Because life's an illusion?

The good feeling :D

When Bollywood movies can be simply entertaining if one is willing to get entertained!

When 2-3 hours of a movie go on to depict so much that it always seems impossible to happen in life

#ReelWorld #NotRealWorld

But points for effort.

Punjabi :D

Songs, language, weddings, culture

#ILove

When you think you're past a thought, that crosses your head, yet again

#Disappointment

If Only

~ the movie.

How life can absolutely shift the basis of faith!

How you believe you'd have lesser regrets if you lived one of the days of your life, as if it were your last..

only to know, it wasn't yours but the one you did it all for!

When one hasn't been the expressive one all their life, and finds it difficult to say it all in words, but manages to express oneself one fine day, it means something on another level at that point!

Dreams are important. And so are tears, at some point.

'How can so much ego be in one relationship?'

I can't wait for June and things to keep me busy and not think of crap that the mind has full probability of acting upon!

Music, what would I have done without you!

When it's not your place to say!

"I'll tell you a riddle.
You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away.
You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter.
How can it not matter to you where the train will take you?"
"Because you'll be together."

"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad."

"Do you know how hard it is to fall asleep when that's what you're supposed to do?"

‎"Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over."

# When

When you always make a conscious effort to understand, without fail...
But a point comes when you're so close to giving up, that, it's like a flashback of your life in your head.. And you tell yourself, it's too soon to give up. Or for that matter, that maybe life has things planned that are on their way to get to you. And, you hold up and take a deep breath, and go along with it all.

#JustHeardIt :)

When you don't have any regrets in life so far, but things are rubbed in your face incessantly at one point

When music comes to the rescue so often!

When you know you have the guts and you don't have to prove anything to anybody, because
You know.. But your morals don't allow you.

And, "Life is beautiful" - Eh?
#Really?

When words aren't enough to describe it all

When a camera can't capture what your head does!

When 'living it up' feels real :)

"The best things we know are the things we haven't been taught."
"Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned."

A corner of my mind : part 5

Black nail-paint
Train journeys
A trip after graduation
With friends
Good music

Not just a song that gets your feet tapping, but one that keeps you peppy as an after effect for a bit :)

Irony
So much irony
Back to the looks
Judge-y eyes

Not a Union territory anymore? #Haha #So random

Sea (that you could see)
Sand (at your feet)
Water (that touched and went)
Wind (only the feel ofcourse)

Nature at its best
Irony at its best
Expression at its best

Churches
Architectural designs
Originality
Peace
..And how I've been to so many churches before (when I was younger).. And don't remember even the significant details!

Comfy beige pants. Aaah :)
Naariyal paani

#Goa :)

The few things you don't have everyday, but when you do, it all becomes a part of your memory:
Coconut water (Haha!)
Ganne ka Ras
Raspberry Dolly
Gola (probably Kala Khatta)
Falooda Kulfi
:D

Raabta - female version and the male version - such well written and sung songs!
#ThingsThatKeepYouGoingMaybe

And when you think your graduations's over, the University announces a re-exam for a subject due to its inefficiency and because ofcourse the paper got leaked!

*it took place, yes, but it was more of a meherbaani on the university than.. sigh*

A final goodbye to Mumbai happened..
But it hasn't hit me yet, and it probably won't for a while...

"Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them," I said.
"Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway."

- John Green

"Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens."

Wrong time

When one person's words mean, I-don't-know-what to you?

When he/she fails to understand the importance of him/her in your life

When, with all your self control, you still want to get in touch with a person irrespective of who makes the goddamn effort

And being all composed and calm in your head, you come up with something and act upon it, and then it doesn't even satisfy you like half the percentage of what it could have

And that's when I say to myself, why is it so hard? Why?

Life and its plans for you and people that mess with it.

*sigh

Other things in pieces, yes.

Exams. Studies.

#TheTimeWhenLifeSucks

Yes, logically and practically thinking and looking at the problems of the world, and with so many other problems people out there are facing...

But for once, if I don't?

#MoralityPoliceCheck

Conclusion about one thing for sure:

The subject I end up studying the least for, accidentally, always gets me more marks.

When will people understand they have to stop wasting electricity?

Khushbu - A small girl (supposed to be in about 1st or 2nd grade) who likes to work like her mother, and wash clothes/utensils and doesn't like the idea of going to school to study and refuses to even entertain that thought in her mind!

How circumstances in life can lead one to think like that!

Crime Patrol - what a show!

Human trafficking - eye opener/reminder for so many people

I really was surprised about it taking place in Andheri, Mumbai particularly!

Paralysis - How it can change one's perception and to what an unimaginable extent man!

Dear Time,

Don't fly.

Sincerely,

One that values you or atleast tries to.

