Shoes

2014, Daejeon,South Korea

Shoes...are funny things. They take you everywhere. Somewhere where you belong to and some places you don't.  They are the evidence of everything you have done and enjoyed or regretted doing it. They are something you feel good about wearing them, for they are your friends-forever. They promise you an adventurous start to the day and not leaving you mid-way in a crisis. They promise you a comfortable ride by giving you confidence to do that  and reach onto that place. You love them and they are truly your prized possession.

2012, Wiltshire, UK

Although shoes were just a utilitarian thing for me style didn't mean much; I always wanted a good pair of casual shoes for myself. I would usually wander through the shops for days and find nothing that would satisfy me. Very often I would lose hope and buy anything that at least seems fitting and then solemnly regret it. 

I thought it would be the same with this pair but I could not have been more wrong. As soon as I saw them on the shelf I immediately got attracted to them for I knew this is it. This is what I was yearning for years and finally I had it in front of my eyes. 

2013, KGP, India

As far as I remember I bought them at 50% Sale in a Reebok outlet somewhere during the early winters of 2011 in Bangalore. Even after a hefty discount, it had still cost me quite a deal at that time L. I still remember how happy I was to buy them for several reasons. They were stylish yet not eye catchy, perfect fit and long-lasting. We shared a 4 years long bond.

2012, London, UK

I went so many places in them.  First Bangalore, then Delhi, UK, KGP, South Korea, and many more places here and there.  I remember how they made me feel every time I put them on. It’s good to have one ideal pair. Sadly, I've lost one shoe in the pair. Its time I have to start looking for another new pair, but I m going to miss them. 

Guess it’s time to be in someone else’s shoes… :P

Making choices

I believe what you do to others; comes back to you sooner or later. Therefore, it is important in life to not become mean enough to crush somebody else’s dream. Not to climb that ladder which has steps made up of someone’s hopes. Those who does that, though enjoys the happiness of achievement temporarily, later of course God levels up everything.

Well, nobody’s perfect. Nobody’s life is a walk on a piece of cake. Everyone has had their share of struggle in life. The sooner it happens, better it is to enjoy rest part of your life in comfort, with ease. It’s like assume, if human's average life expectancy is 70 years, one half i.e. the one comprising of 35 years will be a struggle, the other would be the joy reaped because of the former.  The sequence depends entirely upon you and your choices in life. 

At Midnight

Sometimes you like being alone,
Sometimes you like being hurt
Sometimes You like the pain..
It is such a real feeling, A

Loving the silence, the darkness of my room
Loving being alone right now
and listening to nothing but me
Its such a real feeling

With noodles and coffee as my dinner
and some half left notes
and tomorrow's plan of work ready
I feel so light standing on the cliff...
After all, its such a real feeling

and I only remember this..
Its a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life...

Farewell

Married monsters!

It seems everyone is getting married these days and if you ask me honestly I have no problem with it but I do share my disgust with particular kinds. These are people who forget their individuality, their personality as if it never existed or they have got incarnated..so much into this  marriage stuff. 

Their talks, their pics, their FB profile everything stinks of obsession, obsession with marriage. They stop calling you, then they stop picking up your call, they only appear in-two's or may be three's everywhere. I mean once my friend brought her kid into the mall, and I was like, what-to-do or how to behave now. All my  three best friends have got married, two are also having kids :D 

Decisions

Fuck! I am so stuck.

Don’t know what to do.

What to choose and what to leave behind.

In any case, I’ll be feeling bad afterwards..

Can I have my Krishna here?

'Carrie' me along

I love Carrie Bradshaw from “sex and the city”.
She is the woman of substance. I hope her; Sarah Jessica Parker, in real life too is same as my Carrie. I love her lifestyle, her lucid writings, her dressing sense, her way of dealing things, no matter how stupid they were. I love the way she used to come to a conclusion, the storytelling she used to do was brilliant. She’s got some amazing friends which I truly admire, for they are genuine people. When I see them, it feels I’m one of them. I know one person she truly loved was Mr. Big. He liked her too but I don’t know what his problem was. May be he was commitment phobic. Now-a-days everyone is. In a way it is good, making no commitment is better than a fake commitment. I love the Manhattan streets, it feels I have already done a visual course through the series many times, but I would love to go there sometime, sit in the same Chinese restaurant or the same breakfast joint where these ladies used to go. Hope they are all the same. It was her Birthday on 26th March, and mine a day later, feels good to know about that too.

Quoting a dialogue by Carrie:

"The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them and others you don’t, but in the end they’re the people you always come home to. Sometimes it’s the family you’re born into. And sometimes it’s the one you make for yourself."
