Television, as an idiot box is respectably referred to..is not something new in our lives. It is infact something that has developed quite a lot in the recent times..! Anyways my aim is neither to endorse a new brand or to enlighten you regarding the health effects that it causes or anything like that. I am here to discuss the new, actually not so new trend of having more than one set of idiot boxes.
To begin with, I still remember how badly I wanted a separate TV of my own to avoid clashes with my mom-When she wanted to see one of her daily soaps with the usual melodramas..planning and plottings! And when my dad wanted to watch the daily business news..whereas I wanted to see that amazing movie..or Roadies or one of my favourite shows! It always ended up by me giving up whatever I wanted to see. I then either left the room or sat there with a grim face relentlessly waiting for a commercial to pop up!!
But now we have two different sets of television..so that I can watch whatever I want..! Most importantly whenever I want. ;) Its a comparatively clashless life nowadays..with me minding my own business in my room.
But sometimes, I miss that chaos and petty fights over that poor little remote control!
For a family like mine..where we all love to have dinner together and at the same time tune into our favourite shows mostly during that time, the 2nd TV sort of splitted us. Me and my brother in one room while my mom dad in another, for most of the times, even for dinner. And truely speaking the food no longer tastes good this way!!
So even though the 2nd set brought along some moments of peace, a luxury especially when you want to see some late night show.;), it often makes you miss those stupid-emo-funny moments spent together..!
Ever tried to listen to the sound of wind? Or to feel the calmness of moonlight? Well, in this fast paced busy yet lazy life of ours..we tend to neglect and fail to feel the most beautiful things around us! We try to catch up with everything around us and forget to do what we love. We often think about doing it..but the final execution never takes place!
Like I've been wanting to write for so long..but since I'm no different than anyone else..(not so busy bt quite lazy..!), Here I am writing after such a long time..!
I actually wanted to write about this happy sweet moment I felt sometime back. When I was on my terrace..moon glimmering in the sky and a slight cool breeze brought a whole lot of happy thoughts in my mind along with a sweet smile on my face!
It was so much better than the hot burning day. A little tired..I just closed my eyes for a while..and all I could think of were the sweetest moments of my day...
The way I spent my day was intriguingly satisfying. A day well spent filled with lots of activities and some fun part too. But the best part of my day made me realize something very amazing.
Sometimes you don't even imagine how a tiny gesture of yours can steal someone's heart. You just do it unknowingly..and people get so touched that they suddenly began to realize how much you care for them and in due process they remind you that they love you too.
There we were, all of us standing on the Metro Station waiting for the metro, when I asked her to keep her bag down coz it was very heavy, as it always is!! When we were all settled in the metro, out of nowhere, she asked me..why do u care for me so much?
All I could respond was with a stupid expresion and silly answer!! I asked her again..What happened to you now? She quoted her question again with some weird explanations..!!
But then it struck me..ohh yeah! Seriously! Though unintentionally..I just tend to care for her! And most importantly..I am used to it. I don't think about doing it..It just happens!!
And that day I realized that there is atleast one person out there whom I love..and its not just any attachment..its the best and sweetest of all..its our Friendship!!
I knew we can't live without telling each other everything but I never knew we'll get used to each other like this. This one is for you and a promise that our friendship will last forever! :) <3
I was watching FRIENDS, the episode in which Joey was on a Game show, The Pyramid. He was given the clue..”Its white” and all he came up with was “Paper,snow,a ghost!”.
I couldn’t help but smile then. I always liked Joey’s character despite the fact that he was dumb, reason being he lived his life blissfully even though his world was limited.
We all desire for a world of possibilities, a world where we have oodles of choices..so that we are able to select the one which is best suited for us. We like to weigh all our options and go for the one which suits us in the best possible way.
But I feel, more the number of choices, more is the chaos and confusion. For someone like me who feels making a decision is no less than a herculean task, these choices create a havoc!! I feel like a jack of all trades, master of none!! And that is when I wonder..How simple life would be if the choices offered were less! No complications..no confusion! U either have an A or B! That is actually how I usually narrow down all my choices and make decisions..but nowadays it is getting really hard.
So, when I face any dilemma and I don’t know what to do..I follow a simple -’take a chance’ strategy. If the choice works, lucky me!! If it doesn’t, well I definitely get to learn something. And when u learn something the hard way..u tend to keep it fr a longer time..;)
We are gifted with a lot of relations in this world but “Love” is one of the priceless emotions which one yearns to cherish. It is said falling in love is fate. You dont know when, where or how you might fall for someone. It just happens and when you realise it..you actually feel on top of the world..indeed one of the amazing feeling of all..!
When you like someone, just being around that person makes your day…Everything around seems so damn good…so fresh and alive..and when that person responds the the way you expected..then your smile says it all!!
You dont realize that u’ve been wearing that weirdly stupid smile all day. You even fail to notice that today,inspite of ur expectaions u’ve been surprisingly cheerful after u’ve talked to, seen or met that particular person who was indeed the reason for ur smile. And very often this smile makes u feel special..and raises a lot of questions too..:P
Before going to sleep, you review your entire day and remind yourself of those “special” moments. When you wake up..you just get ready to meet that person. Its all natural and it just flows. Suddenly all your thoughts seem to belong to that one person. You are just not you anymore!!!
The tricky part, however, is when even after realizing that you have almost entered in a whole new world…you just want to stop yourself..! You like the change..and you slowly get used to it too even though you know very well that sooner or later its gonna hurt someone.
You get scared enough to listen to your heart and just try harder and harder to be what you are not anymore.
You are confused. You get irritated and then you ask opinions.
“Say It”..people say. Of course, no one will understand what you feel until you tell it to someone, and esp the one whom you want it to know. You should say it and let it out is what the popular opinion is.
But sometimes..its better to wait and let your feelings unfold with time… Sometimes..even you need more time than you think…. Sometimes..words are not actually needed to express everything… You feel it…..you believe in it and it’ll happen for sure…………..
