And that's why you don't disturb a sleeping dragon.

I think I made a friend today,at school.
Considering how awkward I am,yes,it's quite an achievement.
We played 21 questions,and we bonded.
And then I had plans of walking out of school early,to walk to her home and watch Teletubbies with her.
Din't happen,because something turned up.
Some other day,perhaps.
Sleeping Dragons do actually look pretty cool,though.

The sky was but a beautifully lit ceiling.



Diwali never lasts long enough,does it?
The night just whizzes by in a burst of adrenaline,and you're left with a hollow feeling chest..wanting it to last,for the fireworks to light the sky up forever.
 And I've realised,the older I get,the duller the Diwali gets.

This year's was strangely too quiet.
and the diya wouldn't light up 'cause it was way too windy and all.Talk about dampened spirits.
Houses were lit up with pretty silver and golden lights,but they hardly looked like homes.they lacked the warmth.
I wasn't the least bit surprised  that but one person wished me this year.
It din't matter anymore.we've all grown apart now,maybe.
The year's almost over,and it feels like such a waste.
It's like everybody's spirits are like burned out sparklers now...
"Hello","Happy Birthday" and "Happy Diwali' are but hollow,meaningless words.Lacking the enthusiasm and verve they did a few years ago,when we were all little.
Truth is,no one cares.Almost everybody puts up acts of who they want to be perceived as.
And as I stare at the eternally beautiful light-filled sky,I want to be staring at it forever.I don't even want to sleep tonight.
Its like,I want to be happy,really bad.But it only lasts so long,before sadness tides over.
Growing up sucks.

“They weren't true stories; they were better than that.”

Where the wild things are.

Bright winter morning.
And the roses are in full bloom,
I chase after technicolour butterflies in vain.
The plump,red-tailed  birdies line up on walls.
The sun makes my skin look golden-brown,almost the colour of honey.
I'm here,I'm home.This is where I belong.

Typical Saturday Morning.

I'm listening to I'm just a kid by simple plan,right now.
That's how I feel at the moment.A result of a monotonous week,the person I've become and the need for more sleep.
 There's a kid who I  see at school sometimes.He often  happens to pass by empty corridors that smell like disinfectants.
The other day, he happened to glance into my classroom while passing by,he turned his head back again to have a second look.And I looked a stranger in the eye,after a long,long time.
We could be friends,I think.
And what I have now,is a four day weekend.

"Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain."

 Yes,I'm writing about the weather.Um,yeah,I don't really have much of a life so deal with it.

 For the first time ever,I realised what "the silence before the storm" actually means.
It was an unusually cold morning,even considering that it's November.
Maybe it seemed colder,because I was too early and there was nobody to walk to class with.
The chill of the atmosphere,piercing my skin.The Sun,no where in sight.
And the loudest rustling of leaves I've ever heard.
It was all quiet and desolate,but raging and loud at the same time.
It was just a prelude to the actual storm that Followed.
.. November rain is really cold and Beautiful,you know?
We had two consecutive days of torrential downpour and it was freezing.
The sky,like that cold morning, was a constant grey,making everything look prettier than it actually is.
Leaven,in every shade of green,red and brown and little yellow flowers looked perfect against the dominating grey,like it were painting.
Patches of crystal drops and quivering leaves.

And walking in the cold rain to lunch that waited for us,was the best part.
And even the food seemed more tempting than ever,the rising smoke form the dishes just more evident than any other day.There were little puddles everywhere,holding the reflections of trees and people.Shoes got icky,and clothes got drenched.But noone really seemed to mind it.
 and at the end of the violent,raging storm came the Happy Ending,like in fairly tales,Bright Sunshine.
 And the lovely sunbeams brought everything back to track again,drove away the dear distraction that was November rain.
We bid farewell to the november rain,as we watched the last remains of the pretty rainclouds reflected on the enormous glass windows of a building.
Because nothin' last forever,not even cold november rain.
