The Angels upon my Earth.. Part II

So.. I finally met her & had a good time. I always have.
Now, it's time to open your eyes to one of the most important people in my life. He's my bestest friend, guide, philosopher, support... He's like another sibling to me....
My college life became much more fun with him being around & the best thing is that his Bithday is round the corner!! So this post goes out to him!! Thanks or being there for me, Forever!!

The Angels upon my Earth

Its been a very long time since i wrote about anything! I'm feeling so left behind.. :)
Everyone's blogs look very updated & sweet..
Well, I was very worked up recently (in reference to my blog titled "Phew") & finally that month got over!! I feel quite relaxed at mind now!!

One of my favourite people in the world would be visiting India soon. She used to be my High school teacher but was extremely friendly! We kept in touch with each other ever since & now she's married with two kids & I'm still a fresher at work, right out of college. We have not much in common to discuss about. Her topics include Kids & university (she's studying Law) and mine include new work-place & clothes& all wierd stuff, but still we can't really stop talking around each other..

There should always be someone in one's life who always makes you smile. You might not talk to each other daily but whenever you do, you still feel connected in the same way when you last talked.

I have a list of such people & one of them is she. I would love to blog about all my other angels too, & now that I've written about one, I'll mention all the others in my upcoming posts :)
Watch out for the next posts!!

If I write forever..

I really have a fear in my mind. It's been bothering me. I write since I was 10 I guess. Written dozens of poems, stories, articles. My babies! :) All about the heart, the emotions. Haven't shared with more than 5 people in total (as I mentioned before). I really don't know how & why I have posted my last two poems on my Blog!! They are my most priced possessions ever..
Say I write forever, till my last breath. Who will take care of them? They might be a mere piece of paper for everyone, but my pen keeps me going. It's like when I compose a few words, I re-connect with my inner self. Some people find it a burden to pen down what they feel. But all I can say is that my pen makes me a stronger person every time I use it!

Shopping Therapy!!

The new season is here... Almost winters. And I need some real Shopping therapy. I really do not know what is it with women & shopping, but all i know is it works as a therapy for me at least! It might be the tiniest of jewelery piece or the heaviest cardigan of the shop, buying new things & having full fledged possession of them makes me REALLY excited!! Just brought some really nice neck pieces yesterday, and I want more of them!! Happy Shopping to all of you!

One Letter Pride!

When the dusk of your journey comes,
And your wisdom makes you know a lot of things,
No money will go along, you know,
No best friends will accompany you to the skies,
A treasure held in a paper,
In which someone confessed you his curiosities,
Curiosity to know you a bit more,
Curiosity to share his feelings a bit more,
When curiosities are turned to simplifications,
When confessions are replied with equal gratifications,
This piece of paper held under you death pillow,
Makes your journey's dusk so very bright,
Because you know THIS will go with you to the skies,
And this treasure will become your ONE LETTER PRIDE!

A New Day!!!

Keeping my Spirits high.. This post is for a new day to begin with a fresh breath of excitement in the air!! I feel Happy today! :)

A pair of Honest Eyes

Life goes on..
So do a lot of people in one's life..

What makes you think when you look back at your own journey..
Is not an expensive gift by an artificial friend..
Is not a box of make-up that made you happy when you bought it..
Is not a hefty salary that keeps coming & going..
Is not an exciting dive in the skies..
But a pair of Honest eyes..

P.S. This post was not supposed to rhyme (like a poem) according to me. But as I started typing, this is what came from my heart. I have hardly shared my poems with anyone. Not more than 5 people I guess. I don't even know whether or not this is a poem, but that's exactly how I feel right now.

Phew!

I'm totally Hooked, Booked & Cooked!!

Hooked: By tonnes of work!!
Booked: By too many pending things lined up for another year or so...
Cooked: By the bad food that I have to gulp in every meal.

