A few rules to live by :)

When Things Get Better Than Normal. :')

The beautiful sights make me smile, the beautiful things in life make me happy. Those stupid jokes make me laugh and those stupid memories, they make me cry (because I laugh that much, of course.).

Well, a few days back, my life got back to normal, things fell into place. There were a few twists and turns and now, I've been taken to a world that is beyond amazing. Things here, are better than normal. What goes around, comes around. After every storm, comes a rainbow. Who ever knew that all these sayings are true? Who ever knew that true happiness actually did exist, even though temporary. But it is the sad things that make us realize the value of the small but priceless happy times, isn't it?

Well, here's to the significance of ups and downs in life :) 

Again.

Hands over my head thinking, 'What else could go wrong?'

Would've stayed in bed, how can a day be so long?

Never believed that things happen for a reason

But how this turned out, removed all my doubts,

So

 That for you I'll do it all over again,

Do it all over again

All I went through, led me to you,

So I'd do it all over again, for you.

I missed the first train, stood out in the rain, all day

(Little did I know) When I caught the next train,
There you were to sweep me away,

Guess that's what I've waited for.

Never believed that things happened for a reason

But how this turned out, removed all my doubts, 

So

 That for you I'll do it all over again,

Do it all over again

All I went through, led me to you,

So I'd do it all over again.

Oh, who ever thought a day gone so wrong,
Would turn out so lovely?

I'm so glad I found you

Even though the day went so wrong,
I wouldn't change a thing,

I'd do it all over again

Do it all over again

All I went through, led me to you

So I'd do it all over again

I'd do it all over again 

Do it all over again 

All I went through, led me to you 

So I'd do it all over again.

Who ever thought a day gone so wrong, could turn out so lovely?

Who ever thought a day gone so wrong, could turn out so lovely?

So much for my Happy Ending!

Yes, Happy Dance! :D

So well, do you know that amazing feeling? When a new year brings along happiness, good luck, a million other good things and most important, a lost friend, who you thought would never return?

Yes, I'm happy. I'm very happy. Not only because I got my best friend back, but because we've forgotten all our differences and started over new. Not only because I actually realised how much she cares about me, but also because I'm happy that she's happy now.


I love you.
I won't ever leave you again. EVER.

Schadenfreude.

Respect yourself enough to walk away from anyone or anything that no longer grows you, serves you or makes you happy.

If they misunderstand everything you do and say, let them go. If they treat you indifferently, let them go. There's like seven billion people in this world and you don't need them if they make you feel miserable and schadenfreude out of your sufferings. It's okay if you're alone for a while. It doesn't mean your lonely and it surely doesn't mean that you can't start over again.

It is said that  living everyday of your life is like writing every action of yours on a paper with ink. You can't erase things once written, but it doesn't mean you should regret about what's you've already written. If they forget the one million good things you've done for them because of just one mistake, they aren't worth the pain you're going through. So start writing the story of your life once again, on a new page, start a new chapter. Stand up again, start again. Even if it means from the very beginning. Show them that you aren't suffering, give them the pain they gave you by showing them that you're stronger.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
– Steve Jobs

Time Machine.

Yes, that was just what she needed. And as it stood right before her, she couldn't believe her eyes. It was a time machine. She slowly walked towards it and as she did, she thought of all that she was going through. Her life was shattered. She had lost everything and everyone she had. The only  ray of hope she had been holding on to slowly faded somewhere in the darkness and left her all alone. She saw all her loved ones screaming at her for something she'd never done. She watched as all of them walked away one by one and soon, she broke down.

'The time machine was the only solution now', she thought to herself. But did she want to go back in time and undo what she'd done or would she rather make sure she never made mistakes? As she finally bid today goodbye, she went to the future, thinking she'd learn to stand up again and start afresh, tomorrow. 

Smile.

Smile. Show the world that you're stronger. Stronger than what you were yesterday.

Dream big. Never let others bring you down. Do what you want, achieve what you can. Grow everyday. Make mistakes, learn new things.Value things, good and bad. Let people come into your life and more importantly, if they aren't worth it, LET THEM GO. Don't depend on anything else but yourself. Let your only competition be the person you see in the mirror. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. The whole world is in your hands, you can do what you want, as long as you BELIEVE. Work hard, do whatever you can to fulfill your dreams.

So what if someone important isn't a part of your life anymore? So what if something you wanted didn't turn up the way it expected? Things in your life are shattered? You think there isn't any way out of this mess? There is. Pick up your worn out tools and start again. Use the bricks that they throw on you to build a castle.  Make sure you don't repeat mistakes again. It may sound simple, but it isn't. And that's what makes you stronger. Whining about what happened isn't gonna get you anywhere. People will remember how you had the courage to stand up again and smile, not how you cried and whined about it and ruined the rest of your life.

