Live.Love.Laugh.

18th March 2011:
Birthday's are fun everyone says. I am never too excited about my Birthday, mostly because my birthday being in March used to coincide with the exams since 1st Std. But this was way different, my 18th B'day...turning a Major, getting the right to VOTE in the biggest democracy in the world.


Some unexpected people wish you...some expected people don't wish you...but wait....she just wished me...OMG...she wrote happy b'day on my facebook wall....we don't need anything more now....just a single "like" or a single "poke" can make a huge difference these days. Facebook plays a huge impact in our lives, doesn’t it? Whenever you get free time…just think for one minute…what would have happened if Facebook wasn’t there….feels horrible..trust me.

Thanks Zuckerberg! :P

Giving a serious thought to what I can ask for my birthday gift....it’s my 18th Birthday....the gift should be special....still thinking....asking a friend WHAT I can ask for....still thinking....HOW can this happen? Do I have everything? No no...wait....this can't be possible....if you get everything in life...how will you understand the value of NOT having something but still I haven't thought of a B'day gift...guess I am thankful to my family that they have given my everything as and when needed...and I turn sentimental and grateful.....but life is not only about having all the objects...gifts etc....it’s also about having all the people and relations you want....which is not possible all the time.

April Onwards:

Awkwardness...jealousy...insecurity...pain…frustration all are slowing creeping in my mind...and suddenly...AYE AYE AYE AYE.....I hear children shouting....oh wait...I am on a kids camp...and the bus has entered a tunnel...I join them enthusiastically. I love kids....they have TAUGHT me so much over the past 2 months. Being elder to them doesn't stop me from enjoying and shouting in the tunnels....playing trump cards with them...taking "dhai dudh bhat"....playing "soup macoroni"….just the smile on their faces is more than thousand words said.

I am happy with my current "summer" life...suddenly...I am singing "Give me some sunshine....give me some rain...give me another chance....I WANT TO GROW UP ONCE AGAIN."

Damn it...sometimes I don't want to grow up....school was BEST....things were SO perfect then....no cell phone....limited close and trusted friends....no break-up's and patch-up's.....no confusions and complications....no rejections....everything was BEST!!

But...imagine what would happen if we remain kids forever...we need change in life...life slowly becomes monotonous and I am somewhere glad that I am growing up...making new friends...meeting new people...learning new things.

My summer season continues...having fun with new kids after every 4-5 days...new jokes...new songs...new dances...new fun. To my amusement children of about 11-12 years come and ask me..."Dada...do you have a girl-friend??" ....I still remember I was way too innocent when I was their age...the kids are amused when I tell them that even I used to collect pokemon tazzos and watch cartoons when I was their age...

The transition from that innocent small Gaurav to a young adult Gaurav now seems very smooth...when I watch myself in the mirror, it makes me wonder whether I really want to go out in that competitive world out there, with dreams of becoming an entrepreneur...am I going to survive in the big bad world out there? But then..."Survival of the fittest" is nature's rule and this is NOT going to stop me from chasing my dreams

Why does it happen that when you least expected someone to leave you or a relation to go away it goes away. Be it any relation...many times it so happens that things don't go back to normal...but this just is a probability. Should I say something or no....It happens with everyone…at one point or another we get confused in life about many things….there is always a pendulum in our mind which swings from one thing to another doubting ourselves....only reason being we fear consequences of taking decisions.

Life = Risk


and people fail to understand this.

But the problem….Like I said is fear of consequences. People are too afraid to lose what is theirs. But like I said LIFE = RISK. If you keep on saying, "I won't do a particular thing for the reason...WHAT IF something goes wrong afterwards."

This policy of Prevention is better than Cure doesn't work when it comes to taking decisions in life…specially when it is relations and stuff, and I have seen people learnt it the hard way. So I believe that we shouldn't think TOO much and do what we feel is right at a particular moment and I have been following it since the last 2 months.

Have been trying to follow a simple thing:


LIVE.LOVE.LAUGH.


The LOVE thing….I guess…I should talk less about it….people keep on believing in “Prevention is better than Cure” and I have become A burnt child that dreads fire.”

Well....finally...have written something after 4 months and it feels bloody good. It took me almost 2 days to write this…have lost the touch I guess, Just hoping that the number of followers will reach 50. This time, I am not even telling people that please use the option to your right side and share it on Facebook. I am more than happy if this whole post just brought a smile on your face.


So...LIVE your life to the fullest...LOVE and be loved...LAUGH at all the things that don't matter.

P.S - If you are reading my blog for the 1st time...please do go through all other posts as well.
