DUSK TILL DAWN

 I felt an amazing warmth when I turned those pages of the slam book and reminisced all those memories.

Though there are social networking sites and many other ways to stay connected now, for me writing is the best way to express one’s feelings.

S - stay connected with

L - long lasting 

A - attachments and 

M - memories. 

For the first time I opened my slam book after I passed my school and every page makes me nostalgic. 

I remember all those sweet and happy moments that I spent with each and everyone of them.

Reading all the silly answers to questions there and I was smiling like an idiot.

Recalling all the nicknames, compliments, best day at school and what not!

Another advantage of re-reading the slam book was that I recalled some really beautiful songs I had forgotten about.

A big hug to all those who have a good taste at music.

To the question "What do you think about more than anything else?", someone wrote - "Myself , I believe only in self love". I remember I laughed at this answer that day but silly me!

And now I realize that loving yourself the most is the secret to a happy life.

To the question " If given wings, you would fly to?" 80% of the answers were "Paris" and "Switzerland" and now I am proud to have such hopelessly romantic friends.

And to all those who've written that their favorite food item is "Golgappe":

Can we please go on a golgappe date!?? Plan it soon!!

To the one who wrote- " Start eating all the capsicums, bell peppers and tomatoes with the paneer in paneer chili" , I have started eating them and realized that paneer is so overrated there! Isn't it?

And to the one who asked me to learn how to eat a burger, I apologize because I still cant.

To the question " Your most vibrant wish " ; there is an answer "I wish if we were best friends again!" Now, this hurts when you realize that you are so coward to restore some relations you always cherished.

Also, to the same question there is another answer " I wish that you always stay happy ". So let me tell you sweetheart, your wish is really coming true. 

And and and the best part was reading the golden words, since it has been a while I've received so many compliments in a row. Uff!!

It was so overwhelming to read all that :)

Can't believe how things have changed!

Having a long list of friends with whom you share everything to keeping your problems to yourself,

Being scared of darkness to finding peace there, 

Crying on every small thing to handling situations so strongly. Nothing feels better than seeing your friends grow so strong.

If nobody said you, let me tell you then:

I am so proud of you and hats off for going through all the stuff by yourself.

I am not Zayn but,

" I'll hold you when things go wrong

I'll be with you from dusk till dawn! "

So a note for future-

Dear grandkid,

Don't miss the joy of writing a slam book!
