What Harry and Hermione taught me!

I have been a Potterhead for a long time now...

Not because the imaginary world and magic fascinates me, but because of the way it teaches us the value of relationships be it that of friendship, love or even enmity, it says about them all!

Harry and Hermione being my treasured lesson!

----------------------------------------------------------

They taught me that a girl and boy can be together their whole life and still remain friends...

They taught me whatever the hell happens if you hold on to your friends, then you could have all the power to change the world!

They taught me even though how weird and hopeless you are to the rest of the world, you will always have your best friend's  back...

They taught me to trust each other and have faith in each other even while doing the dumbest of things...

They taught me how best friends stand up for each other in  demanding times...

They taught me if you are the "better than the best" kind of friends, how  you understand each other even without saying a word...

They taught me to cope up with mood swings of your bestfriend and forgive each time they do something wrong out of a bad mood...

They taught me that it is possible to find a home in someone away from your real home...

Hermione taught me to choose your friendship over love when he needed her the most...

Every time when Harry hides something Hermione comes up with a "What is it Harry?"

Every time he takes a step to go all alone she comes up with a "I'll go with you"

Harry taught me how a boy can make his friend smile even when she is going through hell...

How a boy understand the slightest change in her behaviour when she is sad...

How he will go miles to keep her safe and fight for what she deserves...

At last they taught me how much every Hermione needs a Harry to be complete and vice versa!😍

Can't deny the fact that it is a wonderful feeling to know that you have someone who will stand by your side through all the ups and downs, through all those stupid decisions you have took so far and will take in the years to come, through all the smiles you will ever have and all those tears you will ever endure!

After all Friendship is its own brand of a powerful magic!✨

Dilwalon Ki Dilli!

The very first day I set my foot on this soil, I knew this that something was different about the air that goes around here, the wind that blows and even the busy people who seems to be robotic in their movements. I never appreciated a metro city life and my encounter with Delhi made my fear for busy and systematic life much bigger.  But there was something that still held me close to this land.

When I started my post-graduation college life in Punjab, Delhi was the first and most picky choice for a weekend relaxation! Delhi was just 6 hrs away from Bathinda, given that we had direct ‘Punjab Mail’ train service from Bathinda to Delhi and Vice versa for easy and cashless transportation (let me admit my sin, actually we never took tickets for this train journey). It was like making plans and packing our bags at the very last moment, calling a rikshaw and reaching the station when the train was just minutes away from leaving it, rushing towards the platform and chasing the train just like another Shahrukh Khan movie scene. 6 hrs of travelling, you can’t actually call it travelling, each journey from Bathinda to Delhi via Punjab mail that too in a General Compartment was never less than an adventure, sometimes we have to stand for hours without getting a seat, can’t close our eyes due to the fear of thieves and not to mention those devilish eyes falling upon us because we were girls! 

But once we reach Delhi, it is another level of refreshment in itself. You will totally forget the amount of pain you took to travel all the way; I must say Delhi worth it all!

The city seems to tell you a lot of stories; stories of love, sorrows, battles, protests, and moreover struggles. The most attractive thing about Delhi is that the city never sleeps, with all its streets that often come to life after sunsets. Wandering along those streets is the most exciting thing I have ever done. Those constant calling and screaming by street vendors, the hectic crowd in which you will float away like a leaf over a river, the smell of food and cloths mixed with joy, the flashy lights that snatch away your sleep; in shot the markets of Delhi are pure bundle of happiness if you aren’t a fan of brands, privacy and posh life! Can’t argue that those pictures we seen on the outskirts of the city are the best or even anywhere near pleasant, but they are arguably the real India!

I could never explain why this land feels so special, being just another planned city, the National Capital of India. Maybe it is that excitement I had as a child, that one day I will visit this city, with all its monuments which stands high reflecting the brilliance of Mughal Architecture. The same monuments which I have only studied and seen in books and television. To roam around in the same gardens in front of those forts and palaces where someday back in history some Emperor may have roamed, to feel those forts which would have seen a number of battles back then, to imagine being one of those soldiers who died protecting this land, to feel life in past tense!

The streets and metros of Delhi isn’t different from those of Kochi, Chennai, and Kolkata, but the feel it gives is undoubtfully different from others.

In short, Delhi excites me for no accurate reason but still a thousand reasons at the same time.

Birthday Love Captain!

This day is the much awaited day of my life since years...! 

I must say even more exciting than my own birthday!

July 7! 

This day some 39 years ago God would have been really happy that he planned to make something really special. Like once in a blue moon kind of thing! And yes, he made it! He made MS Dhoni! ✨

People says that their life will always be remembered like before and after MSD, but for me, when I look back...there is nothing before MSD! Life seems to kickstart from 2005 I guess🥴 From the day of his first international century! That 148 runs knock was indeed the first and most beautiful gift he has ever given me, because from that day back in April 2005 I started believing in a one man army! It still makes me awestruck when I look back, all these years how I managed to trust a single man to win every match he played in a game of 11 players! 🤷

Still wonder how I used to believe that if Dhoni is in the crease then there is always a chance to win! 

Always...even if I know it's too late! 

For most people they love him for what he was and what he has become! But for me, I love him for what he made me!

Being a girl, it was for him that I raised my voice for the first time against boys😝 

Remembering those childhood days when I would quarrel with every single human on earth if they say something bad about Dhoni! 

(My 8th classmates😂 I am sorry for all those trouble) 

It was for him that after 12th I made up my mind to took up Journalism as a career!

(You may find this insane, but it's true)

I aspired to be a sports journalist just to get a glimpse of him! Not like every other fan out there, I wanted to spend some quality time with him, to sit with him and talk about his life, his career and possibly everything under the sky!

That's when I realized if only I become a sports journalist someday I would be lucky enough to interview him✨

Without any second thoughts I choose this life that I am living today😊 all because of this man!

It was through him when he brought the World Cup to India after 28 years, that I realized dreams do come true when you have the power to chase them!

It was him, who taught me to get up and stand every time life knocks me down! Just like he lead CSK to win 2018 IPL title after a ban of two years! 

The one thing that I always wanted to learn from him but failed miserably is to keep calm during testing times...I still look up to him and hope I will learn that skill one day! ✨

In short, this man was the biggest inspiration of my life for past 15 years and will continue to be so for the rest of my life! 

People says "Inspirations can come from anywhere" and I agree that to the core...

Because for me Inspiration is that imaginary line that you set for yourself, that nobody else but only you could see!

And this man helped me pushing my limits!

Remembering Sushant Singh Rajput, the man who gave his 100 percent to give life to Dhoni on Big Screens💖 I will forever be indebted to you! You will be in my heart till my last day and beyond that! Thank you Sushant! 

Here is wishing a lifetime of love and happiness to the man who continue to inspire me in ways unimaginable 💗

Happy Birthday MSD💖✨
