Life keeps flowing...

Life flows…

Situations come…go…come…

some play with you

some handled by you…

not in perfect way

but at least it seems so…

you become a toy of circumstances

dance like a puppet

to the tunes of good or bad phases.

Life flows…

People meet…depart…meet…

some leave you

some with you…

not forever

but at least they try to be…

you become a slave of relations

fight like a warrior

as per the good or bad time.

You make situations…Good or bad.

Or

Situations make you…Winner or loser.

Decide yourself!

But life keeps flowing…

Take responsibility...

Some days back
I was sad
for some silly reasons.
Suddenly
I was given some responsibility.
I thought 'How can I do this?
but then
I became busy to fulfill that.


After some days…

I was crying
for some stupid things.
All of a sudden
I was asked to make somebody smile.
I thought 'how can I do this?'
but then
I became busy to do anything for that.


After a couple of days…

I was confused
for taking some important decision
Out of the blue
I found myself
helping someone else
for taking the very same decision
Oh My God!
How can I do this?


Now what I’ve realized…

Nature is teaching me a lesson every time
whenever I need it the most.

Take responsibility as much as you can!

the more we take responsibility
the more capable we become!

Same but different!

Beautiful or ugly,

Interesting or boring,

cheerful or tragic
whatever it is…

but of course every face tells a story.

A mobile library

carrying past, present

and dreams too

every time.

Alone or together

with smile or tension

but undeniably everyone is like a story.

Choose as you like

read as per your interest

but somehow
you find the same things

in every story.

Same feelings, same emotions

order may be different

although
series is same because

every soul has been given a common life story!

I am changed!

I feel

I am a changed person now.

why…how…but…

my lots of questions have changed into

‘so what?’!

The thing is

I’ve to accept people as they are

with a smile

or

a pinch of salt.

choice is mine

so it’s better to choose

‘a smile’!

The fact is

whatever happens

just happens

because it’s bound to happen.

so no one is at fault

only

'Lack of awareness'

is responsible for every situation!

ek aur naya sapna...

सपना  देखते  देखते 

आज  एक  और

नया  सपना  देखने  लगा  है  मन

सही  या  गलत

अच्छा  या बुरा  

होगा  मेरे  लिए

नहीं  मालूम

पर आज

फिर से 

एक और 

नया सपना देखने लगा है मन!!!

I want to be a part of the Change!

Everybody was looking at us. Somebody gave us a surprise look while somebody gave an innocent smile. Somebody was so motivated that they just joined us at the moment while somebody made us realized their support by saying ‘Vande Matram’ with us. Wow! A common man is in support of a common man when it is matter of our Nation!

Sharp at 9:00 am, I got a call from my sister yesterday. ‘Be careful while going office, Anna Hazarre has been arrested early in the morning. Spontaneous protests have been broken out in different parts of Delhi in against of it. So it’s better to opt metro route as you may face heavy traffic jam’ she said. I immediately said ‘hmmm you are right, I’ll do that.'' And, I just hung up the phone as I was getting late’.

‘What am I doing here?’ ‘What can I do now?’ ‘Can’t I go there to support him?’ I was so occupied with these kinds of questions while moving from hostel to bus stop. I was also thinking to go by metro...but why should I take metro route???...just to avoid traffic jam... there is a 74 years old man who is on indefinite fast for us only and we are thinking like this :(

Anyways, now I was in the bus and soon all my questions were converted into one question ‘How can I participate in this movement?’ Because I wanted to be a part of the Change.

In office I was not so much busy. Just routine work so the thought was in my mind the whole day ‘how can I participate?’ Suddenly in the evening I got a message from my Art of Living teacher ‘Come and join us. Today we all shall assemble in white dress at…for peaceful candle march to support Annaji” Aah! I got the way :)

I didn’t wait for my chartered bus even and caught a DTC bus to reach there on time.

At 6:30 pm we were around ten people there holding banners and posters quoting ‘Art of living supports India against corruption’. As I held the banner I saw my chartered bus on the road. At first I tried to ignore as everybody was there who knew me very well but all of sudden my heart says ‘why to ignore?’ And, within one second I looked at them and smiled with a new confidence because I was doing for what I was craving for long. Wow! what a great feeling it was...

Now we all were raising slogans like ‘Anna tum sangharsh karo, hum tumhare sath hai’ , ‘Vande Matram’, ‘paas karo, paas karo, Jan Lokpal bill paas karo’.

I surprised to see public reactions. People literally stopped their vehicles and supported us with their gestures. Whatever we were sloganeering, the words automatically were coming out from their mouths also.

We were accompanied by 4-5 police officers and some traffic police. They were very kind to us. They politely told us ‘Do what you want to do but it must be peaceful. No traffic jam. No misleading slogans. No violence etc’. They were right in their point of view because now we were around 150 people on the road carrying candles in hands.

This time the experience was different for me. I observed others' reactions also. Last time in April when Annaji intiated the movement against corruption and raised his voice for demanding Jan Lokpal, then also I participated in silent candle march from India Gate to Jantar-Mantar. But that was my first ever experience of doing something for me and my country. Then I felt my reactions only but yesterday I felt the common man's anger and passion too...

Celebrated Friendship Day!

