Remember Me

Remember me when I'm gone through the first sunlight that enters your room. 

The first drop of rain that falls on your face. Through the smile that brightens your day. Through the first tear that carelessly drops from your eyes.

Remember I ll be around when you ll take a risk, I ll be holding your hand when you try to balance yourself.

I ll walk beside you when you take that walk on the beach at sunset. I ll be patting your back when you touch the first stone of success. I ll be the shoulder to lean on for comfort. I ll be the cool wind in the hot evenings n the warm sun on the chilly days.

Remember me when you feel like forgetting yourself. Remember me when you feel alone.

I ll always be there smiling away. All you have to do is remember me. Forever.

I Have To Say Goodbye

Exams are done, bags are packed, tickets are booked.

The day is finally here.

Four years, eight semesters, lifetime of memories. 

College days are finally over.

College life is a period when you take a small step away from the comfort of home. You meet people; some different and some as similar as peas in a pod.

You get to discover yourself. You realize your strengths, get more acquainted with your flaws n accept them with grace.

You start dreaming about making a change to the world.

For many of us college was leaving home, staying on your own, adjusting in a new city.

College is about making yourself a person who still stands out from the crowd of many.

College was a life changer for me. I experienced love, hatred, jealousy, success and also failure. It took a toll on me, pulled me into this deep dark pit, but it also strengthened me. Made me strong and confident. I probably learnt more in these four years than I ever can.

I know myself better. I have accepted my quirkiness and come to love it. I actually have dreams set for the future and I have a hope of getting closer to them too.

And I made friends. Friends who made me realize my qualities and friends who made me see the world in a positive way. Some may leave , some may stay, but I will cherish all of them equally.

It's time to move on to a new chapter. We all are about to embark on a journey to actually make those dreams come true. We won't be successful right from start. There will be falls and we will be hurt too but we will get stronger as we move ahead.

Saying goodbye is always hard.

But goodbyes don't mean forever it's only farewell until we meet again.

We will meet. In future. Maybe we might be different. But I know that we ll start from where we left.

This is me bidding adieu to my college friends. Four years of togetherness and four years of madness has resulted in a hard disk full of pictures and a heart filled with memories.

Interlude

At last I am done with engineering. These four years have been one hell of a journey!

The only part that makes me sad are the farewells which ensue. The teary goodbyes, the long hugs and promises to stay in touch.

I am an army kid (yes I never stop showing that off it seems) and one would expect me to be used to parting ways and everything. But I hate goodbyes. They honestly make me sad.

Thinking of all this, made me write this next post. It is not very well written but a very random thought.

Happy Reading :)

The Queen of Melodrama- Part 2

She has been like a guardian to me ever since I shifted to hostel. She has always somehow ended up knowing everything happening in my life, even the tiniest details. Sometimes I confide in her and sometimes, well, she just knows. But she has never been judgemental about my decisions or how I handle my life. Yes she has tried to make me see sense a lot of times which used to be infuriating but when I think of it now, she always did it for me, so that I will be happy in the future.

We have had our fair share of fights and misunderstandings. There have been days when we have not spoken to each other for a long period of time. But we have always come around. And that is what has made our friendship stronger.

The past two years I have grown to be closer to her in a lot many ways. It must be those sudden shopping spree plans, the random dramatic acts, love for talking nonstop or the shared interest in pulling people’s legs. I somehow have some of the most random memories with her.

And now it is time. Time to say the goodbyes.

I have always wondered how I will react when I have to part ways from her. And trust me; I never thought it will be such a numb feeling.

I still feel like we will meet again, that we have more semesters left in college where we can sleep through class, pass chits, spend time doing everything except programming in the labs, clicking pictures and perhaps studying a bit.

I will miss my Drama Queen.

I will miss the way she would pose for every picture; I will miss her sudden dramatic outbursts, those bollywood type dialogues, her optimism, how she would never let me lose hope when I felt like giving up, the way she made me NOT splurge on anything, the midnight snacks, the studies together, the projects throughout our college life. I will never forget those lame songs we would sing in the Auto, those silly rhymes we would cook up while pretending to write long codes of lines on the computer.

There is just so much more we were supposed to do. And now that time is slipping away, I just wish it would freeze and we can do all this all over again.

She taught me how to stay calm and not panic. She taught me to be less nerdy perhaps. She made hostel life less difficult.

I may have hurt her in the past, but I also hope that I have been able to make up for it.

This is not a farewell message. This is just me letting her know that she is one of those people I will cherish forever.

I wish her all the happiness and great luck with showers of success at every step. She has always been the caring one and I love her just the way she is.

Stay smiling and ever so melodramatic ‘Miss Bakbak Machine’!

The Queen of Melodrama- Part 1

Lights! Camera! Action!

These three words are the beginning of any theatrical act.

Drama is defined as a quality of being arresting or highly emotional. And nothing describes her any better way.

She isn’t arresting looks wise. But she has that air around her which screams emotions all over.

She could be anyone. She could be sitting next to you in the bus crying over the ending of a sad book.

She could be the one in the next seat beside you in a cinema hall sighing over the heartthrob in the movie. She could be hiding under a blanket while watching a horror show. She could be a complete stranger you pass by in the shopping mall or she could be as close as a sister sharing your bed in the hostel room.

Meet Miss Emo. It’s a perfect name describing someone who is although in complete control over her feelings but is full of them. They may sound like over dramatic attention seekers because I had the same notion before one of them became a close friend.

She just entered unknowingly into my life and is now going to leave a deep impression in it. Who knew that sharing the first letter of your name would end up making a bond which will last for maybe forever.  

The first thing that comes to your mind when you see her is, “Oh My God! She is such drama queen!”. But once you know her, you just end up admiring her for her strengths as well as the flaws.

She has a laugh which is contagious, eyes which can shield away feelings pretty nicely and the most amazing chilled out personality. Her optimism can be annoying at times and yet sometimes it is exactly what you need.

She is a typical girl. She loves dressing up, shopping and enjoys being the center of attention. But she is not a fake or a snob. She is a sweet and the most caring person I have seen. She does what she thinks is right and sometimes her approach might be wrong but only good comes out of it. I know this, because whatever be her way, she has always tried to help me out in her best possible way.

She is very emotional and gets affected by even tiny of situations easily. But she is also very strong and knows when to hold her feelings back and stay calm.

In these past two years we have been the worst and even the best of friends.  

I have been angry and furious with her. But I have also worried and always wished for her to be happy.

This is a friendship which has been exhausting and trying for both of us. But I know when you read ahead you will know why I said what I said.

"The 12"- #7

I have been waiting for so long to get back to writing. Exams are finally over forever. And hence I am back!

Okay so this next post, well to be honest I have been delaying writing about this person. But this felt like the right time somehow.

Won't give much of a description here. Wait till you read it.

Happy Reading! :)
