THE WAY SHE MAKES ME FEEL!!!

Yes,I had almost begun to believe it!!It was time the words 'miracle' and 'surprise' be taken out of the English dictionary,they had already gone out of my life.And yes,I wanted to talk urgently to Mr. God as miracles and wonders and stuff were apparently all his forte.It happened in his world,so either he showed me his world or he showed me some miracles!And Mr.God did respond,for he did bring in a miracle in this rather monotonous life of mine,which survives on such miracles as this one,oh wait,I think this one deserves capitals,because it was a MIRACLE!!!
Okay,rewind to two days back.FOC starts in SIMC in full swing and there's excitement and energy everywhere.A much needed break from regular academics I must say!And I am here in the auditorium,enjoying the processions of the fest.My phone renders the amazing 'Laser Dance' soundtrack from Ocean's 12 which is my ringtone as it shows,"Shikha calling".A smile appears on my face.Yeah,Shikha is my best friend!!My bestest friend actually!!You know,there are those people in your life who many a times go beyond being a mere friend and do something or say something that elevates them to an altogether different level.She is one of them!We go back quite some way back,and a rather interesting one at that!!I mean,it's not everyday that you find someone you bond with amazingly via a Facebook page,or through text messages and much,much later phone calls.You don't feel like you have known the person a long time before,being pleasantly amazed at the number of things you both have in common,how comfortable and frank and true you are while talking and you certainly don't come close emotionally when you have had mere glimpses of each other in your first meeting where you only exchange a hello,your name and your city and yes, that is the only meeting,if you can still call it that,between you both and you have no freaking clue what it is about to usher in ahead!So that's some background for you guys!Alright,so she calls and I utter the happy 'Hi' I always do to her which she reciprocates.We begin our talk and the central topic is this 'plan' she had made for someone on Valentines.She had promised me that if the plan was successful I would be the first person to know of it,and...her plan was successful!So the plan was gonna be out now!The girl's for sure got a guy in her life,that must have been her plan.Some proposal which easily must have been accepted considering Shikha's personality.As I am thinking of all this,she says,"Ah!Nothing much!Just that I am in SIMC,Lavale campus right now."WHAT???!!!Hows that for a plan!!!!I couldn't believe what I just heard!"Tu kaha hai?Mai canteen me hu",she continues.I only have patience enough to utter f**k in a disgracefully loud manner.I switched off the phone and ran outside towards the canteen.I had to see this!And see I did,Ms. Shikha Sharma herself stood in right in front of me with the awesomest smile on her face.I broadly smiled back,we hugged and I was overwhelmed!How?When?Really?A lot of questions were about to unleash themselves,which she did answer.Her college was gonna participate in FOC and so she came along with some friends of her, just to meet me!!And could the timing be any more perfect!!I am sans any work,she is too,it's a year,almost exactly a year since we first saw each other and....the venue!!It was the same where we first saw each other!!Yes,I forgot to mention that we first met a year ago,when I came here for my GE/PI and so had she,Later she didn't make it while I did.I always asked her to keep on rechecking her mail,there must be some scope that she has made it,come on!!But it wasn't meant to be.But today,today was sure as hell meant to be!!
Time after that just swayed and flowed!!As amazingly as it ever could!I introduced her to my friends,we walked all around the campus,reliving each moment a year back and revisiting the place we first met each other and of course,our long and endless conversations were not gonna go anywhere.There was nostalgia,a happy nostalgia!I still couldn't believe she was here!Who would call this only the second time we were meeting?It was like we had lived in the same campus all this time!The mess food,the studios,the helipad,the computer lab,the psychometric test,SO-6(our class) and the canteen,whoa,did I just go a whole year back??
But as all amazing things have to come to an end,she left the day after,not originally her plan but some unfortunate circumstances resulted in it.But this time,her departure was more proper considering the last time when we didn't bid each other farewell,I guess it was purposely intended so that it could be done properly this time!!Her departure,although saddening brought before it lots of optimism,energy and dollops of hope for me!!I was not thinking about her going,I was thinking about her coming like she did and what change it has brought in me,all in a matter of a day!!She left leaving me heartily content,happy up to the brim and charged up,100%!!So much that I literally walked back from the bus stop at Sangamwadi to the SB road stop in an hour,without breaking into a sweat!!!
Beat that!!

