Me: I get too attached to everyone and everything. Why doesn’t anyone care? Why can’t I just seek validation from myself?
Me: I don’t care about anyone or anything. They don’t matter. I can’t give a damn to those who don’t give a damn about me.
Month: October 2015
Why did you leave me
Why did you leave me?
When I needed you the most?
You made the sun shine brighter.
And made me a fearless fighter.
Why was it love at first sight?
You’re being mentioned in a post.
You inspired me to love me for me.
We were like sugar and green tea.
Why did you make me fantasize?
Of all the times I would boast,
About how perfectly we would fit.
We made the world’s greatest hit.
Why can’t I find you anywhere?
I’ve searched from coast to coast.
Where are you?
Oh, where are you?
My scarlet red top.
I need you so that my eyes will pop.
My figure-hugging top.
I love you because you’re not cropped.
My long sleeved top.
You were always a hit and never a flop.
My all time favourite top.
That was the best day, the day you were shopped.
My confidence-boosting top.
Now I’m forced to wear the boring top the colour of taupe!
Topped it
A taupe coloured top was at the top of the topper’s list of – ‘top ten places to shop for taupe tops to top the top-level exams and win the top prize of the top-grade ice cream with a hundred unique toppings’.
Atlas
We all carry the world on our shoulders,
Mental or physical, heavy as boulders.
The weight is completely crushing,
Knees on the ground, brushing.
The world rests like a crown,
Our faces marred into a frown.
We just want to get rid of it all,
So that life can again be a ball.
We just want to be ever-happy,
Not sad and overly-sappy.
The weight we carry isn’t the same,
We’re on different levels of the game.
We got to lose sometimes to rise,
Let go of those suppressed cries.
We’ve gotta keep moving on,
And take control of this life before it’s gone.
“Normal”
Normal is defined as being standard or usual. But honestly, who is normal these days? I haven’t met anyone normal all my life.
I’m not normal, my friends aren’t normal and neither are you, my dear reader. We’re all different in some way or the other, and since we’re all different, we’re all weird. Let me explain.
We all think different, act different, eat different types of food, and have different types of cultures. All of these factors contribute us to be different. Also, outer beauty plays a big role in the way we think. Some of us who are beautiful on the outside usual tend to be less beautiful on the inside. And the worst part is that, these peoples’ beauty is termed as the ideal standard of beauty. We don’t realise that outer beauty is just an undeserving gift bestowed upon us by our genes.
Why do we term some people as “weird”? Just because they have different preferences than us, they’re weird, huh?
According to me, they’re only two types of people in this world:
1)The Good weird
2)The Bad weird
1)The Good weird
These people are genuinely nice. They do have a few preferences that you don’t, but they don’t make fun of your choices. They respect everyone and everything. These people are the most uncomplicated. They only have one face. Not two. They’re true. And finally, these people change the world for the better.
2)The Bad weird
These people just cannot be nice. They always make fun of your preferences. They don’t respect you or your self-esteem. Unfortunately, they have two faces. And the one on the outside may be pretty, but the one on the inside certainly isn’t. They’re the definition of the word ‘False’. And finally, these people change the world for the worse.
So finally, if you ever come across a person who’s ‘weird’, just take a few steps back and decide whether that person is ‘good weird’ or ‘bad weird’.

I’m done. I’m just done.
I tried to make you like me,
But what I couldn’t see,
That I couldn’t change you,
The same way I can’t change me.
There’s no point in trying,
I’ve spent all this time crying,
Being truthful to you,
When you kept on lying.
I was just so insanely keen,
But you were just so mean,
I cannot be with you,
‘Cause you’re a two-faced “queen.”
I was hooked like stupid bait,
I thought it was a lovely fate,
The times spent with you,
But now I can’t even hate.
I don’t have a claim over you,
No more time to be wasted on you,
‘Cause I’ve gotta work on me.
‘Cause I just can’t be like you.

