Benefit Of Doubt ?

She ran through the dark alley and stopped for breath. It was around 1:00 a.m. Her cellphone was dead and she didn't know whom to contact. The only thing running through her mind was whether she would be alive tomorrow. Whether she would be able to live a peaceful,happy life like she had always imagined. Right now her life was at stake and little did she know what was in store for her. After collecting her thoughts,she decided to take the subway to 49 Wellington street. Perhaps she'd be able to find someone who could help her there?

She heard the footsteps approaching her. It got louder with every passing moment. With her heart in her throat,she mustered up the courage to start running again. Her heels were aching. She was exhausted after a long day at work. She only wished she had left her workplace a little earlier with her peers. She wouldn't have to go through this ordeal then. As she began to lift her bags off the ground,she saw the shadow of a man being cast on the wall. He was well-built.There was no way she would be able to fight him. She had lost all hope and was pretty sure this was going to be her last day.

He  paced forward. She kept moving away. He had a bewildered look on his face. He finally broke the deafening silence."Madam, I suppose this is your purse?You dropped it on the way."

As unlikely as this might seem in the real world,I think sometimes,just sometimes, we need to keep an open mind and look beyond what we really see.The world might not be that bad a place after all.

Superficiality

Frustrated,unhappy and highly disillusioned.

She woke up one day only to find herself in tears. "People are terrible,and bad things happen all the time", her mother had warned her on many occasions.She  never really thought there would come a day when she would be experiencing it herself.

We as humans,have an innate tendency of clinging onto  things or people that do us no good .We find it so difficult to think beyond them.Our mind is always pre-occupied with thoughts that are redundant ,thoughts which have no purpose,but still find a way of creeping into our brains,giving us sleepless nights.

People around  are always going to be insecure,insensitive and obscure.They will do literally anything (and when I say ANYTHING,I really mean it )to make you feel inferior and unworthy.There are times where you might feel exceptionally lonely,lost in thought and living in a world of your own,oblivious to your surroundings and everything in it.Trust me,that's normal.Do you feel like you don't fit in with the rest of  "them"? It's alright,great people never do.You might have committed some serious mistakes while judging people or while making friends,but that's fine as long as you have the courage to rectify and realize your fault.Somehow there is always a facade,a superficial veil that hangs around  a person which gives you a completely different impression about them.In reality however,they turn out to be the complete opposite and  probably even the biggest hypocrites.

Attachment kills,because change is so constant.As pessimistic as I may sound,these people will never change.The best possible solution is to move on ,letting go of all the memories.

LOVE

The only reason I’m writing on something as cliché as love is because I've been watching a lot of chick flicks off late. And undoubtedly, it got me thinking  what love actually is all about. These four letters are so powerful that they tend to evoke some kind of emotion in each and every one of us,no matter how small it might be.Feelings so special, which  we've probably never felt before.

 People say that love begins with friendship .That opposites attract each other and all that.The point being,people say and always will say a lot of things.But it is up to you to decide what you really want from someone,right?Communication is something that matters a lot.

Anyway,I've  jumped to four conclusions that I believe are imperative-

~Love is all about being there for someone when he/she needs you the most.~

~When you love someone,that person should be able to bring out that side of you that the world has been  completely unaware of.In other words,your best side or maybe even your worst.~

~Love is being able to be who you are no matter what.Changing  for someone you love is a big NO. Being brutally honest with yourself is essential.~

~If a relationship has to be a secret,you shouldn't be in it.~
 

Love is much more than sharing the same taste in music or sipping coffee together

It is much more than expressing your views on topics or sharing happiness and sadness

It is something that is deep,a feeling that has no bounds and is unfathomable.

Love, not because you have to but because you want to.
Love, not as a compulsion but as an option.
Love, because you know the world is going to fall apart soon.
Love ,because sometimes it's all you're meant to do.

He said,”We’re all a little weird.And life is a little weird.And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours,we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness-and call it love-true love”

A sentimental Note

She stood on the ground where she  once created history.
She also stood on the ground where she  lost one of her closest friends.
At 18,she was an ecstatic young football player who had not only won accolades for her game but was also estimated to be one of the best players of her times.
However, the death of a dear one was a loss too heavy to bear, and the impact,even heavier.
She swore that she would never get back to the field.She couldn't handle the emotional trauma and the memories that would haunt her if she ever played again.

She had absolutely no idea  how to react to happiness and sadness at the same time,on the very same day.It was all new to her.On one hand,she had advanced her team to victory and  on the other,she had lost her confidant and her source of moral support.

Three years down the line,she happened to meet one of her team mates who tried convincing her to get back. "So,the fighter is running away now?She asked.To which the girl immediately retorted saying "Yes,I'm running,because sometimes, that's all you can do."

These are the kind of moments that influence our life,and the course it wishes to take.We need to understand  that our lives are scripted in a book called 'Fate' over which we have little or no control.We fail to accept reality the way it is.We run away because we think that's the only possible solution.
What we don't realize is that everything happens for a Reason.

Gaming?WHAAAT

What is up with boys these days?

