Life is not as you see it but as you live it

It was half past four in the evening when I started complaining about the life to my brain.

Then I kept wondering - what in the world happened to my new year resolution of "Complain Less, Work More".

As I started leaving office, I switched on my MP3 player. All the old songs started running in the loop. It was 3 years back when I decided not to load brand new songs but all my college days favorite songs in the MP3 player which was gifted by my brother. The one decision that turned out to be correct :P

The song playing at that moment was a gloomy TS song "Cold As You "- Perfect song at perfect time. Could life be more miserable? There goes a tap on the next song. This time TS might have thought to brighten up my mood. So comes the song - The Best Day. 

Songs really have this power of drifting us through time. 

It reminded me of the days when I used to irritate my dad by singing the rock songs  - "At least sing in a way where we can understand the song" was his frequent complaint. My mom from the kitchen asking me if I had learnt any Bhakti Gitas and my brother, after being infected by the Linkin Park fever from his favorite cousin, suggesting me to try songs by LP. 

It also reminded me of the days when me and my best friend used to fight over a song. We had a rule - Whoever downloads the song first, will have the right to set the song as her mobile ringtone. Those were the days when downloading songs or the movies were the last things that used to happen via mobiles. Less technology, real interaction, silly fights, more Love.

 It reminded me of the day when I was overwhelmed for the very first comment on my very first post in my very first blog. Ahem, it was my Mom. But those were the days when smallest of smallest things brought in a lot of happiness. But let me tellya - my Mom giving positive comments is a big thing for me. There was rarely a day when she gave positive comments on the dishes I tried COOKING(let me put it this way - EXPERIMENTING). 

We all had those top most songs which represented each phase of our lives. Each and every song that kept running, took me to the gOLDEN days of my life. As I kept drifting through the PAST, my MP3 player thought to kick me out to the PRESENT. Battery bade adieu when I was about to miss to get down in my Stop. So there I was standing on one side of the road, planning to reach the other side, whenever the notorious traffic of Bengaluru spared me a minute.

Walking through the same old streets with monster apartments looking down upon me, I took my phone out to know the whereabouts of my cousin who fortunately happened to be my roommate. 

We both have this bad habit of going back to the past but at least we have each other to pull us back to the Present. Thankfully she did reach at the same time and the next moment we are on the terrace holding hot cups of tea. Though our conversations run on different topics, somehow it always ended up with the idea of marrying an agriculturist and getting settled in a village. My cousin would say- "No Pollution, No Noise, No Pestering Neighbors - Peaceful Life, Loving In-Laws". Then I would shake her up and pull her out from her daydreaming. That is when she pointed out to the wonderful view of the monster apartment. 

How else would anyone refer a kids play area - Isn't Wonderful the apt word. Childhood is full of wonders. For anything that the life threw at us, we caught it and lived it as if it was another Wonder. Getting hurt was only when we bruised our elbows or knees. Getting hurt was when we fought with siblings that only brought us closer. Getting hurt was only when mom scolded and we ignored and ran to dad. Getting hurt was when your favorite cousin called another cousin her/his favorite only to see how much jealousy has that fetched on you. 

How great would that be if we stayed in childhood forever and getting lost on wonders. (Thanks to my cousin for pulling me out from day dreaming). Time to move to bittersweet reality.

We are all confused fools as grown ups. Its OK to be confused or being fools. But complaining only fetches sympathy that is mostly faked by the people who secretly enjoy your failures.

 Live the life as it comes, but not as you see/expect it to be.

Coz when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

FRIENDS FOR LIFE

I was very excited after my first guitar class. Despite neck pain and prickling pain in my fingers, I really loved it. May be due to excitement, me and my cousin were extremely hungry. So we thought of going to a famous restaurant nearby to have perfect coffee and yummy ravva Idly.

The idea of having food in your favorite restaurant, that too on a weekend is bad. I mean food will be ready, but you will never find place to sit and enjoy it. We were quite irritated. Luckily we found a couple leaving and were successful in finally finding an empty 4 seated table.

