Felt a little silly as I wanted to cry and smile at the same time wen i heard Rahul Dravid say " My approach to cricket has been reasonably simple: it was about giving everything to the team, it was about playing with dignity and it was about upholding the spirit of the game. I hope I have done some of that. I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying. It is why I leave with sadness but also with pride."

It is the spirit of failing, that is so human and never stop trying that is so beyond-human, that makes him a perfect role
model.

Rahul Dravid...You are awesum:-)...Would miss watchng u play for sure...

Time heals all...

They say time heals all...

Does it heal the bruises of a hasty decision? 

The ones that haunt you through day and night reminding you of things done and words said..

Does it heal the confusion of tough choices? 

When you know that either ways you hurt someone and may be they will never forgive you..

Does it heal the loss of unforgettable love? 

The one which filled your life with sense and broke your heart short after..

Does it heal the damage of unreachable dreams?

 When no matter how hard you try, it is just not enough..And you quit trying..

Does it heal the wounds of irreversible regrets? 

When you can’t get rid of what if’s and what could be’s ..

Does it heal the rifts of daily failures? 

When you fall and get up and fall again and again and again..And each time it is harder to get up..

Does it heal the bitterness of lies? 

The ones you believed in and the ones you said yourself..

Does it heal the injuries of broken trust? 

Lost friends? Loneliness?

They say time heals all.

Even i believe… time heals almost everything.. Just give time time!!!

don't expect life to change..learn to deal with it!!

What is with this world? More importantly, what is it with us??

Look around and I notice everyone is worried about something or the other...

Fat people wanting to lose weight...thin ones wanting to gain some...and then there are some who actively hallucinate and sulk!!

Dark skinned people wishing for a fairer skin tone...Fair skinned people yearning to get a tan....

Someone is worried about losing a job...someone yearning for a promotion....and someone dreaming of throwing a resignation letter and slamming the door to his bosses face....

Someone is waiting to fall in love while someone else waiting to fall out of it....

Someone is nursing a broken heart while someone too afraid to go that way....

Someone who has all the friends in the world and yet finds himself alone....

Each one of us, is afraid..is full with our own fears, our own insecurities....

But if i really give it a deep thought, we are actually wasting time...

Today i would like to give myself  little more of that confidence, a little more of that 'i dont give a damn' attitude...

And i seem to have found an easy fix-it solution...

The only way to help yourself is stop and think...is it worth it??

why are we soo worried? why are we soo insecure?

what is it that is making us panic?

and can we actually do something about it??

If u can, then don't sit there fretting...Get up now, and do what it takes to be done!

But if there is no apparent solution,Be who you want to be...and just Let go!! 

The treasure called nostalgia

I opened a treasure trunk with a heavy feeling...

some lovely memories neatly folded and stored...

a huge metal lock to safeguard it forever...

the key put in a sleek little casket...

the casket placed in a small wooden box...

the wooden box kept in a huge combination vault...

the combination consciously forgotten...

and yet, stolen glances at the trunk from time to time...

Bedtime stories...

Faded talks...

Deserted places...

Long lost friendships...

Secret stuff...

Awesome  friends...

Innocent love...

Million feelings...

Thousand thoughts...

the laughter...

the pain...

the happiness..

I'm not stuck in the past but unveiling the memories that are stuck in time...

trying reconnecting with parts i forgot...

about faces that smiled and frowned at me...

hands that hugged, cared and guided me...

simple fun that made me complete once...

remembering people who touched my life...

I'm missing the true moments that made me..

and so there are stolen glances at the trunk from time to time...

For the Moment...!!!

I also think a lot about prefect moments :)..Moments that you want to live and relive...Moments that you wait for so eagerly, maybe planning for them for a  long time, moments where absolutely nothing can go wrong..
But then if you wait too long for the perfect moment; Maybe the perfect moment will pass you by...!! So rather than waiting for the perfect moment...Take up any moment and make it just perfect :)...
Easily said; but me..I'm still trying, waiting for that perfect moment!!!

There are certain things which need to be expressed at that very instant when you thought of them...otherwise the moment just goes away and you don't feel like sharing it anymore..
Happens a lot with me... 
It is never deliberate...just, some moments get lost when ignored and try as hard you may try, you will never find them back!!!

Are u even listening??

Dear god,

you are supposed to be the 'Know All'... right??
then how on earth do u keep forgetting the simple fact that i'm just human!!
why do u keep forgetting you have my silent prayers to be heard!!
that you have my unlisted list of questions to be answered to!!!

Your truly,
Neha

Signs...!!!

Sometimes i ask myself do you believe in signs?

Those small signals which subtly hint whether things are to be or not to be...
The ones everyone around you can so clearly see and yet seem all blurred to you...
The ones we tend to ignore deliberately at times even if they are right there..staring at us...
The ones which constantly plays and replay on your mind...sometimes just freezing everything around you...
The ones you know you should acknowledge and yet ignore...

I'm just talking about signs..

Sometimes i am afraid of missing them...dreading what happens if i ignore them?

and then, how do we know they are actually signs?

couldn't a sign warning you of failure, be just something your heart fears?
couldn't a sign hinting of happiness, be just something your heart desires?
what if we are interpreting them all wrong?

Sometimes it is just a matter of how much you trust your faith??
