rain drops keep falling on my head...

What is about rain??? And why do some people always complain?? I mean yes heavy rains in an underdeveloped city like calcutta has its inconvenience.. but come on...so does so many things. I feel rain has a beautiful way of bringing back memories... happy ones.. rain just makes it beautiful...the smell of  the Earth.. The way green leaves just come back to life... the way crows with their fluffed up feathers search for refuge on the balcony railings not realising they are still getting drenched in the rain.. colourful umbrella and paper boats on puddles.. Rain comes with the hope that no the world will not end in 2012..there will be more monsoons and more such days when u just want to remain cuddled up in your house and watch the rain drops knock against your window pane...yeah its obviously easy to say that when you are on the other side of the window.. ;)
But yeah its no use denying rains are beautiful..

The faces that tell..

Its funny how time just rushes by.. you don't even realise how all those birthday parties, those late night slumber parties, the laid back college life and the relationships gone sour turn you into an adult. You suddenly realise all the mistakes you have made and often become complacent..
Life is a funny story, you suddenly start seeing the truth about various people..random faces on the road have more stories in their lives than we can probably imagine. And we begin to realise this place is not as sweet and comfortable as we thought it to be. Tragedies, unhappiness and all the pangs of growing up suddenly hit you. You will not be 18 or 21 again, responsibilities start jutting out from nowhere and one day, we wake up to find that we have all grown up..The thing we wanted the most as kids has now come true but its just not as serene as we thought it would be.
Life is a funny story told in many chapters. Each having its own plot. The stories each person writes everyday in his own heart.
Ultimately, it upto us though how we want the story to go. So maybe I will believe what many great people said.. "Always see the positive." It just makes those unhappy chapters of your life lined with happiness.

Sea Calling...

The sea has a different way of calling out to me. Every time i feel low or am in a dire need of a vacation the sea comes to mind instantly. Yes, I love hills too. They are beautiful and so serene, but the sea is different. Its convenient, its pleasant and it talks to you in different languages at different times of the day.
The last time I went to the beach was on sultry June weekend. Everybody told me not to go as it was tremendously hot and humid. However we were greeted by the monsoons and the sea had never looked that beautiful before.
Yes, I love travelling. The mountains come alive with every ray of the run, but there is something very mysterious and adventurous about the sea.
I will always have that special feeling stacked up in my heart of the first time the waves come and kiss your toes on a sultry June evening while sea breeze sweeps through your hair. It is a feeling that will never be paralleled!!

A Narcissist called Nature..

Post-graduation is tough. It makes you toil. Literally. You don't have time for anything, well almost anything. The other day me and four other friends were going over a presentation on organisational behaviour that we were supposed to present in a few minutes. There was an empty classroom beside our own and we were utilizing that. A single window was kept open and bright red floral branches caught my eyes. Yes it was spring. A krishnachura tree. The special thing about this tree was it was unnaturally beautiful. It has different hues in different seasons....and spring just brings out the best in this tree..
We often don't have time to stand and stare...but nature just presses you to let your guard down and admire the beauty she produces. The window, the tree and its off-spring just reminded us that no matter how busy we are, the world keeps moving and it is upto you whether you want to stand and admire the beauty once in a while or live your life in a race..
