Sweet December :)

Silver lining did existed, it was just that i had lost my patience. If you are linked with me on facebook, you might just realise how happy i am these days...

And if you are connected with me through this blog, u must be knowing how sad was i in last few months...but since the beginning of 12th month..there has not been a single day which wasn't in my favour... every moment spend in this month has been full of sweet memories..

December was always special for me, as most of my favorite events - Winters, Christmas, New year night were in this month. But December of 2009 can be described in the following song..(read carefully)

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at Rs 9009
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was winter of two thousand and nine..

Me and my cousin sam..
Had a Band and we tried real hard
we never quit and we never will quit
and i always know we one day will make a big hit..

back in winter of 09

oh yeah.. :)

Oh when I luk back now
This winter seemes to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I always wanna be here
These are the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got assignments to do
Spent my evenin's surfing facebook and nights talking wid you..
And that's when I smile along with u..

Standin on ur mummy's porch..
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
These are the best days of my life..

-Delhi Trip

When u are alone in a big city away from family, friends... it isnt that fun..

But my trip to delhi was damn fun.., walking alone alongside big roads...watching people smile, laugh..talking..noticing them express themselves...was quite a enjoyable.

4 days away from my normal routine...and living independently without any tension was the best part..and how can i miss telling you the journey of my train..i simply love travelling in trains..enjoying the darkness through the window..2 am in the night..

-Next came the aarohan fest in another engineering college of jammu,

(2-days event..)

Day1:

"Which city is called the windy city of USA?? " this question made us(me and my buddies from gcet) knocked out from general quiz competition..damn..

nevertheless i was there to be with my best friend , so i wasn't that much desperate to win any competition. Was meeting her after 2 months, so was quite excited..plus i had some good frnds in the same college whom i hadn't met since 2years...so when you have good company..the day obviously becomes good :)

and the day ended with chocolate paan and a long drive with my best friend :)

Day2:

You Can understand my excitement from my Facebook update... i don't know how to dance, but still i danced like anything...

later long drive again with my best friend..

and then birthday party of one of my friends from same college .. so as a part of the family..[as they said.."Rahil welcome to our family" (they call their group as small family)...] i loved being in their family...

...butter-chicken, naan...hot chocolate fudge...yumm..party was damn good..!!

Seriously, these are one of the best days of my life...

Its really is a sweet december to remember..

Memorable Long-drive :)

When i woke up today, i was feeling so much good..after the cool weekend i had with friends and cousins and best sleep ever last night. Didnt wanted to go college, as i just had finished with my exams, but had too; as registration for new semester had to be done. So with intentions of just returning from college with 30 mins i left home.

Due to some reasons, i couldn't register as the teacher signing the admission form had left the college early or rather say i reached college late :P

Sitting on bikes, suddenly one of friends said "yaar lets go for a long drive, its been a long time we have gone somewhere.." and immediately the plan was decided to leave for a rs pura (small town 30kms from jammu city); our main motive was going for long drive rather than any sight seeing...!

So 6 friends, 3 bikes...we began our journey ! With newly made roads the drive was more fun...sun was too in favour with us...as from bright sunny day, it went too cool breeze sunny day. Going through the fields it made me remind of the crops i had grown in farmville (:P farming game in facebook, totally addicted to it)..straight roads, less traffic...everything was in favour of us !! With driving speed at 80-100kmph we reached the destination within 20minutes..

With NO intentions what so ever going where we went(u will come to know soon..) the journey became a memorable journey from a normal long drive...

One of my friends said in joke, lets go to pakistan...its just 5kms from here...!! And imagine what we all took it seriously and planned going to border ! It was 5 km straight road from the rs pura city within long stretch of farms..this was the time when each two persons on three bikes switched seats...from that point ahead i drove the bike...

As it was a straight road, with no traffic...my speed kept on increasing..and believe me there was a point when my speed-o-meter showed 120kmph....wooooshhh..were the fields passing by..!! Had a terrific ride..and soon we reached a point where pakistan was 500 meters ahead, i cant explain what were the things going through my mind...

Parked our bikes, went to the officer at the post and requested him to let us see the border..he initially refused but making few phone calls and authorizing our identity he told us to wait another 20-25 minutes as it was lunch time and the person who had to take to the loc had gone for lunch...

I forgot to tell you the worst part, no photography was allowed at that place, so we had to give all our camera phones to the security officer..! So we had 20 minutes to roam about. Rice fields..a visit to temple and talking to other officers...this is how we passed that slow moving 20 minutes.

Finally an officer came, ascorted us to a big steel gate.. painted with indian flag..opened it and what a sight..about 200 metres ahead was a similar steel gate but painted in pakistan flag...and in between was barrier..exactly in center between the 2 gates...one side of which was pakistan and other was India. We travelled till the barrier..and keeping one foot on indian territory and other on pakistan's i remembered the scene from the movie "a walk to remember"....where jamie wanted to be at two places at one time...!! I absolutely cant explain how terrific those feelings were...

It was a journey to remember.. :)

Friends..all the way

Most will say this typical filmy dialogue- "ladka aur ladki kabhi dost nahi bansakte" [a girl and guy can never be friends] does this mean opposite gender attraction and sexuality ruins what invariably would have been a good friendship?

i however beg to differ, being brought up in co-ed school ; and now when i study in a co-educational institutional college, i firmly believe that a guy and a girl can not just be friends but good friends at that. it is a popular notion that yin and yang makes a whole, this is applicable not only to a couple in love but in friendship too. i wonder why parents adopt this attitude towards their kids, where they tend to question the nature of their friendship when they see their daughter/son get too friendly with a friend of the opposite gender...thank God it is not the case in my family but i have seen many such families in my friend circle and this is not just applicable to parents but other peers too. what makes people raise their eyebrow to friendship and so called categories of friendship?

does really attraction and sexuality ruins what could have been a great friendship? my answer would be yes and no. firstly, when two people find that they are very compatible as friends and enjoy life the fullest they tend to wander just a bit thinking that good friends can end up as good lovers too, sometimes it works out sometimes it don't. and then again sometimes two friends don't look at each other as anything more than friends. this is all too complicated isn't it? actually friendship means different things to different people. its relative. so how we approach it and how we want to deal with friends and friendship is entirely depends on each person, there is hardly any rule book to it, to each his own.

it is so weird to think, that with time a guy and a girl friendship find social acceptance on the other side same gender friends are often frowned at :P! what has the world come to really? good friends are really hard to come by and when they do one must cling onto them. many of my acquaintances find it hard to believe that i have found durable friendships in the world wide web; who cares ultimately the friendship counts, the medium is irrelevant. isn't it? virtual or real friends matter the most. we made friends and friendship should not be based gender or sexual orientation of the friendship, but the feelings that is shared should be most important.

Today i saw two legendary bollywood flicks - "Jaane Tu" And "Kuch Kuch Hoota Hai.."Both having some common ending, two best friends of college falling in love at the end. After watching such movies, views do get change for some time...as i said earlier these things get really complex sometimes..!

Most of the times i hear people say.. "If they cant be good friends they cant be great lovers" doesn't it contradict my above thoughts; actually i myself am a big contradiction to my own views, as i myself have fallen in love with my two really good friends of mine ! On the contrary i have this special friend, i love her a lot but she is just a friend.. (Now i am leaving some homework for u people, i hope you won't disappoint me)

So with jumbled up conclusion at the end i want you people who are reading this blog-post to give your opinions and please give your honest opinions , ur experiences or whatever you feel about this topic. I would really appreciate that.

hasta la vista,
