So do it right...and do it the right way!!!

The so called "adult"

I miss the time when I was a kid and was allowed to cry on my failures, I was allowed to shout and panic when things didn't go according to my plan, I was allowed to leave the stuffs I didn't enjoy and no one used to tell me that I should control.

Then why are so many expectations from me now?

Why cannot I shout when I am angry?

Why cannot I cry when I am hurt?

Why cannot I show my emotions the way it comes to me?

All this only because there is a word attached to my life and age now? "Adult"??

I am tired being an adult, why cannot I be a kid again??

Rolls.....

I have traveled through most of India and had stayed for more than 1 year in some places.....

but I have never found out the exact taste of rolls anywhere in India other than in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.

I have a long fetish for rolls, egg-chicken specifically. I just live having rolls and can have them for all day meals..

When I was in bhubaneswar, I used to travel across the city just to try different places for delicious rolls. Now that I am away...I really miss them....

I remember when I was in hostel, in Mumbai, me and one of my friend used to travel for almost 1.5hrs just to have rolls in a place which slightly similar to bbsr rolls.

I have tried many places in bbsr for rolls but the best ones are, Dev (near big bazaar), master canteen, rumali roti roll (bapujinagar), stall next to Amber shop, Chinese corner near DAV public school, stall near rainbow (indradhanu market).

And moreover its not just me who longs for this particular food.....i posted one sentence in FB and have got all missing rolls responses.

Trust me if you are reading this and you have not tried rolls of bhubaneswar, and you love food....then your list is missing some serious action!!

Try to know it....its heavenly!!!

One of My favorite!!!

This is one of the many songs which I am addicted to....I will never get bored of this song in particular...There are many emotions which we never able to define or calculate, and this song always reminds me of that...

I love truly madly deeply 'truly madly deeply'!!!

Cousins!!!!

Cousins, how often do we use this term?? May be once in months or year when we see someone out of surprise and then relate them as far distant cousins or cousins we are no more in touch with...

Being an Indian, its very important that we are always attached to our cousins, but now even that trend has been changed. I personally have over 50 first cousins, and countless 2nd cousins..... and I hardly know anyone. I hardly go to any of the family gatherings and these things are kinda alien terms to me...

But then as I think how stupid I am to have so many brothers and sisters and not care about them..... My recent visit to my cousins for over a week led me to think that how much enjoying it is to be with cousins and have fun....its like they are my new friends who wont judge me as they are related to me and would always be open to new fun ideas and habits.

I can always find a friend of my age group within my cousins and never feel leftout in a party...also they are always there to help me through my hard times, as they are more experienced and wont lecture me as mom n dad.... so its like a double bonanza for me.

It took me a long route to realize that how truly I am gifted with all my cousins...

Seriously I thank our Indian culture and tradition and huge families like mine to gift me with so many cousins....

P.S: Dedicated to all my lovely cousins!!!

Walk in the RAIN !!!

I walked in the rain for the first time without feeling disgusting.....and I really found my peace in that....don't know how, but I felt pleasure from the one thing I hate doing!!

Rains are one of the most controversial subject for me since childhood.....

I never knew from why the water comes from sky?? parents used to tell me that the sky is upset and is crying...and as an innocent fool, I used to convince myself that I wont ever be upset and cry like this....

Then in school, I studied about the water cycle, it was a lot more logical and fascinating, and I believed what I studied....never thought of sky crying....

But now that I am all aware of all the facts and believes, I stand alone sometime and see the rain, I want to believe my innocence back then. I don't know somehow rains tell me that there is nothing bad about showing our feelings to others, there is nothing wrong in letting our emotions go....we should never hold our emotions back and if we are not ashamed of showing our emotions then clearly tomorrow we will see a bright sunshine.

While watching the rains, I didn't think about the science behind it, I didn't analyse the logic of water, all I got is peace and hope for a better after.

I guess today I re-learned a lesson from Rain which was taught to me long time before.

Thanks for the shower!!!

Independence Day!!!

Today is India's 63rd independence day...., but as we think about it, are we really independent??

Today also we cannot express out thoughts, not because we don't have the right to but because we don't want to waste our time to.

Today also we are treated like slaves and we cannot complain, not because we don't have a leader to complain but because we are greedy for multinational companies under whom we are working.

Today also there are fights between cultures, but not between two countries rather between two states or two brothers.

Today also women are treated as the weaker section but not because they don't have cultural rights but because of increased abuse and assault rates of women.

Today also our economy is weak, not because we never knew about international trade but because we know international trade very well and mix it up with corruption.

