Best Friend!
A lot of people think i make friends very easily. Well, that definitely IS NOT true! I bond with people who are down to earth. I'm pretty selective when it comes to making friends. My friends don't have to be supremely talented or have the best of phones. I just ant them to stand by me in difficult times. So who is a best friend for me? Here it goes!
- A best friend is a person who will hug you when you say leave me alone and don't mean it
- A best friend is someone with whom you can sit in Lodhi garden or Juhu beach for hours and talk nonsense.
- A best friend is someone who dares to make a puking face to your crush/boyfriend.
- A best friend is someone who will draw 200 plus doodles at the back of your maths notebook later to be yelled!
- A best friend is someone who will take a really weird picture of yours and refuse to delete it!
- A best friend is someone with whom you have all amazing memories!
- A best friend is someone who will wipe your tears before they wipe their own.
- A best friend is someone who supports you in every situation.
- A best friend is someone who will give you nudges under the table and weird looks when your crush passes by!
- A best friend is someone who knows all your darkest secrets but wont spill it out!
- A best friend is someone who will draw diagrams in your bio journal because he/she knows you cant draw well!
- A best friend is someone who will shout at you and talk rude to you. But later annoy you by saying sorry a 100 times!
- A best friend is someone whom you can call at 12 in the night just to tell how you got ditched.
- Best friends are like parents. They just don't go. No matter what happens, they will stand by you :)
This is to all my Best friends who have understood me and supported me in my darkest times :) and laughed along with me on those sunny days!

Hey girl, you are beautiful
It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and I was curled on my bed with a bowl of popcorns and watching roadies rerun (my idea of a perfect afternoon). Suddenly what caught my attention was a girl who wet her eyes saying that in her school years she thought she was ugly and suffered inferiority complex. This comment of hers shook my senses a bit and touched me deep inside. It was indeed hurting to a young girl in her 20’s with a pleasant personality and pretty smile to think she wasn’t beautiful.
This incident also took my mind back to another incident which happened not quite long back. Demi Lovato, the star of Camp rock had just entered the dusty road of stardom .She had recorded her debut album, landed up in her own show and given a superhit movie! A chain of events led her to rehabilitation centre. In her post rehabilitation interview stated that as a child she had a really unhealthy relationship with food and always had a complex about her weight and thought she wasn’t good looking. Her complex catapulted her from Hollywood to rehabilitation centre.
It often disturbs me deeply when girls get these issues about their weight or their face. Often they are convinced that they might not find the right type of guy cause they don’t look how they want to. They cut themselves, stop eating the right kind of food and sometimes even get into severe depression. A survey showed that 8/10 girls aren’t satisfies with the way the look and wouldn’t mind popping diet pills and going for a surgery.
So this is to all the girls out there who think they aren’t pretty. Even though your smile might not be Colgate or SFX material, there are a lot of people who can go to any lengths to evoke it. You might not have the perfect size zero figure but hey curves are in now!You are beautiful in your sweatpants and even without your face caked in make-up. You are truly beautiful, you just need the right person to recognize your beauty!

Down the memory lane - A letter to 13 year old me
Dear Nupur,
Life is like a omnibus of blind turns, you never know which turn it might take next. So live in the moment and be ready to accept whatever comes in you way. Life is definitely not going to be easy now. You will have a lot of pressure. Your parents will force you to take courier option of their choice, your friends will force you to take part in activities you might not really want to do and you will make many mistakes which you will later regret.
You will break hearts, probably many. Sometimes you will hurt the person who matters to you the most. So remember how you felt when someone broke yours. You will have your trust broken and sometimes your closest friends might do so. Don't trust anyone blindly and don't break anyone's trust.
Your parents will slowly stop understanding you now. They will become over-protective. They will stop you from doing certain things without giving a reason. You will have sleepless nights. But remember, this is the age and never argue with your parents. Whatever they do, is for your own good.
And remember, be sincere about life not serious! This is a crucial time but don't lose your childhood in the process!
Have fun with your friends, take a lot of pictures, smile a lot. Cause every minute you spend in anger, you lose 60 seconds of your happiness :)

Its complicated
natural numbers->Integers->rational numbers-> polynomials->linear equation in one variable->linear equations in two variables->quadratic equation
The above order just made me realize how things get complicated as we grow up.
Sometimes its we who like to complicate stuff.
In class one if i had a fight with my best friend, it would resolve within minutes and the next day we would forget what had happened and go back to being best friends again.
In class five if i had a fight with my best friend, It would take a couple of days for us to talk. And then we would go back to be best friends but still have that grudge in our mind.
And now in class tenth, If we fight, I would take weeks to resolve and even if we start talking we would be convinced that we cannot be best friends again.
WHAT IS THAT?
I have a theory which says every human being has glasses on their eyes which makes objects appear bigger than they are. I mean how does it matter if we talk or don't talk? Do i become the most depressed person on the earth? Why does someone have to cry if their love in not reciprocated? Does life end here?
NO!
Then why do we always tend to think in the wrong way and complicate our lives? This obviously didn't happen when we were kids.Right? Why cant people be happy even if something in their life is not right? Why cant people see things as they are?
Growing up complicates stuff. It truly does.

A new beginning
This December marks the end of 2011, and the beginning of a brand new year! Due to my optimistic view towards life, I have always considered endings to be a beginning for a new things.
Life is a omnibus of blind turns. And mine was changing gears at a stunning speed before it halted in the middle of nowhere and life took a neutral gear. Nothing much interesting is happening right now. My bus neither moves forward nor backward.
I really hope 2012 will set new goals, targets and adventures for me!
For those who didn't know, I'm turning fifteen on the third of January. No sooner i did realize that i was going to be a year older and a year wiser too! For me growing up doesn't simply mean getting freedom or adding more candles on the cake. Growing up is not only physical. You grow stronger emotionally and spiritually every new year!
2011 has indeed taught me a lot. Some of the facts i will cherish for the rest of life. It has taught me if you trust somebody a lot, they will simply walk over you. It has taught me to love yourself more than you love anyone else. It has taught me to keep certain things to yourself. It has taught me its not good to peak in others life's, It has taught me that we have to find our own definition of our lives. It has taught me how to be sincere and not serious.
The core of my blog will be that every new year, every new experience has something or the other to teach. Absorb inspiration from everything around you. Grow up to form a mature individual full of values and rich experiences.
(P.S: Don't forget to wish me on january 3rd :) )
