How many times in your life do you feel the need of a pause button? So that you can sit down and reflect, at your high times and your low times, and then you start thinking what if I had slowed down in that lane, What if I had the guts to tell someone how u felt about him/her, What if I had not done that, What if you had heeded your best friends advice, What if....
And the list goes on...
But then, Is not life about making mistakes and not learning and then making the same mistakes again?

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die

8th Mar

She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until that night...

And lure me to the shore

Myself i am this ocean but,
Its dryness that is my core.

[Neerja. The school friend. The first person and one of the very few till now, who stood by me when I needed them to. It takes guts for a 12 year old girl to stand up and tell the teacher that things are unfair. Very down to earth, friendly and still after so many years has not changed much. Works hard and will stand by what she stands by. I mean even losing her job in that manner. Bubbly slightly naughty, a livewire, still delicate with that refreshing smile.]

We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life.

Life is brief, and then you die, you know?
