This ThanksGiving.... this blog is dedicated for the ones i LOVE ,
Life is never a bed of roses…
Life is never a fair game….
Life is never a cake walk…..
For everyone Life is never the same…..
But we are all a part of it…
I just realised that life is as beautiful as you want it to be….
You can see its true colours only when you accept it as it is…..
Stop nagging, come out of the phase of denial…
And learn a new tune….
I don’t know if I am the best daughter….but thanks for letting me feel the love of family….
I don’t know if I am the best sister….but thanks for letting me have a buddy always by my side….
I don’t know if I am a best frn to anyone….but thanks to all of you for letting me know what friendship is….
I don’t know if I will ever be your soulmate….but thanks for letting me fall in love with you…..always remember you hav kissed the soul of a lady so passionately that she will remember it forever ever....

Love Aaj Kal !!!
Today morning i happened to read an article
" http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=VE9JSC8yMDA5LzExLzI3I0FyMDI2MDE=&Mode=HTML&Locale=english-skin-custom " ...
and it says boys are faster than gals in saying the L word, this is what gals prefer coming it from a boy and this is what their elders always teach them as a part of culture and tradition.....
it also gives some stats that boys take 7 months to say it and gals take 8 months ..... that makes boys faster in the race of love.....
but lets say a gal has completed her quota of 8 months and the guy she likes has not yet reciprocated..... will it be wrong in this situation if the gal takes the lead and proposes the boy.....
will this love story bloom....
logically it should.... but generally we hav seen it doesnot..... if gals become a lil too frank in matter of love and like.....
y is it so that we dont approve of gals proposing ?
(if you say you do, then ask the same question again after 5 minutes and you will realise you dont ^_^ , thats the irony of life , we act differently than what we say)
there are many instances in our mythology and history where we read of "Swayamvar" ....
it was an oppurtunity given to gal to search herself a worthy husband....
be it "Ram" proving his might with the "Shiv Dhanusha" or "Arjun" with his "Gandiv" ..we hav heard of many instances like this one where "Subhadra" (sister of krishna) decides to flee away with "Arjuna".....
if that could happen in the era of bows and arrows and if a women's feelings were respected then...
y not now when its the era of Rocket science and when gals fly planes.....
Why do we dont approve of gals stating the "L" letter word first then her male counterpart....
The boy has also proved his might not by "brekaing a shiv dhanusha" but by proving himself to be loving , caring, matured, sensible and financially stable person (believe me these are the tests to pass in the modern world)......
I think... the boy should feel proud that he is worhty enough to Woo a lady... and has proved himself to be a worhy husband ...

Love and Other Disasters !!!
Yesterday I happened to stumble across a movie CD and decided to watch it…… for its name said “Love and Other Disasters” , what a wonderful name…….. and it was worth a watch….. for everyone who think of “True Love”…
It’s the story of a Gal ‘Emily’ who is too practical to fall in love and too immature to still think her knight in the shining armour will come soon to sweep her away with the first real kiss of love…….
In the whole process she meets a young man Paolo(colleague) and makes friends instantly , but the poor chap falls in love immediately and everytime they meet his love for her intensifies……..
Finally one day he proposes in a one of the most weird cirumstances (you need to watch it to know how weird the cirumstance was) ……
Later Emily decides somethinng :
“ Emily : I'm not so sure. Love isn't always a lightning bolt, you know? Maybe sometimes it's just a choice. That's just it. I don't know that Paolo's the love of my life, but I've decided to give him the chance to be. Maybe true love is a decision. You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody. To give to somebody. Without worrying wether they'll give anything back. Or if they're gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn't something that happens to you. Maybe it's something you have to choose. “
How many of us actually decide to give someone a chance….
In India it’s a lil common I will say when parents find us a match and we decide to give them 6 months to fall in love and then 6 months to decide if it’s the True Love which we were looking for all this while in our life….
But my question is do we give a chance bcoz we really want to ? or
bcoz we have no say in front of our parents decision ?
Now if you say its not the same as I am thinking then why we never gave someone a chance who already loves us…. Not 6 months but not even 6 days or 6 hrs…..
Why we just say “I am sorry but you are not the one I think about the same way”
Was it the fault of the person who loves you is that they became your friend first rather than becoming the favorite of your parents……
Is this the only fault for not getting a chance……
If I ask the question… how many of us ever got a chance and how many of us ever gave a chance…..
I would say count is still “0” both sides………
Lets see if someone does a debut......

