Sometimes it's the little things......

.....that matter the most. This is a phrase we've all come across, be it in novels or lyrics to some love song. But never in my life did I try to ponder over it, was it sheer ignorance or was it lack of experience, I do not know.

Life's most beautiful moments don't always have to be grand. Most of them come in tiny packages. Insignificant things which sometimes leave you feeling funny inside, times when you're
smiling from side-to-side for no apparent reason.

Just as I was walking back home, I spotted this really adorable baby, on the opposite side of the street. Then again, all babies are adorable, but this one had twinkle in his eyes and let's not forget a very beautiful smile. He looked at me and smiled a smile I can never forget. And I don't know how he did it, but it felt like he injected some energy-producing hormone into me. The whole evening went by, with no excitement, but I was happy.

Walking alone and smiling, I bet the people who saw me thought I was a loon. Too lost in appreciating God's creations, it took me a while to register that my phone was ringing. A call from some random number, I answered nonetheless. It was a call from my friend from eighth grade! Back in eighth grade we used to be really good buddies, but something happened and she left the school. No phone calls, no emails, no messages- for two years, two long years of silence.
And then she calls when I'm least expecting her to! I could not believe it was her on the other side of the phone- still the bubbly lil girl from eighth grade. Woah! Life's sure unpredictable..

Later in the evening, a friend suggested that we should all go to this temple nearby. A Christian friend, might I add? So we, a group of four people- Sikh, Muslim, Christian and Hindu reached the temple. And something happened between us, we all just stood there silently and prayed. And we felt closer than before. And even though nothing was said between us, it was all very clear, that we all prayed for us to stay together, forever and ever....

Since the whole post revolves around the word 'little', I do not wish this post to be any longer.
All I'd say to sum it all up is, take time to realize all that we've been blessed with, appreciate His creations and most of all appreciate and cherish these little moments....for they are what matter the most...

Keep smiling :)!

Newbie blues...

First, let me brief you about the pre-eleventh grade days.

Woah! At long last, I could do all that I had planned to do after boards.

So, did I lose weight?- Nope (In fact, I gained a few kgs from eating out and sleeping lots)

So, did I learn something new?- Hell no, nothing at all. However, mum taught me the basics of driving a car. My first lesson involved, learning how to put the seat belt on. Whatever mum! On a serious note, I did learn about the functions of the clutch, brake and race. Being the curious kid I am, I asked "Ma, what if we press the race and brake together? " She warned me not to try that ever. Me: But, what if? Mum: BHAVNA!. End of discussion. I'm still wondering. If anyone of you has the answer to my question, please enlighten me!

So, did I watch any new movies?- Yup. I saw Meet the Spartans, Race and U, Me aur Hum. Loved them all !While, Meet the Spartans is an awesome spoof of 300 ( All respect for the movie, loved that one ), Race happens to be the only unpredictable Hindi movie I've seen. Enjoyed it. The third one had me in tears throughout. Beautiful story!

So, did I shop?- Oh yeah! From pretty ballerina shoes to adorable dresses. I bought myself some junk jewellery and a purse too! And not to mention, new glasses from FCUK. They cost mum about Rs.5000! Errmmmm.. So much for looking good!



However, the most satisfactory thing was that I got to spend time with most of my chummies!
Renewing ties with some great old friends was definitely the best thing. Love you all!



Now, about my first day in 11th grade..
Phew! It was one quirky day. My day kicked off with excruciating pain in my neck! I got up, regardless, dressed and left for school. On entering,I noticed some lists on the notice board for different sections. I went through all the lists, looking for my name... 1,2,3,4,5,6. Mummmyyy.

Dolts! How could they forget to put my name there?! So I searched for the teacher in charge, bugged her till she checked the records and gave me my section. Soo, after all that, I'm officially a Commerce student now. For those of you who are frowning now, it's just for you all that I took up this subject. Just to prove to all those people who consider Science students Gods and Commerce students freaks, that provided one works hard, a Commerce student can do equally well in life!

I need your blessings, grandma. I hope you're watching over your favourite brat, as she gets ready to travel yet another unbeaten path. Guide me,always. Leave me, never. I miss you so much.
