Hey everyone, here i am again, writing another post for my blog on a so called special day of the year. Yess...it's the day i came into this world, a day i'm getting another year older. But isnt it better to see it this way, that i've lived 21 years of my life?? Man..that's quite great isnt it? and hey....so what i'm a girl, i dont crib about everyone knowing about my age.
One thing i really like about my bday is everyone trying to call me sharp when the clock strikes 12. This time however, it was even more special because a really great friend of mine called me up as soon as the clock suggested its 12th of april, and sang Happy bday dear maddy.....and honestly, it made me feel real special and important. I could not thank him enough. And well, the calls started pouring in after that, though couldn't answer all of them. But hey, more than any gift or flowers or chocolates, this is what i value most, wishes from people i love the most in this world. My morning also started with me receiving many more phone calls and yes, you do feel great and important on atleast one day of the year. Even your parents do not stop you from listening to music at a soaring high volume. Anyways, now that the sun was shining bright and it was almost noon, i was still waiting for my friends. Nobody had called up till now and i was feeling so sleepy, felt like dozing off. But finally atleast somebody came, and it was Ashish. I was happy to meet him after quite a long time now and we even had a good talk after so many days. We both had nothing to do, so listened to some music, but then devyani and harsh came. And phewwww...the gift they got for me, they left me speechless for a while. I couldn't thank all four of them enough, though i was still waiting for aneesh to turn up. And was seriosly, surprised to see that aneesh, one of my best friends i have known for years now, came so late that we had to finish our lunch without him. I was a little surprised to see aneesh behave in a an indifferent way today. but what mattered to me was that, he came for me because he didnt wish to see me upset on my bday and i know he cared this much for me. So, now it was five of us, Anee,Harsh, Devs, Pranjal and ofcourse, the bday princess herself, ME( lol) and we simply spent quality time hangin around near Chanakya and then moving to Priyas. Finally, we came back to my home at 8 at night and uploaded all the pics we had clicked. We made fun of each other and bursted into laughter. All and all it was a good day and it was time to write this blog.
I will ofcourse remember this bday because my friends made it special for me, however, i will remember it also because some people, i thought to be my friends and who were quite close to my heart, forgot to wish me. I was still looking at the cell phone hoping it would ring now and would hear a voice wishing me at the end of the day. But it didnt ring and there i was, left a little wounded and hurt at the end of this so called special day. I made up my mind telling myself, that why should i be sad just because someone was so busy that didnt even have five minutes to call me up and wish me. Anyways, another 12th April is over now and it went off pretty well.
Now I'll try and get a good night's sleep.

Is it strange or is it just me?
Love is strange, isn't it? I know many people will not agree with me, and if you ask them about love, they will explain it as a wonderful ,heavenly feeling and what not. To be honest, a person like me has always seen love stories in either movies or they have simply remained juicy gossips to my ears.
During my school days, i always wondered what made many of my friends around me decide that they are in love. I always thought that these people have either prepared everything well in all subjects or they are not at all bothered about their career. A little bit more insight into the knowledge of science, especially biology, made me look for a logic and rationality into what people called a feeling called love. I thought its nothing but all about the hormones and their role in our body and mind. However, it doesnt mean that i was an orthodox or a self-obsessed individual. I was just a little too busy with being daddy's good little girl and never really wanted to be part of a gossip.
The mindset has eventually changed till this day. I feel like i have learnt a lot during the last one year, whatever might be the reason for that. I dont listen to the problems faced by my friends about their love lives as a mere gossip anymore and well, this feeling called love is really sacred and pure. I have come to associate love as something much more than a sweet little love story. It is because of this feeling that i have my wonderful family and my friends with me. I always used to ignore any love story involving me or related to me and infact still try to do, but you know what, i realize, it's not a crime. Though i am yet to understand the complexity of relationships, but may be these concepts are yet to be understood or never meant to be understood completely. Whatever it is, it still remains a mystery to me. However, i'm thankful to the person who unknowingly helped me share this thought of mine with everyone.

My 1st step towards blogging...
Blogging, its something i've been hearing a lot and reading a lot about these days. Some of my friends say it's the in-thing nowadays, while some others (who i think are quite wise and mature) suggested that instead of wasting my time chatting and surfing the net, simply because i've got nothing else to do, i should go ahead and blog. Honestly, i never really knew what exactly a blog is and infact, may be i'm still an amateur to blogging. But when a gentleman suggested me that the way i talk to him seriosly regarding certain topics, i can simply type them in and create a blog. And BINGO! here i am.... writing down my first ever blog.
However, a lot of thoughts again came into my mind while creating this blog. You know, I have been thinking quite a lot about which one is a better thing to do: Blogging i.e. using the internet as a platform to express yourself freely about just any damn thing in this world; or writing i.e. using a Diary to pen down your day to day thoughts about the tiniest of events in your life( & here i wish to be specific about writing down with a pen on paper & not typing on e-diaries). This thought simply came in my mind because life these days has become so dependent on a machine called computer, which we lovingly call our PC...which is supposed to be one of our lifelines these days, that we are slowly forgetting the value of pen and paper. My friends hardly gift a pen these days or even accept a pen as a gift. It seems like technology will overpower us so much that we might even forget our own handwritings after we get out of school, in near future. Anyways, that just seems too much of thinking isnt it? And that too by someone who ultimately has chosen blogging instead of writing. But still, if you happen to visit my blog, please feel free to give your opinion about E-blogging or Writing, which one is better?
Till then let me think about my second step towards blogging.
