Forever and always!


Yesterday, while doing the packing, I thought of taking along few greeting cards from my close ones. So, I took out the whole heap I have collected over years. While searching for the ones I wanted, I also came across I ones I should have avoided. Ones from my ex best friends. I know I should have avoided reading them again, but I couldn't stop myself from going through them. In all of them, it was the same thing- 'friends forever and always.' How things change!! Few months ago, the people who considered that I am the one who understands them the most and I am the one with whom they can share every bit of their life, are not even around anymore. Maybe they would think of me sometimes (like I do), but it hardly matters now. We have come too far to even get close to the way we were. As they say,"The glass once broken can never be joined again." All of this has taught me one thing for sure: "Forever and always lasts only till we are together." We can never be sure of anything or anybody. People change. Their priorities change. The only constant is change, and if you don't change along- you are left behind, you are destroyed.

P.S. One day to go :( 
Done with packing (almost.) I am already feeling nostalgic.

  1. Wise words :) I keep all that stuff too. Even if I'm not in that place with someone anymore, I still like reading of a time when things were better.

  2. I've lost a few friends over the years. I think about them sometimes and it hurts so much.

  3. That reminds me of this quote I saw yesterday: "A bend in the road is not the end of the road...unless you fail to make the turn." -Unknown

A day in San Francisco — Memorial Day

If you have followed my blog for sometime, you probably know about my big move across coast. It's been a few months being a Cali resident, but I haven't gotten out as much as I would have liked.  Maybe once we move to a place, it kinda loses the tourist charm that it has when we visit for a weekend. Don't you think? I decided to make this right and this Memorial Day weekend, I spent my first Touristy day in San Francisco. Like anything else, I made a long list of places to see, and spread it across three days based on distance proximity. Yes, it was a whole weekend plan but life get in way and hence it ended up being just a day trip. The day started with a little detour at Bay Trail, near Shoreline Park, followed by a quick brunch at Crepe Vine and a beautiful long drive to the city. The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...

Transient Tuesdays: Don’t Be Afraid of Change

There are two types of people: those who fear change and those who actively pursue. I have always been an active pursuer of change, while my brother was not. I was the kid who changed my after school activity until I found what I really loved, with no fear at all. I was the one who changed my hair in middle school, who became a leader in a club during my freshmen year of high school, and who insisted on touring the country at 17.  Change is a choice, and is an active endeavor. And so is not changing. We decide the direction our lives take, and we can either do so with fear or with confidence. Making changes keeps life the way you want it, on the track you wish to take, and is completely you’re choice what to do, or not do. Change shouldn't scare you, because it’s a tool to help you make your life just the way you want. Although staying where you are is comforting, change can make you grow and improve your situation. So go change your hair, your job, your city, or w...

Transient Tuesdays: Create change

Imagine a world where everything remained unchanged. That would mean no age, no time, no movement and of course no development. If you ask me, I see no difference between death and remaining static. When was the last time you did something new?  How long have you been sticking to a routine and disregarded the idea of doing something new for a change? Is any of your bad habits causing you pain?  You realize you have to change but simply can't bring yourself to do it?   Do you fear changing will jeopardize your present circumstances? I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to these questions. The fact that you're reading this means you want to take the steps and turn your life around. You must be aware how important change is to our survival. Change is mandatory. Change is constant. Change is inevitable. Change is everywhere and present in the most minute of things. It's happening to you as you read this. So, why do we shy away from...
