This New Year ;; ))

On the very 1^st day when everybody was celebrating New Year, I was busy shifting. But it’s ok as I like the new house more then the old one, so it does start with happy note. I know New Year come with a new beginning but this year its kind of different. The good part is that I am with my Bhaibheji who is more like a sister(touch wood).

Met someone for the first time on 2^nd Jan 07. I never expected that it will turn out this way. Life is full of surprises (maybe this is one of it). Lets see which way this meeting lead to. I think a lot for every small to small things but sometime its better to stop thinking too much and ‘Just do it’ attitude is much more better.

Finally done with my Root Canal which I have been neglecting for past so many months. Going to Dentist is like my regular routine for this month. It hurts, but was not that bad. Everyone around me scares me so much that I keep on postponing again and again. Finally it’s done. Now I just have to go for my final check up.

Seen almost all the movies which were release, from ‘Bhagan Bhag’ to ‘Bable’ to ‘I See You’ to ‘Blood Diamond’ to ‘Guru’ to ‘The Covenant’. As it’s the beginning of the year I don’t have much work to do so end up watching all the possible movies. I like Blood Diamond and Guru the best. Now waiting for ‘Salaam e Ishq’

SHOPPING Wow!!! I can’t do without it. My life is not so complete without shopping. Bought dresses, chappals, bags, earrings and other stuff like curtain and all. My best Fren Bidya is the ultimate partner for shopping. It’s went to all the shop possible. Ya how can I forget my Bhaibhiji’s Saree. It’s really awesome.

Went to Shidhivinayak Temple. I have been dying to go there from the time I have landed here in Mumbai. I think it’s after one and half years that i got this opportunity. For going to any temple I believe that its in God's will, how much ever you try to go, if God doesn’t want to give Blessing you will never reach the temple. I have been waiting for this, from long time. Thank you dear God. Patience really pays.

Best one I clear in all my papers. I am So happy : ) I know how I prepare for this exam. I was stuck between work and coll. How much I was struggling at both the ends. On the last day of my Theory paper I lost my mobile phone. When I enter the examination hall my mind went blank still I manage to write some good answers.

Met my fren Pavi after one and half year. Feel so good. Happy that I have friends who are far from distance not from our friendship. We were not in touch for so so long time but when we meet it’s like the same old days. Talking, giggling blah blah blah.

Vasu is finally coming to Mumbai. She is one of my Best fren from Bangalore. Actually she was senior in the hostel. Now she is working in Pune. She have three days holiday. When we are together every moment is like celebration. So now is Me, Bidya (my school fren) and Vasu. Hope the society people won’t complain as we will be shouting and laughing all the time

Partying.Yeah!! From the beginning of the year I went clubbing every week
(Love dancing) Now it will be more exciting as Vasu is coming.

This year start with positive note. Or maybe, I become more mature with time as till now I don’t have any grudges, no bad feeling for people who hurt me who betrayed me. Or maybe I have decided to leave the negative feelings with last year. I can forgive all those who hurt me but I will never forget. All this help me become a better person. So it’s better to learn and go on in life. As I can’t do anything to change the Past but I can always plan for better Future.

To have someone who is always there for you is the best thing. Now I can also say that I have someone who is there for me in whatever I do. The one who try his best to make me smile all the time, help me in every possible way he can. Quality time with close ones and with all my best friends are the moments to be treasured. So this year start with all my near and dear ones by my side including new people in my life.

; )

So call Friends...

Talking with a stranger, trying to be nice and sweet, trying to know each other a bit more.
The more I interact the more I came to know about the person. Before he/she was the one of the crowd but after knowing a bit, we are on the process of being ‘Friends’. I cannot call the other person as my Friend, as I have just known him/her for sometime and if tomorrow he/she doesn’t call or doesn’t have time for me or something happen to them. It won’t affect my life because emotionally I am not attached with the other person. Yes I will feel bad for sometime but life will go on as before.
So in this way the word 'Friend' come to its real meaning when we are truly attached with the person in there happiness as well his/her sadness.

Now mostly people use this word ‘Friend’ everywhere according to their convenience.
But those who know the meaning of Real Friendship will never make friend easily and once they count you as friend they will never let you down. They can do anything for a friend.

