Random Thoughts

Random things running in my mind,
I want to take a leap from my nest,
and do varied activities...

Lets wake up,
to the sound of chirping birds,
or the songs being played in the radio.

Lets dance,
may be tango or salsa,
or even free style would do.
Just want to shake my legs.

Lets sing,
may be classical or jazz,
or even some rock.
Just want the birds to join me.

Lets paint,
a building or a lady
or even the sky.
Just in case if that's my limit.

Lets share the happiness,
with one who doesn't have smile
or is about to cry.
Just give the person a smile.

Random things still running in my mind
I have already taken the leap
now its time for me to fly!!!

Relation without a Tag

I cant name the relation we share,
but I know how much we care.
It has not been long we have each other,
but now we are so addicted to the other
Our relation? How should I explain it to you?
Its just YOU, ME & TRUST!
It counts on the time we spend,
works on the love we share,
grows everyday, every second to something indescribable.
I cant name the relation we share,
but its YOU& ME forever!!!

-dedicated to all my best friend.....I really cant figure what relation I share with them!!

My Hero

A daughter is her father's angel.

She gives him the joy of innocence.

and you have two angels,

What could have been more fun.

For a daughter, father is the only guy 

with whom she feels protected.

We know you are gonna be there

and hold our hands when we fall

just like you did when we were kids.

I dont know what exactly you feel

when you see us growing ladies.

(we have learnt a few things from you)

If you feel scared, then dont be, we'll find the right path.

If you feel happy, then be more happy, we love that smile of yours.

If you are proud, then we are overjoyed.

We are glad to have you as our father,  our hero...

happy father's day....

Just Realized!!

As I turn 17, it just stuck me that i have grown a lot. Next  year I'll be 18 (well that was obvious) and I'll be an adult. I would be starting with my graduation. My 14 years of schooling would be over and so I would no longer have a school uniform.

When I see the photos where I m so tiny that I can fit into my parent's arms, I'm awed.

I've gone from a newborn princess cradled in their arms to a grown up princess experiencing the joy and independence that life can bring.

Just the feeling of being grown so much brings very distinct feelings. I m happy then I'll get to be on my own but at the same time I m scared of it and of the responsibilities that will be added. I m sad that I'll no more be a kid, I can't ask for things right way but I'll have to earn them.

From next year I'll have big decision to make: what career i have to choose which I'll be doing for the rest of my life. From there the real world would start where I'll have to struggle and find my own way. May be with course of time I change myself altogether or may be I'll be myself and change the world around me.

But at the end, I know no matter how old I grow I'll always be my mother's little doll and my father's princess.

 HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

The Addiction!!!!

Social networking sites like MySpace, Friendster, and Face book have literally exploded in popularity in just a few short years.

Since the time Mark Zuckerberg started with “Face book”, world has taken a 360^o complete turn. Its just not the young generation who is awed by the technology but the parents and grandparents have also joined these social networking sites to be in contact with their kids or grand kids.

These social networking sites used to be a way to find long lost friends and to be in touch with the relatives who live far off. But in today’s superficial world being a part of social networking sites no more acts like a connecting medium but is a status symbol for all.

The addiction to social networking sites is surely posing a threat to real relationships.

Technology has shrunk the world but the gap between the relations has increased. People today are busy being artificial in front of their online friends than being real in front of their family. A 16 yr old is not willing to have dinner with his family as he is chatting online with a friend he has not met in ages. And even if he has joined them for dinner he is busy clicking buttons on his mobile checking his notifications or chatting on face book. The children now-a-days are busy clicking photos for profile pictures, setting locations and updating statuses while on a family outing. The parents have an antagonistic approach towards this behavior of their children.

Clearly the young generation is addicted. And what used to be “PSP breaks” are now “social media breaks”. There are now less conversations between family members and more status sharing between online friends. But a very few people realize their mistake of neglecting their families soon enough correct themselves.  

Its all on the individual now, if he/she wants to be with his family or his online friends. Ones family would always be there no matter how good or bad a situation is but your friends specially the online ones cannot guaranteed for the same.....

Different Strangers..

Isn’t it so good to have a friend, who was a stranger to you earlier?

A stranger, you never thought would be your best friend. You just meet that person, and bang on. There is a click between you both. If you really feel lonely and that time you get to share your feelings with someone like stranger. That person becomes important to you.

A stranger first becomes a friend then the most important part of your life. This is a FRIENDLY STRANGER.

