do want to live are forced by nature to die and people who don’t want to live commit suicide. I have been insane at this suicide thing when I got less marks in math and had a severe break up. I tried a lot of shits but honestlt it didn’t work and hell yea I am bloggin so it so proves.
What I always wanted was not to be and outstanding star or popular or a rock star or some brilliant or genius kid or even a princess. In reference to my green red frock’s blog, I think I kind of lived a part of it pretty well but again I landed up doing mistakes.well the last entire year I didn’t cut as per my resolutions but its like this temptation and I feel like doing it. My parents love me and so do my friends and family but that isn’t an enough reason I find to stay alive. I really don’t think it’s the thing for me. This place is so not for me. What is it interesting about…music, books, love, friends… I think I have had all of those good plus bad experiences before and really I don’t see a point I should be living for.

So what is the point I am looking forward that could make me live… I don’t want to be some rock star or a super good engineer. Woha inoway. I just want to be me and that me would be doing something I like which is honest and which is fun to do and for me comes a little easy than other things. I want to enjoy it and do it with great passion. I am 20 and yet am hunting for a reason to live. Isn’t that too much. Nobody understands that its not my work. I don’t have somebody I am looking for and neither my grades getting any better and nor I am interested in doing it. What reason am I left to survive for. The population is growing large and I am a burden. Its like I am lost in neverland. Its like a don’t know what I am doing but its defiantly not what I want to do. I don’t enjoy myself and I don’t even do good things to myself anymore. Once I was that girl who did things which she liked and trust me had no keep terms KT and no problem in life. Those days I used to smile, stay happy, got great friends to share things with, I love sharing ..you know that …all I can do is scream to the world and give it all away and stay appy in myself and now its like I am stuck with things all across my head and honestly I don’t see forty winks of any help or any such halo of hope that things will be okay. Everything around me is messed up. I took a bloody course that make me cry to bed daily planning how to tell my parents I cant do it if only they’d understand. I just don’t wanna do this anymore.i don’t want to see anyone any more and just hate this whole world around me, the atmosphere of great torture pulling me down in chains and locking me up in a cage and you know what I am crying out for help but there is no one to save me. In my head I see only bunch of orange and green lights with long dark stripes which just keeps on coming and going every now and then with the whole weird pattern revolving around my eyes. I need to LIVE okay. I want to live my life could somebody just take me in. I just don’t want to do this anymore. I am not killing myself anymore provided you let me have my way. Why nobody on this planet trusts me or puts me to sleep in when I cry every night? Why the whole world seems to be against me in this. Can I just fly please? Why have everyone clipped my wings and always make me realize the fact that I should be greatful to everyone that they haven’t cut them down. It feels like the least space I have to move or breathe. Its seems like the baby in a mom’s womb has got much more space to move that me. I suffocate, stutter, stumble and fall again and again in everything I do. Nothing ever falls into place and honestly I am sick of trying. No metal isn’t any help and nor anyone those dumb lame drinks or drugs because I think they can do no help. I had a remedy but hell yeah people think that’s lame and I am insane and It makes me looks ugly. Give me a reason bloody reason what could be uglier than the fact that I am nobody and I am looking for something I cant have. Lie, steal, beg, cry, dope, drink, runaway, bite, suicide…..what what what the hell on this planet could I do that save me from this world of perfection and forced living.

On top of all things I am going through damn people come and give me the shit that I should live because others who want to cant. Its nature’s mistake okay not mine.
I didn’t ask them to kill others who want to live. I just ask for those reasons that would make me want to live. And honestly friends and parents are not enough. They can buy you short time happiness.., only the work you do from your heart and success you get in it is the reason to live. The challenges and I right people. Apparently I have none of those. So hell yeah please take me away. I want to breathe and stop choking.

Would someone please buy me life?

WISH!

