20 things somebody should have told me before I turned 20!

1.      Engineering and medicine are not the only professions in the world.
2.      Read books! Books can take you to a different world; it can also make you aware of the world around you in a way you never thought of.
3.      Facebook/Orkut /social networking sites are eventually gonna bore you.
4.      The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit that you hear and agree to when you know you can totally achieve it.
5.      Don’t use shortcuts like k, f9, buhbye! You will end up irritating your colleagues at work if you continue this.
6.      You don’t really need to have a boyfriend/girlfriend because others have one. Be patient, you’ll someday find a perfect match ;)
7.      Be wise while choosing friends, be sure you are not seeing the tip of the iceberg.
8.      Success is different for different people. Try to find out your own definition. When you do, celebrate it!
9.      Marks are important, but they are not a sole measure of your credibility.
10.  That no matter how fast you run. The race is with yourself!
11.  Experience is as important as education.
12.  College is not the end of your education.
13.  Never put your hand under an unfamiliar desk because you might touch someone else’s old chewing gum.
14.  Brands are just tags with funky names on it.
15.  Burning the midnight oil is not to be taken too literally before the exams.
16.  Be nice to yourself. Maybe you don’t realize but you are way better than you think.
17.  Give up worrying about what others think of you.
18.  Memorable journey is not necessarily the perfect journey you planned.
19.  Listen to all genres of music. They will be with you at the times of sorrow or joy.
20.  Enjoy the present. No matter what this time here will never come back.

Dream a little dream!

“Why does everything have to be in a particular way? Why can’t we do the things in our own way?  Why can’t we take some random decisions just because it will take us to our land of dreams? Land that does not match this one.  A land that does not judge your actions. A land that just feels right to be in.
Why do we have to follow a paradigm?”

Same questions haunt us in smallest as well as biggest things in our lives. Starting from why to do an internship in summer holidays to why to get married to some unknown guy! What if all these people who stood against the social paradigms would have backed out?

Agreed that there are some customs that we need to follow, there are some etiquette's and rules to be followed being a social animal, but when things become superstitions, it starts getting worse. Doing anything without knowing the reason and cause behind it makes us wonder!

My granny used to tell me a lot of stories. The story about the fish that died when was taken out of water.  A story of a artist who emerged from a poor family. One of the story was of a of girl in a village who always wanted to get educated and educate others. People around her told her that its not possible and she should not waste her time in doing things that will go in vain. But she didn’t lose hope and did what she wanted not thinking about what world thinks about it. And she not only changed herself but changed others by her power. She did not give up because someone said its not right kinda dream for her.

People have small beautiful dreams. Everybody is unique in their own way and so are their dreams and so is their way towards it! Why can’t we follow our heart, learn, earn and also make these small, big beautiful dreams come true!

Right wrong are very dicey words! They are most of the times relative!

We should decide for ourselves and if we truly believe than never back down just because some jack who is not sure of what he is doing in his life tells you that you are on the wrong path!
If u think things are not going according to your plan be patient, remember this too shall pass meanwhile dream! 

Let your inner light shine!

This world always wants us to follow its 'rut'.
If we don't and we choose to do something different we are questioned by every Jack we know.
Makes me wonder!!!

Since the old barter system vanished. Exchange of goods with money has increased its value.

A lot can happen over a coffee!

Coffee!

Wikipedia defines coffee as “brewed beverage with a dark, acidic flavor prepared from the roasted seeds of the coffee plant”. But well.. As we all know, it’s not just about acidic extract of berries of shrub of the genus Coffea cultivated in southwestern highlands of Ethiopia Its about the foamy cappuccino or milky latte or hardcore espresso! And above that it’s about numerous things that start or end with a cup of coffee!

Coffee is such a multifaceted thing.
It refreshes your mood! It tastes so good! We drink it as we get up every day and at the same time we have a sip at late night during our exams!

When we are at the coffee shop we see several people streaming in the coffee shop..Friends go there to hang out, some to solve disputes, some come to talk about their future ventures, some to talk about their future life together, some to propose their love (louu), some to break hearts, some to study, some to just meet after long time!

So much for the coffee house being a creative place that coffee shops are regarded as the place when most of the ideas strike in your mind! Creativity is at its best when we have coffee churning inside our stomachs... As soon as coffee is in your stomach, there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move.. Coffee is your ally and writing ceases to be a struggle. 


The bubbly and fresh environment created at Coffee Shops nevertheless serves as the crowd-puller but at the same time the luxury and comfort they provide makes it the ‘addaa’ for hanging out! No doubt the count of coffee shops is increasing day by day with CCD, Startbucks Coffee, Robusta, cannabis coffee shop, Lj coffee house, Biggby Coffee house and many more!
Apart from that peculiar places like India Coffee house has its own history and memories of generations attached to it. While tapree ki coffe is the ‘khasiyat’ of the area near to people’s offices! 

Funny thing that both of us decided to start this blog at the coffee shop with cups of coffee in hand and a laptop on the table ..and all the chitter chatter in the world!

We have many things in our lives happened over coffee!

 So whats your story eh?

PROLOGUE

Words, if used properly at right time, right amount of stress on them could make a lot of difference.
Words are powerful.
Words can bring us together. Words can put up a fight between people.
Words can make you weep,they can tickle you.
Words  make the song! Words can create revolution. Things when put in terms of words can create a history!
Words can make a thing simpler than how we had thought of it, at the same time its complexity can entangle you in your thoughts!
It can be short but deep, and even long but shallow!
Its all about how you play with the words.
Hence the name –‘WORDPLAY’.  

This blog is medium of a discussion where we will get to know different views or opinions on a certain subject.

Hope writing helps us broaden our views, exchange them and give us better understanding and we get something out of it. More than anything, a different kind of experience!
