College on!

Its been almost 2 and a half months since my college life started. Days have gone by adjusting in the new phase of my life. Its a whole new independent experience which is going to play a huge part in my life. Hostel life has been real fun and exhausting as well( cleaning your room, doing the laundry- stuff that mum used to take care of- are added burdens). You miss your family A LOT, mom the most. I became pretty attached to my mother in the last 2 years, that's the reason why I miss her the most!(also she used to take care of half the problems in my life!). Plus the workload on architecture students is a lot, really! There are numerous sleepless nights, hours spent standing in the studio and working 'cause the stools are uncomfortable, and lunch that we skip to complete our sheets. At the end of the day we finally return to our rooms just to find the bed untidy, with a pile of clothes on one end and the bedsheet and blanket half rolled up in the other...

Enough blabbering about my troubles(need to save it for my future posts!). Coming to the best thing about my college-its location. Himachal is an absolute beauty. The campus of NIT is situated in one of the smallest towns of Himachal, Hamirpur, surrounded by tall green pine trees and huge rocks. I fell in love with the peaceful environment of the campus at first glance!( only to realize later that it isn't going to be that peaceful-but that's a different story). Anyway, my first post about college should definitely be a picture heavy post! :)


On the way to college.  The walk is almost 15-20 minutes (2 km) from hostel, not to forget continuously uphill. AND we are late EVERYDAY! 


This is the admin block of our college. All the buildings here follow a set color theme-orange, green and white! Love the combination!


Just a small powerhouse on the way to hostel...


The Auditorium of our college! Looks more like a haunted house-probably because of the added effect! :)


In the hostel corridor...
That's it for now. I am currently in Jaipur for my mid semester breaks(only for a week ). That is how I got the time to update my blog, but I don't think that I'm gonna get even a slight chance of updating it for the next 2 months. So until my semester ends-which will be in December, no posts...

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 effecte...