While we were about to start eating, we were asked by an old man if the other two chairs are reserved. When we said no he was happy. He asked one of his friends to take a seat and pulled an other empty chair from the near by table for his other friend. He and his other friend went back to self service counter to bring the food they ordered for. While leaving they joked asking us to share our food with their friend who was sitting opposite to us.  They were happy or seemed to be happy. I was not sure. But one thing is for sure. They are FRIENDS FOR LIFE

The old man sitting started asking us questions. He asked if we can understand Kannada for which we nodded a Yes. He said restaurants these days are getting busy for which we nodded again. He might have been wondering if women at home are even least bothered to cook. The two friends who went to get food returned to the table with three bondas and 2 coffee . I thought one is against drinking coffee. But then they started eating bondas and shared coffee - 2/3...They started complaining how people mix water more than milk for a coffee. Their conversation had more jokes in complaining how world is. That is when I was sure that they are one set of happy friends. Then their conversation became a little bit serious. Though I could not get what they were talking about , I was sure they started talking about their own problems. No more jokes, they sat serious for some time. Then they started joking and laughing again. After all life is to be led by forgetting and forgiving. While Forgetting is God's best gift to human, forgiving is the best gift from a human to the other. It seems their friendship and spending time together filled their stomachs. 

After they left, me and my cousin got lost in thoughts of  how one should be lucky enough for being friends for such a long time.

I donot own this Picture.

Well in that case I was, am and will be lucky. I already have friends who really are so close to me. Though many of them likes irritating me a lot and though sometimes I avoid talking in front of them just to prevent me getting teased, I know that that is what best buddies do. When u really need a help they will never ever say No. 

I really really really wish that my friends will be FRIENDS FOR LIFE just like how the three old men were.  

'18'- (In the style of Taylor Swifts '15')-Remembering college days

courtesy-google

Take a deep breath n walk trough the gate, its the morning of ur very first day.
Say bye to ur mom n dad, who are finding it hard to leave u for the very first time.

Its a freshmen year and u r gonna be here for the next four years-in this town.
And one of the girls crying, being nostalgic n she knows everyone feels the same.

When u r '18', you r gonna be in ur first year, u r gonna be brave.
When u r '18' feeling like there's nothing to figure out.

Love the place n the class before u ever could miss it someday- @ '18'.

courtesy-google

You sit in a class with big windows around n soon enough have best friends.
Laughing at the other girls, who just think they are so cool- we 'll be out of here as soon as we can.

Then on your very first holiday, we have all the five days n feel like flying.
N our momma's waiting up, coz we r gonna be home soon-we r dancing round n round as the day ends...as the day ends...

And when u r '18',somebody seems damn cute n ur friend                                                                             feels the same.

when u r '18',with ur friends around makes ur head spin round n round

Well,in your life u'll do things greater than u'd ever thought u'll ever do,I didnt know it at '18'.

Now u r '22',all you always do,wishing u'd go back n enjoy every moment of it.

4 years back with ur true friends, it was fun when u realised some bigger dreams in life
When she told she gave every thought to someone who changed her world.
We all laughed....

courtesy-google

When u r '18', somebody will be always be around, when u feel like falling.
But when u get older, dont forget to look before u fall..

And time can heal almost everything, just find who u r supposed to be, now I know who I wanna be-...'18'...

A Horrible Journey....A Perfect Couple

23rd september . A horrible five hour journey in train .It had always been better  to travel for 3 hrs by bus. A passenger train stopping @ every station- big and small, loading with more and more people, I was frightened. Soon it was overloaded and sitting in an inch of place was so uncomfortable. My friend kept on looking @ me, asking me every now and then if I had enough place. Actually she was the one sitting very uncomfortably in the corner of the seat.

I was thinking how the people in the very next station gets into the train when it is horribly overcrowded. As I was thinking, train halted in the next station. People were rushing in, children raising their heads up for some air, women shouting @ men who were using their strength to push people aside for a place to sit.