Continuous four hours on phone (11:45 pm to 3:45am)…with my sweet friend…

first narajgi…then sweet comments…gup-shup… sharing new experiences of

life...fir kuch dil ki batein…kuch serious discussions...and then ended with a

pakka plan to meet soon…aah! that's my Sunday! A conversation full of almost every

emotion without realizing it was International Friendship Day :)

A phone call!

It’s 27th July!

So anything special in this?

Nothing as such, but suddenly one of my friends made me realized it’s 27th July ;)

Early in the morning he just called me up and asked me like ‘What are you doing now-a-days?’ And, the most important question: it’s been long. Almost one year since we talked about this…so what have you done so far?

I just avoided the topic...I was not able to recall what he was talking about...ahem! ahem! here my presence of mind worked and you know I talked to him for approximately fifteen minutes. 

But

the question still remains in my mind!

What I have done so far? Especially between 27th July 2010 and 27th July 2011.

Well, what should I say?

Things just happened neither by chance nor by choice. Some were just wow while some were awful!

Anyways, that’s a part of life but you know what matters for me the most after evaluating the whole previous year…I had a new experience! :)

Yes! It was entirely new for me and I enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks to dear life!

Well, now I should arrange the things for which I am always interested to do…

like improvement in my current job profile. Honestly speaking I am grateful for my work. It’s very part of my identity and I love most of it. Still there is something which is incomplete...lots of things I have to do...hmm lots of things...

And undoubtedly, there are some other things… I do some...but for some I still crave for like travelling new and different places, driving brand new cars, cooking perfectly, watching lots of movies, reading a lot, playing some music instrument, painting and last but not least yoga plus meditation.

You won't believe that the last word of my last sentence has touched my heart. Thanks to Art of Living! Some days back I joined it. And, I am loving it!

Now, let's see when will I say like Shilpa Shetty 'the secret of my beautiful figure is Yoga'  ;)

Enough is Enough!

Literally it was my fifth round. As usual I was hopeful this time my work would be done definitely. But once again I was proved wrong. Again adverse situation was in front of me. And, that was a very right time to burst out on the person. But you know what I did. I just took a firm decision that I won’t come here again. And it took hardly 2 seconds to decide this. Of course I dedicated three words ‘Go to hell’ to the person but unfortunately that didn’t come out of my mouth at the moment :)

No irritation. No frustration and no regrets even. But on the way I was thinking why I took decision in a hurry (‘hurry’ c’mon Shveta! Enough is enough! It’s your 5th trip to this place. After all there should be a limit to patiently waiting for something)

Anyways! I had to do my work at any cost. So I did it, but, in a new and different manner. I was very happy to do this because for so long I was procrastinating to do this new thing.

Lesson: Whenever you meet adverse situations, don’t lose heart. You are going to learn something new. Yeahhhhhhhhhhh!

apne hi to hai sapne...

Band ho ya khuli...
aakhon ko aadat si ho gayi hai...sapne dekhne ki

nadaan hai, nahi janti
mjaak bnate hai sabhi uske chote-chote sapno ka
hamesha paldha bhari hi rahta hai sabki badi-badi bato ka

waise to
kasur nahi unka bhi
kyonki sapne hamare hai, unke nahi
kaise paehchaan payenge wo inke rango ki sachchai ko
jab tak mehsus nahi karenge, khud apne sapno ki gaehrai ko

dekho na
aaj apna hi to hai
kal tak tha jo ek asambhav sapna
fir kyo na mein dekhu pura hote hue
apna ek aur adhur sapna :)

Sweet Sister!

Dear friends, let me tell you one thing today. This blog is not all about I, me, and myself always! At times I write on behalf of others like some colleague, friend, character of a book/script, or sometime a co-traveler. But you must have observed that I always use ‘I’ ‘My’ ‘Me’ words just because to feel the character in me. So, you, please also read it as it is and feel the character in you. Believe me it’d be more interesting!

Okkk for this particular post, I tell you this is on behalf of my room partner. She is a great fan of her sister and now I am expressing her feelings ;)

My sweet sister!
Yes! she is very sweet
we are almost like twins
same eyes, same smile
but she is actually four years older than me :)


She behaves
as if she is my mentor
yes, she is...but first of all
we are very good friends
She is my teacher...
She is my leader
But hang on...
that doesn’t mean we never quarrel
Of course we do
But often forget at the same moment
At times it lingers on…but who cares?
that’s a fun also :)


We always enjoy together
While reading or playing
Cooking or shopping
With lots of masti and gossipings :)


But we are living apart now
Because she is married
But thank God!
She’s never get away from me
Not in talks…walks…and small-small moments :)


I am still her darling
She takes care of me as usual
This time with lots of questions like
‘Have you had breakfast…lunch…dinner?
Okkk what did you have in dinner?
But why didn’t you have this…?
Come see me this weekend, I will make for you’
Oh! C’mon dids I am not a kid…:)


Of course I am a kid for her
In fact
I always enjoy whenever she takes care of me like this ;)
Sometimes I feel
I am blessed with two mothers
One is my mother
And the other is my mother’s eldest daughter
my sweet sis ;)


Love you dids
Love you very much!

na jane kyo...

