Well, I wished to express myself today but there are no words..the blank pages of my diary are staring hard at me and i am...clueless.
This has never happened before.
I can hear this feeble voice coming from somewhere deep inside me.
But I dont want to hear it.
The mind has now taken over and it says...'keep away from poetry' and I'm listening to it...
I'm feeling sad and hurt but everything else seems well...
Lets see how long the brain can rule.

Thats all I could do...!!!
Forever inspiring, always listening
I wonder, if u cud hear my silence too
Blessed are those who get such friends
and grateful am I, to be having you!!
There were days when u did hurt me
and your bluntness was sharper than a knife
Then there were the times you stood by me
both in happiness & sorrow alike
Almost perfect, full of confidence
I believe, thats how everyone knows you
But there's this stubborn yet innocent kid
somewhere, visible only to a few
Nothing could be more pure
than the friendship that we share
Its a beautiful relationship
that has been nurtured with lots of care
Unforgettable are those petty fights
your ways of making me understand
Those unnecessary sorry's n thankyou's
that you constantly banned
I could go on and on
for this story's never gonna end
Yet I'll stop right here
coz I know the rest you'll comprehend!!!

Random...
As the days roll on
all the equations change
The lips bring on that smile
but the eyes fail to reciprocate
The sun no longer appears bright
and the rays of hope disappear too
Remembering those days of yore
today seems just so out of date
The winds dont ruffle the leaves
and the flowers fail to bloom
Those butterflies still hover around
as I wonder, is that worth the wait??
Thinking of it all,I fall asleep
and soon dreams overtake my thoughts
Thus the world is all beautiful again
for everything in it is so appropriate!!

My stressbusters....
The other day we were talking when one of my friends just mentioned about smoking and drinking.He said tht they give a high or something like tht...one gets relieved of all stresses..makes u feel better and all that nonsense. Me calling it all nonsense bcoz i fail to understnd why people indulge in such ridiculous activities tht are more harmful then helpful.
Anyways it made me think abt my ways of coping with stress.And guess wht my list of stressbusters is quite long..it comprises of all those people who have made an impact on my life and those things tht stay with me always..Stressbusters isnt an appropriate word but then thinking abt them or talking to them does help me with overcoming my apprehensions!!!
Here goes:
1. Dearest mum - talking to her always makes me feel a lot better...she's the best mom in the whole world. With her being around i knw nothing's gonna go wrong.All my anxieties n fears are allayed just by her sheer presence...we r the best of frnds...she knws me inside out n can understnd my feelings without me even having to mention a word.
2. Daddy - well wht do i say abt him...its just tht i love him, he's my biggest strength just like mom...he does care abt me a lot bt u see men dont express everything na bt then i do understnd...i'm so proud to be his daughter...whnevr he's there i knw all my prblms will be solved n my indecisiveness wud cease.
3. Akshu - he's the apple of my eye.spending time with him is like being a kid again. i forget tht i'm grown up. Playing with him lets me be so happy...his world is so full of innocence, there are no worries, no tensions. he's one my cutest stress buster.
4. My grandparents - they have inspired me n helped me become a stronger n more determined person. Their blessings shall have always been with me...their comforting words allow me to forget my worries.
5. My friends - i'd mention them all - Richa, Shilpi, Jaya, Khushbu, Priyanka - they hear me out everytime...tolerate my mood swings and still dont seem to leave me alone. then there's Ayesha, Pinku, Pooja, Neha, Supriya- all of them knw me so well...i can share anything n everything with them. hw cud i forget Nitesh, Vivek, Akash, Dheer - always helping, understnding me n caring for me ...
6. My inspirations - Dr.Parag, Sujay, Vidhi ,Devesh. they are the ones who have inspired me into trying something new, to constantly improve, to stay modest, to overcome my weaknesses, to move ahead in life n to be me.I always look up to them...they motivate me in their own unique ways.
6. Chocolates, icecreams, my books, my poems - all my remaining tensions r relived thanks to these.they all r my best friends!!
7. The one and only, GOD - Actually he comes first always.Talking to Him is the best thing i can ever think of doing.There hasnt been a single moment in these 21 yrs of my existence tht he's left me alone. He exists in me and in everythng arnd...My constant advisor, my friend, philosopher n guide...
Well people i just wanted to mention tht I really love u all...u've helped Radhika becum Radhika....its such a pleasure to be a part of your life.I'm glad to have met u!!!!!:)

