.....AND I GOOFED UP AGAIN!!

For a few weeks now, I have been busy filling up admission forms of colleges, I  have filled up forms for some 19-20 colleges and the common link between all these forms are..... MY GOOF UPS!!.

As careless as I am, in all these forms I have left behind my goofy footprints.

In one form I entered my name as 'juhi ryo'(instead of juhi roy) and 'juhi yo' in some other. In the monthly income column ,I added a few extra zeros & made it look something like this '4,00,00,000 (yeah! I thought ratan tata will bear my college expenses).

in some other form, I signed as the principal (whosoever said about the proverbial 'mighty pen' was right afterall!)

the list of my 'oops' moments just goes on....

ticking the wrong gender, entering the wrong marks,writing 'indian' as 'bhindian' to name a few.

PS: After submitting such erroneous forms I just hope some college is kind enough to give me an admission.(any takers?? huh!?)

MAKE ME HAPPY HAPPY

When i was young,i loved viewing advertisements,i watched them religiously and with utmost interest. to me these ads were more engaging than the soap operas they sponsored.even now these ads please me like anything! they have a whole world of their own,were they sell 'happiness'. every advert is woven around the concept of happiness. how so& so beauty cream alters your entire persona and wuff!! from a dull plain jane you become a barbie princess overnight with a glowing and ever so growing smile on your face. the tag line of certain pizza joint is 'khushiyon ki home delivery'(so these people are not just selling happiness they are taking it one notch higher by delivering it on your doorstep!!). fashion brands show ads on how their clothes make you go all happie happie and classie classie.

but the million dollar question that i have pent up in my mind is do these things really make us happy? can happiness really be bought?

to me its partly yes and partly no. these things do make us happy and fuel our vain pride but it doest last for ever.it fades away sooner or later.the happiness dies as the object of our happiness grows old.

so after some extensive reasearch( thanks to google!) i have come up to the conclusion that actually our whole definition of happiness is faulty. we relate material possessions to being happy but in our naive glory we miss out on the fact that  happiness is not having the best of everything. if this were so then the richest people would have been the most happiest.

happiness is more so linked to our interior than the exterior. its all in our head. 
so just deep breathe look in the mirror and smile. some days to youRself. some days to others and sing along

" Because I’m happy Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof Because I’m happy Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth Because I’m happy Clap along if you know what happiness is to you Because I’m happy Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do''

DAYS GONE BY

the delhi heat glided through my skin and i lazily ,dreamy eyed oogled at the commuters who passed by. with every stroke of  the steering wheel, i was drifting far off from this place. my place.
i have spent my whole life over here,i am delhiite,a hard core delhiite( or so i presume), my 17 year long life at this place danced in front of my eyes, all memories passed me by, some sweet,some sour but all worth remembering! at this present moment i am reminded this song" it is a bitter sweet symphony thats life......."

MARRIAGE

He came with a  bouquet in his hands. 

she frailly smiled at his sight.

wiping his moist eyes,he went up.

slowly lifting her scarf,he kissed her balding head.

wrapping his fingers in her emaciated ones, he asked

"will you marry me?"

(this post is written  for five sentence fiction,the prompt word was marriage.)

WIDE EYED DREAMS

For the very first time in my life today I am not dreaming with my eyes close shut,I am wide awake for my dream that just doesn't let me sleep a wink. all my life I have dreamt,I  have lived in my own utopian world with the myriad imaginary chums that I created, never ever bothering to sneak into reality! I was happy with what I had, actually, I never ever tried to do anything but  today I feel this sudden upsurge of emotions gallore ranging from that ticklish feeling emanating from the pit , to that extra boost of zeal & exuberation in the head!.I am experiencing all of this for the very first time,as I am typing I  am smiling from ear to ear giving my idiosyncrasic metallic grin!! all for that very first wide eyed dream shimmering in my eyes.
