A LETTER TO LIFE!

Dear Life, You are a 4 letter word just like love, lust, hate loss, fate... (Okay! Not  my dialogue but taken from "4 more shots, please!"). You are exhausting at times and I just feel like giving up. You throw more tantrums than I have ever known possible (even more than my best friend, really). You slow down, you speed up, you take time and give time. Sometimes there is sunshine and other times there are storms. But I really wonder at the thought of how you are so fragile yet so beautiful!  So tragic yet so happy! How you can be completely two opposite thing yet have meaning! I guess that's your beauty! So I try to break it up a little, take risks, love a lot and try to find comfort in trying new things. But you are never the same. You are always changing, always keeping me guessing. So I try to live you to my absolute potential. To which I mostly fail! But you know as I say "JEEWAN CHE! JEEWAN MA BADHU THY" (It's life, and many things keep on  happening i...

When I saw Tamasha, I thought that Ved is who Bunny would have become had he not pursue his passion of travelling the world They're both characters so strongly associated with their passions, that they'd crumble if you take it away. We experience Bunny's journey as he dreams and liv...

In seek of a safe harbour

All of us experience two kinds of love in our lives. One where you are consumed by the other person, where you feel highs and lows like never before. And one where the love is smooth and subtle, you feel safe and calm and not like drowning. And both of them are equally important because that's when you realize who you truly are. Because the thing is all that passion is well and good until you are crying yourself to sleep every alternate night because you feel too much. It is good when you feel the most alive and happiest you have ever been but needy and desperate at the same time too. After all, who wants to always keep wondering if their love is reciprocated or not? Once upon a time, I believed that this is the kind of love I want. The one where I wouldn't ever want to stop loving, where I would wanted to be ruined forever. It seemed like a fairytale-kinda story. Boy meets girl, girl meets boy. They fall madly in love and even after years being apart, still love eac...
