Can't think of any title for this post....

I meet few people who make me realize how complicated life people live and mine, in comparison to them, is such a uncomplicated simple life. Am I being mean to look into their lives and feel the relief that it is not mine?

May be. But its true that it makes me feel glad that I am me and my life is as good as it can get. Touch wood :)

Nostalgia .... Friend :)

Sometimes you grow up , and then all the things you did in your past seem like a childish prank, the moments of insensibility that make you smile when you think back upon them....



Meeting old friends is a nostalgic moment. But amongst all the nostalgia, what hits you the most is that despite all the many miles that you have traveled between each other and all the lives that you have lived over the years , you are all very much the same in terms of people that you are . You all laughed , you all cried in these past years . You all were very different and then at that moment when we meet , you are still the same , my little sweet friend:) Somehow ! You and I !

I guess there is much which we have in common , you and me. Maybe some day , we shall be able to share more time and stories together , because I would love that :)

Words ........ & Silence .... :)

While returning back from office , I saw some 4-5 children yesterday . They were just like other children who were enjoying there , wearing good clothes , looking great, but the thing which made different from them was that they could not speak. They laughed , they smiled , they talked with their actions . As someone said , actions speak louder than words , it was so true for them as that was the only way they could communicate.

I just felt like how much urge they had in themselves to say things and feel them ... but they were always short of words ... they didn't have words for them . And we have our voice box intact always and still we are short of words every day...

Where would I be .....

I really wish life came with a detailed plan. A list of all the places we'll be at in future in our lives. 10 years back , I would never have imagined that I would be where I am today , physically and mentally both. So much has changed , so much is changing and will keep changing. And now I wonder , where I'll be next ...

How many times do you think like this in a day? Or I am the only creature who keeps on thinking like this stuff? I guess , we all do . I had a long conversation with a friend yesterday about what one would do , if they choose to leave their present day of life. And I realized that I am not the only one worried about where I'll be few years down the line. How will I accomplish all that I want to? Will my current plans work out or life will throw a new ball towards me. In that case , will I have to start all over again ? Something has happened in our family which I could never have ever imagined . The incident has shaken us all. Nothing can be taken for granted. A million of calculations run in my head 24*7 , of what more I can do to better our lives , to give every happiness to my parents. A few bright ideas aside , I am restless. This is not something new with me , but then of late , I feel time is running out and I need a jump start of sorts. I know I am going somewhere , I just don't know where.

Is that the case with most of us out there ? Moving randomly in search of an aim ?

Kuch Khaas Hai Hum Sabhi Mein ..... :)

Remember guys the advertisements and their jingles which were all the time on our lips when we were kids...
Yes I am talking about the creative TV advertisements and their jingles... I am not criticizing today's' advertisements but those ads were too good.

Today my friends and I were talking on this and we refreshed our memories with our all time favourite advertisements .

I thought why not I jot them down and keep it with me forever :)

So here are few which I can remember and are and will always be my favourites :)

All time favourite ones...

Dairy Milk .... Kuch meetha ho jaaye: )

Kuch Khaas hai Hum Sabhi mein

Kuch Baat hai Hum sabhi mein...

Khaas hai..

Kya swaad hai...

Zindagi mein...

Remember Cadburies Adv, girl dancing in the center of ground when her boyfriend hits a century . I just lovvvvvvvve that ad. Every time I see this ad , I have a biiig smile on my face.
























































There must be many more which I might have missed..

But what do you say, got any memories with all this :)

I am in love ......

... And we all are ... with life ... Isn't it ??

While going to office and returning back to home everyday , I notice so many people like me. I hope I don't meet with an accident noticing all these people and not concentrating on driving. Hehe.

I see a bike and on the back of it , is written "I love my bike" , It looks nice and it shows that the guy has something to flaunt about, something that is dear to him. Definitely he enjoys what he has .


Then I see a very small kid going to school in his uniform , laughing alone whole - heatedly. I can see the happiness on his face , his eyes , may be he is happy , thrilled , don't know the reason, but he is happy and runs to meet someone with whom he can share his happiness.