But have you ever encountered with a situation where your best friend becomes a complete stranger to you. I have, and it feels horrible. The person you knew since last so many years or just a few and held an importance in your life is now nothing to you. Once you just loved talking to that person and now you don’t even want to ask a question too. Even if that question is regarding your work, your benefit. These according to me are KNOWN STRANGERS.

Ever been in a relationship, a relationship where both the girl and the boy love each other. But something goes wrong. All the promises, all the swears are broken. Those moments you both shared are tend to be forgotten. They can’t be friends as they hurt each other. They can’t be enemy as they love each other. They are FAMILIAR STRANGERS.

But think of it, all these strangers teach us something. friendship, love and concern. They teach us to move on, life is moving and we don’t have to stop if we lose someone. So if you lose someone and you miss that person, you may cry. It’s ok to cry. But when you cry for that person make sure you have cried it all and you’ll not cry again. As you are precious for someone may be just a stranger you haven’t recognized.

The past may be the past but that won’t change the fact that u r no longer in contact with that person. You don’t need to forgive that person but need to forget that person.

So forget the past, clear you eyes and look around. May be you’ll find a stranger just around the corner…

Sisterhood

People who don’t have sisters have no clue about what’s involved. They would never understand the crazy love behind the disastrous arguments between us after which we turn around and laugh our heads off. We have dreamed of all the fun things to do together and even some which we aren’t supposed to do. The strong bond is because of those troubles we have given each other and that we have lived through it together. When I look back on our times at home she is such an important part of my memories. She has already given me a year’s glimpse of life without her and so I already have an idea about what my life would have been like without her. 

I still remember the first time I took her in my hands. I don’t remember the moment clearly but when I look at photographs taken of that December new year night I feel more grown up and protective towards my little darling. She is just 3 years younger to me and can now very well take care of her self and of people around her but for me she‘ll always be that little kid who needs a finger’s support to walk.

We’ve pushed each other’s buttons and vented out each other's feelings and emotions. We’ve laughed and shared and been the special best friends. We have stood for each other as well as against each other at times. But these are just few reasons we know each other so well now.I would always cherish the days and nights I have spent with her once I get busy with my graduation and career.

At times when we get scolded by our parents we rush to our room and start sharing our thoughts. And next moment we forget about everything and start playing; pushing each other off the bed, tickle each other till the other gives up. I have always tried to protect her as much as I could and I find she is more open to me now as compared to 1 year back when she didn’t go to hostel (just for an experience).

I would never be able to understand her. She is a very energetic girl as compared to others of her age yet she sits patiently to play almost all the mind games. We are like two poles of magnet. She is a bit conservative when it comes to wardrobe selection whereas I wear what I feel like which may be mini shorts as well. I mix around with new people in one go whereas she takes time. She is more of a homely person; she’ll do all the chores of the house. But I like to go to markets and would bring all the things our mum would have listed from the grocery.

People who don’t have sister have no way of comprehending the love that permanently connects our hearts, because a sister is one of life’s unique experiences and I wouldn’t trade what we share for anything…..

Change and the world changes

"Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation"
- By Robert F. Kennedy

Change, what does change means?
If we look into the dictionary, Change is the process of altering; a substitution; a transformation; to make or become different; to exchange; to transform.

If one thinks negatively, he would also see the world negatively. He won't notice the few things which makes others happy. The coming of spring season...a new born baby...a newly married couple. He would rather think of negative things behind it like going of one season...the problems with the future of new born baby....or the bride leaving her own family. This person would also spread negativity around him. But if one thinks positively he would have a different and positive way of seeing the world. He would find happiness in anything and everything around him, may it be butterflies or some elderly people in the park. He would think of the spring season coming and the living spirit of the elderly people. He would spread positivity around him. It all depends on the way you tend to see your life and the world. One should never compare his life with others, as he has got no idea what others journey is all about.  One should always see the situation from all sides rather than just thinking about the negative part. A person with many problems in his life would call his life "a problem", but a person who is thinking positively would rather say "life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced". He would learn from his mistakes.

"Everything changes continually. What history is indeed but a record of change. And if there had been a few changes in the past, there would have been little history to write"
- By Jawaharlal Nehru

If Mahatma Gandhi would not have thought positively and would not have taken any step against the Britishers we would still have been ruled by them. Even after so many failures he did not step back and he was keen on getting India its independence.He pursued all the Indians to dream about the golden bird he was dreaming when he took all those steady steps.

