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!!!
