Just another Girl

She’s just another girl

Waiting for the sun to rise,

She’s lost in a crowd of millions,

But she knows she’ll find her way.

She’s dressed in her tattered jeans,

But dreams of a long, white gown,

Her hair is messy and all over the place

But she feels like a princess anyway.

Behind those black-rimmed glasses

Lie eyes that dream of palaces,

Concealing herself with an old, yellow book

She hopes to get noticed someday.

Her heart’s been broken and played with

But she doesn’t stop praying for love,

She cries herself to tears every night,

But with a smile, welcomes the day.

With a heart filled with wishes like a vast ocean

She wants to travel into a kingdom of her own,

Where there’s hope, love and warm sunshine;

Somewhere beautiful, somewhere far away.

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday, happy birthday,

Happy birthday to you! J

My baby turned a year fabulous on 16^th Feb! :D (apologies for the delay, its craaazy busy out here!)

It’s quite unbelievable that’s it’s been a year, a whole frikkin’ year since I started blogging! Agreed that my blog hasn’t really been buzzing with activity since the past few months, courtesy-my upcoming finals, but for me it was quite a special day. J And even though I haven’t been able to post as much as I wanted to, whatever little I wrote was appreciated by the ones who matter to me- my parents, my friends, my ma’am- and that’s what gives me the confidence to go on. J and as my blog completes its first year of existence, I want to make a promise, to myself and to whoever takes out time from their busy schedule to read my blog- I promise to write more and write better as soon as I get time to breathe properly, i.e, as soon as my exams get over. So, here’s to many more glorious birthdays and maaany more posts! Cheers! :D

Lots and lots of love,

Creative Insanity. <3

Santa is on his Way!

There are certain childhood memories that you carry in your heart forever, for me Christmas is one of them. Reading about it in all those wonderful, snowy fairy tales; sleeping with the hope that I’ll wake up to see plenty of gifts next to me bed (which still does come true, thanks to my parents substituting for Santa :D), peeping from the blanket to check if Santa is snooping around my room.. *sigh* such are my childish childhood memories. Years have passed, but the memories are as fresh as yesterday, and call it imbecile, but I still believe in all of it. Well, cut the ‘Santa distributing gifts’ part if you like, but I do believe that there is someone, a guardian angel, who takes the vow of shedding away all the pain from our lives, and makes us smile, even it’s for just one day. :) Perks of being a firm believer of Fairy Tales, I guess. :D

I love the festive smell in the air, people singing carols, sipping wine, eating cake- *smile* *smile* *smile*And since I am in my homeland at the moment, what’s better than spending this time of the year with your family? J So, my Christmas tree is ready and so is my Christmas hat; and I’m all set to go and get the cake :D So, without boring you all anymore, I wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas! J May Santa come to your doorstep riding on his sleigh, and bring along loads of gifts of happiness for this year and many more. :) Be happy, sing the Christmas carols and keep believing, ‘cause you never know when a big, chubby, white-bearded man might grant your heartfelt wishes! :D

Lots of Christmasy love,

It’s High Time, Let’s Wake Up.

The world might not have come to an end, but humanity vice it definitely has suffered a collapse. Needless to detail it out, we all know about the horrifying crime that has left the whole of India shocked to its wits. My favourite city, Delhi, was never really safe, but now it has officially registered itself as the most unsafe capital city in the world.

A girl, of a mere age of 23, who was travelling with her  friend on a late evening, took a bus, and was completely unaware of the savagery that was awaiting her.  She was raped constantly, brutally beaten up, and was thrown on the road, and not even a single being even bothered to cover up the girl while she was lying there destroyed, exposed and devastated. Then why are we blaming the government alone, when the common human being itself shows no sign of humanity? The government controls the public, yes; but isn’t the other way around true as well? If we leave our souls down the drain and flush away our compassionate side, then we have no right to throw the charges on anyone else. First change your own thinking, and then set out to change the world. Don’t advise your daughters to come back home early or cover up; instead, teach your sons to be a man, or human, at least. Stop the gender discrimination; stop the narrow-minded, stereotypic way of viewing everything. First cleanse your mind. Maybe then we can rinse the society of its dirt. 

