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. :)

I am a Bird and here I fly...!!!

Chirp chirp chirp…!!! 

I don’t know where I came from.. I don’t know for what I came… I am unsure of my existence.

I want to fly.. I want to explore.. I want to be a touch the horizons. It feels so good when I see the large flocks that fly over my nest, each one of them singing their own song, I want to sing my song too. I want to know what is there above the big mass of changing colour which is all over me. I feel its weird sometimes. It’s black sometimes, sometimes white, sometimes blue, sometimes orange, sometimes yellow. I want to know how it changes its colour.

I’ll try to fly now. I want to fly. I tried a few times. But I cannot stay in air long. I hurted my wings now. But I still want to try. I won’t lose hope. One day I will fly. 

Trying trying I could fly for sometime today. My wings are still weak. I fell down after flying for sometime. I could a cool breeze. My beak is cold. I will still try again.

Chirp chirp chirp…!!! 

On the window sill, there sits a bird nest. There is a small bird alone in it. It seems its trying to fly. I feel like bringing it inside and keeping it as pet. It won’t ever have any need to find food. But then will it like to be captured in a cage. The way it keeps trying to fly, reminds me of how I wanted to fly and fulfill my desires. Every morning I see this bird and it inspires me to accomplish what I believe. This bird has become an inspiration for me. One day I woke up and there is no Chrip sound. I got worried. I opened my window and saw the nest was empty. I searched everywhere nearby but couldn’t find the sweet birdie. I soon realised, it had flown early morning with its flocks. It will touch its horizons. It will be flying over my head. Its departure has inspired me even more. I will touch my horizons too….!!!!

Chirp Chirp Chirp…!!!

And I am flying…!!! It feels so awesome. The breeze is helping me fly too. I will fly to the sun today…!!! I love flying. I love my freedom…!!!

No Excuses.. Only Results...!!!

Results are the outcome of hardwork and excuses are a outcome of procrastination.

To push yourself harder and reach the heights is something that comes from determination, will power and a lot of hardwork. If we keep trying to find ways to avoid it, the only thing we end up is with excuses. A lot of people including me get irritated or pissed off at times when we don't get the results we desire. Sometimes we even try to get away with things and come up with all sort of excuses. But internally we know that what we never tried that hard.

The one giving excuses may not realise that he is harming himself as this soon becomes a habit and this is surely not a good one.

Results or Excuses is what we decide for ourselves. Both cannot be together. One of them is what we chose and deliver.

It's always our choice of what we accept and desire that makes us what we are. 

Thinking about excuses I just came around with this great quote:

“The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it.” 
― Jordan Belfort

Be brave to say a Goodbye...!!!

Today I write this blog with mixed emotions. This is a learning and that's the reason I am writing it down.
When we move out from our native place in search of living and start a new life in a new city, the people we meet have a great impact on our lives. It matters a lot how we interact and jell up with the crowd. The same happened with me when I moved to Bangalore. The first of many people I met were the one's from the place I started working. Being in IT industry you don't expect people to be very helpful to you and neither did I expect that. Initial days were very tough, especially when you have no clue of the local language. It took some 2 months to make friends or at least start talking to people and make them realize your presence.
You may have heard life is cruel, Yes, It is cruel as times. But its worth it.
Trying to understand the people around you is one of the most difficult tasks. When you have no freaking idea what people on the table are talking because you don't understand the language, then yes life seems cruel.

Anyways, finally my communication started with people and I made a few friends. Life came on track after some 6 months. Work is enjoyed when people you work with are fine and so happened with me. I worked with some decent people.

Today, when I bid farewell to the organization, I was excited about my new endeavor, but also felt a moment where I realized I wont be coming back to this place and work with my same team, have lunch with my buddies. Moving on is important. But what matters is how gracefully you move on.

A day well spent...!! :)

Its a bright day.. awesome weather... just the perfect one to go on a walk and feel the air. So I just thought to tighten up my clothes and go out for a little stroll. 

Out on the roads I see a puddles of water.. splashing into them just reminds me of my childhood days when jumping into them used to the most ultimate fun. Walking ahead I come to halt at the signal which is on my way to a park which was my destination. Looking around I felt how our lives have changed. 

How earlier we use to wait for the monsoons and the rains so that we can feel the rain.. feel the drops.. but now we wait for the rains to stop so that we can move out to complete our unfinished and pending tasks. How earlier we use to love getting drenched in rain and now he wait to avoid getting drenched. How a sunny day use to bring positive energies and now sunny days make us stay indoors. 

