Snippets...

I do not give up on people, I never do.
Sadly, they give up on me. 
I guess I am someone who can be just dismissed.

People who express themselves aren't attention seekers.
When you don't like someone's updates, why don't you just block them? If you don't want to block, use the option of 'hide from news feed', but stop judging.

I trusted people and shared everything, only for them to point fingers at me later.
I don't influence others to behave in a particular manner with the people I don't get along. It just hurts when they take a decision on their own, and later very easily throw it on my face. What did I do?

I realized, that when someone cries, the world sympathises and accepts him/her as sensitive.
When someone braves everything quietly, gets labelled as 'tough'. And then smacked with sarcasm, "you are tough, you can deal with it" as if it's a crime to be one. Who said tough people don't have feelings?

We moved from stone age to digital age. From socialising to social media.
Unfortunately, the mindset did not move from the stone age.

Friendships today are judged by the tags, the dedications and screenshots. It's such a pity.

Validations have become necessary to prove the sincerity. Why is it that I never asked for it?

People break ties so easily, without thinking the time and effort it took to form one.

You cannot hold someone responsible for the insecurities that you harbour.

I have valued relationships. But, now I cannot and I will not spend my emotional energy proving it. There will be a day when someone will look at me and say, "you matter". 
_____________________________________________________________

Sometimes someone doesn't want to video chat, not because they want you to beg. The reason could also be that they don't want you to see the pain and the scars they have been hiding under the garb of a normal phone call. But, sadly, no one bothers to ask.
_____________________________________________________________

People around me should be happy that I am 'tough'. After all, I take the load off  their heads. They know they can dump everything on my head, and I will take care of it. 
_____________________________________________________________

I am not allowed to be needy, because I am tough. Yeah, being tough is a curse.
_____________________________________________________________

I understand you know. I quietly watch the actions, I quietly hear the statements thrown at me. I don't say anything, not because I can't. 
_____________________________________________________________

Out of 650 Instagram posts, I deleted about 600. I thought I was collecting moments of today which would be my memories of tomorrow. A few years later when I look back at the pictures I posted, I would smile. Little did I know that I was being judged. The fact that I was being judged, didn't hurt. People who did it - that hurt. I changed my posts into insta stories, because the comments would then be available as personal messages. No clarifications required.

And sometimes, people who speak highly of you will be the ones who won’t spare a minute to talk I’ll about you. You take it in your stride.

"When you hear a bad story about me, which is very often, you should understand that there was a time I was good to those people too.. but they won't tell you that" - This quote is spot on, in my case.

Fell down, got up, dusted!! Repeated!! And repeating!!

Between then and now...

My last post was on 16th March 2015, and I haven't visited this space since then... Lot of things happened between then and now.. March 25th 2015, we finally got the possession of the villa, we had been rooting for. The previous owner was a complete jerk, he put us through an ordeal. But as they say, when you really want something, the universe conspires to get it for you. I desired that house, which is now my beautiful home. Even before, we signed the papers, I had visualized the decor of this house...my house, my home! I was happy with my previous villa too, it was enough for the 4 of us, but, hey, dreams are not in your control, fulfilling them definitely is. My husband made it happen. He just went after the guy to get this for us. The whole of April and May was spent in doing up the house. The woodwork, the furniture, drapes etc... Everything had to be coordinated. Though am still not happy with the colour of the curtains.. Looking around to find the right one. Then came t

short story..

Rohan checked his reflection in the mirror, clean shaven he was a dapper tonight, he smiled. His thoughts were interrupted by the sales lady, "Sir, your item is ready, it will be 25000/. Would you be paying by cash or card?" "Card", he said. He collected his packet and got into his car, waiting at the signal, he glided his hand on the velvet case. "She is gonna love it", he said it aloud in the privacy of his sedan.  He was dying to be in her arms tonight, and hear those magical words. He laughed, for thinking like a teenager. Nisha's intercom beeped, the guard informed her of Rohan's arrival. she checked herself for one last time in the mirror, sprayed her chanel, and went to the door. Rohan walked in with a bunch of flowers, and gave her the velvet box. A beautiful diamond studded pendant with a gold chain. She blushed, as he offered to string it around her neck, his hand brushed her bare shoulders, she shivered. She looked in his eyes, as he car

2013 it will be..

I was having my coffee in the morning as usual, when I saw the caption 'time flies'. That set me thinking. Checked the date, and couldn't believe that there were just 5 days left for 2012 to end. Phew!  Well, it's cliched, because every year, I say the same thing. I desperately wanted 2011, to end slowly, as the arrival of 2012 meant that I would have to leave Bangalore, but obviously, we do not have control over time. So 2012 came, I moved, and I am still settling in so to say, and now it's time to welcome another year. Thank God for surviving one more year. This is one prayer that I always say every year. New Year, new beginnings, so I guess I have to wait and watch what 2013 has in store for me. In the meanwhile, I will draw up my list of resolutions - that is a ritual, and I love to do it every year. I do not stick to the list, so this time, losing weight is definitely NOT there, though I still have to work on my water intake. I am worse than a camel when it com
