Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

This post is purely because ^this line makes me smile. And there maybe no ending to it. No conclusion. No nothing! Just a write-up. Simply because I wanted to write about this. And I wanted this beautiful line featured in my blog. Haha. 

Yesterday.. no actually Yester-night. I was up till the wee hours of the morning reading this novel I was glued to so badly that it literally deprived me of the think that I love the most,. sleep. Anyway, so I just "happened" to read this line..Absence makes the heart grow stronger.. And well, relate immediately. 

We might have all been in situations where one or the other person who is so darn close to heart goes away from us... leaving us behind to face the harsh realities of life all alone. It maybe anyone. And then we realise how incomplete we are without them, that they actually make their absence felt, that we love them all the more when they go away, that we can never imagine our life without them, that they could come back. But they can't. And all we can do is miss them, and wish life wasn't what it is. 

Slowly and gradually we learn to love them less, well not literally, but in a way. We learn to miss them less. We learn to love people we see more often, more. We learn to give way to new opportunities in life. And most of all, we learn to treasure what we have.

Oh and as English IS a funny language, 

There's one proverb which is totally contrary to this one ..

Out of sight, out of mind. ;) 

Keep smiling everyone. 

Love. 

I don't know.

Hi everyone.
It's been a while since I've updated my blog. And I haven't anything to share right now. Just the same boring thing going on. I'm too lazy to do my favourite thing, too. The writer in me..... just died. -Sigh-

Will be back soon. With a meaningful post.
Till then, take care! :)

My first.

An outcome of boredom.
9th March, 2012.

Just found a new artist in myself. :)

Goodbyes. :|

It is hard to say goodbye to someone you love. It tortures you mentally and physically. It bleeds in your heart, keeps on bleeding and no one sees it. Memories of the past keep haunting you, tormenting you apart. You hurt to look back. You hurt to think about the past but you are often distracted by the thoughts of the one you didn't want to let go off ever. You pretend you hate them because it's easier to pretend that rather than accepting that you miss them. Every night before you sleep, you think about them. All the beautiful moments you spent with them run through in your mind. And then the moment when you are reminded of the moment you had to see them off forever. You wonder what went wrong. And you end up crying. Goodbyes are bad. Not that they are ever any 'good'. But the real hard thing is, you have to live with it. You have to survive without someone you thought that you wouldn't go a day without talking to. It is not easy. No one said it ever would be. But not one ever told you it's going to be THAT hard. You know you have to be strong. Even though the strength in you is gradually fading away. And you know you got to move on. But you aren't able to. You just feel empty inside and outside. You feel nothing is of importance once you've lost that one person who meant so much to you. You wish it was not so. You wish you could erase that moment of your life. You feel yourself sliding into a deep black hole with nothing to gain, nothing to lose. You've already lost it all. All I can say is - 
Just imagine how lucky you are to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. And if you are that lucky, something would come soon, that'd make you smile and make you forget all the agony of the past. Goodbyes are not the end. They can be the beginning of something even more amazing in your life. Don't lose hope. Keep faith in yourself. 
And keep smiling.
Much love. :) 

Ekla Chalo Re :)

On-set of the holidays where I can absolutely do nothing. So I just sit in front of the television and randomly switch channels. I just happen to turn on channel [v] and happen to listen to Amitabh Bachchan's tribute to Rabindranath Tagore's 'Ekla Chalo Re'.

It so happens that this song has been one of my all-time-favourites. Nothing can beat the calmness and the motivation that this song provides at the very same time. It is just too inspirational. (It inspired me to write this post, too. ;) ) The meaning in itself is so encouraging - When you find yourself surrounded by evil luck and no one is willing to stand by you, WALK ALONE. Open thy mind and walk alone. :) 

It's too awesome a song not to be listened to. :)  Here's the video - 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d9QOzkxMKU

'Jodi tor daak shune keu na aashe, tobe ekla chalo re.'

Much love. 

And here ends ninth. :)

Ninth class just ended. Yeah, I'm now -soon-to-be-tenthie. :D 
I'm glad this year just ended. It brought with it too many emotions. Those I couldn't handle and those that others couldn't handle in me. It was a roller coaster ride, actually. Too many highs and lows in this year, TOO MANY. 
Let's just start with the beginning. Yes, disaster, it was! Shuffling. Bad start to a new class. No friends. No one you can talk to. Just absolutely NO one except you and your loneliness. New teachers. No previous ones. HELL! Everything was just so irritating! 