Whatever big we see, was started first as a small thing which later grew up into a big thing because of the care and attention given to it. Before we build up a relationship or try to bring out any changes outside us, first we have to do is to have a proper understanding of ourselves. Observing our self in close proximity will point out our deficiency or our strength. When we work out on our deficiency and built up on our strength we start gaining confidence on ourselves. When we gain confidence on ourselves our words, walk, talk,behavior etc all changes and gives a positive look. Now this positive look will start changing the whole relationship slowly, from better to best and we will start shining like a diamond which shines brightly when polished. Our way of looking at things or situations or surroundings we are in, also changes completely.
The most effective approach to bring out lasting change in the world around is to dream big, believe in yourself and your dream. Dreams are the true interpretation of our inclinations but its on us how we sort and understand them. If we want to change the society, the first step should be to change our selves. Without individual transformation societal transformation is impossible.
If one changes his perception towards something and has a positive thought, the world changes for him. Its a better place to live in, to learn from our mistakes and to make others happy.

Safe Hands

From the day I was born,

I was in safe hands,a safe one as I knew.

You were there for me when I laughed,

when I cried,when i fell.

I knew I was in safe hands.

whenever I feel my life is complicated,

you make it back to normal,an easy going to life.

Here I knew I was in safe hands.

Remember the first day when you took me in your hands,

your smile was enough for me to know that I am in safe hands..

And its your hands the most safe for me.

And I know you will always be there for me when I am finding for a safe hands.

Lost Love

Years have sped by, time has flown

to forget you-that is what i had sworn;

to wipe off your memeories from my heart

to live on, knowing that we are poles apart.

But often on silent, lonely nights,

when the moon is shining bright;

your thoughts come stealithily to my mind

and prod other memeorie left far behind.

Of times we had, both good and bad

of tears we shared and fun we had!

but what went wrong, i have no clue

but as long as i lasted, i know it was true.

You have touched my life in many ways,

i try explaining but i just cannot say.

but you have moved on and so must I;

must accept the truth, though with a sigh.

Time heals all wounds, but not this one

the scar remain, the harm is done

memories to be treasured, or they say

that's why you remain in my heart to this very day.

The Time

There are moments we regret,
There are moments we cherish.
But at times things go wrong,
and we hae to just let go,
Be who we are,
accept the truth...

Those moments will always be special,
but YOU are more special to them.
Be happy,
pamper yourself.
Just let it go,
let it not ruin your present...

Those moments had to be there,
for you to learn something.
But its time you start
feeling happy for yourself.
Just let it go,
let it not ruin YOU...

I Wish...

We might be apart

We might not talk as well 

We might have forgotten each other

But when we are alone

Our heart says to the other

"You made me alone

Won’t you come back?"

I want to tell you

How much I love you

But there is no point

When there is no one to hear me now

It’s difficult to face each other

But still want to say that

My heart still beats for you

I wish you could hear me

I wish you could understand me

I wish you could…be with me forever

SpEcIaL bOnDs ThAt CaN nEvEr Be BrOkEn

Every person must have given a thought about the kind of person with whom they can share everything in life from the most special moment to the most embarrassing one.

You must have already found that one person with whom you are just yourself. For instance when you are feeling low but are with people around and you have to put on a fake smile for them, that one confident can just see the sadness in your eyes.
When at some odd time of night you wake up with something in your mind and want to share it with someone, that friend might be the first to come to your mind with whom you want to share your thoughts. And you won’t really hesitate to call him/her at that time of night. Some of you might have gone through a hard time in life and only person whom you can rely on is just that one person whom you trust more than yourself. That person knows you well that you don’t even have to tell them how you feeling coz they already know and they understand. Just one look of yours and that person knows what you really want to say. That person gives you a hand in your stupid ideas not coz they like those ideas but coz they enjoy your company. Even the silent moments between you both is enjoyed.
Something really small may be a pen, a walnut, a TV character or anything is special for you coz that thing reminds you of that person. Those things might bring back a memory for you to smile and believe me that smile of yours is so precious for that person. Those things might be small for others but they are so special for you both that others cant even imagine.
Sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really cant find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. May be you will find it in your spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding. But there’s also a chance that the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who has been standing beside you all along…….

