Smile is just a message away...!!!

Tired and restless, she laid still on the bed, glaring at the unknown sky, waiting for the dreams to take her in their world. The night was peaceful. Millions of thoughts clouded her vision and her mind drifted from one to another in just few seconds. Controlling her mind somehow, she waved off all the thoughts. Just as she closed her eyes, she heard a beep of the phone. Someone had messaged her. Not sure whether she wanted to pick her cell and check, she left it there for few moments. After few deep breaths, her hand moved across the bed, to pick the phone. There lay a message on the inbox. Wondering what was so important for him to message her at this hour of the night. 

Without opening it, she kept the phone back. Did she really want to know what was in there? Was it a happy message? Will the content shatter her? Many random thoughts again dashed into her mind from the still unread message. Possibilities for what worst the message could be and also what best lay ahead. The past experiences always made her think the worst of situations and be prepared. On thinking from all negative, her mind asked her to check the message. 

She gathered the courage and slowly picked the phone to read it, prepared for the worst. It felt like ages and when she finally read it, her face lit up with a bright smile. :D

She lay on her back chatting for hours and it was the chirping of the birds which made her realise it was morning and there was no sign of tiredness on her face. The only thing to be notice was a delightful and pleasing smile.

How small things in life bother us too much. The digital life has changed the way we perceive things. Communication ways are many but communication itself is so difficult. Each of us perceive the things we read and listen in different ways and that becomes our understanding of it.

A unexpected message from someone can make the day and at times we end up waiting hours for a message from someone to just check on us. So why wait to be unexpected? Just pick the phone and message/call that someone who you are expecting or might be expecting you and trust me, the smile will melt the heart.

Teenage Confusions...!!!

Why is marriage considered the final step of any relationship?

Is it really important to give a name to a relationship?

Cant a girl and boy be friends?

The list to such questions is never ending and many youngsters tend to think on these lines at least one in there lifespan. Alas, often they don't get the answers.

Relations, love, infatuations, etc. are very common terms heard where one is not sure (most of us) which is the correct path for him or her when it comes to taking the personal decisions. Peer pressure, professional pressure, family pressure, all these also come along and hence making it even more difficult to have personal thoughts.

When asked, "What do you wish to see in your life partner?", the answers are not every convincing and it is mostly on what is seen in movies or read in books. The reality of what we expect is far from the answers given. It takes a lot time, personal space, understanding oneself which can make us actually have some opinion on our life partners.

Some may not agree and might say that my life-partner is my school sweetheart or my college darling, well yes, that can happen too and that also mostly is the result of the endless phone conversations, small letters, notebook notes that would have been passed multiple times and knowingly unknowingly, the two people understood what and who can make them happy and that of course, is the benefit of long invested time :D

Marriage or tie-ing a knot is probably important in Indian society (love or arrange :P) but what matters is the happiness and well-being of two individuals. We live in the modern world and tend to meet hundreds of people, some actually leave a footprint in our hearts, some become our friends, many just get lost in the crowd and few becomes our best buddies. Named or un-named any relations we make in our life, teaches us something, it uncovers a part or a quality of us which would have otherwise taken a long long time.

Being in the same age group, many questions do haunt me at times and I haven't got the answers to many of them, all I would say is go with the flow and discover yourself. After all,  

"Loving yourself isn't Vanity, it is SANITY...!!!"

I am a Sock and help me find my love...!!!

Hey All, let me introduce myself. I am sock and I keep your feet warm and protect you from all kind of shit that can harm your lovely feet. Here I am today narating my story of losing my beloved counterpart. I hope someone would read it and help me find my soulmate.

I lay there in the closet with other dirty clothes waiting for my turn to washed and reused again. My neighbours were a few soiled trousers and shirts and also I could see my community there, some other designed socks. All of us desperately waiting for our guardian to take us to the washer. The wash session was like a huge fair where we would meet a lot of relatives, friends and make few new relations. But like all other fairs, the crowd would be massive and there would be few bad people whom you need to be aware of.

