Reality or illusion?




On a typical Saturday afternoon, lounging by a steaming cup of americano...I couldn't help but ponder over this old quote by the legendary Oscar Wilde, I came across a few days back.
Within its context, it implies that great poets pen about the dreams that they can’t live and the ones that manage to realize their magic are too engrossed living the illusion.There is no expression left, as expression and realization happen through action, rather than scribbling on a blank canvas.Beautiful moments lived in discretion and building magic in real is a form of art in itself.
The quote is a self-provoking analogy. As an avid analyzer of things, I can’t bring myself to pour out my beautiful moments to the paper. The recurring truth and the magic that I keep living is destined to be the truth of my reality and the zillions of stories or the truth that floods in my mind or keeps me awake all night are the memoirs I treasure close to my heart and these are the ones that would never see the daylight of life.The magical world...the beautiful stories are within me and are only for me.

Dear kid who deserves better :-)


Well well! boy! look at you! You are such a cutesy piece of mess. I am sure this is not how you penned the story of your life, I am sorry to say that the happily ever after Yash Raj's movies, the fairy tales, and the eternal love sagas are to be blamed for putting a pair of rose-tinted (or in some cases maybe diesel ) glasses on us. I know there are days when you feel empty and want to go back and live all those memories again, maybe dream of a future you had built up in your head. I know that when you close your eyes, everything - those little fights and those mistakes seem so insignificant before your love. I've been there too. But it gets better, trust me.This isn’t the end of your fabled love story. In fact, it’s a new chapter. 
In this big bad world where the reality of life slaps out your innocent dreams, take it as an alarm clock, a wake-up call that you’re better than what you are now, that you deserve someone better. Remind yourself that love happens not once, but several times - sometimes at the right swipe on a dating app, or openly fantasizing about that "petite" hot gal on your Instagram account or maybe while lecturing someone to improve their driving skills...(Raj would have eventually fallen for a real Senorita if Simran had not reciprocated his feelings)
you never know your soulmate might be sitting all dolled up (ladylike) hundreds of miles away sipping on champagnes at a fancy bar in Paris or maybe someone clumsily downing shots of vodka residing 5 blocks away :-P.
 Anyhow, the point is people leave. All the time. Remind yourself that your love for yourself exceeds anything that you have ever felt for anyone else.
I haven't walked in your shoes. Only you know whats running in that beautiful complicated mind of yours (all protected by your luscious hairs :-D). But I do want to tell you, any day you ring my number, I'll pick up on the first ring. And if you ever need to pour your heart out, abuse the world or plot a homicide, I'll help you :P. if you want to kick the bad year by its ass by gorging on gulab jamuns, I may not share them, but I can watch you engulf each.
It’s time to write a new story, one that you’ll be proud you flipped the page on and turned into something legendary. And this new year is the right time, baby. You have to believe that you deserve better. 
Happy new year babe! This year is the perfect time to rebuild yourself. Go out there and explore the world(you got 5 years to do so :-P). Do what makes your heart flutter.  Pick yourself back up again and believe me, the right one will come along and prove to you why she not only deserves a chapter in your book, she deserves to be the title.
Build new memories and then someday - maybe soon or long after, you'll fall in love again. And this time it will last.
wish you all the happiness, love, prosperity and success 
(yes, you deserve all of it)
 a happy new year and a happy new you :-)

Hugs and kicks
From 
Someone who believes that you are a great guy!

Unicorns are real


The younger-me never doubted the existence of miracles and magic. The idea of immersing yourself in an illusionary world where you get to be what your heart desires ,intrigued me.Everything from the chirping of birds, to the aroma of homemade oven bakes, to the twinkling of stars on a cold night, the warmth of hot molten chocolate, felt magical. The belief that the fairy Godmother can transform you into a little princess and relocate you magically into the woods filled with candy floss and unicorns, fades as soon you get caught up with putting out the proverbial fire and work around trying to switch from one frame of life to another...The existence of logic in life blurs our belief in magic...life is too short to be stuck in mundane duties and trivial worries...it doesnt hurt to step back, breathe some life to the inner child that wants to be let  loose and explore the world in rose tinted glasses....magic can be unlocked if you embrace it..accept it and cultivate it in you...there is no logical reasoning to the existence ,but the power of belief can unleash the magic in your life...you can be the Alice and wander in the woods or be the wonder woman of your life and bravely fight out the enemies...be present..be you..believe in the power of universe and sprinkle come magic confetti and strut like a princess on fire....and yes #unicornsarereal

The Taste of freedom



Ever wondered why the taste of freedom fades into oblivion the moment it is leased and bounded by rules? the constant need for approval from others and the fear of taking risks stifles you from within...
Fitting into the perfect puzzle of society ,acts like a washing machine that cleans u up...rinses u and wrings out each bit of originality and passion from you..
There is something really beautiful in being raw..uncouth and untamed.your untamed spirit keeps u awake in the darkest of the nights and alerts you of the myriad possibilities that the world has written for you.
Truth be told, following your untamed spirit means living for yourself, seeking the invigorating challenging experiences of life, its stepping out of the comfort zone and taking full responsibility of your life and striving to attain that last piece of freedom that you always desired to taste.
Your untamed spirit chases you to realize your deepest darkest desires,chases you to fight for your life and happiness, chases you to be the one that you want to be rather than sitting in a stagnant pond trying hard to fit in to the societal norms dictated by others
So,Let your spirits run wild, be untamed and alive and taste the sweetness(or bitterness) of freedom, passion and life.
