A Birthday Note

Every year on this day I was more excited than you were, Its your Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes its my best friends birthday. On this day you were born and I was blessed. I can't even express properly to let you know how lucky I feel to have you in my life. I still remember that fateful accidental day when our path got crossed. And since then we've come a long way. We've faced a lot of tough situation and made a lot of tough decisions too but we always made it through. I know you would say that everything is just in my mind, but trust me you've always been there for me. You're my Pillar of Strength and Support. The one who's always kept me going.

I know we've had a lots of ups and downs. Even if we have been far away our friendship remained strong. I know now a days we've literally stopped talking. And I miss you more than I miss anyone in this whole world. I wish we could stop being busy and start afresh like we were in old days. I want to tell you so many things, share so many experiences, show you all my photos. I know I said so many things in the past I shouldn't have said. I cannot take them back but I would really like to start fresh.

But yes, its your day. So I wish you a many many happy returns of the day. And I really hope to see you fulfill all your dream and see you become an Actuarie. And always see your smiling and laughing face. If ever life takes away your part of happiness, I would gladly give you my share. And I know one thing for sure that someday my best friend will be on the top of this world and I will still be there watching your back. Lots of Love and Happiness to YOU :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

The Missing Parts.....

People say, "Necessity is the Mother of Invention". But looking at the present scenario it should be framed like this,"Greed is the Mother of Invention". As the world moves ahead people's boundary of satisfaction moves along with it. Man is never satisfied with what it already has, and craves for more and more. In midst of so much greed he forgets to praise and be grateful to what he already possess. 

I guess we, the men have created a race for ourselves. If we don't run we'll not be able to catch up. And each one of us is so busy running for ourselves that we forget to give a helping hand to one who has fallen behind. Man has forgotten the real joy of life. The joy of giving, the pleasure in helping each other, his kindness. As the man move ahead in life he's becoming more self-centered. He wants to earn money so that his latter days are satisfactory. But I ask why not today? Once a friend told me that a man earns money for food but in the race of earning money he has no time for eating food. 

Life has so much more than earning and being busy. Its taking some time off your busy day fooling around and being lazy. Seeing your friends, hang out together and have fun. Help someone in need and put a smile on his face, giving yourself to feel kind and feel convinced. Smiling for no reason while looking at the picture of the one you love and thinking what more does he need in life. The life has to so much to give but the man has less time to take it. The man has become stray wandering off the path which he initially wanted to walk. 

What I actually feel is, "Satisfaction and Happiness in life doesn't come when you achieve big, its when you add up all small ones to make a big one...."

Roses And Thorns

Life, from the start, I mean literally from the start, in his mother's womb to his first glance of the world to his first walk till the other end is beautiful for the parents and then for the newborn himself. But as life goes forward many other lives cross each others paths may be as a help or as a problem. Maybe from their environment, their work, their love, even friends who once came as a help, problem can come anytime from any place. And what I believe is when you overcome your problems and be happy that is LIFE.

From the first walk of life in his childhood stage, he might not understand a thing and even the things he does or what he talks might not make sense but when a smile comes on his innocent face then it's worth is more than millions. Then when he grows up, he goes out in the world for the first time he makes new friends. He plays with them not caring about the whole world and does pranks on other not realizing what he is actually doing is because he is still innocent. 

And as he grows he blooms and becomes a young adolescent kid. He comes to little understanding of the real world. He comes across many problems, its a hard time for him. He has hard time dealing with those problems as its the first time he's facing them. But then later it makes him stronger. And he grows into a man, he works hard enough and burns under the pressure of expectations and achieving his preset goals. He works for his living. 

And then he falls in love. His life has a new meaning and new purpose. After that he becomes dual entity and gives birth to a new life. He teaches the new life what he has learned in his own. And as he walks ahead becoming older and weaker on the final stage of his act of life, one day his life withers away............

LIFE IS LIKE A ROSE, IT HAS THORNS IN IT BUT STILL IT IS BEAUTIFUL.

Past and the Present

She was sitting in the empty room having her dinner silently in the lonely house of hers. There was a void in her heart, the feeling of nothingness is all she possessed. Tiny droplets of water flowing through her eyes all the way down to her cheeks and empty plates and chairs haunted her. The furnitures were all dusty and rooms a total mess. She remembered the scene when she was passing by the park that made her envious of the kids who were playing in the park with their parents.