Can someone explain???
The smile on your face
Still haunts my nights!
The twinkle in your eyes
Lights up my days!
…Yet my heart is aching!
The sound of your footsteps
Still offers me company!
The concern in your voice
Keeps me from being alone!
… Yet my heart is breaking!
You had no presence
Neither did you exist
Imagination and reality
Never went hand in hand
…But I am… still waiting!!!!!
Still haunts my nights!

You had no presence
Neither did you exist
Imagination and reality
Never went hand in hand
…But I am… still waiting!!!!!

Back to Indore....
...the first thing we did after reaching Dehradun was eat as all were feeling ravenous.The night was spent peacefully but the next day again started with waking up early in the morning, qeueing up for the bathroom, fighting for turns and finally getting ready to go!!
We went to SBSPGI first and were greeted by one of our seniors working there.The whole atmosphere was quite informal and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
That very day we visited the Forest Research Institute.The greenery all around was indeed a treat to the eyes.In the evening we were left on our own to go around the Paltan market.It was time for shopping and no one complained.
The next day we set off for Mussoorie...Sahastradhara and Kempty Falls fell in the way and we had a gala time. Nature was as its breathtaking best!!
By the time we actually reached Mussoorie it was evening...there we got to know that the ropeway was getting renovated and thus the whole exercise seemed futile.It all turned out to be a huge disappointment.
The last day at Dehradun was spent at the National Institute for the Visually Handicapped(NIVH). It was an overwhelming experience for all of us to see the visually challenged kids and adults performing various tasks efficiently.
Tht very day we left for Allahabad - our final destination.
Anand Bhawan - Pandit Nehru's residence took us back in history.
Early next morning we visited the Sangam - confluence of the three rivers, Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati(the invisible river said to be flowing beneath the earth).The waters of the Ganga and Yamuna could easily be distinguished and it was wonderful to see them merge.
After the holy sojourn we visited the Leprosy Mission Hospital at Naini.The doctors there cleared our myths regarding patients suffering from leprsoy and it was some learning experience for all of us.
Finally it was time to leave for indore.Everyone was happy to be going back home but felt sad too for the journey was about to end.All those moments we'd spent together would be etched in our memories forever!!
For me it wasnt just a tour but an experience that made me realise the value of everyone around me...how lucky and blessed i was to be surrounded by all my loved ones!!!So for me,
Life isnt about finding faults,
u simply need some adjustment
Life isnt really bad,
just try living every moment
Life's all about learning to smile
and staying happy all the while!!!

A Trip....contd
We reached Chandigarh at 3 in the night. The night time adventure included dragging our trolleys on the streets of chandigarh as our bus left us in the middle of the road. But Chandigarh was grt....awesum city, not the least like Delhi.
The museum, lake and the rock garden were the places we went to, of course after visiting the post graduate institute(PGIMER),it was an educational tour, remember!!
The next day we went to Kasauli - it was the most beautiful place i'd seen all my life...amazing!!! The sights were breathtaking. The winding roads tht lead up to this quaint hill station did make me realise tht i suffered from a terrible form of motion sickness! Tht was the least enjoyable part but the overall experience was mindblowing..we walked abt 8 kms tht day without feeling the least bit of fatigue, probably the fresh air we breathed was reason for it! our lungs must have enjoyed it as well...
Haridwar....the holy city on the banks of the Ganges....our next destination
Having taking a dip in the mythical river made us feel as if our souls had been purified...
A ropeway took us upto the mansa devi temple atop a hill and it also allowed us a wonderful view of the entire city.
After haridwar we proceeded to rishikesh..another of those sacred cities of the north.it was our bad luck to have missed the ganga arti for we reached there late in the evening.crossing both the ram and lakshman jhulas was quite exciting for all of us.
We reached Dehradun tht same night and the next thing i rememeber is falling fast asleep. Travelling throughout the day did make us tired but we were ready for more excitement in the days to come...a major part of our journey was over but still it wasnt the end yet!!!!!!!
