Retrospect!

There comes a time when you have to reflect,

when you've to think of all that seemed right,

and all that went wrong

The bets you made,

the battles you fought,

the friends you had,

and the ones you lost

Life comes with a silver spoon,

but it takes with a broken hand

It shows you a direction,

but the path is yours to take.

Lets see where are you heading my friend!

You!

This post is for you!

You belong to the fraternity that is not meant to be strong but in what context people have this observation is beyond me.

Your beaming face and a splendid aura is the first thing that grabs the attention. Others may wonder that there may be nothing fancy about it. A lot of people have this craft and what is this thing to write about? Put into the equation the numerous leg pullers that you fight daily and a norm that you bout against every minute and the significance of this sight multiplies exponentially.

Fun loving, young, exuberant are understatements when it comes to you. Amidst all the adversities you know how to keep the balance. Workplace, home or institute every place gives you ample reasons to be more strong, resilient and spirited.

Your survival mechanism of not only handling crisis but little disasters of everyday life is truly extraordinary. You do break down occasionally but who would not? I am convinced that you will never fit in because you are born to stand out!

Your life's good. Don't sadden yourself by what you won't have later, celebrate what you have now. Your present is too precious to be tainted by regrets of past or stresses of future. Live like there is no tomorrow, love like you've never been hurt. As for the past, obviously you couldn't have worked any harder, given it more, loved more, cared more, spent more hours I don't know the list goes on. Looking back you might feel like you put your heart out too quickly... blame it on the season... it was after all a spring of hope and only a fool wouldn't fall in love.

Sometimes when you don't know where you're headed, is it not ok to just follow your heart?? It takes courage to be happy... be brave for yourself. Don't try to figure things out, there is no right way or wrong way. Hope springs and miracles do happen and I can promise that your life will soon change for the better that even you wont believe it.

With the powers vested upon me by myself, I hereby declare that you are not a person, you are a phenomenon!

Respect, Aaich.

Adieu, Mesh!

She will be leaving soon! She had to in any case. She was here for her masters and after successfully doing that and in between also tying knots with an amazing man it was always a matter of when and when not!

 

I had the opportunity of sharing the cost accounting class with her. At that time she was just another student in the class and you don’t interact with the whole lot. Right? Fast forward a few months later when she became a mutual friend courtesy of another friend of mine, that I really got to know who this gurl is :)

It wasn’t all really full fun to start off with but it became better and better as the time passed. We had some amazing times watching movies and hanging out. Plus who would forget the amazing tag team we enjoyed in the soccer match against JZ and Sam. O’ boy we did give them a run for their money that evening :D

I don’t have an idea as to when will I meet with her the next time but I am sure that with the new age platforms I will stay connected to the doctor who promised to fix my tooth but never did :D (yeah you know I am a lil mean)

Thank you Mesh for making CBM such a good place to be! On top of it, the wonderful memories that you gave amongst the dooms of finance and accounting idiocies.

All the best for your big day ahead and the amazing future that lies ahead of you and ZT :)

As for the moment, Adieu!

Aaich!

Happy to you, Tee!

2005 it was when we started to interact. Perhaps this is the timeline of my relationships, a little late, always! Ideally we should have started in 2004 but never the less it was a year later.

I cannot exactly recall how? But probably I must have asked you for some insight into a stupid engineering question or you may have asked for some of my notes [not that I was the smart one in town :D ] but I am glad either one of us took the lead.

Fast forward to 2007 when we had the best of times. You introduced me to a couple of other gems and how we ended up doing the most cost effective project in the entire Sir Syed University history. I am sure that this cost effective achievement of ours still stands to date (yeah we did the whole project for a mere 2500 bucks when others when spending around 25000 on the minimum) and not to forget the countless evenings on Bovichic at Muskan and KFC and student biryani’s :P

You are a very good person T! Too good for a person like me. You are one name on my mind who I can always bank upon, no matter what the circumstances are. I am amazed how much you do it for me even when I don’t deserve it.

As you turn the leaf on the age book today, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all the wonderful times that we have shared and the many more that lie ahead of us! Words are meaningless and actions do speak a lot louder than words but still I wish you a very happy birthday and all the very best for the years ahead. 

And as for actions I just heard that Hardees is now open at the back of your house! Do I see some burgers coming our way, tonight? :D

Luv and xoxo, Aaich!

It’s a strange feeling! You are almost ashamed as Rihanna would say (btw her new single is really kool, nah?!) You know what is wrong and you cannot exactly point out where. Right?


And then when you seek advice you are given ample reasons to retrospect, though not sure, if this self-discovery itself is a good thing or a bad one.

It’s supposed to my life and I should be calling the shots. Things ultimately will change, as change is the only constant (as management gurus would like to reiterate). The uncle in the white robe said 3 moths, 6months and for some rare cases never! Why?? Has he discovered it wrong, did I lie or something else.

Life goes on, or this is what you would like to console yourself with. And then suddenly all the flash back and all the signs! I am convinced that somethings never end, they become immortal only because they were mortal. They go on forever perhaps only because they ended.

Adieu, Aaich!