As every1 of you know I’m so talkative…hahaha…I can talk about things I like, things I so dislike, things in general and things randomly no1 understands…I can talk talk and talk and trust me in a loud pitch without any energy supplement…Beat that..ahan! Mostly I like to talk about My World….be it twitter, myspace, blogs, facebook, textz and IMz…I am so an open book baby! But 2de im gonna write about a small word which means a lot to every1 even when sum1 is happy and even whn sum1 is sad….During happiness you want it 2 last 4ever like it is…and when Sad you want things to change 2 happiness….In the end you Want, be it a change or stability…You WISH things to stay the happy way or get better…But every1 WISHES…. Wish depends upon people to people…Beggers wish for money, poor people wish for 2wice a day’s meal, illiterate wishes for knowledge, farmers for good yield, people suffering from AIDS wish 4 a miracle, Old people wish not to die and watch theirs next ++ generations, Girls in the rural areas wish for freedom, a business man wishes for Profit ++, every1 wishes for wisdom and money in short….. Some people wish for life…The reason maybe a non-terminating disease or lost faith, it maybe some human or some strong principles, it can be a missing body part or unbearable sufferings of one’s loved…A tear in every1’s eye maybe be there but various reasons…. fighting the truth and wishing for a miracle….Even if a girl goes through the worst situations in her life that she has no option except death she should once think of the one’s who r craving to live…I don’t say life gives you what you want or is good or even worth living….but giving it a try is not bad! Like one thinks of trying vodka, cigars, drugs, girls/guys, love , unsuccessful attempts…You should try life once with all d love and positivity inside…Trust me I have tried…It’s hard but not impossible…Still if life doesn’t work out the way you want then its up2 you! Many people wish for clothes, my younger sister when asked to wish, she wished for a t.v. in her room…hahaha..different people different wishes….some want to change school, class, parents, hostel, husband, teachers, houses and always wish for a better one…Every1 who wishes for himself/herself always wishes for better and best… But do the wishes really come true??? I wont count Luck as a factor here….just a little voice in my head says…the wishes are all recorded in a long wish book ….every1 every second makes a wish and everything is recorded her…but the so many people wish so many things and only 1 wish provider, it cant fulfill all the wishes at that very time…So the wishes which come with the expiry dates get exhausted and never fulfilled if it doesn’t reach the wish provider’s knowledge and the rest are still being processed and many processed….I don’t know who wishes what but a standard wish is always a smile on a person’s face…A joker cries from within but makes every1 in audience smile…FYI I am not a joker but I would like to make every1 smile…whenever I could and whatever I can haan…. So a free hug with hilarious video for every1 down to smile at… Guys I wish, you wish and every1 wishes…No matter if it is a gin, shooting star, wishing well, or a still empty pot…It’s just the belief…not the thing u look at and wish… This blog is just based upon the song AIRPLENES with the most b’ful lines… “Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars…I could really use a wish right now, wish ryt now, a wish right now!” I wish all the people who want to live…their wish should come true. The poors and depressed people’s wish should come true… I wish PEACE would wrap our planet like a blanket so thay every1 stays warm and loving! This one is for the people who are under depression and stopped smiling due to the worst things encountering them.
And this is for all the kids suffering from hunger, un-curable diseases and lost hope!

I hope that your wishes come true… Love Avie XOXO The worst conditions where humans wished: http://www.funonthenet.in/forums/index.php?topic=116940.0 http://phukettsunami.blogspot.com/ http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/s/survivor5.htm http://www.cry.org/ http://www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/science/global_warming.htm http://www.countercurrents.org/gathia090708.htm

to be continued...in hurry will be back

I am A wonderful Human!

