Oblivion???




And sometimes I think about the world, though a chunk of universe..

The Life..

The happenings..

The Resentment..

The Bliss..

The Apology..

The Forgiveness..

The Grudges..

Dreams..(reflection..sideffects of living..)..

The Struggle..

The Pain..

The Remedy..

The Love..

The Hatred..


  An unfathomable sea of humanly knit brittle emotions..and alas obliterated by Death!


O Life though you give humans everything..Death just confiscates your heart..
You just get chickened by its mere presence..

But verily..not mortified, though a bit odius!!!

Yet I am a big fan of your audacity making this "Forever wthin a number of days" seem so surreal!


P.S..THis verse from Quran makes it worth accepting and qualifies our life as a transition between two worlds:

"To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return." (Quran Surat Al Baqarah 2:156)"

She..Unplugged!!!

And its the world celebrating International Women's Day!!!



Being one myself, I feel quite lucky to belong to this category of human race which is diverse in every bit..*chosen*


An immediate and so good to feel example..Our Mom.


A woman who is responsible for our existence and we owe it to her..till death.


Woman symbolizes quite a number of significant characteristics and outlooks which are detrimental to a society in which we dwell..day in and day out.


Well, I will try to frame this post not as a female chauvinist but as a proud woman/girl/lady..whatever the name we give it to those 'XX' set of chromosomal characters.


The journey!!!



We start from being Daddy's little princesses..



No doubt, the bond between a girl and her father is beyond any explanation..

Pure..Selfless..Tightly bound by affection..

Backbone of a daughters existence..and an emotional hub of fathers love..

The start is as beautiful as the newly bloomed rose in a garden..fragrant..classy and forever favourite!!!

And Daddy becomes the first love of a girls life..setting the standards sky high..


Not to neglect the special package of love that is forever prevalent inside that lady we call our MOM..take a bow.
She is next to God..providing a hinge to the love received from both parents..this relation is as pure as that fresh drizzle of the first rainfall!!!



We grow up..a midst our likes and dislikes and in between we are sisters,,friends and the count of relations is one to many or many to many!!!

A sister for a brother..

Be it a brother-sister relation or a sister-sister relation, from a personal perspective, i find SISTER as the most compassionate and a realistic form of being a woman.


Beware..My brother is a hero..don't mess with him..
My brother masters masculinity..beat it..
My brother protects me..invincibly
and above all..
My brother is possessive about me..
Like a precious pearl guarded by an oyster shell..O brother how dear you are to me..
I find endless reasons for thanking God for crowning me as a sister!!!


Sister for a sister



Well i have a mirror image of a perfect PRINCESS..

She is beautiful..confident..emotional...flamboyant but down to earth as she is Me inside another body..

Sisters are one soul, presiding inside two bodies..

Harm one..other sulks..
Make one happy..joy reflects in her counterpart.

An inseparable creation of Almighty whose sole purpose is to justify being siblings and friends forever..

Friend..

Well this one is quite tough to define since she epitomizes a tinge of sisterhood in friendship(saying so from personal experience)


Communicating through normal senses is quite common..

We communicate through eyes..

Ranging from a minor tiff at home to a drop dead gigantic crush..we share it all..

We make fun of each other..pull each other's leg..but at the same time celebrate our differences and respect each other.

In that case, sometimes we pose a biggest threat to anyone..mess with my friend..and dude, your game is over..
Like that sweet n sour..CHIP and Dale..
or those adolescent bunch of ladies.. Rachel..Monica or Phoebe of FRIENDS..

or last but not the least..Robin and Lily of 'How I Met Your Mother'

We get along with everything in our own way..

Girls..aren't we bestowed with such wondrous existence??

If yes..then wait for it..next is your Kingdom of Dream that follows..


Soul mate..


Well whosoever is bound to join as a companion in living the rest of this "forever within limited time" called LIFE, is our PRINCE CHARMING..

Having redefined the meaning of Love, we serve as Wives to our Husbands and as such portray the most important character of our lives which is that sort of building block for the generations to follow..



