New :)

Helloz..

The holiday season is on! Hope my readers have got smiles on their face while reading this post. If unfortunately, you don't have.. please bring it for my sake, coz I have mentioned it :) :) Great! Thank you! :) Spread smiles ahead with your smile! I read somewhere.. 'You should keep smiling, no one knows when someone is falling in love with your smile'. Rest is your decision. ;)

With this year ending, I am kind of planning to think afresh, start afresh and welcoming the new year with novelty. Many people would be thinking to do the same. A great step I must stay. We ought to leave the haunting past and our mistakes behind to move ahead. I might have done thousands of blunders till now, I am glad to say, I was forgiven always. Thankfully! But why people like me are still thinking over them?? It is high time, to see the beautiful present and relish it, and to await the future. We generally crib about the things we do not have with us, rather than being happy for what we have with us. It is said 'Count your blessings'. Try and spend few minutes on counting your blessings. I am sure, you will forget about the 'missing' things.

We are on this earth with some responsibilties. In running here and there for fulfilling them, we forget to live life our own ways. Slowly and slowly, we even forget what our 'way of living' is. We substitute the life with work and responsibilties. Let us try to do stupid things off and on. A simple way to smile. :)

I was just wondering why do we wait for "new year" for taking these pledges. As each moment is New, we can do that in every 'new moment'. I wish we all do something which makes us and others smile daily. May we all be blessed with all the happiness!

God bless..! Take Care! Keep Smiling! Welcome the new year with new hopes! :) :) Ciao..

Relationship!! Saturation..!

Hello J

I am just loving this chilling weather!! It feels so thrilling when you cannot see anything beyond few meters. All you can see and sense is fog, some icy crystals around you. Something cold touching you and filling in your breath. Just wow!! J .. but not so good part is.. people like me have to go to office in this beautiful weather early in the mornings, while others are cuddling in their warm quilts. Let me try to find out something positive here too… yes, I get to feel the lovely cold, when others cant. J I believe I wrote something more and serious about winters in one of my previous posts too. Yes, winters are close to my heart. I simply love them and I can write on them a lot! But would not do it right now. You can have a sigh of relief. It is not as boring as it seems  to you now. ;)

I read somewhere once you start with writing a blog, you are very active and you write pretty often and later on your pace slows down. I am finding it true may be. Yeah.. the craze of writing and wanting to express is high when you start. As soon as the time moves on, the passion reduces, may be ability to spend the same time in writing is no more possible. Isn’t it the same with everything?? Whenever we start with something new.. we are too excited for that, when time passes on, we tend to get slow. May be our interest reduces. Normal human tendency! May it be.. studying something new, a new job, a new TV series, a new friend, or may be a new relationship or may it be anything!

I would love to write on relationships.. one of my favorite topics to talk on! When it is new, you have lots to talk about. You can speak for hours, you can listen for hours, or maybe you can just be quiet for hours and you love even that. Everything is so quick in the beginning, and then, it just slows down. Things don’t move. You might feel saturated. You feel this is it! Heights! And you even do not realize when it became actually ‘it’! I have seen people getting bored..  and I am glad to say I have seen people actually made for each other. I must say, I truly admire them. I wish them all the good wishes. But for those who get ‘bored’, trust me guys, it is not always true that the other person is boring!! You need to look at yourself in the mirror and realize where you went wrong. It takes two hands to clap. Isn’t it? Think and react. You alone can’t make a relationship work, and you alone are not responsible for making it so called ‘boring’. If two people walk together on the same road with different pace, they are not going along together. For going with each other, your pace has to be same. 

Good Luck!! J

Keep Smiling! J Ciao!

No... Please No!!

I so want to speak out! The most hated thing in the world is.. being misunderstood!! And when this happens with the your loved ones, it is so intolerable. I am writing this in the midst of my emotions, in the midst of my 'debates' with someone really close to me. 


This life is so short to love, how do we find time to fight? or hate? I don't know, but all of us do. We tend to have arguments only with those, who really are important in our life. Yes, I just said, we have arguments with people important to us. It simply happens coz.. we want those 'important people' never to take us wrong. We want them to know that they are important and they are in our mind all the times. We never forget to expect from them, but then we may forget to see their expectations, leading to all the negativity! I wish I could just be blessed with those eyes to identify the things expected out of me.. whether it is 'a bit' or 'a lot'. I really am myself all the times. My priorities do not change over night. I wish .. I can just wish to be understood the right way. I am not a pushover, I use my brains, cant help!! 


I just can't afford to lose, may be, I am not worth losing too, depends actually!!


