Rejuvenation from a Humdrum life :)

What might be the secret behind this rejuvenation ? , its none other than the most intoxicating word , "NIGHT-OUT" :D , this word might sound simple to you folks but its a source of cherishing the small wonderful moments with your fellow beings again :) what struck your mind when you saw this word ,probably you might have ended up thinking a night out for studies ?is it  :p than you are sailing in the wrong boat !! (PS: hardly few specimens get such rare thought's !! )
After a long gap the most awaited day took its turn again when we cousins planned up a night-out , in today's highly competitive world, everyone started keeping themselves busy with work just to earn one extra penny to fulfill their desires because of which it was so difficult to plan up something wherein everyone's presence was a criteria and finally it did happen , that's what make's me agog and i ended up writing this blog.
This day i don't know why but i found the sunset so damn pleasing may be because it marked the start of our night-out which started with playing cards till late hour's accompanied by notorious deed's, fun loving talks and gossip's, the atmosphere was lit with loud roar and laughter ...this all continued till around 2:30  am followed by a snack's break where we all headed towards ram bhai (This man is famous for 3 am idly's and dosa's stall and undoubtedly its the most demanded place of the night's in hyderabad ). On the way back home we kept sipping coffee, thrilling ghost story's  kept us awake and alert  and night started getting more adventurous and we landed up in a park :D More crazier things continued making it the most remarkable night that can be treasured and kept in my sweet memories .
The nature of unconditional love bore its first seed within that few hours and i was at cloud 9 :) Finally, sun has got his hat on and we caught hold of our pillows and dozed off  !! Did you have such kind of crazy stupid night out's ? if no then what are you waiting for ..go on..."Live Life King Size " , who know's kal ho na ho ! :)
                         - st@y tuned ... love kjo <3

Till The Last Breath

I'm never a comfortable reader. Reading never comes to me as a natural talent, but that has not stopped my desire to read novels when ever I want to. This time on the advice of my ma'am I decided to read a novel. With the help of my mate I got to read Durjoy Datta's "Till the Last Breath". The author started the story in the hospital which served as a prelude to the story going to come. For the most part of the book revolved around describing the role of the characters involved in the story. Among all of them, it was about two patients and there contrasting characters who were about to die.  One of them was Dushyanth and other was Pihu. Counting their last breath.

 As the story continuous you get to know how harsh life can sometimes be. Reading about Pihu just gave you joie de vivre but then angst and pain too. She was a joyful,nonchalant,a kidult! A absolute genius in terms of her medical studies, topper in her medical entrance should have become the best doctor in the course of time. Always smiling and though she had ALS (Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis) to sink her to slow but a sure death! She always was positive,determined to live.  Which surely gave you exuberant joy and refreshment.

 On the other bed was Dushyanth completel contrasting to what pihu was. If you felt encouraged to read about Pihu. You surely would have had pity on Dushyanth. He was egregious and left no stones un-turned to die or to get to the position he was in. He smoked,drank alcohol,drugs to an extent where his kidney and lungs almost gave up. He was arrogant,rude and impatient.

 The story describes about there past life,there present situation and their journey to almost certain death. The author successfully shifts a boring intro to a very touchy and impressive but a sad ending. A book to read I must say atleast to know how to still be happy in a cruel and a harsh situation!.. keep smiling..
