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

Ten Years

There is an interesting thing we all like to do in our life and that is commemorate dates. Whether it is birthdays, anniversaries, he or she day we met someone for the first time but also, the day we lost someone dear to us. On the one end, the remembrance gives us joy and a chance to celebrate and on the other, they are an opportunity to think about that special person, often through teas and wonder, if things could have been different. As humans, it is our nature to assign meaning to things; whether it is the changing of seasons, that breaking of a glass or even, our own suffering. Why do we do that? It is to find some sense of order in this chaos of a world. Similarly, attaching that special meaning to some days gives us a break from the mundane. It allows us to take a breather from everyday routines and shuffle things up a little bit. I once read somewhere that grief is the love we feel for someone once they are gone and maybe this is why we remember them extra on particular da...

We Win Some, We Lose Some and We Snooze Some

A while back, a close friend had told me that my life would always be interesting because I have a passion and a dream to fulfil it, which translates to me always having something to fight for. This statement has stuck with me, especially in my low times because it is very true. When things get tough, I think about the destination I have set for myself and it gives me the strength to overcome the obstacles in my path. Something that I have come to realize very recently though is irrespective of the journey a person chooses to embark in life, there are many battles that each of us has to fight. And despite our best efforts, we win some, we lose some and we snooze some. Now the first two is pretty self-explanatory and the reality of life and circumstances but the third option is what I wish to share with you today. For some people, life is a constant uphill battle; it could be due to a social disadvantage, financial challenges, belonging to a marginalized group, intrapersonal struggles,...
