Happy Friendship Day

We all celebrate the first Sunday of August of every year as Friendship Day but have we ever thought about what actually friendship is? I'm sure many of you would say that friendship is the relationship we have with our friends. Is it really that simple? Let's see!

After our family, friends are the most important people in our lives. They are the ones with whom we share both our joys and sorrows. They are the people who help us through our toughest times and they are only the ones who laugh at our stupid problems but at the same time bring us out of them. There certainly can never be enough said about these crazy people in our life.

They often say, "In friendship, no sorry no thank you." Everyone believes that friendship is a relationship without any formalities and it is. Very true but what is also true is that we often take our friends for granted. For me, thanking or apologising to a friend is not being formal but making the other person feel how important they are to you. In friendship, every small gesture of concern and gratitude should be remembered forever. These small gestures are what makes this relation so beautiful.

There are always a huge number of pranks and jokes which we share only with our friends. These are those special moments which bring a smile on our face whenever we remember them, even in the hardest times. Many times we do fight with our friends, but then the joy of a patch up is priceless. If you treasure your friends, never let your ego ruin your friendship and never hesitate to apologise. Sometimes it so happens that our parents or siblings don't like a particular friend of yours, don't over react in this situation. I don't say that you leave your friend or start fighting with your parents just to keep your friendship. Do listen to your parents of course but at the same time keep your relation a balanced one. Try to understand why your parents are feeling the way they do and don't let their fears become true.

There is one small thing about which we need to be careful while making friends which is their ability to influence us. Make as many friends as you can, choose the ones you get along with best as your close friends but don't let this friendship be your top most priority of your life. It should not happen that your friends get to make you do whatever they wish. Don't ever lose your individual identity just to please your friends. If these people can't accept you the way you are, they can't be called your friends.

In the end, all I wish to say to ALL my friends is "THANK YOU!" Thank you for always being there by my side. Thank you for bearing my hot temper. Thank you for just being you. I also want to apologise for those large number of mistakes I have made. I would urge all those who are reading this to just call or msg all those friends who mean to you and for once, tell them how much you value them. Friends are the blessings of our lives. Never refrain yourself from telling them that you love them so much. I know we don't need a single day to celebrate our friendship but anyway Happy Friendship Day Everyone!

I Love You All Guys!
Please Be With Me Always

Dil se mere dur na jaana. Tum meri zindagi, tum meri ho khushi

Protection or Prison

  Under the guise of safety  We keep our doors closed Merely imagining the world beyond We accept to be forever entombed What we fail to recognize Is that we are our own prison Limiting our own powers We have given up our own freedom What started as protection Has now become a jail That which we are so afraid to break out of That which has become our excuse to fail   The reality is not what we believe Rather, we can actually take charge Change the direction our destiny takes And break free from the tower so large -Tamrina

The Evolving Lyrics of Life

I often say music is the sound of the soul and basically equivalent to oxygen for me. I know it sounds like a cliché but hear me out. All my life, starting from as early as I can remember, music has been my constant companion: in my joys and sorrows, smiles and tears, greetings and losses, it has been an integral part of almost all of my core memories. It inspires me, holds my hand when I am alone and even makes me make sense of my complicated emotions when I am unable to. Something similar happened a couple days ago and I want to talk about it.   Chaahe jo tumhe poore dil se, milta hai wo mushkil se. Aisa jo koi kahin hai, bas wo hi sabse haseen hai. Uss haath ko tum thaam lo, wo meharban kal ho na ho I am sure a majority of you have heard these lines many times and we all have our own interpretations of them, I did too. My understanding of these lines emphasized how we should embrace the love that walks into our lives and hold on to it as it is a rare thing to find but also, we m...

My 2024 Wrapped

  I have contemplated writing this post, wondering if I am really in a mood to travel back down the memory lane and explore the year I had. But here I am, reflecting on what all went down in the last year, just as a way for myself to document my journey through the chaos. I started 2024 in a not so good mood, with dealing  emotions that were just too heavy to be explained in words or even understood, from feeling lost and alone to at the same time feeling guilty about letting down the people who cared for me, it was a complicated beginning. Then came a happy moment when I attended my first ever concert, something I desperately wanted to do. On the work front, I continued my MPhil journey, learning things I assumed I wouldn’t be able to do and finding ways to accomplish my goals in ways that were interesting to say the least. Feelings of being overwhelmed and not doing enough for my goals were a near constant, often to the point of being counterproductive. I learn...