Now everything in life comes with time… if you go grab it within time…its yours…else its gone keep you wondering why…
Life is weird…when we over estimate ourselves we get nothing…and like me if u underestimate yourself, you again get nothing…But how do you know which is the level you are at…
My best friends and my mom always say that I take things negatively and that I always underestimate myself…well they were right. A message from my best friend one night changed my thinking…Like a selfish pig I always want her to stay with me and be by my side….so I agreed to do what she suggested me to…She is never wrong and her 6th sense is SO never wrong…Whatever she’s been telling me from past 8 months just came true…Anyways, I never believed her coz I never thought I was good enough or positive in thinking…
Something’s in the past few weeks were good as well as bad… Now I honestly don’t know what I thought was wrong or right…I hide my emotions is true and I am okay with it….Well wait a minute I guess not…I have realized that…but I am still wondering and working upon it…if I should let it show or not…
Sometimes you want something and you hope it would be with you with time…or maybe you hope that the things may go the way they are without any disturbance and the moment going on could last long enough to make things strong for it to last longer in future. Most of the people don’t think that way and hence that moment crashes with needs and falls apart, leaving us with nothing…
When the things you hate the most revolves around you to make you feel worse again and again…the pain inside starts to fade away or maybe we get use to it and feel numb... I am in such a situation right now… Everything in my life now, honestly SUCKS….nothing is falling into place….I am in a total lost situation….Like even if you are having a single problem or two is okay but in my case I am bombarded with at least 12-13 problems now… All the things I wanted, want and will want have slipped away… I have had dreams of all my 13 problems to be fulfilling but some friends broke the trust, some people didn’t approach, some figures went wrong, time wasn’t right, I haven’t put in much effort, chose wrong people, chose wrong ways, kept things inside and a lot more… The worst problem…which is not a problem but a wound perhaps is a three story mixed in one…1 person knows 2 stories and the other 2 know all the 3 stories… Now why on this planet God is so unfair so let 2 people know 3 stories and the one who should know the 3 stores knows only 2 of them…..1 person is innocent, 1 is sacrificing and the other one too cunning…Whatever!

After like so many problems which are “actual problems”, the real ones and not the ones I make up for myself…. I am seriously tired of sulking, crying, hurting, cutting, attempting suicide etc… No one cares honestly and the biggest truth is that the people or the things you do it for, don’t even give a damn. So why punishing myself…? I never punish myself for others but for my mistakes. I wonder why do I even care for the things that matter the least. Ah maybe that is me… So after my best friends text message and my zillion of genuine problems… I didn’t hurt myself… Yes I cried thrice and had a low day too but when you tell everything to your best friends and you mom, everything feels okay… they support you and show you the right way… They help you get out of such situations which are of course too hard to do but you have to do it, no choice is given…
For the first time in my life I felt that I am a nice person and that I have so many people who love me coz they see the true me, who I am…. I am a nice person and that I have never realized it before. I do understand things and act like a grown up nowadays…. I hide my actual emotions and pretend to be happy…. At least for a while I make people happy, divert myself from the negative things happening in life and think positive. My best friends and my mom are proud of what I have done… I actually turned out to be a true human today who sacrifices and compromises and smiles in pain… I have a few best people in my life and maybe that’s why I am tested again and again. I am proud of myself for what I have done and trust me it feels so much better now, kinda guilt free…And for the first time, I’m so happy for the person I am today. I feel lucky to be born as a human.

I thank the universe creator for everything!

The story behind the the whole thing which made me a good person will be comming soon! ;P

...Save Tigers...

In an effort to save the remaining tigers in India, the Indian conservation group Tiger Trust (TT) has begun to work to help the tigers in India's Kanha and Bandhavgarh tiger reserves.

Currently, India's tiger population is being seriously threatened by poaching and territory loss. Many traditional medicine markets require tigers, and the growing population of people and cattle in India are taking over land that had been formerly occupied by tigers.

Though there were once as many as 150,000 tigers in the world, there are now only about 4,000-5,000. Of the original eight species of tigers, only three are still in existence.

Today, there are about 2,500 of the Indian Royal Bengal tigers left. There are also 1,000 Indo-Chinese tigers, 300 Siberian tigers, 300 Sumatran tigers and 20 South China tigers.

As a result, the Indian tigers seem to be the most likely to survive in the future. However, it will even be difficult for them, and their chance of survival might be quite low.

Every day, one Indian tiger dies. If this rate of death is allowed to continue, all species of tigers throughout the world will be extinct by 2010.

