Eliminating Cliche!!!

            "In an unending fight between heart and mind, i seem to be a mere spectator#Confused"



When people lash out at their two important "organs" for existence, im really surprised as to how they are able
to give lead to either of them and pacify the other..Confusing..ain't it??

The dilemma seems unsurmountable but yet again we have a clear winner at the end..either the mind..or the heart!!!


The four chambered entity is too fragile to handle since it is laden with innumberable emotions and feelings where as the mind
everytime portrays its tough being..the grey matter..or the white matter..the intelligence hub(BRAIN) renders strength to it
every moment!!


And in my case, brain has an edge#Truth


Heart laments for things to go in its stride, whereas the BRAIN lists down the pros and cons of every freaking aspect of any issue leaving you aghast to elude
anything*sigh*



Ignorance is bliss sometimes..a blessing in disguise!!!



And then once in a blue moon, we tend to come across a situation where heart and mind are so much in harmony that deciding something seems a petty cake walk
but such instances are so rare..



The purpose of writing this post is to bring forth the confusions and continuous struggle within oneself which goes on inside us without creating any havoc or
making its presence felt but just that..confined to ourselves..


Whose side to take is completely..Your Call!!!


P.S--Within our own confusions, we find a way through!

Just Saying!!!

Some weird thoughts need ESCAPE VELOCITY to trash out from the GRAVITY of our mind!!!






where

G=Gravity developed in our brains(varies from person to person)
M=Mass of the thoughts to be flushed out(weighed by complexity of situation)
R=Resistance to overcome the trash...




P.S:
Lately i have developed that Scheldon Cooper effect(courtesy BIG BANG THEORY)!!!

A tale of an Angry Bird..Goofy..Eid Ul Adha..and the City of Pearls!!!

1..2..3..4..5..6..7..yes i can zero in on # 7..

7 years since i have been away from my home..celebrating life in its various forms..Firstly striving to make myself capable to earn a postion in the fast growing multitude of competitive world..and  once
 done..working to enhance what was left to be groomed further..

So today my post will depict EID-UL-ADHA in the city of Pearls..aka Hyderabad!!!

Minza Mushtaq|(Angry Bird) Feat Fazila Farhat(Goofy):






Umm ..leme describe the other solo character involved..

Well to be precise, she happens to be more than a sister, a confidante, my Agony aunt and someone who bears me in all the wraths..(mostly bad moods).



A typical "natkhat" personality, who, if given a chance can make even our PM(Manmohan Singh) talk (#Pun Intended) and above all justifies true friendship amidst all our disagreement#Take A bOW Goof.

So, taking a day off from work(yes, we had to apply for a LEAVE since our organization doesn't believe in festivities), we set off to the most amazing journey i have ever had in Hyderabad.


EID-UL-ADHA:





Day kicked off with early morning wishes from the family part and yet again my mom is like" Get up its Eid"..ok mom, i will be up..
Pheww..damn, why doesn't this bed just leave me alone..come on, i need to get up Honey..though deep inside i dont wana leave you;-)

Attending the calls in bed, sometimes chatting with Goofy, morning part was full of wishes and wishes with some contemporary tracks being aired in background on our favourite TV, not to forget the socail messaging apps here..Whatsapp was full on..at times irritating with continuous stream of pings..Dear WhatsApp have i ever told you how much i hate you???#TechJoke


And then..a petite breakfast comprising of a couple of pastries, puffs and our traditional "Dodh-Kehwa"(believe me, i made it) set the day ablaze to discover and explore our next stop overs..


---In between, calls and WhatsApp are in no mood to stop their share..bang on technology, you seem so synonymous to life nowadays!!!



Goofy's Rule for the day:" Har jagah auto me jana hai"..
Yes ma'am,why not..can;t stand those buses today..phewww!!!(Did i forget to mention that Volkswagan POLO is my strong crush)



Going further into the day details, Lunch happened to be at one of the exotic restuarants, whose ambience was breathtaking..loved the classic architecture and the traditional dining style, for a change Hyderabad seemed different, in contrast to our daily home to office and office to home routine!!!
Stuck at starters, we did not want to eat more..so our lunch happened to be non-veg starters garnished with hell lots of spicy talks..damn how i love them!!..and then burrppp!!!


Roaming across the streets and lanes of Hyderabad, we two girls were kind of hypnotised by the series of events happening in a city which was completely strange to us but somehow seemed appealing today.
We mocked off our way of celebration, things we planned, our chats and how we were still enjoying our way through these somehow unusual yet precious moments of time spun together to make us accept
life in its every form.


So then, back to the navigation front..this time, it was OLD CITY..Mecca Masjid and Char Minar..
Nature is always the wonderful treat to my vision and something that is never adulterated in its form..yes, the pigeons hopping, flying, devouring those silent sheath of corn lying in the premises



of Mecca Masjid was a treat to watch futher beautified by their steady flights which for a second freezed me, but then, pigeons aint that lethal*wink*



Some people had gathered there to spend some time off with goats which were ready to get sacrificed on the holy day itself.




Seeing the hustle and bustle in that part of the city somehow uplifted the spirit of festivities and for a moment we were contented..Allahu Akbar!!!

Char Minar..with all due respect to its cultural heritage, i dont find anything worth mentioning about it except for the curvature of stairs which gets on  your nerves amidst that ultimate dark atmosphere..naaah!!



Goofy keeps on praising my luck.."Teri kismat achi hai..varna ye jagah pe paer rakhne ki jagah nahi hoti"
Damn..stop it goofy..u ain't my guide..but then, you make me laugh so much so that i can't stop you..so keep on talking like that..

As day was progressing towards the dusk state which happens to be my favourite part of the day, it was time for some cafe discovery and we were off to the "posh" locality of the city..Jubilee Hills.


