Little Things That Make Life Worth It.

Imma be a bit philosophical this time and pour some of me heart out.
Okay, so here it goes..
So, I'm always complaining about stuff that I don't have. I get jealous of people who've achieved something I haven't. I have a major inferiority complex. I don't like it when people get ahead of me.
That's a confession and perhaps this might be true for quite a lot of other people as well.

What's wrong is, I don't appreciate little precious things which make my life so perfect.
That smile of gratitude you get from people when you help them out.
The way you blush when someone you like looks at you and greets you.
The times of joy and laughter with your friends. When you get appreciated by your teachers over little things.
When you talk to that special friend of yours for long hours about every little detail about your life.
Much more.

Not that this is the first time I've had this thought risen in my mind. I always promise myself that NOW, I'm going to appreciate every single thing. NOW, I would change and strive towards optimism.
However, it's not that easy.
Well, I guess I'm just a bit of a pessimist in this case but I somewhat think A LOT about all the negative things that I encounter.
I ponder over them for long hours and in turn, it messes up my life.
All these intrusive thoughts further trigger off my obsessive compulsive disorder which makes it very hard for me.
Yeah, I have OCD. If I can't remember a name, an incident, a thought, ANYTHING.. I go paranoid and I HAVE to find out what it is else I shall go crazy.
I have been trying to control it for a long time and I'm getting better at it.
Except for this thing in which I HAVE to touch a switch four times, twice by each index finger.
You might find this funny but trust me, you don't wanna know how hard it is.

Getting back, I wish I could just for once stop thinking about all the things which shouldn't have been and instead, fathom all the wonderful things that have happened to me over all these years.

Today my friend, Mahima returned from China. I was by the staircase waiting for her eagerly.
She didn't arrive so I went to her class to check. She wasn't there either.
I turned back and I saw her pacing towards me and I reciprocated as well.
We met midway and gave each other a prodigious hug and glided in circles, still entwined, for a long time. We talked for hours after that. Later, I had watery eyes and you know what? I felt blithe.
Now THAT is what I'm talking about.
I want to cherish these memories. They make me so happy. So blissful.
Thinking over irrelevant stuff just ruins your mind and soul.

It's these little things that make you smile wide that matter the most and what are required the most for a paradisiac and consummate life. :')

L'été, c'est fini

Today is the last day of my vacations. Today is the last day of June.
I thought I should blog today since tomorrow, it'll be July. And also, because I wanted to recall all of my summer.

So, vacations kicked off May, '10. The foremost exciting event was my DELF exam. Now, many would think what excitement does an exam bring about. Well, first of all, it was at Alliance Francaise de Delhi, which is an awesome place.
Secondly, it's a really cool exam. If I get that diploma (which hopefully, I will), I'll be very happy and it's universally recognized so even the better.
And it was a chance to meet up with my pals. :)

Then, I started reading Harry Potter which, I'd say, was the BEST THING OF MY SUMMER 2010!Many'd think, "Hey! Why is he reading Potter NOW?" Well, even I don't know why I didn't read them earlier. I should've. I'd been a much wiser person then. However, better late than never.and I am sooo glad I read them because they make me fall right back into my childhood which I had started missing gravely ever since I touched 15.
Ah, J. K. Rowling is a Goddess. I am currently on Order of the Phoenix.
Each page, each letter is magical.
It's, as many would say, EPIC MODERN LITERATURE.
Oh, and the Deathly Hallows trailer that released yesterday made me cry.

Now, that brings me to June.
Well, June was VERY eventful.I went swimming with my friends. Oh, and the awesome photos. That's me in the Superb tee. :)
And there was this one evening when I went to this park near my place. Oh, that was one wonderful summer evening. I sat on the bench looking up the clear sky. Enjoying the hot summer evening. A breeze blowing. The leaves of the trees rustling. And a dog, whom I named Delilah came and sat next to me on the bench.

