The 5 types of people in my bus

1. The first and most common are those who fall under the “Sleeper class” category. These people enter their slumber land, the moment they get a seat and you wouldn’t deny if I say that they find utmost comfort ONLY when sleeping on YOUR shoulders!! I could forgive even this..but what about waking them when their stop comes? That is one Herculean task I tell you. It is quite envious to see a person sleeping so peacefully amidst the blaring horns, the barking drivers and these incessant + loud phone lovers.

2. These are the people who are suffering from a deadly disease called the “phone-o-mania”. One would always find these people having a phone stuck to their ear. I really wonder who pays their bills! But these people are easily better than the ones which have a Bluetooth headset clinging to their ears, a bunch of hair hiding this tiniest of equipments and fooling the silly ones like me sitting next to them. Happy to get a company for the 1 hour travel, people like me get carried away so easily and would probably be sitting and answering them for the never-intended questions. We most often stop only if we get a glare or two from the maniacs.
AND, stop sympathizing at us, even WE have friends. Just that they don’t feel like calling us when we are traveling by bus, for reasons unknown. Oh No please don’t mistake this for a self-consolation.

3. The “book-worms”. This is the most intelligent category or so they pose. These usually sport the geeky looks and would generally be avoided or feared by the usual, ordinary, so-so people. The curious-me always wants to ask them, “How do you read with SO much of concentration when the bus moves a little while it shakes!?! :O”
P.S. If you haven’t smiled a little for the last sentence, please read it again. If you still haven’t smiled, well that’s not my problem any more.

4. These people would always be lost in their own world. I could conveniently call them the “day-dreamers”.  This is the set which would either be looking out of the window smiling to themselves or would be blindly staring at something or even someone, usually with a long face. I don’t have much to tell about this category because they are the most un-interesting people of the bus. When I stare at them for too long, I usually end up feeling sorry for them for no reason at all.

5. “Silent-observers”. These are people who sit back and enjoy the whole journey looking at everyone around and thinking if this could make up the next post for their miserably-abandoned blog.

A love that knows no bounds..

‘She’, the world’s best mom is turning 45 today. This..is a small gift to her, an ode to the eternal love, a tribute to the tenderness, a salute to the strength, a thanks-giving to the patience and lots more that mere words can’t even attempt to explain.

Her magical touch that sets everything right, her mellow words that soothes every heart, her effortless encouragement whenever I feel lost and not to forget..those incessant advices that she keeps giving me now and then..I’ve always awed at all of this! If only there was a way to repay all that she has done to me!!

I sometimes feel that there can never be a better teacher than her..When I was 2, I fell every time I stood and she taught me how to walk. When I was 5, I cried for silly things and she taught me happiness. When I was 8, I lied to her and bunked school and she taught me honesty. When I was 14 I screamed at her for no fault of hers and she taught me patience. When I was 18, I spent all her money for my happiness and she taught me frugality. Now when I am 22, she teaches me life! And I know that, this is neither the end for her teaching nor the end for my learning.  

And yes we aren’t always sweet to each other. We fight like kids, we argue for stupid things, we yell at each other..yet we know, no one can love us any better.

She is the first person I came to know in this big world and ever since, I’ve cherished her and always will!!

A tickle to the kid in her, a big hi5 to the friend in her and a sweet kiss to the mother in her.

Happy b’day my dear mom..hope u have a long, healthy and happy life.

 Love u ma!

Gone are those days

There IS a reason behind the long break between the last post and this one. And frankly speaking it’s because I didn’t know what to write about. Now, while just sitting before my comp and reading some really interesting blogs, I got this sudden spree to write about ‘something’. Something that is a real come-back..but would it really be one? Well, who cares!

After pondering for more than 10 whole minutes, I decided to write about what has been happening in my life (Ah no! it IS NOT an auto biography. I would never do that!!)

And what has been happening in my life? -- Change! Like everyone says, it is change..the only constant in life.

I am hardly 22 and there have been so many changes. Changes that I couldn’t digest, changes that I badly needed and some changes that changed nothing at all.

I really wonder how it has all easily and rapidly changed from play school to school..from school to college and now, from college to the so-called professional life!Changing four different schools, moving from school to college, making new friends each time, adjusting to new environments, new teachers, new rules.. None of this affected me. Everything seemed so simple and easy.

But now! This ever-serious work place, this small team of ten people with a huge set of most contradicting ideas, THE manager (Well..I don’t feel like giving any adjectives there!!) , those special rules that are never said but should be followed and.. the most difficult maturity that I am still trying to gain. All of it is so difficult and makes me say “Gone are those beautiful days and Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up!”
