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!

And Then It Rained ...

5 pm . Going back to home, under a dark cloudy sky. Huge balloons of clouds about to burst. A group of children going back from school reminds you of your 'good old' school days. You suddenly miss all those came and went and taken-for-granted joys of your life.

And then it rained....

Thick drops of water falling down my glasses. An aquatic world everywhere. A small kid racing past his cycle in a dirty yellow raincoat. The old man selling hot challi(bhutta) to people. Professionals leaving their offices . Frogs croaking from the nearby 'pond' . The shelter less dog on the road . The chai shop does brisk business.

Suddenly you remember all those days which had a weather like this and when all those incidents happened. All those rainy treks, fights, dancing in the rain, talks, walks.

Rains have this thing. It brings out the riot of colourful memories. You remember the time when you felt so relieved as Papa reached home by the first streak of lightning. You remember the great times when you enjoyed chai -pakora in the veranda. You remember the times when your tuition classes or school classes cancelled due to the rains or the times spent with your friends . Those beautiful memories ..... :)


It is so true when they say that the best thing you can do when it is raining is to let it rain ... :)

Living The Moments...

There are several moments in life, when you feel life... just enjoying it. You don't do anything, just let your mind render and live with the moment which would last forever in your mind.

Yeh honsla kaise jhuke,
Yeh arzoo kaise ruke....

The song from the movie 'Dor' was playing in my cell phone . The only other sound was the sound of rain drops falling upon the trees. It had been raining for the whole day. There was darkness all around. Complete silence. A beautiful song playing in my phone, beautiful weather, raindrops falling!! Wow!! Next day's office was the last thing on my mind.

There are so many beautiful and simple things to think about. I had read an article 'Simplify' some days back somewhere. The same was coming to my mind at that time. I realized that we often fail to see the beauty of such simple moments , simplicity.

The song kept talking of moving-on in life, no matter what. But moving on what? Its moments like these that refresh you, give you the strenght to keep on moving. You just have to shut your eyes and let everything be - "for a moment".

"There is no happiness, there are only moments of happiness"
