Feb 6teen

I'm out of the new hostel and been walking for the last 10 minutes. The first hours of my day, i wanted to spend with myself. I knew my friends are not going to let me do that so I had to escape for a while. I just wanted to relax, have a small journey of thoughts about what I have lived so far.
So I walked on till i reached the University playground. There was no one there at that time. The place was almost dark since there were no lights inside the ground. There was enough light to know what was under my feet. I kept my bag near the basketball court and began walking from one spot to another in the ground just talking with myself, looking at the shinning moon that i thought might help my friends in finding me as well and the few stars that i could see in the cloudy weather.
It was still 5 minutes to go. I saw their bikes going in the direction of my hostel. I knew they won't be able to spot me here. But I wanted them to wait for some more time. My first call came. Its Idiot (Niharika:best friend). I knew she'll call early. Then i could hear her planning to wish me together (whispering in excitement). She didn't like it that i had heard but I was not the one to be blamed. Then I got plenty of wishes in one go. Veronica had to woken up as far as I can guess. she must be sound asleep. Nitika, Shruti, Saloni, Shuchi, Navneet, Mehak.. all wish me. I can see other people calling me. Its all traffic time for a while. In meantime, my friends who are sitting in my room by now and bothering my room mate are getting impatient. Believe me, that would be the last thing I'd have wanted to do-annoy them. But I was enjoying it [am so wicked ;) ].
In between I am also getting messages wishing me a great day ahead. I really hope so. I'm now getting calls from them who are literally cursing me now. They wanted to know where am I? I finally told them where I was. They came, had a look around, and went back. They looked in the wrong directions. Their fault!
So I had to call them again in 5 minutes to tell them exactly where I was. And then they got hold of me. I had to run a few meters so that their grudge of keeping them to wait would lessen. Gaurav and Sachin were the ones who ran as if they're running a race. I haven't seen them run faster than that ever before. And with their relatively huge size, I wouldn't take chance with that kind of a momentum to knock me over so I had to run.
"The more you make us run, the harder you gonna get beaten up", Gaurav shouts at me.
"Stop!", adds Sachin. There were some sweet words that I'm missing here. They were too sweet ;)
I had flowers in my hands from idiot and sachin by now and two people holding me from my neck.


Soon after, I gave up. Phone calls were done. I had got 40 minutes for myself. That was enough.
The others also arrived by now. I could see their silhouettes from where I was standing and couldn't tell who all were there until all of them one by one greeted me with some sweet words (again) to make them run for me. Ankur, Nitin R, Varun, Soni, Mayank were there to give me The B'day treatment.
First thing I got was pastries on my face. They said the pastries were two days old from their hostel. YUKS!
I was all covered with it and some part of my jacket too. I was clicked enthusiastically in that beautiful cream. I didn't tasted it- was not meant to be. I tried my best that it shouldn't get into my mouth, nose or eyes. Then I was taken to my room directly and I saw the collage that had been made for me. It was from all of my friends. Even my school friend's wishes were written in it. Love you all for it ! :D
I went to wash my face. Later I got calls from Ishan and Adi who were taken care of by the others with more of sweet words. We prepared to go for 'paronthas' so we left on bikes. Had some interesting discussions there :p.


So far, it has been great. And am looking forward to the sunrise and the rest of the day.


By the way it's my birthday, if you still didn't get it!

Expectations

As of now, am in college. Being in a University, I get to meet a lot of people. Networking is something that exists here. And thats very obvious that one can have multiple groups that one works with, stays with and many more. You have those friends that are close to you with whom you share almost everything about your life and there are people with whom you are colleagues in a club or community. At every level, there's a different level of personal attention and differences in motives of being in that group.

You spend with your friends to take all your negativity out. They can say whatever they want. Its doesn't pinch you. While with the others, there's a limitation. They would stay out of your personal circle and even you'll try that they do. Too many people in the personal circle are not okay with any person.

But with all the people around you, you are bound with expectations. Living a free life is difficult here. Even though we are a free democratic country, people are bound. In our first stage of development that is school, we are bound by our parent's and teacher's expectations. Then as we move on onto our path, more of the people are added in the 'expectees' list of our life's people directory. As we move on to University/College, we begin to see that an entire nation expects from us. Most of us fail to cater to that extent, but still wherever we work, we get to know some more people who really expect from you and they'll pay you for fulfilling those expectations. Some pay for work and give bonus for fulfilling those expectations, some just get a certificate of Appreciation, and the rest a 'good work' compliment. Well, these are small magnitude emotions.

The most difficult ones are the personal ones. Because unfulfilled expectations in personal relations leads to some difficult complexities. One is unable to overcome such complexities because these keep budging your mind and don't let you come out of it. The result is never directly associated to expectations. So its hard to do the reverse algorithm for most people to know that this was the cause. We've seen increasing number of divorces, nucleated families, more liberal teens, change of friend's group to mention the few.

If you can overcome your expectations, see the other person as an individual and respect their individuality, there never would have been a requirement to get parted from loved ones and you can enjoy every moment with them all your life. Expectation is the sole reason that could throw them out of your life. Having expectations is natural, but when you love someone, you accept them. And when acceptance is there, there is no place for expectations. 

Morning Walk

I could finally get up and move out of the bed. I had sacrificed late night 'paronthas' so that i could wake up early. Anyway, i woke up by 7- not really early. But the sun had not come up. That meant I could still have some nice shots-yes I got up for photography. 
Last night it was raining so the weather would be really awesome in the morning, i had thought last night. But by the morning, the clouds had cleared away to give way for clear sky with which came fog. All my mindset had to change at the moment i saw fog. That was actually the first thing I noticed after waking up, walking barefoot out of the door. 


I thought it will be fun to have some winter shots. But even the fog was thinning now. So I hurried. Grabbed the camera and walked out. The University in the morning is one of the most beautiful of the places I have yet seen. In the day time, its ruined by heavy number of vehicles. So I could now stop anywhere in the road and click anything with no 'he's crazy' or 'what is so exclusive' that he's clicking looks. They can't see what I can and thats what amazes them in photographs clicked by others. So I was free!


But in the end I found my shots. Birds, dogs, frozen ice on flowers, dew drops shinning on benches and spider webs as the sun comes out. Everything was so refreshing that it still has a clear picture in my mind.


Now I must go get ready for college.

Beginning my b.l.o.g.

Tired of hearing blogging. What made it worse was that I was not yet doing it and I don't know how to make it look great. So I thought putting my first post would be the best thing I would do since the last three months I activated this blog. The main reason was that I was not satisfied with the Design and I still need to work on it. So a makeover in future will always be on the cards!


Now that I am hooked to the new trend, I feel like I'm doing something cool. It is not so cool, I know!
Bill Gates is cool. The person whose idea am using is cool. I couldn't find his name. Please do tell me if you know!


So here we are in a world full of softwares that help automate machines everywhere. They'll keep inventing until we reach the point where coffee will be made in a blink of an eye. (I like coffee so..)  But i must admit, I won't like to skip the pre beating of coffee in warm water with sugar or trying to get a nice filtered one with coffee powder.


So, I do have started off with my blog, but I've told myself not to get addicted.
I'm very notorious when it comes to me telling myself to behave!


So keep looking for more from me. 


Cheers to life !
