In the Journey

She gazed out of the small window
At the sailing cotton blanket, all white.
Closed her eyes cause she was present
But only physically there, that time.

Then thinking about the journey ahead
Was perceptive, but wanted more, to find.
And then tried to figure out that
Where her co - passengers were destined.

Smiling back at the air hostess
Who wished her a safe flight.
The girl knew it was just her job
The special ones care, irrespective of attained height.

Having a look: Those love Stories 💜

So Many people are interested in reading novels. Novels of every kind, and the teenagers like us find the mysterious ones more preferable. Indian writers like Durjoy and Chetan Bhagat introduced such great romantic novels too. But we can see great difference in these writers and the foreign writers like Rachel ward and Nicholas Sparks. Though Durjoy is one of my favorite, but still, there's magic in those other love stories.

Well I don't have any particular view about love or how it feels, but when I read some of the novels ( like, A Walk to Remember)  it seriously made me laugh and then cry. As the writer promised. The only problem with such stories is that, the characters have to die in the end . Don't know why... :'( .  But reading that book ( and others like, Notebook, which I read recently) is like making our thoughts more clear. You read and simultaneously think of the person related to that scene in the book. You Try to connect it to your life. When ever I read about some friends having a specIial bond, i think about the friends I've got, the memories we have together in the hostel, or anywhere. So lucky I am to have them.
But no one in particular comes to my mind, when the scenes depicting true love occur :D ... Well, no one is in a hurry, I suppose, to find true love. And I'm not sure whether it will happen or not. But someday, I'll give a copy to that right person, like they did in Just Friends (another novel). It seems so perfect 👌, still it's just a thought.

A Walk to Remember (movie scene ) 

I speak too much about novels. Just know many people are least interested in these things. And I'm sorry if you're not. But I just can't stop thinking about them once I read any novel, and the mesmerization doesn't go away for almost whole week. It's just the same way some people feel, when listening to music with strong emotions. Cause while listening to it too, there is a person who will always come to your mind. You agree with this or not, but it's true. It's so very normal. Anyways, these stories in the novels have been made into movies. But they can never carry the emotions to us, as much as the books do. I've got a feeling, that not just me, but every person gets a chance to look at his inner self while reading. A look at how he feels about any person, try once if you have not..  :) ;)

Show some Love for your State: Chhattisgarh

I've heard a lot about linguistic chauvinism. But I was unable to know the reason why people have so much attachment with their language. Sometimes, in childhood I wished that I was born in some southern state. It's so hard to understand their languages for people like us who have their origin here, in a state like Chhattisgarh. They can easily use it as a code word if went to other states.

Truly speaking I don't know a word of Chhattisgari language. But it's not that difficult to understand. I don't blame the fact, that I lived in Nainital for eight years, that I can't speak the dialect of my home place. Well, that's because I don't know to speak 'kumaoni' (the dialect of kumaon region,Nainital ) too, neither do I know rajasthani or bihari cause I've lived there too. Sometimes I wonder, how great it would be if I had been able to grasp all that.

Rapidly growing up: Raipur 

But now it's been 4 yrs, since we have moved to MY state. I've learnt a lot about it till now( not the dialect). Some bloggers play great roles in showcasing the beauty of it. One of them is Srijal Sahu, who is a travel blogger. Please take a look at his vlog about Chhattisgarh.

Never knew it was so beautiful, Hamar Chhattisgarh. :)

Intentions Unrevealed #1

This blog was started by me three years back, during some vacations. So, one might be thinking why would anyone waste time writing all this stuff. That time I had never read other people’s blog or didn’t even know what people do in blogs, what’s the use? Truly speaking this blog was not meant to speak my mind out. That time I had no passion of writing, that’s the main reason why I haven’t put any long info like other bloggers (yeah, I follow other blogs now) saying,

“I started writing this blog because I knew that there was a hidden writer inside me.”

Or maybe

“I had deep Interest in the writing section in my school days, so I thought why not to showcase my talent here.”