On a little distance , I see a sweeper, with a big dust-bin, cleaning the road, with no expressions on his face. He's neither happy , nor thrilled, nor sad . It is his livelihood . He has to do it, to feed his family , to survive.


I see houses , those small houses , that are homes for some people... near a public loo , where I literally stop breathing when I have to cross it . It is so stinking. But people live there, they eat, they sleep, they wake up there, they laugh there, they cry there, they LIVE there. Its their home, its their 'own' place. Don't know whether they are satisfied or not , but this is it.


I see a man sleeping on a footpath and then I see some one in a chauffeur driven car, enjoying his morning newspaper.


And just a little ahead , I see these big companies like Dulux Paints, Godrej , Dell, Quark City , Hindustan Times , Ranbaxy, where I see myself and many more like me , young, educated, well dressed, having dreams in their eyes. For us , life is so different from the life which is some 100 metres behind...


I think , all of us, no matter what kind of a situation we are in , what kind of a life we are living , doesn't matter whether we are enjoying every moment of it or not.... we love life , we just can't let it go. I am completely in live with life, with people and everything around.


I read this below written quote somewhere, to be precise on Orkut , yesterday .
"I have a habit of changing the channel when a song , that I am enjoying too much , is about to get over because I don't like that feeling, the feeling of the song getting over, a song that I was enjoying so much...so I switch to something else just before the end....I am just worried...'coz when this beautiful song of life will be about to end.....I'lll have no channels to switch to....."


Never mind , its ok . I am enjoying this song. And this is what matters.

You made my day :)

Each day starts with a smile but today it started with fear , grief . I was feeling bad . I don't know why . Something in my mind was troubling me.

I don't know why , I was feeling frustrated. I just wanted to sit in my room alone for some time and just let go my tears. It does not happen usually but it was a different day today.

Whenever I feel depressed , I listen to songs or just sit alone for sometime . But nothing of these aided me today as I had to rush for office.

After coming to office, as usual , after some work, half day was over.

And after lunch break, a friend called me with whom I had lost touch for quite sometime. Then we both had a brief talk . This talk soothed my heart , put a smile on my face :) It elated me and made my day .

Seriously I am proud of having some good friends , though not many , but I have a real friends who can make my day with a small talk . Yeah , I mean it . This post is dedicated to her, Nandu, who delighted me , brought back my smile . So I am back into my life now :)

Day Dreaming...

I have this habit of day dreaming . I guess we all do to some extent. But there are people like me who do it a lot. Or over-do it if I might say.

Day dreaming is something which comes naturally to everyone. Especially when you are attending a boring lecture or a faaltu meeting in office. But I always found it as a great way of living up things that you might never get to do. Suddenly you are performing live in a concert along with A.R.Rahman, or you are sky - diving. Suddenly your room is full with chocolates. You can host a show on radio with your favourite R.J or just spend some time with him, you can become a TV show host, a movie critic, an ad guru and just about anything.

Many a times I end up starting a conversation saying, “I want to ..”. I think that is the problem with too much of day dreaming. I can make a long sheet of "want to do's" . If you are a lazy person like me then it can add fuel to fire. And suddenly when more than a few people point out that I am over-doing or doing 'only' that, then it puts me into the thought mode. Does it really affect the success or the lack of it you attain in life? It sure would , if one of these dreams is your goal in life. But what if it is not? Would it still harm you? Should I sit and introspect it ?

My logic is simple. I am never going to get to do any of those things in life (secretly hoping for a miracle though!). So why not feel happy for that brief period of time. But the trick is to keep that time period to be brief. And what is the trick?.... “Pata nahi; Lekin pata chalte hi bata dungi sabko . Hehe :D”.

INSPIRATION...

Reading Param and Pulkit's blog, I always thought that one day I would also write some poetry. So started writing some days back but without any 'inspiration' . Hehe. But hard luck. I wonder I'll ever write a poem in future or not!



Thinking of writing poetry
I sat like Newton under a tree
To get some inspiration from things around
But I didn't find one, sweet and sound
No matter how hard I thought
I didn't get a word to wrote
When my whole page left blank
I didn't know whom to scold & whom to thank
For giving me pen , paper & mind
But not an idea of any kind!
Still I waited for some inspiration
To complete my poem with satisfaction!
