Change.

Change - something that one has to deal with , something that definitely has to meet you in life and something which is inevitable.

Think about it. Is it good? Is it something that you really want? Is it something that effects the others but makes you happy?

Does it make you lose it? Does it make you lose yourself? Do you want to lose yourself and transform into something you once aspired to become or into some one you never wanted to turn into ? Just , think .

Cause these stages change everything. These changes , change everything. And in the end, you're either left alone , or there's a huge crowd surrounding you. Its either a yes or a no. Its either a good or a bad. Its either positive or negative. You'll take turns in life, and fall into deep pits. You're gonna get up and just move on. Someone once said 'Life's a climb. But in the end, the view is great.' The gravity is gonna pull you down and you'd happily hug the ground without even knowing anything about it. But this time, get up, keep your head held high like you're the ruler here, and just move on. Move forward and never stop. Falling into deep pits would definitely be a great experience. You're gonna love the feeling you'll get after you get up, look back at the silly thing you did, look back at the pit and laugh at the way you just fell, and then remembering your mistake and laughing on it, you just walk off and move on. Just move on.

- Just breathe.

It feels amazing to get your article published in a daily newspaper.

'Way to go girl', they said. I believe them.

Way. To. Go.

You can't compare them.

You cant compare 'love' with 'friendship'. Though both have a thing in common. Either they stay forever, or they last only for some time. 'Love' as they say is 'beyond everything' but , friendship , is beyond all forces of love.

You can manage to live without the love of your life for some time, but you'd never be able to live without your friends.

Maybe, because everytime you land up in a silly situation or a problem, you go to your friends instead. They know you better. They know exactly what dose you want at what time. They know the real 'you' inside of you which wont show itself to the love of your life cause you're scared that it might find it weird or maybe not accept it. Maybe not accept the way you really are. The real you.

Love-Teenage love to be precise-is not stationary. It'll come, and go. Its more of an infatuation, so its for a really short period of time. Maybe for a month or so. Or maybe for even a week.

Friendship, on the other hand is something that stays for ever. Its not even a tag. Its like you've promised the person to abide by all the rules of friendhip. Specially, abiding by the bitching sessions and the evil plans against the other girls who think they're oh-so-cool , that you've always loved. Its a promise that you'll stay together, always, come what may.

But, 'promise' is a big word. Promises in friendship is something more than a statement which you make to the other person that you'll definitely do something or give them something. And, so, promise is a really big word, with a really deep meaning.

Those who don't really get its meaning, usually fake their friendship. They don't make a commitment.

And so, because of these weak bonds, you let other things distract you and dissconnect with your so called 'best friend'. You let other things take over you.

And then that is it. That might be the end of what at some point of time you called a promise. Many a times, you let love take over you. And when love takes over, things change.

When love takes over, you dont wish to be with anyone but yourself. You'd spend a lot of time in thinking how you look and what changes can be brought about in yourself. Everything is colourfull. Even if you're watching an old black and white film, you'll like it. You'll like it and notice every damn romantic scene in it. You'll start smiling all of a sudden even if you're gazing at a blank wall. You'll start forgetting random shit. You'd go through a change. Puk-ish much, huh, boys ?

And what about the girl you, somewhere along the way, that you left behind? Feel guilty ? Haven't you ever looked at the negative aspects of letting love take over your life? No? Everything in the world isn't as pink as you think, in love.

I'm not against it, cause thats just another time of your life that you must enjoy , cause it might never come back. Its just that because of this whole 'going out' crap, you might just forget what may be more important. You'll lose time in no time. You'll never know where the time goes away. You might end up in having a fight with one of your girls and you might start to hate everything. Even if there'll be someone-like your guy-to tell you that he loved you and that that time is just gonna go, you would, from deep inside want you girl to say it to you. You'd want your best friend to assure you, and not your guy.

See the difference? You'll act all I-love-him-so-much-I-could-die-for-him, but deep iside your heart, somewhere, you'll be screaming the name of your girl like crazy. You'll want her back. The same old you , the person before under going the change , would want to break free from the jail of your heart and come back.

But, circumstances wont allow. Your gut wont allow you. And even if it would, you wouldn't listen to it.

Confused ? They're such strong feelings you've got to get confused, but surely you'll find a way out. Surely. You'll figure something out, even if you're so effing screwed, and in the middle of complete mess. Hope, right? This time will go and things would be back to normal again . But you still can't compare the two feelings to each other.

The four Seasons :)

The sun is hot in the sky. Its showing off what its got. It has bestowed us with sparkling yellow flowers of light that falls on the Earth, raising the temperature.

The heat , the light that sparkles on the grey ground. The twisted and turned white lines on the road reminds me of an art. A very thoughtful art. The warm breeze playing with the leaves of the trees. They shake with the wind. They say something. The greenery of the trees and the brown tree trunks and the branches of the trees along the roadside gives me a hope. A hope that someday , S u m m e r would say good bye. The summer heat would be gone. The tightness of the heat, the hotness in the wind. It would all be gone. S p r i n g would come. Spring would be welcomed with joy. New flowers, new leaves, new colors, new sounds. Spring would come and bring us happiness. And its not far from this hotness.

Its not the warmth. Warmth is pleasant. Hotness is the sizzle. The strong hot sizzle that hits and irritates everything coming in its way. that single jolt troubles.

Its torturous. But hope. Hope lures me to think of the new season. Its lures me to think of spring.

