You know what I Hate is being stopped on my way to work/shopping/home/pub by random people. If you ask me where the tube station is I will reply but what I don't want to hear from random people is that I need a free newspaper, that I need a haircut/makeover, that I look like a model, that I should give money to blah blah charity!
No I don't have thrity seconds to spare, and I am broke! I am my own charity and I know I look like a model so I don't need a makeover!
Next time I get stopped by a random stranger oh god! please let it be them offering me money or work!! Yes I would like that!! Else I am carrying a board around my neck saying "I am a broke student, I can't help you so move out of my way!!!"

Another Saturday night, yet another night in. It makes me wonder what happnened to the party animal in me? From Saturday nights infused with Jack Daniels, Cigarettes and Loud Music to Saturday nights in my PJs watching The OC chatting on MSN. What the hell happened? The transformation is a blur...

I hate having a Best Friend. I mean a best friend is scary. She can read your mind, so why should my best friends be any different?
All through my life I have avoided the word best friend, simply because it is so cliched. But as years go by, I have realised why every girl's life is incomplete without her best friend.
This blog of mine is dedicated to three of my closest friends. You know who you are :)
I have evolved from a nice bully, to the girly girl who loves pink. But even through the transformation process I have been wary of letting people know the real me. I tend not to let people know how I feel. More of a closed book; I usually shy away from confrontations.
Its over the past few months I have realised that I do talk non-stop, specially when surrounded by my best mates. Today was yet another day when the power of best friends was reassured. She knew what I was thinking, she knew how I felt. SO SO Spooky !! And I love her so much for that.
A couple of months back, I was having a conversation with a best friend, who I had almost lost. The "toilet conversation" eventually led me to believe that it is not that hard to let people in.
Yeah, sure people will bully you, people will take you for granted. People will even spread rumors about you. But a true best friend will stick with you throughout. A true best friend will drag you to classes, a true best friend will listen to your confessions. A true best friend is not a diamond she is a star. A star you will always hold close to your heart.
My best friend not only stands by me when I am stressing out about trivial things...the innumerable times she has told me she KNOWS I can do it...but also sits with you on a rickety bench in Harrow, rating boys! I have had the priviledge of having best friends, people who are so unlike me and yet understand me so well. People with whom I don't have to have a conversation for them to understand how I feel. People who are far away from me yet everytime we meet me she still bullies me into DOING THE RIGHT THING! I don't need to talk to my best friend everyday, yet everytime we meet, we start conversations as if we were never apart.
As a child I always had a problem writing the essay titled, MY BEST FRIEND. I think I have accomplished that mammoth of a task today, and thinking about it brings a smile on face.

PS: Love to Steeeeefan my Man, Zoop Zoop and Sonyum :)

gosh...almost a week since my last blog !!
Today, I was woken by the loud noise of the garbage truck. Groggy, I managed to switch on some music on my laptop and get myself a warm cuppa coffee. Listening to Michael Learns to Rock, I wished I was a kid again. I know you must be wondering what MLTR has to do with childhood...but it holds a special place in my heart. Since I am the youngest of the three siblings, I was often at the receiving end of my sister's music collection, which included songs like Can't touch this, Ice Ice Baby, Someday, Paint my love, Nothings gonna change my love for you, I'll be missing you, Last Christmas, Wake me up before you GO GO (this still makes me laugh!!), Father figure, Saturday Night and oh I could go on.
So instead of being a Disney baby, I was more a MTV (wild) child. Back in the days I didn't have a care in the world. Maths was the only thing that bothered me and besides that life was a smooth sail.
Children have it so easy. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to grow up so that people could take me seriously. Well not much has changed since then, I still want people to take me seriously with the exception that now I want to be a kid again. As a child, my parents would always tell me how I have it easy, and I would retort by saying that I want to be an adult so that people understand me. I wish I could go back in my past and tell Mini Me, that I don't have to look forward to becoming an adult because people would still not take me seriously!
I have no regrets, I really don't. I have done loads of things which I know I shouldn't...but hey what would life be without a little excitement? And you do learn from your mistakes. I have had quite a roller coaster of a life so far, and yes, people still treat me like a child and I am still not understood. Added to the miseries is that noone takes me seriously ! Ahhh...the turmoils of an adult life, which a child is prevented from.
If I could, I would go back in the past, just to have a satisfied year full of smiles and no worries. If I could, I would go back in the past, and tell Mini Me, she has the best the world could offer. If I could, I would go back in the past, and enjoy a long breath of carefree being. If I could I would go back in the past, and believe in the words uttered by my parents, "You have it easy because you are still young, make the most of it."
