Sprinkled Words

It all started when with books. Building stories in my head was my usual escape. Little did I know it would creep into my routine of daily life. I met him. It was new. It felt different. It felt like it could all be true, everything that I dreamt of. The sharing of interest in books, music, food, theatre?  That brush against my arm, that 'Happy' wind that blew my hair across my face. Everything. Little did I know that this would come to an end, like every other dream. Don't ever let this bring yo down. Life just probably had a way of telling you it's ok for a few dreams to break.  Don't let them break you. You may not always understand the pain, you never may have thought love could break your heart. It can, it will. It's over. Don't let the pain eat you up. Leave it behind. Go fall in love again, this time with yourself, so you'll know not to blame yourself the next time this happens. Believe me, you're better than you think you are. Don...

We are all so engrossed in trying to reach those dreams we have in our head, we forget to stop, see and love ourselves. In this whole process, we are running and chasing things. We end up seeing what we love in others and not ourselves. We learn how to love, we don't learn what to love. It only gets easier by every passing day to appreciate things around us, but we forget to do so every time we look in the mirror. We only end up seeing that one scar, or one strand of grey hair that sticks out, when we don't realise that most of the times the world doesn't even notice it's there. Why are we always bring ourselves down constantly? Is it because we had a bad experience in the past? Or is it because what people would say now when they saw, and you know they'd react badly? Who cares? Is it your life to live or theirs? Forget what someone has to say or react. Stop concentrating on the things that may hit you and make you feel bad. There's probably more positive ...

Let's face it, we all know half the things in our lives don't go as we planned them. Either life has its own way of screwing it up for you, or there's that someone who makes it harder for you to believe that dreams do come true. There are times when you go to sleep, all determined that tomorrow is a new day and that you'll fight this, the struggle will eventually be over and you would have felt decently happy towards the end of the next day. Little did you know that the next day will be ever harder and that it'll make you feel worst than you even imagined. Have you ever felt like life was giving up on you? Did you ever see a child walking on the street, and wanted to walk up to him/ her and say 'Hey, life is not all these fairytales you grow up listening to. It's difficult. Do not believe in love easily. You will find a prince charming, he will break you heart, but it's not the end. You will find your dream job, your man and that gorgeous home you ar...

So everyone knows the full for of OMG right, here's a new term I stumbled upon and totally can relate to. It's called JOMO - Joys of missing out. I recently realised that all of us at some point like this. JOMO makes sense in everyones life. We are so used to that routine, that running around and the crazy timelines in life we have to follow, deadlines to meet, in the little time to have to breath, make time for friends, do the laundry, clean up, everything. Didn't you just wish in your head silently that there is that something you just want to miss and sit at home instead, put up your feet and relax? Now trace back memory, do you remember doing it? Do you remember calling in sick when you actually just felt content sitting at home in pyjamas and enjoying that hot cup of coffee? There you go! You've done it too! Din't it just feel great? You missed out on something so you could do something else. You felt content after doing it. Now consciously make this ...

I'm Back! How often do you say it out in your head that life is unpredictable? Well, I recently did so too, & I think it changed me a little, in a good way. I finally got a chance to take a holiday after forever. My experience was nothing less than brilliant. New town, new country, new people, and a slightly calmer me. Life is full of surprises. You never thought you'd be doing any of this 5 months ago. Before you know it, a routine is formed. You barely have time to wake up in the morning and sip that hot cup of coffee in peace anymore. You're running on timelines and have a lot of staring at the laptop screen to do. You talk to your friends more via text than meeting them. You understand the true meaning of 'Monday Blues', weekends for you now mean craving for 'ghar ka khana' and a nice long sleep. Where are you? Living a mechanical life looks like it. That escape we would have everyday initially, of going into our little dream land whenever we...

So my first post this year. Sorry for being away so long.. What do we all really want? Lots of money and an insanely huge house and a lavish life? I don't really think that's what we really want. Think about it.. At the end of it when you imagine your life, you imagine a peaceful home, a house decorated and made by you, a tiny world in your house that has pieces from across the world, a beautiful tiny family and lovely parents to go back to their house and feel pampered and loved by. A beautiful bunch of friends who you can be absolutely silly and stupid with and can have the most interesting conversations with. That one best friend who is practically your boyfriend and you know you're life is beautifully complimented by all these things mentioned above. A job that you actually like and enjoy doing irrespective of it being taxing and long, and at the end of the day when you shut your eyes, you know you're happy and at peace with yourself because you know you gav...

Its a new year alright, also may be a new start? Do you feel like life is crapping all over you already? Let it! trust me, its all worth it. The crap won't become an identity, don't worry. It took me a while to understand this myself. Its a process of celebrating life and feeling it, not just living it. You know there's going to be a day when you get old and can remember very little detail, but you'll always remember the one's close to your heart, make those worth remembering. It's always after a storm that you see a rainbow, don't you? It's only after a lot of years of the ruins when you really look at the mess and realise its all actually beautiful. It's just that when the chaos is all over you and in your head, that's all you really see. The prettiness actually gets enveloped with the darkness of the chaos. If you think something just ruined you, let it. EXPERIENCE it and FEEL it, don't let it take over you. Once the experien...