Just then an old couple stepped inside- a traditionally well dressed ,perfect Andhra man with Kanduva on his shoulder, asking younger people to give way so that his wife could stand comfortably somewhere. But there was not even enough place to move. So they stood in the same place searching for some empty space. My friend and myself thought of giving our places to them. But we ourselves sat in a very less and congusted place. So we kept looking @ others who could give place to them. Just then old man found a place for his wife to sit. And he felt extremely happy for it. But he kept standing, his hands trembling-unable to hold the support above him. When my friend asked where he wants to get down, he asked us the same question in return. When we said Chennai, the last stop, he just smiled and signalled us to sit. He wants to get down @ a station just 2 stations before the last one. I was wondering how long he could stand like that. After few minutes, unable to stand without any support to the back, he requested a woman standing comfortably next to a seat, laughing @ her collegues jokes. She didnot move. My friend too requested her, saying that old man needs some support to stand. She agreed and there he stood comfortably.

He stood there happily, but his wife was not happy looking @ him standing in a small congusted place. As the next station arrived, the girl sitting next to the old woman got down. Though it was a small place to sit, the couple sat happily. 

While we were all concerned about journey to come to an end asap, the only thing the old couple were concerned was about each other. It was so good to see them caring for each other. Thats why its said love and affection should only grow with time. The old couple is a perfect example for it.

Just for laughs;)...My love for Bangalore...TS's Come Back,Be Here song's modification...

You said it in a simple way, 5 pm the before day, How strange that I didn't care at all...
Well I stumbled through the long goodbye; One last glance then catch the bus;
Right when I was just about to leave;

I told myself don't get attached;But in my mind it always played back-Spinning faster than the bus that took me;
This is when the decisions sink in, I don't wanna miss u like this;
So I wanna come back and be there; I wanna come back and be there

SNSD Time Machine-Eng Lyrics(by me)

Its hard to feel your absence now, as love can give us only pain ;
Its over, I guess its over.

Its hard to think about the past again, there's no more happiness in my world;
Are you feeling the same way as I feel; Guess you are feeling the same way as I feel!!

One mistake, got a one regret;
I hope it had never happened before;

One mistake, just one regret;
Whatever I say, the wounds cant heal this time....

chorus:I need a time machine, and it could bring you back,
Bringing joy all over again, shattering my sadness.

Though I know, its hard to bring you back,
Then why I am here waiting all the time for you...

I need a time machine, oh....
I need a time machine, oh oh....

The time being passed away, its hard to walk alone down this road
The heartbreak that you gave to me, its too heavy and too cold;

The day when you left with those last few words,
I am replaying it now and my heart still hurts;
And I hope you could always hear me cry.....

Just one mistake, just one regret
I maybe so selfish but I cant help it....

chorus:||I need a time machine||

I need a time machine...
It feels like my world is getting dark and blank

If I could jump through time,
If I would be able to meet, the true love
Then I would hold you tight and never let go....

Chorus: ||Need a time machine||

Yeah, even before any of my memories get erased...
Give me a time machine...
Oh...Give me a time machine||2||.....

SNSD- ABC english lyrics(by me..:))

You try to change my mind and manipulate it,
You must enjoy that , hey I know that...

Oh baby why do you try to shatter my feelings?
You must be surprised, yeah I can see that..

I try to turn around, my heart starts screaming, my mind starts working, I get all the meaning...

U cant hide your mind, stop acting like a fool;
Its time to end all your cheap tricks yeah...

U and me are like ABC and XYZ , just cant get along||2||

Chorus: ABC and XYZ, a hell lot of difference;
            ABC n XYZ, just get lost, get lost;

           ABC and XYZ, no more time for sweet words;
   ABC n XYZ, just give it up, give it up;

You like to turn to me, but I'm screaming get away,
I must enjoy that, Do you get that?

The siren is going on, the warning is getting on;
You are getting nervous, and I like that...

Haha

I"ll never get along drowning in your lies and watching your fake smiles;
So now its all Game Over...

You picked me out of many, and try to impress all along;
Why dont you stop all your cheap tricks yeah...

