Someone wise once said on a random google search page that "Home is the place where it feels right to walk around without shoes” and it is true.
this is the first time in years where i have wished to go home. and now i am. to hug my dada. to rest my head in my mom's lap. to play ball with my brother. to gossip with my aunts. to babysit my cousins. to witness the birth of a new baby. a new relationship. Home is where my heart is.
this sudden urge to go home is not owing to the fact that i am sick and would be better of at home. this post is because i realize that i am no one without the people back home. this post is to thank the two people who brought me into this world. this post if for my parents.
this post is dedicated to all those kids who suddenly find themselves alone- look behind you. your family is just a call away.
this post is to all the parents of the world but especially to mine- for making the person i am. i am strong because of you. i am brave because of you. i am me because of you. and i only hope and pray that i am and become half the individual that you want me to be because you two are two of the most beautiful individuals on this earth together and apart.
you make me proud.
p.s. Ma, We 4 are the World! (M3JK):)

this has been put off for a really long time but then again i can still hear my heart in my mouth every time i cough. This past week has been about nothing but rest and major amounts of sleep. all the sleep i have missed this semester. all the dreams that were waiting to be seen. all the realities that we were ready to be acknowledged. everything. this week did that for me.
it all started out with a random conversation with a friend at around 01:30 am and the next thing i know i've decided to take a bike trip to HCU at that time of the night. so i came back and changed into something more comfortable and carried a bag with little things like food and water too. when i stepped out to go i was so pumped-it was unbelievable! i hadn't felt like that in a really long time.
it normally takes 40 minutes or more by bus if you want to get to HCU(Hyderabad Central University)-it took us 25. the minute iset foot in there, it was cold. chilly. like i could smell the unpollutedness(if there is such a word)of the air inside and it was mesmerizing. Four hours of circling the campus and i still had so much more to see but then my human instincts of hunger had to come in the way so we left. there is something i have not mentioned- when we left campus he did tell me that there was a surprise in store. i had forgotten about it until we left the campus and he said-" when i tell you to hang on tight, you hang on tight. got it?" i remember vaguely thinking-ya right! what could be so surprising? but was i in the most awesomest ride ever.
so we are still riding.riding.riding. and then he says it and i can see the road- a curve, a downhill, an uphill and then a curve again. nice road i thought. smooth road. i clung on tightly. as tightly as i could and was i glad i did. at 110km/hr that has got to be one of the finest moments ever. the surge of adrenaline.the wind beating at your ears. a roller coaster ride without getting in one.
well...we did get back in one piece and after breakfast at Reddy's, i treated myself to an amazing nap.
now here comes the hard part- i caught a cold. i thought-hah! its just a cold...it will pass! it did not.i was cold. my body ached. it went on to be a fever. then my body was burning up. and then i couldnt taste what i was eating. all because i ignored a common cold.
moral of the story: If you have caught it, treat it!
