So.. I Watched Whiplash This Week.

Its a movie everyone needs to see. 

I'm not here to write a review, there are plenty of those online. These are just my thoughts after watching it.

I was in a daze for a very long time. The movie is intense, in a good way. Keeps you hooked throughout. 

It also got me thinking. I always envy people who have got it all figured out, you know? They know exactly what they want to do and where they want to be five years from now. 

I'm still figuring out things and I've been in this phase for way too long. Its not easy sometimes to NOT get bogged down by the pressure. Pressure not just from people around but myself. 

I love my Job, I love what I do. But do I wanna do that for the rest of my life? I'm not very sure. 

I feel you can't really move forward in life till you're sure of certain things atleast to an extent. And not being sure of what i want to do is making me stagnant. I don't want to get stuck in a rut, where i get too comfortable with my job and just stick to it for all my life because i don't really want to start all over.

I don't like being this confused. 

GET TO KNOW ME: A-Z

I found this blog post on Kendel's blog and i liked it so much. I thought what better way to re kindle my love for this place!


This should be fun :)

A. Attached or Single? 

Single and content.

B. Best Friend?

 Don't have one. I believe that word jinxes friendships. But I do have people that I so often look at and go "You are the bestest!"

C. Cake or Pie? 

Cake, hands down any day! And chocolate cake is always preferred - sun or rain.

D. Day of Choice? 

Friday. I never realized the importance of a Friday till I started working. Friday is something else, its almost Saturday. I don't think I'm even making sense anymore.

E. Essential Item? 

Phone. I'm very very dependent on it. Right from my morning alarm, to reminders throughout the day, to reading books on it. I do just about everything. I stopped wearing watches on a everyday basis too, because I have a phone. 

F. Favorited Color? 
Um. If I HAD TO pick one it'll probably be purple or black. I'm not attached to colors. You won't see me in just these colors or looking for them everywhere I go. They're nice. End of story.

G. Gummy Bears or Worms? 

Neither. Bleh.

H. Home town? 

Hyderabad. I was born here, did my schooling, graduation here. And now I'm working here too.

Damn! I need to get out o.o

I. Indulgence?  

Chocolate or while sauce pasta.

J. January or July?

The colder month. I love love love the cold and equally hate the heat. I don't mind the rains too :)

K. Kids? 

Yes! Love kids. 

L. Life is not complete without…? 

Love. Everybody needs to fall in love.

M. Memory you cherish? 

Okay, this is a tough one! Its so hard to pick one and write.. Well, this summer we had a tiny vacation to this lovely little place called Coorg, it was so beautiful. Its one place i would love to go back!

N. Numbers of brothers/sisters? 

One younger sister. She takes her role seriously and doesn't let a day go by without annoying me.

O. Oranges or Apples? 

Apples Apples! Oranges are Bleh. Nobody can hate an apple :)

P. Pet Peeves? 

 Dishonesty. I hate when people lie and are two faced. I think life would be so much easier, if only people were honest and real more often.

Q. Quotes?

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Its one of my favorite verses from the Bible.

R. Reasons to smile? 

Well, right now? Mom and dad are out of town for a week! Its do-what-you-want week.

S. Season of choice? 

Winter! Did I already tell how much I love the cold? If I ever move I may totally base a major part of my decision just by googling the weather!

T. Tea or Coffee? 

Both. But leaning a little towards tea. 

U. Unknown fact about me? 

I play the guitar. Not many people know about it :)

I'm more like a closet guitarist. Is that even a thing? I don't know! :D

V. Vegetable? 

Well, I hate beans and cabbage. Potato is my favorite vegetable, cauliflower comes pretty close too.

W. Worst habit? 

Procrastinating. I do tend to Postpone things a lot, i get some kinda kick out of doing everything in the last possible minute possible. I know its bad, and i've had times when its back fired badly, so yeah.. need to work on that.

X. X-Ray or Ultra-sound?

X- Ray. Never had an ultra sound before.

Y. Your favorite trip?

There was this one time where my whole big extended family decided we need to take a vacation. We went to this small town close to Bangalore. It was a one week thing, but we did so many crazy things! We went on a safari, chilled at a waterfall, went hiking and lived through a thunderstorm.

Z. Zodiac sign? 

I don't really take these seriously, but yeah - Sagittarius

Well, I hope you enjoyed reading that as much as i loved writing it.

Wild thoughts!

Hello blog world!

Yes, I'm back! :D

First things first! A very Happy New Year to you all! :)

Better late than never.