To prevent this scenario, the Save-the-Tiger Campaign and Project Tiger have successfully created tiger reserves and convinced the Indian government to ban tiger hunting. In the longer term, the groups hope to educate the Indian people about the threat of the extinction of the tigers so that they can help to ensure the tiger's survival.

| My Soul Sings |

Back when I was in 7th grade. I still remember I was lying on my couch just feeling low for some reason. I wasn’t into listening to music much. And I felt that American music was dumb. I used to watch a show, POV on channel [V] which was hosted by Kim. I loved that show coz people from all parts of India used to send creative drawings; posters etc…and requested songs. It used to come everyday at 8pm I suppose. So that night I was changing channels and switched to POV. I saw a female running on an empty street, feeling all alone and asking for help from someone who could hold her and make her feel right…she didn’t know who he was but she was with him. That was the 1st song I ever liked and that was the day when I felt so connected to music. I just felt that girl was me for some reason, I don’t know. I just felt she was like me. I just felt so connected. That was Avril Lavigne’s, I am with you… That was the first ever feeling I had for music which made me feel connected and that’s how I started looking for her coz I knew that there was some connection. I knew nothing about her. I looked everywhere on the web and so many other places but I couldn’t find out who she was. All I knew was “I don’t know who you are but I, I’m with you”… Later in 8th grade I figured out it was Avril lavigne when I heard her new song ‘Don’t tell me’, which used to come everyday at exact 1:27pm on Mtv. I wrote her name down and began to check out her songs on web and that was the start of me and music. Today after years, I felt happy. I don’t know why I was happy. I just felt happy. I woke up at 6 and went to take shower. I washed my hair and I was feeling light. It always feels light when u remove thousands clips and extensions. I came out of the shower and stood near my wardrobe thinking of what to wear. I saw a yellow tee...now you must know I hate yellow…but I dragged it out and started to look at it. It was a tee on which all my school friends wrote things about me and drawings as a memory. I know the tee looks way too over loaded with so many words and pictures…but I love it…I never wore it before. I just felt like wearing it. Along with that tee I wore couple of old rings of mine and my old painted converse and my favorite levi’s jeans…I combed my hair which felt so light and all right…I applied some kajal…gulped milk…held a drawing book in my hand and left for college. I heard this song “Always” by Blink 182 in the train and I was behaving like a kid and I just felt so childish. I was singing that song whole day. I just don’t know why. I was singing it in my college canteen…everyone actually thought I was mad…I stood near the canteen mirror and started to make silly faces…it just felt right…I was just smiling and smiling and smiling…I didn’t let any of my friends speak or listen to anyone else…I just kept singing, dancing, jumping, irritating, pushing, pulling them…I just don’t know what made me feel so good. The whole day I irritated my classmates by singing lines that go like : lemme hold you… touch you… feel you… always, kiss you…taste you…all night…always.. The guy friends in my class are used to this weird behavior of mine but today I acted like a drunkard and they actually thought that I had lost myself completely. I doubt if I would have left somebody un-kissed if I would have heard that song for 5 more minutes. Hehehe… Later our jamming was canceled and that made me low. We already don’t have a bassist and our drummer and keyboardist went home. Anyways I kept my cool. I came back to my station and like always I was waiting for my mom to pick me up. She was late. I thought I’d walk. It had been a long time since I walked alone on the streets…So I started to walk without any aim of which way to go… A strange thing happened…I felt like I was in 7th grade again…my head felt light, the sun rays fell on my face…all I could see were my rings and drawing book in my hand…an almost half filled street…I didn’t see anyone I knew…all I could hear was the song which was being played on my phone. I was listening to ‘I’m with you’. In a 3 mins walk I lived that song…every word of it kept ringing in my head and I felt every beat of it matching to my footsteps…My hair falling on my face, blocking the street’s view. I don’t know I just felt I was looking for something and the search isn’t complete yet…For a moment I could hear nothing and see nothing which was moving around me. All I could hear was that song and see was my hair falling on my face. I was living each moment of that song. It was something which…just felt right.
My car's horn broke my thought process and I got in the car thinking, a few seconds and some few words wrapped up in some rhythm can make you feel just perfect no matter where you are. It can purify your soul and you don’t even have to put in any efforts… All it takes to get wrapped into the blanket of music is… some honest words, warm feelings and some tunes…and rest...your soul speaks…