I am not saying that this in the only way. As sometime it take a lifetime to know a person and sometime even a moment spent with the person is more then enough to know the person. (Please don’t get me wrong, I am only talking about friendship not Love ...don’t mix up)

This is the kind of beginning for any kind of Friendship. And as usual all kind of early relationship is quite exciting and interesting. But with time I come to know about the person more and more that’s were I know how strong my relation with this person is.

I talk with so many people but that doesn’t mean that all are my friends.
I don’t have any rules and regulations stating how my Friends should be. Maybe it’s just the likes, dislike, nature, hobbies, etc. match so much that we have so much in common that we just can’t stop talking about all these.

Or maybe I just follow my heart as heart never lies…

; ))

To all my Friends who are not so much in touch with me.. : )

I am really sorry that I haven’t been in touch lately.

I really hope that you know how much I miss the entire time i spent with you

How many times I have written letters in my thoughts but I am really sorry to say that sometime I get caught up in my daily schedule and I feel like I don’t have anytime to write or any interesting news to share or shall I say not any happening stuff to share as before.

I wont promise that I will do better. You know me better. But I do want to take time today to remind you how much you are LOVED and MISS by Me.

And lastly I hope that somehow each day through the year even when you don’t hear much from me, you just take it on faith, that I am wishing you well, for I am….. And I always will be

I Miss you all.

; )

Why does we always love the one who hurt us the most?

Everyone talks about love… love in different way different context with different people. I seriously do not know whether true love exist or not but, I had seen many time (I said I had seen not feel) that at the end one always end up broken hearted, whether it’s the guy or the girl. I guess if true love exists then this should not happen. However, it happens everywhere with everyone. With my cousin, my friend, my junior, my classmates, my so called sister blah blah blah.

Is love so strong that we lost control over ourselves? Alternatively, is it that we love the other person more than we love ourselves that we do not mind getting hurt repeatedly? We know will be disappointed but still we go on with it until he/she leaves us all alone.
Not only this we sacrifices many times, still the other person doesn't love us the way we love him/her. I do not understand why we have to go through all these. We have not done anything wrong to anybody but still we suffer. We suffer for the one we love the most. What have we done to deserve all these? Is it a big mistake to love someone so much… Moreover, love just happens you cannot do anything about it.
It hurts when you see him/her with someone else.. At that point, are we being selfish? Because we are not getting that attention, we want… or it is one-sided love?

At that point, you will make up your mind that you will not let he/she hurt you again but just a glance, a smile, or a word from the person will make all difference.
In addition, we always end up loving the person who hurt us the most.

6th May ;

My Specail Day...

The day when i wait and wait that everyone will call me.
But this time nothing much happen. But that does not meant that i dont had a good time. I love my birthday the way it happen.
Sometime you expect something and all of sudden something other happen which is not at all bad. I thought my day will be like this and like that but.. it was all diffrent.

Two of my Best Friends shifted my Birthday from 6th May to 1oth May.

And another one call up as soon as my Birthday end.

And my younger bother new rule... From now the person who is celebrating the birthday should send the gift. But this rule does not apply on his birthday.

My Dad, My Mom and my sis msg from the same cell phone to wish me by saying.."love mom" "love dad" "love sis".

One of my fren call up a day before as she thought that its on 5th. and forgot to call me on 6th.

I was waiting for my Brother to come before i cut the cake.. i wait and wait and wait. It was getting late and my fren has to go for work. As soon as i finish she rang the door bell.

I dont remeber what all happen more than this...

Uwanted Thought

I guess this is quite common to all of us. I meant “Unwanted Thought”.
Each one of use go through this each and everyday. No matter how busy we are, we still have time for it (unwanted thought) whether we like it or not.
I feel it is quite normal. You think for sometime then you have something more important to think about, so you come out of this Unwanted Thought easily.

But why am I writing about this???
Because I am so involved with this unwanted thought more than ever. Everyday I go through the same thing repeatedly. I try my best to come out of it but no use.
I know everyone goes through ups and down in life. I too go through the same thing and I do not have any problem with it but the question is ‘Does each one of you do the same thing which I do?’ That is ’Think more than you can bear’ that is where all the unwanted thought come in. I think so much that even my Blood Pressure goes low.
I know whatever I am thinking is useless but still, I cannot help it.

