Walking down the memory lane.

I have been staring at this empty typing box for 5 minutes before I actually started typing. Too much to be told, things that were never said before, bonds that no one understood, and an utter load of confusion. But alas, there are no regrets. Hope still keeps the day alive.

When I look back at the first post on this blog, I see what a long way I have come and how many changes took place, I am a completely different person now. In retrospect, I just grew up. Still growing up. Growing more aware of everything and the conscience has started to matter more than it ever did, till date. I am becoming good people, people! Time to change my blog link? I don't know that yet.

I met people who changed my life and molded me into the way I am today and I am thankful to each and every one of them. I am sorry for the things that should have been but did not turn out to be, and I am happy that what was meant to be happened in that moment. The sad part is that I don't know whether I would be able to love anyone the same way ever again. I don't know if I will be able to trust someone again.

But what if someone came along and made all that numbness and void go away?
The hope still remains.

55 Word Story - Theme - Café




15th July. It was his birthday. And this was their ritual. Every time they would end up at this coffee shop where they met on the day they started going out. A small kiss happened, and she walked to the restroom. Soon, he followed. Making out in the Café bathroom was their annual birthday ritual!

55 Word Story - Theme - Paper





This is my life. He wrote his feelings down on me, but I was too late before I reached her. A kid found me, folded me all over and launched me in the air. Oh! Sweet flight. I got lost again, only to find myself sailing and disintegrating as a boat in a muddy gutter.

55 Word Story - Theme - Job/Work




A beautiful morning, a clear blue sky, and this peaceful silence is pierced with the sunlight, revealing on ground the shadows of birds high up in the air. 

I notice a line of thin Stratus as I roll gently through the taxiway. 
Holding short of the runway, I think, 

“I have the best job ever”.

Interruption - Another Tag - 11 things - And I'm not complaining :D

Tagged by the lovely KofyKat from KofyKat and cannot wait to do this one. Basically all you've gotta do is put down 11 things about yourself and then answer 11 questions by the person who tagged you.
 So here I go:

1. I am addicted to cleaning my ears too often. Not a good thing. 
2. I am a complete Emotional Eater. I tend to resort to food when I am upset. Much like Po, the KungFu Panda.
3. I really wanna open up a small bakery someday!
4. I sometimes trust people too easily. Very gullible. Again, not a good thing.
5. Which is why I try to avoid conversation with people altogether! 
6. Getting my nails done myself has been the latest obsession.
7. I have watched the movie "Despicable Me" thrice in the last 2 days.
8. If I ever get to know that someone lied to me, then that pretty much seals the deal. I will never be able to view that person with the same respect ever again.
9. Even when I cook and bake so much, I think Chocolate is overrated.
10. I secretly collect bridal magazines.
11. You can never have too much Pani Puri.

Okay now time to answer the 11 questions!

1. Which is the one country you would love to visit and why?
London. I am surprised I've never been and I am dying to visit!

2. When you hear that a book is being made into a movie, what would you do, watch the movie first or read the book first (assuming you haven’t read the book)?
I am so not into reading! So almost always the movie!

3. how long have you been blogging? And what difference has it made in your life?
Over 3 years. And yes, it has been like a dear diary as well as a vocabulary enhancer :) Never too late to learn new words!

Blue. I am so blue when I am in a bad mood!!

5. How much of a product junkie are you?
Hardly. I am all about thrift shopping!

6. Sibling love. Love hate. or hate?
LOVE. Only love. Anyone who knows me would know. I love my brother to bits and vice versa :)

55 Word Story - Theme - Water




 




The road was empty, and she stood with tightly tied shoelaces and music in her ears. 
She began to run, away from everyone and everything.

Her earphones fell off. She didn’t bother. 

She stopped by a lake. 
The cold fluidity encompassed her as she splashed herself in the water. 

“This is what I really need.”

55 Word Story - Theme - Gods and Demons.




She walked in with an invisible Halo. And he sat with that mean, yet charmingly rugged poise. 
“But, this is not the right thing to do! God would punish us.” 
“Come on baby, just relax.” He said, sniffing another line of Cocaine.

Her innocent eyes met his demonic smile.  

He is now going through Rehab.

55 Word Story - Theme - Apples



The day he first saw her on webcam, from thousands of miles away, she was wearing a bright green dress. Her cheeks, though, were turning Red. 


“You look like a Green Apple!” he said. 

And there was no looking back. She still thinks of him every time she bakes an Apple Pie in her oven.

55 Word Story - Theme - Monsoon




The best part about Monsoons is that dull weather, a continuous shower, you sitting by the window and enjoying a hot Cuppa.  Just one phone call, and you’re up on the terrace, standing in the darkness, drenched, and the raindrops mask your tears effortlessly. He did it again. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Smirk.

55 Word Story - Theme - Language


It started with an awkward handshake. Table for two at a quaint coffee shop. I knew he was looking at me all along, but when I looked at him, he looked away blushingly. I couldn’t help but arrange and re-arrange my cutlery. Playing with my hair. Not a word spoken. Body Language at its best.

55 Word Story - Theme - Sexy

So I started doing this 55 word story started by @vivekisms on Twitter. Basically he comes up with a theme and everyone submits stories in 55 words or less. Yesterday's theme was Sexy. Here is my entry:

I run my hands all over you. I know that the messier I get, the better would be this climax. I apply some pressure. But I must have faith, I must have patience.  Your yeasty fragrance penetrates through all my senses, and makes me feel so Sexy. Oh my freshly baked loaf of homemade bread!