How happiness takes over one day ~

And you don't know if you're low or not but random conversations and music come to your rescue even when you had the option of sleeping because you were genuinely tired with your eyes burning?

And when will this world stop talking and worrying about each other's lives for once and try and mind their own freaking business, for once?

Embrace - Celebrate

#Music :)

"There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it's like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges." - Ernest Hemingway.

Just?

The times when you're happy that you managed to get somebody to distract themselves from what was making them feel low. And in return the person left the biggest smile on your face by saying the words you didn't expect.

Music. Solitude. Time you think you have, but you don't really. Existing friends who understand and have contributed to your life on another level. Friends that are yet to be made and are growing with time, maybe. Crushes that come and go. People you think you fell for. People you really fell for. Love. Real love.

Love for food. Home food. Lyrics. The melody. When happiness takes over.

And not because I feel happy but because I am?

Friends who make you realize life's worth living and fighting for. The ones who are there when you told them not to be :)

Chumpy (olive oil in your hair) after long! :D

"Exams. No, why do they do this to us?"

Chai/Milk with rusk :D

Words can do SO much. They can kill. They are too powerful to be used on someone who doesn't know what he/she's thinking.

Hehe.

When is it not about looks? Seriously.

You meet someone, your first unconscious/conscious judgment about the person is always based on the damn looks. Body language and the clothing comes right after that, yes. But the looks is what one is always judged by. I don't like it ya. I mean I get it that what other basis is one supposed to consider before taking the next step and all.. But still!

Imagine - John Lennon

"How do you explain something that you can't even understand yourself?"
"It's destiny I think. I think that's what you hope that love is, is destiny."

Who is to say?

Unfailing faith.
Compassion.
Courage to take it all with a smile on your face when you know you're going to die.

Time flies when it's expected the least to :)

At the same time,
Not caring makes it all so much more easier. I'm not saying that's what should be done. But I'm certainly saying it hurts lesser. Like the human switch could be turned off or something.
But then again, the power who's made this world and controls it, has kept all of this in mind to maintain the balance and let emotion and suffering and love be a part of one's life and help one form his/her own beliefs.
"Without suffering, there'd be no compassion."

At the end of it, it's all very individualistic. We tend to give the authority to someone else to be able to decide our sadness/happiness without even realizing we did so, until we're hurt/ecstatic.
I remember mentioning this or something close to this, earlier as well.

Just cutting off from the world and maybe going to the extreme for once and see what that's like even when you know it's darker.

Expectation when you don't follow/deliver what you expect the other to?!
Seriously?
Words are very important and they must be remembered, and used carefully when you know the intensity of the meaning of them, for crying out loud!

When you're afraid of your whole heart never opening again, when you lose someone you loved unconditionally.

"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."
"Music is everybody's business. It's only the publishers who think people own it."
"Truth only means something when it's hard to admit."

When your heart sinks for a bit, when you remember an old school friend who passed away and how unexpected things can turn out to be in life and the realization of the fact that you really, really never know.
I miss her. Neha Puri.
One of those very few genuine people I'd come across in my life.

I almost had tears in my eyes when I saw that video
When you come to think of it, you can learn so much from everyone around you. And we all know that. It isn't something new or something that hasn't been figured out/discovered. But then again, it's like one needs to be reminded of certain things in life even though one knows all of it somewhere in their subconscious self.

Maybe there really isn't anything as impossible. At least as far as the imagination of the human mind goes. And if the factors that control one's determination/passion in reality are on another level :)
A seven year old with that conviction, and understanding of the rights and the wrongs, and beliefs...
It really did leave me speechless with a tear at the edge of the eye.

Naariyal paani :)
It gives a different level of satisfaction. On a different tangent maybe?
Apart from quenching the thirst in a manner that you'd wanna take a deep breath (almost as good as closing your eyes and aligning things in your mind with the rest of your body for a moment), it just makes one feel good overall.
When I think of it as coconut water, in my head, I go like, how angrez is that? Haha.
Although those are the words for it in english, I get it. But whatever, I will always call it naariyal paani :)

Too much of the subject Accounts can leave my brain not functioning (for a while) well enough to figure out how to cross the road. And seriously. #HappenedToday

Ability to accept/admit things. SO important. Acceptance always adds to the steps of getting there, where you think you want to.

I like Mumbai people :)
Friendly. Don't bother you. Don't look at you from eyes that might want to harm you in any sort of way at all.

Oh and as per the last post,
Since it was supposed to be an outburst and it didn't exactly turn out to be one, I still have some subsided bit left in my thoughts somewhere. But nonetheless, for now, I didn't realize at all until I finished writing that post that it was the 14th of February yesterday. No specification at all towards that, considering the post was pretty much revolving around males. #AbsoluteCoincidence