It's a really long week! Atleast seems to be. I rarely crib about such things. but it's really getting on to me this time & the 'good' news is that all this work has to last for another month! Phew!

My Silent Companion

I have a lot of hobbies. Sketching & Poetry being few of them. Recently I've been feeling really worked up & on a lazy weekend, sketching made me feel really nice. It was almost like connecting to yourself! So a quick advice to myself & all of you : Find your silent companion & keep organising a meeting with it once in a while. You'll feel great!

The Show itself!

Having watched P.S. I Love you (which has a lot of mention in my previous posts) was a nice experience itself. One relates to all the things mentioned in those 500 sheets binded in a beautiful cover & sees the entire story from someone else's eyes. As I'm a deep 'imaginer', I imagine the entire novel along with the minutest details in my head at the time of reading it, so when a movie or any such picturization of an already read novel is viewed, I (unintentionally) tend to compare it to my own imagimation. Rarely does it match. But when someone picturizes a novel, they hold their individual imagination also & no two people imagine exactly alike. But imagining is a great way to let your mind feel free & also lets you think out of the box!
So keep imaginig & keep the freedom inside you alive!

Mirror..

I've looked at Life from both sides now,
From win and loose and still somehow..
It's life's illusions I recall,
I really don't know Life at all!!

The YOU in you!

I find self-gratitude very necessary in one's life. If one does not & CAN NOT feel good about one's own self, nothing can make him/her feel good about anything in life! Lack of self-gratitude can make a person feel more & more complex about all things around. People look for self-assurance in external things a lot. But I sometimes feel that getting a surgery done, changing your hair color, changing your eye color or doing any of such things cannot change the person you are from within. Self-proclaim is a very important issue in life & if one has confidence from within, nothing can change the way you see your own self. Feeling good about one's own self is one thing that is directly related to self-confidence & self-gratitude. Carry that confidence within yourself & keep your chin up! Always!

The Music of you and me..

Recently I've been pondering in my head about the next topic I should put up on my blog. Sometimes I used to have a rush of Ideas & the others just went by... without even getting a speck of a fresh idea! Extreme I guess! But during all these times, I just had one thing in common.. Music playing in my headphones. Yes. I've been listening to music too much lately (though I do need a daily dose of music as it's like food, water & air for me) But last few days have been more or less of "music-oriented" . Actually, for those of you who think its just another topic or me to write about.. Nope. Its like a journey for me. Its like a mood-maker or mood-breaker for me. Its like an experience for me. I somehow get connected to a specific time or phase of my life with the music that comes along during the same time. I would never be able to enjoy a party if the music isn't good. I would find a good collection of songs the perfect gift. But all this can never be seen on my outer shell(of course). It just tranquilizes me somehow & I give a lot of credit to it for that though! Innumerable memories are attached to bundle of songs in my life. Some songs, thus, become really become my favourites for the same reason & some just remain unheard as I would never want to look back to those times. So this one's for a bunch of some well-knitted notes that follow the path to my heart!!

P.S. My Novel Thoughts : Continued.

Finally I've finished reading P.S. I Love You & hmmmmm... Let me think of an exact word for the roller coaster ride of a bundle of 500 pages. Actually if I put strain on my brain cells, only one Specific word is not enough. It has like an overwhelming feel to it. Extreme at times. I felt a bit empty after the final word was read. Went in deep thoughts. I think the spectators of P.S. I Love You can understand what I'm trying to say.

If ever..

It really feels very very very bad to feel lonely. At times, one just doesn't know what to do, whom to talk to. All that comes to mind is pure deep melancholy. One feels poor- at heart. Not validated. Not important. It takes time for me to get into that feeling & longer to get out of it.

The way to go...