  Girl,you know you rock in every single way!!Well,this wouldn't really say it all but THANK YOU for the awe-bloody-some surprise you gave me!!Clearly,my happiness in the pic says it all!!

PLUS MINUS

Just read this article of a fellow friend of mine here.She is a rather good friend of mine and hence we do kind of look forward to reading what the other has to say through our blogs.So when I read this latest one where she talks about,as usual a  myriad number of things,there was one statement of hers that really caught my attention,that we gain so much and yet we don't retain what we came with.There are pluses and then there are minuses as well.

Reminded me of the subject I hate and dread the most,Mathematics!!As a child and even quite a grown up child at that,I used to often question my parents,peers and everyone else in the world as to what role will Maths play in our future,WHY do we need it.We are all going to be having nice jobs to do,life partners to search and love,shop,eat,enjoy and face some hard times as well.But in all this,how would the fact that sin theta/cos theta=tan theta help?Or the threads of dy/dx in differentiation make any difference?Would your to-be wife's parents ask you the formula of (a+b)2 or would you ask your wife to explain surds and indices?!The good 'ol days!!So full of innocence and ignorance were they!Little did I know that life,in it's everyday operation would have additions, subtractions, multiplications,divisions,probability,ratio and proportion and profit and loss in it!!All of a sudden my solid reasoning against the subject appear nonsensical!
Each of life's opportunities is a word problem,you attempting it is the operational procedure,if you are right,you 'profit',if you fail,you are at a 'loss'. The results you get are 'directly proportional' to your efforts.So is the case with matters of the heart.When you make a friend,your joy multiplies,when that friend abandons you for mysterious reasons,that joy is divided into small pieces.The 'probability' of being able to take yourself out of it depends on how you 'differentiate' between what you thought of that person and the reality.You either make 'progression'  or the 'graph' of your life will fall down.Everything rides on Maths man!!It's all about calculations,'constants' and 'variables' and solving the problems that come in front of you.
And so with life being dominated so widely by a subject I abhor,a consensus had to be reached.A truce had to be called.So I agreed to the superiority and the relevance of Maths in life and Maths in turn promised me fair and accurate results for every problem.We are not the best of friends,but we are getting to get used to each other's presence amiably.

THE MODERN HIMALAYAS

And....I am back here!!Here where I truly belong,here where I start from,here which made me and carved me,here where memories were created,here where the heart is,Yes,I am home!!!
It's amazing how I value every moment more than ever everytime I am here. Distance does make the heart grow fonder they said and they certainly knew what they meant!It feels so good to be back,even if for 3-4 days,that means all of 96 hours!!!Taking baby steps into an industry where every second,or for that matter,every 'frame' counts,that's certainly gigantic!And I can breathe the city,see every nook and corner and hear the voice of the city ever so clear!Old friends,old places,old times but fresh as ever memories!!Hell, has it been almost a year that I went away?!!Things are different but they are still the same.As they say,things only get better with time,so can I say about the city and also me!!I mean,I can claim to have experienced the 'duniya dekhi hai' wala thing a bit!Yes, it has been a time of constant learning and continues so!As a very brilliant professor of mine says,"Show,don't tell!",it will certainly show in the times to come!
Getting back,so I landed here at around the afternoon though I was supposed to in the early hours of the morning!!The travel agencies wallahs surely don't understand the words'Home is where the heart is' for they literally make you mad and impatient just to get a glance of that street you so direly want to see.But morning or afternoon,it hardly made a difference as I stepped into my eternal paradise!Ah, the fragnance,the clean and well set look, the inviting,the sense of belonging(I could almost hear the Swades music playing in the background!) and the tranquility!!Really,the beauty of somethiings lies in the fact that they never change!Yes,I wanted this,I lusted for this!!And I amglad I am indulging in it!!
It's like time has been put on slow motion,I feel like a saint,breathing(like actually breathing),enjoying the sound of silence and living in like the modern Himalayas!!Never have I been the same everytime I have left from here and yes,the legacy shalll continue!!Well,I do have some more to say but I don't know how to put it in words!!It's like that fan meeting his idol sort of thing!!Like if the very next instant, a Britney Spears appears in front of you!What would you say to her vaise??I know what I would,Hit me....uh baby....one more time!!!Hence as I helplessly get seduced by that cozy room in which I sit this instant,I bid a very good night and sweetest dreams to you(fantasy music plays)!!!
