...Reality check

When you return home after a bad day, all you need is a big warm hug from a loved one to make you feel better.
When you return home with a throbbing headache, all you want to do is put your head in your mom's lap.
When you are upset, hurt, disappointed, lonely & tired, all you want to do is go off to sleep in the warm arms of the one you love ...who will protect you from the world.
You enter an empty house and realize that you just have yourself and that's when reality seeps in.
So, you laugh at yourself and remember the following lines with brimming eyes...

"If you can keep your head when all about you 
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,"
SIGH OF RELIEF :))))

Good ways to spend an evening - one

1. Leave office on time (ok, a li'il late works too)

2. Get a tank full of gas (short for gasoline, and referred to as petrol and diesel in India)
3. Find a direction to drive in... 
4. Set a countdown timer (e.g. I will drive for 25 minutes, and look for the first nice place to have tea)
5. DRIVE
6. Stop... 
7. Eat and have Chai
8. Come back!


I managed to do a 50km drive last night with a couple of friends and went till Virar……….

I love it! Life is uber cool!

:))))

Chai Shaaye Masti....

"If you are cold, 

tea will warm you.

 If you are too heated, 

it will cool you. 

If you are depressed,

 it will cheer you. 

If you are excited,

 it will calm you."

ye kahin padha tha :)))) ha ha ha

 

How many times

How many times I will write about life and how many times will i say Life sucks, Its so obvious that my entire blog says that life is bad and its the worst thing that can happen to someone , this evident from all the posts. It might look that i am a pessimist and I dont have anything in life that makes me happy.

If you dont have anything worth dying you are just wasting your time.
If you dont have anyone worth dying then also you are just wasting your life.

i have stopped making sense out of my blog may be i am confused getting more and more confused, may be I dont know what i want out of life. or maybe when i am getting what i was trying to get i find it not worth working for.

Life is a long journey with falls and climbs

Past is so different then present and future. Past is gone its over , present is reality and future is a dream.You can just remember past and realize that you dont even know where people are who were with you in past. you realize you dont even have failed to sustain relations which were important, you have failed to understand changing ways of life...

But you don't try to go back and mend ways, because there are no mending ways. Past is over and present is your life. you just try to make sure what went wrong in past dont go wrong in present.

You just wish everyone who was part of your past, remains happy, satisifed and content with their present and you try to do that with your own. You just wish that relations you have right now become better in future.  

In life there are permanent friends if not permanent enemies. There are people who will always think good for you , will want you to be happy, even if they dont talk to you, even if they are no more part of your life, you just think and pray same for them.


:))))

Want to travel across India

I have always thought of writing a blog more professionally more maturely but i believe i cant.i want it to be raw want to write what i think and not what people want to read...
Today i want to fly, I want to be free and be alone , travel across the world alone not in luxurious hotels and flights but want to see the world it really is. want to travel across India, staying in small villages trying to find the answer of life. want to know how people think about life. how religions look at it. and whats the meaning of life. 

I wish i do this one day.

:))))

Valentine's day, Friendship day

1st sunday of august--The world celebrates it as friendship day, 

14th February -  Valentine's day! 

The malls are full and so are cinema halls with groups of friends who take time out from their busy schedules to meet each other! Ever thought of spending a friendship day or valentine's day with your FAMILY? Not really because you have a busy schedule and this can be altered only for friends! Guys perhaps the priorities of the world have changed!

Family bonds replaced by Friendship Bands!

Whether the above statement is correct or not is purely subjective! Prioritizing these relationships is the need of the hour. Imagine about a day your friend is happy for standing first in his/her college or for some other achievement! What would you expect of him/her to do? Call you and tell you that he/she is the happiest person on earth? Subsequently, you discover that you are the last person to get the news or rather another friend of yours gives this news! How would you feel?? Doesn’t the same feeling grip your parents when you call up all your friends but fail to call them and inform them this?

To quote another example. Say your dad gets you stall tickets of a movie you desperately wished to see with great difficulty. Still you grumble about him not getting you balcony tickets. Aren’t you taking your parents for granted here? Tomorrow what if this turns out to be a conversation between you and your friend, how would YOU feel if you are in your dad’s shoes?
Its not that I feel not to have friends but the point is you need to draw a line somewhere as regards the time spent with them! Don't you ever feel that there is a need to spend sometime with the people at home !
Take some time out to say "MOM YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND" OR "DAD I LOVE YOU"
There are people who go out with their parents on Mother's Day and Father's Day! Do you really need a specific day to express your love to them!

Its high time we need to think over it GUYS!

:))))

Valentines

Valentines Day doesn't have to be one day a year. Love with all of your heart and soul. Giving yourself completely to someone can be scary, but there is never a bad time to tell your loved one how you feel about them.

       The most amazing gift you can give someone is your heart. Cherish your time together and make every day Valentines Day but engagement rings don't hurt either!


So ??