एक दिन खुश, बहुत खुश

दूजे दिन उदास

ना जाने क्यों जिंदगी,

 पल-पल लगने लगी कुछ खास

ना किसी से बैर, ना किसी से प्यार

या फिर समझ लो

सभी तो है अपने,

फिर किसी से कैसी तकरार

सच कहे, हमे तो है

अपने सपनो से बहुत प्यार  

जो  मन  करता  है  वो  करते  जायेंगे

हो जाता है तो ठीक

नहीं तो फिर से दम लगाएंगे 

कहते है 

किस्मत का लिखा कौन मिटाए

पर एक बार तो

किस्मत को भी हमसे, 

खेलने में मज़ा तो आये  

एक दिन खुश

दूजे दिन उदास

ना जाने क्यों जिंदगी,

 पल-पल लगने लगी कुछ खास!!!

...because I feel good when I sing!

World Music Day! But I sing everyday...

I sing when I feel good…I sing when I feel bad
I sing when I pray to God…I sing when I do household works
I sing when I feel attracted to somebody...I sing when I tease somebody
I sing in the shower…I sing on the occasions
I sing just by the way yaar!

How Opal Mehta got…a new life?

Monday blues! Getting up early in the morning and coming back to work place, Delhi from home town. However it’s never tiring to come back to Delhi but of course the thought of getting up early in the morning and traveling especially on Monday is always a headache for me. Approximately four hours traveling! Uff! :-(

But this time I was not so tired just because on the way I had a good sleep and read an interesting book for some time. Well, after reaching ISBT Kashmiri Gate, my next step was to take a metro for office. Don’t know why I don’t feel good even with a thought of traveling by metro now-a-days. Actually I know why but tell you later may be some other day ;-) Feeling good or bad, hardly matters, finally I was in Metro. No new thing was there as such.  In other words it can be said that each and every person was new for me there in fact. Well within half-an-hour I reached CGO metro station and now I was on escalators. A good looking guy was also standing there although many people were there. But I noticed only that guy. I liked his facial expressions. I was moving on my way to office but the boy was walking slowly. I was literally looking at him by turning back again and again. And every time I turned back, I gave a smile to myself only you know why because he was damn busy in reading a book ‘How Opal Mehta Got Kissed Got Wild and Got a Life - Kaavya'.

The whole story of Opal Mehta was now on my mind once again. A story all about positive attitude and confidence! But it was good to remind it especially on Monday morning. Anyways after almost ten minutes while I was entering my office, my phone rang. I just picked up the call and  suddenly I noticed the same book named ‘How Opal Mehta…’ again in somebody’s hands who was standing right in front of me and you know what he was the same guy whom I saw in the metro station. Maybe he was waiting for somebody there. But now he was giving me an innocent smile and I was looking at him with a surprise while talking on phone with somebody.

It was strange! Stranger than Opal Mehta’s Story? Wasn’t it? No! it was not! At times it just happens! :-)

Now you’d be surprised what the big deal was in that. Actually I was enjoying seeing him because some days back I read the same book with the same excitement. Bus or Metro, wherever I found space to stand comfortably while traveling I just started reading that book. But he was one step ahead of me. He was reading while walking on the road even. That was amazing! I was wondering which page he is reading and why this particular expression was on his face etc. but yes people around us took me otherwise definitely. ;-) But who cared? I was in my own world at that time. I was feeling so proud because this was the first time when somebody was reading a book which I already read. Well, everybody has his/her own destination. So he moved on his way. And, I was on my way.

Running into myself!

We meet so many people everyday. Some are known to us while countless are strangers. We always exchange words, news, ideas with whom we have a relationship. But believe me, we do have relations with strangers also. For instance in a bus, you travel with around 40 people everyday.

Though they are strangers for you but they are called your co-travelers. If you meet an accident someday then no known one can approach you to help on time but these co-travelers can.

Anyways it all depends on the situation and the types of persons you are with at the moment. My only purpose is to make you realized the importance of your unnoticed relationship with strangers. By the way why I am talking about relationships with known and unknown here :-)

Actually I realized one interesting thing in the evening while returning from the office by my chartered bus today. I was sitting in the first seat and thinking about something, suddenly I saw myself in the rear-view mirror of the bus. I saw myself as a stranger who was reacting exactly the same as I was acting. An image with so many questions in mind and mixed expressions on face. Then suddenly I smiled and got the same smile in return from the very image of mine whom I was looking at. That was a very pleasant as well as a touchy moment. I found myself very pretty. So innocent eyes! And, very beautiful smile! Ah! I ran into myself, the person who was actually the most concerned and sufferer one of all my activities and relationships. It was the person who was exact the same output of all my inputs with no extra toppings. Hey! Why do I always make efforts to build and maintain relationship with others only? Why not with myself? We often have complaints because we expect love, respect, praise, things, money etc. from others but in return we get the stuff according to their calculations only. It can be more or less but the person inside you gives you exactly the same which you give to it. He/she is happy if you are happy. He/she is worried if you are worried. He/she is with you always in any way or in every way, no other one can be; not even your loved one.

Wow! What a relationship it is!

You've to initiate...

I always believe one should be a person of place not the person of the family.  I feel very happy to be a person like that. It gives me a new energy, confidence and last but not least experience in fact.  I think there is no word like ‘boring place’ in the world. It’s you who actually makes the place boring or happening. It’s quite simple! If you really wanna enjoy, you can turn boring into happening. All you need to do is give your hundred percent to the current situation. If people are like you, it’s good for you and if they are not, then it is more good for you actually because it gives you a new experience to explore different kinds of persons. So just enjoy your presence there physically and psychology by being a person of the place. And, believe me everybody is ready to love you, you just have to initiate to love everybody…

Let's see...

