The Girl Next Door

They were best friends since kindergarten, Playing with mud and dogs in the garden, He pulled her hair and tripped her everywhere, She just stood there and stared; Her wide button like eyes, Trying to figure out his mischievous guise, His round chubby hands, Working out his new plans. She would help him with homework and lend him notes, He would tease her all day until he got bored, Then a day came by, When he looked her in the eye, And told her why, He had fallen high, For a girl he couldn’t deny. And as her eyes glittered with joy, She found him turn around and coy, Not to the smile that stood in front of him, But the one that three rows apart shimmed. He confessed his love and made her swore, The best friend remained true to her core, She just remained, The Girl Next Door.

Someone...

I may not be as smart as you, Or as brilliant as you. I may not be the leader you expect me to be, Nor can I inspire the world like you do. I may not earn the respect that you found, Or the success that your elder daughter reaped. I may never reach that zenith of dedication, I may not be what you expected of me. But why sugar coat? Perhaps, I am none of these things. Not smart enough. Not dedicated enough. Not successful enough. I am none of these things. But I choose to believe, I am more than them. I am someone who endures all that is thrown at her. Someone who has actually seen failure. Someone who has fell. Someone, who has herself learnt to get up. Someone who cries herself to sleep, Only to wake up the next day and help you smile. Someone who longs to see your eyes full of pride, Even when you refuse to look at her. I am someone who has found light in the shadows. I reach beyond the confines of your expectations. I am more t

A never ending ordeal...

She was walking with him, a familiar face, a face that made her blush, his name always brought a smile to her face. They were climbing up the staircase now; it was spring below. She saw ice flowers; having no clue how they existed there. She was sure they did not belong there; she knew the place too well.  Frost started covering the steps, invading beautifully from the top most level. It stopped the moment it reached her untied shoelace. It troubled her so she glanced up to look at him. He was still smiling at her covering her cold hands in his warmness . His smile always charmed her, the crease on her forehead released on seeing his face. They reached their destination.  She always wanted to show him that place, the place that had seen most of her childhood. Every thing was exactly as she remembered it to be, even the wild shrubs remained the same size. The house looked abandoned as it did when her family moved away. The place remained untouched, as if time never effected it. Onl

Next phase...

Well who knew time could travel so fast! I'm already done with my first year at college! What a semester it has been really... A lot of sleepless nights, disappointments, achievements, happiness, sadness, adventures and ofcourse SHEETS! Its been two months and I'm back in college after a long and lethargic summer break. The two months at home were mostly spent lazing around the house and meeting high school friends. The only productive work I did was join Autocad classes and meet the Architects at my dad's office. I learnt a lot by interacting with the Architects who were really glad to share their knowledge and experience with me. As my first year passes, it leaves just four more now. I hope I learn a lot more, experience a lot more and enjoy college. I hope relations become stronger with each passing year...

Playtime...

Kiddo days were so much fun! No care in the world, a mind free to think, do and dream! Cherishable days truly... I wonder if i'll ever be able to think the way I used to as a kid, wonder about things in the world, question everything, be curious about everything, adventurous, active, fun. Those innocent minds ready to capture and gain as much as they can grasp at a time. I miss it, the way I used to be... Ahh those kiddo days... when will they come again?

Diwali in Mandi!

This was a complete unplanned trip! We got around 4-5 days off for Diwali and most of us girls decided to stay and sulk in hostel, except the ones staying in Himachal. Friday morning, Vidisha shakes me up from my sleep and says, " Pack your bags! We are going to Mandi!" I was half asleep when she dragged me down to the office to get the outpass form( I didn't even brush!) We came back, did all the morning chores, and started packing. Our bus left at 12:30. We reached just in time, one minute late and we would have missed it. And what a journey it was! It took 5 hours to reach Mandi, with me gasping the entire time seeing the picturesque hills and valleys. The step(or terrace) farming they do in hilly terrains look so beautiful, you just can't take your eyes off them! view on the way to Mandi Mandi is situated in a valley through which the river Beas flows. The town in situated on either side of the peaceful river. Mandi has 81 temples which also gives it anoth

Just a blink...

And another year passes by in the blink of an eye... What an year it has been. I had never imagined that it would turn out to be so happening! There I was at the start of the year bored and unhappy with my life as a 12th grader and here I am at the end of the year- a first year B.Arch student at NIT Hamirpur! I had never anticipated I would land up here! Traveled north, south, east, and west of India, to finally settle in the north for the next five years! :D At the start of the year I was in the normal teen phase-bored with studies, not interested in anything but chatting with friends, slouch the entire time, watch anything and everything that was showing on the television, listen to music till the crack of the dawn, and what not! Then there was this study phase-the entire month of March! And I did some serious studying that time-I really did. April and May was a busy phase too with filling forms for various colleges, arguing with my dad about my choices... I even went to
