A for Alive.

The  life we have is the life we choose for ourselves.

In our lives

 “we accept the love we think we deserve”, 

but little do we know that we are worth a lot more, that we are capable of being loved beyond limits . There is someone for each one of you, who will find their smile hidden in your’s, who will think of you as the most beautiful creation of God, who will love you like you have never been loved before.

Love, the purest form of feeling that makes you feel alive, sets you free and makes you bolder. Love , as most people have said, cannot be expressed in words but if I were to express love , it would be

Loyal 

Open

Vibrant

Expressive

To say I love you, to love someone is a great feeling but to be loved by someone is what counts. Be the person that is loved, accept the guy for whom you are the world, acknowledge the love you receive and be grateful.

Because outer beauty may fade out, the youth won’t last forever but the one who falls in love with you for your inner beauty, who sees the real you, who can feel the sadness you hide underneath that smile of yours, the one who knows what to say when you are upset, the one with whom silence is uncomfortable is the guy you should be with. 

With Love,

So what?! I am Different!

Be mature, don’t be reckless, be sure of what you are doing- these are all the things our parents tell us. The real world in which we live, portrays a whole different scenario.

You be mature, you are called a grandma,
You don’t be reckless, and you are thought of as a bore.

You are surrounded by people who are so different from what you are, that if you don’t become like them, you can’t survive. At the same time, the whole faking drama makes you suffocate within and all you want to do then is run away, scream out loud and say

“So what?! I am Different”.

But you have to pay the price for being different right?

You tend to find some people, whom you eventually end up liking. The attraction is innocent and slowly grows onto you. However, the attraction is forbidden and you know that! Your head tells you - this is a huge mistake, don’t go any further, but all you want to do is listen to the voice of your heart. You know that you have never felt anything like is ever before! Your heart skips a beat when you see him, you heart pounds so fast that it leaves an ache for several minutes, your mood uplifts by just a glimpse of him, your day just gets better when you talk to him, and your life seems perfect at that point of time. The meetings you have, the secret conversations you make all takes up a special place in your heart.

But like fairytales, life is not filled with happily ever after. The dream you had been building had to come crashing down for all he wanted was “fun”, so what if you wanted a relationship, for him it was only “we are just friends”, even though you wanted a “forever”.

All the walks you took, all the talks you had, all the time you spent with him thinking of how perfect it was will only last as a memory, because he never wanted the same things as you did.

Like the waves wash away the footprints,
He erased the memories, the time spent like it meant nothing.

P.S. - Dedicated to my Roomie dearest. You will find your guy. Greater things await!! :*

Oblivious?! Not Really.

To Like or not to Like?
To Love or not to Love?

Often we feel that this is something which we can control, that our mind's voice is stronger than our heart's calling. But the reality begs to differ. When the situation occurs, more than listening to the mind's voice, you tend to lose your mind's rationality.

The whole episode starts off just like your own sweet fairy tale. You meet your desired guy, both have short sweet eye contact, slowly conversations build up, things start looking good from your end. Texting, phone call, everything seems to favor you and your wishful story.
But suddenly things change, he starts acting strange, the lesser the contact you have, the more grows the impatience. You being to act weird and jealously sets in. You start to believe in that fact that it was indeed a fairy tale and not a reality, that you had lost your senses for a while, only to get it back on track in time.

But amidst all this, you fail to resist thinking about him. Your eyes stay glued to your phone, your ears couldn't have been any sharper than this (beep of text message) and all you do is dream about unrealistic moments.

Being friends indeed is a great gift, but what if you want more than that? What if you never wished for just the friendship? The time when you wish to cross the line of friendship and yet again restrict yourself, thinking you might make a complete fool out of yourself, is difficult. Your rational self tells you that this is - "so not going to work" and yet a small part of you truly wishes that it does work out the way you wish to.