Chorus: ||Repeat||

You"ll never get along, coz you are like XYZ;
The fact you"ll never know that we are like ABC;
We are not puppets and toys, just get lost;
U better know to respect , we are like ABC;

Chorus: ||Repeat||

AUTUMNS CONCERTO THEME SONG-ENGLISH VERSION(by me... yeah...)

Throwing some life to my blog after a long time(with a sad song though)....

There were loads and loads of emotions mixed in the original song...I tried to match it...

I had never been told,that this could end sad,

And even if I had known,I would have never let you go..

Though my heart is so true and pure, 
then why do we have to be apart...

There is no shoulder to cry upon, 
as you are not by my side;

There is no face to smile, to light up my world..

I am thrown into the darkness ,
and I cant hide any more of my tears..

And I said-Hey don't leave me here alone,
 coz I cant see the world without you.

It feels like you've been taken away from me, 
this world is so cruel, I see you no more...

I do not own the photo

If I ever had a chance, to turn the time back, 
I would hold you tight and never let go;

But see the way I'm right now, 
it feels like I am falling apart...

As I said-Hey don't leave me here alone, 
coz I cant see the world without you.

It feels like you've been taken away from me, 
this world is so cruel, I see you no more...

A SONG DEDICATION TO MY GRANDPA(Late Mr.Sadasiva Reddy)....Song Inspiration from TS's Ronan song

We remember the days when , U turned on the radio and a beautiful day starts;
Racing down to the hallway, we find ourselves so happy to wish you first;

We remember your caring eyes looking into ours,
And then a warm smile comes along;

We remember your beautiful words, whenever we felt low,
Then feeling like having all the strength of the world;

We can still feel you standing here, amongst us, and laughing when we laugh.
You used to smile when we cousins fight;
And you always knew, that we loved you to the moon and back;

So let the time run back, and give us a beautiful day: today
Coz you were our best all years;

What if one of us find the life difficult and wish to talk to you??
What if one of us tops the college and wish to have a proud moment with you??
What if we really thought some miracle could see us through!!
And what if some miracle would even give one moment with you...!!

We remember the days when, U turned on the radio, and a beautiful day starts.... 

THE BEST DAY

YES!!! Just roll past your beautiful memories. You might have had a beautiful day to remember. That might have been the day when you topped the class and was eager to go home and tell the news to mom and dad. Or that might have been the day you rocked in a match or the college fest and was eager to be rained with appreciations from home. That might have been the day when you sit next to your mom or gone for a ride with your dad and talk about each and everything and you know your family is everything to you, its your world. Or that might have been the day when you fight with your brother/sister for reading all the messages in your mobile. 

And as you grow old, you become more independent, but still know that they will be there for you and that they will be watching your every step to success. And many a time you really want the time to run back and want all those "moments to remember" to be happening ever. You want that plenty place to run,  that backyard where you used to play hide and seek, and that cement road on which you played hopscotch.

But the hands of the clock will never tick back. Coz we have got ears to listen and heart to feel. But time doesn't and therefore you should take all the chances to say of how important your family is to you and how all the best days you had in your life was with them. LOve u Mom, dad n bro. I had the best days with you:)

Bonus: Check out my version of  the song Best Day by TS, my fav. singer.

My latest dicovery

I discovered latestly(lately rather) that I can SING. I love singing, though at times I go low for high notes and vice-versa. You know, sometimes it sounds horrible when I sing. LOL. Despite all these, I still love singing.

Music(songs) and Dance are always the sources of expressing one's feelings. To express those ideas and feelings we opt a language. So I really don't care of what language I prefer to sing in or dance to, coz in my opinion music or dance doesn't speak the language, but they'd speak the feelings, fun, excitement etc,. Yes!! I'd love to sing sometimes in Telugu(my mother-tongue), sometimes in Hindi, in English and also sometimes in Korean(which I am totally unfamiliar with).

