Dot of Happiness

I love my blog. I love me. I love the world. I love travelling. I love my blog.
I love my past. I love (I know I will) the future. I love music. I love dancing. I love my blog.
I love photography. I love winters. I love beaches. I love colours. I love my blog.

I love obsessing. I love my blog.

:D :D :D

The Black That Kills

It was a picturesque shore
The boat was pretty too
I had perfect company
Never knew rowing could be so much fun.

It's a quiet island
It does not have the things movies talk of
Silence keeps me company
While I stand alone, stranded.

Memory of a Memory of a Memory

Memory!




I was just listening to fm and heard that song rang rang mere rang rang mein from the movie Bollywood Hollywood.
It reminded me of this one thing that happened in school. I got to dance with an ultra hot guy on this song. He was from St. Thomas, Dehradun. That school had come to mine for a sports meet. The dance was at the social we had with their team.

Boy! Were all the girls of my batch jealous? Or was it envious? And did i forget to mention that he asked me for the dance. :P

The best part was that it ended at 9 in the night and next day it was news!! And was I enjoying the attention or what?!!

I swear, that guy was very very handsome and smelled great too. I remember, before leaving he came up to get a picture clicked with me. Aaah...there were more eyes staring at us. Lol!!

He turned out to be bastard but then who cares!! I had a great time. Plus, a break from the fact that I was not one of the 'sought after' girls in school ( in this context) was welcome. :D :D

Clairessence

I have a sensitive nose. Not just in terms of it being in pain even if you touch it, but also because of the fact that I have an extremely strong sense of smell. And that has two aspects to it.
1. I can smell things from a distance.
2. I associate people, places, and time with smell.

If you are close to me, I can even sense your moods according to the smell I get from you. Yes, I can smell beyond your litres full of perfume too.

I have fond memories of a lot of people defined by an unexplainable smell.

But then there are also moments when I am suddenly caught off-guard by a smell from the past. Then I don't know how to handle the reactions it tries to trigger. They are not necessarily happy or sad smells, I just know they're extremely strong and result in that gush of emotions that make me pine for all the things they represent (especially because I do not have most of them now).

It's a funny phenomenon, and I have still not got a complete hang of how it works. But I enjoy it in spite of the unsettling feelings attached with it.

First Love

I went back to school today. Met some of my teachers, and spent a good amount of time feeling happy.

:)

Spent Prep playing here. And somehow I enjoyed being around those Ashoka trees more than on the swings n all. I was 5 years old then. Phew!!

This is a corridor in the Junior School. The first room here on the right was my 2nd standard classroom.


These are the entrance steps to the Middle School (5th to 7th std). I was a prefect then too, and used to be on duty here often.


I found an old room where the furniture that was used in initial years was lying. And incidentally this was also the room that used to be 8D when I was in VIIIth. One of the most memorable years of my entire school life.


That's Mr Frank Anthony, the school's founder. He was a member of the Parliament when it was first formed.
Courage is Destiny is the school motto.


Of course, the field. Never ran around it as much as I made kids who misbehaved do it. Chudail prefect in senior school! :P


This is the main assembly platform for the senior school. Took my House Captain oath here, and did some singing too. :P


This is an open auditorium/ basketball court that was built sometime when I was in 10th. Our formal farewell happened here. All the crying with "I believe I can fly" too.


That's our main hall on the left. The one where I debated a lot with shaky legs. And the open area is where the junior school had its morning assembly. I was here in a different line every morning for four years.


Spent 13 years in and around this building.

Forever in love!

In Memory Of...

Toteya, manmoteya...
tu ais gali na aa;
Ais gali de jatt bure...
Te lende phaiyan pa.*

Ma happened to recite these lines today. Mati (my grandma) used to when I was very small. I think I heard them after about 12-13 years today. Would never have thought of coming across these words again. I didn't even know that I'd be able to remember them.

*It's just a little rhyming verse in Punjabi.

Hold On

Someone’s past, someone else’s present. People are different but they are almost the same. Those tears mean the same, that hurt is the same; it’s the same old shit.
Things still hurt, people still exist; misunderstandings have no solutions it seems.

I know I am fine as soon as I start talking, but it all comes out when I start talking.
I still remember that last hug,
I still remember that last smile,
Just never knew they were the last.

I still live by that music,
I still live by those songs that are only in my head now,
Just never knew that they were the only ones.

I still care about you,
I still wanna know where you are,
Just don’t know whether you appreciate it anymore or not.

I still somewhere hope for things to get better,
I still someday want to meet you,
Just don’t know if it is all too unreal.

Today I don’t even know if you’ll understand that I am writing about you or not, but I would like you to know that I still think that you’re one of the nicest people I ever met.
I know where I want to see you one day, so don’t you ever give up on those dreams. Maybe you won’t see me then, but I’ll keep an eye.

I still care about your existence, you bugger!
Miss you...

...You tried to fill some emptiness
till all you had spilled over,
Now everything’s so far away
that you don’t know where you are.
When all that you wanted
and all that you had
don't seem so much
for you to hold on to
for you to belong to...

College Sweethearts II


Meet my friends. That's Neha, Jayant, Amiya, Ishani, Vidur, Tarun, Saumya, and I'm there too. These candles were to be placed at a favourite spot in the college campus and none of us had doubts about where to keep them. These stairs are and will forever be called Neha Steps. Of course, there's a story behind that. But yes, three beautiful years spent in this college are officially over.

The friendships will remain...

Perfect 3 Hours!

A big, warm hug.
A sarcasm or two.
Self praise.
Self-help in the kitchen.
Little pranks.
Long walk.
Hanging out at Priya’s.
Laughing non-stop.
Going back to critical analysis of every passer-by.
Memories of embarrassing situations in public places.
Loving and hating men.
An Archies card without an occasion.
Sarcasm-filled words of love.
Best wishes.
And another big, warm hug.