One of the many things I appreciate the most are honesty, creativity & passion. And I got to see all of these summed up in a simple act put up by a bunch of youngsters in a reality TV show called "India's got talent". The group called "Illuminati" presented a very special act which really cannot be explained in words & to top it all, they also ended up getting the "Pride of India" award which was worth 10 lakh rupees! i was jumping with joy for them!! And as I was watching the entire act, what really struck me was that the ultimate display of innovation really makes one wonder how intelligently & creatively the youth CAN put their energies into matter. There will always be many ways that the youth of a country can follow. What decides the future of that country depends on the choice of the youth. I really hope that many young budding minds keep the "Illuminati" & many such talented bunch of youngsters as their idol rather than straying off for disastrous futures. Belief in one's ceativity really takes my breath away! Keep rocking & keep imagining!!

P.S. My Novel Thoughts...

These days I'm reading a novel called "P.S. I Love You". Many of you must have seen the movie but somehow I don't have the movie & never got to watch it too and could just manage to buy the book itself. The basic idea behind the entire set-up is quite interesting when Gerry(the dying husband)- for those of you who've come across neither the book nor the movie- leaves notes for her wife Holly before he leaves the world. And for those of you who are wondering that I'll write a summary of the entire novel here for you to take the pancake of the gist, you are higly mistaken! No no no. You'll have to read the entire 500 long sheets to know just like me. To begin with, I'm really not a reader by nature. I just find the entire idea of reading novels or magazines (and especially text books) very tiring. I get scared like a child whenever I see those big fat novels lying here & there. And I know this would sound utterly ridiculously childish to all the born reading fanatics, but I would always love to hear the end of the novel if I'm reading any. So, if I like it, I'd read on and if I don't I would merrily throw it away. And guess what, I'm surrounded by people who always end up recommending the entire bible-looking sheets binded in a pretty cover & tell me to "experience the magic!!". I never get to hear the climax but I respect them all for that though. But somehow I've noticed these days that though it still takes me long enough to read a novel as compared to a normal 5th standard kid, still I get engrossed in the novel very much though. Exremism I guess! Well anyways, for those of you who have been a part of the spectator side of P.S. I Love You, I'll let you know when I finish it. I'm still half way... which is quite an achievement for me! Isn't it?

Let's celebrate the transitions...

On this Rakhi, all I could think about writing is- Celebrations! Not the chocolates that are gifted by brothers to their doting sisters but celebrations- that are a part of life. They are highly required in order to revive the emotions & feelings we hold for our loved ones. Even our elders believed so & thus they have now become traditions which must be carried forward. But as we've grown & seen transitions of all sorts, we've also seen a transition in celebrations that are around us. There has been a massive
increase in many festivities. Valentine's day, Friendship's day, Mother's day, Fathers day, etc etc.. These are just a few examples of what our elders had never even heard about that we actually celebrate today. And even a few people protest against the same these days calling it "westernisation". All I can say about it is that why crib about adding another celebration to our
general routine? And as the festival of Rakhi is about dedicating a day to the relationship of brothers & sisters, just the same way, Friendship day is about dedicating a day to the relationship of best buddies or Father's day is dedicated to how wonderful you find your Father. The idea is not about
blindly following the west but understanding the feelings behind it. We can keep a balance between our old traditions as well as celebrating the new found festivities. That ain't that tough... Is it? I don't think so. Let me know.

The beginnings are easy... I guess!!!

Well well... Its my first blog ever & I'm as excited as nervous... But as they say its easy to start but difficult to end anything. So, I'll be optimistic about it! :)
And that's the way I generally am.. Optimistic. I think putting one's energy into wasteful or negative thoughts simply makes one very vulnerable & naive to sway of from one's focus. So for all those people who really don't have anything positive right now to think about, I just have an old saying: "Everything happens for a reason." Plus something added from my very own side: "That reason will appear in front of you one fine day by itself & you'll be as relaxed & calm as ever, facing it with a big brave heart & thanking your God for making that happen." Its not just some bookish stuff that has been typed out of nowhere. Real experiences makes me write anything. That was easy for me to write! So I guess beginnings are quite easy.. Isn't it? Let me know.. :)