Why it is always easy to advice other that whatever they are doing is wrong and they should do in this way and that way. Blah Blah Blah
Why can’t we do the same thing with ourselves?
Why can’t we help ourselves as we try to help others?

I think I got my answer…
I know what to do now…

At last, I just have one thing to say…
Whenever, you have any question and if you can’t find the answer from anyone, Just ask yourself you will get all the answers, as there is no one in this world who knows you better than yourself.

Day of Ice Age

Last night I went for the preview of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown with Dada and Da Benao.
The movie was cool; I think you all should go and watch it. Its Worth!!
I like everything about the movie as there is not a single moment when I felt bore. I love the look of it the most, as it is so soothing to my eyes. However, why is it that the first movie is always better then the second one? I like Ice Age 2: The Meltdown but prefer the first one more.

Nevertheless, thanks to the movie, I laughed so much after some unwanted and not so happy days.

But what’s more interesting is not the movie.. Before the movie, we went bowling and they have some kind of contest. If you score more then 100 points, you get a gift. I try my best but end up getting only 82 points.
Its ok as Dada score 118 and won a gift. It was cool ; )

In addition, as last night it was the Preview of the movie they have some lucky draw where the first five get “Ice Age” T-Shirt. We won two T-Shirt but we got only one
T-Shirt, as they want to give a chance to others.
It is a cool T-Shirt. I love it : )
I always use to think that I am not that lucky enough to win all this kind of things but I think I need to change my mind.

At the end I just want to say that..
Life is all about having patience to bear all the unpleasant days in the hope that my good days will surely come to me.

; )

I am trying my best not to do any thing stupid today as we believe that whatever we do, it will happen throughout the year.

I know its stupid but still I believe …
Wish you all a wonderful Year ahead.

22 THINGS

Having been Tag by Dear Mini Minx
Do I have an option?
So, here 22 things about myself she say 20 but I thought I will add 2 more to match with my going to be age 22yrs.

1. I will be 22 in a month, to my surprise I am not at all looking forward to it. Does this mean that I am getting old? Alternatively, maybe I am feeling too lonely these days.

2. I am extremely snobbish when it come to cleanliness, right thing at right place and my wardrobe, and tend to look down upon those who call themselves “easy going” by not following the mantra of cleanliness.

3. Although it seems that, I am always cold, calm and happy. I crib, groan and moan to all who will listen about being able to play agony aunt. (Am an quite moody at times)

4. My ideal man would be very intelligent, have an awesome sense of humor, heart as soft as melted chocolate, which stands by what he believes in, and yet is not beneath admitting he is wrong. Most importantly, he should respect me for the person I am and should trust me too. Guess I have already found him but… (After all you cant get everything in one pack) ; )

5. I like making friends, and do so easily but I need time to know a person inside out. I can be a friend to anyone from my 2 years old niece to my 65years old grandmother. Once I count a person as real friend, I will be there for the person in all the possible way I can without asking anything in return.

6. Despite having lived in Manipur for 18years, I never find anything to appreciate or to be happy about being a Manipuri. However, my thinking changes, when I was in Bangalore. If I have to do something like dance, presentation or writing an article for college I always wanted to do something related with Manipur. Like Manipuri dance, presentation about AFSPA (Arm Force Special Power Act) in Manipur or writing about Manipuri Ras Leela.

7. I like to work all the time, I cannot sit idle but I hate to work under pressure. I need my own sweet time to do anything. Otherwise, I go crazy and become very moody.

8. I love love love shopping and can shop until I drop. In addition, I have to try all the dresses as soon as I reach home no matter how tired or hungry I am. My ideal way to die would be to get hit by an avalanche of my shopping bag in the world’s biggest mall ; )

9. I talk to myself all the time whenever I am not in public view. I really love doing this.

10. To gain my trust is not a big deal but once if it is broken there is no way in which the person can gain back my trust.

11. I cannot abide with hypocrites and people who cannot respect others, especially women, and those who saw bad attitude upon people who are economically backward compared to them.

12. I would love to be a youngest kid in the family but I guess my parents want me to be the eldest. Even if am eldest they should pamper me too!! : (

13. Feed me Chinese food, anything with Chicken, Chocolate and Ice cream and I will love you for life.

14. I get carried away with my own thing and tend to forget that there is much more to life than what I am seeing of it. Need to remind myself at times to come out of my dream world. Nevertheless, when it come to decision making I am quite practical.

