The Big Fat Indian Wedding

Image
Weddings!!!  The first thing that comes to everybody's mind when they think of this word is "Amazing food, Clinking bangles, Beautifully decorated hotels and halls, Beautiful Bride,Joy and Pomp, Romance, Culture Blah!!!" But what is the first thing that comes to the mind of the bride's father when he realises that his daughter is getting married? What does the bride's family go through when they think about the wedding? Will she be able to adjust to the new surroundings? Whether her in laws will take care of her the way they did? Is she going to feel alone? Will she have someone to talk to? Is the guy going to keep her happy? the list goes on...To add to that the family has to fulfill the expectations of the grooms parents..Some people ask for a lavish wedding while some ask for dowry... Not only is the bride's family fighting emotionally, the marriage would cost her dad his entire life savings, it would burn a big hole in his pocket.. How can people be so hea...

I don't care that I don't care... Cause it's my life..

Long long ago you were a person who who used to always fix things up, patched friendships,bothered to stay in touch, did everything for everyone, even went out of the way to please people and did things for them when they didn't even deserve... But how long are you going to be able to do this, there comes a point when you have to just let go. And BAM!!!  you just have stopped caring all of a sudden... You have people leaving you, people judging you and telling you that you've changed, that you don't bother anymore. I don't care what people think of me. I don't care what others expect of me. I don't care that people are going away..  I don't care that I am not bothered anymore. I don't care that I have changed.. I DON'T CARE THAT I DON'T CARE... And so shouldn't you..  "You cannot take care of everyone" someone had told me this a long time ago which I never took seriously but yes it does make sense now... Maybe a part of you would...

Random Ramblings

Life is very very strange. Everytime we figure out something, something new turns up. It really makes me wonder about what Christopher Gardener said in The pursuit of happYness, "That maybe  happiness is something that we can only pursue  and maybe we  can  actually never have it. No matter what." Life really really sucks at times. Just when you think that you have it all figured out, it all goes haywire. When you truly and desparately try to get something, you never ever get that. But the thing comes to you and become yours when you just don't want it anymore or you accept the fact that you don't want it anymore... And again when you feel okay about having something, it suddenly is no more yours. All you can do is sit and wonder,  what the Fuck is wrong...  Why does it have to be so complicated... Why can't we have a simple uncomplicated life, with a happy ending. I so wish that google had solutions for all these problems as well. Maybe it's meant to ...

Life lessons you learn in your early twenties...

Image
Well twenties is the age when people expect you to turn mature all of a sudden..  At this point in life you go through a change in everything..  You get out of college, start your job or internship..  Loose touch with your buddies with whom you used to spend hours together at one point of time .. You get a different perspective about life.. You start seeing things differently..  New friends new relationships, life becomes a roller coaster ride in your early twenties with a couple of highs and lows..  So here I'm just jotting down the life lessons that I learnt in my early twenties... 1. You realise who your real friends are.. You filter out all your friends..  You end up having only a few close friends and you realise that what matters is not how many pals you have but how they actually are.. And these friends who stick with you are going to be with you forever. 2. You stop giving a shit about people leaving cause you realise people who want to stay a...

"The one"

I'm very sure that everyone would've been in a relationship atleast once at this point in life if not they would've fallen in love atleast... While some people are lucky to find their love quickly...  Some have to struggle and go through quite a lot of things... But hey like Shah Rukh says "agar end tak kuch acha naa ho.. To picture abhi baaki hai mere dost..." Okay already too much of bakwas let me come to the point.. This is how the story normally goes with 90% people. You meet someone, you feel he's the one,  he's just perfect, give more than 100% in a relationship, the guy turns out to be a retard or can't commit.. He leaves you dangling in between. You go back being single again. Stop trusting everyone that comes around. Build walls around yourself.  Don't let anyone to enter in again. Think that you'll never fall in love again, that was it... Trust me first relationship fails 99% of the times... Yes it's difficult,  difficult ...