So we justify and dimensionalise the feeling of LOVE in different forms and that is the beauty of being a female!!!


Not to forget the rising role of women in all walks of life..



A perfect Doctor..

A skilled Engineer..

Role Model..Teacher..

Sky soaring Astronauts..

Glamour doll Models..

Fashionista Actress..

Amazingly interesting Writers..

Witty Journalists..

And obviously the list is endless...since ocean inside us is profound enough to accommodate and reflect any talent..



Shoutout to the spirit called Womanhood!!

P.S..this pic says it all:

In conversation with Myself!!!

A hidden maniac for sure..
A dreamer on a roll..

Sometimes over the top..
Sometimes out of the box..

I took a long time to get into the depth of my being..
But once related.. it has been a flaming thing..

Religiously grumpy.. Categorically selfless ..
I always try not to make an unnecessary mess .. Nevertheless;-)

Framed by my rules, my beliefs and my perceptions..
Adamant enough to cause a stir..
I believe in what I ought to be..
Be it my delusion..

Conversations go on and on..
With people??
Naah..It’s me..conversing with myself..from dusk till dawn..

Magnitude of thoughts is hefty..
Dimensions of vision are widespread..

Sometimes down the line..
All piles up inside this petty li’l mind of mine..

At times breaking the shell..
Sometimes..inside I dwell..

Mocking off my immaturity..
Celebrating my wit..
Visualizing life in a different spirit..

In the quest to know the true colors of life..
Its aim..
Its key..
Looks like I am here to break the magicians code!!!

PS:  Even the angels have their wicked schemes!!!

An attempt to Resurrect!!!

Caught between the tough times and equally tough people..
Sometimes i question myself..

Am i too naive..too brittle to handle..
Am i too focused or gone out of the loop..
Am i saturated or still the glass is half empty or else half full?

Change at times is required..but it can't necessarily be the permanent element of life..

Having pushed my boundaries..
Having tried to attempt something new..
Coming across the different colors of world..

I tried to familiarize myself with what was missing in me..



But now..

I can feel the pressure..
Pressure deep down..
A call from my roots..

To where I belong..
With all synonymity..

And..suddenly i feel alienated in this unknown zone..


That smile which gives a green beautiful signal to my day..Mom..
Since i have missed that all this time..happiness seems more of a stranger to me!!!

A support..a friendship..a confidant..a person who mirrors my being..Sister..
Definitions of these words seem to have changed since you epitomize their purity.


A sweet n sour relationship rendering guard and all affection to my life..Dear Brothers..
Having missed that..i feel astray!..

And above all..a feeling which completes me as a person..

A feeling of being at HOME!!!


Its time..
Its time to fit in my place..to restore happiness..to be what I was!!!

P.S..Now that i know where I belong, the journey will be easier..

FlashBack!!!

Peekaboo..


The very first post of this year is dedicated to all those people who have left an impression in my life since the time i met them in this professional journey.

Its exclusively dedicated to my team mates and my mentors out there in Pune.

A bit off the track but not the one to be missed out on..


Corporate world..

Something characterized by backstabbing..planning..politics..favors..spoon feeding..flattery and what not.

I don't disagree on these various flavors of our typical IT industry but somehow i came across some different perceptions and altogether different mindsets.


And its confined to a place which has made that special place in my life for making me what I am today.

Pune..East Oxford..rightly named so.

An extra sober city with classic lifestyle garnished by quality people..that's what its all about.

Kicked off mt IT career with this place and explored my various sides which were hidden up till now in some of the darkest corners of my individuality.

With each day i learned,,,earned and became a better individual than i was earlier(no doubt i became extra lean;-))


And somehow overly shy being of mine confronted its upbeat form for the very first time..

Pune it was..my favorite and it will continue to be.


And in this journey i made some quality friends with whom i found an easy connect and a respect within.

Selfless characters have always attracted my fondness and i found a bunch there.