To the 'friends forever' in 8th class, I don't know what happened but we just drifted apart. I don't blame you. I don't blame myself. I just blame it on destiny. Maybe we weren't even meant to be friends 'forever' after all. Maybe the definition of 'forever' was different for you all, too like it is for every one. Those who stuck by me, a big hug and an even big thank you to you all. :* Love you till eternity(which literally means a limitless amount of time). Endless love to you people. 

To the new friends (who are now old :P), thank you for being what you are. Thank you for being with me through the class I literally dreaded and I hope that we will be friends 'forever' (Forever meaning what it really does. :*) You guys made me realize that any difficult time can be gone through if you have people who stick by you and trust you. One thing, bad times tend to continue like, forever. :| But 9th didn't. And I'm glad. :) Cheers to all we've been through and come out of! :) 

Then came first term. Another disaster. I choose not to talk about it. 

Second term proved to be much, much, muchhhh more better than whatever it ever intended to be! 

THE SPORTS DAY. Such memories I can't ever forget in my life. 

Starting from 'Jitna ganda din hai...' to 'Aaa gaya noddy' - We did it all. We went bonkers. I'm glad we did. :D I'm glad we did everything that we did. I regret absolutely nothing that I have done. The 3 days of matches, of cheering for our house - RED HOUSE, of making other houses jealous of the fact that we ARE the best. From challenging my class teacher and then to losing the bet. :( From losing the throw-ball match for my house, to cheering for the handball team. Red v/s white. - EPIC! White house teachers :* I love you people anyway. ;) 

And RED HOUSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE <3 <3 The teachers. :') :* The prize distribution ceremony. Haha. Funny thing it was. Some amazing moments and a picture I will forever cherish. :) 

20th December 2011. :) 

And the the nail-biting tension for the finals. It's all over in 10 days.

And that's just about it. 

9th has taught me a lot of things - those that I'll never forget.. I'm glad I'm out of it now. 

A new class, A new way to look at things!

All the best to every one for the new session. 

And don't forget - It's okay to be sad until you don't forget to be happy. Keep smiling. :) 

Ciao.

Nothing's gonna change my love for you.

This post is dedicated to three very, veryy, VERYYY important people in my life whom I will never forget. I surely want you three to know how much you mean to me and how much I really am going to miss you when you leave school. ONLY 1 month, that's it! DAMN! :O

Neharika, You're my number one and I surely love you more than life! I just can't digest the fact that you're going to be leaving school in just a short span of time. I am going to miss you more than anybody else. Even though I want the best for you, I wish you just STAY. I just want you to stay. As simple as that. :') I know this won't affect our friendship even one bit but who will save me from class when I am getting bored? :O Who will tell me every bit that's going on in school? Oh no yaaaar! We became friends only this year, it's been ONLY 6 months, I guess AND I'm going to miss you. :O You're just the BEST-EST friend anyone could have ever asked for. I'm lucky enough to get you. Just always be the crazy you and keep smiling, 'cause it really does increase your face value! :P I'm so glad we became friends. I just hope we continue to be US forever. I just.... Urghh! DON'T LEAVE!!!!!!! :/

3rd December 2011.
Neharika, me and Apoorva. :) 

Apoorva, You're my oldest friend (As in the time I've known you). Seriously. I've known you since 6 years, I guess. And trust me, it's just about the best feeling in the world to know that you've been with me, ALWAYS through these years of my life. I don't know why we don't talk as much as we used to last year, but I miss you. ALREADY. It's just the bus thingy, I guess. I trust you, and always will. WITH ANYTHING. I know you are going to leave school pakka, and there's not even a chance I could stop you from doing that.. but I just WISH you did not. Life's not going to be the same without you around to share my problems with (Although it's almost been a year that way). Cheers to all we've been through and come out of. Cheers to US. Love you humesha <3

Anukriti, YOU, my fraaaaand are the most louuuu-able person I've ever met, true story. :D You is seriously be too awesome is the! WE, together, is be too awesome is the! :P I will miss you. A LOT. What will I do in the bus, now? :O Now, who will tell me agar 'Aaaj kuch intersting hua ki nahi?' Yaaar aaap kyun jaa rahe ho, non-med-wardi. :/ Yaaar aap bahut gande se ho! Huh! I don't want you to go. One year without you in the bus, is going to be.. pata nahi kya! :| And I know after reading this, you're going to be like 'Tu toh pagal he hai, Arshia'. I know. AND it's okay to be mad, huh! I'm too lucky to have you by my side, always. It feels nice. VERY nice! I love you a lot. And I just wish this isn't going to affect us. I won't let it. Love youu <3

