Rains

It rained this morning. The intoxicating fragrance of the earth after a short spell of shower is something for which I've always fallen. This is probably the first rain influenced post on my blog. Rains make me happy as well as sad. The place where I am dwelling for the past 1.5years is famous for its drought but surprisingly, this place has been receiving more rains than ever before since the time I've landed. Lucky or Unlucky, I don't know.

Waking up to a rainy morning is one of the many things which is present in my chart of "I Absolutely love". The pitter-patter of raindrops on the window sill, the cold feeling and snuggling up in the soft cozy blanket is simply celestial. On days like this, I'd prefer a wearing an oversized sweatshirt, sipping a cup of hot coffee and enjoy the symphony being played by nature. There were days when I used to grab a good book and start reading it while sitting in the balcony. I'm already back in time but reality is harsh there aren't any balconies here.

Rainy days like these reminds me of a story of two friends.Lets call them Gamma and Beta. It was raining cats and dogs. For Gamma, it was the last day of college before joining office. They had to spend that day together but thanks to the on time performance of public transport they were stuck. Wading through deep water, rolled up jeans, flip flops in hand and an umbrella on top, Gamma managed to reach the place where Beta was waiting. All this to meet Beta!. After another kilometer of walk, they reached a coffee outlet. With freshly brewed coffee and cookies they sat there and chatted their hearts out. Watching through the window, how the city had come to a stand still. The complete scene was in a way surreal.
This was something which I'd loved to do! [Screwing up with real names was intentional but coming up Gamma and Beta as their replacement, well, blame my course books]

Silent and sullen birds with necks tucked deep into their chest sang a random musical composition till now, Canines mewling under edges of tiled roofs, Earthworms emerging from the ground like a person who runs away from the tax department. Ants running in a haywire fashion, just to unload their valued cargo of tiny eggs. And what not. Rainy days have their own charm. The nature shows its true beauty. Love struck peahen and peacock dance in the ground with the thunder as their bass, loud enough to send tremors down your spine.

Just like the rains, people in your life will come and go. Once they are gone, what matters are the memories of the time you've spent with them!

I'll sail away, it's time to leave
Rainy days, are yours to keep
Fade away, the night is calling my name
You will stay, I'll sail away

Drafted it long time back. Posting it now

Between odds and the ones!

It's odd how those who were complete strangers are the ones who are now the best buddies It's odd how those who never expressed their feelings while they were together are the ones who end up becoming a couple It's odd how those who show me the highest love  are the ones who expresses it the least in words It's odd how those who express the love in words  are the ones who end up hurting the most It's odd how those who botched up every damn thing are the ones who make you feel chagrined It's odd how those who plead for mercy, pardon are the ones who deserve it the least It's odd how those who are always smiling and make you smile are the ones who have overcome many griefs It's odd how those who have been through many griefs/heartbreaks are the ones who can always overcome the pain Probably, It's odd because everything can be related to time and space.. But for me, It's odd because I don't think its odd!(o

Ramblings Again!

Consider a situation where you are signing a pact with  chariness, lack of authenticity and selfishness. You might ruin, in fact poison the relationship even before laying the foundation stone. People with whom you are dealing with will have a hard time in the face of your  incredulity, they won't be disputed to rise to your level of expectations. Over the years, I've learnt one thing. O ne should prefer concentrating on the goodwill of mortals who are doing work with you. No matter what you do, where you go, you are bound to encounter those handful of people who will try their very best to disappoint to you but eventually you'll understand that is their sole purpose of life. One thing, which I've understood during PG course is the importance of an open mind and an open heart but that just increases the vulnerability.  Maybe, one should give others a chance to live up to our trust and others should not be on a hunt to try to cultivate trust in spite of knowing

And here it is..Century!

So, the day has arrived. Finally! 100th post of my blog. I struggled with what should be the milestone post! Should it be prolific? Idealistic in nature. Broad in scope. So, I struggled. Back in 2007, few of my friends were bitten by the bug of blogging. Somehow, I managed  to spend one complete year, protecting myself from being bitten by this bug. But then, in 2008, my immunity gave in and I was affected by it. Over the years, I've seen myself maturing and its direct impact is visible in my posts. What started as a fun filled blog illustrating some of the interesting incidents of my under graduation, recipes which I used to cook(I don't have a kitchen now, only 3-4 outlets to survive apart from the mess where I hardly eat) to feelings which I used to pen down, now contains rants, poems, videos, pictures and not to forget articles. I had almost given up blogging last year but this year I started again. There was this intense drive from within to go on writing and
