Melodrama

So today, I woke up thinking how lucky I was to be home after what seemed like ages!
I was glad to snuggle to the smell of my own bed, have breakfast at my old seat and drink from my own mug. I walked large spaces in these broad interiors of my home. Home; what a lovely warmth ran through my veins as I said it. I of course have a doting mother, who saw how off color I was when I woke this morning (Thanks to the long drive we took yesterday), an annoying yet equally doting twin sister who just sat next to me watching her daily Hindi soap online.

The morning seemed a bit sickly yet thoroughly pleasing for me, sitting amidst the presence of my family.
The enters the evil villain. My baby brother who just won't quit from trying to make us more miserable. A total pain in the ass!

He has his phone confiscated thanks to his very uncomely behavior. Now out of boredom he finds new ways to annoy us. He flat out refuses to do his chores and just seems to pick on everybody else except for himself. I wouldn't say he's a bad boy, he is my baby brother and I love him immensely; but he is a massive pain in my ass...
He believes that we won't be here to take care of him, that we don't love him enough but it's rather the contrary. The boy is spoiled rotten by us. He gets everything he ever wishes for and in return all we ask that he respects us. Respect us as his elders; as people who love and care for him. But he seems to be completely oblivious to that context.

Anyway, I pray and hope he sees a light at the end of his tunnel.I wish him only to be a model son and learn respect for people who surround him

I know this is a super personal post, but I did need a vent to let out the frustration and disappointment I feel when I experience this every time I visit home after a long time.

It's all about Christmas!

Christmas is the merriest time of the year for me, and to be able to express that joy for me through my job, is the most amazing feeling!

Here is; the joy that I'd like to express...

Turns out a Christmas Song is the best way to introduce a Comedy Marathon 2014 on Zee Cafe.
Merry Christmas ya'll!

Pretty Little Liar "ME"

Though I might have shown major dislike about having to handle to show Pretty Little Liars at work, in truth I am a PLL fan. I know it's hypocritical of me, but then the fan of it is that, you are applauded more knowing that you disliked it and yet gave such exceptional result.

I know, I know...that's super sly of me ;)

Started out with the marathon Promo

Long Due...

I've started with Zee Cafe & Studio for more than a year now, I don't really know what took me so long to post something new about this job...(or maybe I'm just super lazy)

Anyway, now seems a fitting time to be posting something that been long overdue...

After all I didn't want the year to end without me posting something, and two, I really love my job, so posting absolutely nothing about it would be stupid ;)

Proud moment #1
Something I did in December 2013...A whole year  later but still seems like a fresh achievement :)

ENJOY!

RANDOM!

RANDOM!

Today, I thought to myself; what do I write about?
I was desperate to put down my thoughts, yet I wanted to avoid debating, retrospection or any other form of foolish or un thought topics.

Then I thought about writing about my day. The simple pleasures of life! Things that make me happy.

I've been reading Deepak Chopra's semi- fictional book on the life of Buddha.
The book is pretty enlightening, I thought that the whole concept if Buddhism refers to pure Spirituality. But I see now that it is much, much, much more than that!
The power of meditation and staying in - tune with your inner self and detaching yourself from all earthly possessions & desires. This is all easier said than done. And through this book I see that Buddha did the same. He attained enlightenment not only but sitting under a precious Sal tree always, he challenged Evil, he helped the poor, he meditated, he questioned the teaching of others who seemed to have found their Dharma. He pushed forward to learn more & from different people. And if I look to parallels with the life of Jesus, he too suffered temptations (three to be exact). Even he questioned God's plan for him & was approached with thoughts to turn back to his princely stature and live comfortably. But chose a path that seemed impossible & succeeded.
Well I might not know much after reading this book, but I know I want learn more .

Then this long weekend gave me the chance to escape Bombay's hustle & bustle to come to a rather laid back Pune. I love the weekend that I spend here being with my sister. She's an amazing life partner for me and though I may not say this often, she is literally my savior.
Like yesterday, I was travelling late at night to come to Pune. 'Buddha' the novel kept me engrossed for most of the time. And somehow I deferred  sleeping. But surprisingly, when I almost reached Pune I dozed of while reading the book, and only woke when I reached Shivajinagar which was further away from my sister's place (Aundh). I freaked out. Called her (she was asleep too, so she didn't call). And at 12:18am I was alone on a deserted road in the middle of Shivajinagar (no clue about the place or people) and the journey which would usually take her 30mins at normal speed, my sister clocked 15mns. And she was there to pick me up saving me the nerves (I said a whole mystery of our lady in the meantime).

Well so that's that! Pretty eventful start to the weekend. Plus I didn't fall asleep till 7:30am.

Distance & Love

How do you deal with separation?

There are a million people in this world that we wouldn't ever mind parting with but then there are those who you'd rather have close to you forever. a favorable distance doesn't count as  much of a pinch but what if that distance is amplified tenfold? How do you deal with that idea?

The cost of having someone go as far away from you as possible only to realize the distance seems to creep like a parasite; that at a certain point you lose all senses. You feel numb and desperate to have them back and in your arms.

Love can be a very selfish aspect in ones life. It''s liberating yet imprisoning. Yet it's a feel we all ache for, and when we get it we either reciprocate aggressively or just take it all in for granted. Having it taken away from you also leaves you barren and emotionless. The tragedy is really just bitter - sweet. There is no resolute way of getting it right. For every time your try to get it right...boom it just smacks you back in the face.

Okay so coming back to distance. Love and distance, are they even pals? Do they even have this innate understanding to combine and leave us happy? I think no!

Peyton in 'One Tree Hill' makes a very strong statement: People always leave.
Which yes, refers to people we love who always leave, so that's because we feel the pinch of distance & loss only towards those people we love.
Conflicting thoughts and ideas. I have my head wrapped around the answers to why, what & how.
And though I have these answers, it's always easier said than done.

Isn't it?
