Wishes Tied To A Tree...

In India, there's a ritual, where, sometimes when people go out to some religious place, they wish for something and tie a piece of cloth to a tree. They believe that by doing this, they'll get what they wished for.. And if such happens, then they return back one day, at the same place and untie the cloth.. Well, its obvious that finding that same old cloth from all the others is not possible, so they untie any one of them.. To be true, i never saw anyone untie a knot.. I don't know if it even works or not.. Well, i'm not that much of a religious person, but, i would like to try it out once. And, i don't think it'll work anyways, as people say that we need to have faith in it, and i don't have that. But, i'll try.. 

Well, I suddenly came up with such topic because today, i went out with some of my friends to visit one of such religious places, and i saw a banyan tree which had infinite number of cloths tied to its body and branches. I just stood there and stared at those pieces. The thought that I was not just looking at some piece of cloths, I was looking at the wishes of millions of people, was creepy and gave me goose bumps.

But, well, as people say, religion is something we believe, and it differs from people to people. So, let's just leave it to its place... :)

Something Lost, Something Found...

It all started when I was in high school, Senior year.. Everything was going great. Cutting classes to go to gaming pubs, getting punished intentionally, just to stand outside the class to see the girls of junior classes, and all the other stuffs that all average senior high school boys do. It was fun. Until one day, I caught a glimpse of a girl from the junior classes. She was new in school. She was short, may be 5.4/5, and was wearing tight blue jeans, an Iron Maiden t-shirt and a red converse. Her hair came right down her forehead, and went behind the right ear.. In one word, A Perfect Girl.. It was as if I was looking at an angle.. At that time, I was emotionally broken due to some bad events earlier. But, that girl, was something else.. I wasn't able to stop thinking about her the whole day..

So, the next day, I took one of my friend and went to find her.. I searched every class, but she was not there.. And then, a girl suddenly called out the name “Amy”., and, as I turned around,  she just passed by me. And, I stood there without a word.. And I don’t know why, but, I didn't get the courage to go up to her and talk about my feelings..

And then began my mission, “Mission Amy”.. I had a hard time with that mission. I became friends with one of her friends, who was co-incidentally my neighbor. Had to give her treats or take her out once a week,( as her family was very strict on letting her hang out with friends but, allowed me  as they knew me very well..), just to make her talk to Amy.. She was a total “Pain In The Ass”.. But, finally, she talked..

The next day, that girl gave me the news that I was desperately waiting for. Amy agreed to talk with me and she wanted me to go down to a coffee shop after the school ends. I was excited, and went there as soon as the classes were over. Waited there for nearly two hours, but she never came.. I can never explain how bad it felt..

Later on, next day, her friend gave me a devastating news. She left the town as her dad got transferred to another state and she had to go with him..

Well, I had her number but she changed it. So, I never got the chance to talk to her, never got the chance to express my feelings.. Eventually, I lost her, The Perfect One. But, during that mission, I found something very precious.  A good friend. “The girl next door.”.. And She's still a Pain in the ass, but, we are best friends now..  J

** Amy is not the real name. It was changed for some personal matters..

So, How was my Senior year Story..?? Did you like it..?? Do comment..!

WHAT IF..?? And WHY..??

What if..?? And why..??, These are the words in English language which sometimes keep us thinking.. They play games with our minds.. Well, the thing I’m about to write is silly and of no use at all, but, if you read it, you won’t stop thinking about it..

Let’s start.. Well, have you ever thought of “why this. Why that”, or, “what if this, what if that”.. ??, Such thoughts normally come when we have nothing to do (like me, right now).. It comes across our mind at some point.. You just can’t deny it.. For example, thoughts like “Why is it called tide, why not wave? ” , “What if I were a bird??”, ,etc.. These thoughts are some stupid and silly thoughts that can never have an answer or meaning, but, can keep you busy for a long time.. And, I personally, find such thoughts cute, specially, when a girl tells me or asks me something like that..

What do you say guys..?? Ever had such silly thoughts?? Do comment.. :D

My moment before death..

Well, I've always been thinking one thing.. And i guess this thought comes in everybody's mind at a point of time.. "How does it feel at the last few moments before death..??" .. This is a kind of question that has various different answers.. But none will totally satisfy you.. Well, I've faced that moment once in my childhood.. It was scary, but at the same time, peaceful.. I'm sure many of you are thinking "Why suddenly this topic..??" .. To be true, i don't know.. I guess its because one of my closest friend died few days back and last night, one of my favorite teacher passed away... and, i got both the news today.. So, it felt kind of odd, strange and sad.. And, i didn't know what to do, so, thought that, writing about something might help.. Anyways, lets move on with my topic.. When i was 12, i had a bit of an accident. I wanted to learn swimming. So, i got enrolled in a swimming club. It was my second day in the pool.. And, i was not supposed to get in without an instructor.. But, i did.. And, that's when i realized my mistake. Suddenly, i slipped.. I closed my eyes for a moment, and when i opened it, it was water everywhere, and i was struggling to get out, but was not able to.. I was not even able to breath.. It was scary.. 

But, few moments later, everything went silent. I was able to see things, but was not able to understand anything. Suddenly, all the people i loved or cared about, flashed in front of my eyes.. I stopped struggling.. It felt so peaceful, that you can't even imagine.. I guess, that was my moment before death.. But then, when i opened my eyes, i was out of the water and my instructor stood in front of me asking me if i was okay or not..I stood there in a shock for a while. Then, went out without saying a word.. It was odd for me at that age. But now, i know. 

Well, i guess this is how it feels before someone dies.. Scared but, Peaceful.. So i think, my friend and my teacher are at peace right now, wherever they are. I just wish i had the chance to say good bye to them for the last time.. "Will miss you guys" .. R.I.P.. 

Well, here ends my blog for today.. :)
