Fleeting Muses.

I just had to document this, not only because it was the best birthday EVER but also because as soon as it got over, it felt like a dream and I wanted to write it down before I forgot a tiny detail about it that meant as much to me as the big parts! :) So here goes-  There was once a girl who thought her birthday was ruined because it came on Holi.. and yeah obvly, that girl was me! :P I thought it was going to be a normal Holi routine day and at the most a get together of 2-3 friends in the evening because rarely anybody would come in the morning except to play Holi. AND, I couldn’t be more wrong. Not did this birthday exceed all my expectations, it was even better because I didn’t expect it coz it was Holi and that made it more special! First of all, a big hug to all those who tried my phone constantly since 11:20 pm till 2:30 am and wished me in the night itself.. to all those who made me stay awake till 4 although I had to wake up at 6 (:P) coz I didn’t k...

This is my first poem if you don't count 2 poems that I wrote in 4th standard for the school magazine which went on the lines of "Baarish aayi, Baarish aayi"! :D Initially I was going to go with friendship, but then went with the flow..took me 10 minutes for writing and another 5 for giving some rhyming...it ain't about big words for me so don't expect many!  :) Here goes- When you looked into my eyes, When you pulled me close, And then when you smiled, I wished the moment would never end.. When you scolded me for something, When you protected me from hurting, And when you just gave me a look with a smile, I hoped it wouldn't all just end up in a memories' pile... When you brought me flowers, When you got me a ring, And then when you cooked me something, I wished this would turn into a thing... When we were all for each other, When we never had to think alone, only together, And when we thought this was forever, I thought things wou...

I have been thinking about the topic since a long time but as always, I am a lazy writer..or rather, a reluctant one. I don’t know how many of you got the feeling of the post by the title but I should tell you this is one of the strongest feelings I have had over time, increasing just a tad each year, month and day! Remember that girl who is selfish or the guy who is mean? Well, when I think about everybody around me, I am amazed at how a person cannot know who or how he/she is! If she is arrogant or not, brainy or not, considerate or not! I have always been able to see who I am, I know how I behave, what my traits are and if they have changed or not. I know I can be rude at times, but not arrogant, I know I am kind at heart and don’t say anything to hurt people but that I have a strong, well, non-respect towards those who think ‘petty’ things like grammar don’t matter in life. But the point is that I don’t understand how a person can act mean and then be so oblivious about...

  I have always read a lot and over the time I have read Harry Potter and Twilight series both, one throughout holidays of tenth standard and another in twelfth vacation. My take on them is different than most because I love them both (to most people's surprise) AND I absolutely do not understand the comparison between both that goes on all over the Internet. Sometimes, it is the comparison of one thing and sometimes of another, but it's always there. I get lost in a train of thoughts seeing the memes; I have always wanted to retort to the comparisons, once or twice I did as well, but it couldn't go on forever. I always end up wondering the reason and the answer I reached to is that they are put side by side because they are both 'epic' in the word's true sense! With a gap of less than 10 years, our generation got two series of books which were sold, acclaimed and loved all over the world. This I think is the reason for the constant battle between 'Pot...

Wrote parts of this on Women’s Day when I was in a really determined and strong kind of a mood. The other parts of it are written in a serene manner, so this post itself is symbolic of the variations a woman can have, the moods, thoughts and qualities. The first thought which comes to my mind when I think about women equality in this world is that women are never given the respect they deserve. They weren’t given importance a 100 years back when the women of that era must have hoped for a better future, nor are they given the praise they deserve even now when girls and women all around hope for a better future for their daughters. I have always wondered why, oh why, are jokes made on women so much more than the opposite gender. Why is it that every male I know would be offended by a male-mocking joke whereas they expect us to laugh at those aimed at us. This fact I have always despised and I personally take a lot of pleasure in forwarding female-empowering one liners; the...