Everyone sees ups and downs in life. Everyone sees that phase in life where nothing favors them. Most people end up getting devastated. But it's time you strive to be one of those different people who deal with tough questions that life puts across. Use them as opportunities to be better people, to achieve something far beyond thought. This is what most successful people do, if I'm not wrong. They aren't perfect either. They have problems too. But what makes them different is that when they are shattered, they pick up all they have and start again. They believe, they move on. They show the world that small losses don't affect them. They smile.

Unexpected.

Life is uncertain. Your yesterday may have been horrendous, but you never what today has in store for you. Today would've been the best day of your life, but you never know what happens tomorrow. Time decides how everything around you is going to be- The problems you're going to face, the warmth that you will receive from others, the people you're going to meet, what you're going to be doing and that in turn affects what actually happens in your life.
Time gives you what's best for you. She gives you rain so you know the value of sunshine. She gives you sunshine right after rain and shows you the rainbow. People come, people go. But some people stay. They may not be beside you for life, but they'll always be on your mind. Some may change you, some may help you discover yourself.

My yesterday was shattered. I was lost and out of place. But yesterday, he came into my life and gave me new direction. It's been just a while since I know him now and whatever others think or say, we're probably meant to be this way- to fool around like studs. And that's what we do. We trust each other, we meet, we talk sh*t, we talk about people. We laugh, we cry, we share stuff. We write, we relate. We're stupid, we're crazy. We keep repeating stuff again and again. We do shit, we have similar crazy ideas. We live life to the fullest. We're similar. 
And that's what I needed all this time, I needed someone like me. Someone I could pour out my heart out to, someone who'd laugh at the things I do and not call me weird. Someone to accept the fact that we are a little weird and life's a little weird and so it's okay to be weird. Someone to be with me when I try new things for the first time and give me company while I do. All those times I tried new things for the first time would have never ever been fun without him. So many memories, so much advice and those endless conversations. Things would have been so incomplete without him. Studs forever B).

The Best I've Ever Had

Ever had that one friend who you met unexpectedly? Yet they've become so close to you. Someone who's been there for you through thick and thin. Someone whom you trust with your eyes wide shut. Someone you can always depend on. Someone who's always got your back. Someone who's shoulder is always there for you to cry on. Someone whom you can call YOUR best friend.

It's been almost about sometime that I've known her but yet she's been with me through my most craziest memories. She's seen me through my best and worst, she's been with me through so many 'First time I ever did's. She's helped me out with numerous 'ups and downs' situations and laughed at the stupidest things. We've done so many crazy things ourselves in fact. We've seen so many days of fun as well as sorrow. Looking back, I cannot imagine my life without this girl now. It's been almost a year and she's a big part of my life.

Thank you so much, love. Life would've been so hard without you. I love you so much, you have new idea:*

Nothing Lasts Forever.

 They were so close, yet they felt so far away. They hardly spoke to her anymore unless she initiated it (or of course when they had work), but when they spoke to her, the words they said pierced through her like a million thorns. And those scars? They never heal. She missed the perfect days. Days when people couldn't live without her, days when all her friends revolved around her. Days when she didn't sit alone in the recess and wonder how things changed so fast.

No, they didn't hate her. Things just changed. She ain't the center of attraction anymore and that's what keeps annoying her. No matter in what company she is, that feeling of inferiority brings her down and she can't stand it. There are times she breaks down, sitting all alone in her room at a time where she'd be rather shopping with her 'girlfriends' once upon a time. There are times she spends hours consoling her friends about stuff in their life where no one knew what was going on in hers. She has tried endlessly to console herself, but in vain. 

She seems perfectly fine on the outside with that pretty face, curly hair and beautiful smile. Like anyone in the world knows about the tears she sheds every night for people who she used to know. People she used to know. People who used to love her. People who used to know everything about her. They seem so far away now.

But change is inevitable. Times change, people change. And she's only left with memories. And ofcourse, that fading ray of hope that things will get back to how they used to be. But deep inside, she knows they won't. Its slipping away, and deep inside she knows it can't last. But she's still holding on, still trying her best. Sacrificing everything she has, just to get back what she once had. But little does she know, nothing lasts forever.  

So many things, so less time.

Okaaay. So I'm sorry I haven't posted anything since long.

There is SO much going around me in SUCH less time! I've finally began to experience how things change when you don't expect them to.
I've been surrounded by lies almost all these weeks and I've finally done a lot of research and come up with how you can deal with lies people you come across tell you.
So here's the top five ways I found to deal with liars:

1. IGNORE. Okay, unless this makes a big difference, or puts you into trouble. It may only be 'white lies', but everyone tells lies or in other words, 'omit the truth' sometimes. So chill out. If they're just small lies, everyone has times in their life where they lie, so just avoid it.