If I feel like the notes and pitch would suit my voice, I'll start singing. And like many others I have a long list of my favorite singers. But the ones I'll always put in the top are Usha(a famous South Indian singer) and Taylor-Swift.

Usha was a well known singer in Tollywood. She became less active though, after her marriage. Her voice is so soothing and clear that one will never get bored even after listening her songs a hundred times.
Taylor Swift is a well known American Singer-Songwriter. She was one among the top country music singers moulded by Nashville. She writes songs from her personal experience. And the best part of her is that every word of her song comes from within her heart. And thats why I am the craziest fan of Swift

I gave it a try by singing her famous song WHITE HORSE. Though the battery went down and the entire song wasn't recorded, I still loved it and enjoyed while singing it:). So check it out and your comments(positive or negative) will always be welcomed.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzNDjWT0U0&feature=g-upl.

WHY NOT THINK IN A POSITIVE WAY??!!!

Indians are running away from the fear of fellow Indians. Isn't this weird?! Its obviously astonishing that a RUMOUR was the culprit behind this chaos.

Many of the North-East Indians left their jobs and their only income providers and now they are totally clueless about their future.

Hopefully Government has taken steps for finding out the origin of these disturbances and the effort did not go futile. As a result of the investigations, government decided to block some websites and sending of the bulk messages. Its only for the good cause- for preventing the further worsening of the situation in our country.

While the government and our fellow Indians are worrying about this chaos, here we are making fun of the decisions and restrictions made by the government. It shows how narrow-minded we are and how we are less-concerned about the worst problems our country is facing.

So friends, its really high time for us to change and support the government decisions and help to prevent the further exodus of our fellow Indians.

SPECIAL INDEPENDENCE DAY

Yes, it is. Coz exactly on this day, 65 years ago India took its birth as a sovereign nation. We celebrate Independence day every year on 15th August in the memory of all our freedom fighters and ofcourse our country's freedom. The president's "Address to the Nation", Indian flag on the ramparts of Red Fort, 21 gun shots in the solemn of occasion, the National Anthem, the march past by the army, Chief Minister's speech etc,.----This is the way Independence Day always is.

But Independence Day this year is special, not just by the way it always is, but it is about the reason it holds to be special.

  

Six stalwarts in Olympics-London dazzled in the name of one nation- INDIA. 

MARY KOM and SAINA NEHWAL stood as the epitomes for rising women power and success. 

Magnificent Mary, as she is called by the International boxing association, was the five time world champion. The mother of twins enrolled the name of India in the history of woman boxers of the world. So hats off to her.

Saina Nehwal who earned India its first medal in Badminton, has a tendency of fighting for each point. She hopes for more Indian Badminton players to challenge the domination of Chinese in the game. She was disappointed  as she could not give her total performance in the Bronze medal match. Don't worry Saina, your energy and will power deserves a medal.

Ace rifleman Gagan Narang who added India into the Bronze medal list, brought cheers to the fans who were disappointed as Bindra misfired. But we all have to remember that he once gave India a gold medal, and this time he too did put his effort. He was just unlucky though.

On the other hand sport shooter Vijay Kumar won silver medal in the individual 25m rapid fire pistol.

Wrestlers Yogeshwar Dutt and Sushil Kumar gave their best performances and won Bronze and Silver for India. The fans cheers for the wrestlers reached the sky as soon as they reached the podium. While Sushil shared his victory and medal with his wife, Dutt's mother feels like its high time for him to get married.LOL.

Its really high time for all of us to understand that every sport or game needs support and encouragement. Then by the next Olympics India too could record grand successes and medals. Really hoping for India to be soon called as a ONE-SPORT nation to MULTIPLE-SPORT nation.

JAI HIND.    

Indian Pop to English-pop to K-Pop......

Yes....It's not just North-East India who did enter into the K-pop world, it's also been occupying the entire nation. But why did not people of India recognize K-Pop's beauty before. The sole reason is the language problem.

We have been appreciating English music along with the Indian music. It is not just the language of the songs which is understandable, but its also that we could sing them back. It seems K-pop learnt this secret. The only way to make the entire world appreciate, is to sing in a language that the entire world could understand.