I did not want to spread negativity. I just want,those of you, who have taken out your precious time to read this, to understand.. you just cant let everyone go. Expectations are bad, but we expect from those who deserve that. And when you are expecting, do not forget to understand that there are some expectations from you too. You cant always see your side of the coin only, opening you eyes and mind for the other side is equally important. So, never let everything go! Some things deserve to be held for long...... 

Wo Lamhe..

Hello Everyone! Happy December J

I was just thinking .. how my each and every moment reminds of some things and some people. Our little head carries plethora of memories.. may be good, bad or neutral. But all these huge memories become a part of you. Some of them.. we want to re-happen, some we just recall, some we can’t forget.. and some we do not want to forget ever. A complete mix.. I have many such memories with my family, with my friends and with some really important people in my life.

I just want to share a weird memory.. I don’t  know why it comes in my mind suddenly. It is not something great but then still I am trying and writing it down. I remember, when I was in class 6 or may be 7, I used to hate Hindi as a subject. And to add to it, we had a really strict teacher. Trust me; I have her face right in front of my eyes while writing. Me along with my classmates used to be petrified to attend her classes. One thing more, there was a rule of rotation in my class.. as in, you need to keep on rotating your seats. If you are sitting on the first bench today, you need to sit on the second bench tomorrow and so on. Then came a day, when I was sitting on the first bench confronting HER. I had got a ‘stylo’ hair cut just a day before, which had hair falling on my forehead. Then, she started staring and staring and staring and staring some more. When, this timid Nancy tried to look in her eyes. She suddenly spoke.. “Can’t you pin your hair??” That is all in my mind.. it still comes in front of my eyes as it is happening live. I do not know the reasons, really! Please readers, do some analysis and tell me why I recall it, when it is not at all important to me now?? There are some incidents which just reside in your heart and mind.

There are some really beautiful moments with me.. one of them which I never expressed is shared in next few lines. Around 8-9 years ago, it was my brother’s birthday celebration at my home. My whole big family was together. Me and my family were spending great time. I started crying suddenly. They were tears of joy. And they were presumed as a kid crying coz it’s not her birthday. I could not explain how happy I was. I couldn’t explain the actual reason for those tears. Yes, this memory is still in my eyes.

There are ‘n’ number of memories which I really want to put down here.. Really, really close to my heart.. May be I would not justify them properly with words. Will end here.

Take Care!! Happy Weekend! J Keep Smiling J Ciao J

P.S.- If you do not find me sensible in writing these days, please ignore! 

Friends.. Family

Hi..

When I say ‘Friends’.. I recall very few names in my heart.. my closest buddies.. Those people who know you to the core and still love you, and they are always there. One of my friends, a new friend actually, wanted me to write on this. But then, there is endless to write on friends. And still I am so unable to find the apt words. For people like me, who are staying so away from home, these friends become family. So, this post is really really so close to my heart.

That Airtel song.. ‘Kyunki Har ek friend zaroori hota hai’, it is so true. Each friend is an important part of life. There are many kinds of friends. Many are there only when they need you, and few are there at all the times. I am so proud to say all my friends are of the second category. On the top of them is my best buddy.. he is just there at all the times. A true friend!! And I confess, I do not reciprocate. L I do not know, at times I am so weird.. I just cannot help. I am sorry. Yes, this word may not help. But then, I am so so sorry. I wish I am there at all the times.

You might have hundreds of people in your friend list on Facebook, but you are available on chat to only few. If I start deleting people whom I do not interact with, I am sure my friend list will become really shorter. There are various ways through which people become friends.. school, college, work, friends of friends, social networking sites.. even this blog gave me a friend. J I so want to share the way people ask for being friends on Facebook. It really is hilarious at times. All the girls atleast might have experienced it and most of the guys have done it! ;) 

But I still do not know what friendship is. Knowing someone so true and loving for the same? Is it? May be.. but such friends are hard to find. A friend knows you from where you have come, what you have become and where you want to reach. I feel a single friend can become a world to me, but then truth should be there. It is such a precious relationship one can ever have. Our family is pre-decided by God. But our friends.. we chose them, we decide who should be there in our thick and thin. Just try and make this choice so diligently. I hope I do the same. To actually have a friend, you have to be a friend. Yes, reciprocation is important too! For my buddies, I am glad I have all of you here. Trust me, I am there and I love you all from the core of my heart. I don’t feel I need to name my friends here. Those who actually are will surely smile after reading this post.J And believe me, you are an important part of my life. Just be there.

Take care! Keep Smiling J Ciao. 

Autumn? Winter?

