When Almighty Desires!

I feel happy, hungry, energetic and out of the bed!  This is the power of spring.  So finally the winters (never my favorite month) are way behind us and this gives me a mood to ponder. Whenever Spring comes, I get into this thinking-mode. What did I do last Spring, places I was at and people I was with?  I just imagine how things will turn out this time? Curious! It's just one positive power shot I wish to give every spring. How Optimistic am I? That's the power of Spring! Happy Power-ups to all of you!

In December, 2014 I was a first timer at the Airports of the world and that too, a loner :) My first ever flight that was a long haul from New Delhi(India) via Heathrow(UK) to San Francisco(US) ended up being a 22 hour journey! The lesser amount of time and additional 5 hours of layover at Heathrow while returning (FYI). Well, throughout my stay at the airports and observing eyes and Curious-George attitude I collected enough time to think and view that enormous sea of People which was present there ALWAYS waving, chattering, humming, raising eyebrows, mailing, yawning and smiling! I could see every different yet similar face present on the Earth at that particular airport of Heathrow. The only thing I could feel was how God made everyone and then their DNA replicas and then theirs? There was not a single moment when I never wondered why humans were so good at travelling? Was it because of our hunter-gatherer yet moving past as cavemen? Or its just another tendency of human ...

In 1998 when I just got in 6th grade and my sister in 11th grade (at 15 she skipped 1 class because she was awesome), our father thought to get us enrolled in a new and better school.  Leaving behind all my favorite teachers and single good friend was not only painful journey but a cry of a child who never wanted to detach from his/her safe harbor.  The formalities to get admission in a new school were not such a headache then and my parents always thought that it was as easy as 1-2-3 to make new friends and become a teacher's pet if you are good in their eyes. Since my sister gave them the impression of being confident, capable, responsible and intelligent and I was just 10% of the whole matter I knew I will do just average. My first day in that enormous new school happened to be a week before the beginning of 2 long months (May and June) summer vacation. The 4 days passed equally okay nevertheless, monotonous. However, P.E. was the best.  The 5th Day being ...

When we think about weddings------> lacy gowns, Veils, tuxedos and happy gatherings come into mind! But when I think about weddings, each is a unique experience to remember. Here I share some of mine! I wonder about such events in life that happen and we become a part of it. We were/are a part of it as it was/is meant to be us to give that event that special touch or take away all the glitter from it!!!  And then you say, OH yeah I was there.. Or You say.. I was not there and I still  don't regret it! Many a times I think about my one of the best friend's valentine themed (14th February) wedding where she kept calling me and I could not attend the celebration! I still don't remember why, was I busy? However, within a year I witnessed her marriage falling apart. She went through a terrible divorce and I happened to be with her at the time of her nervous breakdown. The saddest time of her life's history. One sad event ever to witness! However, I still chuck...

The butterflies' fluttering away! The emerald greens have been stretched on grounds and new buds are showing us their blushed tints.  Happy Spring to one and all :) This is one poem I recited in my class when I was 11, though I did not understand its deep metaphors then, but now its another time! Enjoy it reading. Spring is like a perhaps hand (which comes carefully out of Nowhere) arranging a window, into which people look (while people stare arranging and changing placing carefully there a strange thing and a known thing here) and changing everything carefully spring is like a perhaps Hand in a window (carefully to and from moving New and Old things,while people stare carefully moving a perhaps fraction of flower here placing an inch of air there) and without breaking anything. ~   Spring is like a perhaps hand  by E. E. Cummings~

Many of my friends have vanished from my life without even bidding me a decent goodbye To some I was bold and let them go But some disappeared to a place I didn't know Some got married and settled beyond my reach They severed from me, when I wasn't ready for the breach Many of my friends walked out from my heart Without checking back, was I cold and hard? On a day too yellow and blue of a sky Do they too remember me in a sober silent cry? The hole dug in my heart is fresh and deep, The memories of fun may ravish my sleep Their laughter is a promise that I may keep But their return won't help my bleeding weep! I needed them most when I was broken I waited for their words which were unspoken Yes, most are gone and some more are going Without giving a hope that they were always showing They come, they stay and then they leave They give me a reason too solid to believe If love is a pain and friendship relief When friends leave, why am I left in grie...

After a long time of erratic schedules of work made me ponder upon a question so frequently searched on Google, How to Manage Time because I think that it's not only me, but for me too Everyone is busy! Yesterday I kept talking to my mother about good olden days when everyone was so free that even my relatives would stay at our house for months altogether! How my neighbourhood children were my best friends and we would play daily for 4 hours straight every day after school, then do our homeworks, eat dinner and go to bed without any tantrum just to wake up and go to school the next day as school too, seemed fun! Growing up is the best thing that happens because it gives you problems and you challenge your brain to find solutions. Now as I have grown up, I find how everyone and not only me has become so entangled in our lives that we give only a couple of minutes to each other. Neither I know what they went through and how they dealt with that nor they know about me. It's j...

After one year, Almighty has bestowed his kindness upon me. Your prayers worked wonders :) After writing my last post on March 6th, 2012 I felt the need to work towards the New Year Goals that I set for myself. Things got deranged and the effect came on my job. But everything with God's help got sorted out and in a strangely amusing way!! Read on. I wanted a disease free year but unfortunately in later March I got my pelvic lymph nodes swollen like marbles which were accompanied by high fever at night and severe coughing. My state became so severe that I felt difficulty in walking. When the doc advised me for a Tuberculosis test I felt wrecked. My throat was so sore that even when I tried to talk, people listening to me could feel that something really bad is going on. My Mantoux Test (skin test for TB) came positive. I was absolutely wrecked. Then God intervened..... My later tests like  blood test, sputum test and chest x-ray showe...

