The Year End , Already ?


This year has already entered its last fortnight. It has gone by at the speed of lightning  , the time just flew by. I was trying to figure what I did this year. And surprisingly I did a lot , learnt a lot , gave up on a lot of things and tried on a lot more of new things and I don’t even remember half of the things . Here is a quick flashback of what I have been upto in 2011:

January : The first half of this month was vacation , perfect way to start a year :D . In the second half the second semester began. Pretty insignificant apart from the fact that I got into my first and only so-called relationship , which was  even more insignificant  than this month.

February: The EP!C idea came up in this lovely month . This is when Uncle V and I started working on the magazine. The month when I nearly stopped sleeping  . The best one because apart from EP!C , AIESEC too happened in February itself. Two things that changed my perspective on various things. This is when I learnt a lot if not the most.

March : The EP!C Magazine came up on 17 March , Uncle V’s birthday. It was a great beginning , can’t ever forget that day. The nervousness in the beginning of how the response would be for the magazine , the excitement , the overwhelming response. The celebration on the day was just amazing. Beautiful month. Somewhere in March also came my lowest point when I got my first semester results , something I want to forget forever.

April and May : Don’t remember much of it , usual college and exams I guess and the end of first year in college. Oh and I got my driving  license in April.

June : The summer of 2011 is the one I am never forgetting , the college training which was never taken seriously , the number of times we bunked college and had some crazy times. I watched every single movie with the gang  in June on the pretext of writing reviews for the magazine and then actually wrote the reviews. The drives to the neverland in the Jalopy began in June .

July : Vacations , did exactly what we did in June. Woke up late , slept late  , read a lot , wrote even more , typical holiday time.

August : The third semester began and I did not go to college much. Team Magik happened , my Organizing committee team for recruiting new people for the organisation (AIESEC) , I was Organizing Committee Vice president – Finance. It seemed difficult then but  now I miss being the part of the OC. Every day was new , eventful and exciting. There was a new beginning ,  new surprise , lesson every single day. There were times when we came back disappointed but then the team got back together the very next day to get into the battleground.

September : The OC ended somewhere in  the middle of September. The going at college got tough. It wasn’t the easiest semester , we had six subjects , all drove me crazy. A point when I started detesting college even more. EP!C suffered this month , for reasons I wont divulge into here.

October: Quite an eventful month , apart from handling the monstrous exams everything was amazing. Went for the Shimla trip at the end of this month and only the gang knows what happened before and after it . Although I think I did a lot of things I should not have but it was all worth risk. Sorry if I sound mysterious here.

November : Exams yet again , they just went by and I still fear what will be the outcome.

December: The first December that did not feel like December , its not cold at all apart from the slight chill in the evening and morning. Apart from that it has been quite explosive. The birthday in the first week , do you want to know more about it? The EP!C will be back this month after a long gap .Then rest of it has been happening too and here we are on 15th December ,2011 waiting for 2012 to come in and hoping the last fifteen days are just as awesome as the first 350 days have been.

Lost Stars


Here is a poem I and Swat just came up with. Few things that only holidays can make us do. Lets us know how you find it . And the poem is so not us but still have a look and let us  know what you think of this new avatar of the phoenix.

Lets stay up all night long
staring blankly at the stars
this cloudy night .
Lets just stay there all night long
just the two of us ;
you and me.
Before the sun rises
and the moon fades away
we will go a long way;
gazing at the stars
in the darkens that befalls us
and when the strom gets stronger
and the clouds thunder.
We will still be together
looking for stars
that we could never find.
In this dark night
we walk together,
holding hands,
looking each other in the eye
that is where we ultimately
find our stars.

Good friends , Good Books and a Sleepy Conscience , this is the ideal life.


Before I go on to explain what the title  is about I’d like to wish my grandfather a very happy birthday It is his 76th birthday today ,  right after mine.We always joke that he is a day younger than me .  He is one of the sweetest person I know and the coolest grandfather. He is the one who still spoils  me with the 5-stars and fruit n nuts . I love being called sweet girl by him. Its just so cute , he calls me that whenever I talk to him over the phone. In summers we used to go for long walks and have ice-cream sometimes.

When I was a kid he taught me math and got mad at me if i did my sums wrong. It was because of him I scored well in math at that time and secondly because I never wanted to disappoint him .I looked upto him for being the calm , composed person he is. He has the most logical thinking. I love him. Thank you for being there nanu.

And now coming back to the title , well actually that is my life I have good friends , I read books and I do have a conscience that is in a habit of waking up late and realizing things after a considerable delay in time and that is an ideal life :D .This is the quote on my t-shirt presented by friends on my birthday. This quote was at the front and EP!C Editor Saab at the back. Check out the pictures.

