Goodbye, my friend!!

Of all the goodbyes I ever said this sure is the hardest and the worst is that I have no other way to bid farewell to you. I am not sure if you will like this post of mine like you always used to do but I am putting in the best for you my friend. This is the least I can do for you. So many regrets, so many questions, so many unfulfilled promises and shattered dreams, so much of tears, pain and broken hearts and yet we can’t stop living. I still feel that you will show up with that infectious smile of yours and your voice ever so gentle. Did you wished for a second chance when you realized that it was all coming to a tragic end? I am sure you are in a much happier place now but the void you left in the hearts of your loved ones is truly irreplaceable. Never again will a mother hear the voice that lifts her soul, never again will a father be assured that his son will lend a shoulder to lean on, never again will a sister adore the beauty of life, and never again will a brother feel whole again. Even if the sun has set for you, your love continues to exist in the hearts of those who care for you. It all seems like a dream...so difficult to let it go so easily.

Isn't it  foolish to nurture all the jealousy, hatred and hurt when we are not even sure of our existence the next moment? We never know when a dear one will leave us today. Please take a moment to appreciate life and make someone happier even in the most insignificant manner…..coz you know, every act of kindness counts!! As always, what we really need is a little bit more love.

Stay blessed!!

 Rest in peace my friend......you are precious.

Old and New Sparks

Blowing like the wind!! :)

The last couple of weeks has been an overwhelming experience…..met old friends and recreated magic, trod down memory lane and revisited my college days, felt like a princess and could finally start a new page of my life without an ounce of hesitation. This feeling is huge and in a very long time I feel emancipated.

Thanks to Sweety and Hema who travelled the whole night just to ignite old flames and we remained glued to each other, each of us taking turns to speak and wiping away happy tears. Life sure is different now. Earlier it used to be cool guys now its about doting husbands, pocket moneys now turned into salaries, roadside tea stalls are now CCDs and KFCs, don’t know when our worries about what to wear on a date changed into when to get married, earlier it was about gaining weights and now its about hiding the cellulite to look younger. We laugh at our old silly jokes and chanced on our old pics only to realise the tiny wrinkles that appear out of nowhere. WE met after four years…just for a few hours….and it sounds stupid but there was laughter, tears, jealousy, anger in those few precious precious hours….like old times but at the end of the day we had to bade goodbye and went ahead with our lives with a deep sigh with no idea whatsoever as to when we will meet next…and none of us volunteered to ask about our next meeting as each one of us was aware of the answer.

Perhaps this is the beauty of life…we meet inorder to part. Just as an end marks a new beginning…..

Cheers to friendship and to new beginnings!! 

*For u again VDz!! Love u all

Circle of Friends

I used to consider myself fiercely independent until I met my wonderful girlfriends whom I consider “friends of a lifetime”. How I met them is another story which I happen not to be in the right note to pen down. Making friends isn’t a difficult task for me. I feel uncomfortable enduring weird silences and enjoy breaking the universal code of silence among strangers. So unless the person sitting right across doesn’t turn out to be a serial killer, it is always a pleasure to smile and say “Hi” and watch them thaw.

I believe woman needs another woman to support and understand each other at every stage of their life. They say “Behind every successful man there is a woman behind” but so also is a woman behind every successful woman. We always need someone in our lives to be our mentor, to love and feel loved, to bitch, to cry on, to hear us out, to relate to and to understand us. Even though I am totally straight I have to admit that I love the company of these beautiful women in my life who’ve made my life even more beautiful….more than hunky nerds. :)

Super massive embrace!!

We have seen each other in worst circumstances and watched each other relinquish childish prerogatives. From stupid girls who fret over a bad hair day to the relentless worries for not scoring good grades, from the gruelling jealousy when a cute guy asked one of us out to the excitement over a new pair of jeans, we’ve blossomed to women who enjoy dreaming of a perfect wedding, doting husband and cute kids. It’s a girl’s thing after all. We had a major heart break when a nail broke and laughed crazy when someone in purple mask opened the door. We go crazy when we go window shopping and stayed up whole night to lend a shoulder to cry on when one had a break up. It seems like yesterday that we were in the threshold of adulthood undecided and equally confused of career and relationships. Even if at times I enjoy solitude and wish to stay alone being lonely is a feeling I’ve not felt in many years.

I wish every woman finds another woman with whom she can rediscover herself no matter how far life has taken her and ignite the girlish charms in her and to dream again. It is about reaching out to your girlfriends yet again and celebrating womanhood!!


*This is for u VDz...Love u all!! :)