I am a witness to what is happening now-a-days. I am playing my part with hundred percent but cannot force anybody to do it with their hundred percent. Yes, I can convince them and that I am doing with a yes mind. Still the results are ambiguous. But it does not mean I am not hopeful of…let the time play its own role… :)

I am not alone!

Thank God! I am not alone!
There is somebody who takes care of me always.
At times it is proved especially when I need it the most.
I am much obliged for it! :)

Who is the best judge?

I am mature
mature enough to understand
that I am a mature gal now :-)

people say me 
'You are getting late'
they just say it; even
they don’t know why they are saying so.
okkk! no issues...
we are a part of the society
so we are answerable to them also;
pretty good!
but what should I say;
when they ask me
‘Are you not getting late?’
I get confused
what should be my answer, now?
yes…
no…
or this question is unanswerable?
I just smile and
say ‘well, it depends…‘

but actually
this question deserves my answer
so I keep thinking…and, then
a mature answer comes out of me
Everybody is his/her best judge!
If they think like this;
then maybe it’s like this in their eyes
no hard feelings…
from ma side
but of course!
some feelings are there;
that’s why I am writing this,
here!
but thank God!
for making me realise that
at least
I am my best judge! :)

I'm the power!

All the power is within me only. I’ve the solution of all my problems. I’m the answer to every question of my life.

If I feel happiness, I am the reason for it. And, if I feel sadness, the reason is also within me. No other person except me is responsible for my happiness or sadness.

I’m blessed with a wonderful life. For this the credit goes to my Maa and Paa. I am really thankful to Almighty God for blessing me such parents. Then brother and sister, they are like cream on the cake. I feel lucky to have such darling siblings. My family expands. I make new relationships although I have already countless relations which are gifted to me from maternal as well as paternal side right from my birth in fact. Some blood relations are so strong that they give impression on your whole life; in my case I feel great love and respect for my granny (dadi maa). Many times, I observe I’ve the same habits which were in her. But life moves on…nobody can live with you forever. I accept the truth so I am moving ahead. Still I am hungry of love. I make new relations; relations of my own choice. It generally happens with everybody. The first rank is of friends. Friends make my life beautiful as well as meaningful. Actually family and friends are complimentary to each other. I can’t live without them. But then I need my soul mate. It’s a wonderful relationship which sometimes becomes our top most priority in life. But it’s often said that couples are made in heaven. So it’s not in our hands to choose our life partner. True! but think how wonderful it would be if we were blessed with our soul-mate of our own choice too. I wish I get my life partner of my own choice! :-)

But in life there are many other things which our intellect demands: Career, Status, Respect and last but not least Money. We strive hard to get all this. Someone achieves something early and other things later while someone takes time to get everything. Everybody has his/her own reason. I am among the person who takes time to achieve their goals. In fact I know the reason very clearly why I am taking time. But yes! It is sure I’ll get my goals one day!

I don’t know why I am thinking like this today. But I am feeling good to write all this.

So byeeeeeeee for now. Good night! Sweet dreams!

With Love
Shveta....................
Keep smiling always :-)

Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai...

This is one of my favourite songs as well as dream song lyrics. So I just copy it and paste it here after doing some little bit editing. The credit goes to its lyricist only. I always enjoy it :)

Jo Bhi Chaahoon Vo Main Paoon
Zindagi Mein Jeet Jaoon
Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai...Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai!

Yaar Tu Bhi Sun Zara, Aarzoo Meri Hai Kya
Main Kya Ban Jaana Chaahti Hoon
Main Kahan Kharaab Hoon, Main To Lajawaab Hoon
Main Ye Manvana Chaahti Hoon
Maan Ja Ay Khuda
Itni Si Hai Dua
Main Ban Jaoon sabka nasha...Main Ban Jaoon sabka nasha
Mere Peechhe Mere Aage
Haath Jode Duniya Bhaage
Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai... Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai!

Shaan Se Rahoon Sada, Mujhpe Log Hon Fida
Dushman Bhi Dil Hon Khote
Dil Ka Ye Kamal Khile, Sone Ka Mahal Mile
Barasne Lage Heerein Moti
Maan Ja Ay Khuda
Itni Si Hai Dua
Ye Dil Jyaada Nahin Maangta...Ye Dil Jyaada Nahin Maangta
Saari Daulat Saari Taakat
Pyaar ki Duniya Par Hukoomat

Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai...Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai!
Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai...

Hats off to life!

Wow! What a great experience it was!

I was stunned! That was truly bizarre! But you know what the most shocking thing was my own expression. I just smiled. Literally I just smiled at the situation. I had no bad feelings for anybody however I was the only sufferer. Didn’t know what would happen in future but I felt a great belief in myself at the moment. Strange but it’s a fact!

Well, one thing comes out very clear out of all this 'Life is a great teacher'. At times it teaches you the lesson which you can’t think even but the very next moment you just experience it lively. All it demands just your reaction. And, then your every activity depends on that only.

Right now I’ve no better words to say except…Hats off to life!

I'll do my best!

I am happy. But don't know how much. I am sad. But don't know why I am so. I tell you one thing more today. I am doing something great now-a-days. Big investment in it. Big risk in it. And, last but not least it demands a big heart to do it. But I will do it!

I will do my best and leave the rest to God...

That can be a reason!

It's a fact that everything around us happens for a reason. Still there are many things in life which just happen. Let’s try to find out the reasons today:-

Smile on your face
Reason: The person who makes you smile loves to see you smile!