I want to get better.
I know I’ve gotta do something,
To change my thinking,
To be great at anything,
I know I’ve gotta be that something.
But I don’t want to,
I don’t want to be you,
I wanna be my own pit crew,
But I do want to.
I don’t want to be just ‘someone’,
I want to learn and have fun,
This is not over and done,
I want to be the ‘someone’.
How does everyone perfectly know?
The way to use the arrow and bow,
The correct way to knead the dough,
I want to know what they know.
I’ve gotta be absolutely amazing,
To not be just an unknown ‘who’,
I’ve gotta be that special one,
My curiosity needs to expand and grow.
Twilight has returned.
A few years ago, the teenage girls and moms of the world, well, mostly teenage girls, had been introduced to the world of ‘Twilight’, and then, their lives changed forever….
I came to know of this phenomenon about six years ago, so basically in the seventh grade. One day, one of my classmates could not stop talking about this new, mystical book called ‘Twilight’ and rolling my eyes, I said to her,”Sheesh! A vampire love story. Great.”Then that same night, my mother bought Twilight and gushed on about it. I couldn’t believe the coincidence! Being an avid reader myself, I decided to give Twilight a shot. I read it, then I watched the movie, and then I fangirled over it. Hard. I was in love with the idea that an extremely simple, unimportant girl could find love in a brooding, hot, sexy and well, the ‘ideal’ guy. I was always Team Edward. Always. I would fangirl over it all the time. Twilight consumed me. I was lost in the fantastical world of vampires and werewolves. I bought the succeeding books, the graphic novels,the official illustrated guide and the novella – A short second life of Bree Tanner. I was obsessed. I truly believed that I would never fall out of my love for Twilight.
I even bought the Twilight Barbie dolls. Yup. Let that sink in. Twilight. Barbie. Dolls.
But then, the inevitable happened. I fell out of love with Twilight. I began finding flaws in the books and the movies. I couldn’t believe that Bella could get pregnant, I just couldn’t. That plot hole still baffles me to this day.
I realised that I never really liked the characters much, I just liked the idea of Edward. I was obsessed with the idea of Edward. I realised that Bella was a bland, boring and a whiny character. I realised that my obsession was solely based on Edward.
The main cause of me not liking Twilight anymore was the internet. Let me explain. Whenever something, anything is over-hyped, people are bound criticise it. And my oh my, people criticised Twilight extensively on the internet. I read everything Twilight-related on the net, and slowly but eventually, I realised that my obsession with Twilight was stupid. Yup. Stupid.
And now, a few years later, Twilight is back! Well in a newer, gender-swapped version. Yup. You read that right. Stephenie Meyer has announced that in order to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the series, a new book called ‘Life and death: Twilight reimagined’ is going to be released. Now, Edward is gonna be known as Edythe, Bella as Beau, and Jacob as Julie. Not only that, all the characters except Charlie and Renee are going to be gender-swapped.
When I came to know of this, all those moments of love and adoration towards the series came rushing back. And then, I caught myself. I couldn’t believe that I was still crazy about it. I was torn. I didn’t know whether I should be happy or upset. But now, I’ve made my decision. I am going to buy the new book, simply because I’m curious. And excited. And furious. But, mostly curious.
So, what do you think of all this my dear readers? Are you going to buy the new book? And if so, why?
Do comment!
PS. I was nominated for a short story challenge, two Leibster awards, and the three day quote challenge. I was gonna write down all those posts, but I really felt that Twilight should be discussed about first. To the people who nominated and challenged me, I swear I’m gonna get to those posts after this one.

Exams
So a few days ago my exams finally ended. The pressure I was under, was almost tangible. I can finally breathe again. Whew!
Exams are the worst. And here’s the list of reasons why :
1)My exam room was on the FIFTH floor. And although my college has an elevator, we students are only allowed to climb stairs. This is extremely problematic because most of the students’ exam rooms would be on the first floor, and they wouldn’t have to climb much. But I would have to climb five flights of stairs every exam! It was just extremely annoying. I was nervous enough to write the papers, but then I had to climb five floors worth of stairs, catch my breath, calm down, and then proceed to write my paper.
2) I was placed on the second bench. We all need to sit according to our roll numbers, and coincidentally, my roll number ended up being right in the front. The person before me didn’t show up for any of the exams, so I was directly under the steely gaze of the supervisor.
3)I was highly under prepared for exams. No, not because I’m lazy but because two months into our semester, they sent us the timetable for the final exams. Our semester was supposed to begin in March, but it really began in JULY. JULY. Let that sink in. How am I supposed to revise if I haven’t even started learning the chapter? I was extremely excited for college. I thought that I would study the hardest and get the best grades, but after they informed us about the finals so soon, I lost all my motivation.
4)School and college should be about LEARNING something new. But we give more importance to marks and grades. We don’t see how smart a student is, we just see how much he can cram in order to get more marks. We all student are well trained but not well educated. Education should be empowering not degrading. But, alas, we fail to see the point of education.
Let me ask a question to you all – When was the last time you went to school or college you were excited? And not to meet your friends, but SOLELY for the purpose of learning something new?
Do comment and let me know.
