TO THE SONGS THAT GET YOU NOSTALGIAC

It was a strangely pleasant and cool day. After days of scorching sun, Gods had finally decided to do a favour to humans. Weather today felt like a kiss of summer without the fiery heat of noon. It was this breezy day with light drizzle that got me too tempted to take an off from my otherwise monotonous schedule to be there in the laps of nature.
Being a completely restless girl I always face a very hard time in blocking away the useless thoughts that keep invading my mimd without invitation. And so I had taken my earphones along and just something inside me told me to play the songs that I had listened to on a repeat mode to the point of oversaturation, some 4 years back.

Whoa!! Who knew these songs will get me transported instantaneously back to those times, to that place and to be with friends back then.

The fresh earthy smell emanating from grass unleashed a floodgate of forgotten memories. The wind today seemed to blow the fragrance of those times.
The birds, trees, drizzles all of it got my eyes visualising the scenes that took place back then. In flashes I saw 3 girls walking on the street with umbrella, the 3 girls sitting in the room gossiping and sipping coffee, the birthday scenes, our party scenes and not to forget those screwed-up scenes as well :p
The song being played got my hearing senses alive. To me not only Avril but also those 3 girls were singing or rather screaming to the point of damaging their tonsils. "Here's to never growing up" was just some kind of girl's anthem back then. Those 3 wasted girls are once again here with me singing and dancing to this favourite anthem of theirs.
My lips have also started loosing it by now being unable to hide that smile. The smile that these lips have smiled only 4 years back with those beautiful carefree girls. Yeah I realise it today how this smile exclusively belongs to them and nothing but their presence or live memories like these can bring it alive.
Oh my poor brain it's kind of under a dilemma having a hard time comprehending how the very same songs were heard with an entirely different meaning back then and how today these songs have started holding an entirely different perspective. My brain chooses to surrender and just take a back seat, relax, get itself a bucket full of popcorn and enjoy the dance of good old memories.

Time passes by and before we could realise a lot of things are left behind. All of us get busy with new schedule and life goes on regardlessly.
But today I have realised how healthy it could be to re-visit the past memories. It beats the loneliness inside you, gets you a healthier perspective, reminds you how valued you are and the best part keeps all the present stress and the toxic thoughts at bay even if for just a few moments. It kinda recharges you to deal with life with an entirely new zeal and new enthusiasm.
So next time you have a pleasant weather in your town do not feel guilty about cheating your work schedule for an hour. Get your earphones, be with Mother Nature and unleash selfishly. Trust me it is worth a try. :)

These are the two songs from my memory lane...what are yours?

THE ODD EVEN SCHEME IN DELHI IS HERE FOR GOOD

Image
The terrible air quality in India's capital has just become even worse so much so that the High Court has termed Delhi a "GAS CHAMBER". Delhi is today a reigning king of polluted cities in the world. Matters have worsened to the extent that there are only two options left : either die or take every possible step to curb air pollution and improve air quality at the earliest. In the light of such facts Arvind Kejriwal has come up with odd-even scheme.  The scheme, set to roll out from January 1 for 15 days, has been proposed to curb pollution in the national capital by restricting movement of private vehicles based on their registration numbers. According to this odd numbered cars will travel on odd days of month and even numbered cars will travel on even days of month. Although the rule has invited lot of criticism from every corner but the need of the hour cannot be ignored. Healthy environment is our right and our basic necessity for living. This schemes comes with its o...

Let it Go

Shine like the star, For the world is full of dark. Darkness of mind, Darkness of souls Amidst the darkness of lies, your strength this world will behold. Falling in love was like a magical fairy tale, But why wasn't I warned that it will get me into the darkest vale. It's the vale of tears, The vale of hopelessness The vale of shattered trust, And the vale of loneliness. Answer me Oh Lord,  What wrong did I ever do? For all the unadulterated love that I poured out, Why do I feel like the most broken soul in the crowd!! He answers with a sigh, Oh my sweet child, Only where there is life comes death, And that "life will be easy", who ever promised you that? Sure his abrupt exit and those unexplained lies hurt, But his purpose in your life has been completely served. This pain of rejection brings with it that wisdom, That will work to mould you into a pragmatic and stronger person. There are still lessons left to learn, Life shall continue finding its ways to teach them...

The Heart or the Brain???

It was just yesterday, When we made our "forever" promises. You are mine and I am yours, We repeated like our favourite song. When did u leave my hand, Or was it me who pulled it away. Cz here where I now stand, I bleed in the battle between my heart and brain. "What do u want" he asks, "Give me back my yesterday" I want to say but can't. I always was comfortable enough, any nonsense I could blurt, But now when it's our relationship at cost, I cant even tell you what hurts. This is not what I ever want  And I hate not having you around I want you to figure out when things changed, Know all that went wrong and promise me it wont happen again. My heart is full of such words it wants to convey, "Leave me alone today" is all what the brain says. Tonight my brain I let you win But tomorrow you will be the one trying to break from this clinch. Because my heart knows how to heal, But you will always stay like a slave to...
