An ode to 2014

Cheers to the year that changed my life.  An extremely sick me, welcomed 2014 with a feeling that it would be one of the best cos it can't get any worse than witnessing jaundice positive results on new years eve, well it did get better wayy better than better. Time flew by, the year gave me new experiences, from bungee jumping in Rishikesh, to skiing in Gulmarg,  watching the Taj Mahal in full moon light, treks in Himalayas and quality time with friends and family.

A year that fulfilled my dream of getting in to NYU, experienced New York City like a NewYorker with my soulsister Parry, it was more than what I could have asked for, an amazing job, a bunch of accidental friends who are, as crazy as I am. #BlessingsInDisguise Visiting family and traveling where my heart led me.

Behold Bibbity Babbity Boom Bang, I met the love of my life. It's an interesting story, and I wish to do it justice by retelling it some other time with full focus. He is more than what defines a soulmate, I knew when I met him, he'd be the one I am going to spend the rest of my life with. With the nicest new family, a man who loves me more than me, I am all set to experience the world famous very well renowned 'marital bliss'.

A year that led me to call myself a nomad ending with giving me the most stable thing in my life with a life-long commitment to love and be loved by someone so special. A year that led me to believe that miracles do happen. A year that proved, no matter who you are or where you are or what you have, you are a part of the bigger picture directed by Mr. Destiny. A year that ended so differently and yet so amazing, a way I never thought it would and now I couldn't have asked for anything else or anything more.

Thank You everyone for being a part of my life in this year and further amazing years down the line.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and the happiest years to come, let's welcome 2015 with our arms wide open and hearts filled with love. 

A heartfelt birthday wish!

Thank You Nikhil Sood. You are a great buddy. I am rendered speechless. It really got me smiling and crying at the same time.

It's after a long-long time,(A)
That I am writing a Rhyme.(A)
So if this one's coated with slime,(A)
Please remember "Trying is no crime".(A)

We first met in our first year,(B)
It was the interview for "The Literary Club".(C)
I was feeling that I am stuck among a band of queers,(B)
Suddenly I noticed that it was a flub.(C)
There came a "healthy" girl who was quite loud,(D)
There were people around her and she seemed quite proud.(D)
She was dressed properly something I never thought I'll find in that state,
When she started speaking, her accent was simply amazing mate!
Only two people were selected in the club, and yes it was both of us,
The first thing I noticed about her was that she could cuss :P
Freshers in college are full of ego , but she had none,
We interacted and she understood every single pun!!
Impressed I was with this girl to the core,
She was so different than everyone in a place so bore.
She was lively, cheerful, blunt, honest and a girl so carefree,
All her immense qualities were for everyone to see.
Second year came and Literary Club almost disbanded,
So I didn't have a "social intercourse" with the girl so candid.
Then came the Jaipur trip, and I saw a sulking face,
A face I was so used to see filled with "Mother of Grace!"
I did everything I had in my power to cheer her up,
Wait!! wait!! I didn't try hooking her up. (May be that would have worked :P)
As mature and sensible she was, she was back to her normal self,
She started shouting, screaming and laughing like a little elf.
When she's happy, you cannot help but smile,
She's among the most respected people in my memory file. :)
I cannot thank her enough for sharing with me the "Mukran Kaur",
My family now and in the future will get to hear her lores. :P


Parichita Gupta you're so different than everyone else I know and that's the only reason I like you :D.You're pure, gentle, humble and simple amazing. You are everything that a person can ask for in a friend.You're a good person, Pari :). The only reason you don't have a cake this time is because of Mukran kaur jisne dobara mukar jaana hai abhi!! Next time we meet, tera bill mujh par ;) Written de raha hoon. Saboot bhi hai tere paas :)
Happy B'day :)
May God give the very best of health ;)
