There is nothing
in this world which makes me happier than listening to Cold Play, type in my
old age computer not the laptop or ipad..the computer keyboard….no I am not one
of those who has taken a liking to touch phones and ipads…but I still own them…this
exactly points how contradictory we are… As the year ends...this is all I could think of...
We like something
yet we end up with something completely different.
I had stopped
writing on my personal blog, why? Because everything around is so impersonal. One moment which stayed with me this year was
while passing by in the taxi, I saw a young naked boy in the arms of his little
sister looking eagerly at a passerby’s packet of food, a lady sitting under the
flyover, her permanent address may be, and two men sitting on the chair waiting
with plates for food to be served. The taxi went in a hurling speed, life moved
on, so did theirs, but left an imprint on me.
Another learning—Indians
aren’t equipped to deal with solo female travelers. Had the time of my life
travelling across Udaipur, yet those glaring eyes, the ones that question-“the
girl is travelling alone?”, “How did your family allow you to travel alone?”, “You
don’t have anyone to travel with? And the best is when the woman asks her
partner to get up and she comes and sits next to me…as if I have nothing better
to do in life! Some ugly looks some
sniffs…yet there is nothing that has made me happier than travelling alone
basking in the nature, the great Aravalis during rains, the black clouds
pouring just when you stand atop the Monsoon Palace..these are joys may be you
can never describe nor relive!
Biggest Learning—Some
so called friends stabbed right in my back and some fake friendships still
continue to weigh on..apparently being honest dosen’t leave you with anyone! So
here is to being little nice this year!
And of course- I
still can’t believe I inspired someone to drop his job study and go to college!
I am always so proud of you my little brother, my friend! @arunabho: I am so
proud of you that you got through your dream college and ofcourse this made
this year close at its best!
Got my dream job
too… yet…
Lived life on my
terms…and thus…
Still figuring out
how people fall in love …but…
Funnily those gaps
will have to find their answers some day and “Lights will guide you home…”
