For old times' sake! :)

Sometimes, in fact most of the times, I really find myself paralysed when its about expressing anything... I am really a difficult human being and I hate myself for being so...

I try so hard at times to say or do certain things which I just can’t do... It’s like an injury or a disability... disability of expressing me to the people who matter the most... :-(

Yesterday, I went to my college campus with an old friend of mine... It sounds funny but yes, I am in search of my self... What I was... what I am.... what happened... what changed.... and what not... I know I am crazily weird at times but that’s ok... I should like myself... the way I am... Rest, doesn’t really matter! :P

So, since I was going through this emotional turmoil... And was trying to figure out what actually is wrong with me I decided to look back.... back in time where I was truly happy... I know I was a very different individual at that point of time but, I need to understand me.... discover more of myself...

I decided to go back to my campus... I miss my college days... So, I along with my friend decided to live one day... the way we used to live 7 years back...

I wore my sports shoes, took my fone, some cash in pocket (like I used to do in college) and took metro for my campus... I reached there by 10.30am... Met my friend there and we started walking towards our breakfast junction.... On the way, I was searching for “bhelpuri wale uncle”... He wasn’t there so I asked another vendor standing there about him; I got to know that he comes around 1pm... I was happy to know he is all well...

We reached our old adda for breakfast and asked for “meetha samosa” the guy said it was out of stock and they’ll be making it soon again... We ordered “aloo samosa”, tea & my black coffee... finished it and proceeded...

On the way, we ate our desi burger from a thela... And continued walking towards a decent place to sit... we went to our old place where we used to eat... but it was locked... We visited our department in Science faculty... And finally, we decided to sit inside the law faculty campus... We sat there and talked for almost 2 hours... About how life changed, our learnings from job life and so on...

We realized it was 1pm.... bhelpuri time.... So, we started walking... I saw uncle, he was looking old and weak.... He recognised me instantly... I wanted to ask him for photo but somehow, I find it impossible to say things which I should... We ate bhelpuri... All the while, I was thinking of asking uncle for a picture but I was not able to... while leaving... I clicked his picture where he was surrounded by people...

We decided to go to our college and sit there... We went to our college canteen and ate our favourite “triangle wala dosa” with flavoured milk... We then decided to sit there for some time... Again we continued sharing about life and happenings and we realised it was 4.30pm...

We headed towards our favourite “Pastry shop” and ordered our favourite “Rum ball”... finished it and decided to take a round of “Kamla Nagar Market”... It was truly nostalgic... though it changed a lot in 7 years... I purchased “Anklets” for my Goa collection.... While leaving market we saw “Giani’s” and ate ice-cream...

My friend said, “Main ja raha hun meethe samose khaane, tera kya plan hai” it was so like him... And I replied, “mera bhi yehi plan hai” and we started walking towards our destination.... We ate our “Meethe Samose” and it was 6pm...

We decided to leave for home.... So, we waved hands and took our respective metros...

I luckily got seat in metro and as usual I was lost in my thoughts... And realised I reached my destination...

I was a great day indeed... I was not carrying my camera so I clicked few pics from my fone which I am going to share... Each one with a story to tell....

Thank you God, once again for everything... Love you! Bless my people... :-)

The Presentation!

I am indeed ‘the chosen one’ by the almighty! :P

What a day it was...! 

Sometimes... it seems like God plans or actually crafts every day specially for me ;-)

After my MBA, this was the first time when I was involved so deeply and creatively in my PowerPoint presentation... Adding all cartoons, clip art, charts and what not to it... I really think I worked for it, not very hard though...

I was kinda excited... reached office on time and in morning itself heard an announcement that a new station head was going to join us from the very day... So, just 6 hours prior to my presentation we all gathered in a hall to welcome him... In his intro he said 'I somehow love presentations, so each one of you will be giving many ppts in coming time'

Inside my head, I was telling myself 'Deepika beta, aaj ka Mirchi murga is you' :P

I sensed either of things was going to happen.. Either they will postpone my presentation or I’ll be meeting our new station head as an audience.. :-P

Latter was true!

To add on to it, my boss asked me to add 7-8 more slides and edit certain things in my ppt... That editing took almost 4 hrs... :P

I was dying with hunger... And with all that hungry and nervous feeling... I realised it was 'the moment' I was waiting for... Clock was showing 5 and I forgot everything else... Cinderella moment it was... And I had to carry on!

5 senior people entered in meeting room... yes, of course, with our New station head.. I was feeling a bit nervous about the last minute edits...

Hiding all my nervousness behind a smile... I started with my presentation...  And believe me I never realised how I lasted there for more than an hour’s time.. I finished it and saw time it was 6.15pm...

Pheww... though it was not the best of what I could have presented but everyone was kinda content... And I was happy.. :-D

It was a rock star feel \m/

As if, I cleared some IIT exam :P

Dear God, thank you so much for saving me once again :D

Please be there with me... I love you... And take care of my people! :-) Muuaah :*

A Different Phase!

It's a comeback... 

Yes, It's a comeback of what I used to be when I ever started blogging!

I thought I’ll restart writing many times but somehow I lacked that courage inside... I lacked that confidence of putting my blog on public forum again.. And trust me, it took me long to gather myself and be here again... And now I am in a phase where I bother no more!

Life is all about facing your fears and reverting back to them with a hard punch on their nose. I learnt hard lessons of life in last two years... Though, I am sure we all learn something or the other everyday with everything we do... Today, I am at a point where I fear no more... Come what may...

When I tried to come back last time there were external elements who tried to stop me... because no matter what there will always be some people who will internally wish that you should not live...

But, let me tell you... you should live with even more enthusiasm... because you have more reasons to be happy... And some losers can’t rule your life... \m/

This time I am not here to run or hide, I am here to write & live in the best possible manner I can... To all those who wanna stop me... I just have to say.... “Go get a life for yourself”... actually, I would love to abuse them as well but I don’t wanna spoil my blog by doing so... ;-)

By the way, my Pearl’s  5^th birthday is coming very soon... So, I should be more active... :-)

Today is one important day... I have to give my first presentation in my new office and I am kinda stressed... let’s see... I am hoping for all well with my fingers crossed...

Last week, I turned 27, to be precise last Tuesday itself... But I am still not feeling mature :P

I believe it’s not about age, its about experiences which help in growing up... For me I am still a Disney lover... I watched more Disney movies in last month and cherished them with all my heart... And wished again with all my power that it should come true :-) I know... Silly me... hehe

I think I’ll now get ready for work... Will share many interesting things happened and happening in life... I never thought I’ll meet so many stars but I did... Life is simply good...

Thank  you God. I love you.. :-) Please take care of my people!
