Why do we write?

I remember going for a day out with my family. We didn't decide a place but it was to be somewhere calm and quiet where we can all sit and eat and enjoy. Around 25 km out of Raipur ( capital of Chattisgarh ) we were on road to a place I still don't know. It was the simplest place I ever visited. Open road covered with high trees on both ends and sunlight trying to penetrate through the thick leaves-covered branches. Lush green fields all around till where the eyes could go. The grass on the roadside was such that it gave you a feeling like you know it's the softest thing you'd ever step foot on.
And all I wanted to do was sit and write. With the open fields moving out of my window I could see myself sitting with my guitar beside and a pen in my hand. I wanted to describe it so beautifully that visiting the place becomes an understatement. I had a smile on my face all the while. The songs played on my ear pieces continuously but I could hardly understand 'em, I was secretly glad that i couldn't hear a word what anyone in the car was saying and later I realised I didn't miss it.
Dad had the A.C. on but seeing how indulged they were in talking I quietly lowered the window glass. And like the fresh cold water, the air splashed my face. It became hard to take the first breath but the moment it touched my insides, I swear to God I lost the track of surroundings, for a while I was cold then quiet and finally relaxed. I never felt so close to myself before.
We finally stopped in the middle of no where. It felt to be the kind of place where I belonged. The more I looked around, more words flushed into my mind. I could have done anything for a pen at that moment. Not many would consider it a sane reaction but I believed there are some who would.
Then I realised why I have a blog that I haven't told many about, but still update often. Because I love to write, I love how in 26 letters of the language you can fit everything. At times it becomes so difficult to say certain things out loud but writing takes all emotions out, one at a time. And the best example for this is cell phones, I've always noticed when when you call someone its maximum for 20 mins but texting each other can go on for the entire day.Writing to me is simplest and most romantic way of doing something. I didn't want expert comments or advices or teachings on what I wrote. I did want to learn but all by myself.

So here I am with another post and another smile on my face and slight pride, although I know not many are gonna read this.
But perhaps, this is what makes it so special for me.

The Year 2o1o

This year has been the most eye opening, restraining and crazy year of my life. I did and faced things I had never wanted or imagined to do. But the best thing so far was how life changing it all proved to be. Well life is a hard teacher: Test first, lessons later.

These are few of the things I learnt. I’m posting ‘em here, so that if no one else, then at least I remember what’s important:

Ø  If they don’t do sorry, you don’t do social service either.

Ø  If you do Good, good happens to you.

Ø  If you do Bad, well pay-backs a bitch.

Ø  Always in tough times, there will be one friend who’ll stand oblivious to anything said against you. And another friend who’ll ensure that the person speaking those words is burnt alive and buried half-dead.

Ø  There’s only one thing to do with BullShit, flush it!

Ø  Ever in doubt, go have a nice sleep.

Ø  Accept your mistakes only when you ARE sorry.

Ø  It’s important you advertise your sorry (when you are sorry), in front of those who matter.

Ø  The more you worry, the more you eat.

Ø  Don’t let your best friend be your mum; she’ll start scolding you otherwise.

Ø  It doesn’t matter what some 20 people on the face of the earth think about you. Avoid! And please, stop justifying yourself to them.

Ø  If you know you are right, stay with it.

Ø  Saying what’s on your mind is NOT arguing.

Ø  Face book is a big-time stupid idiot.

Ø  Every relationship has an expiration date.

Ø  The process of cleansing is bloody painful, so you might just wanna get it over with.

Ø  Memories are important; they are the intangible examples of good times and great mistakes.

Ø  Life always gives you second chances.

Ø  If someone’s done something nice, appreciate it. It’s encouraging.

Ø  No matter what, at the end of all, your family will be with you.

Ø  Siblings are the biggest supporters in life. And the biggest comforters.

Ø  Nothing is more awakening than a slap.

Ø  A little bit of jealousy is a good thing. Concentrate on the words ‘little bit’.

Ø  It takes lot of courage to forgive. Revenge is bittersweet.  But as dramatic as it sounds, it always helps to let go.

Ø  Never hold back a ‘thank you’. Neither grudges (you never know who might rise from death).

Ø   Just stick to what’s important, rest is BullShit. And there’s only one thing to do with BS...

Ø  Just because you dated someone, doesn’t mean you can’t be friends.

Ø  Oh! There’s a different between ‘dating’ and ‘committed’.

Ø  Enemy is a state of mind.

Ø  Wait a while before you trust. And never break one. Because that makes it impossible for trusting again.

Ø  Love is way more than romantically falling for someone of the opposite sex.

Ø  Life is beautiful; you just need the right people to see it.

Love struck ?

My dear love-struck-but-never-received-heart-broken friends, there's something I'd like to share from my personal experiences: as awesome as the word sounds NOSTALGIA is a BITCH !
Move on. Throw away. Burn down or if bio-degradable then dig a hole and decompose anything that reminds you of him or her. Single hood is a bliss. Think about the good things:
* You can flirt with anyone ;-)
* You have more time to hang out with your friends (with no questions asked)
* Date anyone you like
* Best thing is, you'll have a really sad break up-cum-heart break => sympathy votes :D
Of course there are some drawbacks to it, you see, every coin has two faces. You might feel lonely and stuff at times blah blah. But all you need to do is avoid certain kind of atmosphere for some time, like:
* hanging out with couples...real bad move. At an unavoidable situation, try to emphasis on the fights or differences of a relationship (IN YOUR MIND). Or just do the previous exercise out loud :p
* you might simply chose to move on.

Moving on tips
* Get drunk and abuse him (sorry not applicable for 'her')
Frankly, just ignore everything anyone says about your relationship or anything that I've written above. There is just one person who can make you happy and thats you !
Your best friends or siblings or parents can just help you to feel better but no one can change your feelings. Past is like a mole on the skin, you might try to hide it with loads of make up but it'll always be there, hidden beneath. And its more certain than today or tomorrow because it's already happened and unchangeable. There's so much as just one way, acceptance.
The quicker you be true to yourself about your feeling the easier it'll be to move forward. Always remember, it happened and ignorance wont change it but acceptance can help you :)

xoxo