She envied them like anything because she never felt the joy herself. She never knew what it felt like to have parents. Parents who showered care and love for their children, protected them with everything they have got and even played with them in the park. She never knew what it was like to have a family and was all by herself right from the start. She was lonely. She wanted to have family dinner and wanted to laugh with them and also to restrict her from doing bad. She was all alone.

But then thinking about what she never had, seemed pointless. As she never had it, so imagining all those would give more pain then she already had. Thinking about all the lonely moments of her past just made her present miserable, so she decided not to think about it. And sometimes people just need to let go. Even when the life was so harsh on her she learned to deal things on her own. She was strong, self made and independent and was proud of that fact.  

Do not Sulk on Things You Never Had Because Thinking About Them Would Only Give You Pain and Misery........

The Acceptance

When I was a little kid I saw other kids excelling in the fields they chose to work on. Soon I realized I was doing nothing. There was no motivation in my life instead I was being pressed only to study(which of course I didn't follow). In fact I had no talents in those days but initially I started participating in cultural activities. I always volunteered for some or the other thing but most of the times DRAMA, because it used to intrigue me. I loved to do drama on stage, maybe because I liked to do it or maybe because of people, I had wished that people around me should love and praise me or also maybe for recognition or maybe for making people realizing my worth. 

This is one of stage plays I was part of.

I had a very hard time during my childhood, as I was not one of those bright students that teachers used to praise. So I decided to stick to cultural acts, but I was always a part of background not the main highlight. I remember I was scared and nervous so I always screwed up. But that wasn't bringing me down. I remember I once tried doing dance on stage also. Traditional Rajasthani dance which went awesome as far as I remember. I was brimming up with confidence.

Traditional Rajasthani Dance

But later it was all the same becoming the background in those acts. It was all about the talent and I knew I possessed none. Till a very long period I was part of house function or the annual functions in my school. But the fact I was untalented lead me to despair and there was a feeling of hopelessness in me. Not only I screwed up in studies but also in my so called cultural acts. I left taking part, I had quit. And even in real life I had become the background. The only reason I started all this was lost. And my school life ended without accomplishing anything.

Having no talents was a major drawback in my life, gave me a real tough time dealing the situations. But having quit gave me no happiness either. Somewhere I knew I have to accept whatever I had and move on. You know sometimes when you want something and you don't get it and the time has gone to achieve it, you just go to accept it and move on. At that time you couldn't do a thing but life isn't over to make accomplishments. Now I know even I possess no talent I need to build one, instead of doing nothing and mourning about it. Everyone has dreams and even if your dreams doesn't comes true, never give up because someday the dream will come finding you. And hopefully someday I become a good writer as well.

Accept Your Shortcoming and Mistakes. Never Give Up Even If There Is No Way. If You Give Up There Will Be No Way.

A Lost Inspiration

One of my regular reader requested me to start my blog again, so I promised her that I would write again. I've been away for quite a long time. So today when I decided to write, I was left blank. I just kept on thinking for hours on a subject to write upon but all went in vain. I felt like I was missing a piece, an inspiration to go on. I don't know how the fire within me had been set off. I had lost the inspiration to write. Maybe because I was away for a very long time or maybe I didn't find any topic to ignite my mind.

Earlier when I used to write, I felt like my finger's had a brain of their own. Like it came to naturally, words after words, sentences after sentences. I never had to think too much about the topic. But now a days, this world is off, it is too dark for me too see, the path is not clear, a piece of puzzle is missing. It makes me sad. But as all these thoughts clouded my mind, I thought to walk back and read all the other previous posts I had written.

As I was walking back track, I just wondered and even doubted that did I really write all this? But yes there was smile on my face and a belief that I have what it takes to be a writer. Maybe I had given up on this dream of mine. But now as I write this post I promise to myself that I would never ever give up on this sole talent of mine. And also would work upon sharpening my skills. And in the end I would like to thank my friend Rachael to remind me what I was and what I wanted to be and I promise it you that you'll get more regular posts

WRITING IS A GIFT TO ME, MY SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE. THANK YOU FOR REMIND ME THAT.............