Mr.Perfect

Whenever I hear my female colleagues complaining me about how different their boyfriends are from them, I find it weird. Weird, coz whats more fun than spending your whole life with a totally opposite person. I would not like to go on a date with someone who is exactly like me, who has the same taste as mine.I have obviously known myself since the time I got into my senses so I would love to spend my life who has different view of life, who doesn't have the same nature as mine. But yes we should have an understanding of our differences...
As this is that time of the year when "love is in the air"....I have decided to write something about my most favorite couples...
They can talk for hours but prefer hard core debates over sweet nothings.He loves action films which she finds fake. She loves a proper diet and her hearts melts over the non veg dishes. He is a pure vegetarian and his heart melts with the melted cheese on the pizzas. She prefers reading novels for hours and he prefers spending time with his friends.
Whenever they both fight he jokes around whereas she wants a simple nice conversation to put an end to the fight which irates her even more. He is so practical towards life that it sometimes gets on her nerves. She loves to get pampered and he hates those guys who pamper their girlfriends. She is a very deep thinker whereas he let it go in the flow of life.
She likes to keep things simple and sweet whereas he complexes it more.They are two opposite ends of a magnet and yet they are so into each other.
I would seriously love to have a guy like that in my life as I m exactly the kind of girl I have described. But I wont go on finding for him coz I know love would hit my door when I would least expect it..
And right now I don't wish to be with anyone even if that person is as wonderful as my mr.perfect. So this valentines I'll just pamper myself by may be reading my novel or making a big plate of salad for lunch...

The Wedding..

Its my wedding day. I am wearing a perfect white gown. My hair is open with flowers over my right ears. Before i walk out of my room for the last time i see myself in the mirror. As i walk through the corridor i m remembering my childhood, i used run all over the house just to escape my mum and the oil she wanted to put on my hair. I used to play hide n seek with my dad and brother, i always used to hide under the bed. At night i used to hold my brother tightly as i was scared of "monsters" waiting for me under the bed. He used get so irritated when i used to wake him up from his soundless sleep just to give me a company till the door of the washrrom and wait for me till i m done . I m passing by the kitchen imagining my mom baking chocolate cookies for us and how we both used to steal the cookies straight from the oven. I run my hand over the couch where my dad used to sit with the newspaper in his hand and read the news for me and my brother.
Now i have reached the back lawn of my house. Its all covered with white draps and white flowers. My dad is waiting for me at the starting of the aisle. I hold my dads hand as i begin to walk through the aisle, i look at my family. My mom who has moist eyes, then my dad who is proudly makig our way towards my fiance. As we reached his side, there are gasps of joy and everyone spontaneously begin to clap. The Father begun the ceremony in the traditional way he read a passage from the bible.

"Love is always patient and kind.It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or concieted. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes."
My brother comes to me and kisses my forehead, he looks at my fiance and says "keep my sister happy and protect her the way i did....and if she cries because of you then just wait and watch". I realised now i have two families to take care of. I have a new family where i have to adjust according to their culture.

I have always looked forward to this day but.......i have tears leaving this family and a smile getting a new family...

A Child Within You!!

As I stand outside the principal's office, I see my classmates staring at me and going in the class for the science lecture. I m Darshan, VII grade student and I m nervously standing here waiting for Mr. Bhatt, our principal to call me inside. I see students passing by me, laughing and giggling. I hear them talking about me and discussing about what happened near the canteen.  Now let me take you back to the incident for which I'm here. It was recess time, almost the whole school was at the canteen. Me and my best friends, Jai and Karan also went there. Karan had brought a few crackers to school and he took them out of his pocket as soon as we saw no teacher around. We three had a bet for rs.100 for who will lit the cracker, and put them in the dustbin for the fireworks show. I went forward and quickly lit the crackers. I was just going to put them inside the dustbin when I felt a hand on my shoulder . As I saw our games teacher over my shoulder, I felt numb. He had a furious face. On seeing him, Jai and Karan fled away from the scene. He started scolding me and started asking me for who else except me was involved in this prank. For the sake of our friendship, I didn't take their names. I just kept saying 'sorry'. He ordered me to report the principal immediately.
Now finally I m entering the office and my heart is pounding with fear. The principal is busy on his laptop. For the first few minutes I stand quietly there and count the number of awards our school has won.  Then I started noticing our very own principal getting tensed about something. The next moment I hear him saying “Now I tired of trying to decode this game, I cant get the hands correct on this game.”......I hesitated for a few seconds and then I asked “May I help you with the game sir?”.           
Sir replied “My son has challenged me to score higher than him, and I'm not able to complete even the first level”.
“May I have a look, sir” I slowly start walking towards the principal’s side.
As I had a look at the laptop screen, I noticed my favorite game and that had put a small smile across my face. I started playing the game and also explained sir some tricks to win levels by levels. He asked me to go to my room and continue with my classes. And he got busy with game. I quietly stepped out of the room and closed the door of his office behind me.

