Life as usual...

Saturday mornings are different as one Saturday could bring work, another more sleep and a third one- a date ;-) This day today bought me present to THIS MOMENT, right now...

An alarm was set for 0600 hrs and I knew with confidence, I would wake up ;-) No, no, don't keep your hopes too high... I did not!!!

By the way, that is me! The rain (my favourite!) showers in Delhi bought the temperature down in the beginning of Summers itself (Rain Gods, can't thank you enough for this!) and the night that went by, was chilly! Well, chilly by the standards of March in New Delhi. This left me with broken sleep and though, I was fresh to get up at 0600 hrs (actually, 0606 hrs- I like any different thing from the usual, like many of us!), I thought the day can wait for me to wake up and be ready to spend it working... 

Eyes opened a couple of times and yes, I did refrain from checking my new iPhone (show off!) as my sister complains an teases me to be an addict of this new gadget in my hand! I did not check it- no, no, did not check FB, not even Whatz App and SMS- nope! Did I check the phone for missed calls- Naaah... So first success of the day, I ignored this new instrument and went to sleep again to wake up at 0830 hrs and message a few people to know I miss them when I open my eyes... :) Good Morning!

Shower would have made more sense with cold water; I managed with lukewarm one and the morning began...

It is different, I woke up to work and I did not, SMS and Whatz App waited for me to come to them, had a different breakfast of parantha and dal and subzi right in the morning and spoke to a friend briefly...

As I sat down to begin my meditation, there was silence within and a wave of happiness seems to have a ripple effect on my being :) Then I got present to something- I could hear my parents talk, my mother conversing with the maid off and on and it looked as if the nature was responding to their conversations... The crow said something, which went beyond my comprehension and the squirrels assembled for their little conference over the weekend. The horns are blowing in the distance and some house work is happening a few appartments far... I could get aware of all this while my eyes were shut and a part of being was peacefully meditating...

It is then it occured to me- this is-

life, as usual... :)

:) Truly, I am happy, without any reason.... :)

It is when the soul dances,

It is when the heart rejoices,

It is when the lips sing,

It is when the chatter dips,

It is when love comes around,

It is when grace pours down.

It is when angels sit beside,

It is when everything is alright,

It is when the world is worthy,

It is when the tears are healthy,

It is when an embrace is for self,

It is when anger is all a melt,

It is when the moon shines,
It is when the stars smile,
It is when the clouds roar,
It is when the sun soar,

It is when the bees buzz,
It is when the trees hush,
It is when the wind blows,
It is when the colours show,

Sorrows are a miss,
Life is a hit,
I am all in,
For the life to truly begin...

Unexpected Weather followed Expected Happiness...

Been of an adventurous lot, I would, anyday, prefer a life FULL of excitement, fun, joy, happiness-sadness, over a mundane run-of-the-mill, "status-quo" everyday... In short, life is no less than a roller-coaster for me and as luck would have it, for people around me. There is never a dull moment!

It is time to start afresh... The pour today signified a beginning of a new me, not less excited though! ;-) 

The last 6 months have been a baggage on me and quite a heavy one... One after the other, agony began and continued and aggravated... Todays' downpour has washed away each and every bit of that sadness and here, I leave everything behind and Welcome The New Me With Open Arms and A BIGGGG HUG :)

:) Kudos To Life :) YOU LIVE AND THAT IS WHY I LIVE :-) Muaaaaaah Zindagi... 

Ruhi- Our Pure Soul

Having known you for as long as I know myself, it has been a pure blessing. Visiting your home as a kid, seeing you come back from school, struggling to live a normal life- I have been a witness to it all.

Hope for a better tomorrow for you never ceased, until this morning when you decided to leave us and free yourselves from the struggles from this lifetime...

Your smile made me strong, your concerns made me compassionate, your love made me a sister- thank you for living a life, solely and one hundred percent for others and not even a single day for yourself. Souls like you are a true blessing, in all respects.

From childhood to the days of the youth, we saw you transform from an independant child to a dependant young girl, yet with no compliants and just a pleasant gesture at all times. Your father and I always discussed ways to make you better. I could sense the helplessness in his eyes, in his voice and would just only pray to make you better. Whenever he looked at me, I could see that happiness and sadness that had my daughter been "one of the girls", she would study, would play, would have relationships, would get married....

I read in a book that souls like you are really special and they take birth to teach important lessons to their dear ones. Such a painful life and a gift for us, May You Rest In Peace...

We will meet again, soon! This time, please don't be the brave one

Love You! Adios!!!

Hearing The Rain Drops Fall...

The Sound of The Wind blowing gave the signal of the summers that are approaching. As the temperature is soaring here in New Delhi, work is busy, as usual... Life comes up with it's surprises, most of them are pleasant ones and the roller coaster continues. :)

Amongst all this, comes the rain droplets on my face as I sing along a happy song. Lightning strikes and the clouds are smiling, narrating their own love story with water and light. 

