Dream

What good is a dream,

One that doesn’t make you want to relish life a little more.

How priceless is that dream

One that you put bets on, constantly keeping score

How free is that dream

One that binds you in

How alive is that dream

One that has you wish never to wake up

No good is that dream

Over which you lose sleep, 

one that makes you feel insecure

For dreams are meant to give you hope

A second chance

A reality check

Of dreams and reality

And some in-between

Amidst truth and lies

True courage lies within

Believe in yourself

When nobody else will do

Look for good in gloom

eventually the universe will begin to believe in you too.

Redemption

take a step back and reflect on where you've come

revel in your conquests, then question some

are you happy with what you do

does it give you a good night's sleep

would you wake up with a heavy soul
or stand strong.. should your dreams fall apart
not finding your reflection in the eye that loved
can you piece together, once a broken heart

sorrow engulfs the place that holds peace

you made a deal with the devil

realizing too late its true form

yet never too late to redeem yourself

cause you're loved more than you'll ever know

even in your darkest times,
with you like your shadow

bestowing you with the gift of an unrequited love,
it's yours to embrace, to cherish, to hold

a new beginning
a wonderful blessing.. 

hoping tomorrow a change will show..

Faith

Have a bit faith in yourself little girl
& watch the universe fall at your feet
The world will seem a lot more positive
Once you get yourself to believe..

That nothing is impossible, unconquerable to you
When you've set your heart on it
Challenge the devil, give it your all
Go on, evolve. Be stupid. Stand tall.

Make promises that you can actually keep
succumb to your passion, feel each heartbeat
hold no grudges, don't keep score,
Be the one to love again
& then love yourself some more..

Travel Tales: Life Lessons YOU will learn from moving out/cities

It isn't as glamorous as it's shown in movies. The chances of that cute-boy-next-door or the 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' setup is as rare as spotting a live dinosaur.

You will never have it all figured out. You'll fail, you'll learn. Repeat

Fridge and freezer are two different things. Tea without milk tastes just as nice. and helpful cleaning fairies do not exist.

Have experiences, not regrets. Don't bum yourself out for anything that doesn't work out. In the larger scheme of things it always does. Treat yourself to some icecream and move on. 

Surprises aren't only for Birthdays. No matter how prepared you are, or however well you think you've read about the new place, there's always the curious case of the unexpected. 

You don't have to look for similar places like you loved in your old city - discover new favorites.  


Living alone is overrated. If being on your own is the reason to move out, think again. The internet has it exaggerated. 

“Turns out not where but who you’re with that really matters”. Dave Matthews. If you have good friends, any place will be fun. If you don't, it will never be. Make some. 

There are amazing people everywhere. and people are pretty much the same everywhere. You just have to find what makes it click. It takes a shockingly short amount of time to connect once you try.

Where am I?

I'm standing at a crossroad

where is that you ask?

It's where I shine, brushed against a rock

It's where I fall, only to rise higher up

It's in my head, one that is brimming with facts and myths

a kaleidoscope of ideas, thoughts and dreams

a place i think i'd like, a blurry vision, not much I can see

not sure where it'll go, convinced someday it'll form a complete sketch

just yet I have nowhere to be, lots many places to give a start

for now, this is where I’d like to be

It’s where I belong, from where I can believe.

Coz these are a few of my fav things....

STUFF THATS MAKING ME HAPPY RIGHT NOW....

Waking up to calls from fudgzy. Grumpy albeit therapeutic time with Oscar. Night out with peeps. Old monk uninterrupted. 24 hours of Banjaara on loop. Feeling the love. Midnight rendezvous with girls talking all things girls. Channeling the inner child by being silly with Battleship with Charla. Beating Sammy at UNO over icecream sundaes at Dinshaws. Return of the bear hug. Positive vibes from far and beyond. Failed experiments. Being satisfied that I know I tried. Believing there's a foolproof plan. What's app kisses. Knowing trip back home is only four days away.
