Aadha hai chandrama

After a long long time, welcome back folks!!!! As you can expect you have missed many a pages from my dairy dearest, writing as I am after half a semester of IIT!! I have had my midsem and quizzes, (and associated joys and traumas). I have had my share of secy giri, debate practices, and my first national debate tournament at Bangalore. I have had my treats with girlfriends and boyfriends (:D) , my roomie’s bday and okk lets give it a break... I have had 7776000 eventful seconds since I last wrote to you ( 3 months folks!)

But last night junta, I had my sudden inspiration to talk to you. Last night , although nothing apparently incredible or magnanimous about it, I saw the moon. Half moon, it hung right there at my window , with its ambient dreamy clouds and sparkling diamond stars, cool breeze , and velvety darkness, and the mystic silence and peace of the night! The sight was too enchanting for me to share alone! I had to write and spread the spell on to you :)

Wondering why this exaggeration? Simple, it is exactly these fairyland moments and dreams of mine that this blog is going to be about!!.. I am going to tell you my deepest emotions, my darkest fears and the strong almost magical place of them in my heart. I am going to tell you how the Alice in Wonderland ruled my dreamland, how Miss Granger bugged me to books (and IIT itself), and how Aesop’s Fables and Panchtantra inked down my ethics with a permanent marker .

Now, as we all know the most fabulous thing that can happen to any one is the chance to be a girl!! a 7 year old girl; with fairy tales to read , barbies to play, cartoons to watch and mummy dearest to complete the day with a fairtale lullaby!! Naturally then you can digest this consequence: I aimed of being an astronomer!!! Right since the unfortunate Kalpana Chawala mishap triggering strong impacts and hype on my little heart, astronomy fascinated me beyond words. I dreamt of landing up on Pluto , hehe, and had this grand plan of a break journey with halts on every planet and their moons!! :D.. I used to talk with the moon, ah yesss and this is where this blog began...coz it was this regular habit of mine to talk to the moon in those days that made the simple moonlight to flashback my past...The moon, it always hung up ever so same way , right at my window. He was ever so patient, ever so calm, ever so bright and yes, ever so magical. It was before the time I started with my dairy, every night just before sleeping I used to gaze up and recount all my day to him , and every day the same promise, “don’t cry dear, I will sure kiss you some fine day”(remember astronomer :) )

Childhood, thy name is innocence :)

Ahhh...and then the time flew, just like the way it always does. The real world played its catch ups, life painted its myriad hues; destiny’s prejudices replaced the fiery dragons, the cut throat rat race replaced the king’s battles, pens replaced the swords, hostels replaced the castles , IIT replaced Hogwarts. The real world played its catch up folks, until one day the moon knocked the window unattended, until one day Simba was outcasted from my heartland, until one day Andy threw away his Woody...

The real world played its catch ups junta; like every one of us here life bestowed on me my share of joys and sorrows, my claim at fame, my claim of shame; with its constant downpour of lessons to teach , Life has poked the Sleeping Beauty awake. The child has realized no Santa Claus would ride down to her this Christmas...
Sigh! Am I being a pessimist? Well that depends on your interpretation of “real world”. Is real world always grim??...
Mr.Right replaced Prince Charming ,but you know, he is loads better than the fairylander!!! :D
