You just dont know how to react to someone who tells you that your writing reduced them to tears… For that one moment when it happens for the first time you are totally speechless. You ponder if you need to say a few words and wonder if you have said enough already… You quickly lock up that moment in memory and move on…

Until one odd monday evening when you are walking alone and that moment flashes back from memory. And in an instant you understand what it means to have reduced someone to tears with your words… You know for a fact that it would have been possible only if they truly understood what you meant. And then there is a moment you truly understand the importance and futility of things… And wonder if you should have been the one showing the gratitude rather than the one receiving it.

When you were least expecting it hits you… Like something you had expected for years to happen and it did not occur. So when it did occur it was more like a miracle. Vindication for everything you believed in, offered in such a beautiful package, at such a wonderful time when you had just given up the dream… like it was all meant to happen… like a story had reached a climax.

The search began a long time ago, looked every which way… in places where you expected to find it and at times even in the most ridiculous of places. Searching for things you lost is so much more easier than for things you have never seen… and after repeated failures the thought slowly began to set in ‘maybe it does not exist’. I was at that phase almost a year ago…

Over time I realized that my search for it was my naive way for finding something which each and every one of us has thought about and felt that it is what is required. I guess my thoughts matured over this time and realized that finding it and what is symbolized was not important to me at all… This was when I decided to walk away…

There was a line from Lost which has stayed in my mind for a long time now, “The only way to find what you truly want is to stop searching for it.” The line is almost like a puzzle and once you have figured it out, every conquest in life becomes so much more easier. I heard this line only a few months ago and after yesterday I can say I believe in it absolutely.

So there I was yesterday ignorant of what the universe was bringing to me… I was so ignorant that it took me a few hours to fully contemplate and understand what was just given to me. Now that I do, all I want to do is thank… I will pass my gratitude to the carrier of this ominous message which has in its own way rejuvenated my vitals and made me fall in love with life even more(if that was possible)

…And then I saw her face,
Now I’m a believer…

I will never ever have to use that statement ever again (not like I use it that often )…

Let me start on Friday when I took a leave from office as my cousin was getting engaged…

Briefly: Went to HSR Club for my Cousins engagement… A tractor’s tyre exploded as it was going past my parked Santro, the impact of the explosion threw up stones that destroyed(yes, destroyed) the rear glass of my car(pics after the link). The impact also resulted in my cousin’s car losing 3 of its windows.

The moment I knew that I will probably never forget Darjeeling was when I opened the curtians of my hotel room. The scene that greeted me is to the right.

This quote from my cousin near Tsango lake is a spectacular way to explain what we felt through out the trip. She said(to her mom) “Ma, I thought I would never touch the clouds but I even did that today…”

Words escape me as I try to sum up those feeling in words but one things for sure… This trip has been the most exciting 8 days of my life and I hv photos to prove it

Our journey started early Sunday(22nd May) morning…

“We are Indians… We are expected to be late”, “Its IST Indian Stretchable Timings”, “I thought you are going to be late too…” People those excuses are pathetic and nothing angers me more than a person who is late and never shows a bit of remorse about it.

Last weekend I had a bad experience with ppl being punctual… The incident left me really depressed and partially hurt…

I saw an old friend yesterday… Not seen her in like 8 months and all of a sudden she was walking past me… I was so surprised to see her that I was finishing a call and just stood there. I’m sure she saw me and she knew that I saw her but she just went past.

Things didn’t end on a right footing the last time we spoke and I never called her again or tried to reach her, save one email saying “happy birthday” a few months ago. The last mutual interaction made it clear to me that she was angry with me and I wont divulge into the reasons.

Its weird how you see someone from your past and almost every conversation you had with them happens again in ur mind… you then remember your best and worst moments and relive those old days again…
