Waiting For Snow

Tonight it was going to snow
I force myself to stay awake until it does
I sit by the window and stare outside 
Looking closely in order not to miss the snow fall 
So far no snow
Only rain, only more rain
And disappointment 
It’s 3 am 
I go back to bed
Only to jump out instantly and look out the window again 
No snow still 
I go back to my bed disappointed yet again 
I do this until I become too tired to do it again 
I lie on my back 
Slowly drifting into slumber 
With the hope, that morning will be white and magical
When I wake up 
The first thing I do is go to the window to see what I waited for all night, 
To see what I missed all night.











Alas, no snow. 
T'was a false alarm 
The kind my heart gave me when I thought it was love,
But it was only nothing.  
Maybe I sat by the window all night to see the snow fall 
Maybe I was waiting for something that my heart wanted 
Like always, I ended up going to bed disappointed 
Not in the snow 
Not in the rain 
Not in the weather
But in myself, because I fell for the things my heart wants 
Yet again 
Time and again 
Oh heart, when will you learn..
The snow only falls when you least expect it to.

7 Things Girls Need to get Right

Disclaimer- This piece is a personal opinion and should not be taken as a remark on anyone. The readers are requested to not be offended since I mean no offence at all. And if you end up being offended, the writer is not to be blamed. Thank you!  I have seen a lot of girls previously but thanks to my college, I now see hundreds of them each day. And analyse them. After so much analysis and observation, I finally discovered some things that ladies and girls need to improve upon and get right. Read on.  1. Wax the underarms  So this is a big big turn off for most people. Girls, you may wear sleeveless tops and dresses but know that we don't like to see the bushy region in your armpits that you least proudly show off. Ensure that you are perfectly waxed or have negligible growth the next time you decide to wear something with no sleeves. There's enough hair on your head, we don't need any more to admire.  2. Plastic straps   If the government was cons...

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...

My First Year of College

First, let me take a deep breath. Whoa! It's been one year since college began and although, it hasn't been as exciting as it looks from the outside, it's not been that bad, either. Infact, It's not even half bad. So, I'm a student of DU who was enrolled under the hastily introduced FYUP which would hold a rather debatable expansion; Four Year Undergraduate Programme or F*ck Yourself Undergraduate Programme. But, let's leave it to that. The termination of this new system came as hurriedly as its implementation, and so we are back to being students of the Three Year Undergraduate Programme.                                    Anyhow, apart from being treated as the official guinea pigs by the Great Indian Education System, there has been a lot to it. Basically, I'm going to talk of how my first year of college has been like. You may or may not exactly relate to it since it is an entirely pers...