It was one of they coolest birthdays , all of them dropped in at 8 in the morning and got into my room when I had not even woken up and smashed an entire cake in my face and  hair and within a span of two minutes this is what I looked like :

They are absolutely crazy , they wrecked their brains to give me 19 gifts which included cheese , oreo , snickers and pepsi the few things I love eating , a diary to write in , pens because I never have them and some accessories. And the most special and the last one was the print version of EP!C magazine’s first issue . It was such a wonderful idea and I absolutely loved it . They made me wait for more than hour to get that edition printed. But it was worth the wait. Each gift had a small slip with its number and a small message , the magazine prints said “bas ab senti mat hona ” which is don’t get sentimental after seeing this . Which happened though.

Then after the lunch we went for a drive to the lake had some crazy fun there , we listened to some of our favorites songs  in uncle V’s car since my 19th century car’s stereo has stopped working and I have given up on it . On our way back I and uncle V raced and I won inspite of the fact I had my Jalopy ans she a much and newer model of Santro . It was the most amazing drive.

I wasn’t excited at all about this birthday but uncle V , ayg , AK , SS , TJ and th one who kept pretending she was in some random corner of Orissa made the birthday the most exciting and happening one . Thank you all . And I missed Swat to a great extent because she could not be there. Love you guys <3.

And now I am looking forward to the holidays my entire family is going to be together around Christmas , exciting times . I love absolutely lurrveee December. Holidays , birthdays , family and friends all of it make it perfect.

Turning Nineteen


I turn Nineteen tomorrow and for the first time I am not at all excited about my birthday , it seems like its going to be just any other day. No big deal. I am not exactly happy about the fact this will be my last teen year and I will be bidding an adieu to  my teenage . It is awesome being a teenager and I don’t want to grow up more. Please lord , please let me be eighteen all my life after this birthday.

Also to think of it what will I do with my blog’s name , I love teenage babbling but now but its my last teen year and I wonder if I can have the same blog name even when I hit twenty .

I  have had an amazing year and since I am nineteen now and I am supposed to be a little more responsible(whatever). But before anything  lets have a checklist of things I have done in my eighteenth year.

1)  Learnt something new : This year has taught me a lot , I did things I thought I would and could never do. It was a complete roller coaster ride. Being the finance in-charge for AIESEC recruitments , being the editor , being the sulky engineering student everything had a  new lesson for me.

2) Something remarkable : EP!C came up this year and there isn’t anything more remarkable than that. Don’t need to say anything more than this here.

3) Doing something crazy : There was something crazy about every single day , sometimes wild too. And things also got a little more than crazy sometimes but it was just fun. If life wasn’t this crazy I would go all insane.

I cherish every single moment of the year that has gone by and thank everyone who was part of it . And now the resolutions for this year :

1) Write a book : I want to finish one book before I turn twenty. I have some unfinished stories and its time to finish atleast one of them now.

2) Be a little less polite and courteous: Apparently people around me don’t like people (me specifically) being polite and courteous , they have an issue if I say sorry or thank you everytime. So for them I will try and stop doing it . Yes I am surrounded by insane people.

3) Take my engineering seriously now : Okay Joking .

4) Learn web designing : This has to be done in the next one month now. Its has to be on top of the list.

5) Be  a little more sorted : I need to be sorted about things around me and be clear about everything I want from life. Figure what are my priorities and focusing on them.

6) Read more : I haven’t been able to read much this year and hence this one . Read as much as possible.

Something very insignificant I did this year was dancing on stage , I don’t dance very well and never did it publicly until I had to do for a team task in one of the AIESEC forums and then another time few days back. I might have danced awfully but enjoyed every moment of  being up there and jiving.

Thanks a lot to the people who made the year most memorable and hoping the nineteenth is as crazy as eighteenth year hopefully more :D

strange land with you.

I will remember
you making fun of
my funny fair.

I will remember
studying with you
before the exam day.

laughing with you
for no reason.

I will remember
all those intense conversations
with you.

I will remember
having your shoulder to cry
whenever the need be.

I will remember
you getting mad at me
when I was wrong.

I will remember
you being happier
when I did something exceptional.

I will remember
you knowing that I had a crush on someone
without me telling you.

I will remember

I will remember
repeatedly listening to that
Bryan Adams track with you.

I will remember
you patiently listening to
all my problems.

And I will forever and always
remember being me
with you my friend .

Thank you to the lovely people in my life.
