...to the world of Rapists!!!!!

It was a cold morning and i slipped out of bed careful not to wake up my two year old sleeping peacefully beside me... I hurried to the kitchen to start with my chores for the morning. one of it being retrieving the milk packet from my front door, i opened the door and picked up the packet and the newspaper. I conducted the usual ritual of reading the headlines and was about to flop the paper on the table, but before i could walk off something caught my eye. Dumbstruck, shocked, numb, shivers.... i don't know exactly how to explain that moment of pain. "Capital shamed: Girl gang-raped on bus in South Delhi", it read. Details of it all of you would have read. It was too much to believe.  As i managed to handover the paper to my husband and walk away, my mind was flooded with the many such articles I've read in the past. brutal cases like these have been in the papers on and off. Fathers, Uncles, Caretakers, turning into monsters at schools ,home etc, The ve

SALE SALE SALE ... everywhere a SALE... that's how it is now when u tread outside nowadays. Every other store has an ON SALE board hung bright and bold in front of their entrances,and knowingly or unknowingly we get pulled in. So last weekend i was on this shopping spree, desperate to checkout the sale at my favorite store, i made time from my usual schedules to head out and indulge. Since the day i had planned for this, my mind had been on this all alert mode, where i pick up colors and patterns from everything i see, from tv serials to magazine pages, to distant memories of beautiful dresses worn in my favorite movies. Every now and then, in between the routines my mind would return with a new color and pattern to put in my bookmarks list, so that i can refer to them when at the store. All set for the endeavor i headed out to the store. The innumerable colors that the store held out to me were more than manageable. Never had i felt so overwhelmed with the need to pick my favo

Forgive and ForgeT? or Revenge and Regret?

There are basically two kinds I've come across.. The ones who forgive and forget and the other who don't! While the former glazes through life leaving breakups and regrets behind , with the hope of a better tomorrow, the latter holds on to the past and evaluates everything the future holds in terms if the past memories. Even the smallest mistake you do with a person who never forgets will be written in big bold letters in the book of your relationship and will be referred back and forth every valid and invalid times. Hence evidently forgive and forget is the way to be if you want to enjoy life without the dark shadows of the past. But in todays wild world, there are some others who take advantage of this Forgive and forget trait. Just because we move on with life more easily, people tend to think that they can get away with anything ,cos we'll forgive them and get along as if nothing happened. So then it becomes important that forgive and forget be always accompan

Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum {If you carry your restlessness in your heart, then you are alive} Nazar mein khwabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum {If you carry the flames of your dreams in your eyes, then you are alive} Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise aazad rehna sikho {Learn to live free like the gusts of wind} Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna sikho {Learn to flow like the waves in a stream} Har ek lamhe se tum milo kholke apni bhaahein {Embrace every moment in life with open arms} Har ek pal ek naya samha dekhen yeh nigahaein {Each moment your eyes see is a new season} Jo apni aankhon mein hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum {If you carry wonder in your eyes, then you are alive} Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum {If you carry your restlessness in your heart, then you are alive} These are lines from a Bollywood (Hindi) hit movie…..

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

  Excerpt:    "Everyone knows they're going to die,but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently." All of us have thousands of complaints right? about the traffic, the food, the salary,the work, the politics,... on goes the never ending lists. So amidst all these regrets and worries, there came by a book which left me thinking how silly i am !! A professor counting his last days of life, shows us the true meaning of being alive! to not surrender to the disease is one part of whole book, but the most important part is the lessons he teaches us. Excerpt: " Take any emotion-love for a woman,or grief for a loved one, If you hold back on the emotions-if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them-you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid.You're afraid of the pain,you're afraid of the grief.You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself i

Got a Second look?

If people are giving you a second look, there can be two possibilities, either you are looking too beautiful to take eyes off,  or something is too awkward to stop laughing about! What You choose to Believe, decides the course of your next step....

The Facebook Phase!!!

Just the other day I caught myself red handed .... thinking in terms of facebook status messages! Although it was funny at start, later I was wondering what's wrong with me. Am I obsessed with the social networking funda ...or is it just a minor symptom to ring the bell and stop me from getting there.?! Whatever it is, I'm sure that lately my fb addiction has increased a tiny winy bit....and now i recognize ...its changing the way i think !!! So what's it that has made face book so famous and what's that one string its originators struck right in the entire human population's minds. ** This social sharing concept has affected us so much these days that the first thought on every photo we click, is whether it'll look good on  face book and how many of our social circles would like/comment on it. Every dress, styles, jobs, and even the Person is evaluated based on the number of likes\comments we receive for it! ** The don't tell mama trick no longer

The Desire to Inspire ….

What do I write about? This has been the question on my mind for several days now. And even now when the deadlines are at hands reach, I have no idea what to scribble about! There have been so many topics in my mind but none has managed to hold my concentration for long. I wonder why I’m out of topic at this very hour when the need for it is high. Many times in life we are in similar situations when we desire to perform, but we are in lack of inspiration! Inspiration is required not only for a work of art, but in all walks of life, whether it be to do chores at home, or to survive through the heavy traffic everyday, to get to office. Without inspiration life doesn't move on! As a mother, father, brother, friend, or whatever roles u play in your lives.. how do U add inspiration to your loved one’s life? Inspiration is sometimes such a heavy word that we tend to look too far for it, when in reality we could have found it not farther than our door steps!  A simple
