It was a usual summer morning, but for the passing out batch of St. George School, it is a time when they had to bid goodbye to their childhood friends and safe mushy environment of the school . Outside the world is cruel and competitive; this is what Riya learned from her friends. Riya was a polite young girl, with dreams to make it big in the real world. In her thoughts of parting from Madhav, little she knew of the day ahead.   Half an hour to eleven, and principal Mr. Anthony addressed the class 12 th students with mixed emotions. Madhav was standing with his friends ; friend zoned while eyeing on Riya secretly. He loved her but was scared to express. All his friends knew about his liking for Riya and used to tease him. Riya, on the other hand, loved him secretly and was smart enough to let anyone knew. She used to find ways to talk to him, but Madhav was always surrounded with his friends, wanna be girlfriends and so-called sisters, which made her feel uncomfor...

 In life, there would come many moments when you will feel low and inferior. When people would look down on you. When you will feel out of place and left out even amongst your own friends and family, that is the time of struggle, the time to stand up and dust yourself off after life throws you down. Though it is easier said than done, but that is what the need of the hour would be.  Though everybody has their own ways of handling things, a few tips might help you see the light at the end of the tunnel.  1. Choose not to react People will throw a lot of uncanny comments on you, sarcasm and actions. You might feel they have ganged up against you. The only way to show them your worth is by not reacting to their low life actions.  2. Concentrate on yourself Don't keep on pondering on what others are thinking about you and your actions. Concentrate on yourself, your work and your life. Focus on how to improve things for yourself.  3. Stay Calm Life ...

Lets confess, we all loved those colourful sweet balls called toffees and candies. Every kid's prized possession, one look at them now will take you to back down the memory lane. For those born in mid 80s, these toffees were permament attractions and now are the fondest memories. For people like us, they are also the symbol of simple and less complicated life back then. Lets take some time to feel the way we used to feel back then and live a part of our childhood, a feeling so special and full of nostalgia: Still catch on one of those! The Dollar Bite! A family treat after dinners Melody hai choclaty...dekho kaisi choclaty! our very own..white choclate! Coffee ya Toffee!?! Baratiyon ka swagat tto pan pasand se hoga! The orange candies! The tranparent ones made them look so attractive Just a glimpse of these and our mind wanders through the times we used to play on streets & backlanes carefree. The days where we used to wait for eve...

For our love to stay young and alive For those beautiful days and sleepless nights For you and me  and both of 'us' I have found you! To love you for  what you are to me, To love you for  what you have done to me, To feel the love  you have for me, I have found you! To live happy days  and see you smile, To fulfill our dreams  and walk a mile, I have found you! To make you feel how special you are, can spend nights and days  wrapped in your arms, I love the way you care for me I love you with every part of me, For i love you with every breath in me....

Taking up a cozy corner of CAARA, with Cafe Latte, a hot chocolate brownie and a book/or a lapy when i feel to write....is how i love spending time on chilly December days! This is one of my favorite places where i can be myself! A quiet cafe on the ground floor of British Council Library at Kasturba Gandhi Marg, is dream place for people like me who want to run away from bustling madness of the city and spend quality time of their own! Unlike other normal cafes which would rather make your conversations meaningless with non stop music running in the background, the place has an unsaid rule of being calm and polite.  You won't see flocks of lovers/friends/corporate haunches here, rather genuine book lovers, art lovers, English teachers and a few expats are more to be found grabbing a corner and immersed in their works. Such is a beauty of Cafe CAARA!  For me CAARA is ambiance  which it serves to me! Though it has generous space to itself, the seating is not con...

I looked at you You looked at me, for the questions unasked, and the answers unknown, I wish we could say, on that last day! It made me cold the look in your eyes, which could be felt, but could not be seen, I wish we could make, on that last day! The scribbles on shirt and the shiver of touch, the smile on lips, and the missing beats, to continue it all, I wish we could say, on that last day! There were people around though silence within, my day was alive, but something died, i wish i could collect, what i left behind, is that last day! Through unspoken lines there were thousand signs, wish we could see, and made them realize, I wish i could stay, on that last day! Though the time has passed and we can count the years, i wish we could meet, before the final goodbye, I don't want to die, before that last day!                ...

I can feel it more, coz my bliss shifted me from saddi dilli to amchi mumbai!! After 3 months of settling down at the new place, m back to the blogosphere, promising myself to write more often and frequently. A break of 10 months...and in between life changed!

सुबह के उठने से,  रात के सोने तक,  सुहानी शाम से,  अँधेरे के सन्नाटे तक,  मैं हूँ हमेशा, हमेशा तेरे साथ, बात सदा यही कहूँगी,  कि रहूंगी तेरे साथ! वक़्त चाहे रहे जैसा भी, तेरा साथ न छोडूंगी कभी भी, याद रखना हमेशा तू ये बात, कि हमेशा निभाउंगी तेरा साथ!                                                                 ---- सेतु   फोटो क्रेडिट: गूगल इमेज

This age old statement is partially true and is selfish in its own sense. Man will always like what he has or what he possess or what he inherited or what he aims of? What is beautiful to me, might not be charming to you. Whatever i like will always be beautiful to me. A child is always beautiful to her mother, husband will always be dashing for a wife, first tea will always be tasty for a teenager, first love will always be beautiful to me, my house will be a palace to me.... My thing can never be ugly to me.   Then where does this line fit in? Iam a beholder of my beauty same as others are. In this world of material beauty there are a few acceptable things which defines it: a flawless face, perfect figure, luxurious life,handsome man, success, fame, name, serene blue sea, vegetation, bright moon night, candle light dinner, high hills, snow cladded mountains, art, love, god, blessings, miracles, good luck, mother, father, relationships...