At times, I wonder what pictures meant in the past? This question popped in my mind when I was seeing a slide show of my digital pictures. I nearly spent a whole day looking good but just got few "good looking pics". I wondered How quick the photo taking process has become.. click it .. dont like it.. delete it.. click another.. dont like.. delete it.. after few more bad clicks.. battery down..  :( I compared my digital pictures with the hand held photo albums where one has to turn the pages one-by-one stopping few seconds or more (i stare the picture for a minute) and seeing the "perfect" toothless smile when you were really "a babe" and a freckle less, frown less, wrinkle less picture of when you were 11 and a glowing skin (with no visible zits and acne) when you were  13-14 and some out of focus pictures as cameras were just cameras then and not automatic focus, anti shake and exposure fixing machines. When I was 10 and ...

Everytime I will turn my TV on, I will see a good amount of advertisments which will showcase adobed and airbrushed plastic beauties that will tell how they became fairer in 7 days after using "this" fairness cream and how they looked 10 years younger after using "this" skin regenerist cream. I have seen different western commercials on youtube that endorse "tanning creams" and how great one girl can look in a swim suit with that dusky body! oops.. is it funny? Gimme a Break! When someone is dark then what is so gross about it? Isn't this racism? If Dark skinned girls buy such creams to gain fairness then when someone is white skinned then why she should be asked to get a tan? The market has been captured by Garnier, Olay, Loreal and Ponds who sell their different products in this range :Loreal white perfect, olay white, ponds white beauty, garnier light, and then the ANTI-AGEING creams like age miracle, fine wrinkle reduction,...

Dear all, I wish you a great great New Year ( oh c'mon its just 15 days old sentence so please accept the same with a  SMILEY) I can't believe that my holidays are over and the season of fun and enjoyment is over too! But I want to take this year with a bang and a bingo so that I don't miss my vacations sooo much which I spent with my fiance after approx 19 months  :) In 2011, I kept working  (hardly) on my computer so that I could keep my poor self Employed. I earned last year (only) for my bread and butter and for some chips as well but this I want to earn enough to buy something better to eat,  THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN EATING BREAD AND BUTTER ALL THE TIME.. SO this year I want a disease free, flu free, flab free, pimple free health 365 days I want thick pay checks all 12 months and more savings each month However here are some quintessential things that I want this year : I want for myself a good techie phone before...

In this world there are so many addictions. Some people find themselves addicted to chocolates or ice creams, Others are addicted to those things that make them high, give them the feeling of overcoming their inhibitions and they become addcited to drugs. Some guys are addicted to technology, the newer the better. Girls are addicted to Shopping. My sister is addicted to cosmetics. Once a cosmetic company of her choice launches their new eye make/lipstick/gloss/blusher/nail paints etc. my sister grabs it all. It appears that she sometimes earn only to spend it on Lakme, Oriflame, Avon, Elle, Maybelline and Revlon. ( I hope my sis never reads it.. ooops) ♥♥♥ Coming on my self analysis. Im addicted to nothing but one thing in particular and that is http://www.google.com/  The very useful search engine which I reckon is the best.☺ I think Google is something that I want everywhere to be with me. when Im working or not working, when Im in office or at home, when I am cooki...

hi all.. my heart melts and reaches out to such people who are battling with their life while gifting away their talent to the world.  I feel so small in front of them and so untalented. They have dealt so much with life and they are continuing with it every day. Recently my sis got a packet of greeting cards and small best wishes cards on which some very b'ful paintings were made. I asked the reason for getting the whole lot and she said "look at the backside of the card" when I turned over I saw a small symbol of two people holding their art brushes in their mouth and between their toes :(  They paintings and artists are promoted by an org called Indian Mouth and Foot Painting Artists, by engaging highly talented Indian mouth and foot painting artists. All the artists either draw/paint by holding the art brushes in their mouths or between their toes since they have their limbs amputed due to certain reason or ...

Since this Monday I have been performing quite poor in terms of my job ! At times, I feel like I really should not do any WORK at all as working in office is against the NATURAL LAW. But then living and enjoying life in better quality is not so freaking against the NATURAL LAW.   Why I feel I should quit working is bcoz I sometimes hit the downs from ' the ups and downs of life' and I become sad and think that someone better than me should sit on my chair.  But then I re-think what are my chances out there if i quit my present job of a legal editor. then these jobs come to my mind lets analyse if i can do them. 1)   I can be a Painter : You have seen my art work already but for those who haven't its " here " So, do u think I can exhibit them and earn some bucks if not fame. :) but painting needs INSPIRATION and trust me I get hardly inspired more than twice in a month.  2) I can be a Macaroni specialist :  These d...

I read this short story on a site; What is a FAMILY? A kid from a broken family replied : Father and Mother I love you. I actually took a couple of minutes to realise what does Family actually mean to me. And then I found the answer. Its my Father and two mothers my real sister and my half brother who actually spent a lot of time pampering me with the world's not so very best things but they gave me the years of full enjoyment. My father has spent his more than half life living with my mom, and bringing up my sister along with ME. My step mom and her two kids [my half bro and his sis (now no more, may her soul RIP)] lived with her in another state where she worked  as lecturer in a State College. In India a man having two wives is still considered a taboo however, we never felt the same. Maybe God wanted us to be this way and we accepted. Laughter was all I can still remember echoing in my ears. When my step mom used to visit us along with her kids in summer ...