So singers are working hard to learn the language. More importance should and will always be given to the pronunciation though.

Thats what South -Korean pop music did. The best example is "The-Boys", by Girl's Generation(SNSD).
It rocked the entire nation. (Just remembering like how our slum-dog millionaire's Jai Ho won laurels from the entire world).

Many of us started liking K-Pop and has become fans of it. I am one among them. I love SNSD. Though there came out only two English songs('The Boys' and 'Diamond'), I still love to listen to their songs as the music is extra-ordinary.

Out of my crazy love for SNSD and K-Pop, I am trying out some english lyrics for their songs(which are actually in Korean language), just for fun(after my college, I dont wanna sit idle;)). So people running through my blog, and who share the common craziness like mine, please leave your valuable comments.

Here is my first effort.

ON THE DAY WHEN I TURNED 20:)

Hmmm....Well Sush asked me to get on with my thinking and writing stuff, stressing on the point to fill atleast one book;)...LOL...My 20th B'DAY was the specialest one...See...I am creating my own words to describe it;)
Its special coz I turned 20...Gosh, all the memories of my teens are wonderful and lovely...Was I supposed to be sad coz I am not a teenager anymore??? nahhhhhhhhhhh..........

11:45 of 5th February--->>>>Mom calls and wishes me; She wants to be the first one to wish, as always. So wishing early is never wrong.  Infact that was my idea...Hehe...My bro wishes next...Happy...So then I promised myself to give up VD crap and High School Musical crap...LOL..Yeaahhh...From 12:00 am, its gonna be my day.

My day has finally arrived. Sush and Hary were the first to wish.I was taken to somewhere(Coz my eyes were closed). All the while I was thinking why dad, the person I love the most, didn't call me yet. But then I got convinced for he might be tired with his jouney to Hyd..I was sure of getting his wishes very early in the morning:)

The Cake was awesome, not just in words, but it was really awesome. chocolate flavor Yummy...Then comes Laky to wish me..Then hard time to blow off magic candles...My best buddies Laky n Hary helped me though:)

Surprised to see many people around singing 'HAPPY BA' song for me...Hehe...IT's fun creating nature is always awesome...Thanks to all...Lakky,Hary sqaure,Manju, Divya, Praveena, Sindhu, Navya, Swathi, Manasa, Monica, Appu, Preethi, Rochi, and my beloved EIE gang.....

My first piece of cake will always be to my best buddies Laky n Hary... After all, despite many misunderstandings friends will be friends forever...Everytime we fight, we become closer:)

Gifts will always be awesome. But one or two will be shocking. Yes!!! I had one such gifts. Lollypops by Sush..Even if she got chocolates for me, she could have swallowed them before giving 'em to me...She always used to be the robber of my chocolates...I used to call her shyless creature///LOL...But surprisingly this time she had been a good girl....Or rather a poor gal...She might have resisted hard....Love u Sush....

Asha's art work greeting was awesome..Three idiots pen stand was cute..and finally comes 2011 calendar..
It was splendid. Each month had pictures of my bestest friends. It will be one of the things, or I call it special thing, which I could carry with me through out my life...

THANKS TO ALL MY FRIENDS FOR MAKING EACH AND EVERY MOMENT AND THIS B'DAY SPECIAL:)

SO LUCKY TO HAVE A SIBLING:>

Yes! I am lucky to have one. That cute fights, ever lasting smiles, sweet naughtiness.....Its all because of u my dear wonderful brother.

There are lots and lots of memorable moments of us. But to me, some are ultra special.

Its really a surprise when your's and mom's opinions differ. She says, "Anie! You look cool in this dress". But you will definitely say "Yuck!You look bad. Where did you buy it? In China Bazaar?!!".I feel like screaming,"Mind your business". But later I will feel the same like you. I loved it when you accompanied me for shopping and told me what suits me better:)

Remember Dec 9 th,2011, I met with an accident. Oops! Sorry, we met with an accident. You started crying on seeing my bruised leg. (I know, I know, I too was crying like a 10 year old kid!!). You were tensed and to comfort you, I had to lie to you saying I was alright.(My mind was whispering to me "Anie! I think you have a fractured ankle". Though it was not a disastrous accident, you were worried than anybody else and used to have that 'Its-all-coz-of-me' face when you sit next to me saying nothing, but just looking at my bruised leg.

