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.

Just job things.

Okay I don't have a job, yet. But I am doing this online internship where I just got promoted to editorial intern, so now I have to edit other interns article and then ask them to work on these changes and then keep them in toe with the deadlines. Now, this is my first week on this job/internship and I have this intern who is already a day late for the deadline, and my boss is like- "Make her correct the article and ensure that she sends the article in the time limit" and I have already sent her a reminder email, what more can I do. Since this is an online deal I can't even call her or anything. How the hell can I make her do any thing, I am so worried, because I want to be promoted further and now I am messing up on the first week of my internship itself. Also I am in a dilemma as to what should I tell my boss, shall I tell her that I have sent her the suggestions and changes as well as the reminder, or shall I just wait for the intern to reply and then just give ...

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.

The Epiphany

"All I need is the air I breath and a place to rest my head" - Say all I need, One Republic. This line with a change i.e.- All I need is the air I breath and a good book sums up my condition pretty aptly. I know I need a lot more things to survive but here I'm not talking about surviving but about living. All I need to live is the air I breath that's the bare necessity everything else is just secondary. My bare necessities are not all material things, all I need to survive and live a happy and fruitful life in these next five years is - the air I breath and my resolve. My resolve to grow and to help others. Well why am I writing these things is because lately I got sidetracked and started wishing for things or rather people whom I did not need. And well in needing them I actually forgot what I really wanted, my purpose, my goal. I forgot why was I here, why was I doing law. But today is the day I realized what are my true priorities and this is a post to commemo...