One fine day, my guardian spared some time and took us to a her newly yet temporary washer. It looked quite different from the ones she normally took us to. I was very excited. I would experience some new swings and rides. I happy hugged my counterpart, the right foot sock. I asked her if she was excited and she happily nodded and was jumping to get inside the new white washer. Our guardian sorted us with our respective pairs and put is inside the washer. All my neighbours including me and my pair were thrilled. My guardian closed the door and put in some fresh aromatic detergent and turned on the washer after selecting warm water for our new ride. Slowly the water started falling on us with the detergent mixed. It felt just so good and perfect. Once the water was over us, the ride started. We swirled inside, once to the left and then to the right. Up and down, left and right, it just kept going on, I was enjoying it and so were all others. There was big smile on the right foot sock. I could slowly feel all the dirt being removed from over me and I could breathe in fresh air. This was a perfect ride. It went on for 1 hour. We enjoyed it but were tired and lay aside each other, waiting for our guardian to collect us. I was looking for the right foot sock but couldn't see her but I could hear her voice, talking to a blue colour shirt.
Time passed by, probably 2 hours but our guardian didn't come to take us. We all were dozing off to sleep, tired from the fun filled ride and then suddenly the door opened but a hand came in. I was happy, finally our guardian came, But the hand looked different. I wondered who is he? He just caught hold of our necks and threw us in the basket. My back hurt from been thrown down as I had fallen on the floor and not in basket. The man picked me and threw me in the basket. Most of us were hurt and didn't knew what was happening to us. We all became unconscious.
After some time when I woke up, it was our guardian looking at me with tears. I couldn't understand why she was sad. I thought of asking her, I tried getting up and saw she had arranged all the clothes in a pile with their pairs. I looked at my right to see how is the right foot sock doing and did she notice the guardian unhappy. I was surprised to see no-one on my right. I turned to see on the left and there was no-one. I got up and saw all other socks in the pairs. I freaked out. Sadness took over me too and I understood the reason my guardian was upset. I started crying and seeing that upsetting her even more.
Today, its 3 days after I lost my mate in that massive fair and I and my guardian daily go to the washer to check if someone by mistake took my partner but alas, we haven't found her yet.

My tears have dried up and so has my guardians pain. I knew how much she loved us both. We were favourite pair.
I have understood the meaning for the quote "What's meant to happen will surely happen". But I didn't realise I would lose my beloved in such a way.
A request to all the readers, if you find my counterpart, please help me be united with my love. My right foot Sock.

Life's greatest blessing...!!!

Its long since I wrote anything. So today I am just gonna write what is I have realised in a past few months when I was away in a hustle bustle of life.
Life gives you enough reasons to cry and it also give you plenty of reasons to laugh.

Its really hard when you lose a loved one and all of a sudden life changes. It feels so empty.
We don't realise the value of people and especially our family. We always take them as granted. There are times we ignore them or get pissed off with them due to various reasons. But the time we lose them is the time we realise what a big mistake we made.
A lot many of us stay away from our parents and grandparents. We speak to them in months and visit them in years maybe. But is that really something we should be doing? I leave it to you to answer.
What harm is it to give them a call and speak to them for a few minutes. How much does it takes to wish them a Good-morning. After all, they are the ones because of whom we are here. Some people won't agree with me and I won't argue over it for sure.

I personally have a lot of arguments with my parents but in the end I know their value in my life and how important it is for me to understand their point of view. 

I have spent days thinking and analysing what impact it has on me and I just know it now. 

I am incomplete without them and to share my thoughts with them makes me more powerful.

The strength that I receive when I know they are behind me as my backbone is just tremendous.

I am what I am because of them today. :)

Family is where Life begins and Love never ends...!!!

The most important thing in the world is family and love. - John Wooden

Unspoken Love...!!!

Eyes closed.. cold wind touching the cheeks.. hair flying up with the wind... ears becoming numb with the chilling wind but the whole body has the warmth of the beloved's hug. 

Slowly the bike keeps moving up and down the hill as he drives. The more colder the wind gets, the tighter is her hug. She breaths in the air and turns and kisses his neck. The touch of her lips on the back of his neck sends out a shivers down his spine. He keeps driving. Her touch giving him more confidence to cross the chill. He keeps driving even though he is numb with the cold and her weight. 

