“They love me, they love me NOT”

Why this title? Because we ponder upon this fact so often, that this phase decide our moods and actions.

And I don’t know what has made me penned down the most common and changing relation of Humans- “Friendship”.  Damn it! Am I again feeling lonely? For that matter I would start believing what I never wanted to! Like not being in contact with someone for months; and redeveloping the original phase I had with them- the scariest part of my life! I just don’t know how to keep relations. For me, being in contact is not something I define to be my “Friend”, but something very deep. May be old-fashioned. If someone tells me I need to meet them daily, it would probably run hell out of me. That is just not me.

I have seen my dad’s group. They have shared their life together. Even they do not greet each other daily, do not take cakes to celebrate each other birthday, even though they unknowingly support at life’s scare and scarce time. So maybe I have imbibed that in me.  

In the world of social media, when you escape for a while from it for the fact that you need to concentrate onto something you wanted to achieve for so long, you feel disconnected. Disconnected because you don’t know what has had happened in his/her life. Disconnected because you are not part of their Facebook likes and comments, also now Instagram likes and comments. Disconnected because you don’t know the joke that is trending on WhatsApp group, disconnected because you are not part of “Fun Chats” taking place in that group. Sadly, thanks and virtual kisses, hugs go to that friend who commented to your post rather than the one who stood by you. Your life’s amazing moments are judged continuously by snap stories and pictures’ caption. Yes, I had been away from the evils’ all form for a while. Thank God, I don’t ever have a feeling of FOMO, which is quite visible among every individual. If I had then I would never be able to keep off of everything and start getting panic attacks. This “FOMO” is such a perfect word to describe the generation.

 Friendship is never an advantageous transaction. It is much deeper than that. Beyond all give and takes. Friends are those with whom you can unhide real you. Stop impressing someone who just doesn’t care where you are or what are you doing. Nurture and build real relations beyond WhatsApp Chats.

  1. true that...

    But those people get virtual hugs and kisses for a reason. They are virtual...
    Real hugs and kisses are for people who stood by us.

    Whilst we publish our lives for other people to see (and judge), we area secretly waiting for that one person to see and tell us "Chal na be! I know you well enough..." we know that they know we know they know.. ;)

    Whilst our daily life is full of shares, likes and comments, we know that the other half of ours will understand the sarcasm in our otherwise polite replies.. :D

    Virtual life is called virtual for a reason. It can never be real.. Like us. XOXO :D Consider these real... Till we meet again.

    P.s.: Why do you wait for unexpected? Wouldn't that make it expected? :P

We miss you Grand mom!

That day, 31 st august, 2013; mom came in my room and in a heartbreaking tone she ordered me to shut off the T.V. I probably knew the reason but never wanted that to come true. As soon as I entered my grand mom room she lost all her senses. Did I really lose her? Was she no more in this world? I stood there; unable to move myself and trying to believe the reality! Tears came from my eyes. Everything stood still for me. I wish she lived more. I cried in an empty room remembering each and everything she did for me. My grandmother. More than a grand mom she was equal to my mom. I spent 19 years of my life with her. She pampered me like no one else and she probably had a hand in spoiling me and making me so stubborn. She used to tell me stories and sing lullabies every night to make me sleep till I turned 15. She would feed me at times when I had a row with my parents and she always fought with mom and dad to support me. She encouraged me even in studies and every time I used to ach...

Book Review #1

Just Friends :D While searching for a fiction book to read at my sis’s place, my eyes suddenly stuck at the title "Just Friends" by Sumrit Shahi. The title itself forced me to pick up that book from the bunch of other fictions. And in the end all I could say is it was the best choice. Not because I was so willing to read it, but it was related to my life in some way. Whenever we talk about a romantic novel, we talk about Nicholas Sparks. When it comes to "Indian Authors" and "Love Stories", I stay away. But as soon as I read out the synopsis of the book, I couldn't wait to read it. It defines the same old question "Can a girl and a boy be just friends?" This question because at the end of the day a bond is formed; a bond secure enough to make us so habitual about each other. There are so many movies and books that defend that a guy and a girl can never be friends. The author has indeed penned down a straight from a heart ...

“You are Grown Up!!” Eeee… Really!!

I must say that this is the sentence that most teenagers must be hearing from their elders. And it’s the worst part I must say. I mean who actually like to grow up. I could look back and have no regrets. All these years when we were small we used to think that what kind of things we would do when we would actually grow up!! We all painted a picture in our head and dreamt of becoming something or the other. But the actual reality seems so different. There comes a great amount of responsibility; we are expected to show certain kind of attitude. I hate all these things. Common think of a world from the point of view of a child. Don’t you miss all those cartoons show? Instead of continuously watching news. Don’t you miss playing with society friends? Instead of discussing studies and careers with your colleagues. I truly believe that an individual should always carry some madness in his/her life because that’s the only thing that can keep one’s innocence alive. It is said that “Growin...