Cause I know that’s not true. It was just that I read somewhere that you can get money by writing regular posts, be the owner of a blog. There is a facility ‘AdSense’ that lets you put ads on your page and you’ll be paid for it. There are many people who just keep bloging for a living, and earn really well. Hence this blog was made with a simple introduction part as its first post. But then, the AdSense betrayed me. It said I was not eligible to apply for it. And I was like, “Yar, phle bta deta.” (Wicked me :P) But sometimes we do good things without very good intentions too, I mean unplanned.

Now this blog has given me so much to think about. I know I’m not any specialist in any matter; neither I’m a deep thinker. Any ways I still use it to pass my time during this long gap, before the college starts. My friends just accidently got my blog’s link, and they are the ones who inspired me for the first time. And I love them for doing so. The bad thing is I’m still not eligible for earning money through it (greedy again :’D). I should be above 18 years. Didn’t get the logic, God, do they take it as child labor or what? But I enjoy writing now; feel as if I’m doing something for myself as well as for other people too.

You will rarely find any high profile motivational posts here, anyways. But the topics are interesting most of the time, aren’t they? Hope to find time writing this, even when the college begins. And I’m going to be 18 in maybe a month or so. With this blog thing, there are more things that I’ve planned to do after turning 18,

•  Have my own Bank account
• Converting my temporary driving license to a permanent one
• AdSense account

Yeah, that’s it, my small list. Don’t scroll down further you won’t get more points (#YouknowwhatImean) . But, keep reading. :)

      

Our Hidden Talent: Bathroom Singers we Are 😉

The tradition goes like this, any girl 👧 who is new to the hostel had to speak a few lines for introduction. We waited patiently for a rat to come in our trap. New people are so nervous and it's not at all good to set high expectations. But we asked the person to sing in front of everyone in the hostel assembly, in DPS, who ever told that her hobby was singing. Not because it was a pleasure to tease new girls, but the fact that we were seniors. Sounds cruel, but singing is not a big issue I suppose. Even we had to face this situation when we entered there in class 11th.

As time passed by, we realized that there were many singers with hidden talent. Some were more like bathroom singers than professional. But my this friend nailed it the first day itself, sang "tum hi ho" in her intro( or whatever the song was, sorry I don't remember exactly.) When you love music so much it's just hard to live without an ipod or your phone which has your favorite set of tracks. In that case nothing could be done, excpt to sing for each other. And we learned to enjoy that very much. Singing 🎶 endlessly during night hours when we felt sleepless.

I am not that great singer, but I too enjoy singing.  My diary had some wonderful lyrics, and when my friends saw that they asked me to sing it. And then it became a kind of regular practice( most of them English lyrics).  Cause I'm too bad in singing in hindi my roomies said. (I am never able to judge my own voice). And then they said, "please mt gaa yr hindi ." 😂

Neha even wrote some songs one day, and we loved them so much. I don't remember the lyrics either so I could quote it here. Anyways we had the greatest bathroom singers. We enjoyed singing while taking shower 🚿 too much :p... And even listening to others singing while they were inside. My friends tried to recognize which song was i singing cause we are not familiar with all the selena gomez songs that I love . Now I miss all that so much.

And it never went this way ;)

Even now we sometimes sing for each other, and send audio clips on WhatsApp.

The Makeover

In DPS hostel, I and my colleagues were used to it, wearing those short skirts. Specially me and my best friend( still in no competition with those girls in commerce section :D). And when you are in a hostel you can live your life according to you, wear the clothes you want to wear (some restrictions are there  in every place). When the eye specialist recommended that I should start wearing specs, I was way too happy. Just because I thought it was classy, sometimes I even prayed to god to give me specs ( I know this is insane). So when I got one I wore it for two weeks, but never put it  on during school time. The thing was not that  I wanted to look cool, or the sudden change in my look would raise comments. Wearing it for long time just freaked me out, and I threw it inside the desk like rubbish. I would somehow manage it during coaching hours, it seemed really necessary that time. But now I think I should wear it more often. As my eyesight problem is growing with time.

Okay, so when I'll go to college I expect to meet a new set of people there, just as everybody else does. And there people have no feelings of inferiority complex, or have to worry about things like, what would people think when I put this on. We can go bindass and people will except us in the form they see that time. Boys go for funky haircuts. Some like too short from side and long in the front part and think it looks cool. Girls straighten their hair, which actually looks great in most cases. So not being a feminist, let me tell just what I'm thinking.

