The Liebster Award.

Thankyou ClockeryFairfeld for the nominating me :) for the Liebster Awards.

According to the information I have gathered. The Liebster Awards are basically like the '20 facts about yourself' challenge on instagram, except that you are to answer 11 question by the nominator and nominate 11 other bloggers to answer your 11 questions. Anyways the following are the steps you have to follow if you been tagged !

1. Display the Liebster Award badge on your blog.

2. Thank and link back to the person who nominated you.

3. Answer the nominator’s 11 questions.

4. Nominate 11 other new bloggers.

5. Draft 11 new questions for the people nominated by you.

6. Notify your nominees.

So here are the 11 questions ClockeryFairfeld has for me:

1. What do you think is your purpose in life?

Hmm... My purpose in life.. Well I think the purpose behind my life is to increase the living population on earth xD Just kidding. To read all the existing books.

On the serious note I think the purpose behind my life is to help achieve perfect equality amongst men and women and to help the poor lead a better life.

2. Is there any person (real or fictional) who has a negative attitude but you sympathise with them?

Sir Nathuram Vinayak Godse.

Not that he had a negative attitude, but most people unfortunate people think he did.

That might be an irrelevant answer but I can't think of anybody except Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2 ( he was the villian).
Anyways I don't have a relevant answer for this question. Sorry.

3. What is the one thing you don’t like about yourself and would do anything to change?

I have been over mature for say 16 years (that's how old I am Bl ). So I don't think that I have enjoyed my childhood efficiently (really? Commerce has successfully grown on me). So yup, I would like to change that about my self.

4. Why do you blog publicly rather than writing your thoughts down only for yourself?

We live in a world with the ever growing population of 7.2 billion people. I believe that somewhere on this planet there is at least one person who is going through the same thing as I am. And I want to be able to comfort that person by letting them know that he/she is not alone. That there is someone who truely understands you.
This might sound crazy, but yeah.

5. If you could do only one thing all day long, then what would you do?

I would admire the beauty of nature.

6. What is your outlook towards the world?

The world is a merry place with over hyped, pretty internal as well as external issues.

7. If you die and go to heaven, what would you want it to be like?

My latest Harry Potter mania would not let me answer anything but Hogwarts.

8. Supposing you had only 24 hours more to live, what would you do in that time?

I would write to ask my dear ones or meet them in person if I could to tell them how amazing they are. Why only dear ones. I would tell as many people as I can.

9. Any person who you haven’t seen in a long time but still remember as though it was just yesterday you’d seen them?

Not just one but a lot. And I can't unveil there names unfortunately.

10. What do you think of your life so far?

My life so far has been fantastic and I would like to thank everyone who had made it that way.

11. What cheers you up when you’re down and not in the best moods?

Music. Ice cream. Shopping. Best friends. PASTA. :) .

10) Which language are you eagerly waiting to learn ?

And finally,

11) What do you think about my blog ? 

The past "perfect" tense.

You see the gola wala standing right outside your building and are longing for a rose gola. But can't eat it because of the prevention alerts about the flu. Isn't that sad ? You spot these GORGEOUS HEELS but can't buy them as they are out of your budget. Isn't that sad ? You fall in love with a character and then realize it isn't real. Plain fantasy. Isn't that sad ? You see a VERY good looking guy and all you want to do is go straight towards him and do "things" with him. Five minutes of adoration later his girlfriend comes along and shatters your dreams. Isn't that sad ?

Well I miss those days when reasons behind your sadness were this simple. I miss how easy life was. How uncomplicated it was. How the secretest secret between you and your best friend  was "I stole her eraser, don't tell her." How your parents knew the in and out of your life. How you had mistaken Nicholas Sparks for a female. How ice cream and chocolates could easily wash away your sadness. How everything was transparent. I miss those days of innocence and stupidity.

Gone are the times when everything was genuine and had a meaning. When an 'okay' just meant 'okay'. When there was a world outside gadgets and the internet. When conversations were face to face rather than on whatsapp. It's weird how the globe shrinked. And how materialism and selfishness is more common in people than humanity. The people in it seem to matter less. It's of little surprise to me how we're so taken by generally "nice" people. Because they're a dying breed.

Time and tide waits for no man. So do the changes that come with its passing. It is wise to accept the changes and find the silver lining of the cloud.

"No matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away."

P.S This is my first official Collab. I was honoured to work with Matt. Please do check his blog. He writes brilliant poetry !