Open Secrets

Image
A couple of days before I was wondering what do people exactly know about me cause I'm a typical Scorpion and scorpions are secretive after all... So don't blame me blame my stars :p...  So I decided to do a blog on 5 things people know about me and 5 things they don't... Things people know about me... 1. I can go on blabbering 24x7 without a single pause... I love talking...  I think everyone who knows me would agree with this..  Sometimes I can even talk without any topic... At times I talk so much that my friends request me to keep my mouth shut... And since I'm friendly and easy to talk to I make friends easily :-) 2. I was more like a tomboy. I mean I still am but yes ab I do try and get dressed up and be girly. I don't understand pink, pout and cheesy/girly talks(but I love some of the best romantic movies..  Khnh and PS I love you are my all time favourites).  And I swear a lot which I'm trying to curb... 3. I'm a big time foodie. It's my firs...

Gmcs... One of the best phases of my life

Image
Well a lot of my friends are already mad at me for rambling about Gmcs for days and nights together...  So I wanted to do a blog on that because it was one of the best phases of my life..  I actually feel that this course should be extended for a month rather than having it just for 15 days.  Well for the starters Gmcs stands for General Management and Communication Skills . Its a mandatory participation course for all the CA students, its like a mini MBA. Since we CA students are not able to enjoy their respective cdollege lives, this as an opportunity to relive your college life and yes Statutory Warning: If you really want to enjoy Gmcs you have to be an extrovert and outgoing . Okay when the course was about to start I was not going through an amazing phase of my life and had a feeling that it was going to be good but never in my dreams had I expected it to be so amazing. Here are some lovely lessons that Gmcs taught me.. 1. Don't close yourself up because you tr...

A kamini who's not a kamini in the literal sense of the word

Image
that ell I guess almost everyone would've watched Kal Ho Naa Hoo... There's a dialogue by Naina before the song kuch to hua hai... which somewhat goes like this "kya tum kabhi koi aise insaan se mile hai jo tumhe pehle bilkul acha naa lagey...  phir thoda bohot acha lagne lagey..  phir bohot acha lagne lagey" well the same applies to this story... Except this is not for a guy but a darling friend of mine...  Well the story goes like this.  I met Aaku or should I go with KAMINI that is what I call her "pyarse" in twelfth I guess, Mensa commerce classes. Oh yes I've met some really special people in my life over there. Yes we personally didn't have a great rapport at first.. Screw the rapport. It was just crazy..  I used to hate her back then in the beginning now that I think of it I feel how silly was I. That was because we were possessive about a friend of ours and had a feeling that he's going away from us cause of her.  But today I really woul...

Two cartoons who became special

I could see innocence drooling from his face... We were having a role play he played a father and i was playing the mother to a kid... Well that is vaibhav... my first guy friend in gmcs..  :) And then he introduced me to his better half... Ramakant who is known as r. K thanks to me in the cantene on the very same day (usdin bhi sandwich hi khaa rahe the tumlog) :p...dono the to sidhe lekin jalebi jaise... These two cartoons can make anyone laugh.. Too hilarious..

K)..  I never thought i would miss u people so badly... Suno ka cheating,  fire in the m...

A sweetheart who hates sweets

Sometimes in life you tend to meet people at the most unexpected places at the most unexpected time... And that is one of the best feelings in the world... These people you meet unexpectedly give you the best memories... Well I met someone like that during my gmcs... Smiling shruti my dearest darling this is dedicated to you... She sat in the first row on the first day whereas i sat in the last row... I remember her introduction "A girl with a pretty smile". Well the tag suits her aptly.. We spoke for the first time in the 6.03 Nerul train and yes she reminds me of a very dear friend of mine "Bomzi"... Maybe that's why we connected in the first place.. She's totally a no nonsense person, who isn't very girly and this bought us closer... This girl amazed me... She doesn't like anything good... How can someone hate chocolates... I'm still trying to figure it out. Yes she hates sweets but she is super sweet as a person.. She is very protec...