Tears in your Eyes
Reason: There is somebody you really care for!

Worries at the start of the day
Reason: To make you realize you are still alive!

Day Dreaming
Reason: You actually wanna turn your dreams into reality!

More Expenditure
Reason: You have the guts to find out more sources of Income!

Messy room after your birthday party
Reason: You have fun-loving friends around you!

Proud Parents
Reason: They've just a habit to be proud of. Hardly matters there is a reason or not!

I am fine. Thank you!
Reason: Your simple answer of a very formal question 'How are you?' !

Text on your mobile
Reason: There is somebody who remembers you right now!

I love you
Reason: I feel good about myself in your presence!




With Lots of LOVE...
Shveta

alone...good...together...better!

Alone you are one; together we are eleven.
Alone you are a force; together we are a movement.
that's being Indians!

Alone you can say only; together we can shout.
Alone you can smile only; together we can laugh.
that's being friends!

Alone you are striving; together we will make it possible.
Alone you are living life; together we will celebrate it to the fullest.
that's being lovers!

Always...forever...

Sweet or sour
happening or shocking
You always give me surprises
always!
It brings a smile on my face
like a child's kite soaring very high
touching the whiter blue sky.
I feel privileged
I deserve to be obliged
as it's proved
You neither overlook me nor my prayer
because You are with me
forever!

All it demands...

Wanna do something different
different in usual;
different with usual.
But people says...
doing usual is better
with low risk and high probability of occurrence.
But I know...
my different will be better than the usual;
smarter than the casual.
What if...
there is elevated risk and small possibility of prevalence.
At least for one thing I am sure
If it occurs…
that would be full of
more enthusiasm and great happiness.
All it demands…
my deep trust and high confidence!

...PREY...

Situations change…attitude change…but the truth remains same!

If you are right and attitude is positive then no matter what the situation is, you will win the game at any cost. This was the moral of the story; I mean the message of the movie ‘Prey’.

At different stage of life different things happen. Sometimes you are prey to somebody; next time you make somebody your prey. This is the fact of life so accept it and live with it. It may be possible you lose your patience when you come to know you have fallen prey to somebody…but… but…but…never give up.

At times disasters happen but never give up. Who knows that happens for your betterment. Bad, worse, or worst, circumstances change definitely; all you need is intention to change it. But never give up. Do what your heart tell you to do but by maintaining a balance with the mind. You are not wrong until your heart tells it to you but friendship with brain has its own importance. Just face the situation whole heartedly and then everybody will accept you and your belief one day.

bye for now...good night!

With lots of love...
Shveta :)

Cujo!

An interesting movie! Nice implied message! And, really scary at least for me!

It’s all about terror. Terrors of being caught by own family, some ill-spirit, and last but not least Cujo, a gigantic dog. I often got scared whenever the ghastly face of Cujo appeared on the screen. Still wanted to watch it {kyonki darr kae aage jeet hai :-) } so finally watched it with the expectation of victory over my fear of dogs!

A very good husband and a cute kid still the wife moved to infidelity until she realized the guilt herself. Fed up with her own stupidity she decided to confess. But husbands are husbands only. They have no such big hearts. But you know what there is nothing bigger than Love, the feeling which makes you learn to forgive the biggest crime even. So love showed its magic there also. Moreover, this was love only, which actually made her realized that she was at fault. And, when this love was for her child, it made her more powerful. Powerful than the crazy and horrible dog! Powerful than the ill-spirits even!

Hats off to this word of four letters 'Love' !

Sometimes you feel that you are weak, you are helpless when you love somebody but actually you are not. You know you do anything for the person you love. You can face any situation just for the sake of him/her. Just try to remember when you feel weak, it's only when the person hurts you. But this is also very much true that when you get the love from the same person then this very much weakness becomes your strength and empowers you in every way!

Ohhh! Shveta! not again...pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Love! Love! Love! Put a stop here nowwwwwwww!

Okkk Good Night...Sweet dreams...

With Love
Shveta :-)

Five Ps !

Don’t remember what he was talking about exactly. But the moment I heard five Ps, I recalled four Ps (Product, Price, Place & Promotion) of Marketing mix responsible for a brand recognition. The thought suddenly made me smile but very soon I realized that was the ultimate answer of our entire ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions from life in the form of 5 Ps.

According to his claim there are five fundamentals of life;

Pyaas (intention)

Prayatan (effort)

Prathna (prayer)

Pratiksha (wait)

& Prasad (result).

And, whatever you get in your life depends on how you understand these basics. In simple meaning, if you really want to get something then there must be Pyaas to get it and the more intense it is, the better it is. Prayatan must be hundred percent from your side, Prathana energises your faith in yourself but you have to wait for the right time to get the Prasad.

Now evaluate this concept with your own live example. You’ll get the answer why some of your dreams have been fulfilled and why for some you are still craving for?

I totally agree with him. Everything depends on us definitely but I would like to add something in the third step means besides our own Prathana (Prayer), sometimes our loved ones’ belief in us strengthens our faith also. Their wishes and blessings contribute to our results, no matter wherever we are, it affects undoubtedly!

Salutation to One Man...Anna Hazare!

Unstoppable billions scams forced One Man to stand;
One Man's stand will force to stop billion scams!

Youth dreams turned into passion to see One Man's determination;
One Man's passion will determine the future of youth dreams!