She feels a drop of rain on her cheek, it slowly moves down her cheek and clings to the side of her lips. She licks it up and taste the first drop of rain. As they move forward more droplets fall over them bringing them even more close and their embrace becomes even more strong.

She wants to stop. He doesn't want to slow down.

She whispers to him. He nodes.

He slows down. Her grip becomes more firm.

They approach a small corner tea stall and he finally stops. She gets down and runs to find shelter. He joins her. She clings to him. He holds her tight.

Sipping the tea, their eyes meet. 

Lots of unspoken words.. many unexplained feelings..!!!

She is cold, he is tired. 

They hug each other to never leave.

They share a lot in that one minute. The embrace said it all, explained why they were together and what they had between them.

A lot can be spoken without words. To express you don't always need words.

" Silence speaks when words can't..!!!"

No Trust = No Relationship

Necessity of each relation is Trust. The basic foundation of each and every relation, may it be friendship, love, employee-employer or a married couple, is TRUST. We look forward or are dependent of anyone for anything is only because we have some sort of trust and confidence on that person. The bond between two individuals can only be strong if there is Trust in it.

Trust is nothing that can flourish in a day or two but it takes time to establish. Its asks for ample amount of time for this Trust to grow and make an unbreakable bond. 

When two people stay together, near and close, it is easy to communicate and clear conversations but once distances grow and people our apart then one of the biggest issue is lack of trust of DOUBT.

How hard it becomes when the the huge tower of any relationship shivers because the foundation of trust is missing. If the bricks are of lies then no one can save the house from collapsing.

Sooner or later all of us understand the importance of trust and the negativity that doubts bring into relationship. Distant relationship stay strong if the commitment and trust is pure enough. Its very difficult to accept someone once the trust breaks and also it becomes a misery to even think about the betrayal.

“All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.” 

Life is about Adventure...!!!

I see many people complaining about life being tough.

People often see difficulties as pain. They never see the positive side of it.

Its becomes very hard to do something out of the box and move out of your comfort zone. We all tend to play safe. "Why Risk" is what we all generally feel.

But will life be fun without risk, without adventure. Would it be worth if life would have been easy. If there would have been nothing to fight for, nothing to achieve, nothing to dream about. I personally feel Life would have been really boring if things would have been simple.

I just love when I do something beyond what I expected. I feel satisfied when I achieve my goals. I feel happy when I do things that I never thought I would be able to do.

Life is fun only when we deal with the problems. The adventure makes us alive.

Live Life.. Love Life...!!!

My scars make me what I am...!!!

Broken into fragments, tears in eyes, aching heart, a doubt on yourself.. all such emotions and thoughts come hurrying towards us when we end relations and move away from people who played an important role in our life.

People don't stay with us forever and nor do any relations come with a warranty card. But still it becomes hard for us to face broken relations. We get ditched, cheated and have broken hearts and all this take us into a state of trauma. But is this the end? Why after such encounters we detach our self from some feelings. Why do we get scared of falling in love again or why do we stop mingling with people.  Well.. I don't have the answer to this question.

I have often heard and read that we should move on.. The show must go on. Yes, it does goes on.. but it takes time. Recomposing our self to accept some realities takes time. But somewhere in this process we do lose a important part of our self. Losing will not be a appropriate word.. instead I should say in this process we find a part of our self. We know what makes us weak and what makes us strong.

As an individual who has faced these emotions, I feel its a part of growing. All these things makes me think the way I think today. After many heart breaks and ditched and cheated upon many times, I have become an individual with my own set of rules and have my own self-respect. I still do fall in love, still face heart-breaks, still cry out my eyes, still go in low and sad moods, but in the end of it all, I am strong, stronger than I was ever before.
 I walk with my head held high. I have experience of things. I have come out of traumas. I have lived it. I have pain. I have love. I have tears. I have emotions. I have scars and they make me what I am today.

True Love has NO Ending...!!!

Every love story does not have a happy ending. Some love stories are meant to stay incomplete.