Well in these years we indeed have achieved a lot in our country, a lot in our society, a lot for our economy, but that growth and development is not completely because of independence but because of time that has passed through these years.

We got independent on 15th Aug 1947, but we have never improvised our Independence to any good use.....

So this independence is to all those great lives who thought this day would bring revolution in this country, salute to them....

And lets think us as independent in our own country and try be a responsible citizen for those great souls.

Jai Hind!!!

Gossip -- Gossip !!

"Gossip Girl"...one of my favorite TV shows...and I am sure many would agree with me on this. But why do we girls love gossip so much, or is it actually gossip? I kinda agree with Rachael from "friends" when she said, "I don't gossip....sometimes when I know some things I just pass on the information to the next person, it's like a social service". Well whatever the boys say, girls love gossip....and that includes me too.

How closely are we realated to gossip?? Well if you ask me, its the fastest means of communication with additional flavor and individuality when passed on from person to person!!!

Gossip is something we can listen to in our subconscious mind....and eventually become a part of it.

The best gossip are at the college times, where each one has something to say about others!!!

Back in hostel, me and my friend used to gossip about every creature alive in that building...the most popular victims were our respective roommates....and the best was my roomie had no clue I was talking about her....we used to gossip about every little thing of hers and she would have no idea....but I think she kind of liked the negative attention she was getting because of that...Me and my friend, we used to message each other in the middle of the class just to give the other the information....Once what happened, my friend's rommie was getting ready to go out with her boyfriend or something, and while she was getting dressed this female kept messaging me about everything, her clothes, her bag, her shoes, everything, I was caught laughing in the middle of class that day......hell, those days were fun.....

Now that my college is over, I feel so sorry that I am gonna miss those days so so much.... There is nothing more fun than making up new and weird gossips about different peoples, also spicing up those a little bit....

well talking about boys who gossip, i have many guy friends who tell me the gossips they know as they cannot share them with other girls neither say to other guys, so no one can say that guys don't gossip!!! basically its human nature that people love to gossip...

Gossip unless causes any harm to anyone is fun to do....but it always should be in limits.

I love to gossip....and will always continue to do so....there could never be an end to all these gossips....so we have to learn to live with them, as life without gossip would be biryani without spices!!!

Keep gossiping..... :) :) :)

P.S. most of the gossip incidents are deleted from this post because of privacy reason :P (gossip--gossip)

Namaskar or Namaste...

I was talking to my Granny yesterday and I ended the conversion with bye-bye. Well thats something I use with my friends, not with elder people. It just led me thinking how much we have forgotten these words??

"Namaste" has just lot more significance than we think, its one of the most popular greeting in India, where both of the palms are placed together and raised to below the face and close to the heart in a general salutation for welcoming someone or bidding farewell. Namaste can be used instead of 'welcome', 'hello', 'good morning', 'good evening', 'good evening' or 'bye'...

I don't believe in any other language, one word address can have so many different meanings.

Namaste is not only a sign of recognition but also an expression of happiness at each other's sight. This word carries love and respect with it, the glory of calmness and inner peace.

Sad to say, this word is getting lost, we no more address elders with namaskar, rather 'hello aunty' and 'hello uncle' sounds better... Even to our relatives..it doesnt come naturally...

We are influenced with the western culture so much that it never crosses our mind to use this symbolic word. How sad to admit that we are forgetting this word so quickly....With our busy lives who has time to devote few seconds to fold our hands, bow our head and say our greetings??? Are we really that busy or we are simply embarrassed to say this as it would affect our 'coolness'??

Its funny to observe that western culture find our this little thing so fascinating that, they believe this is a type of yogic practice. And yet, we being Indians forget its importance.....

So lets respect this very tiny little part of our culture and start our with greetings "namaste".

Namaste!!!!

I Think what to Think...?!!?

I think what to think!!!!

I realized after a long time that whatever I think before going to bed, I generally dream about that....which turned into a good or a bad dream....but mostly its about that....

So I was lying in the bed and was thinking what should I think that would give me a dreamy dream....and all of a sudden my whole life was converted into flashcards and started floating around me like windows-7....I have the liberty to choose anything I want.....

But right then, as I was brushing through those cards, I got a chance to have a glance at each one of them....every minute details were laid out there...it was like all my brain parts have opened their secrets to me.....

Then I separated them into two piles!!! one good and other bad!!! although I so wanted to ignore the bad pile....it kept flashing in front of me!!I so longed for a brain dustbin at that moment to flush out these cards...but that was not a possibility...