I'm sitting in my bus on the way home from work now.. Right now I'm physically exhausted, but my mind is more that making up for it.. Running at twice it's usual speed.. And just running wild.

So today was a usual day and I got into the bus and plugged my ear phones and sat tight in the most unnoticeable corner.. And I had a moment of truth (I swear I'm having too many of those these days) !

So yeah I was listening to a random song (I'm never gonna admit that it happened to be Taylor Swift!) and I thought, what if I got a chance to go back in time. What would I do?

Well for starters I would talk to myself.. You know, impart wisdom to 15-16 year old me.

Okay, new thought! (I told you my mind is running wild!) I lost interest. Lost interest in writing here.. And everything else that ever excited me.

Sometimes only when you lose somethings do you realize how much you have been taking it for granted.

I know I'm being real vague right now.. I will use more words when I'm ready.

I'm done mopping around though. The mourning phase has passed (I'd like to believe that at least.) This does not mean sun is shining brightly and I'm running off to party every night.. Its a slow walk back up.

But its.. Um.. Different? Yes.. Just you know, trudging along, dragging your feet.. Having all the time in the world to yourself.. Just starting afresh. Its pretty refreshing. As I type this, I picture myself in summer clothes, walking up on a fresh smelling, green mountain.. Feeling the grass under my bare feet. Too cheesy? I can't help it!

I know I'll get there. :)

Anyway to more happy things! Life is fun! I'm doing so many new things.. Meeting all these amazing people and honestly going places.

I have a feeling this year is gonna be good. Just a feeling in my bones :)

Until next time!

P.S: I think I just redefined "wild"! I feel so lame about the title right now!

One year and counting...

I imagined ill be wayy more excited than i am right now, while writing this post. Yes, its a year and 16 days since i made it here. Girl in the mirror, is a year old :)

Its a moment of pride that I lasted this long. But i feel nothing else right now, today. A month back when i was thinking of this day, it was overwhelming happiness and joy.. i was literally jumping around and pooping rainbows. Then what's changed you ask? Lot of things. Things I wanna talk about, but just cant find the right words to.

I'm grateful for my job. It keeps me busy and gets me tired everyday. Anyway, back to my world here. I know i'm not writing a lot anymore, its because things have been crazy recently in life. i'm scared to put it all out here in the open, makes me all vulnerable.. because the things happening are quite personal.

But ill be back soon. I know ill get up, dust myself and be ready to join the party here SOON. Its not THAT bad, really :)

As for the one year here, I'm still very grateful to the person who pushed me to take this step, this is my first blog and it will always be special. I am also thankful, for all the crazy people in my life who gave me a new reason to blog every week, and of course all you random readers, some of whom have even dropped me messages to say you can relate.. thank you, you are one of the reasons i keep coming back. And lastly, I thank my God, his grace has always been enough.


Until next time :)


Oh btw, Its Diwali night in my town, one of the brightest and loudest nights of the year :)

We slept together one last time.

Before all your perverted minds start racing, I'm talking bout my phone. 

So yes,  this post is to lock and store in my memory my journey with my (now) old phone. 

She was with me for two long years and it was fun.  She's watched me laugh hysterically and also sob like there is no tomorrow.

She's also been a silent punching bag and taken everything I've thrown at her without a word. 

She was beautiful, she was mine.

And I have no qualms in admitting I was so attached to her that I don't mind looking ridiculous about dedicating this post to her.

Her time in my life is over, and this is me letting her go.

Goodbye. You were a blessing, old phone.

P.s I miss your keypad already!

BIDDING GOODBYE (or not)!

As of  9th September:

As i look back at my teenage years, i'm overwhelmed with nothing more than gratitude. Those were the best years of my life, hands down.

The thrills and high's i've had, made life worth living and looking forward to. For years i went to sleep with a secure smile and woke up with one.

Change is big. Sometimes too big to comprehend.

Sometimes you hear a goodbye from people you least expect. And for reasons most ridiculous.

But life MUST go on.

The future looks bleak and thinking of it sends a cold shiver down my spine.

I tell myself.. One day at a time. One day at a time, and it won't be so bad.

Wanderlust!

I'm having a serious case of wanderlust, people! I want to need to travel! Its been soo long, the itch is just getting worse and making me so restless.

I keep thinking of the places i wanna go to, the sights i wanna see, the things i wanna experience, the people i can meet, the foooood ill get to eat. Its hopeless ya'll!
