Friends or Foes???

Some days u cant help remind urself, how much better it was when we were kids!!

Friends were friends and foes were foes, there was always a bold line drawn between the two with thick black ink.... na......thick black crayons!!! :) Feelings were always clear and intentions never misunderstood!

And now we have grown up, and we have to wear a smile, while in our minds we might be screaming our heads off, with whatever bits of bad words we know! We need to put our heads to concentrate on multicoloured computer monitors, when we actually want to go out and party!! We have to be friends to our foes, which almost automatically makes our friends behave to us as if we their foes !

Every look, every word, every intention is misunderstood in every possible way! So much to the point that great people started proclaiming that 'the secret of failure, is trying to impress Everybody!'

Indeed, if we intent to clear every misunderstanding 'everyone' had got about us... then we would not have time for 'anything' else at all!!!! But does that mean that we live life our way and never care about others??? Answer would be a BIG NO !!!

Guess everything that we indulge in, needs to be within limits.. may it be friend or foe, Boss or childhood buddy.. .it applies to all!

Express your Feelings!!!!!

Have u ever had a second thought before u expressed your loveable feelings to someone special. (May it be ur fiance or ur mum.... ! )
In our orthodox indian soceity we have been trained to think twice before expressing our true feelings , and i do agree that we should be careful when we are dealing with strangers or people of the opposite sex with whom we dont intent to develop any special relationship.
But when it's that someone special in ur life, should we actually follow rules and egos before we think of expressing our love for him/her? I never felt that way.... and this blog wouldn't have come into being! But then i had this conversation with one of my friends who completely refused the idea, of cooking for his wife once in a while, as totally absurd! He being a good cook and other facts and figures in place, he couldn't agree with me when i said that it was also a way of showing ur appreciation and love for her.
I don't understand why anyone would wanna restrict the expression of feelings of love to his/her loved ones. I have had people in my life who never got to know how much we loved them, just because we never thought about telling them or expressing it in any simple way like a hug! And it made them pass through this life and out of it.. feeling that they were not wanted and their absence from our lives would never matter much ... when the truth was the opposite! And now i wish that they had a chance to express their feelings, wish i would have expressed my feelings for them!
We always seem to have the excuse that "he/she knows that i love and care for them, then why should i say it?" ... Yes we knew that... but still doesn't it make ur day when someone tells u that he/she loves u ??? .. those 3 words does have some magic!

WhAt MaKeS YOU HaPPy ????

Dear all ,

Some scenes in life launched a question in my mind.... What makes one happy? Something that makes you happy may not make me happy, right ? .... Guess you will say that it is a matter of common sense.

We are all individuals and we have our own special characteristics. which makes us different from our neighbour. How much ever we try, we cannot be the same as somebody else, there is always a factor of individualism in Humans.Thats what makes us different and superior to other beings...

.. but then, if we acccept this fact then why do we expect others to like what we like? to accept what we accept as normal. Why do we feel that what makes us happy will make others also happy?

... think about it friends... how many times have you unknowingly forced a friend or colleague to do something or accept something he/she had no desire to face, and ended up in a position when that person has regretted being your acquaintance?

Many times we forget that they are individuals with their own list of likings and dislikings, and we have no right to force them into doing anything they don't like!

How ever close you are to a person, remember to never forget thier individualism. The key to a successful relationship is to respect the individual in the person. Don't take anyone for granted. Don't assume that what makes you happy, will make him/her happy too!

Relationships............

Today morning was listening to my Ipod, and a very familiar song was going on, the next song was something I hadn’t heard before, and it took some time for me to gain interest in listening to it.

A thought came to mind then…. When it was the songs I knew already, it was easy to set my mind to its tune ‘cos the mind knows what to expect. But when it’s a new song i took a bit more time to adjust to the tune or actually start listening to it….

I feel that most of the times this is what we do in our relationships too. We all have some assumptions, usually formed with the help of what we see through media and what we read through books.

We assume that a particular relationship is supposed to be in a particular way. And when we personally get into such a relationship we start expecting the same as what we saw in the movie or read in a book. This will hide the true individuality of the persons involved and will lead to disappointment.

I should learn to keep my mind open. Open to new things, open to trying out new things, open to getting to know a new person. I should never forget that Everything and Every person is different from each other. No one is ‘like’ no one!

The Beginning...............

Life has become very complex when compared to the schooldays, when finishing the homework was the greatest problem one could face. Everytime we find ourselves in a tensed situation, and we hear all those mouths offering us advices... we feel that noone can understand how it feels to be us..... we become confident that we are the first ones who ever faced such a  situation.... but friends... give it a little thought and you'll know that is not the truth. There have been many before us.. they also lived, they also loved, they also won and they also lost..... It's been happening from time unknown and still most of us are unaware of how to handle it when it happens to us. So this blog i dedicate.. to the Unborn generation....To our future.. .when our words will be considered worthless... when we will be dead before we know it....  

Just the other day.. she discovered Internet!!!!

Just the other day she had been sitting in her boring old house. There was nothing nice to watch on tv, and all her friends were busy with their own lives. She had wondered when it had all become so boring, when will life be more interesting and worth looking forward to!

And now when she thought about that day it seemed very far away, as if it was someone else’s life! She had woke up early, afterall there was this awesome piece she had thought up yesterday and posted it on Facebook. She was curious to know whether anyone had responded! And hola there it was, 20 likes, 35 comments! Ooohhh… it’s the best response she has got in a while for her writings. She had always dreamt to be a writer, but life and its responsibilities didn’t give her the strength to take the risk of pursuing her dream! And now Facebook and her blogs had opened a new way for her to achieve some readers!

As she checked her other updates, she made breakfast and settled down at her dining table, it was news time and with just a glance at the main pages, she went directly to the editorial sections! After half an hour she was through with both breakfast and the paper. Before she could clean up there was the ping sound… hello babes… said her best friend. As she typed in a reply message for her she thought happily how it had been wonderful to catch up with her best friend after so many years! They had lost touch amid life’s race and now internet and all of its beautiful things had made it possible for them to find each other even when they were physically across the world!  She could see her friend’s kids playing in the background of where she was sitting for the video chat they had started. And it all seemed so near here.

She felt blessed to have made the decision, to get into the world of internet , possibilities were endless now,no day was boring… no day was alone!... and all in the comfort if your own home.. with just your mobile phone :D