15. I dislike lair but when it comes to make someone happy and if, that lie does not cause pain to anybody than I am an obsessive-compulsive liar.

16. I believe that, the only way to happiness is simplicity and having a pure heart. Being nice to others no matter who they are “enemies” or “friends”.

17. I am very stubborn and get fiercely possessive when it comes to my near and dear one. Only few people know about it.

18. I expect things to go in a certain way planned out in my head, logical or illogical but never get frustrated if it did not; as I believe that, some things are not in my hand. Instead, I try to find a way.

19. I dislike pet, as I am allergy to dog. In addition, a dog once bit me when I was a kid.

20. I love people whole-heartedly, or not at all. There is no in between. Moreover, if I love a person I overlook all their negative qualities and see only the positive side. (I know its wrong but I cant help it)

21. I love -: Movies, Kids specially my darling niece, Cricket whenever India is playing, Flowers, Chatting, Old Hindi films songs, My mobile phone, Bowling, Books specially “Harry Potter” and “Chicken Soup”, My phone again, My wardrobe, Bowling again, Shopping, More Shopping, JNC (college where I completed my Graduation, never thought that I will miss JNC so much) the list is endless.

22. I can always forgive but can never forget. And I truly believe ‘You will always get what you deserve”. Lastly, I love this quote “Life is difficult, it was never meant to be easy”.

The Journey...

Reached station at 7 in the morning, our train was supposed to leave at 7:55am on the 17th of Feb. We have one whole hour, so we talk, look here and there, and make stupid comments about the people who were busy doing their on stuff. After 10min, we heard that the train has been delayed by 5hrs, five whole hours in the station, where you do not even have a place to sit. Now we have to find a way to keep our bags, as there is no way in which we could go home with all our bags. After asking the Station Master, we found a place but Deema and Bung agree to stay there. So Jeena and me went home in local train, the crowd in the train was an experience. Reached home at 9am, was feeling damn sleepy so slept off for some time, left home at 11:30am, reach Dadar station at 12:30 both of them were looking for us.

It was 1:30pm and the train was not even there. “What the hell?” we wait and wait...

Finally, by 4pm the train arrives. I cannot believe the train was delayed by 8hours, that too from the starting station.

Once the train started moving, we all had our lunch and sleep off. Got up at night and had little bit of rice. Talk for sometime then off to sleep again. I was missing my niece.
End of first day.


They got up quite early but I was still sleeping (the way the train move always make me sleepy) finally I have to get up as I was not able to bear the noise this ‘chawala’ make.
When I went to the toilet there was no water, I was not surprised as it happen all the time. I used our drinking water to wash my face. There were so many people trying to sell different things. But there was one woman, she really impressed me. She was selling grapes we bought 1kg from her. She kept her bag under our seat and asked us to keep an eye on it, and then she went to other compartment to sell her grapes. It was time for lunch so we had fried rice.

Later she came back to get her bag. What impresses me about her is the way in which she arranges the grapes from the bag to her basket. She had few bunch of grapes in her basket and emptied the basket by keeping the grapes on a newspaper. After that, she took out one bunch after another from the bag in such a way that it should not get spoil. She done in such a systematic way that everyone around was just staring at her and was waiting to see whether she will manage the whole lot in that basket.
It was quite impossible. We were saying that it will not fit but she managed it so well.
First, she put good ones then she covered it with a layer of newspaper after that she kept the entire bunch, which were there in her basket before, again she covered it with another layer of newspaper. Lastly, she kept all the single grapes in one side. She had done it beautifully that everyone smiled when she left.
We had dinner then slept off; I was missing my niece so much.
End of day second day.


Got up quite late, had breakfast together. After that, I slept off again. Had to get up, as it was time for lunch. We were singing Manipuri songs; everyone was just staring and laughing not because of the song but the way Deema was singing. After that, we were playing cards. We decided not to have dinner, as we were not at all hungry. We were planning not to sleep too. Most of them got down in NJP so most of the berths were empty. We were quite happy but our happiness did not last, as it was destroyed by three men who were completely drunk. They were acting very strange to Jeena and me and were staring at us as if they were about to eat us. We were so scared and irritated that we went to next berth were they cannot see us. We did not sleep until 2.00am but slept off after that. Had to get up at 3:30am as we were supposed to reach Guwahati at 4.

