An Open Letter to A Woman

Dear Ms. Precious,

You can't give up just yet. You are a living example of how one needs to have courage to make wrong decisions and more courage to take more wrong decisions. Considering this, statistics show that you are quite courageous.

What happens when you fall..when you get weak..when you worry..you solve nothing. These are experiences which make you, you. Look back and see would you want to change anything..anything at all. Why would you want to change anything when from being a meek and naive girl, you turned to being a woman who can take on the world, only because of these circumstances.

Get bold, my dear. Feel the fire within you turning into pure gold. You are sensitive to others' emotions. You are smart and intelligent. You are everything. You are not weak. Period.

Don't wait for the world to tell you their opinion of you. Even if they do its not worth a penny. Because only you know your circumstances and the reason behind each one of your decisions.

You are not a puppet. You can't be made to dance with your strings on someone else's fingers, no matter how hard they try. Trust me, they will fall. They always have. Haven't they?

You are the best at everything you do. You give your heart and soul to everyone and everything around you. You think so so much about others. But then you forget the most important person you need to think about. You! What about your health, your peace, your sleep, your happiness, your future?

Stop thinking for just few seconds. No, the world won't stop spinning. No, the sky won't come crashing down. No, they won't forget you. Nothing of this sort will happen when you stop worrying. Even if it does, trust me my angel, you are a Phoenix. You always rise and you will rise again. Stronger and much better, much much more special.

Start valuing yourself, my precious. Only then the world will. Wipe away those tears or cry your heart out. Do anything that makes you feel great. It's your life. They will judge you. They will smirk at you but it doesn't and shouldn't make any difference to you. Only one person's judgement and opinion about you matters the most. Baby, its yours.

Laugh. Laugh out loud. Scare the hell out of them when you are laughing. The whole world fears strong happy women. Because these women refuse to be taken for granted. They refuse to be snubbed and dominated. They are power. You are them. You are the greatest power of all times and the energy hidden within you can destruct or construct a whole new world. You choose, my darling.

Honey, close your eyes and look within. See how beautiful you are. Feel how your heart is made of gold. Feel how your soul is pure like drops of morning dew. Now open your eyes and look at yourself in the mirror. See the smashing beauty. See that head held high. See those pretty eyes. See that smile no one in the world can miss. See that glow on your face. Listen to the mirror smiling at you and telling you that "you my lady, are the most beautiful woman in the world".

You go girl. You shine. You shimmer. You rock. You are unique and unmatched. Trust me when I tell you, woman, you are the best.

With a thousand bows,
Me.

Friends??

Statutory Warning: Negative splurges ahead. Reader's discretion is advised

Everyone is familiar with the vent spree I went on few days ago. I got messages, calls from so many of you. A lot of long lost friends got back in touch just to check if I was ok or if there is anything they can do to make me ok. Aww.. See this doesnt happen often. I am someone who goes to bed every night thinking, 'where are my friends?'. 

Where are the ones who used to hang out with me? The ones I used to fight mom for..


"I need to go on that trip mumma! I dont care if it is expensive. 
I want to go. All my friends are going."

Where are the ones who I used to lie for...just so that I get to be with them more?

"Mumma, if I don't go for this group study, I fail. I will definitely fail the exam."

Where are the ones who I used to go on long bike/car rides with? Where is the 'gedi' gang?

"Chaat, paanipuri, aalu tikki, rain, breeze, giggles, Jazzy B on the car audio, laughter"

Where are the ones who stood by me when I was low?

"Break ups, fights, tough times, ill-health, rain or shine"

Where are the ones......

Wait.. see I cant think of many things... I have always been this bird... flying from one shore to another..season after season..no long memories...no long stories (or probably too many)... but then..
look at me all grown up..with responsibilities and duties to fulfill..professionally and personally..still wondering sometimes..'Where are my friends?'

So when so many of you got back in touch.. I kind of didn't know what to do. What to share and what not to.. there is just so much to catch up on.. How will you understand what happened today when you were not there yesterday? How will you know the rain if you didnt understand the reason behind it?

I don't know how to be a friend.. I have never known.. I would never know.. For a simple reason I have never had a long time friend..or friends.. Just drizzles of emotions from people around me once in a while... at least that's how I look at it..

Where is that strong pillar or the shoulder to lean on or the 'I am here for you always' pat they define a friend with? Where is it? It is no where... 

927 'Friends' on my Facebook list... 
*smiles*

"Neha, these friendships disappear as time passes by. Don't run behind them like a shadow. Focus on your goal. You can be your biggest friend and your biggest enemy. You choose.", he said. She squirmed and replied sternly, "Dad, you just don't understand me. You don't understand your own daughter!!" He smiled, "Time will answer this for you."



Ciao!

I am different..

I am different.

I can hate and love
The same person
Simultaneously
And in multiple ways
Million times over.

I am different.

I can loathe and adore
Myself
Trying to motivate self
But then get totally surprised
at those
Wet eyelashes.

I am different.

I can smile a lot
But then cry
Probably scream inside
Because I fail
Fail to understand
My sorrow
And my happiness.

I am different.

Logic ditches me
At the most sensible of times.
The sad past does make me
Question my well-lit future.

I am different.

I am different
Because
I am right and wrong

I am different
Because
I smile a lot
And mean it too sometimes

I am different
Because
When I look at the horizon
I feel whoa!
That is so me
'Boundless and beyond'
'Close yet so far'.

I am different
But then may be I am not.
I am a woman. You see?
I can be a million things..
