The encounter

-

Your heart starts pounding (@ 200-240 and its audible to everyone around you); time stops (Stephen Hawking would agree!!); everything around you starts to blur (complete disorientation of your focal point); you can’t utter a single word (all you can say is ummm….ahhhh..soooo..)  and you sweat profusely (this is the time when you actually need a deo!). These are the typical symptoms of a sudden encounter with your Ex; whom you have been trying to avoid confrontation ever since you broke up.  

 The first thing you notice is the looks. If he/she looks like garbage; you feel like ‘Beowulf!!’- chest out, a calm smile on your face and a huge sense of achievement. You actually feel good that you are no longer together..the garbage look is an assurance to all the doubts and conflicts you had on your mind while breaking up; a feeling of buying a ‘Certified’ second hand car. The second case scenario is when the person has transfigured from Eddy Murphy to Will Smith or from ugly Betty to the actual Betty. You start hearing different voices in your head. ‘Do you mean to tell me that I was the one sucking the youth out of you when we were in a relationship?’; ‘I know your motives.. you will now date the hottest guy/girl and take revenge, won’t u?’; ‘Run, before he sees you!! You don’t want to look like someone from a DISTRICT, selected to participate in the hunger games. (Yes, before the makeover!!)’

If you are not able to relate to any of the symptoms mentioned above, chances are that you fall under the second category (People at 1st:2nd Category::9:1) The only symptom of the people in this category is ‘Being Normal’. When they bump into their ex, they might say something like ‘How are you? Are you still carrying your old number? We can chat in FB… haha…yes, u knw how much I like fbooking; remember how possessive you used to get when someone used to add me!!!’ All they do is have a normal chat; like normal people!!!! I bet, they must have been injected with something like ‘No grudge with Ex Vaccine’.

Out of billions of people, why is there a need to be nice and friendly with someone whom you have broken up? Breaking up means you’ve stopped loving the other person or found them incompatible. So, unless you are Buddha, why would you be happy/normal to meet  someone whom you don’t love or feel incompatible with? 

Are the people in the second category, doing the nicest things, absolutely normal opposed to the first category of people doing the crazy things?

OR

 Are the people in the first category, doing what most people do, actually normal compared to the people in the second category who are doing things which can be considered crazy in normal parlance?

True Love!

The other day, I invited some of my girlfriends for a night stay. As all young girls, all we did was talk, that too for hours. We talked about our job (which was all about a new hot girl in office and the threat that followed), life (that it sucked), food (about a new mobile app for calculating calories in foods), music and movies (who wore the worst dress at the oscars) and guys (which was about 90% of what we talked). After a few glasses of beer, we started talking about a vague topic - ‘love’. We struggled to get into a conclusion what love actually is.  After midnight, we finally agreed that ‘ love is something, the feeling of which is unexplainable and the lovers clueless '. As a 16 year old girl, love for me was a romantic flick like ‘You’ve got mail’ or ‘Preety Woman’ where two perfect individual meet, have their differences in the beginning which they sort out and eventually lead a perfect happy life. But now, I feel of having I lapse of judgment then. All these ro

When I look back at my life, there’s not a single moment that I would change. I don’t wanna jinx it by saying, but I am in love with my life.  Did I have a fairy tale story? –No. Was my life perfect?? -Indeed not. Like everyone else, I had my share of pain. I failed a number of times.  I failed to get through the medical college although my only persistent dream since childhood was to be a paediatrician (Short term dreams included marrying a Spanish Guy, being the next Jodie Foster after watching Silence of the lambs or being adopted by Bill and Melinda) To see my only dream get shattered was like being judged and told that ‘You are not good enough’.  It echoed in my ears for so long that sometimes it was hard to hear anything else.  I failed in my CA finals too (However, it’s worth mentioning that there’s a saying- If Jesus has never failed; he must try CA). I have failed in numerous assignments at work.  I have failed to meet the expectations of many people. There were times when

Life in 3D

 Life's a riddle. When we complete sorting out the troubles in life, we are struck with other new problems. On the other hand, when we lose hope and are ready to give up, life shows new opportunities and new hopes. It surely acts in a mysterious way. I happen to remember a quote from one of my favourite movies -The forrest Gump,'life's like a box of chocolates,you never know what you're gonna get', which is infact very true. May be this is what makes life worth living,worth fighting and worth surviving.        So, it's a mere waste of time if you are crying over life for not being as planned. Remember, Life has not promised to be any different than what it is now. May be its simply about living each day, each hour and each moment. So, what the hell!!  Make mistakes, laugh at it, life's not fair, accept it, fall down, rise again, face the fearful, fall in love, stand for yourself, be stupid, dance in the rain, make a fool out of yourself, cry your h
