10 meters more!

Ok so that day we had our annual sports meet and I was there in the girl's inter house relay. And we were a team of 4. 4*100=400m relay. I would be running the final 100m. Well, I got the baton last. The second runner and third one totally screwed up the run. Our first runner Smriti was superb. Gave the second chick the baton 1st and then our curve went downnn. So I got the baton last.

So what happens in the last 100 m ahead!

Firstly you see 3 people ahead of you and the first one already halfway.

That is the time it strikes you that one at a time knock them out.

1st one overtaken. Nice! 75 m left. 1st runner has 25 m left. DAMN!

2nd one overtaken. "I can do this."

3rd one is about to finish.....but I'm close..the lead she had is narrowing down to a few metres....This is it. But then you see the finish line coming closer ...you need more distance maybe 5-10 m more to overtake. This is the time when you go ga-ga and you wanna jump over the line...maybe just push her aside and finish.

Just a few more meters you beg. People around you go screaming and cheering up but it's all in your mind. You see people jumping up and down. You can't hear there voices. Your head is jammed. And then all of a sudden the race ends. 

I came second.

And then you hear things like- Awesome pick up man! You did great! But deep inside you know that this could have been yours only if you'd got the baton 1-2 secs earlier. So what you do is just keep walking!

You wanna repeat the whole thing again.

These emotions....just sweep you off your feet in a time of some seconds. It's amazing how the whole thing happens.

And for the over enthusiastic type ( read me ) after maybe 1-2 weeks after the specific day, I keep on replaying the whole situation and start thinking of the extra time or the extra miles I'd begged for.

Well, Maybe I'm thinking too much but whatever. That's me. I could have won. :P 10 meters more!

Joote kahan utaare the!

We left our shoes behind
In a place that we call ours
We left them and went ahead
We broke through the rusty bars.

We didn't care much about the shoes
We cared more about the road
Our soles grew old and weathered away
Instead we went on; we strode.

And now we bought new shoes again
To draw footprints on the road with them
And again we left them behind somewhere
A never ending cycle; we did the same.

We didn't care much; we abandoned the pair
We walked along barefoot, fighting the thorny road

Our soles grew older and weathered away

Instead we went on; we strode.

2010 ends

It has been a year. A year that has given me new things. A year that has given me people, experiences and on the same line-taken away people I heart. It has been a strange year.Certainly did make me grow as a person. Made me more strong and on the same time more caring. Made me do bad mistakes and learn from them as a person.

School trip December 2010 :)

Made me a better human being - and isn't that all we aim for?

This year has given me two close friends, friends who know me too well. From getting through hard times to having the best evenings in my life, from long chats on the phone to missing ourselves on holidays, from eating out to having the mossst fun....2010 gave me two more best friends - Sek and Jnan. We misunderstand each other but deep down under we care and love each other a lot.

2010 ended on 31st taking my granddad away from me just like that, left me back with the best memories with the man who is one of my idols. His whole life is an inspiration. To be or to do even a quarter of what he has done this life, would be an achievement. I love my dadu soo much that it's hard to explain. All I can do is help out with the family he has left behind, cherish the loveliest memories I've had and try to fulfill the dreams he had. Dadu was one of the best human beings I've known. From helping the poor to helping out the family like each and every member is his own son/daughter. Looking at him go with a smile on his face, made me feel that this is what I want to be...this is the way life should be led. Dadu knew to love! He knew to care about people and give his heart out to them. There is soo much to write about him that a thing like a blog is soo not worth it. I love him to the core and will miss all the lovely times we spent together sipping tea and talking about everything ranging from language, politics, music, dance to history, his childhood stories, his travel experience, his dream! I love him and will do forever!

2011 will be hard. Friends will leave to places for there +2 education. It will be very hard to say goodbye to people I've spent soo many precious times with. I don't want to let them go. Not now.

I love my best friends - Shankha, Golu, Isha and Anwesha. I thank them for all they've given me. All the ways they've helped me. I want them to know that I think about them a lot and care for them each and everyday.
I thank my parents and my family back home. I love Tito :) To all these people...if I've hurt you in any way, I've never done that out of any evil feelings, maybe I got carried away or something. I am sorry if I've hurt you. I really mean it when I say I love you people.

School trip. December 2010
I love this pic!

I couldn't be selfish enough to expect a better 2010. So bring on the new experiences, times of mirth, times to shed tears, times that won't be that good but it's all about moving on and living it. So let's LIVE like it's the last year left!

Cheers
