A Long Due Apology.

Four years of college life come to an end.. you are in a new City... with new friends.. in a new job.. and then one fine day you decide to go through the pictures on your laptop. Everything was fine but then you decide to browse through your pictures and you stumble across the picture of your college friends.

You look at those happy faces, those smiles that even now don't fail to bring a smile upon your own. And then, it strikes you that you people are sadly no longer friends... at least not as close as you used to be. How? And more importantly "Why?".

You were so great together. You shared all those wonderful memories - from making each other laugh during lectures to consoling each other after exams, you went through it all together. But somewhere down the line, one day things went wrong. They just got so bad that things were simply never the same again.

Who's fault was it? Was it theirs? Was it your own? You don't know. And maybe you never really will. But does it really matter? No. NO, IT DOESN'T. You are far apart now and for all you know, you might never meet them again.

So, what do we do now? We apologise.

We apologise for not making it work while we still could. We apologise for not being there for them when they really needed us. And above all, we apologise for taking so long to understand what a complete doofus we had been to take so long.

I am sorry. I really am. I know things got really bad between us once but I miss you. I really do. Even if you don't decide to forgive me, you will always hold a place in my heart. And you will always be the reason why staying away from home felt so much better.

Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for making my college life worthwhile.

Yours truly,

Mayu

LOG KUCH BHI KAHENGE.

It often astounds me so as to how easy it is for people to judge others. Do they know that person well? No. Do they know why they did what they did? HELL NO. But they will judge them anyway.

Just a simple question, “Why?”. What do you people get from bitching about others? Who cares if her clothes are too short for that stick-like-narrow mentality of yours? How does if f****** affect you if he comes home with a girl? Why is it a reflection on her character if she chooses to smoke or drink? If it doesn’t affect your life in any way, why sit there sipping your pathetic cup of coffee and judge others life choices?

Living our life the way we want to is a basic human right. But society has somehow managed to find a loophole there too it seems. Yes they do what according to you is wrong. But it’s just according to  YOU. You don’t know them. And more importantly they don’t even know you exist least should they be bothered with what you think about them. So why waste your not-so-precious time and energy thinking about how wrong they are? Simply because your mind can’t comprehend their reasons for their actions,it doesn’t make them wrong. All it does is screw up with your already f****d up train of thoughts.

There is a reason we can’t read others minds. And the reason being if we were to read yours, we would end up questioning your sanity. My advice being- GET A LIFE. Or at the very least pretend you have one and let others be. After all no one really cares for your thoughts and if i were to quote Joey Tribbiani “It’s like a cow’s opinion. It’s Moo.”

Wings of desire

They say a man’s needs are limited while his desires go as far as the horizon is.  We want everything, from something as simple to a delicious cupcake to I-am-freaking-rich screaming cars. Sometimes it’s hard to even describe why exactly we want something. Sadly, our endless desires and the resources to get them don’t always go hand in hand. Oh dear, if only the world was a ‘wish granting factory’.

 The question is why do we want all these things?  Is it possible that somewhere in our mind we have embedded the thought that more things ultimately lead to more happiness? Is it perhaps possible that while trying to attain more happiness through these things we might be losing sight of the bigger picture? Okay but then what is the “bigger picture”?

How about attaining bliss by making the world a better place to live in?  Sounds familiar I bet but isn’t that only because we have just been reading and listening to others talk about it and not actually doing anything to make it happen?  Can we please try to help people irrespective of whether we know them or not? In fact, why just people? Don’t animals deserve our love too? Can we not confine our protest marches to the cases that acquire media attention? Can we not let others stop us from doing what is right? CAN WE NOT DEPEND ON OTHERS TO BE THE CHANGE?

Twenty years from now when you look back at your life what would make you gleam with pride and happiness? All that money you made or all that people you made happy? Think about the things we all can create together, all the things we can mend and all the people we can make happier. Just imagine how amazing it would be to live in a world as beautiful as that.