FEBRUARY MONTH OF LOVE

FEBRUARY 

A month of Love and Lovers.
LOVE, a small word but containing a very deep feelings.......
when we ask to people-What is love?
Their reply may be like that.....
Love is honesty and trust
Love is helping one another.
Love is mutual respect.
Love means that differences can be worked out.
Love is reaching your dreams together.
Love is the connection of two hearts!

But can we really define LOVE.....hummmmmmmmmmmm...i dont think so.........

Love is a feeling, that we feel when we meet to someone who have the same feeling in his/her heart. But dont have words to say anything.......both(girl/boy)want to say somuch but cant able to show their feeling just because they dont want to loose each other. But my dear friends if you have someone so special and you love him/her so much then dont wait.........express your feeling if he/she loves you definitely will accept and your life will become heaven......but if he/she not accept your love it definitely doesn't mean that your life is hell or your life is finished, its only mean that he/she is not the right person you are looking for..........life never wait for anyone......so kya pata kal ho na ho...........


So my dear friends, If you want to tell me your first love story and how you propose your love one, you can share me on my comment box.

SMS's sometimes.

Some text fwd's on my fone really tick me off... i hate them... some find a place in my saved list.

This is one of the nice messages i got that always stays in my inbox
Life means : A winter evening, four friends, mild rain, four pegs of rum. Life means: 100 bucks for petrol, two rusty old bikes, an open road. Life means: Maggi noodles, a hostel room, 3.25am, sonu nigam and asha bhonsle on the radio. Life means: 1 prep leave, 1 night, 1 book, 8 duffers. Life means: 1 girl/ boy, 1 number, 4 friends and a fight.

Now life means: old friends, separate cities, separate lives and endless messages to stay in touch.

I somehow agree... another in this series

Ek din zindagi aise mukaam par pahuch jayegi
dosti sirf yaadon mein reh jayegi
har cup chai yaad doston ki dilayegi
aur haste haste fir aankhein bhar aayengi………….

Office ke cabin mein classroom nazar aayegi
par chahne par bhi proxy nahi lag payegi
paise to bahut hoga magar
unhe lutane ki wajah hi kho jayegi……….

jee le khulke is pal ko mere dost
kyunki zindagi in palon ko
fir se nahi dohrayegi!

:)

PENDING HAI

Pending hai,
Bahut saari baatein,ek cup coffee aur,chain ki neend bhari raatein
Pending hai,
Ek baar dil khol ke rona,zor zor se thahake laga kar hasna,aur bachho ki tarah sudh kho kar sona
Pending hai,
Khule maidan mein bhaagna,rail ki patri par balance bana kar chalna,aur doosre ke gharo mein jhaankna
Pending hai,
Kandhe par sar rakhna ,pyar se roothna aur manaana,aur achanak maathe ko choomna,Zindagi mein khwahishein kam nahi hoti,Shikwon ki list un ending hain,Jitna bhi haasil kar lo,kuch na kuch humesha Pending hai!

My Room's in a Mess

Dim lights flickering images on tv and cushions lying over the bed messy cupboard, overflowing laundary bag and shoes all over the floor

thats the state of my mind right now i know i need to clean it up but don't know where to start, oh! there are clothes hung behind my door i usually dust whatever is superficial and clean the mess once a week

but this time around i left it unattended and its grown into a pile i have shopped for new stuff and i don't know where to put it since the room is so overloaded, for me to fix it will take a while let's start by opening the windows and letting the sun warm the room clean the closet first coz it has webs all over by now empty half filled glasses, keep magazines in place i am working on it pretty fast and working on it how! one by one the room is cleaner and and wasnt really that tuff i love to put my feet on the cold relaxing floor i have rediscovered new spaces and found a lot of missing old things i m glad i began somewhere and appreciate life all the more...

Hinterlands

Ibne Batuta 
Dono Taraf Se Bajati Hai Yeh
Durghatna Se Der Bhali Hai

The real growth lies in the lower pop strata towns .

Numbers are adding up from the countryside
This has been the situation for almost a decade now in the business and industry

But media is always a step forward.
i strongly believe that it is a change harbinger instead of an emulator
So when Vishal Bhardwaj makes his 2nd movie which is set in pure and raw UP Hindi , Anurag Kashyap makes Gulal with pure hindi mass lyrics and songs ..... the jump from developing to developed state has been made for the Hinterland (for the longest time refered as cow belt by the other developed states brethren)

Also it is a logical distribution expansion phenomenon.
Top 5 metros distribution moves to cover the class 2 towns as seen in telephony

aka for language in popular media ...
English gave way to few Hindi+English phrases; That moved to englicised Hindi or what we popularly call Hinglish;then pure Hindi happened and hold your breadth it is time for the  Shudh Desi version of the dialect as spoken by the masses to become the depicted version on the Bada Parda

The larger impact is that Hinterland from being apologetic is the new source of stylish original identity.
The metro cousins are at a loss. There is no unknown and treasured nuances of language there !
And i am at glee because my spontaneous flow of UP style phrases and words now make for an opening to an exotic cultural exploration which erstwhile was unnoticed or even invitation for slight contempt and apologetic stance from my side

Here's to the time of the Hinterland.
