STRAWBERRY!

There's nothing that beats your first. First day at a new school, first bicycle, first crush, first time you rode your bike, first movie you watched with friends, first night-out, the first novel you read, first (and only time in my case) you scored a 100 in math, first trip on your own with friends, the first time you met that special someone, first love, first heartbreak.. Well, you get the drift! Doesn't really matter if its all that important or not, there's NOTHIN like the first and nothin ever beats it! Take it from me, i remember each and every one of these FIRSTS! And here is another first! I've finally joined the blogging bandwagon! After days of convincing myself that it is not for me, after warding off a lotta persuasion from my very persistent friends, here I am! In spite of knowing all to well that putting down my thoughts on paper is the worst thing I can do, I've gone ahead and decided to do just that! A blogger at last! Not tryin to make it dramatic people! It is the truth! Linda Goodman in her book says that Geminians are hesitant bout putting things down in writing coz what they believe in today, changes tomorrow! Being pinned down to an opinion and being held responsible for what they felt on a given day is not somethin they enjoy. I know only too well how true that is. Any typical gemini person would tell you so! BTW, here's some free ka advice! Buy yourselves a copy of madame Goodman's Zodiac Signs and save it forever! She gives you a heads up on what you can expect from each zodiac and I've SEEN how true it all is! I've forgiven so many mistakes, held on to friendships, and dealt with a lotta crap from people just coz I know its not their fault; its their zodiac. Yeap, am referring to each and one of you readin this! ;) Its all thanks to Goodman that I'm still friends with you! Jokes apart, read the book! You'l understand yourself better, find a lotta answers and have an advantage over others even before you get to know them! N damn.. there goes a trade secret! See!! Now this is why people like moi shouldn't be blogging!! Coz we dono where to draw the line! I let that slip out and am too lazy to delete maaro this whole thing!!! And just in case you're wondering why this blog is called what it is called, it is bcoz what it is called inspired this blog! Rite then... here's the reason! Today --drumrolls-- was the first time ever --louder drumrolls-- that I ate a --ears shattered-- STRAWBERRY! Yeah, the fruit! In its real avatar! Having been a die hard fan of the flavour for 23 years, to think that today was the first time I ever ate the fruit is slightly intriguing! Given that my staple diet includes a milkshake or icecream once every couple of days, and the fact that am not much of an experimenter when it comes to flavours, I end up having a pink yummy icream/ mshake at least once a week. That would add up to a big number for sure, you do the math! So, a gazillion icreams/ mshakes past, I finally get down to eating the fruit. And it was nothing like what I had expected! For one, it wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be! It had a nice, juicy, slightly crunchy, very slightly sour taste! All this I did not expect, but loved it nonetheless! So, you live under this impression of knowing, believing in somethin all your life and one day, reality strikes! I guess what am tryin to say here is: things change, people change, feelings change, perceptions change and sometimes you gotta let go of your most strongly held convictions, sometimes you gotta say goodbye and move on! Hard as it may be, it aint such a bad thing! Coz there's always somethin better waiting just around the corner! Coz guess what? The second strawberry I had was so much better than the first one! The first was special, it definitely was! But that does not mean I can't like the second one better! :) Beep beeep!! --RAMBLING ALERT-- So, this is it for now! Until I find more resons to write, Here's to yummier strawberries! To giving life second chances! And to better tomorrows!! :)
