You will never know.

How alive you are until the morning sun touches your face and you breathe without a hint of worry.

How amazing it is to climb a hill when you're stuck on escalators at the mall.

How easy it is to cook on gas unless you've cooked on a chulha.

How fulfilling it is to teach someone how to say "I miss my parents" in English.

How it's possible to make friends if you're just a little more accepting of everybody.

How much they have to say if you never shut up and listen.

How secure a tent feels unless you've built it yourself.

How beautiful the sunset looks if you just take some time out to see it.

How interesting football is until you actually get a chance to play.

How good burnt food tastes when YOU've cooked it.

How warm the bonfire feels under the beaming twilight and shining stars on a chilly night.

How it feels to dance your ass off to senseless Bhojpuri beats.

That one picture in which EVERYONE looks like a dumbass

How a goodnight's sleep feels unless you're REALLY tired.

:'-)




Enjoy the pictures!

Darling don't give me shit.

There's always that someone in your life who's gonna hang up on you when you're not even finished yelling at them.

Be mad at you for being mad at them

Ask you what you think their most annoying habit is and "subconsciously" do it all the time.

Make you feel inadequate and go out of your way JUST  to please them.

That one who'd make you cry your heart out and still be worth all of it.


And you know you'd still go back to them. Crawling. With that puppy face.Pretending they're flawless. Because for you, they are. And nobody else will get it. Nobody but you.

!

I love sunsets.
Maybe because when I actually see one. It's when I'm not running helter-skelter ,worrying  or stressed out.
It's when I've some time to me. And I've the time to stare. Watch the day end. Not regretting anything. Not having the fear of losing time. Not feeling helpless of not correcting the wrong that I've done.

It's when I can afford the sun to go down without being all crazy about losing a day.

Money is never free.

Everybody likes nice things.
And nice things are expensive.
That's where money comes in.


So when one of my friends asked me to work for a promotional ad event for money. I was game!
So we were three people.
Me and two other people who's identities I withhold to protect them. :-P


So we were just supposed to play surprised contestants who win stuff. Yes, Everything is rigged. Like the teleshopping people who undergo life-changing experiences when they buy an inflatable sofa or a sauna slim belt or height increasing shoe soles. :-\
It's like when you're little and you get to know Santa Claus is fake and you're deeply traumatised ,too oblivious to know that the world has more to offer.


We really thought the money is good as compared to what we were supposed to do.Plus you get to hang out in a mall. Plus a few perks that the company pays for.
And I thought I'm gonna earn some money really easy. Maybe buy some shoes I wanted.
And then reality struck.Nobody is stupid enough to give away money.If they're paying they will exploit you. Malls suck. The few perks were literally very 'few'. And Idk when I'll get the money. :-(


And in the end.
It wasn't worth it.
It was too fake for me to take.
They even told me I wasn't fake enough.
Which I'm not apologetic for. ^_^


But it did teach me the value of money.
That's it from 2011.
More life lessons next year.

Happy last day y'all. See you next year. :-)

THE THREE WISHES.

So, hypothetically, you stumble upon an old lamp and you rub it off expecting a Genie.

And to your delight, one pops up too.

Giving you the liberty of three wishes.

Three wishes only. (no loopholes of asking for more wishes or more genies OR more lamps with genies in it :-|)

What would you ask for?!

REALLY made me wonder.

I'm still working on my list.

Let me know yours :-)

Enlightenment.

Life is precious.
You would never really know exactly how precious.
Unless you lose it.
And after that.
What's the point of knowing? :)