Cool breeze , new views, festivals. A u t u m n . Typical autumn breeze. Typical autumn rains. There's a certain type of coolness and sweetness in the Autumn breeze. The autumn wind.

And then, the dew, the fog, the mist, the snow, the drowsiness, the striking cold. W i n t e r . Winter makes me happy. It gives me a feeling that it would come free me from this horrid , pukish summer heat. The temperature would drop. Drop for good.

And rise again.

It just goes on and on. The ups and the downs in the temperature ; The four seasons.

These four seasons bring four new hopes, everytime for the next one. The Summer heat brings hope for the Spring's freshness. The Autumn humidity brings hope for the dry Winter cold. Each season connects itself with the other. Its magical.

The four seasons are magical to me, mystical to me. Interesting as they seem.

The sun remains the same. The giant spotlight up above remains hot in the sky providing the double faced heat.

The sun too is magical. Mystical to me. This cycle goes on. Like how its meant to be.

The cycle of the four seasons, and the sun, it goes on, showing off what they've got :)

Stuggle to Success

There are over ten billion people struggling their way out of this drain we call the road to success. There is this struggle everyone faces on the road to success. Be it their career selection or the stream selection. Struggle is one thing a person finds everywhere in life. Everywhere, that is.

Very often it is accompanied by confusion or stress. Ego, or maybe even bad temper. Struggle is one heck of a sensitive action. Or a thing. Or an activity.

Its one thing that can make you or break you. A struggler might just waste his time struggling for the respective thing it wants all his life and end his life like that.

He might end his life struggling, that is without any good. But it is possible that this struggler may turn out to be a successful leader of a successful life.

Struggle is one heck of a butt. It welcomes you to its world the very day you come into this world.

And belive it or not, it never leaves you. It walks by you, like your shadow. And never leaves you come what may.

And the funny part? You've got to live with it. Live with it, like a room mate. And of course you're forced to live with it [just like your room mate-haha].

Yes, I think I'm right about the part, that it can make you or break you.

You've got to be faithful, and have faith in yourself, when the confusion demon in you comes out to accompany Struggle. Its like this time you want to do something and end up doing something else or you want to do something and never get to start it off. "I'll do this... But wait. What if so and so happens? What if I never succeed? What if...." , is what comes to the silly little confused brain-lets call it 'mind' to be precise. Because, as psychology defines it, 'The Human Brain being the most Vital organ of the Human Body, is, at the same time, the most confused part of the system"

I definitely and truely agree to the person who made this statement. Well done sir/ma'am !

So, the only thing possible to calm you down, when one gets the Confusion-Struggle-Fit, is to shut down the Human Brain's Engine. And for sometime, avoid refilling the fuel. That might help. As we belive and as we know, that the word 'Life' is a synonym for 'Struggle' , I personally believe, one needs a time-out. That surely would do. And the times Struggle makes Ego and/or Anger her best friend, its quite obvious the person sharing the room with Struggle and her best friend Ego and Anger would go insane. Because, the study of the Human Brain defines another thing, that it is obvious that the brain might explode-not literally-due to too much pressure, and no room for self. It is possible, and happens quite a lot of times that the person going throught this type of a stage would explode, be it with anger or laughter-laughter in some special type of cases- or with a furiously mad mind. Mad, here refers to something possibly out of control which has nothing to do with mental illnesses.

"I need a break" "I need some time to think" "Time out? Please?" or "I need a room!" are the possible answers given out by most of the strugglers in the world, cause they're under too much of pressure. All they want that time is 'a break'.

So, you'll have to stop going mad on things like these. There's more to life. Much more.

They say they dont want to stuggle their way out of the other fifty billion people. However, they do want to stand out. And shine like a star. And be the sun to all of them. The only thing they don't want to do, is struggle. Its the easy going way of life they want with the enormous facilities. The only thing they-they here is referring to most of the teenagers-don't want to belive is that Sruggle is actually the synonym of the word Life.

Scary much? No. Its nothing to be afraid of. Its one thing that should be done with a strong determination which is kind of difficult. Because the ability to determine things is like achiving self actualisation. Or enlightenment. Which took a person like Lord Buddha, years to achieve.

But keeping this kind of a fast growing, fast achieving, always on the go type of a living in the 20th century, I dont think we're far from the end. End of struggle and the beginning of success.

As I mentioned earlier, Struggle greets you, at the time you enter this world. To welcome you to its world. Because, to come to life, come to the living world, a new born, right from the mother's womb, struggles, to come to this world, to meet the struggle itself. And an old aged mind and an old aged heart, struggles, to live, to remain in the living world, and stuggles to fight struggle and win over, so that, that heart and the mind, can still live.

You'll find her everywhere. You'll find Struggle standing there, arms wide open, willing to take you in her arms, with this thought in her mind that it'll lead you to a sucessful and a fruitful life. She isn't that bad, to be honest. Just that it is stubborn. But this stubborn attitude of hers makes you even stronger for the upcoming difficulties in your life. But as they say, "You can do everything, if you have faith in yourself, and confidence in yourself". If a person makes this line as the base of its life, then this person's gonna achive a hell of a lot in the long run.

The time is now. You'll have to share your room with her and be nice to her. And make her your best friend. Make struggle your best friend. Because she's gonna give you the ultimate happiness in life. And, yes, of course, because she's gonna introduce you to her best friend. Success, that is.