The whole Nation's thinking compels One Man to take a pledge;
One Man's pledge will now compel the whole Nation to think...

Chak de India!

What brings India together?
Tsunami? Election? Assassination?
No...Never...Not yet...
It's Cricket, Cricket and only Cricket in India.
That's why it's our Incredible India!

Unity in diversity depicts only
when there is Cricket match of Pak vs India
That makes us feel we are one
who cares...
get separate the very next moment!

Either 60 years old or 6 years toddler;
everybody behaves like a Cricket master.
Forget being a politician or an actor;
just be there in the ground like a cheer character!

the real charm to see in the streets;
which you never see in Holi or Id.
Hooting, shouting along with full on music-masti...
singing, dancing all in against our dearest enemy's dosti!

Beer-cheer in bars is now an old fashion;
every house and office, a new address of celebration.
With Cricket, every brand has a connection,
although there is no blood relation!

Cricket in India! Fever of India! Chak de India!

I am thankful for what I have!

Everybody is surprised to see me
ask me
suggest me
what's the matter
when you've everything in your life?
how should I make them understand?
tears are tears,
they also come out from happiness;
not always an outcome of sadness.
what's my fault if
both look same?
the only difference is
tears of happiness flow with a request
to keep the moment as it is
as it knows life is name of changes.
but then
something held my hand and took me to a world
where I tasted happiness with no more requests
the very same tears
but every feeling was full of thanks and gratitude.
Now I feel new with a different attitude
I am thankful for what I have
instead of demanding for what I don't have.
I am greatful for which I am blessed
instead of expecting more greatness.

Instead of...

Say different like Samsung
who said
'Hello Holi' instead of 'Happy Holi'

Do different like Obama
who proved
Intelligence runs fast instead of caste

Play different like Sachin
who made
Cricket Indo-Pak's divine instead of 'Om' or 'Amen'

At times no rivalry between heart and brain!

 Brain has unmatched power but why heart, a little organ wins over brain sometimes? The organ which controls movements, thoughts, memory and even feelings loses the love game of heart so easily. See the little heart which sends only blood around the body is smart enough to make the intellectual brain idle.

Some people show off that their will power is very strong when their heart loses the grip of victory while some call it their sacrifice very smartly. But deep inside they follow their heart because everybody knows that it’s only heart which brings peace and satisfaction in their life. Yes! It’s very much true that brain brings many things in life but only heart knows how to live it to the fullest as brain is not blessed with the power. That’s why sometimes brain becomes a big follower of heart and helps it with some wonderful tips when the heart needs it the most. At the moment, there exists no rivalry between them; the whole body with its conscience enjoys the real happiness.

Feel the pain!

Don't know why I am so?
I feel the pain when I see somebody in pain
doesn't matter whether
it's a real story or scripted one
for a moment or three hours long
while reading, watching or listening
whatever, whichever or wherever it is
everytime
it knocks at my heart.
Don't know why?
Okkk! accepted!
Agreed that I am a human being
so it always happens
but why?
when I know...
People can make fun of it.
People can take advantage of it. And, my dear
People can suffer from it.
Then why I am so
when
I know everything.
Can't I become smarter?
Can't I become stronger? For heaven's sake
Can't I become realistic?
Yes! I can...
I can do anything and everything
because when I know my problems
I also know its solutions
But then
whom I am honest to
Myself?
here I think
It's worth being made a fun of
If I can be a cause to put a smile on some cry baby's face.
It's worth being taken advantage of
If I win somebody's trust in his/her need.
It's worth feeling the pain
If I give somebody a little advice which makes his/her life
If so
then i think there is no harm
If I am so!
I feel the pain if I see somebody in pain.
Let people think what they want to think.
I should not care
because I am
what I am!

Lucky! who?

Liking is good;

Loving is better;

But the best is

adoring and being adored by somebody.

People are lucky

who come under third category!

Because time has changed...

Now no scam is a social stigma and no child is innocent any more.
Every girl has to be Sheela and boy is like Aditya Birla;
walking while talking on mobile nonetheless it's day or night.
Politics has become a game of professional crimes;
nobody knows the address of losers,
but criminals are welcome for the post of winners.

Because time has changed...

Now no son is like father and no girl is like mother any more.
Dream of an IAS's daughter is to run a radio station,
while the son of a teacher wants to be the world famous cricketer.
Corruption or charity actually starts from home,
but children can do what their parents can't even think to do.

Because time has changed...

Now no man is a common man and no movie is a play any more.
Performances are based on real life stories,
which are actually inspired from reel life fantasies.
Who learns from whom? nobody knows,
but everybody is second to nobody that's the real cause.

Because time has changed...

It's worth doing!

Bunking college to watch a movie
Flattering best friend before his girl-friend
In every weekend, getting late on date
It's worth telling a lie because something in life has its own delight.

Kissing a sleeping cute baby
Reading somebody's personal diary
In public, exchanging glances with beloved
It's worth stealing because something in life has its own delight.

Looking at someone special's photographs
Dabbing tears in happy moments
In need, helping near and dear ones
It's worth doing it silently because something in life has its own delight.

No one is a common man!

Three days back I had a great experience. For the first time in my life, I felt that there is no term like common man. I mean no one is actually a common man; we all are very special in ourselves. All of us have our own some individual attributes which are unmatched. No one can compare anybody. It's a myth that only the best person wins in contests/competitions or exams. But tell me who decides who the best is?