Each one of us have fallen in love, love that we accept or love that we maynot accept. Sometimes we have the courage to say that it was love and sometimes we don’t even understand this amazing feeling and leave it buried deep down in our hearts and never unveil the reality.

I personally never could understand what LOVE has been for me. 

Is the feeling of caring for someone unconditionally a part of love or being jealous seeing that one person with someone else. 

Is it smiling just at the thoughts of that person or is it in grinning stupidly looking at them. 

Is it in praying for them when they are away and always wishing good for that person.

Is it in silently observing them from far away and taking away eyes if you are caught. 

There are this enormous list that confuses me. Well whatever it is.. it is something that surely is beautiful. All the small things that you tend to admire about one person openly or secretly is anyways beautiful. 

It is actually amazing to think how people change when they sense the presence of love around them. Love is always surrounding us but it takes us lots of time to sense and feel it and when we realise it we seem to be lost in the magic it does on us. Things that we never have even thought start happening in our lives. Days and nights seem to be colourful and beauty of everything is beyond what words can describe. 

The true eternal love doesn’t need anything to stay alive. Its meant to be there forever and always. Distance or togetherness doesn’t affect it. It just make it stronger and true love is a strength. 

I believe Love only makes us stronger and more stern. If we have the courage to love someone more than ourself, then there is nothing that cannot be achieved with that courage. Its only a matter of time when people start believing the power of Love. 

And yes, each love story may not have a happy ending but to make it perfect depends only on us. 

LOVE is bliss and people who have been in love will surely agree with me.

It all just reminds me of beautiful song by Boyzone:

You’re the air that I breathe

Girl you’re all that I need

And I wanna thank you, lady

You’re the words that I read

You’re the light that I see

And your love is all that I need

Just like a castle of sand

Girl, I almost let love slip right out of my hands

And just like a flower needs rain

I will stand by your side through the joy and the pain

7 things to love about Dehradun...!!!

Dehradun, often called as Doon Valley, geographically located in the State of Uttarakhand and situated in the foothills of Himalyas is one of the cities I just love belonging to. Being away for sometime has made me me miss the city and here I jot down few things that I most remember about Dehradun.

SCENIC BEAUTY AND WEATHER

The scenic beauty of Dehradun is mesmerising. From the valley the look of the mountains all around and on the outskirts the peace and look of the city is just beyond what words can describe. And how can i forget the look of Dehradun from Mussorie road, it is something that most of feel is just beautiful.

The weather is just awesome. Rain, clouds, sun all are in the best proportion.

HANGOUT ON MUSSORIE ROAD

The famous Mussorie road and maggi points which are one the best points to hangout and recollect memories and create few more new rememberable ones.

FAMOUS INSTITUTIONS

IMA, FRI, IIP etc  being the major attractions which add to the heritage and popularity of dehradun. Both these institutions have beautiful structures.

MAIN MARKET

Paltan bazar can never be replaced by malls. The evening strolls is also inviting to the youngsters to do some window shopping and enjoy a ice-cream at Gaylords.

WATER FALL

How can I forget the water springs. Shastradhara, Gucci pani, Lachhiwala and various springs like Shikhar falls, Bhatta falls attract a lot of people to enjoy in midst of day routines.

PEACE

The peace of the city is just amazing for meditations and the calmness attracts a lot of people to have Dehradun as a place to rejoice.

OUTSKIRTS AND NERABY PLACES

A few kilometres drive and you can go to the well known Mussorie, Dhanaulti and its outskirts , Rishikesh and its beautiful surroundings and also Ponta sahib cannot be forgotten.

The stroll on the mall road that one can never say a 'NO' to.

These are just the few things that people who have stayed in Dehradun will agree with. Each one of us who has spent some time may that be days or years in Dehradun will always cherish going back

PS: This post is dedicated to all Dehradun Lovers, so called Doonites.

The Call Of LOVE..!!!

Aloof alone here I stand

with love in my heart.. that has no end,

You made me smile…you made me cry

you made me wonder… you made me ponder.

Time passed.. my love grew

unconditionally drew me toward you,

Each day each night

I wondered what it was 

to be in love with you.

I couldn’t say

I couldn’t accept 

the love that was within,

The feel that i had for you

was far from being revealed.