And then, I scored a goal in FIFA '09 from WAYY BEHIND the half line playing with Spain, player Puyol. That was a glorious moment for me. Truly.
And then there was the Castle season finale. Oh, the tears I had in the end. Waiting for it to return this fall. :)

Then came 20th of June. Best. Summer. Day. Swimming. Awesome photos. Loads of fun at Sanjeeta's.
And I stayed at her place till 10:30 which is so cool. And she and the rest of the girls had a sleepover. :)
Then there was the 25th, Arzoi's bday. Boy, never have I had so many pizzas altogether. May God bless Zoi. We also made some funny parodies of CID. xD
Then there was my sister's Roka, 27th June, which is a ceremony to make things official. So, now she can openly say she's getting married in November. :)

And that, brings me to Today. Last day of June.
Over my previous posts, you might have interpreted my obsession with summer.
Now that it's sort of over, I'd say I was not disappointed at all. Everything more or less lived up to my expectations tho it was not completely perfect for me. But hey, all my wishes can't come true. And we should always be careful for what we wish for! ;)

My summer was brilliant. It had it's ups and downs. But I think there were more of the ups than the downs. And I am fully contented and I'm looking forward to going back to school (though I've not really made good progress with my holiday homework, but I think I'm not alone).

My summer kind of wonderful. :-)

P.S. I found my brother from another mother =P
Kalra boy. Who thought the ex and the present could turn out to be such cool friends. ;)

P.P.S. I'm going to remember Mahima's crying when Pritish arrived from Canada for a long, long time. :P

Sigh. You learn so much everyday. ;)

L'été, c'est ici

Today was the laaaaasssssttt day of school before my summer vacations! And boy, what a brilliant day it was!
The month of April & May had their great moments. It surprises me how wonderful my life has been lately. :-) I've been enjoying loads with my friends.. Each day is unique, each day is better than the former.
I am loving 10th grade more than anything! :)So, today was the last day hence obviously everybody was freakin' out and going crazy.
So was I.

Among the really cool stuff I did was:
1. Participate in an Inter-House Choreography Contest in which I'd gotten a very minor role of depicting the stock market. I had these weird hand wavy movements to show the fluctuation of the market. I thought nobody'd really notice me but that step of mine is VERY famous now.
It's The Chugh Wave. ;)

2. Sang the retarded milk booth guy rap with a couple of my friends in 3 distinct classes.
Look, the retarded milk booth guy is this guy in my neighborhood who sells milk in a milk booth.
And he's retarded and he speaks funny.
and me and Lakshya, my neighbour, have been publicizing and exploiting his vocal abilities all around school. I think there's a Facebook group coming up for it soon, too.

3. Created a new song along with it's cheap moves. It's called Chandi Chudail and it's really funny once you see me dancing on it with Nakul. Oh, lord. When shall I grow up?

4. Lost my mind in almost EVERY French class. I think there's some wandering soul who lives in the closet in La Salle Francaise which gets inside me each time I come for me class. I just go on a frenzy.

5. Brought Pasta to school almost EVERYDAY. Oh, mother, how I dote on thee.

6. Was Hyper-Active almost ALL THE TIME.
Look, young people..err.. I tend to become awfully hyper when I'm happy. And April & May (till now) have had absolutely NO sad moments which means I've been content the whole time which is directly proportional to my hyper super energy rush index.

And well, that's about it. It's been a really delightful summer till now. And now, with the vacations up, I am really excited. I've got some really cool stuff planned out and I just hope everything goes according to plan.
x-----x

Anyway, apart from all that. I had my Summer Batch Party. And boy, it was one hell 'va party!

We danced, we sang, we jumped, we took a lot of pictures, we drank mocks.. and the best part - THE CHICKEN LOLLIPOPS!
Oh, man. They were heavenly. I crave for more till date.
So, that's it till now.
But Summer's just arrived and A LOT of stuff is supposed to happen.
And I just read what I wrote above and I realized, "Boy, what a happy kid I am"
And that makes me feel even more wonderful.
Isn't that how we're all supposed to be?

A Happy And Peaceful World.
Amen.

Entertaining Monotony.

Now that I'm in the 10th grade, that means I'm horribly busy. (Not really, I just like to think of myself as a busy person).
There isn't really much work to do since or perhaps I feel so because I'm already used to the horrifying work stress which came to me as a surprise last year.
And luckily, Physics & Chemistry this year is pretty easy and so is Maths. *Thank you, Lord*
So I'm expecting a good year! :-)
Anyway, my life has been very monotonous the past week. School is THE SAME everyday. There is nothing different. It's kind of creepy how the same thing happens again and again EVERY. DAY.
And then when I'm back from school, the same ol' Maths & Science tuitions.

