Next AIM- To turn all the lemons into a tasty lemonade!

The time has come to introduce myself. I am the other half of this blog (the silent partner till now..) U can read the introduction about me( My other partner is too lazy to write an introduction for herself :P). Nyways I felt the need and urge to write and here I am in all my glory..  

As my summer hollidays are cumng to an end.. I luk back at the past 2 mnths and realize that working on sumthng that u enjy does fill u with a sense of worth, it gives u pleasure when u complete a task(even though at that time u may crib about why am I the only one doing all the work in a team) but the sense of accomplishment afterward makes u feel grt!!

Okay, I shudn't lead u on nymore.. I didn't do sumthng big yet(like clearing an entrance type big) but still it made me happy and my summer vacations worth it! It was a simple thing actually, I just designed a newsletter for an NGO, and now am working on another one.. The newsletter turned out pretty well, and ergo I am pretty pretty pleased with myself . For the first time I did sumthng useful ( Sum stpd people might disagree on how useful it was, but hey don't u dare spoil my aura :P) other than sitting at home, watching movies, reading buks in my vacations( though that was a gud pastime for the last 2 yrs but it's called 'pastime' for a reason).

I have so many things that I want to do now.. and also I regret the time wasted.. I cud have done so many things!! Like I really wanted to participate in a MUN..but alas! the idea to actually search for it came frm a close frnd( I will give her a nickname soon as she may be mentioned in my posts frequently) when she told me about a MUN happening yesterday. And now is my last year in college( Thank God! Take my advice- research before u enter the rat race of entrances after 12th! U wud hate to end up doing a subject u dislike for 4 yrs! ) and I want to have back the things I lost.. I lost the ability to study seriously ( I can blame it on - I hate the subjects, but nobody will listen to me professionally.. ) So instead of crying out and doing nthng, I think I will give it my all and then have no regrets.. I just lost the enthusiasm in studies, dnt knw how and why.. but the time to suck it up has come.. And I am happy to get the lost feeling back within me!! I feel energised, I feel pumped up! ( Never knew 1 mnth of dng sum 'work' wud change me :-l )  But yaa, I am ready to take on the WORLD!! ( and the shitty things it will give :)   And I promise not to get disheartened now.. As the most rehearsed saying goes.....IF u have the WILL, U will FIND A WAY....

Life larger than life

Was there anytime when you felt you were in your dream world, when you felt like living in a fairy tale; even if just for a moment..



I lived a fairy tale for a full 9 days duration; the beginning was not exactly a fairy tale sort minus the forest scenario!! and a point of difference to be noted here is that my fairy tale didnt require a prince..It didnt require a hero (although there were many suitable options!!;) ).................



The bus stopped near lake Selger (Russia)..we with our wobbly sleep deprived eyes, reached our tents exhausted and tired. The bus journey was a full long 8 hours after a long flight...and slowly the magic swirled itself open...beautiful spacious tents amidst exquisite pine and fir trees. Cones scattered everywhere. It was a sight to relish. Astonishingly funny part was that lazy me didnt feel like having a wink at all. Lectures, intellectual games followed by sport and dance activities and then strolls on the lake side. people gay and happy, chilled out; and amazingly interactive ...I felt portkeyed to a beautiful world....

people would wear anything and nothing and yet wouldnt get second stares.... showing affection was suddenly not a scandel and emotions like frustration and stress didnt seem to exist...



In the next few days we also practiced and then performed on Indian Cultural Night... the dance and fashion shows were greatly applauded and appreciated.....lights, audience and hooting...it was my fantasy..something my college didnt give me; something I longed for eons and eons



In this part of Russia even the sun refused to set as if it too did not want to lie down ; we experienced the most amazing white nights. Along with these, the sight of a brightly colored orange crescent stole my breadth every single night..........



On the nineth day, I found my superly beautiful journey coming to an end..yet the the gorgeous images were intactly etched in my heart on my mind.



Today getting again engrossed in the the daily ebb and flow of life , the dreamy world still lingers softly around me and once more I have started believing that stuff like fairy tales do exist you only need to find this stuff.................!!