I was surprised to see how everybody was so different in thinking with each other even though the topic was same. Everyone did his/her best job but judges also had their own definitions of good, better and best. So in their eyes, only one was the winner. But actually winner is not the person, who stands first only, but he is who feels that yes, this time I've done better than before. I think it depends on us how we evaluate us a winner before accepting the others' decision.

Yes! Believe it or not but it's very much that our competition is not with others in real. Who knows what destiny is? Nobody else except us. Only we know where we have to go. Earlier I used to think, whether I was better or worse than others. I used to do futile efforts to win over others. As a result I often got frustrated or sentimental or happy sometimes. But now my perspective is different although the things are same. May be this was the only reason why I felt like a winner the other day without even participating the contest. And, you won't believe how amazing it was to feel the feeling.

Let me die

 {on behalf of Aruna in context with Ehuthanasia/mercy killing}

Let me die with dignity

because

I also have a right to live happily.

What if

my life can’t give any happiness to you?

but at least

my death can relieve me from all my worries…

You all know

it hardly matters to you if I am alive…

but at least

my death matters as it will become a law for you.

Let me die happily

because

I also have a right to live with dignity!

Let's do...

Let's do something different...
why always falling in love?
I prefer to rise in love rather.


Let's try something unusual...
why expecting and crying in love?
I prefer to smile every time rather.


Let's explore something extraordinary...
why blame luck in love?
I prefer to listen to heart rather.

except when...

No boy is ill-behaved when he teases a woman
except when he stops respecting women.

No girl remains unattractive when she loves truly
except when she starts taking love for granted.

No person looks bad when he/she smiles
except when he/she makes fun of somebody.

I, my, me !!!

Me and my goodness
along with my badness
live in one house
together.

Each of us do good alone;
but bear extreme of bad together.
Scale of goodness of each is sepearate;
but stand against badness together.

Me and my badness
along with my madness
live in one house
together.

Badness-tolerance level of each is divided;
but swallow height of rmadness together.
Each has its own issue to fight with badness;
but always win with madness together.

Me and my madness
along with my goodness
live in one house
together.

It's time to be selfish!

It's time to be selfish now. Forget about respect, love, sacrifice and devotion. I am sorry, for the time being there is no place for all these so called essentials of life.

Once in a life you've to opt for selfishness to be happy and to make others happy as well. I am not kidding. It's a hard fact. It gives you relief. It makes your vision clear. And, the most important is it strengthens you to respect, love and sacrifice again in the long way :) I know you are you after all and you can't be changed. It's your nature.

But it's always better to recharge yourself on times. So for heaven's sake at least be selfish now!

A visit to Radio Station

Last week got a chance to visit a Radio Station. Though it was pre-planned with my two friends still I would call it a chance because with me everything just happens. Nothing happens with a plan. Sometimes my plans also wait to be happened. Isn't it funny? Yes, it is! Well, it was Dhamal Radio Station of Karnal city which was situated in Sector 6 market. I had to catch the bus for Delhi in the morning so I had reached the radio station before the morning show started. But I saw almost each and everything there like music scheduling , listing and processing of programmes which were going to be broadcast. A recorded show was already on air at that time. So I tried to understand it but as it was not a live show so I could not ask much.

Besides, I met the Radio Jockey who was going to present the morning first show. In fact both my friends were very much part of it. So at least I was not so crazy to see the radio guys as a lay man was generally. Ha ha ha. Overall it was a very good experience for me. I enjoyed it very much.

Now let me introduce my friends without the help of whom it was not possible for me to visit the radio station so easily. One of them is a music scheduler and other is RJ there. Both are just perfect in their job profiles. Whenever I ask anything about radio activities of some special occasion they make me understand very clearly. I am lucky to have such friends. :) :) :)

Slave of words!

We spread rumours for others...
...sometimes...
we become the rumours spread by others;

This is nothing...
...simply called...
being a slave of our own as well as others' words;

It gives everything...
...except...
peace, harmony, and the real happiness;

So let's all break the shackles of slavery...
...and...
be masters of our mouths!

things happen...

So many things happen in our lives...
some go unnoticed, some affect the things that are going to happen;

some make us breathless, some keep them running;
some are terribly funny, some are so healing that make us cry;

some make us special and some are just to let them be
So many things happen in our lives...

some people...

Everybody is running for bread and butter
Still some people feel happy by keeping fasts;

Everybody is in the race to earn name and fame
Still some people feel happy by hiding their identity;

Everybody wants to love and to be loved truly
Still some people feel happy by ignoring love deliberately...

No one is perfect!

Everything seems good when we look at its positive side. It all becomes terrible when we look at its negative side only. Actually there is nothing bad in this world. It depends on how you see it. It is in your own hand to like or dislike something. Eg. Sometimes you love somebody but you don't like his/her some habits and just because of those habits if your realtionship is suffering then here is one suggestion. Just start looking at his/her those habits which you admire a lot. Gradually you will start ignoring those irritating habits and you'll accept the person the way he/she is actually. And, it will improve your realtionship automatically :)

Actually no one is perfect in this world. Neither you nor I. We should give space to our loved ones also. They have thier own life. Let them live their life in their own style. I think you'd be happy if your loved ones were happy. Wouldn't you?

Laugh often

 I always prefer

happiness

whether

mood is off or on.

