The Whisper in the Noise... The Voice of My Soul!

Life is unpredictable.. .when you think that everything is going right, something, a little something can go wrong and when everything seems to be crashing in front of you, a little ray of hope and a friendly smile is all that it takes to make things better and life a little more beautiful!
I still miss Baroda so much, but thing have turned a new leaf in Mumbai. I received my first semester results and they look good at this point of time. Presentations are good and the routine is set now.

One thing that made Baroda special though, was my friends there. They are soooooo special that I know that so many people would have envied me because of my relationship with them. I wished day and night that I would have at least a couple of people like them here in Mumbai.

And as they say, God has an answer to every prayer. Even mine got answered. Six months here, I have at least six people whom I can call my own.

Today I faced an adverse condition, the one I was dreading even before I came here… and in adversity I found my truth friends … for one it was my roomie priyanka… she is three years younger to me but she is the most prefect gal I have ever met… her courage is something I will admire till its time for me to go to my grave…

And the second, lets just call him MY NEW FRIEND… he is an angel in disguise… one of the most honest guys I have met.. with him, this strange city feels like home…

So a toast, to my new friends and to the ones who have always been there… I dont know where I would be without you…
Today, in tough times, I smile… AND THE REASON IS YOU!


Love u all, soooo much!


Adee!

PS here are the lyrics to that fantastic song...

This semester, one of our professors have us a very interesting project. He asked us to write an article. He asked us to write about something that we are passionate about, collect newspaper clippings of the same and submit it.

I thought a lot about what I was passionate about. A lot of things did come to mind also like coffee at barista, my college, my work, my articles, nature, events, driving and listening to music, adventures with my friends and what not. I kept wondering what to write about, until the golden thought struck me on the Pune-Mumbai Express highway.

I was thinking about all these things, but it took me a little while to figure out the common thread between all of my passions.

A cup of coffee is all I need to regain my sanity, but that cup has to be at barista in BARODA.

My Alma matter is the place one place I owe my personality to, but its in BARODA.

My work used to keep me engaged for 18 hours a day, but it was at Endeavor Careers, BARODA.

My articles are the way I feel, when I am in or outside BARODA. Nature to me is what my dad has introduced me to, which was in and around BARODA.

Music, friends and adventure, all these seem to loose its meaning as soon as I go away from BARODA.

My love, my life, my heart and my soul are in BARODA. So if I had to pick a thing I was, I am and I will be passionate about, it was to be, you guessed it right, BARODA.

I was born in 1986, in a small village called Kalol, near by a blossoming town called Baroda.For proper education of me and my brother, my father managed to get a transfer in the town in 1989 and we have lived that since then. I did my schooling for Gujarat Refinery English Medium School and then went on to do my graduation from SVIT, Vasad, although I stayed in Baroda only.

For any child the big moment for transition from adolescence to adulthood comes when he or she gets a first pay cheque. I got my at the age of 21. It was a cheque of Rs 3333 from PT Education for the month of February, 2007. After that I worked for Endeavor Careers and then tired to get into a good B-School. I managed IBS- Mumbai. But till now I had no idea what Baroda meant to me…

I was all charged up to start a new phase of my life, leaving a old one behind.

The first four months in Mumbai have passed by. It is said that Mumbai is a city that accepts everyone, a land where dreams come true and a home to any one and every one. I am sure this city has accepted me, but the heart wrenching question remains: have I accepted the city?

The answer is a NO… I am a Barodian, by hart, by soul and will always stay that way!

As humans, we have a definite urge to want something or the over, mostly things that we cant have…
We also have that “kedda” to want what we cant have.. life gets complicated the moment you realize that you want something u cant have….
Like, when I wanted to have do an MBA, I wanted to go into a ivy league, but some things are just not meant for me…
When I entered IBS I was looking for a good course, some fun and college life like I had in SVIT, but some things are just not meant for me….
When I looked at someone, I found the world I was looking for my self, the world where I would feel safe and pampered.., my sanctuary.. but some things…………………….
The horrible part is, just like every other human, I wake up every morning thinking that things will be alright… and every night I sleep with the truth that everything is just the same as last night… like every night…
The truth is I cant take it anymore… I am not that strong and I give up pretending to be…

Love,

human are meant to be social animals. we like company and we like to be with people around... i guess that feeling is most prominent in humans, thats why we communicate and socialize... but there is a huge role that solitude plays in ones life. i have realized this fact lately... the time you spend with myself, popularly called "me time", is the time i get to find out what i am afraid of, what i am scared of... i would know my weaknesses and my loop-holes.. since i know them already, i can dodge them or tackle them when they come to me... lately, with the MBA college, am not able to find the "me time".... a feeling of detachment and loss of purpose is creeping in that is soooo not needed right now considering that i am tiring to adjust in a alien environment. not that i dont like the people i am around with, they are all fantastic... but sometime u WANT to be alone and then u NEED to be alone.... just pray that i get the much needed break, and soon! Love, Adee

Hi People,

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery

but Today is a Gift, that is why it is called......... "Present"....

whether u appreciate the Present or not is a different issue...

for the last three years, i have dreamed of going to a good b-school... and now that its my time to go, i feel like i am going to leave my life and my heart here in baroda....

recently, there have been turmoils... issues that have to be resolved, decisions were to be made... i have made some decision, one of them life-altering... but the issue is, i choose one and i hurt so many people attached to my decision in some or the other way...


it is said that u will never fulfill your destiny, until u let go of the illusion of control. so i decide to let go, to trust someone with.... me...

Love,
Adee

Hi...

Anyone who knows me, know that i am a HUGE fan of F.R.I.E.N.D.S... i have seen the episode soooo many times that i can say the dialogues with the characters.. and literally, the entire episodes...

the most amazing thing about F.R.I.E.N.D.S is the how Six totally different characters come together and find a family within themselves. they spend thanksgiving together, Christmas together... they are together for each others problems.... and even in celebrations... its amazing...

it has been 15 years since the show started, but even now if u watch the pilot episode, u can related to it...

everyone wants a set of F.R.I.E.N.D.S... someone they can confide in, someone they can believe in... i have been sooo blessed with so many people around me that i love and care about... with every new tantrum that i throw, there are a bunch of people to handle me... and i so appreciate it... and i try to be there for them too, i don't know how much i succeed in that endeavor oof mine, but i try....

they say that u dont choose your family but u get to choose ur friends and then they become your extended family...

i gotta say, i have the biggest and the best extended family! :)


Love u all,

Adee...