2. Learn to find out if someone lies. It's really easy to find out if they're talking to you face to face, especially when they avoid eye contact or speak at a faster rate or behave a little awkward or generally fidget around with their hands or feet. Make sure you confront them there and then, that too firmly so that they don't get an opportunity to change what they may have said.

3. Analyse. If they lie once, let it go. If they keep lying let them go. Or if you can't, at least find out why they're doing so. It can also be that you're wrong on your part, so analyze the problem, talk it out to them and then decide what you're gonna do about it.

4. Decide. Decide what you're gonna do about this and think carefully. Don't make mistakes here, think it out with a cool mind. Sometimes things can get serious, so if you're a kid you can probably tell an adult about this. Deal with the problem coolly and take things one at a time. DO NOT BE IN A HURRY.

5. If you are an individual who realizes that you've began to lie a lot, find the root cause to your problem. Tell  someone you can trust about this problem and make restrictions for yourself so that you begin to control this habit before if goes to far.
Don't underestimate yourself. Everyone has problems and every problem has a solution. So be strong, believe :).

You have to open your 'real eyes' and 'realize' the 'real lies'.

A few life hacks (;

It is said that life isn't a bed of roses. But that doesn't mean it's a bed of thorns either. Let me get this straight, Life is NOT a bed - neither or roses nor thorns. One CANNOT afford to rest in life, so we can't really call it a bed. Even when you're sleeping, your heart still beats, your lungs still breath, your mind still thinks and the world around you goes on.

The truth is: Life is hard and the only thing you can do about it is set a few rules which make your life easier- not by changing things around you, but changing yourself. I'm not talking about becoming someone completely different, I'd want you to bring about a few voluntary changes that would help you to have a more positive outlook towards life.

You can just follow certain rules- use sensible, or rather, systematic shortcuts which would automatically ensure a tension and stress free life.

1. Plan out your goals for the day- Jot down a few things you'd want to achieve in the day. Prioritize and finish them one by one and carry the ones you cannot finish to the next day and make sure you complete them first
2. Wake up and sleep early- Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Sleeping well boosts your energy and gives you the potential to give in your best throughout the day.
3. Use your free time to do something creative- Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple once said, 'Creativity is just connecting things', Whether means playing your guitar or painting a masterpiece or watching your favorite movie for the millionth time or doing whatever, just do it. Creativity is the essence of life. So go ahead, pick up that toolbox from that dusty shelf and make a masterpiece :D
4. Clean stuff around you in the rest of your free time- It keeps your house neat as well as gives you something to do. It maybe a bit boring at first, but it's surely useful.
5. Earn your own money- That way you aren't indebted to anyone and you'd get a sense of responsibility and independence. You won't have to answer anyone as to how or where you spent the money because its your own hard work.
6. Only comment when you're asked to do so- This makes sure others don't get offended and you kind of stay away from drama in your life.
7. Visit blogs that interest you at least once a day- Keeps you refreshed and updated. Guess that's all I can say. :x
8. Move on- Sometimes that's all you can do when things don't work out. Life's full of opportunities, so learn to forgive, forget and move on.
9. Risk it all and try new things- Learn to take risks. Life isn't fun otherwise. But at the same time, know the difference between mistakes and risks.
10. Be honest, always- That way you don't have to remember what you said. And be straight forward. I'd rather want someone to tell me the truth rather than to make excuses, won't you?
11. Prepare for everything a night in advance- That way you get a few minutes of extra sleep time next morning and you won't have to forget something in a rush.
12. Walk a lot- I mean it. A LOT. It is scientifically proved that brisk walking at least an hour a day prevents so many diseases and keeps your health intact. It also adds years to your life and kick-starts your mood.
13. Write down your commitments somewhere you'd see them everyday so you won't forget- It helps you to do your work without forgetting before deadline.
14. Ask- For help, advice and if you're not sure about something. You're never gonna know unless you ask. So go ahead and askkk.
15. Do one thing at a time- And always give in your best. Focus on one goal at a time so that things are easier.
16. Keep a USB and a few more things in handy- You never know when your hair gets messed up or when you need something from your friend's computer. Plan out a list of things that you think are essential. Cosmetics, a deodorant, writing material or whatever you think is useful. Put those things in a small bag and carry it with you where ever you go.
17. Keep yourself organised- Best way to make your life simpler.
18. Stay out of other people's life- Helping them out is okay. Getting involved in their lives is not. Live your life independently and let them do the same.
19. Smile- And if you do, smile more often. Everyone looks beautiful when they smile (:
20. Try replacing cold drinks with water or coconut water- They aren't harmful and are very very refreshing. You don't need cola or soda when you're thirsty. You need water.
21. Exercise everyday- Whether you think you need it or not, its always better to keep yourself flexible and healthy.
    
    -That's all for noww.
