Inner peace

Good evening, world. I've been thinking a lot about what inner peace actually means. Of course, there were a lot of things that crossed my mind while in the process of thinking about it but a few things were confusing as well. Let's talk about what inner peace according to me is. Sure, feel free to differ or have a discussion about the same. I have spent 2 years outside of where I lived the majority of my life and they were the best two years of my life. Why? Because there were so many first-time things that I experienced which I've been longing to experience. I've lived in a hostel, I've lived on my own and I've gone for trips with my friends. I've cooked food, washed clothes and cleaned my house along with learning how to deal with nosey neighbours and how to also bargain while buying vegetables, so as to you don't get ripped off. (Remember, 1kg potatoes are cheaper than 1kg of chicken. The amount of mashed creamy potatoes!) That's it for the f

On a lonesome night

Come dusk, she walked on the ground, admiring the perfect evening. An evening without any artificial illumination, wondering how she will survive her up-coming time in this new surrounding. She walked, with a smile on her face, hiding the obvious void in her heart of that romantic dream. She walked, from one corner to another, without being tired but yet, she was already worn out by the calculated problems in her head. And she still walked by with her head held high when in a group but when by herself, she moved around like an unnoticed creature, avoiding human contact. If walking didn't tire her, maybe talking did, And if not that, the final blow were the thoughts that continuously kept appearing and disappearing at its own convenience. Inconvenient for her, as these thoughts only crept in while she was accompanied by another and when all alone, the thoughts left her company, too. She did often wonder, "Why do these thoughts keep coming?" but she has no answer as of t

Reminiscing the past

Good Afternoon, world. Today I come here to rant about so many thing. Its been  long since I ranted about something, no? Yep, it has been.  I want to talk about people, friends actually, since my university is coming to an end. Allow me to rewind a little and take you back to my initial days of college.  It was July, if I can recall pretty clearly, that I came to this city Gandhinagar and set my belonging in the room, choosing the little window-side-corner bed for resting my ass. I was elated and the level of my excitement was hitting the roof. I was going to be living alone, without any supervision, for the next two years of my hostel life. There was going to be nobody to check on my expenditure, my clothing or even my community people to talk about the number of guys I would hang out with. With that in mind, I had the 2-occupancy room all by myself until my room-mate Tanvi moved in. I must say, it was a pleasant experience staying with her. I have never hated somebody as m

The need of unknown and virtual.

The level of my sanity just hit the roof.   There should be a need in everybody's life of a friend who you've never met before or spoken to. The idea of having an online, or lets call it virtual, friend is as exciting as meeting your favorite actor from Game of Thrones or whatever soap you're hooked onto. To pen down a few reasons as to why I am in favor of an online friend is -  THEY DON'T JUDGE YOU.  Yup, that's right. They don't have the time to sit and judge you over how you behave and act. They're always there to listen to you and give you advices, without thinking that there is another side to the story you're ranting out to them. THEY NEVER FEEL INSECURE. I think this is completely true. There is a sense of unknown element, that is so pleasant which carves way for the insecurity to just creep out and NOT in. There is always a dedicated time in a day, month or a week where you receive a mail from the other and no matter how busy

The first trip.

I have obviously had many trips before but none like this. This was the first time I got to travel to Rajasthan with a friend to explore an unfamiliar territory. I cannot thank Aman enough for this experience. We went completely crazy on this trip, survived our days on 'patasi', what they call pani puri, rode in an auto from one fort to another and making the auto driver hike along with us. This was just a little to begin with. Our Jaipur trip began when we left Ahmedabad at night and reached Jaipur at 4:30am. That time of the morning and the only thing to beat our cold was the made available at the station. To pick us up was Feeroz, a couchsurfer that we found via Couch Surfing App, This was again a first time experience we had with Couch Surfing. 2 days there and the next 1 day at Zostel Jaipur. I'd tell you, Zostel was much more fun because there were people from different parts of the city walking in at different time of the day and the only time you'd get to see

The year that wasn't.

Well hello, How was your new year? Fascinating? Exciting? Mine was boring. I traveled around 28 hours in a bus from Gujarat to Bangalore in hopes of staying with my friends during THE time of the year. Basically, I did not want to stay in my hostel room when my friend here would be celebrating. Little selfish? Well yeah. Imagine spending around 14 years of your life with these people around you, every new year, and suddenly you've moved into a different city with no friends and no people in the hostel because hey, its new years and people go back to their cities to celebrate it! Either way, it sucked. What was exciting, one might ask. Lets see, how about a story of how I was hit on my ass twice by strangers while one in a club and the second while walking down a busy street. Also, being pinched on the boob when I tried to confront the man who hit my ass. Never in my life I've felt so violated about being present in a crowded place. Bangalore crowd had managed to make

The fault in my life

New year, a new start. Suddenly. when you think about blogging, you have nothing else to say. I did think of a few things I'd like to write but then again, they're all slowly vanishing from my mind and slipping into darkness. I've always had this deal - That I will find a guy, who will sway me off my feet and love me so much that I'l just survive on that. Life isn't fair always. I am on that side of life where it seems to be unfair. The wait of a prince charming will grow me old where eventually, no prince charming will want to come. I always strongly believed that this will happen. There will be a time where I will fall in love and things will fall in place. The more romantic movies I watch, the more hopeful I become. And then, there is equal amount of disappointment too. Now, I am like this - That fuck it. No, seriously. There is nobody who will sway you off your feet. Life isn't rosy, like James Blunt would sing "Its not always rainbows and but
