Hell, bring it on baby !


“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”
- Douglas Adams
You want to do it. You don’t want to do it. But you’ve always wanted to do it. But then what is the point of doing it? Haha everyone has the exact situation. But remember there is always a point in doing anything. Maybe it’s the faintest dot but trust me there is! Infact even if you don’t do anything there still remains a point. Splitting minds or doubt isn’t a sign of being confused rather it emphasizes that Hello! I’m still rational because I prefer to think over it. World may call me fickle or indecisive but trusting my instincts is important, always! Yes what is wrong if I take time to decide? That can be maybe because I don’t want to jump into a thing without a rope to my rescue or maybe because whatever be the outcome I don’t want to regret my decision. That is the point here. Whatever you do, its YOUR decision and so even if you fail miserably or get a ‘L’oser placard hanging onto you, you still feel content and solvent. I realized a thing that made my life a lot easier – Before doing a thing instead of asking “Why I’m doing it?”, I’ve started asking “Why I’m not doing it?” ! And then when I just can’t answer the latter, I hear life shouting at me like a cheeky teenager-“Hell, bring it on baby!”

Cupcakes Vs Mint Chocolates



Not that easy. No, not at all. Call it karma or some kind of wiccans conspiring against us. Something wrong has to be there or maybe it’s the God-is-rude-to-you-phase! But still something holds us back; we still have that tiny cent a little metre feeling that things will turn out to be in our favour. If it isn't good at the moment it might be good for us in the long run. Because we have grown up to believe that whatever happens, happens for the best and if not best atleast better. Just keep on scrounging for that superlative in it but don’t compromise on anything apart from them! Just don’t because YOU deserve the best. And so you need to get the best out of it. But sometimes we can’t always wait and so come on, the thought that life is bad, real bad has to come and its plain natural.  So just snap out of it. So what if life is bad and it isn’t happening according to your whims, you need to be so good that you counter balance it and make it happen as you want. Is it okay? Is it humanly possible to just wait and be grateful for whatever happens? Is it really that easy to not always set back and just move on? If not completely yes is the answer, then why do we still have that hope? Why is it important to fail harshly in your life once and be engulfed in that despair of hating yourself to a point? But then again life isn’t about cupcakes; it is similar to those mint chocolates. The chocolates blend perfectly in our mouths but we need to be aware that mint too awaits us to taste it. Yes it is strong but it opens up our senses too. So learn to love mint. And then if life is cloudy, just wear you classy shades and act to feel the bright sunshine because then you know you’re good to go :)


What the Cute !



Sensitivity distinguishes my younger brother assuring the opposite direction of blood running through both of our veins for he gels so well with all the random animals while even now barking dogs scare the wits out of me. It is weird how the whole family shrieking over the presence of a rat in our kitchen, cursing the ugly looking species, made my brother cry! Crying at our ruthless demeanour he just said – ‘Why can’t you all just see how cute hoojoos look? How bad it must be feeling listening to you all!’ Well hoojoo pertain to the rats here, for this was the only word he could pronounce to describe a rat ever since he was four. He got so breathless that my parents took control by assuring him that they will harmlessly let him out of the house with some food and that was necessary for hygienic reasons. Overnight, the mere words he spoke darted through my heart for it left me to ponder how God must be feeling when we actually prove ourselves to be maniacs by overlooking the much more ‘cuter’ aspects of life and just criticizing the less cuter jolts of life! Sometimes how we need to let the pouring rain touch our faces before the joyous feeling of witnessing the rainbow can engulf us. Sometimes how a rodent makes you realize that the reason why God doesn’t always put all the sweet things in your basket is just because he cares way too much for you to not become diabetic. :)

The Loved Ones :)


Yes I found one! Right there! Yeah yeah a little to your left! Top left! Aaah it flew! Maybe I should have been more composed the next time and should have regulated my footwork for another two minutes. They’re rarely seen these days and so you just can’t afford to act that unusual when you see one right under your nose. On one of our random terrace walks my brother asked me –‘Why don’t we find sparrows that often on our terrace as we used to earlier?’ To which I responded that it is because of the telecommunication towers that many sparrows are losing their loved ones so that we humans can exchange words with our loved ones. Hearing this I noticed how his face lost its colour but didn’t find it appropriate to question any further. I could sense the impact of it on him. And it was needed too. Next day I noticed him searching something on net and it was pretty unusual because for him computers were only meant to be an exciting virtual gaming zone, but then again I was busy with some work so didn’t bother to check out. Two minutes later he came up to me asking me to write the spelling of ‘telecommunication’ on his palm and my reason why was left unanswered for he just gushed out from there. Later in the evening on another one of our terrace walks I noticed our circular water filled dishware and was curious to know how it landed up there. He replied –I. A minute pause." When the tiny sparrows plan to take a minute break from fluttering, they should atleast have something to gulp down their thirsty chords". Hearing that I straight away went to check the history of topics searched on net. Left speechless – I just read ‘Ways to Save the Loved Ones’. At this juncture I just realized that my brother was not only growing but he was growing good. Since then its been a customary practice for us to keep water for birds and declare it to be their domain. So please spare 2 minutes to save your loved ones too :)