But in a way, for a very brief time, I lived almost my life again...saw all what I ever done right and wrong...how many people I have hurt in my life, how many people I have loved, and what exactly I have done till now that is beautiful and I am proud of!!!

Seeing my life flashing against my eyes for that very brief period made me think, I could have done better, I could have been at a better situation, but I had missed so much...

So instead of picking up a good memory flashcard for dream, I started thinking about the other cards of my life!!

But again while seeing all those flaws there, some cards started coming to me which had people I loved, times when I have laughed, times when I am taken care as a princess, and then at that very moment my life turned so beautiful and complete....I felt so lucky to have my loved ones always by my side, how much I love them....I really thanked God at that moment for such a beautiful and lucky life......

And with those beautiful thoughts I could see what life actually means, what we cannot control, and what we can always love....with my heart filled with love.....I finally fell asleep...into a beautiful and lovely dream....

My cup of Tea

Good Morning....

The moment I open my eyes, I ask the sunlight why did u wake me up!! I feel sleepy, dragging myself I finally manage to freshen up and sit down, everything is still lousy around me, still yawning, still hanging, then with lots of pain, I take first sip of my "morning tea"!!

Ah haa...nice...moistens my lips, relaxes my throat and my vision is clear, but still heavy head, this leads to my 2nd sip!!.....makes all my wrongs of life fade away and...as I see....the world is beautiful again :)

Tea represents an imaginary voyage for me, makes my morning....good morning.

It makes me alive, it gives me vision, it activates my body, it washes away my fear from nightmares, I wonder what would I do without my cup of tea!!

Yes, I am addicted to my morning tea, I am in love with my morning tea, it relaxes me without any expectations, it loves me without any return.

Call me crazy, but I just cant live without my "morning tea".

As beautifully said by someone,

If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated; it will cool you;
if you are depresses, it will cheer you;
if you are exhausted, it will calm you

Good Morning!!! Lets have a cup of Tea!! :)

First Kiss...

There was tension...

There was confusion...

It was Lust more than Love!!

There was surprise...

A long lived prize...

It was Rush more than Love!!

Heartbeat raising..

Emotions flooding...

It was Impulse more than Love!!

After the kiss...

Long awaited bliss...

It was all Love and only Love!!!

Muah!!!

That One Thing...

That one thing that makes my day!!!

E moment I get out of my bed..I think about that one thing that would make my day today..

I wonder what could be that one thing for today...a new dress, a new joke, a new friend, a new flavor of tea, or just a new expression of love!!

That one things is all what I look forward to...and while sleeping I wonder did I get my "one thing"?

What is so special about this "one thing", is it because of its surprise visit or because of its out of track path..whatever that is I love my "one thing".

That one thing of yesterday is the reason of my smile today or decides the mood of tomorrow!!

I have found my "one thing" for today.....have you??!!!

! ! ! Post Teenage ! ! !

First thirteen, Sweet Sixteen and Sexy Eighteen!!! The teens were the most beautiful time of one's life...(based on the present 22 yrs of experience). There was a unusual rush of Hormones....crazy ones included too....and the over overflow of emotions....the best was popularity took the chair of responsibility. Mistakes of teenage are always a part of joke....and always laughed upon....

Yet just after teenage...life suddenly takes a U-turn....there is pressure from no one, yet you feel the burden....no hint of responsibility...yet you feel the part of the RACE....everyone wants you to take a decision....yet you have no hint what they are talking about.....

What happens in these 1-2 yrs that changes everything. Every mistake back then (including blunders) never matter at all..but now even a hint of happening one….scares the hell out of us….And the guilt that comes after…just haunts like a nightmare.

What changes these years that we are so scared to admit that we are weak, we are incapable….why a rush to prove when no one expects it….why we forget “what we want” and focus on “what we should want”….why normal talks becomes professional and profitable…we become a part of the world where even best friends compete with each other rather that share…well sharing just doesn’t fit in any of the situations…we are just 2 years older and we forget to live or care about friends!!

Is this the true sign of growing up??? Is this the natural way of realising that we are moving forward…

What happens to our innocence, our polite smile, our desperate night calls…why these become so irrelevant now?? Why suddenly career becomes so important that we don’t mind running away from our loved ones…love is in heart…feelings are pouring….but all taking a route of harsh and stubbon…is this the changing phase we were never warned about?? Is this how we were supposed to deal with this….just in a matter of 2 years we forget to love, respect, laugh….just side effects of post teenage…after teen age!!!
