Gargi college Alumni meet

Trudging back the old paths of my alma mater, my college and my life – Gargi was one heck of an experience. It was the day of 7th Feb 2010 that would stay in my memory for a long time. Crossing the same roads again, going through the same lanes and corridors made my day. When I first walked in, it was a sense of total nostalgia. I so wanted to go to the rooms where we laughed n cried, played n talked, danced n sang. Of all my student life, I don’t think there’s a place that I’d miss more than those two years at Gargi. I would not say all three for obvious reasons. Anyways, we went to the college canteen, Nescafe, the ground, the stairs, the washrooms… it was so much fun. All the memories of the past days flashed right in front of my eyes and it was such a sight. The juice wale bhaiya who’d make special chocolate shakes with some ‘extra’ chocolate for us, the canteen samosas and chai that were our breakfast on the cold winter mornings, everything was just so special. We sat on the stairs in the ground and on the ground and had our lunch there and reminisced about all the moments that we spent there. I cherish those moments everyday for that was the place I found my best friends, my goal in life, and myself. I came to know who I was and what I wanted to be in life. Gargi taught me a lot about life and its moments. It taught me that there were ups and downs in life and they should both be handled with care and respect for oneself. It taught me that life gave you joys and sorrows and both should be cherished throughout the rest of your lives. Gargi made me what I am as I was nowhere close to what I am now before I came to Gargi. I’ll forever miss my days at Gargi.

You

Something I wrote in a facebook status message, started with just the first line and ended up like this.

There's a little pain in my heart,
a little thought in my mind..
do u really understand how i feel?
Do you really want to find?

Everytime i want to say something,
you got something to say too..
but why isnt anything related to me?
why doesn't anything I want come true?

,,,

The smile's gone,
The tears dried,
I had some day hoped,
I could make you mine..

Someone like you

There was a time
When you held me tight
and I knew
Everything would be all right.

There was a time
when you were just a phone call away
And my sorrows
would just fly away.

The time has changed
and you found somebody else
And all I do now is
Look for somebody for myself.

Who would give me the same love
The same care
But I know for sure
That someone like you isn't there.

The Parting Gift!

I've always wanted to move out. This doesnt mean I dont like my home or something, its just that I've always wanted to be on my own. Wanted to be free, make my decisions, live life my way, do things my way.

To add to that, I've wanted to get a Parting Gift.A gift that'd remind me of all the important people in my life who have been there with me through thick n thin, happiness n sorrow, love n loss. I'd want it to be a special gift, something which shows my importance in their lives and theirs in mine. A parting gift is never just a present, its a moment in a which a lifetime of memories are sealed.

I remember the time we gave a parting gift to one of our friends, that may have been a very special moment in her life as it was in ours. I want my parting gift moment to be the most special moment in my life yet. But life has its own take on what we want..

I'm not going anywhere. My dreams would not be fulfilled, my life would remain the same. There wont be any parting gift since I'm not parting. I'll be there where I have always been. Not that I do not like it here, but the excitement of going somewhere is always great. I wanted to experience that. To go out n spread my wings was what I wanted.

Let's hope I get to do that sometime...

And the hope against hope continues with yet another hopeless hope..

Men vs. Women

They are opposite poles. They are never gonna be similar to each other. Here's something I researched a lot on..

Starting with Men:
1. Men think- Guys seem to think more about everyday things than girls do. Its often said that girls think too much about their clothes or looks but many a times, that is only they think about. A guy would think about any and everything, starting from how he looks to how should he say something to what effect would that have on others. They are always deep in thought probably thinking what the next step would be. A lot of men I've met are always thinking and the expression has stuck on their face and looks like they are thinking even when they are not.

2. Men flaunt- These days, more then women, guys flaunt. They do not flaunt their clothes or something but they flaunt about their activities. They are quite vocal about what they do, what they've done and what they wanna do. This may be probably because they do not care about somebody thinking about the same.

3. Men are stupid- This is because men do not know what or how the girl sitting in front of them wants him to speak. They do not know what to say and what not to even after thinking about it so much. They may even be aware of this fact, but they never try to overcome this fault of theirs.

4. Men are chauvinists- This is a well-known fact that men always think that they are superior to women. These days, however, the chauvinism is at a different level. Now, men do not think they are superior but they believe that they can get away with anything while women can't.

5. Men may be chivalrous- Very few men I've met were chivalrous. That is probably because they do not think it to be right to be courteous to a lady as 'she's an equal'. This is where the contradiction comes. When they have to do something for a lady, the lady is supposed to be equal to them and when the girl has to do something, she cant coz she's meant to be meek.

6. Men are immature-Men do not ever know what to do. They tend to believe everything they do/say is right when its not so. Men think that they can do whatever they want to, say whatever they wish at the cost of looking stupid.

Coming to women now

1. Women are bitches- They love to bitch about any and every person they can lay their hands, no matter how the other person may be. They can bitch about their best friend, their boyfriends, their parents and their brothers n sisters. They just cant get enough of it. However, they also love to say that they never bitch. yeah right!!

2. Women are attention-seekers-Women love to be attended to. They cant stand someone ignoring them. They'd try all means to get into the picture, by getting themselves sick, crying, and doing what not. They just want all the attention and not just from the guys but also their girl friends.

3. Women are mature- Its a well known fact that women mature earlier than men do. They know what to speak and when to speak. They know how to behave at a majority of places.

4. Women love to gossip-This is different from bitching. They love to talk about everybody else's affairs, break ups, patch ups, flings, results et al. They can start gossiping even if they do not know the person whom they are gossiping with. They just need a place and person to do so.

5. Women are dumb-They would do all sorts sorts of stupid things, like deleting her boyfriends all scraps and messages when there's a fight. They take things too much to their hearts too soon. Some things may be too dear to them to do that but women like to FEEL everything they see, hear or are subjected to.

6. Women flaunt- Women flaunt their clothes and accessories. They dont have enough going in their head which they can flaunt. All they ever talk about are clothes and stuff so unimportant that men eventually stop taking notice.

* There are exceptions everywhere so if you don't agree to what I say, either you don't want to accept or you are the exception!! Enjoy!!

Nobody

Here's a little piece I wrote sometime back. No great words, just a simple poem I wrote when I was sad.

Nobody to talk to,
Nobody to care,
Nobody to say,
" I'm always there"

Nobody to wonder,
Nobody to ask,
Nobody to say,
"The friendship will last"

Nobody to smile,
Nobody to cheer,
Nobody to say,
"Wish you were here!"

-Shivani