My Story Of My Mumbai

Initially I thought about writing this post on Mumbai, then it hit me that what would I write about Mumbai that has never been written about. So I decided to write about my version of mumbai. From the sip of cutting chai to a bite of vada pav to the hustling local to the never ending crowd to the refreshing and mesmerizing marine drive. Everything about this city is so amazing. Its like you come in this city like a stranger and in no time it make you its own. 

It was just a mere co-incidence that I crashed in this city. But I say it was a miracle. I was pretty immature when I came here not sure of what I really was? I was lost, confused, aimless. But this city gave me what exactly I needed, LIFE. This place is the biggest inspiration in itself. I've met different kinds of people here some very good, some bad, some crazy, some difficult to understand, some optimistic, some care free. 

This city gave me the most special gift or say an opportunity to meet the most amazing person I've in my life, My Best Friend. I really think this is silly but frankly speaking I couldn't care less about it. I met her on a social networking site without a hint that we would be the best friends and rest my friends is history. And I know this city still holds many surprises for me and more opportunities to excel. There is a lot to unfold and I am eagerly waiting for those fresh wind to pass through. 
AND IN THE END I WANT TO SUM UP WITH THREE WORDS,"MUMBAI MERI JAAN" 

An Uncertain Union

As he was lying besides his lovely wife, smiling and gazing at her angelic face, he recalled how they both first met and how they both fell in love. It was different he thought, different than any other love stories he had seen or heard before. He felt proud and was being thankful to his fate. He again gazed at her affectionately with his love filled eyes, he kissed her cheeks and started recalling that fateful day.

He had to rush back to his home. So he went on board the train and started looking for the TTE. He approached TTE and told him about the uncertain visit to his home and its urgency. The TTE was a good man and understood his dilemma. He made his ticket on board and gave him a seat in First AC. As he opened the door to his cabin, he saw a beautiful angel like girl sitting over there, his heart beats started pounding fast. And then when he saw her grandma sitting over there, the scary old lady, his heart beats became normal.

As they were traveling he tried to steal a glance of her and got Caught 2-3 time and was welcomed with her smile. The train stopped as it arrived a station. He got down to buy a bottle of water and he saw her standing her besides him. He finally said, "HI" to her and she greeted him back with a HI. He then inquired if she needed anything. She pointed toward the chips packet. He bought it for her. Then they boarded back to their cabin where he saw the old scary lady getting down the train. He had a confused look on his face and said to her, "I thought she was her grandmom". She then said "no, she is not my grandma" and started laughing at him. But he thanked to god. 

They were having a very good time chatting with each other. He was cracking jokes and she was laughing. She was tell him about her and all her stories and he was keenly listening. It was night time when he was sleeping when suddenly he heard someone calling for help. It was her, she had fits. He was worried as he didn't knew how to stop it and also he wasn't carrying any metal to keep it in her hand to stop fits. He immediately rushed here and there crying for help. He found some keys and immediately put it in her hands, it slowed down but it didn't stop. He called TTE for help, as TTE rushed to the cabin, he inquired about any doctor being available. Luckily there was a doctor traveling in the next bogey. The doctor was immediately called and as she was looking at the girl. She stated that only a certain medicine would stop the attack. She prescribed the medicine.

With the help of TTE he managed to get train halt for sometime. He immediately ran in the city, got the medicine and came rushing back to her. They gave her the medicine and the attack stopped in sometime. The doctor congratulated him and said, "your wife is alright now" and he just smiled back at the doctor. She came back to her sense, looked at him with teary eyes and couldn't  thank him enough for all he did for her. They were looking at each other and smiling when suddenly she asked that "why didn't he tell doctor that she wasn't his wife". He was taken aback by her question and had no answer. But on her insisting he confessed that he was in LOVE with her. She was stunned by his answer but recalled what just happened and how caring he was. And she simply smiled at him and replied, "I LOVE YOU TOO"

AND THEN HAPPENED A UNCERTAIN UNION AND BEGGINING OF HIS LOVE STORY. LIKE THEY SAY LOVE CAN HAPPEN TO YOU AT ANY PLACE OR ANY TIME AND YOU JUST CAN'T RESIST IT. :)
