A day spent living..

I must have thought a hundred times before posting this photo album called "candid" to my facebook profile ( I actually deleted it thrice before finally posting it). And strangely, what was stopping me was this really strong gut feel that by doing so, I may just hurt someone's sentiments.. (of course one of them whose pics I was willing to post in the album). After all, I was going to make some of the amazing but very private moments of theirs, public. They had all the right to detest me for doing that. And I would never ever want that. Besides, I've never indulged into such tasks before. So may be it was the first time factor!

I kept like really really wanting to post them though. I wanted to share some of my fave moments at MICA.. with those special souls who actually made them worth cherishing.

Yet again, the contradictions of life had to leave me confused. ( What's new in life??) The sensitive me was at constant war with the frivolous me. And like every other time, I took in my stride. I kept postponing it , " I'll post it sometime later. " I told myself. That went on for almost 6 months ( Yes Guys, I have maintained a folder called 'fb pics' with all these pics in it for all this while!). Everytime I felt bad about not being amidst you all, I used to see it. And that was quite often.

I'd almost kept it aside for a task on hand, hardly knowing that out of nowhere the frivolous one would actually emerge to gain a glorious victory. But what led to that may just be a wee bit more interesting for you all to know.

During my stint at Grey, one of the most important things that I have come to learn is doing things that I strongly feel for. And that may just be to all your delight! You guys kept asking me to do that all the six months in MICA. Ohh, how I wish I'd paid heed to that, especially now that I know, how much fun it all is, the moment we begin doing that. I decided to get it in here. Brimming with belief, I went online and posted the album.

And how glad I feel, that I did. It made me feel so good, almost like winning over my inhibitions. Something I've been finding very difficult to do for sometime now. And when I got to know that you guys loved it too, I felt so stupid. Sometimes, things we write off as weird or undoable, turn out so well.. really well.. And how could I even think that people, who gave me the best six months of my life, would not understand me?

I gave myself a jolt and began reading the never-ending list of comments that kept my inbox ticking for almost the whole day.

I had just received yet another special gift from CCC17 - 22nd September 2010, a beautiful memory and a day to cherish for the rest of my life.

Thanks guys!