FB posts, e-mails, forwards, nothing is really going to help. It will cause an outrage for maybe a week, but then it will all fizzle out. Before losing our faith in humanity, what needs to be done is restoring humanity itself; the seriousness of the situation needs to be understood, the monsters need to be punished for their heinous, barbaric and inhuman and unforgivable crime. Our entire nation should collectively raise its voice; so much so that those in power finally make the correct use of their position to bring justice to the ripe soul that’s breathing a vegetable life right now. And seven years of imprisonment for ruining a girl’s life forever? I mean, SERIOUSLY? Those beasts should be publicly beaten up, tortured and humiliated, just like they did to that innocent girl, and then be sent to prison and be tortured so badly that they beg for death. Even then it won’t bring justice, but at least maybe, maybe if next time any man even begins to brew such thoughts, he’ll stop at least for the sake of being punished if not for the sake of humanity.

Meanwhile, let’s remember her in our prayers, the girl for whom life will probably never be the same again, but who sure as hell is trying her best. Let’s pray she not only survives, but that God gives her the strength to live. She, like every girl in the world, has the right to be happy and live her life whichever way she wants. Let’s just pray she can do that. Amen. And in the meantime, let’s not lose faith, shall we?

Take care, you all.

PC- The Epiphany of Spontaneity. 

Rekindled

If tonight be the farewell of our love
Then let the time stand still,
Cease the night from melting away
Let me capture you forever within.

Let silence fill the void
And speak the unspoken promises
Let’s redefine passion
And allow inhibitions meet their nemesis.

Looking into your eyes,
They mirror the pain,
Trembling lips, soft and molten
They call out my name.

The contours of your face
Unbridled, let my soul ingrain,
Let the shrill delight of your laughter
Shatter me from corners to your domain.

Just before bidding goodbye
Beyond the myth of  right and wrong,
Let’s break the boundaries tonight
Before darkness sees the light of dawn.


Fire ablaze, glasses clinching,
Lets unite forever, before departing.
In another life, in a world far away,
I promise to be yours, I promise to stay.

Beyond Infinity

I want to live; want to watch my life unfold.
Till the birds are free, and the sky just as blue,
Till the sun glitters over the sea; till there’s no melancholy,
Till friendship means you and me,
Till every song is just about us, till my lips are locked with yours,
Till I love you even with the broken pieces,
Till you kiss my tears away,
Till you hold me in your arms, and we dance to the music.
I want to write; with my words into your heart.
From winter to the fall, I want to capture it all.
Let’s not miss a thing. Please promise to be mine.
We’ll work it through, I’ll promise if you do.
This is all complicated. Let’s untangle together?
Let’s sit by the valley and watch the river flow.
See the future that’s coming our way; bask in the joy of tomorrow.
Build our own little word and adorn it with dim-lit stars.
Let your smile brace my day, let our souls melt away the night.
Spare me a corner of your heart, that’s where I want to stay.
I’ll hold your hand, and we’ll walk through the bed of roses.
I’ll breathe to see in you my today, my whole life.
Tell me, baby, can we please try?
Try to make it through every day, and beyond infinity?
I’ll wait for your Yes, even if that means forever.
Cause if living means loving you every moment,
Then forever is too short a price to pay.

Somewhere near Paradise

Do you know what it’s like?

To visit a place that feels like home,

To see the water, blue and cold,

To listen to the music of the sea,

To sense the sand slip away from beneath your feet,

To just sit still and know that your heart is traveling places,

To not just live, but feel alive.

I do. Oh yes, I definitely do; all thanks to the best trip of my life till date- Thailand ’12. <3

Of course flying high above the land and getting to view almost the whole of Pattaya, getting plunged in the cold, tingly, deep blue water, witnessing the absolutely brilliant display of dance-drama-music, being spellbound by the fascinating creatures of the underwater world, being in awe of the vast variety of the Safari World, and falling in love with Thailand were the highlights of our trip; not to forget the never-ending shopping spree (:D), but what was even more amazing was the tremendous amount of quality time that I got to spend with my family. J Dad making us roll over with laughter, Mum doing the cute, little things she does, and Me capturing it all- every minute, every second. I didn’t want anything more. <3

I won’t brag about it all anymore, exceeeept, that, I FRIKKIN PARASAILED! :D :D And fed a tiger and saw sharks, and polar bears, and white tigers aaaand had the time of my life. J

So, here’s to one of the most beautiful places in the world-

Thailand, I love you <3

Lots of love,

Creative Insanity.