To be strong enough, to let yourself realize that you are losing your mind, is hard. This time calls for some sensible thinking. Would you like to lose him forever by acting like a total nutcase? Or being around him as a friend is enough for you? Is being friends with him is better than creating an awkward distance ? These are questions you need to ask yourself and validate your point.

To all the hopeless souls out there, I hear you ! This is the dilemma of "love" , the ray of hope seems to be bleak and yet prominent all at once.
Dream for it, wish for it, but don't expect anything out of it and be happy with what you get.

P.S.- Dedicated to Roommate Dearest! :*

Change in Life!

Its been a while since I last posted something. The reason is very much interlinked with the topic of this post.
So I got busy with "life" . Yes, you heard me! Life is what happened.

College acceptance , leaving my own city , landing up in a completely unknown place , saying good-bye to family members , embracing the new change , trying hard to make new friends , adapting to rather different way of living and the list will go on. This is just a glimpse of the change in life I am talking about.

Before leaving and even till now, many have told me that they wish I remain the same. That I be the very same person when I return . I cannot help but think differently. Same?! Why will I be the same? If I were to be the same person , then I shouldn't have left in the first place. I could have easily stayed back at home, lead a lazy life and could be the "same". I know what they were trying to mean is - as a person I shouldn't become bad or something. However, I wish to think of it in this way.

 I am not going to be bad or good, I am going to improve. I am going to mature as a person, I am going to learn new things everyday, I am going to become a better human being. 

Living alone calls for a lot of new changes and to survive and adapt in a new environment you need friends. Its only been a few days in this city and I am happy to say this, that I have managed to make a few friends. Its needless to say that I am blessed to be where I am today. Fortunately the class I am in, has really friendly individuals. I came here with the hope to learn and grow as a person, but being in a class filled with such people, I am excited to learn from them in this journey ahead.

Change in life can be hard, but we have to face it. The moment we start facing our fears, is when we start living. We need to see the brighter side of everything and motivate ourselves. We need to scarifice something now, in order to achieve something much greater in future.

Your life doesn't get better by chance, it gets better by change. 

                                                                                     - Jim Rohn

I hope that you all are doing really well in your lives.You might have faced this situation at some point of time in your life or you will face them in your near future. The only thing we all need to remember is

                                                   "Change is the only Constant "

Reality Check!

Living in a world created by the author is fun and enjoyable. You come to believe whatever is depicted in the book, you start to imagine that these things can happen in real life.

Attachments by Rainbow Rowell is a book that easily qualifies as one of my favourite books. The reasons might be the sweet and funny friendship between the characters and also the love story that keeps playing all throughout the book.

This is not a Book Review, it is almost a Reality check that I seem to have had in the past few days. I have mentioned this book in particular, to show that not everything in this world is the same as is written in story books.

In the book, the female character has a strong crush on a guy , who is way too good looking and cute. He is someone who works at her office but they don't know each other. However , this girl seems to have spotted him and falls hard for this guy even though she has no idea who he is, what he is like.
This boy on the other hand (as known to readers) is an absolute gentleman and is the perfect guy that you could fall in love with.

The reality check comes here. I too had an encounter with a guy who is exceedingly good looking and way too handsome to be real! Unlike in the book, where the guy knows about the girl and the girl knows nothing about the guy. In my case it is the exact reverse. Certain turn of events revealed that this guy isn't anything of a dream guy. The face and the personality just does not match. Its absolutely different and almost hard to believe.
All I am trying to say is, even though in the book the girl falls for someone without knowing about him and the guy turns out to be a gem of a person, in reality that doesn't seem to be the way. In real life people cannot fall for anyone without knowing each and every minute details about the person.

Story books deport us to a world that is light hearted and care free. To imagine that events, similar to what is written in the books can happen in your life is foolish. Having said that, I must mention yet again that Attachments by Rainbow Rowell is an absolute fun read. I enjoyed every bit of the book and it has connected with me in ways I cannot explain.

Do give this book a try!

With Love