We reached exactly at 4am.
End of train journey.

We had one whole day in Guwahati as our bus is supposed to leave at 3:30 pm.
We were tired like hell so spend the entire day just sleeping.

The bus journey is another story so…

Went home for a month for my cousin's marriage.

Happy/ Not Happy

At times, it has become so hard to decide whether I am happy or not.

I am happy to do things which make people around me happy.

I always try my best to give whatever I can just to make them happy.

At times, it has become so hard for me to decide whether I should go on or not, as many times I end up doing things which I don’t want, just to make people happy.

I can be happy if i think that I am doing things which make them happy.

But I even have a reason not to be happy.

I just wonder whether these things happen with all the people or only with me!!

All of us has a tendency to think that ‘why me’ all the time.

But I won’t say that as I believe that…

“You always get what you deserve”

So whatever I do must, what I deserved.…

Wish You All

HAppy Valentine's Day : )

I think i am quite late but still..

Mumbai Pune Express

The drive to Pune, and back to Mumbai was awesome.
Yesterday went to Pune for a meeting.
The speed we went reached up to 160km/h!!
It doesn’t mean that we were driving at that speed all the time.
I had been stuck up at all the possible traffic in Mumbai.
And I used to wonder will I ever get out of this traffic,
Yes, I got my answer yesterday in Mumbai-Pune Express.
It's simply amazing!!!
Ya, I know the highways are always good for long drive but I never expect that it would be so 'Cool'.

While coming back we met with an accident nothing much happened, it's just that our front tire got puncture. Changing the tire was the scariest part as we were not supposed to stop on a highway. Most of the vehicles were moving very fast.
Thank God we reach home safely at 12:30 at night.

Good things always happen with a bit of negative thing in it.

Potter Mania

She was my junior when I was in college; she is crazy about Harry Potter. She loves each and everything about Harry Potter. She calls herself my younger sister and use to hate me whenever I introduce her as my junior. “Why can’t you just say that I am you sister?”
She is very different from the other girls I ever met. I was with her for almost a year. Initially she was not so close with me but later on, we became very close.
The best part of being with her was that, it just reminded me of my school days.
I was just like her…..

Full of dreams,
Excited about everything,
Want to go with the flow,
Eager to do something new all the time,
Ready to make mistake,
Not scared of anything,
Always fighting with mom,
Movies,
Magazines,
Shopping,
Crazy about movie stars,
To live in different world,
Music and more Music (there is a difference - she like rock music, I prefer films songs)
Want to be perfect in life,
Dreams and more Dreams about things, which are not in hand
Blah Blah Blah…

When I met her for the first time I realize that time and age has change me. Moreover, I feel that it happen for the best. I am not saying that I have change completely. Now, I can differentiate between my dream world and the real world.
When I like someone, I like it to the core and I use to think that the feeling will never fade no matter what. Now she also feels the same. I try explaining that with time, place and age your likes will change. “No, I will never change my feelings about Harry Potter.”
I just told her; Meet me after you complete your degree.
She is in her first year degree. She is a very sweet girl with a pure heart. If she like someone she can do anything for that person but if she hate someone then.. You better be careful.

Just got a call from her recently, she is still the same :)
“Che I miss you”. This is what she always tell me whenever I call up.

With Time, With Place, With situation, With People, With Age
Everyone Changes…

Confused Character

Oh! You want to go for the marriage
Ok Go…

(Next moment)
What is the use of going? Don’t go.,,

(Next day)
Ask about the flight timing and fare.
When are you coming back?

(Next Moment)
What is the use of going? Don’t go..

(Next day, we try buttering him by putting his favorite song).
Find out the timing in Jet airways so that we can meet in the airport.

(Next Moment)
What is the use of going? Don’t go..

At the end, we have to listen to “Tarap Tarap”

Romantic Wordsworth

" Sweet is the lore that nature brings
Our meddling intellect.
Misshapes the beauteous forms of things
We murder to dissect
Enough of science and of art
Close up these barren leaves.
Come forth and bring with you a heart
that watches and receives".
Wordsworth.

How I wish this to happen at some point of time in everyone's life.
