songs// time

I watched Bridesmaids last night and it is easily one of the most lovable comedies i have seen in a while. But there was one song that gave me goosebumps. You know how you can relate to songs with different moments of time in your life; well this song takes me back to my childhood in Bangalore when it was a rage. I remember Priya swooning in delight whenever she played it on the tape and it's surprising that even know i can mouth the lyrics. So let me 'hold on' to those sweet sweet memories.

Nostalgia//Memory

"How small the cosmos (a kangaroo's pouch would hold it), how paltry and puny in comparison to human consciousness, to a single individual recollection, and its expression in words!"

"The nostalgia I have been cherishing all these years is a hypertrophied sense of lost childhood, not sorrow for lost banknotes."

"How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but - mainly - to ourselves."

WILL TRY; WILL NOT CRY

Delhi 2012

Independence (not freedom) and responsibility is what 2011 bestowed on me. It was the turning point from the dead-end of my life. There were detours and instances of falling off-the-track but with every twist and turn, i have steered myself back on track. The ride has been akin to being on a rollercoaster- up and down, round and round. But i was firmly strapped to my seat, feeling the surge of life rise within me. Delirious in bouts of glee; whilst drowning in moments of self-inflicted misery. But this shall not be, for 2012 is the year to just be.

Thoughts:

To reactivate this blog to make it a more engaging space for myself to grow and learn.  I do not want this blog to filled with leftover emotions, half-baked thoughts and any of that passive aggressive/depressive angst that i feel.