You were away.. you were far

with someone i didn’t knew,

I cried all night

to gather the strength and

wished that you realise.

You left.. 

I cried,

You came

I rejoiced,

Each day was full of pain

yet the love was not in vain.

You matter to me

more than words can explain

Standing away.. all i could say

i’ll love you with all my might

hoping one day u’ll be mine..!!!

Is it LOVE??

Recently some events and realizations made me think the difference between LOVE and LUST.
These two 4 letters made me think a lot for nearly two long days now and finally i decided to write something on it.

LOVE is something that bounds us to someone (purity involved) and LUST is something that wants the other person to be bound to you.
If I love someone, it has to be unconditional. I cannot expect the other person to love me too. And the day i feel it a necessity for the other person to love me the same way then that day this LOVE converts into LUST.


Love is never based on person's looks or who a person presents itself and you never have a image to maintain as what you are is only what you show. On the other side, Lust is somewhat based on physical attraction and nothing to do with feelings.

Love and Lust is most misunderstood and thus the result is a huge disaster. If the relation is based on lust then somewhere at some point of time the gut feeling arises speaking of DANGER. Thus, to differentiate the feelings is very important and also a challenging task as "Love is purity of heart and Lust is just a demand..!!"
It always take time to build love but lust comes in moments. And anything that takes time is worth maintaining. Right?

Its You and Only You...!!!

It is often said, "All that glitters is not gold..!!! " But it often takes time to understand this fact. We assume that nothing can make us hamper our belief on the things that matter a lot in our lives. We start to believe that we can get everything that we desire but its long before this misconception comes to an end.

A person best companion is his own self. We may fall in love, have friendships and wish to secure our relations but does these things last long. There comes a time when we need to decide that what is the foremost priority in our life, what is that cannot wait and what is that can be neglected.

Its the law of nature that anything that gets to a peak has to come down. Each individual faces a dilemma in his/her life and this makes us think as to what is correct and what is not.

Often the things of most importance takes a back seat in life and we focus on things that can are just diverting us from the actual path.Each one of us have a aim in life and this aim varies from person to person, sooner or later we come to understand this aim and we realize that every action and situation that occurred in our life was something that was trying to make us understand that aim.

The things we need to learn are always learned and it takes its own time to settle in properly. 

As it can be truly said that " Lessons of life will be repeated till they are properly learned..!!!"

“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.” 

LOVE- A Purest Feeling

LOVE.. a feeling of being drunk in someone else's wine. 

One of the most happiest thing in a person's life but yet painful and still people search for it.

Everyone one of us at some point of time have been in love or atleast felt that we are in love. But is this really love?

People generally think of infatuation or attraction as love and this so called Love is given a name of a relation. This relation glorifies in the beginning and soon the flair is gone. People get hurt, relations finish and hearts are felt as heartbroken. Is this what love is? Is getting hurt a part of love? Well, the answer is surely NO.

When a person is in love or feels love for someone then it is one of the purest feelings which stays with the person forever.

This is a feeling in which the happiness of someone is all that matters, even if it is the not the other way round. 

This is a feeling of giving for someone with all your might, even if you don't get anything in return.

This is a feeling when only the smile on that person's face can make your heart smile.

Now the question arises, Is love selfish? Is it possible to Love only to give? So, the answer is surely YES.

True love is something that never wants anything except that the other person should be happiest state of mind.

Love is the most amazing feeling in the world and also the hardest to be felt.

Realizing it in my own life, I can conclude by saying- "Reward of every true love is not love… But it surely is a great feel...!! "

Introspection...!!!

Each day i ask myself

Did i love enough?

Did i care enough?

Did i give enough?

Each day i ask myself

Did i smile enough?

Did i enjoy enough?

Did i live enough?

Each day i ask myself

Did i make the best out of my day?

Did i learn the lessons of today?

Did i live it to the fullest?

And each day i find myself answering

That there is more to be done.

More of life to be lived

More of love to be given

More of places to be explored

More of adventures to be done

More of joy to be felt

More of lessons to be learned

More of smile to be smiled

More of everything…!!!
