365 days of blogging

Lying on my bed, three pillows high- two mine and one borrowed in the owner's absence.

Current thought : It’s been a year...

People came, people went. Some stayed on- they will leave tomorrow.

So many people were met. And I made a friend. Friend, he insisted and I let him be, though it stripped me off the innumerable possibilities that otherwise could have been speculated. I celebrated individual differences with him.

Traveled overseas.

Indulged in the illusion called love. Fool's paradise. But paradise still. Yes, fool too.

Met more people. Fled some more.

It's been one of the most happening years ever. It’s not as simple as classifying them as good and bad. The shades in between will put even a paint company to shame.

Cribbed, cried, sobbed, laughed and teased.

Read.

Found. Lost.

Hurt and hurt. Victim and Guilty.

Dabbled at poetry. Sinful pleasure.

Made a lot of sacrifices no one noticed. Stupidity.

Blogged. And blogged some more. It’s been a year.

For all the comments, criticisms and compliments- Thank you
For all the mails, calls, meetings and messages- Thank you
For inquisitive questions which I could have done without- Thank you

For all the people I wouldn’t have ever known otherwise- Thank you for stepping this way.

Death: Lol, never realized I'd say hello to death and live on!

Prashant: I think you should know that I do not take any(save 3!) of the pictures. They are the aftermath of extensive googling!

Arun: All of the above.

Ashish: What is reality? I realized last night on a late conversation that everyting we hold real, isn't. Maybe loneliness is for real. The rest, I wouldn't know for sure.

Prashant: Almost all my answers lie at google!

I think that every illusion that we hold is absolutely real for the time we hold it :)

love can even make grey refract - violet, blue, green, red.....
death is sordid.

but write. cause your writing has a style, has a passion, has a destination....

OAC (One among the crowd of course!): Destination- I sure hope that part comes true! More so now than ever before!