So, in BIT Durg ( Bhilai Institute Of Technology) where I'm going to study for next four years, they have dress code, i.e. Suit or some ethical dress (as written in the prospectus). The prospectus has more heart breaking information like how the boys hostel is provided with WiFi, girls hostel campus does not have it. Well there's no point whining about all this. So, wearing traditional dress would serve as an automatic makeover. Big contrast from our DPS uniform (I miss that too much now). The next thing is, I'll put on my specs from the first day of the college itself. I still can't decide whether it suits me or not. or whether it gives people nerdy look or a cool one. Just know, it wouldn't go that well with the suit. But here's a chance to stop following the western culture blindfolded. We can never stop it completely though, but this is a small step maybe.

Any ways it's not about the looks, or ways to gain publicity. And the true friends, they would never show slightest change in behavior because of physical appearance. It's just about personality. Isn't it??

Going to update my wardrobe then.......

P.S. - Planning for braces (approx 1 year) too.... XD

Funny side up: Life of engineers

This guy... XD

watch this awesome video ...

And IITians.. #no_offence ...

Enjoy the episode ;)

The IITians

Well, this is indeed one of the most prestigious colleges of India. People spend hours, literally gazing the books all day, with an ambition that one day the'll get a ticket to this wonderful place, their dreamland. Some students get the privilege of being of OBC , or some other caste quotas and it's less difficult for them to reach the goal. But whatever it may be, it still takes lot of hard work and dedication to go there. Not just as smooth as playing Counter strike, Game of Thrones , or whatever (actually I've never played any of these too so can't decide the smoothness on the go).

As soon the results are out, the once who cleared it, become happy. I mean it's so obvious and natural, after all this is the fruit of long patience. But is it right to turn an egoist on such ground. We all are aware of the sex ratio in the IITs too. So if the want a gal they have to look outside their campuses for sure. And then they think that the girls start liking them, or consider them as friend just because they cracked IIT, must be very intelligent for sure. What's wrong guys. But on the other side, some of them are still as humble as before.

I hope my friends who still aspire to be there, don't change, as a person at least. It's just heart shattering sometimes. And I'm still mad at a friend for this. I found this link which made me even crazier. Check this out, the link. Okay maybe some of this is right, but that's not the point. It's insensitive.

But any ways, you guys are great. I'm sure these institutes will guarantee you life long achievement. And I respect you :P . For the hard work you've put in, to get this. Be happy.

P.S. - I know Game of thrones isn't a game, it should have been. XD  

Un-intelligent Book Reviews

World's Best Boyfriend

So, like every other book of Durjoy this one is a love story too. The female lead suffers from a skin disease which makes her kind of piebald. But still the boy falls in love with her, and becomes really serious about her. Until she breaks his heart due to some complications. The best thing I loved about this novel was, how inner beauty has been preferred over facial beauty. Though this one didn't left me crying just as "Till We Meet Again" did, still it was good. Some parts seemed unrealistic. While characters like Sachin, spiced it up. And I ended up liking him more than the lead male character.

Well, the book was written by Durjoy. And this reason was enough for me to go and purchase the book. I love his books.

The Perks Of Being a Wallflower

Just found this book on goodreads, and it had great reviews. It was written long ago.  I really didn't understand what the title meant, or what was wrong with the boy in the book. He keeps writing so mysterious letters to an unknown person, writes all about his feelings and sufferings. But things that he observes all time are written with  such grace, it surely had to be turned into a movie.

So, till last when the reader understands that the boy has some psychological problem, I felt so sick at stomach that I closed the book even without finishing the epilogue. Some events of the past kept haunting him. I finished reading the last two pages next day in the morning. And could relate some people in my life to it. Yeah, we are infinite. And the book is amazing. 

Not my Story

So randomly we met,
We would have not
If I got the application for leave 
sanctioned that day...

So close we became,
without any link 
Things definitely happen
For a strong reason maybe..

So sure was I,
That we would be friends
Throughout our lives
Be there for each other..

So easily I ignored all your flaws
And you ingnored mine,
Craziness not leaving for a second
being careless..

Well, is there any point 
Regretting now??
