Never Again - A Lesson

Experience, my friend, is the best teacher. Time, equally so. My parents tell me that I don't need to make the same mistakes that they made, in order to learn. So, I make mistakes of my own, then regret making them and take lessons from each one of them. So, here goes.

  1. Don't let anyone treat you like their booty call. You're definitely not it. Unless you believe in that kind of a thing, then you might as well be one, I guess. There are far better things you can be, than a booty call for some jerk. Most importantly, don't be your ex's booty call. Period.

  2. Never give in to lust. It always screws things up. For you, to say the least. They say, lust is one of the deadly sins; today I understand why. It will destroy you mentally, steal your piece of mind and wreck you emotionally. It is not everybody's cup of tea. Don't say you weren't warned.

  3. Do not tolerate nuisance. Not from anyone. Make sure the line is never crossed. What's off limits, should remain so, come what may. Do not tolerate any kind of humiliation or insult. Pay back, always. It's never okay to be a submissive. Take shit from no one. Not even yourself.

  4. Maintain a level of self-respect and dignity, even if it comes to the worst. Nobody will respect you if you don't respect your own self. And learn to leave from the table, when respect is no longer being served.

  5. Do not believe everything people say. Believe everything they do. As much as I am a lover of words, they can and do deceive. Understand people's intentions from their actions.

  6. Leave the past where it should be - in the past. Make peace with it. Don't spend too much time thinking what was and what should have been. What happened 10 years ago or 10 minutes ago, it doesn't matter now. What matters now is now. Make that count.

  7. Be stubborn, be bold, be rigid. Don't give up before you get what you want. Don't let anything get in the way of you and your goals. Do not let anyone take your dreams away from you. Hold on tight, you're so much stronger than you think you are.

  8. Do not compromise. Do not settle for something that does not meet your standards. You deserve more than ordinary. Do not settle for a 2BHK flat when what you really want is a penthouse. Strive for it. It'll take time, but you'll get there eventually. Do not settle for mediocre, especially when it comes to sex and life - they need to be great!


  9. Say "Fuck off" more often and to those who have wronged you. They don't deserve to be a part of your life. Some people grow up to become mature adults, others grow up to become assholes. Fuck them and forget them. It's in your best interest to do so. And they probably don't care, so why should you?


  10. Last of all, never let anyone belittle you. You are magnificent, you are more than anyone could ever be. Invest in becoming great. Invest in spreading greatness. As for those who underestimate and despise you, they can bloody well fuck themselves. 


    Chin up, head high, smile, raise your middle finger and get on with life.

What's in a Date?

Okay so today we celebrate the last sequential date in this century, 11-12-13.  It's the last date with consecutive numbers to appear in the 21st century, but why the hype?  Did they forget that every damn date in this century will never repeat itself?  Or is this just another money-minting criteria adopted by hotels, hospitals, bars, wedding planners and pandit ji's to brainwash people's minds and inform them about the importance of this one date?  Why the craze to tie the knot on this so called 'auspicious' date? Why the craze to deliver babies on this day? Are you going to tell me that its a 'lucky' day and will make your marriage last a year more than mine? Or your baby will be born an actor or IITian? Or probably that the food at restaurants will be better today?  Hell, no. If love doesn't see person or time, why does it see dates? Ladies, If babies born on other dates can become Shahrukh Khan and Sachin Tendulkar, why the fuss about paining your bo...

Hope isn't just a word, unless it is shattered.

They say hope can lead to miracles, turn the impossible into possible but can it make the dead man alive? They say hope can be your umbrella in the downpour, they say hope can fix the leaks. But can it fix the leaks in your heart, the tears that kiss your cheeks?  They say hope can bring merry, they say hope can make you rich. But can it bring you joy?  They say hope fulfils desires, they say hope can win against hope. But can you hope against the despondence?  They say hope isn't just a word, really?  They say its more than a word.  Of course, it's a way of life.  Unless. Unless it is shattered.

..I Let Him Go

Tonight is no different.   I twist and turn in bed like every other night.   The events of the day run a recap through my subconscious mind.   Nothing special. I twist and turn as grief takes over. One quiet sob. And another. And another. Before I know it, my sister is awake, holding me tight, asking me what's wrong. She's 15. How is she supposed to understand the so-called problems of adulthood? What do I explain her?   So she just holds me close while I cry the heck out of me.   It's not the kind of crying that babies do. It's not the cry for milk or for a toy or for a video game, nor is it for a dress or a party.   It's over a guy. A lost love.   No, he wasn't my boyfriend and he never could be. There are more kinds of love that can blossom between a guy and a girl, than you think. This was one of those different kinds.   Simply because we were different - together and individually. I don't know why I cry over him but I ...