Memories and Lonliness - 2 !!!
after my last blog i got several feedbacks from readers
and one of which was "even if u r alone u cant call it lonliness till your thoughts and emotions accompany you"...
i would say "good say".. and "its true"....
through my thoughts and emotions i interact with myself...
i try to understand myself better...
i can plan for things ...
and i can say words out loud which i may hesitate to share with anyone else....
also i can call up someone family or friends whom i wish to talk...
but ,in my opinion,
sometimes we need someone beside us not just emotionally but physically too...
sometimes its boring to listen to the sound of ur breath only....and it feels good to hear someone else's breathing in the silence....
sometimes it feels more comfortable to have a shoulder to lean to than to have a devoted ear far away....
sometimes it just feels good to have a finger to hold on to rather than a object as a piece of memory to cling on...
sometimes you want to voice ur feeling and emotions and you dont want to pen it down or text it but you want to hear the very sound of if while you say it looking in someone's eyes....

Memories and Lonliness !!!
have you ever had the feeling of lonliness while in a crowd....
you must have..... everyone now or then, less often or more often definitely feels this.....
standing on the road and looking at the busy traffic where everyone is headed for a destination....but you feel lost...you are confused if you need to walk on this side of the road or take the other side.....
a bunch of people sitting on the lawn chatting their life away....and you long for atleast one company in the coffee house full of all strange faces....
a family in the multiplex buying popcorns and pepsi and getting ready for their show...and you holding a full plate of samosa , coke and what not long for your family and the masala dosa treats you used to have with them....
a newly wed couple returning from office decide to take grocery home and are interested in taking care of their better half's needs first...and you in the supermart now realise that you have not made a dinner/lunch of your spouse's choice its always the easy to make meals you care about....and you become teary eyed thinking of your first year after marriage...and you look for some loneliness in the jammed store...
what makes life so lonely so measeable sometimes....is it lonely because we stay in the memories and forget to live in the present ....or is it because our present is so lonely that we love to cling to our pasts.....

The Half Truth !!!
I have a philosophy in life...
when you dont want to play politics and when you dont want to lie either... the best option is to say the HALF TRUTH...
i believe life is all about the half truth and we should learn to live with that....
sometimes too much knowledge also becomes harmful so why not enjoy with a little less.....
its not like hiding away from the truth but its like not chasing the rest of the truth....
many of you might not fully agree with me but its not like having a debate its just trying to look from different perspectives.....

A PRAYER !!!
दुआ करो ...
की मैं भटक ना जाऊँ कहीं अकेले किसी घने जंगल में
और ना ही रह जाऊँ कहीं अकेले किसी रेतीले कंटीले मरुस्थल में
ना ही खो जाऊँ किसी वादियों में तनहा
और ना रह जाऊँ मैं अकेले कटे से किन्ही द्वीपों की तरह
दुआ करो ...
की दूर रहे वो गरम लू की थपेडे, जो पिघला कर पानी ना कर दें मेरे संजोय हुए हसीं लम्हे
की झेल लूँ मैं हर एक मौसम को सख्त शिखरों की तरह
की मैं हो जाऊँ किनारों की तरह, जो सह ले हर लहरों को अपनों की तरह
वादा करो ...
की साथ निभाए चलोगे मेरा, परछाइयों और बिजलियों की परे
की मुश्किलों में साथ रहोगे मेरे अडिग इन् चट्टानों की तरह
की मेरी हर खुशी में झूम उठोगे फूलों और बाहारों की तरह
की हर मौसम में साथ दोगे कभी उजली धुप कभी इन्द्र-धनुष की तरह
दुआ करो ...
की बहती रहे मेरे जीवन में यह बसंती पवन
की मैं हमेशा आबाद रहूँ ख़ूबसूरत वादियों की तरह
it needs our love , care , protection and prayers with joined hands that it lives long to tell the stories of every friendshp it has ever seen in its lifetime to the generations to come....
wish our friendship a long life...

Message for my Friends !!!
Friendship means sharing the same road whereever it leads.... but every road is rough for me if there is no friend to cheer..
so this is for all my friends.....with whom i have shared a part of my life.....
"When these beautiful days will be gone...
When i will long to see all what i own...
i will lean on my chair in my gardern..
and will look up to the heaven...
to thank God for all his gifts...
that he has given me in my life in some shifts...
i will look into the pages of my life...
my life in your words, in your summaries...
to cheer me up in a lonely day...
to take my fears away...
what i will surely say ...is ...
i need your help...
to take forward my frozen step...
so please... write me your heart within...
to be kept with me for all my autumn and springs...."

Nostalgic !!!
Some days are just so similar to any other day of the week yet they feel so different...
The chill in the air feels new, but the fragnance in it makes you remember somebody...
The morning dews they sparkle the same way, but the shine reminds you of someone's eyes...
The grass is wet as always, but it makes you remember someone's touch on your skin...
The trees they dance the same way, but it reminds you of someone's lively attitude...
The breeze blows through your hair the same way still fills you in a spine chilling tremble as if he is by your side whispering your name slowly in your ears...
a longing and a sense of belonging....