When I say "Yuck" on seeing you with beard, you say with that irritating attitude "Huh!!Whatever... I always look better than you". I feel like showing you my punch power. But I know that you are stronger than me and I end up saying "Agreed".

I could never forget the days when you used to change refills in my pens and then used to come out with the face of an innocent baby(as if you have done nothing) . I used to know it only when I start writing my notes in the class. Red pen writes blue and blue pen writes red. When all my friends used to be busy in writing the notes, I used to be busy in planning of how to teach you a lesson after the school.

Hmmmm....Let me make it short. To that cute and naughty brother of mine who is now 18 years old, I would like to leave a message... I love you a lotttttttttttttttttttttt.....

A REASON

There will always be reasons for our existence in this world. Though the reasons differ from one individual to the other , there always exists one reason which is COMMON for the entire mankind.This common reason is named LOVE.

To know the real meaning of love, one need to feel it and share it. That is the reason why God created wonderful bonds around us like parents, sisters, brothers, relatives, friends. He only wanted us to experience love. This love should be ever-lasting and true.

Unfortunately, mankind started discovering materialistic bonds-money, superiority, selfishness of possessing everything. Slowly love lost its meaning.

The common reason is not achieved, implies all the other reasons to be worthless and futile.

I'M (not) A MERMAID

Chapter 5::::::

As the car drove us along the streets of Texas , I was deeply hoping for the city to disappear faster. I was damn excited.

Finally my eagerness came to a halt. The Lalaland was such a beautiful place. And the rain added to its beauty. Michelle and Linda pulled me out of the car. Though Michelle visited this place many times before, she was much more excited as this time I accompanied her.

Linda's ancestral home was a kinda old and a bit frightening. As it was raining heavily , I along with Linda and Michelle had to run into the house. Mud water

got into my shoes. But I was least bothered about that. Michelle's mom followed us with all the stuff she got with her.

Linda's granny is a kind and loving person I have ever seen. She served us with good food(sea food). She asked us not to go to the beach until the rain stops. But we wanted to go out in the rain. To while away our time she started telling us the stories of Lalaland And Its Beauty. The stories were so interesting. And that is when I started feeling a strange itching in my feet. My feet was turning red. When I told this to Michelle she advised me not to worry as it is the first time my feet got wet with the mud water. She said "Your feet will be ok soon. Just listen to the stories dear".

Even after half-an-hour my feet didn't show any improvement.I still had the itching sensation. The rain was no more. All three of us ran to the beach. But this itching in my feet was getting worse......

I'M (not) A MERMAID

CHAPTER 4:

It started drizzling outside. Sitting at the window side and enjoying the rain is my favourite passtime, coz I was never allowed to go outside in the rain.
As the rain started pouring my thoughts started pondering. "Why is that I always had so many restrictions. Why can't I be normal and live life like others? What's that worrying dad so much about me?". There were many more questions which always remained unanswered.

From outside the window I felt like someone's staring at me. To my surprise it was Michelle. As soon as I saw her , she picked her phone and started texting. Within seconds I received her message. --"I know you are missing all the fun. We are going to the beach again. Your dad is out. All you need to do is to skip outta your window--The only way--Got just 10 minutes--Really wish to have fun?! Then rush!!"

It just took 5 minutes for me to get out of the house. None of the maids noticed me escaping. I just threw myself into Michelle's car. While I was wondering how dad would feel finding out my absence, a soothing voice said 'Hello' to me. It was Michelle's mom.Later I messeged my dad--' Dad, gone out with my friends. Will be back by evening.SAFE".

Finally this is what I was waiting for --My first journey into the outside world began.:)