The night dawns upon the city and the moon is shining bright. The stars are it's best friend, telling it their visibility is no sign of their presence! They are eternal...

Suddenly, the clouds march ahead and shower their love on the moon as if a giant is giving a hug to a petite girl and slowly, the whole sky turns white and grey. This act of love may be taken for granted, though can never be less than magnificient. 

Nature has love in it's each drop, showering it's divinity all along...

True Love or A Love of Convenience!!!

Just got over a perfect example of "a love of convenience" in my life and as I always said (research and facts supported!) that words mean nothing if action does not follow and worst still, if the body communicates the opposite. 

The smile in his being on the 13th of March shook me out of my dream world to tell me that he NEVER did love me even for a second and breaking of that illusion is such a relief! His love was a magnificient example of a love of convenience prevalent in todays' "modern" world! 

Since I had never experienced that before, I had no idea what it is like and I am glad now I know... :)

All I want to say at this moment is thank you for revealing the true case of a first hand experience of a Love For Convenience... 

Life since then has been magical to say the least, true love is felt now and being complete is in the air! 
;-)

To feel loved with acceptance, space, freedom to be and unconditional is LIFE and I am honoured to be experiencing that NOW, IN THIS MOMENT! 

Reality check is required and let us throw away all that is of convenience, for us or the other person and just live EACH MOMENT in THE HOME OF LOVE, BREATHING THE AIR OF FREEDOM n LIVING ON THE FOOD OF PASSION, AlWaYs n FoReVeR... 

God Bless and remember, the Secret to Youth is a four-letter word... L-O-V-E :)

Yaar Pe, Ishq Pe Luta Di Mita Di, Maine Apni Khudi

Love is like the Sky-

limitless and vast; absorbing and vibrant;

endless and forgiving; unfathomable and divine;

colourful and optimistic; tilted and abstract;

illogical and crazy; pure and silly;

bright and sunny; rainy and romantic;

unreasonabale and soft; lit and scary;

loving and lovable; God and an imagination...

P.S.- Dear Sky, when I really really begin to love a person next, may my love becomes my own sky and my man of this sky-like love puts his love even above his identity- his Self, vaakya hi, ishq mein luta de, mita de, woh apni khudi... and that second, life will be infused in my breath-

Judha main tujhse is tarah,

Ki bhool gaya apne gamm,

Hua main tera yuh,

Ki yaad raha bas tu hi hardam,

Tujhe kisi aur ko dena manzoor nahin,

Mujhe tujhse door rehan kabool nahin,

Paas aa bas ja tu mujh mein,

Ki rahe yeh ishq aur yeh ishq...

Maayne main samjha is shabad ka,

"Hum" bana kis dhaage se,

Main aur tu aa mile,

Ishq ke is saagar mein,

Paani ki boondein wajood kho ke,

Paati hain khud ko ek naye roop mein,

Rang jiska hain khuda sa noor,

Rishta jiska hain hans sa paak...

Main aaya ab sirf jeene,

Shabado mein nahin, asliyat mein karne,

Jee gaya teri baahon mein aa ke,

Pa gaya jannat is dharti pe aa ke...

Mohabbat ki yeh deewangi milein sabko,

Dua hain meri ishq karna aaye ab sabko,

Mera ishq meri ruh ko sawaar de,

Khudi us pyaar ki raahe bana de...

May I Become The Right Woman for the Right Man for me to come along and stay put :)

Bin Tere, Bin Tere... Koi Khalish Hain Hawaao Mein... Bin Tere...

His smile just sets me right,

His logic just lets me fight,

His voice soothes me down,

His hug peps me up...

I lit up in his presence,

Talk endless with his essence,

Feeling his emotions in the eyes,

I let myself just be with Mr. Wise...

Perfect is the heart-signal,

Intellect is the rhyming jingle,

Love is infinitely beyond,

Passion is all around...

Our talks are endless,

Our love is pure,

In the realms of reality,

It has no shore...

We connect as WE were meant to be,

Only to disconnect to walk on our own paths,

I wonder where he is gone,

For I fought and loved him all along...

Inspired by AB's Maggi ad.!!!!

Pedh ke saaye mein chalte,
4 Degree ki thand mein thithurte,
Apni Apni kahaani sunate,
Dekh ruke "Maggi" ko ek plate mein,
Khaate hue masala maagi,
khushboo ne bataya-
MAGGI hain bachpan ki khilkhilat,
MAGGI hain maasomiat ka pyaar,
MAGGI hain ladhkpan ka josh,
MAGGI hain buzargo ki gharmahat...

Maggi rahi saath, har kadam, hamesha se... hamesha tak... :)

Love The Maggi Moments. Dedicated to all those I shared My Maggi with; those who made it for me n to the ageless 2-minute MAGGI generation!
