In awe of HAPPINESS!!!

 I came across some blog which related food to happiness, so much so that each word had a connect  to the underlying feeling associated.

I have never visualized FOOD that way..

For me, its just any other entity that is required to keep those breaths coming, to survive in this race and above all, we eat to live or vice versa.

But everyone is entitled to his/her own opinions and maybe I have failed to see the brighter side of edible stuff or else life kept me too busy to witness this..

Somehow that brought forth the concept of happiness..

What is happiness?
What does it mean to be happy?
When do we become happy?

Lately Pharrell’s song about happiness has been associated with the INTERNATIONAL HAPPINESS DAY and it sings aloud about this feeling!

If we conduct a census and ask people what makes them happy, we won’t be surprised to get n number of reasons, all unique in themselves.

For a poor person, it’s about earning enough to meet the two ends of the day..

For a rich person, it’s about adding more bucks to the already overflowing bucket..

For a kid, it’s about daddy bringing all the nicest toys..

For the barren land, it’s about the awaited showers..

For a mother, it’s about her children..

And the list is endless..

If I ask myself what happiness means, I seriously have to think a lot.

Happiness according to me, is an innate feeling arising out of completeness and a sense of confidence in whatever you have done or you are supposed to do or else you are doing..

Happiness is managing to make people smile amidst their deepest sorrow..

Happiness is making your parents proud of your existence..

Happiness is being fair enough..

Happiness is making a big deal out of the small pleasures of life..

Happiness is being there for your chosen ones..

Happiness is being trustworthy..

Happiness is experiencing the season’s first rainfall lashing you out in the downpour..

Happiness is seeing  a baby smile in sheer innocence..

And I can define it in hell lot of ways..

But precisely happiness is being proactive about the fact that this life is too short to be wasted over worries which do no good to us..

So let’s make happiness the constant element of our lives, put it in the driver’s seat, brace ourselves  and enjoy the HAPPY RIDE!

VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

P.S.—These lines from the happy song add to the aura of the finest human emotions:

It might seem crazy what I'm about to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way


Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Making Way For My Season..Monsoons!!!

Here is the much awaited time of the year!

Monsoons on their way..

Its dark..breezy..kind of magic!

Earth awaits to witness the dampness in no time..

But till then the wait gets no easier and in between one can feel the ambiance and the stage being set for the natural wonder..

I, being a pluviophile, have every reason to bring forth this charm!

Be it the tiny droplets..

The underlying splash..

Aroma in air..

Associated clattering..

Sky showering the blessings..

Dry land sensing that water from heavens..

Every part of the rain is wondrous enough to accommodate the feelings associated.

On a personal front, this is just one of things that rains in the happiness for me!!!

Below is a click(snapped by me as I can see from my window) of the City Of Dreams gearing up for the rhythmic splash!

P.S--Somethings in life tend to be your eternal favorites like this RAIN for me!

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!!!
(a line from a track by Rihanna)

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!!!