Hello  J

I believe all of us are so confused these days about this weather.. Autumn.. Winters?? What actually is the season these days in Delhi? I am so dying to feel Dilli ki Sardi. On a serious thought, I was thinking have we hurt our mother Earth to this extent?? Winters are becoming shorter year over year. Global Warming! Something which was a GD topic at one time for MBA. Go green, save Earth! Nah.. I am not writing about this.. this post wont be a write up on Global Warming for sure!

I wanted to talk about this beautiful season. People like me, who love winters like anything are waiting so badly. I remember my mom taking out the woolens and keeping aside those naphthalene balls from the big bags. I remember the chilling water.. the dewy mornings and the foggy evenings.. Yes, those were the times….

When I was a kid, I remember listening on the TV channels that ‘so and so people died due to winters’.  We listen to such news today also. The way it affected me then and now is completely different. The thought process of a kid is so superficial.. I used to think how can one actually die due to winters?? It is just a season when you need to wear so many clothes and you don’t feel like bathing. As I grew up, I got the answer.. each and every one of us is not that lucky to have a home, a family and some nice woolens.. and even a blanket where one can cuddle in and hide oneself from the cold.

Lucky people like me are waiting for winters to feel the cold and to get a feel of being lazy in bed and in the warm quilts. And yes, also to show off  the good winter clothes.. But people who have only a couple of clothes to wear, who do not even have a shelter on their heads.. who sleep on the road.. they do not want winters to come at all. They do not want them or their family to shiver and die. I so empathize their situation, but then am I doing anything for them? Except cursing the government for inflation and doing nothing to reduce poverty? No! Nothing! So, what shall I do? Shower money when a beggar comes and begs? No! This is not the solution either. I feel, the money collected like this is used in a form which we can’t even imagine. I feel I need to do something strong for this. Yes, I, one from a billion population of India cannot actually decide one fine day and reduce the poverty and save people from dying from winters. But yes, I can atleast put my little but strong effort in this area. Now, I really need to think upon what can I do…. May God bless them. I don’t want anyone to die due to winters in the coming season.

My winters, by the way, have partially started.. using warm water.. avoiding bathing ;) being lazy… and I am sure this will increase with time. I can’t believe I have already started getting late to office due to my being lazy. I hope I don’t miss my office due to this reason. These days, I just can’t afford to actually. My dear friend Deepika has already started feeling the Christmas winters ;) And yes, wanted to give a very big congratulation for her beginning of achievements! J Would end on this smiling note.

Take Care.. Happy Winters.. Keep Smiling J Ciao.. 

The Gurupurab and The FaceBook Vacation

Helloz… :)

Happy Birthday Guru Nanak Dev Ji!! Happy Gurupurab to everyone! May you all be blessed .. :) . This is one of the days when I so miss Punjab and the Gurudwaras and the Diwali-like lights all over. Things are not very similar in Gurgaon. If you wish to pay your homage, you might need to find one Gurudwara here. And when you find one, it will be too far from your place. Cultures are so different all over the world. Today morning, me and Deepika were talking about Gurupurab, we both have different meanings of it, coz of our different bringing up, different cultures. Wow! Isn’t it wonderful actually? How many culture reside in this one small NCR? I am recalling what I wrote in my Geography exams in class 6th or may be 7th. “India is a country of diverse cultures, glorious history, outstanding monuments, various religions and festivals.” A perfect example of ‘Unity in Diversity.’ Same lines written by all the C.B.S.E. students ;). It is true, indeed.

In my school, Gurupurab is celebrated on a wide scale, with due prayers and karah parshad.. (aate ka halwa) :).  All my Punjabi friends might have updated there FB status as “Happy Gurupurab to all” or.. “lakh Khushiya Patshahiya je satrguru nadir kare..” or may be some more spiritual messages. But I couldn’t see.. coz I have deactivated my FB profile. :( Yes! Nancy, who updates FB almost every second hour with something has deactivated FB..!!! Uff, I am acting so weird! But I am so glad, I got calls from my lovable friends who couldn’t see me on FB. My sweetheart friends missed me :) and questioned me why I am not there? and where are my irritating updates? All I said was.. on a vacation! ;)

I also missed a lot of things. A few of my friend’s birthdays, some new ‘articles’ thing launched by FB, going though a few people’s profile.. being updated by the changes in relationship status of people around.. ;) the changes in profile pictures.. and surely all the new interesting updates. How reliant I was on Facebook for so many things.. and so many of us are. Good or Bad? I don’t know! For me, its doing a good thing, keeping me attached with the people around. But then, I was just checking am I getting addicted?? Got the answer.. No, I am not. :). But then , yes, I missed it badly.. am coming soon.. very soon :)

Thanks for reading. Take Care! Ciao! Keep Smiling :)
