The st(r)ained mind

P.S: I am in a very bleh phase now and hence I apologize in advance for a crappy abstract post. But do go ahead and read it. 😉

There is not a soul around. None to share. None to laugh with. The only sound that reverberates in the solitary room is the sound of the fan going round and round, doing its boring job and keeping to itself. Somehow the memories have faded away. The people have drifted apart. The few who stayed are too busy to bother. I have always needed time with myself but now I doubt if there is too much time with myself and myself alone.

Everything seems bitter and then I console myself with shallow words. Episodes and episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S seem to be the only comfort and the much-needed distraction. Sleep comes and goes irrespective of time, as it pleases but it does not do its job. Meaningless dreams fill my sleep, me tossing and turning, doing anything but resting. The light is always on for the fear of getting lost in the dark loneliness otherwise. The idiot box stays on for most of the time though there is none to watch it. The people inside it seem to be more of a companion than the real ones. But being the virtual ones that they are, they stay for a while and then move on to mind their affairs. It seems like I have retracted myself in an innermost circle where none is there. The occasional visitors to the circle don’t seem to be doing a good job in providing me company.

I read, read and then read some more. Getting lost in a different world, as if somehow that will help me forget the world I am actually in. Sometimes I think that I am pathetic and sometimes I think I am recuperating. Sometimes I think the situation is hopeless but I know the hope has not yet died and that it never will. I know this will take some more time to pass on. I also know that I will survive one way or the other, because I am a survivor. Have always been one. I will have my highs and lows. I will even hit rock bottom. But I will never fail to try to get up from rock bottom and swim up.

The mist will lift. The light will come. Until then, I am not going to give up. I will have my share of things that will give my life a better turn. I just have to wait away the time.

Until later 🙂

P.S: I am off to home. Yay! Will be back in a week to stalk your blogs. Until then, please remember me, will ya?

Dream Chronicles

Dreams have always managed to astonish me. The way our subconscious concocts stuff spinning around things that we think about a lot, the stuff we worry about, the stuff we  wonder about. But beyond all these, the times our dreams turn out to be one of those stories which we have never thought about at any point of life or even imagined to happen. As for me, I have had a lot of such dreams. They come in all shades of colors. True incidents, Fantasies that I love, Worries that make my life a mess and so on. All of them put together and a fine grand cocktail appears out of it.

Most of us would have had one particular dream over and over again. It might have changed with various phases of our life. For me, up until college, it was a dream about me going to the exam, but not knowing any of the answers, panicking and when the exam time is almost over, all the answers swoosh into my head and I scribble frantically on my answer sheet, only to find the invigilator grabbing it from me because the time is up. I have wondered if that dream kept recurring maybe because that was my worst fear in my subconscious mind. But, I never knew for sure. I was a very fast writer and a pretty sincere kid until school and hence I never had to face this situation in life. Then why did this dream torment me? I have no idea. And it faded off during my college days.

Sometimes I have dreams which while I am dreaming would be of utmost clarity and I would be able to see every detail in my dream world, but once my alarm does it’s job and I wake up, all I would remember is that I had a dream and that it was very transparent in detail, but I would not be able to recollect what was it all about. Actually Spaceman Spiff’s dream post got me thinking about dreams. But unlike her, I have never had a pattern or regularity, for which the exam-waala dream is the only exception. My dreams just come and go as they please. If I am hell-bent on worrying about something, my dream will not necessarily be about that. The converse, when I am excited about something, the probability scale tilts towards the higher side, that I will dream about some random stuff than actually dreaming about my happiness.

Where does our subconscious get its inane ability to put incidents of different inks together to make a multi-colored story? Why do I dream about losing an ink pen when I do not even own one now? Why don’t I dream about making it to Bangalore, when that’s what I have thought about all day? I have often found Dumbledore’s famous quote, “For in dreams, we enter a world that is entirely our own. Let him swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud.” intriguing. And till date, I have not found a true explanation that will clear the mist around my dreams. Do you have any answers? Do you have dreams that you don’t have a clue about when you wake up?

Until later 🙂

Sophisticated celebration!

Haan, now that is out of my system, I am back to my sophistication (ahem.. ahem..) in thanking all the readers and fellow bloggers, without whose encouragement, I would not be thinking of writing more and more 🙂 Thank you People!

Until later 🙂

P.S: This is my first ever recognition on a public platform. So sorry for the drama 😉

2 songs and 1 photo

Hey all,

The last post of this challenge. I took a while to complete this and the monotony started getting on my nerves. Well, I blame it on the lack of time. Anyway, I am yet to write the discussion post at DOV too and should come up with some posts for my blog and DOV. But, Ms.Muse has just politely excused herself and taken a long vacation. Let us see if she returns to save me in good time.

Now over to the 2 songs that I love,

1. Tum se hi from Jab We Met

This song soothes me every time I hear it. It just strikes the right chord every time in my heart.

The second song should ideally be “I’ll be there for you-The Remambrandts”. But I decided to go beyond the obvious and choose,

2. Give me some sunshine from 3 idiots.

Each time I hear this song, I sing along from my heart. It’s not like I was not given opportunities, just that I didn’t use them well, those which came along. I have learnt to live with everything’s-for-the-best policy, but at times I feel that I have a strong urge to just set a few things right in the past and hence I would love another chance to grow up and if I am given another chance, I would do it right. Just right. Still, there’s no way anyone is gonna get another chance at life. All the If only’s and But’s stay until the very end. Regrets are not the way to solve problems and I know it 🙂 So, cheers!

Over to the one photo of myself, I am gonna disappoint you here. I am gonna put up the pic that I have as my profile pic for all my online accounts. So nothing new. It is just that this photo was clicked recently and I seem candidly happy in that. It’s been a while since I smiled like that 🙂 A candid smile. So, here I am:

Pheww!! The challenge is done 🙂 And by the way, how does my blog look? After a long time, I got the right theme, the right pics, the right widgets and the right colors. Most of all the right spark. Thanks to Sumitra for inspiring me to do this 🙂

Until later 🙂

P.S : Tried embedding the songs’ videos as such from youtube. For some strange reason, I am not able to control the height and width of them and so just listed them in words.

3 films

3 films.. How I wish I could list all the animation movies under one name.. Okay okay, don’t look at me that way. I am not gonna cheat. I will list only 3 films knowing fully well that the other films are going to be mad at me.

1. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

2. Tangled

3. Cutting Edge

There you go! I will end the post soon, else my fingers will succumb to their reflexes and add the other films that I love, to the list.

Until later 🙂

P.S: Watched Breaking Dawn and I would say the movie has done justice to the book, unlike Harry Potter movies.

P.P.S: I want to finish off the challenge soon and write something of a different genre. The monotony is getting to me. Just 2 more challenges to go!!
