The first rain of the year

Okay yesterday we had the first rain of the year. The rains started late in the  evening, in the morning the sky was clear and blue and the weather was beautiful and windy, the kind which makes you want to stand with your arms open and hope that the wind just takes you along with it .
So the rain was the perfect end to a perfect day. But the reason this rain was so special for me was because this was the first time I enjoyed the rain in the true sense of it or rather in a new way than usual. Back at home when it started raining I would sit on a comfortable bean bag in my balcony with something warm and read a favourite book, but yesterday and moreover today I experienced rain on a more personal level and I would say these were moments of divine discovery. Yesterday I was out with friends and today I went on a long walk with myself and I must say it was the later experience which I enjoyed more. Things which I have learnt about myself in these two days- I love long solitary walks in rain, I love the way ordinary, everyday things look so different and clean when they are wet cause of  raindrops,  I love the sound of raindrops falling on my umbrella, I love it when my umbrella collides with that of a random person when we are trying to pass through a small footpath and the apologetic and understanding smiles which we give each other after that, I love the feeling of satisfaction  which I get when I get in a sheltered place and close the umbrella behind me, I love it when I come back and wash the dirt off my feet and the feeling as if the rain has washed off all my sins and worries.
And most of all I love the way everything becomes more poetic and lyrical.

Restoring back faith in humanity one person at a time.

So what I was dreading finally happened, my friend and my crush finally got together. But as it turns out it is not that bad, I don't feel resentful or sad in fact I'm quite happy.  I have realized I didn't like him at all. I was just fascinated with him and that fascination got over as soon as I talked with him for some time. He is just as boring as everyone else. And on the top of that I'm really happy for her, I never knew I was such a good friend. See she had lived in Delhi for a very long time so as to cope up with the beasts there (yes that what they deserved to be called) she got into this shell, became something she was not. But with him she feels she is returning back to her old self. And she just seems so happy, I can't just simply resent her happiness and frankly I'm not that damaged(I still have faith in humanity), in fact I'm not damaged at all. My thick skin has protected me pretty well from the activities of these beasts. I feel people are c...

First fight with room mate

So it is generally accepted fact that it takes a lot to set me off, I mean people give examples of my patience, seriously they do, it is no exaggeration. But now enough is enough, so I had a fight with my room mate, well to be exact it was not really a fight, I shouted and she just walked out not that much exchange of words and stuff, but one gets the point it was a disagreement. So now there this kind of cold war kind of thing going on between us, where we are giving each other a cold shoulder, now I do know that I may have overreacted a bit but my initial reaction was completely justified. What is done is done, now it is time to move on, but the point of ego comes into play who is going to make the first contact, who is going to be the first one to bow down and talk? And frankly I don't mind being the first one at all.

An ode to workfree holidays

Holidays whether Christmas or Diwali or summer happened to be the favorite part of my year for obvious reasons no work,(although their were some projects but they were comparatively light and could be done in few hours) sleep as much as you want and no worries, and this was what I was expecting this break as well . I was looking forward to a long free holiday filled with baking, sleeping and binging on favorite foods and shows. After what the first semester end exams have put me though lord knows that I deserve this . As usual I had some work this holiday as well and I thought this would not require more than a few hours but as luck would have it I was wrong again. I just realized that searching for an internship is not an easy task no matter how good an internship I find there is a better one out their and its a game of probabilities the more application I send out the more chances I have of getting an internship . But this is just a starting, now I am busy writing samples for th...