And my Google maps came to our rescue to discover a cafe..Testa Rossa which was down at some distant place..

Yar ye yahan k logon ko kuch poocho to..unhe malum hi nahi hota..with some exceptions.

Have you ever seen someone as stupid as us(Goofy and me) who spend so many bucks just to sip some aerated drink at some hi-fi cafe amidst people who were enjoying the star studded game--OZz taking on India while smoking their Hookahs..
a scene to watch..not only XYs, XXs also seemed enjoying Hookah but Goofy just had one thing to ask for..
"Chal na photo kheenchte hai..chal na"
And photo session was on..Goofy i get embarassed in front of people..but she won't listen and had some clicks..


Ummm..after spending some time around, we made our way towards GVK mall, and again had a tough time asking people about the exact location but again 2G did come to our rescue at times.

At GVK, again clicks went all the way, sweet poses, crazy poses but i seemed to enjoy it thoroughly..glares here and there, some glances, window shopping..and i would like to mention that of all the malls, this one seems happening enough in Hyderabad as compared to couple of others.

And finally it was time for dinner..

Goofy had already planned to have it at 1857..don't get confused..just the name of one of the finest places to dine at in Hyderabad but then destiny had something else in store for us.

Allah has made everyone equal..even our democracy doesn't support any kind of biasing..but excuse the priveleges that some people in the society get and what can be a better example than some MLA'S WEDDING..Happy Wedding Mr.Whosoever but sorry to say you screwed up our dinner time, our plans at the cost of your full venue booking..parking extending to some "n" kilometers, traffic jams and above all
thanks for landing us in a situation wherein the scene was like:

"Deserted road...no human in vicinity..cell phone battery exhaustes and Goofy all of a sudden panicking"

Damn..i know i want to experience some kind of adventure, but literally not this one.

Mustering up all the courage i had, i tried to keep my calm and then..suddenly from somewhere an autorickshaw came to our much needed rescue....


Day ended with our dinner at a restuarant nearby..

It was a journey from PARADISE breakfast to PARADISE dinner!!!


To wrap it up, i had one of the most sought after days of my life on 16th'Oct'13 wherein i was myself after such a long span of time in a city which is still like a stranger to me but rendering
a firm belief in whatever happens down the line now!!!

A special thanks to Fazila Farhat(Goofy) for living this day with me since future says NO to promises.
                                                           A city..A day..
                                                we went on chasing our way..
                                            Seeking joys in  unknown pleasures..
                                          Leaving behind the homely leisures..
                                                        Was it Eid..u or me..
                                            was it our bonding..or stupid talks..
                                       the fights..the love or the selfless things..
                                  The city's strangeness..or our warmth..
                                                     whatever be the reason..
                                          You and Me make a wonderful WE!!!

            Angry Bird seemed chirpy and happy with Goofy somehow missing MAMA in between!!!



P.S.--Im gonaa miss this madness big time.

Reminder???

And suddenly i overheard someone questioning my existence..

What have i earned till now?
Have i justified being myself?
Have i come upto the expectations?
Have i left an elegant, abstract legacy of thoughts after i am off?


And finally have i been able to achieve that ultimate peace of mind rendering that everlasting bliss to my heart..


Well the questions are many but answers seem to be playing that hide n seek kinda game.

For every character we come across in our lives has either something to teach or something that can be overlooked but in both cases an experience we come across is what matters.


Lately i realised i hardly get time to think about myself, yes, truly, i have dumped myself somewhere down the trash amongst the worldly matters knitted into the tangles of thoughts.

                                                                 "All this time I was finding myself
                                                                  And i din't know i was Lost"(Avicii-Wake Me Up)
Mind always seems preoccupied with thoughts that were never meant to be mine.


What had i been doing all the time?

Or is it because of the fact that i never realised i had grown up, so much so that i could figure out my destination myself.


In an attempt to find answers for the pre-existing ones, a new genre of questions comes up, piled up, seeking their solutions for I seem to be puzzled right at this point of time.


But having realized the fact that the subject "I" has a priority now, i look forward to come over this cliche, set myself free and start afresh with a new outlook towards LIFE.

Having said that..its time for STANDBY.

p.s--am I the first person to overlook my existence???

This Innocence is Brilliant!!!

                                              "Its so beautiful...
                                              It makes you want to cry..."

Going through my playlist, i came across this track by Avril..Innocence..

And then..words..thoughts..profound ideology popped up tempting me to move my fingers across this keyboard and go on typing..

Innocence..no doubt it is a very rarely found human characteristic , but wherever it is, it makes it way up there to be called as the purest form of human emotion..


Being subtle enough to accept whatever comes our way with no questions, no queries..no grudges..no expectations..no games..just a mere form of innocence within..

Sometimes it may take the form of being an idiot or a foolish person but again such things are derived from innocence..

Being so naive in exercising manipulations, innocence comes up breaking the barriers as that can be seen in a toddler or "some" years old baby..They never know what they are doing but they go on with the flow of life and make a way through whatever comes their way..crawling..falling..laughing..crying..trembling..yet never knowing the complexities of the life woven around them!!!

And once they adapt to the life around them, innocence seems making its way out and what comes in is still a mystery!

If somehow it remains intact, it can be considered one of the beautiful assets of an individual.

  Walking across these unknown lanes..
  Of some joys and infinite pains..

I witnessed a point of time...
Where my innocence was coming round and round..

Tactfully so..i went with the flow..
Not knowing the intricacies..nor the results..

I treaded on and on..
Until..my innocence became the most emphatic factor..
and here am I..
"   Slowing down I look around..I feel so amazed"!!!

P.S--These thoughts came up because of the track, Innocence By Avril Lavinge..no connection to real life scenario!!!