I Want It All Back

A promise, a swear

A relationship we shared

I had something to call mine

I had the right to the happiness you gave me

I didn’t want anything else, as I had u by my side

A promise u did to me to be with me forever.

My smile, my happiness

When u were near

I want all this back

I couldn’t spend one single day without you

And now here I m trying to spend my entire life alone

You said you love me but you liked her

I want you to take your words back.

You really didn’t mean that when you said all that, right?

When I realized I really love you, I had already lost u.

Its hard for me to forget those moments.

But it was easier for you to leave me alone.

I had given my heart to you…

I want it back…..

A promise, a swear

A relationship we shared

I had something to call mine

Just last question to you my dear

Why not me?

We were meant to be together forever

The moments we shared

I miss those times

I miss that love

I want it all back…..

Once Again

It’s you and me once again,

Buts it’s not the same anymore.

It’s you and me once again,

Hear my heart and I’ll read your eyes.

I miss those laughs we used to share.

I miss that smile of yours when you used to stare.

I miss that touch of yours, when we used to walk together.

I still remember the last time we met,

I had tears in my eyes you asked me what’s wrong, I said nothing.

But when you turned away

I said to myself EVERYTHING IS.

It’s you and me once again

Buts it’s not the same anymore

I didn’t say good bye coz I wanted to try harder.

I didn’t say sorry coz it wasn’t my mistake.

I didn’t leave you coz I couldn’t see us apart.

It’s you and me once again

Buts it’s not the same anymore

Modern Day Relatonships

this is all about the modern day relationships....
When you get into a relationship with someone you love, you tend to get tied up with responsibilities towards the other person.
In today's world people get into relationships and break up within months when they get bored of hanging around with one person. Every individual loves his/her freedom but looses it after getting into a relationship. A girl has to take permision from her parents as well as her boyfriend when she plans out with her friends. Later the girl is asked by her boyfriend to forget all her male-friends and visa-versa. Why cannot one trust the other that if your partner is meeting opposite gender's friends, he/she wont cheat on you. I do agree now a days there are many individuals who take advantage of the TRUST but just give a chance to the ones you love so at the end of the day if something goes wrong, you'll know that it was not your fault.
After a tiring day at school or office we just want to give ourselves some time but in 'YOUR' time, how does the other pushes himself/herself on his/her own into this time period.
The girls are understanding but less on patience whereas the guy is more patient and less understanding. I m sorry if i just hurt some's feelings but this goes for 80% of the population.
At times the guy wants you to plan outings with him rather than with your other friends. Even if you are going out with your friends, he would drop you at the venue and pick you up from there. At times its a good way to spend some time with your partner but its just fun for the initial few months and not in later months as it becomes a necessity for both of them. The girl everytime asks her boyfriend to pick her up and the boyfriend has to do it because of the responsibility he feels towards his girlfriend. I dont understand isn't the girl individual and independent enough to travel alone. would the guy be there her whole life as her chauffeur?
Why does one has to give expensive gifts every month by saving his/her pocket money penny by penny, trust me there is much more fun in the small moments you share with your partner. Why does one has to go to a four or five star restuarant once every month, rather why not go to the juice corner or the snack stall, its much more pocket friendly and you get to spend the quality time too.
There also comes a moment when one gets busy with life and doesn't have time to contact anyone. But if you are in a relationship it becomes impossible to make your partner understand your position until and unless the person is ready to listen to you. Your partner cries in front of you and fights with you because of your crazy time management. I dont understand why one doesn't get it that the other person is just busy to call you and woud contact you as and when he/she gets time. Just give the other person some time to settle things out.
Being best friends more than couples is the best thing. You can talk to the other person so frankly because you dont have to worry about how the other person might feel. And the second thing is best friend knows you very well, he/she knows what you are and loves you for that. But being in relationship with your best friend can be bad sometimes because if something goes wrong in your relationship you might loose your best friend too.
At the end i want all of you to learn something.....
Be independent enough to take your own decisons and not seek for permissions from your partner for every little things. Learn to handle your life the way you want, not how your partner wants you to. Learn all the good things from your partner and give away the bad habits. And last but not the least change your perception towards life for the good so that even if at the end something goes wrong between you and your partner, you take it in a good way and not act like pathetic people whose life stops coz of just one person....And this way it also wont hurt that much...
