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...

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...

Need for validation

I have known it for quite some time that I have a very desperate need for validation and I can't tolerate criticism, there have been times when I have stopped talking to people or have manipulated public opinion to his determinant against a person who has dared to criticize me. I know I have a fault, I know that I am not really that good of an orator but I know one thing for sure that I have this friend to whom I have referred before as. " That annoying friend" and dude I know she is dumber than I am. I know it in my heart and my brain. She is just this extremely emotional creature who as acts like a child, is extremely uncompromising and a grave attention seeker. She is really slow can't understand criticism. But that is not what I am writing to you about, what really annoys me is that the fact that she does not work hard at all, she does not even complete her syllabus, does nothing, I know for a fact that she can't write or think crap and still ends up gettin...
