DAY 100.

And that my friends is the end of my 100 happy days pledge!

Lots of memories, lots of struggles to find something happy in the day, hurried flashes of camera, getting out of bed half asleep after having forgotten to post the day's happy picture, and penning some beautiful pieces on days like this and this! Oh and this too!

Pursuing this taught me a very important lesson - Even on the worst days, there's a possibility of joy! Earlier, only Kate Beckett spoke it, now experience does too. 

And I have not been alone in this 100 day journey! Without my family and friends to give me the much needed support, I wouldn't have managed even a day!

Their lovely smiles, crazily optimistic spirits, penchant for unconditional love, a "Hi!" here, a "How are you?" there and sometimes just their being around was enough to make my day.

Dance like it is the last dance. Live like it is your last chance. After all, only cats get nine lives! A little craziness wouldn't make you insane. Been there, done that! ;) Unless, you think I am damaged beyond redemption, then you should steer away from the advice (AND THIS BLOG!) right away.

Technically, this may be the end of my 100 happy days, but I will carry forward this experience for the rest of forever. 

Oops! I could continue typing away but this technically marks the end of my one hour break too and now it is time to get back to my live-in partner - my beloved books!

Psst - There have been days when I have skipped posting, but can we keep it to ourselves, please? A day or two can be forgiven and forgotten right? ;)

Psst again *very discreetly* - My other blog completed a year today! Yay!

Day 66!

Unbounded joy! When you know you can irritate your friend and the friend cannot do anything about it!

Day 18!

Back from Japan! :-)

Day 12!

All those dear ones, away for a year or even a day, our hearts are just growing fonder! This is for you :

The best you can have!

She knows how to make me smile!

Irritating me is almost like her part-time job!

He’s crazy about his chick(en)s!

She is like my twin sister!

We’re fondly called the monkeys of the house!

I can bare my soul to her!

He calls me paranoid!

He gets me thinking!

My day is incomplete without talking to her!

He inspires me!

He loves my smile! I love his too!

She never ceases to sing! (Not even during class!)

She loves to fight!

These are my friends! And I love them the way they are. This is the family I got a chance to pick and choose! 

Happy Friendship Day to all my dear, near, close, long-lost, old, new, fun, boring, crazy, lazy and wacky friends!

Kyun Ki… Har ek friend zaruri hota hai!

Love you all!

Shine in silence!

Things might not always seem bright,
You might feel the end of the tunnel has no light,
But do not lose your faith upon Her,
She considers you strong, Mon cher.

Life will always give you highs and lows,
Our attitude decides who's going to stay and who bows,
We have a long way to go,
And to the world we'll show,

No matter how much the world puts us out,
We will always get up and go about.

In Love... With Life.

I was in love with life.

Until...

All those small moments shared,

All those little secrets told,

All those great mysteries unfolded,

We were there for one other unrivalled.

Tagging along, always found by my side,

Today, when I turn, I see none beside.

A twinkle here, a smile there,

Would make my day, no matter where.

You were my solace, you were my charm,

You turned out to be the one who caused me harm.

Little did I know, how it would end,

You twirled my life around a hair-pin bend.

You decided to make things bad,

You decided to ignore me,

You thought you could turn the table around,

You thought you were the one who'd survive,

But I am the one who did.

I am glad you were there,

And I am sad you aren't now.

But one thing is for sure,

I am in love... With life... Again.

This piece of work is dedicated to one of my dearest friends and a far amazing person than me! Not because she was "was in love with life. Until..." But because she is "in love... With life... Again."!

Love you loads! :)

To the one who means a lot to me!

This 3rd day of October marks the birthday of someone very close and special to me. Ritika Biyani. I’ve known her since I first joined school and the friendship still continues!  Over the years I’ve seen a lot of friends come and go, but she’s been rock steady.

 

I’ve seen friends fight for stupid reasons, back-bitch, drift apart, walk away. But not us. I hope it remains the same forever. it wouldn’t be wrong to say that she’s more of a family to me…

Ritika, I feel lucky to have shared such a bond with you.

 And thank God you have a sense of humour… otherwise our list of fun moments would have been so few! ;) Don’t bother if others don’t understand your jokes…! They’re missing out on a lot…:p

To my friend of 15 years and my newly-declared step-sister (pun intended!), 

 

 Happy Birthday!

Wish you all the love, success and happiness in the world!

You deserve the best of everything and much more!

Love you loads!
