The End.

Every good thing comes to an end.

However good they maybe, they will end. Some will end in fifteen days, some in minutes, some take years and other even longer like lifetimes but they all end. Friendships, relationships, love stories, travels, careers and in the end, lives.

How foolish are we to think so highly of our passions, and our adventures to think that our stories will mean anything to anyone except us. In the great big universe that there is we are nothing but a blink of an eye; here today gone tomorrow. Every book in the world tries to teach us to either get rid of temptation or to give in to it and we do, one or the other, in the end only to realize that it makes no difference at all.

And it makes you wonder, what was the point of all of that, all the aspirations, the yearnings, the wants and the ambitions.

Stuck in reverse

When you try your best and you don’t succeed. When you get what you want, but not what you need. When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep.  The last few weeks have been the most trying weeks of my adult life. Being a new adult, I haven’t had as many, but these are the first of their kind. In some ways, it’s one of those situations that put everything into perspective. It reminds you to never get too comfortable, never plan more than two months in advance, and more than anything - that the only thing that's constant is change. I think the reason this change has been so frustrating is because it is because of nothing other than pure bad luck. And when you have your dream job in a fairly good city and some really good friends and you are prepared to enjoy this for at least a little bit. You don’t want all of this taken away two weeks after you bought a matching dresser for your apartment. There is no one to blame, maybe the government, but I guess you can blame the governm

25 before, after or during 25.

A checklist of sorts.  Lists on the internet are so irresistible. Thought Catalog and Buzzfeed endlessly thrive on this format, and I contribute to an unhealthy percentage of those list readers. So here is one, the quarter century milestone. What I have accomplished and what I am yet to make peace with and things that are still work in progress. This is not something you need to apply to your life, because you and I are as different as different can be. Make your own list.   1. Parents - this is the big one. Make peace with your parents. Get to know them, as infuriating as it is, get to know their political party preference and their views on homosexuality. Reason with them why you are right or try to see what their point of view is. And if they have, give them credit for how far they have come to accept changes in the society from when they were kids. The last two years of living with my parents gave me tons of opportunity to do this, though it did end in a lot of shouting

Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.

Ah, how long have I waited to put this perfect blog title to use. That movie is iconic, watch it if you haven't. Croatia is for lovers, honeymooners, friends, your B-School buddies and traveling with your family. This country by the Adriatic Sea has something for everyone. And since there are so many blogs out there about Croatia and travel, I will only use this space to talk about our itinerary, experience and general enlightenment. Why did we settle on Croatia - a. because neither of us had been there. b. because it has both beaches and mountains. c. its not crazy expensive. d. because it was midway(sort of, not really) between India and the US. e. because it would fit exactly in the number of days we had giving us plenty of opportunity to relax and to explore new things and f. because it looks so damn beautiful. Highlights and Takeaways - Food is quite average, apart from the abundance of, as Ina Garten would put it, good truffle and good wine and good olive oil an
