So careless and laid back I am. As I was scrolling down through the memory of my past adventures and fun trips, I could remember my trip to London. So, It was my first international trip therefore I was excited. I was going with a friend for a summer school in UK. Our flight was at 6:30 in the morning, so we called a taxi at 3:30 am as it used to take just an hour from our hostel to the Bangalore airport. Since we had to do the immigration and all, so we kept 2 hours for all that. As my close ones would know me, I don't do things initially but you will find me running unto everything at the eleventh hour. So the other friend had packed everything, talked to everyone and done all the things that one needs to do a day before. And here I was , till 1:30 am of that morning, packing my stuffs, forget about talking to anyone.  I slept at 2 am, planning to get up maximum by 3 so that in half n hour I would take bath and get ready before my taxi arrives.

I asked my friend to call me at 3 am, so that in worst case, if my alarm clock fails to wake me up, her call would definitely do that. I asked her to give me a ring and instead ring the door bell of my room , even though her room was just two rooms away from my room. The pact was if I disconnect her call, it will be a signal to her that I have woken up.

So, the clock ticked 3. As I had slept for just an hour.  I am quite famous to have a 8 hour long sleep), so my alarm failed to wake me. My friend called me and in the pleasures of my "deep sleep" I disconnected her call without realizing it. In parallel, my friend took a head bath, straightened her hair and had breakfast that she cooked and sipped coffee . It was 3:30 and the cab arrived. I was still sleeping. :-|

At 3:40 am, my door bell rang, I did not answer. After 3-4 times, I heard something and woke up. After 4-5 seconds I realized what I am into. I opened the door, saw her all decked up..and I could only say, Shit, Shit..shitshitshitshit..shiiiiiit innumerable times. My friend and others who had come to see us off got worried. I still had some packing left for some small-small things. Thanks to my friends, they picked up everything from everywhere and just buried in my bag. I could not do much. Just brushed my teeth, don a t-shirt and started for airport. Very little time was left, so we asked the driver to scurry. Thanks heavens, we could catch the flight.

Phew!

P.S: My hard drive crashed, so the 2500 pics I had of that trip, went by that too. Sad moment. :(

A treat for just130!

Where? Where on this earth you would find this luxury?
When you can treat your buddies for as low as 130 Rs and still go home laughing like monsters having an absolute ball..

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
