Enthusiasm is her



In this beautiful journey of life.. We meet so many wandering souls just like us! A few match our frequencies and we instantly connect to them.

Once you observe people, you'll know everybody is walking a path, that is parallel with the path you are walking, but each has its own way.

I am lucky enough to meet bunch of people I cherish! There's one girl whom I met a year and a half back in my college, and this write up is about that enthusiastic human being.

Off late I met her at her cousin's wedding reception ( Yes, I was duly invited . We do such crazy things like a boss. Na jaan.. Na pehchaan types)

As soon as I saw her, I hugged her! I was meeting her almost after 6 months. I realized nothing changed. She still greeted me with a swear word and we burst into laughter. That's her style.. She greets people close to her like this!

That day this girl was blooming in an euphoria mode! She was running around, taking care of the guests that stepped in, and  was still enthusiastically clicking pictures with the bride and the groom! As I was sitting back and tasting the delicious delicacies... I observed this mad woman! 

Simple. Smiling. Giving. People's person. The tom boy. The insane tam brahm.
THE CHARU NATARAJAN.

As she reads this I am sure to receive a nicely worded text message ( sarcasm) and I will more than anything love it.

There are few people who come with such great positive vibe that make all the pessimism disappear in you, if any. These people find happiness in making other people smile.

Speaking of all this , does not mean we never fought. A sugar coated relation can cause you diabetes, I like hot and sweet.

Possessing the same temperament as of mine, we had clashes! But just as they temper shoots up faster.. It comes down faster too. She isn't perfect. Nobody is!

But what I love about her is she is herself! And that's the whole saga of life.. If you are not yourself, what's the point in living anyways.

That day, Charu's positive energy made me realize that I really crib over petty issues. There is a lot to be lived there. In this uncertain environment.. Why waste time worrying.. Kick those worries. Go mad. Go crazy. Dance to the tunes of life. You don't need alcohol to get you drunk. Surround yourself with such  people and you'll know ;)

Cheers

P.S : Charu, thank you :)

Straight from the heart.

Recently I bagged the biggest feminist award at work! Trust me I am now certified for it and I am proud of it.

Feminism is a huge topic. The 21st century liberal media platforms have all the more gloomed this concept and hence it became a popular headlined word across all platforms. But a woman speaking her rights or sharing an equal position with her male counterparts has existed since times immemorial. The Vedic period speaks high about the role of woman contributors to the society just like today.

This such a vast and one of my favorite topics that I may not actually stop over it.  But trust me though I am a feminist I  have no enmity with men! I love them and men do make a major chunk of my friends.

 My fairy tale blog raised eye brows asking me, 'Gargi, whats wrong? Are you in love? 'since this not my usual  journo of  writing.

Well I did manage to give answers to them justifying that such is not the case. The truth is just like every normal  girl, I too have had my share of love! I have fallen in love and out of love! And every time I have had this experience I have loved it and I wait for time to reveal more of it! I am an optimist and my belief in it still exists and hence the earlier blog.

Movies like Queen, Chak de India, Inkaar have always got me going! I love them, for the woman independence they portrayed and most importantly the message they conveyed to me,.. 'life moves on'

Across the length and breadth of anything you do, You shall meet people...Some you may like, some you may love, some you may hate. But every person's role in your life is limited. They come, they spread their magic across and move away! The fun is to live in those breath taking moments and move on.

Easier said than done they say! But eventually everybody comes to the Euphoria mode just like kangana did in the movie queen, or to certain realizations just as chitrangada of 'Inkaar'! Eventually we all find solitude.

This brings me to my point. Nothing is permanent. The fun is to live in the moment. For Oscar Wilde once quoted, 'They spoil the whole romance by making it last forever'. And for those bad memories, remember they taught you something you would have never learned otherwise...

And for the rest remember what goes around comes around...

Happy weekend folks :)
