My name is LIFE...

Hi I'm Life and for a change I will be speaking my heart out. Often you've heard people complain about me, in fact more than half of the world's population has issues with me. Honestly I have issues with myself and unfortunately there seems to be no considerable solution to that either.

I have my buddies love, joy, satisfaction, delight, bliss, ecstasy with me but sadness, hate, problems, jealousy, depression also end up being a part of me.

Different people, different life stories.

The very fact that I come with so many complications defines my presence in everybody.

People love me, people hate me, People want to end me, People want me forever.

Everybody loves being loved and so do I but problems doesn't like it so. And because of problems I'm cursed by people. Problems leads to sadness, depression, dejection and therefore a great nuisance I turn out to be.

L- love I- intelligently with F- feelings and E- emotions. This is my motto.

It hurts to see people hurt because of me. I lose faith in myself and it disheartens me. When I cry , people cry with me. A smile from me brings a smile on their face.

SO:

Dear Problems,

Please sort yourself out before I totally deject people and ruin them.

Thank you
Life

A Journey I Conquered...

From a banal life to an ecstatic one here I am rejoicing each and every moment. Finally Im there... The epitome of achievement calms me and the whole moment just seems too good to be true.

(( FLASHBACK))

"Mom I'll be fine, Trust me! dont get paranoid."

Delhi 2010- Where every autowala, dukaan wala, dudh wala, newspaper wala, was bhaiya for me. Reckless drivers created havoc in my life everytime I wanted to cross the road. Use of profanity by every Delhite was no more a revelation and condone, it was added to the Hindi dictionary. Hogging chinese only from a chinese van wala had become a daily routine and it still is. Going clubbing to Urban Pind and watching people make a mockery out of themselves added humour to the convention at the club. Chicken Pasta at Mochas had become a weekend vibe.

Barring all this, the whole focus point of building a career seemed lost in a plethora of such events. It was a task to get myself back on track and figure out once again my main motive of landing in Delhi from Dubai, leaving behind a plush life and plunging into one with so many apprehensions. Life was a question paper, so many questions with either no answers or ones that were vague.

"Mumma work is fine, lot of projects , im deprived of sleep!! "YAWN"

3 AM January Winters- sipping hot chai at the dhaba, taking a break from hectic documentary making at office, having a gala half an hour break with friends, moments that we wish would never end, moments that would pause and just keep playing again and again and again. But work was always a priority.

Enjoying simplicity. Goodbye clubbing, okhla ka dhaba gives me more pleasure now! Audible voices of best friends, cosying up in our respective jackets, biting cold, shivering away to glory yet everyone had something to say.

What more better than sitting appeasingly and enjoying the moment rather than losing it all on a dance floor.

"Mom! Im not too sure if I will get one"

Anxiety, Frustration, anger, disappointment, can I CONQUER all these? It was a feeling I would never had imagined to take over my set of emotions so strongly. Work was no more work, Work was throwing a competition at me, catch me if you can! SO there I was chasing it vigourously. At times falling, panting, losing hope but then getting back on track and this time chasing it faster.

"Gotcha"

"Mom I finally got one" Im proud of myself!

So dear work, the chase is over and here I am standing proudly in par with you and waiting for another challenge from your end.

"Delhi- My City, My life"...

Welcome Work :P

Until then

Adios

Block & Delete...

Sometimes I wonder what if the option of block and delete NEVER existed...

Ex's would have each other on their lists and follow a MUTE relationship... "Unfortunately your online , I have to see you, Yet we cnt talk" cos I cant block or delete you.. :P

Mom & Dad on fb lists and you are held back from putting up awesome fun pics or edit relationship status from being single to in a relation...just cos you cant block or delete them ...

Block and delete .... they make life easier now!!

P.S- sitting and randomly thinking hence the post...

Adios

Early rising,A long wait at the Indira Gandhi International Airport- Delhi, phone conversations that lasted for 2 hrs, coffee, delayed boarding time,air traffic...."YAWN" this was how Monday,28th Feb Morning treated me.

Welcome to the Dubai International Airport...finally the much long awaited destiny was conquered ( and here i mention conquered bcos it did seem like a war with SLEEP and LETHARGY)

It was home sweet home and mom sweet mom....In 21 yrs of my life I hadnt been so delighted to see her ... And here i can quote "you do realise the value of your loved ones when they are away from you " and so this was my case completely.

Airport-Creek-MEMORIES-Disco Chai-MEMORIES-Dubai Mall-MEMORIES-Home-MEMORIES...It was a ride down the memory lane for me...Im sure there are more to recall in the next 1 week... somethings just cnt be forgotten. :)

Im still here at home enjoying the cosyness sitting on my bean bag,with my blanket, a cup of coffee and my laptop enjoying the serenity.

Dubai- It is here that Ive lived and here that I want to...

But yes ofcourse missing the awesome mausam of Delhi, my buddies Rashi,Piyush,Priyank,Nitish,Aishu,Ramneek and Aakash,City cafe, Cuppa mochas and NDTV.

Adios

Delhi ReLoaded

Alas!! "Its been so long that I haven't seen my blog since May"...(I tried to mock Akon's I wana make love right now... :P) but nevertheless now I have ample issues to talk about. In my previous blogs I was never fed up of talking about PHASES and here I go again... After 3 years of high voltage college drama and action, my life decided to change track to a completely different world.

So here it was July 28th- NEW DELHI!!!

The last 7-8 months discarded the old set of "SO CALLED RELATIONS" and brought in a brand new sparkling set which has indeed got immense happiness in my life so much so that it made up for the tears I had shed for my past relations...

Thanks to people I was forced into looking PRACTICALLY at all relations. I had lost out on emotions, even when I wanted to love I had to think twice just cos I was busy finding a Practical Aspect in it.

Initially living in Delhi was a nightmare...I was dying to go back to Dubai and hell yeah I was missing mom! It was after staying away from her I realised that I needed her.

"This is Aakriti Thakur reporting live from NDTV" - This is what was on everyone's gob when I had got selected for Training with NDTV.

Now I had the privilege to enjoy auto roads safely, walk upto anyone who gives non-sensical crap and show them the NDTV ID and see them give the " ab toh fat gayi " expression.., WOW!! the ID made my life more simpler in Delhi.

Prannoy Roy, Vikram Chandra, Nidhi Razdan etc etc all the great TV journalists were now right in front of me. What more could I possibly ask for!!!!

So from shock to shop ..everything was included in my 5 month stay in Delhi..Oh no no!! I aint leaving this place so soon!!

My Colleagues at NDTV who are now promoted to a step above as my close friends have contributed enormously to all the FUN times Ive had out here.

I met him :)

And yes how I could forget Oct 30th I even Graduated ! So now I had a Bachelor's degree in MEDIA and Communication.

After 21 years of life in Dubai I was for the very 1st time in Delhi for Navratri, Diwali, Lohri, and and I finally had the privilege to attend bday bashes that I missed out in the past years.

Delhi Winters- The most talked about was what I was experiencing and thankfully there was a 10 day break from office in Decemeber which gave me an opportunity to flee away from this biting cold.

But I wasnt quite lucky cos the day I landed showed the lowest temperature and it was time again to battle with the cold.

All in all Delhi re-introduced a lot of emotions other than " PRACTICALITY" and I now seem to enjoy my life Queen Size.

And thanks to my office mates specially my best friend Rashi who cnt help but order Mc Donalds every 2nd day I will end by saying

"IM LOVIN IT" :P:P