My own tears teach me

how to

laugh often!

Is this the greatest love?

Attended a cousin's wedding party some days back. Enjoyed family get-together very much. It was a merger of Punjabi and Gujrati family so I found it very interesting. In fact I was feeling proud to be there as this was a celebration of committed love. But deep inside there was a thought in my head which was demanding some explaination. It was 'How come the love of your beloved dominates all your near and dear ones' love?' I mean love is love whether it is for your mother, father, brother, sister, friend, teaher or relative. Everybody has his/her own place in your life. But why your enitre life is changed when suddenly a boy/girl comes in your life and you just do everything for the sake of his/her love. You convince your parents, siblings, relatives and adjust sometimes compromise so many things just to bring him/her in your life. What's that? Is this the greatest love?

Well, I didn't take so much time to find my answer as this is simply called 'Falling in Love' means you love many people in life but you fall in love with only one and that becomes your someone special. And, then you just do everything for your someone special. :-) :-) :-)

And, no it is not the greatest love becasue love is love. And, Love cannot be measured; it can only be felt and experienced.

Law of Garbage Truck

Read a newspaper article today. Liked it very much. Now I would like to share it with you. Here it is;

Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the air port. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.

My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other cars by just inches. The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And, I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, Law of Garbage Truck.

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump on you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right and pray for the ones who don’t.

Life is 10 per cent what you make it and 90 per cent how you take it! Have a blessed garbage free day!

sometimes...

sometimes...

a flight of birds gives you happiness

sometimes...

you just smile when you look at stars

sometimes...

a ray of sun compels you to think off limit

sometimes...

you just feel lost when somebody tells you

how much he/she loves you

sometimes...

a mere picture of a buddy makes you smile

sometimes...

you just feel good even when you are alone

sometimes...

All the best!!!

I think I am in love with life...once again...books, movies, ads, news papers, poems, face book, blogs, fashion, beauty, colours, clothes, make-up, food, travelling, shopping, music, dance, morning walks, games, sports, mobile, cars and last but not least people.

Wish you all the best, Shveta!

It's high time!

If you stay in your comfort zone, you will achieve ho-hum success. So come out from it, buddy. Give pain to yourself. No pains, no gains. Wanna achieve something different? Be different. Do different. Only then you will have something different. It's already high time. Don't delay now. What if the situations are not in favour of you, you should always keep your chin up. You just keep on working then you'll derive delight in your passion. The day will come soon when the whole world will be yours fan. But, yes, first be a fan of yourself.

HAve PAtience!

Have patience, buddy! Have patience! This is the only way to achieve your goals. Do value your emotions but don't work by being emotional. Sometimes, some things need some more time to be sorted out. So let them take their own time. You just keep on working for your goals. Don't get excited easliy as you get excited, you will be frustrated easily. So it's always good to work with excitement but never do work by being excited. Here, please take me literally. I mean it.

Let them say...

People always say something or the other. They have their own experiences. So they say according to that only. It doesn't mean that what happened to them that will also happen to everybody in the same manner. Everybody has his/her own destiny. So don't worry. People always keep saying. You should concentrate only on your work. Be calm and placid. Have faith in yourself. After all, it's your life, buddy, keep enjoying your belief. Let them keep saying. One day, they will be surprised on your achievement. And, that will happen surely.

Your mere presence

Your mere presence reminds me of many possiblities...

like having faith when everything against you

like keep believing when no one believes you

Your mere presence reminds me of so many possibilities...

like listening to the heart when mind doesn't support you

like start loving yourself when no rose is with you

Your mere presence reminds me of so many possiblities...

like looking at the positive part when everything is in negative of you

like always feeling good even when no good thing is in front of you

Your mere presence reminds me of many possibilites...

Bas ek dharm...

Jisee khuda se ishq hai
usse ishq se ishq hai
ye mein nahi kahta
mujhse mera ishq ye kahta

na mein hindu
na mein musalman
mera bas ek dharm
aur, ek imaan...

mera ishq, mera khuda...
mera khuda, mere dil, meri dua...

I thank you!

I thank you
for being there with me always!
you were there,
you are there,
and, I'm sure you'll be there
whenever I feel blue
thank you
O my God!
thank you so much
and,
when I say 'so much'
I mean 'so much'
I love you
love you so much!

An adventurous journey to home!

Suddenly planned a programme to go home this weekend. Quite exciting becasue this time I took new route but didn't know soon this excitement would turn into adventure. Met many strangers, talked to them and felt good in fact. But, actually adventure started when I was 24 Km. far away from Jind, my home town. Some protesters blocked the way to show their anger to the Government. They were not allowing any bus/vehicle to go towards Jind. Route was blocked from all four sides of Jind. Our driver acted smartly. He reversed the car on the unused track rather than waiting in the queue. For around three hours we roamed here and there. Then we realised that we had lost our way. But, troubles were still in the queue. Our car suddenly stuck in the slush. We were not able to anticipate where we were exactly. It was dark there. No single light was there except our car headlights and mobile battery. But we didn't lose our hope. We kept trying and after half an hour we were again on the unknown track. By the grace of God, we saw railway tracks. Now we were following railway tracks and as a consequence we had reached on the highway at last. You won't believe we were just 3 Km. away from Jind city when we lost our way. We heaved a sigh of relief after almost five hours.

Really adventurous this journey was!

But, honestly speaking I enjoyed it very much.
