has it been a year already?????

the last year has been crazy n by crazy i dont mean staring-at-randomn-ppl-and-picking-out-one-hair-at-a-tym crazy but certified mental-institution-admittable crazy.wen u turn 18 ur lyf changes ,mine definetly did.this wasnt just any other year of my life, i probably learnt more in this year than evr before(well maybe i learnt a lot i was 1 crawling,farting ,eating,attempting 2 walk n falling in d process,laughing, ya i probably learnt more tht year) but anyways.the beginning was truth be told as dull as one of those family functions ur forced 2 go n evrybody around u is either old enuf 2 need reading glasses or yopung enuf 2 get away wid dropping all d food n still luking cute.my college lyf wasnt tht gr8, d travelling was finally getting 2 me and id just lost d zeal 2 do anythng apart from just continuing 2 be a part of d usual humdrum which had my parents having a more active social lyf than me, my sister enjoying in snow my building frnd going 2 3 college fests in a week n actually going on d stage,my frnds going in 4 jobs n actually getting their own pay packets in their hands. basically my life pretty much sucked.

and then buffalo happened.d thng is that it wasnt just a trip , n im so sure other than me it didnt affect any1 else who was a part of it or rather not as much as it did 4 me.it didnt just end there bt had a kind of a snowballing effect n only good thngs were 2 follow.thngs which wud change my outlook, change my perspective,change me. i finally came 2 know wat kind of a person i am,i know how dumb it sounds but i came 2 know myself.i still dont know wat i want from life and most of all where im heading but at least i know me. i know wat i am .at least i think i do

along wid tht i came 2 know lots more.so heres a list of thng i learnt this yr,probably d best yet

1)wen u r cold run 2 nearest loo n releive urself .i learnt it d hard way wen i had 2 walk in biting cold in d dark in d middle of a forest at 5 in d morning in my socks.

2)im a bloody narcissist i cant walk past a car widout luking in d mirror, my fav question is(n my frnds can testify 4 dis one)"hows my hair?" d thng is im not exactly apolegetic about it.just d way i am

3)u shud always speak up. i had an insane fear of public speaking n even more of speaking 2 ppl i didnt know.then one day the sun rose in the east n i realinsed tht no matter how stupid i sound no ones gonna eat me up for wat i say

4)i am hyperimpressed by ppl who can speak well.if an articulate serial killer wud cum along id probably first listen 2 him ramble bout his exploits n then run.

5)jogeshwari cums on both sides,so u can get down either of d two sides.but generally d right is better coz there are steps on d platform which u can use n cross d tracks.

6)life generally shit.it just depends wat kind of shit falls on u.crow shit during very good times,dog shit during times wen u ha a fight wid ur frnds , family etc,n elephant shit wen u r totally screwed up n dont know wat ur doing or wat u shud do in life.its just our job 2 wade thru d shit

7)western express highway at 1.30 am after a light rainshower in a taxi wid 4 of ur closest frnds is absolutely heavenly.

8)my legs r big .period.so i shud stop crying about d fact tht there r hardly any gud shoes out there or shoes which wud luk good on my feet n i shud accept it

9)ur cell can survive falls from d sofa or anythng which is less than 1 foot high.it cannot survive falls from the third berth in a train movina at a speed of more than 120km/hr n will promptly break n put u in a temporary state of utter n total helplessness n self loathing almost equal 2 wa is felt wen u lose one

10) 1st impressons shud not b the benchmark 4 recognising a person n ill b the first 2 say tht i do so myself i.e beleive way 2 much in 1st impressions.i myself ucm off as a rather proud know-it-all n am awful at recognising ppl 4 who they r.the ppl who i had previously thot of as completely hopeless n stupid turned out 2 be real gems.

11) i luv my bdays .i absoulutely luv them.i luv evrythn abou them.i luv th efatc tht every1 u know calls u tht day,u get gifts n generally its a really happy day for me.

12)i cant not talk. i need 2 most of the tym, the four hrs tht i spend travelling evryday r absolute torture.

13)beer is like kadva soda.champagne n wine r totally ok n no d kind of thngs u can get drunk on n start dancing in d rain

14)i shud write more often.im not remotely good at anythng so i shud do sumthng which i am at least comfortable doing

15)pasta is super easy 2 make n choclate cake isnt 2 tough either

16)its not possiblefor evry1 to like u or evry1 2 wnt d same thng.hav 2 learn 2 live wid it.

17)walking on d streets of new york n watching jhandus play basketball,streetside greek restaurants full wid families,ugly green buildings,n basically walking without a destination in mind is d best way 2 spend a day.btw i still cant understand a word of english i.e babban english(for the uninitiated wen african american ppl speak)

18)finally as my current fav song goes i want 2 find a way bac in 2 love .it may not happen this year or the year after tht ,but im willing 2 waitn if tht means seeing every1 n imean even ppl eons of yrs younger 2 me coothie cooing so b it.

so this is basically how my year was .i didnt get 2 donate blood (bloody hb is less),or do paragliding(i did do the trampoline-harness-jumping-thingie) but this is the tym wen i feel content i think theres no better thng than tht.