Today i stand at a point wherein no doubt the # of my friends stays limited but the quality within is unfathomable..can't even be gauged and
thats what makes me happy and satisfied to acknowledge myself as a good friend.

This much would be enough to qualify the impact and the place Pune has in my life that instead of being from a far far state i love to say..JAI MAHARASHTRA!!!

P.S--Some things are surreal and stay with you for an entire lifetime no matter where u are!!!

A year that was...2013

and here is a big bye to the the year which was in itself a mixed bag of happenings but primarily not the best outa the lot!!



I witnessed some of the most beautiful moments of my life which will be dear to me throughout this journey.

Laughed, cried, sulked, sobbed...no emotion was missed and yes I realised that it has been some time now since I have grown up..thoda sa hi sahi.


Given new dimensions, things do behave differently..

I did not know this but as they say better late than never..i finally understood this!!


A parody of months..zillions of moments..what else..


Jan..Feb..Mar..Dear onsetters..i have no grudges from you..you were outstanding!!!

April..May..June..Dear mid quarter..you were the best..

I had some of the best experiences in these months which made me happy like never before and built in the confidence inside me.

But as they say..nothing lasts forever..

July..Aug..not so good..not so bad..dearies..you can be ignored..

September..the game changer!!!

In a way this month, changed the course of my outlook towards people and myself.

I never visualised things from different angles though it was needed and as such i perceived them in my way which made nothing seem harmful and unreal to me.

But a stone can be either a stepping one or stumbling one and in both cases, you go off the track to discover something new..so did I.


Wake me up when September ends han!!!


October...

November..dull enough

December..
and last month was some relief..

Spent some quality time with my mom which rejuvenated this being of mine.


My lifespan-1...bye bye 2013


Dumping all the negative energies and thoughts in your fading shadows..Im stepping forward with lots of expectations from 2014 as it equals #7!!!

Get..Set..and Gooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Impromptu Lesson By Salman Khan!!!

I have never been that BHAI aka Salman fan since i belong to his counter part fan club..yes, rightly guessed a hard core SRK fan..
and why not to be..apart from being KING OF HEARTS, SRK is that hub of intelligence and well built scholarish mind..


But my subject today is not to display the greatness and charm of my favorite actor but something that was a random thought from Salman yet it caught my attention..so much so that, this post is all about that one line.


Day: Sunday
Channel: Star World.
Show: Coffee With Karan.


So, on 1st December, this great "Coffee flavored" show premiered its 6th season and to everyone's surprise Salman Khan was the first to be aired..


Well..eyebrows raised..skeptical opinions..blah blah..that's what media spiced it up with, but I will be keeping it simple enough.



Casual enough..witty answers..confronting every question..confusing the host himself..talking about his rivals..etc etc, Salman was at his best that i have ever witnessed in my entire lifetime.

And a segment with Salman's father was that icing on the cake which made everyone realise that even the biggest of stars maintain that "offspring" character in front of their parents..rightly portrayed by Bhai..


The conversation went on and on and suddenly this particular piece of conversation caught my already stiff attention:

"Mere andar abhi bhi wo purana salman hai..i miss him..lekin use andar hi rakhta hu main..bahar nahi laata..this part of me is Boring"

And yes i found a connect with it..


Truly said Mr.Khan..


There are lot of us, who for the sake of matching the contemporary trends and needs, keep the real part of their nature inside, buried deep down..but they forget that its a part of
their being, their existence and a part of their recognition.

Agreed that in this world of high-end, brutal competition, we need to pull up our socks and bring out the best in us, but in that struggle forgetting our basic instincts and interests is nowhere justified
for I have realized happiness is an innate feeling..you just can't force yourself to be happy..

With the flow of life, lets just not make our real dreams and ambitions go waste but instead work towards them, bring them forth in the front seat and give ourselves a chance to take the charge..


One Life..
Infinite Dreams..
Billions of Encounters..
One Hit..
And there You go..


PS: This coffee had a blend of hidden "BEING HUMAN" flavors in it!!!