And then, the real thing happens. ^.^
On the last day of my Spring break, I decided I shall start watching The OC right from the beginning this summer.
'Watching The O.C.' was a part of my, "Things To Do Before I Die" list. And so, to check it off, I have commenced. :) I watch around 3 episodes everyday.
And my, IT IS THE BEST SHOW EVER.
With emphasis on Best, please. :)
I have become addicted to this show. Presently, I am on the verge of starting with the 14th episode of the first season. I have four seasons to watch this summer and so I shall. I just can't let go of it.
I have become totally obsessed with it. It's better than every other show there was, there is or there might be. It has an excellent storyline. There is development in each character. There's GREAT music and a GREAT background score. It's just awesome which, btw, is an understatement.I love Ryan&Marissa and Seth&Summer. Well, of course every OC fan would say that. But I just wanted to mention it out here. :)


As I said, the music from The OC is fabulous. So, here's just a really nice song from one of the eps.

Besides from my aforementioned obsession and addiction, I've also been reading the Percy Jackson series. I'm currently on the third book - The Titan's Curse.
And like every other thing in my life right now, it is amazing as well. No doubt. Greek Mythology is fascinating.
Anyway, I've got History homework to do now.
"The Age of Industrialization" FTW.

Be safe.

Spring Awakening

Apparently, I had created this account way back in '07 when I was 12. However, me being a lame kid back then, didn't bother to ever touch this account ever again.

So, now that I'm not a lame kid anymore and pretty cool instead ;) , I'm gonna be a regular.

So, Spring break's gonna be over in just two more days. I shall be entering 10th grade which is a pretty big deal but I really don't feel any older. Just a bit annoyed over the fact that I'm growing up (well, yes. That tends to happen to everyone) but besides, great expectations will be held out of me by my parents and all. So, yeah. It's annoying.

Apart from that, these 20 days of Spring off from school have been absolutely great.
My final exams ended on the 9th of March, the same day all the parties started.
And my cousin from Germany was over so it was pretty cool. She taught me a bit of German (& Swedish). Ich bin ser gespannt -> I am very curious. Something I fortunately remember. :)

And over everything else, I had a lot of this spring.
I visited the Taj Mahal for the first time in my life. That was some sight. Here's a photo of the Taj Mahal and another one of me and my German cousin together somewhere in the complex. Yeah, I look a bit retard, can't help it.

And then, there was this other time when I went to watch a 3-D movie for the first time. Alice in Wonderland !! And it was absolutely awesome. Are you like me, did you peek out of your 3D glasses whilst watching a movie just to see the difference? Don't worry, we're all like that. :)

Then, there was another First time. I went to watch my first cricket match in a stadium. It was an IPL match between Delhi & Mumbai. The excitement and the energy you feel in the stadium is unexplainable. It's an experience each one should witness. Although Delhi lost, I didn't really mind because I had an experience I'll always remember. Thanks dad and thanks whoever gave us those free passes to the clubhouse seats! ;)
Here's a picture of me in the stadium. :)













Apart from that, I tried doing some random stuff like building a house out of Plaster of Paris, which was btw, very unsuccessful. And I regularly took my dogs out for a walk without a leash. I hate tying my dogs with a leash. Very unhumanitarian, I'd say.
And I started with the Percy Jackson books. They are absolutely awesome. The Lightning Thief was the best book I've ever read. I'm currently on the second book, Sea of Monsters. There are five parts and I'm hoping to complete them all before my summer vacations. I have to start with Harry Potter in summer.
Yep, 10th grade has that effect of people. You get all serious and studious and yet remain cool. :)

It was one of my best friend - Mahima's b'day yesterday. Her house is the cosiest place in the whole world. I wish I could stay longer or perhaps, spend the night there. However, that seems out of the question. She's a really nice person and we have this big history together which I don't like speaking about. I wasted one whole year not talking to her and Im just delighted to be back being great friends with her.
Here's a picture of me and Mahima together. :)



All in all, I had a wonderful spring with all the possible fun I could have. And now that Spring's almost over, I'm looking forward to a fantastic summer and a great new academic session.
Let the flames begin. :)
