Will miss you...

By
Forgot when it was last time that I had a New Year’s Eve plan in place. No…don’t get me wrong, its not that I intentionally tried to avoid people. It just didn’t happen! Work schedules, laziness…or blame it just to Facebook, where I am in regular touch with people I call friends.

But as surprising as this year turned out to be, surprisingly I have a plan in place. In fact, a couple of them so to say! A part of me is excited to meet people I haven’t met for ages…renew old ties, another part is dreading the what-how-when-why’s that am sure would come up. Another dear part of me is silently wishing to be in my city…doing something I would have been really happy doing. The impulsive whimsical me wanted to go and give surprise to some people…its just four hours to-and-fro. But then the logical me took over, and I refrained.

2010 has been good. As long as I choose to look back at the smiles it has given me, the year has been awesome. Some awesome people in my life…awesome moments…and lessons of lifetime. Perhaps that’s why I am silently wishing 2010 never ends. Who knows what 2011 has in store?

To be honest, I fell in love with 2010. And as possessive and introvert as I am, just when I realized and admitted that am in love with the year, it’s about to make its exit. Heard somewhere…tell/ realize before its too late. Same happened to me and 2010. But guess it has to go. So I’ll let it. With a smile.

And will welcome 2011…with whatever it has in store for me. And promise myself to take each day as it comes…each moment as it comes…and live as if there is no tomorrow.

See you in 2011.

Names unnamed!

Months back (or is it years now?) I wrote somewhere, “Naming certain relationships complicate life. So don’t!” From then on, and even before that, I believed in it. And now when I look back, I see more unnamed relationships than named. Not that I can’t give them a name, but I choose not to. Of course, to look at it, all of us have the convenient blanket term ‘friend’ to name it. But somewhere deep down inside, I do know that ‘friend’ does not state it all. Who do I call a friend? Someone who I have been interacting with regularly, share my thoughts and emotions with, or just go out shopping when I have nothing better to do. Or just some random people I say “What’s up dude? Have been thinking of you/ missing you…”? That reminds me…ever thought how “miss you too” is different from “miss you”? It is…trust me! How about missing a habit? As simple as the habit of talking to someone/ about something for hours! Do you miss the person or the habit if it’s curtailed one fine day? Or is it

Irons and Ironies...

A lazy Saturday…with an unexplainable feeling of “donno what’s wrong”…or perhaps I do! Making me wonder, is sudden ‘the number you are trying to call is switched off’ enough to let my mind wander and wonder the whole night? Enough to wake up late with a bad migraine! And wanting to fast forward to Monday…so that I can find myself busy working. They say an idle brain is a devil’s workshop, and the devil that I am, my idle brain almost attains the level of being a perfectionist devil when it gets a chance. With some old songs playing over and over again , a chord suddenly stuck my mind. Attachment phobia! Was discussing the same with someone a few days back, advising rather. Only to end up with the realization I do not practice what I preach. Strange as it may seem, I don’t even miss the city I grew up in as much as I should. Miss those people in the city. NO! At times it feels good to think that I miss, but I don’t. I keep finding reasons to miss, make myself believe that I do, b

the Questions…

By
Did anyone ever tell me that I would miss my home awfully much? Did anyone ever teach me what to do when on a certain evening the city-I-grew-up-in would whisper deafeningly my name? Have I done so much, grown up so much…that returning to where I come from scares me? Am I aware that I am away for so long …that family is a planned appointment? Was I aware that I am such a different person at work that I no longer remember what I wanted to be at 6? Was I aware that the song that my mom would sing to me when I was a kid is not on my iPod? Have I ever imagined that I can spend an entire afternoon alone? Have I ever imagined that I would wait for rain-walk…and can laugh for no reason at all? Have I ever noticed before when watching the rains that the coconut fronds dance? When was the last time I learnt the best lesson of my life? Was it when dad taught me ‘confusing tense’ at the bus stop? Or was it when ma told me not to talk to strange men before I left the house? W
