Joy!

Not happiness. But JOY.

Every day is a battle.  We struggle with others and more often with ourselves chasing a very mundane life. We waste our resources trying to do what we think is expected of us and try to find happiness in it. I wonder what is the whole point of this tedious exercise when none of it really matters.Why compromise for something which is not worth a dime?

It is nowhere written that this is life and this is the only way to live it. So why take the trouble of trying to living up to some one else's expectations when it doesn't give you joy?

If there is one thing that keeps you awake and the thought of not being able to do it gives you goose bumps, then pursuing it would be the best thing you will be gifting yourself. Nothing can parallel the excitement that lies in chasing your only dream, your true passion.

Isn't a relentless quest for that sheer ecstasy, that matchless joy the only purpose of life?!!

15 years!

It has been 15 years since I first met you! FIFTEEN YEARS!
15 years without a single fight.
Without a misunderstanding or a communication gap.
Without any foolish ego clashes.

Its hard to believe how quickly time passed away. Yesterday, we were girls of seven with pigtails and a heavy school bag. Today we are 21 with dreams and hopes about future. Your friendship, patience and kindness has made these 15 years an amazing journey.

I miss the days we used to literally ROFL at my brother's silly questions and my mom's even sillier answers.
I miss our never ending chats about everything under the sun.
I miss spending time with you.

Sometimes, I wonder what would it have been like if I haven't met you and then quickly curse myself. Thanks for being my best friend and for being more than a sister.
I wish you a lifetime of happiness and success. Happy Birthday Mouni!

So, that is how it is!

Pre-Script: Read the previous post before starting this.

Thanks to my friend who happens to remember my password, I am a 9 pointer this time. Funny thing! I don't remember writing any paper for more than an hour and a half. So, only my profs know what went wrong with my grades this time.

I cannot attend the only interview I wanted to because the viral fever turned out to be something more serious and I am bed arrested :(

So, that is how it is!
Sometimes, unexpected grades surprise you.
Sometimes, you lose your chance of making something big.
Never mind.
Brick walls are there for a reason. If I don't have what it takes to break them, then may be I don't have the right to dream big!
