Exams.............

Hey, all you people out there. My exams are going on and i decided to study with a vengeance this time so I am limiting the time i normally spend blogging. By the way, I regularly take a look around at other people's blogs and i am continually amazed to see so much interesting stuff out there! I leave a few appreciating comments and sometimes i drone on about my feelings on the blog! So all you people out there who love life and dream big, and just enjoy being their quirky selves ( I love noticing quirky habits of different people, its so cool when people are just themselves. You can notice their slight mannerisms and smile that set them apart from anybody else. One day i want to go around the world, catch hold of 1 person at a time and tell them that for an hour they can do exactly what they want and be what they want and then I want to see what every person does, coz that would be the true indication of their personality. What an amazing feeling that would be, to see people being carefree, unique and filled with joy! Now that would be worth writing about!!). Anyways, as i was saying, cheers to all of us who love being happy. Take care all!

Marine Drive

I took these pics just before sunset! Hey Bhushi, i know you're green with jealousy!

A walk to remember.................

Hey! I had described to you the beautiful scene i witnessed when i went to Marine Drive on May 12th. I saw the lights of Wankhede stadium reflected on the sea which was quite a sight! Overcome by this joy i went back to Marine Drive on a day i knew the lights would be on and i tried to capture a good image of this magnificent view!

Just a thought.........

When do you feel proud of yourself? I thought of this when I received compliments from my friends for writing this blog. When they complimented me, I felt happy, ecstatic, like sunshine had suddenly burst forth from me, I felt humbled because they understood what I had written and I felt my heart grow even fonder of them. But I did not even once feel proud of myself!
Do you want to know when I feel truly proud of myself? It’s when I am actually penning down my thoughts, when I put two words together such that they create a meaning apt to that situation that I want to describe, I feel proud when I complete writing a poem which I wrote just to express my feelings without thought as to whether anyone would like it. I write to please myself and to express my doubts, fears, joy and happiness. I play the keyboard to feel the joy that I can create music (Am still learning though, but I still love it!!). And that makes me proud, that is the moment I feel pride in my work, in myself.
I have written a few poems that I have shown only to a couple of people, one of those poems expresses sadness and despair due to fact that I thought that I don't fit in anywhere. But that poem that others may conceive as a sorrowful one is truly the poem that best describes my strength! The feeling of pride that I felt when I wrote that poem truly can be rated among my top proud moments!! Hehehe.......
So do you tell your kids that you feel proud of them when they get an A grade? Instead tell them that you feel proud of them when they study, when they learn something new!! That is my opinion! Please feel free to tell me about your proud moments! I would love to hear about them!! Keep smiling :-)

Lucky me!!!

Evening walks to Marine Drive have become frequent (i have moved to a place close to it) and even more precious to me. There is something about the sea that i find utterly irresistible and it pulls me towards it like honey to a bee. So i went for a walk by the sea again today and just sat in peaceful contemplation (listening to November Rain by GNR) for some time on the parapet. Then i noticed that the sea was illuminated with bright diagonal lines shimmering on the surface at certain intervals while the rest of the sea was its usual dark mysterious self. I got up to investigate the cause of the incandescent glow on the surface of the sea when i noticed that the lights of Wankhede Stadium were on! The stadium lies behind a row of buildings but the lights are tall and look like inquisitive children peering over a fence. Well, radiations of light were streaming from the gaps separating the neighbouring buildings and fell onto the sea like silver dust from the wand of a fairy!! Oh, you should have seen it, the shimmering bands of light met at a point far away in the sea and looked like ethereal paths promising a magical journey to all those who had the courage to walk upon them!! It was beautiful, and i could not stop smiling. I just wish i had a camera to capture that moment, but at least i have that image locked away in my mind! If anyone at that moment had told me that the fairies from the faraway woods had come for a visit and had left these mementos, i would have readily believed them!! I am lucky to live so close to the sea!