'FIFA'.That's practically the only word that runs through their mind all day.I guess it's wrong on my part to generalize this way,but hey,I'm considering the majority ,so cut me some slack.
Be it a social gathering or a party,all they want to do is game.

Recently ,one of my friend's childhood friend came down to spend his vacation here.This is what they had planned.

Day 1:Movie

Day 2:Snow city(I have no idea why)

Day 3:Bowling

And this is precisely how the three days went by.

Day 1:

Girl: "Hey,movie at 3,are you ready?"  

Boy:"No man,playing Fifa,do you mind if we go later?"
Girl: "Sure,why not."     

Later that day,no call.

Day 2:

Boy:"Sorry about yesterday,was too engrossed in the game"

Girl: "That's okay."    

Boy:"So today's plan is on right?"

Girl:  "Yup"  

Later that day,no call.

Day 3:
Boy:"Hi,I'm extremely sorry,I was gaming all day and fell asleep. Didn't realize how time passed."
Girl:   "......."
Boy:"What can I do to make it up to you?"
Girl:  "Do me a favor and just continue playing FIFA"

FIFA, I hope you know that you're making my non-existent social life even worse.

Boys,it's high time you'll get a breath of fresh air ,don't you'll think?

OBLIVION

                                                                   

Behind that happy exterior,was a girl plunged in sadness.She was so used to making others laugh all the time that she'd forgotten about herself completely.She felt lonely,for everyone was always pre-occupied with themselves.She was fun-loving and a friend anyone would long to have.An ideal friend.But now she saw her world crumbling before her and there was nothing she could do about it.Not a day went by without her bringing a smile onto someone else's face.She patiently listened to everyone's troubles without expecting anything in return.And had anyone bothered to ask her how her life was?Absolutely not.The world outside is so selfish.

Her life had taken an unprecedented course and she had no idea how deal with it.So she went on,without giving it much thought.She felt that if she would continue living the same way,it wouldn't affect her at all.Days went by and she gradually began to abandon herself from everyone.Life came to a standstill and she was feeling miserable.She had accepted her seclusion with resignation.Something seemed to be taking a serious toll on her that the world was completely unaware of.

She had been diagnosed with a rare disease which had no cure.

Very soon,she would be another random girl amongst the millions.People would probably forget her name,her face,everything.She was fading into oblivion.

      

Ignorance is not so blissful after all

I feel lonely and abandoned. I stand alone in a corner all day without anyone taking the slightest notice of me. This is not what life is supposed to be like. I anticipated something entirely different when I first came to planet Earth. But reality is harsh,and that just dawned upon me. I will forever be indebted to you for giving me a place in your home. All I want is a little attention. No,don't label me as one of those attention seekers because I'm definitely not one of them. But yes,I wouldn't mind you touching me like before. Atleast you used me well back then.

I'm aware that I'm not very active now and that I'm slightly old. But that doesn't mean I'm unhealthy.Yes,my skin is peeling off and I know it isn't very smooth but disowning me is not justified. I honestly did not expect you out of all people to treat me like this. Someone who is known to be so benign.

One day,you're going to grow old as well,and only then will you realize what it feels like. My eyesight is declining and I probably won't be able to shower my light as well as I used to. But I know I've made a mark in your life.You can't deny that.I feel so betrayed and vacant,it's not even funny. I can't bear to see someone else take my place now. I know I'm going to be thrown in the dump soon enough. All I hope is that I'll be etched in your memory for a lifetime.

Yours lovingly,
Your refrigerator.
                                     

BREAK FREE

                                                       

                                 

There comes a time in your life when  you just feel like running away. Going to a far, distant land and starting afresh with new people ,creating new memories. New  friends. A  new life altogether. But that's not possible, is it? People would call it being ‘impractical’. You feel like you’ve been in an entangled mess for years now,and you feel you have absolutely no clue about the purpose and direction of your life. You are trying so hard to break open the shackles of monotony and  the more you try,the more it seems to pull you back. You  are in a continuous quest to escape the drudgery of everyday life. But  your  life remains stagnant. You feel like all your friends have moved on but you are right where you began.SEEMS FAMILIAR? I think we’ve all gone through that phase. This post is not about me ranting over my troubles in life. It’s  just that, I feel at some point,we should LET GO. BREAK FREE. Do all the stuff that brings us happiness. Surround ourselves with people who make us laugh . Isolate ourselves from the self-centered, conceited ones who don’t. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Life is too short to think about things that are trivial.

But in reality,all this is easier said than done.We are somehow ALWAYS attracted to the ones  who cause us nothing but excruciating  pain. It’s a strange feeling, you know.I mean,think about it. You are aware of the fact that your life would be so much more simpler without these people,yet somewhere down the line your heart simply refuses to let go of them. You know what? You are clinging on to false hope. When  people say "some things will never change", they are right.

DON’T THINK ABOUT THE PAST,IT BRINGS TEARS

DON’T THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE IT BRINGS FEARS

THINK ABOUT THE PRESENT,IT BRINGS CHEERS J
