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...

I am thankful for

1. Naps: I had been in sleep debt for such a long time now, and over this weekend I slept well and a lot, and I feel like I have some energy back.  2. Alone time: My roommate was busy this weekend, and I was all alone- just doing my sleeping, laundry, reading. Like I have said before , it is a recharge for me to spend some time with just myself without the need to talk or be there for others.  3. Work: Past few months were a long, painful wait to get work. I used to hate those days when I was just waiting and it made me feel so worthless. But finally, I have got it! Bonus point: the perfect location- it's a five minute walk to a beautiful park facing a lake. I have been going there every day during lunch.  4. Fights: Normally, fights aren't something people are thankful for. But sometimes they show you how people care for you or how much you mean to them, so yeah today I am thankful for few. 5. A good news: My childhood friend got engaged! Yay!...

There I was: a story

There I was. Standing in the midst of the hustling crowd, all excited faces around me, all waiting for a change - a new start. Some of them might want a new life, a new career, a new direction or maybe even a new love, but they all had one thing in common - all they wished was to leave behind their past full of mistakes and bad memories, a past filled with betrayals and broken hearts, a past that witnessed all disappointments and let downs. They wanted to put it all behind them, and start over new. They all needed to move on, just as this night would leave behind the darkness and turn into a beautiful canvas, with sparkles all over it, in few minutes. Yes, it's the New Year's Eve party. And I could see all eyes around me carrying that sparkle in them, ready to take risks, ready to go for another adventure, to face their fears, to dare playing with their hearts again. I was wondering what I was doing there, I had no one to be with, no one to kiss at the new year. Go...