28th December 2011.
Me and Anukriti. :) 

And to three of you,


Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought'a know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love. <3

In seeking happiness for others, you find it yourself :)

Today, I'm not writing because I'm sad, because I'm happy, but because I want to. And what better to write about than what I love doing - Making others laugh. (No, I'm not a joker) Umm, better way to put - I LOVE SEEING OTHERS HAPPY BECAUSE OF ME. :)

Of course all do, but I literally live for days as insane, stupid, crazy and laughter riotous as today! Especially when all the gladness and happiness around is because of me. It is surely one of the best feelings in the entire world (Yes, even better than having ice creams in winter!) I simply love it when people tell me that I made their day, I made them laugh and it's literally because of me that they find happiness in every little thing around (Yes, I've received compliments like that, too!)  Eventually it just makes me love myself. People love me because of what I am, what I do. And they make me love myself because of what they say. 

Here's a toast to every one who smiled even once because of me, to those who are happy because of anything around.. 

May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past!

Have a very happy life. 

Keep smiling! 

Ciao. :)

Hi(gh) there!

Me is mad. Yes, totally. Today you get to see how crazy I really am - because it's one of THOSE days. :|
It’s one of those days. Days when all you want to do is scream at every single person, rip their heads off, tell them to shut up and let PEACE prevail!
It's one of those days when you feel completely useless and so RANDOM. Just about the worst person on the earth - no exact reason why. When you walk like a dead - dumb zombie.
One of those days when you wish you could really be granted '7 khoon maaf'.
When you can't even smile. :| Urghhh. I HATE MOOD SWINGS. Damn! I wish I could help get these stupid mood swings not to affect me. They're SO irritating - not for me, for others.

One of those days when I wish the world would REALLY end in 2012. xD

One of THOSE days.
Not totally impossible, not entirely possible. One of those days when I really wish it would happen. THE DOOMSDAY. And feel it would be so awesome if it all just ended.
Just ........................................ THE END. All over. :')
A thousand emotions.. maybe even more.
And a sudden desire to end this post. Damn! Why do I write? :|
YOU. Yes, there. Don't be as mad. Don't even try. It is a lot more difficult than it seems. 


Sayonara!

Smile :)

Hello, reader! So, for the very first post of my blog, I want to start with why I chose to name my blog what I have - SMILE WITH STYLE. Happy Reading :)

Smile. We all know we should. In happiness, in misery.. always. (Read: Almost always :P) People often ask me how I manage to smile at just about everybody and everything.. Well, here's the secret - 

Push your left lip muscles a bit to the left and those on he right, to the right. THAT, is a perfect smile. Right there! Yes. :) I smile at people whom I love. I smile at things that I love. If I smile at you, I LOVE YOU. :D 

Most people I smile at, just force a smile through their face as if it's a formality. And I smile even more at them, 'cause no one needs a smile more than the one who has none to give. :) If I smile too much at you, that's just about the reason, my love. :)

A smile can make someone's day. Today, don't forget to smile.....with style...at someone you love, like, hate whatever! Just SMILE and I'm sure you'll receive one back. :) 

Happy Day, Keep Smiling.

Ciao :) 

To my smallest friend :*

Dear Kanistha,
I have decided to write this because your mood is off and I want to cheer you up. :D
So dear smallest friend, cheering you up will be the most difficult thing that I will have to do NOW. Here goes -


I hate really children of your age who speak as much as you do. But quite surprisingly I don't hate you. And that's only because you force me to love you :P You are seriously the most irritating kid EVER but I love you anyway ^_^ Shar must really have a very difficult time dealing with you - That's because I have it too :P
You are cute, that's because of the fact that children are supposed to be. Well, SOME naturally are. :P
You are nice, not literally... but you still ARE nice. xD
You are charming, YES YOU ARE!! :D
You are sweet, not always (Stop saying 'shut up') - You're too small to say that to me :P
And I just love you. Just continue smiling and being the stupid and crazy chatterbox that you are!
God Bless You! :)
With love,
Me.

3rd December 2011. :) 

PS - Smile with style. ;) Have a nice day!




Ciao.
