Love is .....

16 days to go…….and the most waited day will arrive in my life! My wedding day is here! The wonder years of courtship are ending…..the best time any couple can enjoy is when they are in college, carefree and untouched by responsibity! They create their own world and can stay there without any fear…..they make bubbles of dreams and blow them with soft blows ……..hoping that these dreams fly high and come true………..they are in bliss!!
Just some days ago I read a blog where a friend had written about love. I couldn’t stop myself from thinking and pondering those days when I and Amit had the best time of our life. We both were carefree college goers actually bunkers….to be right!!
There are stages in a relationship….when it is fresh and new it has its charm …..but its not yet steady…..its still to survive many ups and downs…….the talks are about which movies can be watched….which restaurant is new…….which coffee shop is cool…..what time will we talk next….when will we meet next and where will we meet next……….
When the relationship grows with more faith in each other ……mincing the insecurities….it shines….its stronger than before………the talks rise to a different level……the talks are about studying further……….talking about funding the same……….talking bout the wedding plans…..talking about where to settle……….and more importantly ….. settle financially….of course that doesn’t mean the romantic talks end…and one is missed less….or more….its just that the priorities change…..you grow up!
I and Amit are towards the end of the second stage and just about to venture into the next stage which I would be able to share only after I live that time……

Of course this is my view point …….opinions may differ……but the magic of love remains…the essence of it stays…..and the world becomes a much better place to live once you have found love and learnt to cherish it. And also keep it fresh even if it’s very old……it should be like wine…..the older the better…

Now that I am getting married to the man of my dreams………I am looking forward to an adventurous and power puffed yet subtle and romantic life ……

........Thank You.........

Thank you all for your cheering and inspiring comments on my very first blog.
It feels great to be appreciated by friends! So heres something more that I have penned down…..again about something we all feel universally about….. our experiences being different, undoubtedly!

It’s just unbelievable how our mind works. It can take you back to your childhood and also travel with you to your desirable future!
Just a few days back, I was sitting by the window looking at the road. I spotted a bunch of teenage folks passing by. [I consider myself elder to them by great effort though:)]They were so lost in themselves, laughing on jokes which only they understood, teasing each other with some wacky names, roaming around as if they had all the time in the world! I suddenly felt an urge to behave the same way as them. My mind went back to my college days……and I found myself peeping in those times.
My college had an old world charm…..J.J. School Of Art. The massive stone building, the porch where we spent half of the day giggling and gossiping, the old benches sitting on which we evolved as designers, everything was picture perfect! The road which led to the huge stone structure of our college had trees shielding it from both sides giving coolness to the entire atmosphere. Intriguing sculptures of legendry artists were displayed around the college campus!
The steaming cutting chay and dosa with the watery sambar from the canteen, bunking college for movies, escaping early from college to shop dutifully at the fashion street, not sleeping night after night for finishing college assignments , flaunting false daring in not completing the assignment and then crying in front of the professor for few days extension, the ever rising tension when exams encroached near, the confused yet consoling faces on the day of the result, the overwhelming feeling on the last day, promising each other that even if we don’t stay in touch we will invite each other for our weddings undeniably!! Oh Yes!!
That thought brought me back to my senses, how could I have forgotten promises made so loyally! My wedding is just a month away, I have to find my friends, whom I have lost touch with. Invite them for my wedding without fail!!
Those carefree bunch of teenagers had actually helped me recollect my wonderful past which I had carelessly forgotten.
That’s why I feel……our mind is powerful yet subdued, its vulnerable yet strong, its lost yet found………..isn’t it?

Beautiful Thoughts

It’s raining really heavily. I am sitting in front of the computer. My mom is in the living room. I don’t have any idea what she is up to. We have had our usual fight over something one of us has said. Well, something I have said and it has hurt her. I have said sorry. I mean it when I say it. Otherwise I don’t say it. I hope she knows it. But still both of us haven’t made any attempt to try and make a conversation with each other. The medium, through which we usually do have it, is out working at a gym! That’s my brother, younger to me. He is a sweetener when mom and me fight. He drives the aggressive vibes out of our minds at least for a few hours! So I am wishing that he were here! I wish someone else were there too. My dad. But he is in Dubai earning money so that we can live, the way we want to. I miss him especially on such days. He mostly takes my side, of course when I am not very wrong. Now let me come to the point! I think usually about anything that happens around me. So I thought why not think about such days when it doesn’t work out the way you want it to! Are such days really necessary!
Then I realize yes they are, because they ultimately pile up in our mind to become memories. Memories that later bring smile on our face, maybe sometimes they make us cry too but so what. They happen to be our treasure. They help us live a beautiful life. And nowadays I tend to think everything in a different perspective. When anything happens in my house I say to myself ‘I wont see this happening once I am married.’ So I take it as a compliment. I know I will miss this life very much. The life, which I am living with my mom and my brother. Dad comes only once in a year for a month. Of course we have fun that time. But I have actually not experienced a routine life with my dad since 3 years. But all the things aren’t in our hands. I miss him though. But that’s a different story! My life is all about coming home after my class and finding mom in the kitchen cooking something for us, my brother playing guitar and asking me to sing, my mom checking on me so that I don’t talk for long on phone, hearing her voice when she asks me to return home sharp by 9.00 p.m. when ever I go out with Amit (my boyfriend), me and my brother fighting over a TV channel we want to watch, arguing about who will make the bed at night, troubling each other unnecessarily, teasing mom if she calls up dad without letting us know, also my brother insisting me to fold his shirt and asking me to massage his hair. And most importantly opening up the wardrobe and finding all the clothes neatly lined up, who else mom! There are so many things, which are too simple to write but too precious to not write! They make my life complete. And though they are routine for me today they will be unforgettable amazing memories later! Each and every incident in my life is a treasure, which fills my bag, and I shine more and more as I live.
As my mind floats over such thoughts I hear my mom calling me for snacks! And I know everything is back to normal, of course my brother is home too busy munching on the snacks already calling out my name to accompany him! I simply smile contently as I notice my bag shinning a bit more than a few hours back!