Well... leaving all my thoughts aside I walked along the road to reach my destination. To my astonishment I only saw all elderly people and just a few teenagers. Some of them were in mid of some yoga while others were busy in their own thoughts. I kept walking in the park to observe more people and enjoy the beauty of the weather while I rarely get to feel in the weekdays, when I am caught inside in the office with artificial air.

Moving on I decided to get seated on bench from where I could catch the glimpse of mostly all the people in that park. 

Being there for some time made me realize many more things. Starting with the change in the life in few years to the beauty of the weather and how I miss it. Going down the memory lane, I felt a bit nostalgic but I tried coming out of that and wanted to cherish the moment I am in.

An hour passed and I just didn't realize it. It started drizzling and each drop made me feel peaceful. More than I had felt in last few days. I just loved it and on the way back to my place I only felt it was a day well spent.

PS:  The motive of this post is to emphasize on the need of spending time amidst nature.

Rain makes everything Beautiful...!!!

Tip... tip... tip... tip... tip... and the drops of rain flow down from the forehead... slowly towards the eyes and then touching the cheeks gently moving towards the lips.. and then you feel the wetness of each drop and the touch of each drop as a beautiful touch of the lover. Feeling the rain and its each drops is just an out of the world feel for me.

Rain.. thunder.. strong wind... and heavy rain after that is something many of us cherish. It makes us realize the beauty of nature more deeply. The thirst of the Earth gets relived and the fragrance of mother Earth just makes all the rain-lovers nostalgic. The weather takes an amazing turn with the arrival of monsoons and everyone is relived from the burning sun and the heat is left behind.

Sitting near the window and writing this post makes me feel love rain even more. Drops that clung on the end of the leaves.. drops that slowly trip down from the window sill.. drops that directly embrace the Earth.. each of them have their own beauty.

PS: Dancing in the rain is something that I feel like doing right now.

Stop wishing... Keep Doing...!!!!

It brings a smile on your face when you aare recognized for the work you did, for the challenges you faced, for the battles you fought. It gives immense pleasure to see someone's trust on you and someone relying on you. The feeling is amazing. But there is something even more important and that is standing with a head held high in front of yourself. If you feel good enough of yourself for your work then other's come secondary.

The struggles we face today give us strength that need in the future. This spirit of moving on in whatever conditions is what makes you the real hero.
Many times we wont have our backs patted by others but that is the time we need to pat our own backs, cheer of yourself, treat us and party hard.
Motivation is something that we all need to move forward and what can be a bigger motivation than to prove yourself. This only seems to be possible when you know your own worth and you believe in yourself. People might not understand your importance doesn't mean that you are not important.

Stop wishing... Keep doing..
You will touch the highest peak for sure.
This is what I have started believing and realized after a few sadist days-

"Look through the clouds and you will see a bright sun waiting behind...!!!"

Profession - Joy Or Stress???

The most commonly asked Question “What do you do??” 

Some of us are happy to answer it and some of us answer it but not that happily.

Our profession and career play a vital role in our life. Infact, this is what somewhat becomes our identity. Our social profiles on Facebook and Twitter also contains at least a tagline of our careers leave alone the whole big professional profile on LinkedIn.

Whatever we do in lives for our living is definately important to build as an individual.

But do we chose our career correctly? Are we all happy with our professions or sometimes we do feel that I would have done better in some other. 

Atleast, I do feel this. Being an IT professional, a software developer to be more precise, I do sometimes feel that I would have done better if I would have chosen my career differently.

Recently, I meet someone who asked me “Do you belong to software industry?” I replied “Yes”. But there was something that made my voice a bit unusual. That guy owns a quite well-known designer clothes shop. He was happy and excited when he heard my reply but also showed his discontentment as being a business man he could spare good time for his friends. Soon a discussion started between my group and this guy which was nothing else but each trying to point the cons of their jobs. None of us were speaking of positive things. This made me wonder that do we justify ourselves when we chose our career.

Well, this is just a small incidence but most of face the same situations. We are never content with what we do. But on the other hand, I even have friends who just love their work because it is not only their job but also their hobby and their passion. We can always see the difference when we meet such people. When passion becomes the source of earning it makes us work double hard and also the input at any time is always at its best. 

You happiness some what depends on our professions because we spend nearly more than half day working and if the work is stressful then it surely affects the other time we have with family and friends. We all may not be able to make our passion as career but we can surely spend some time with it. After all, it somehow makes us happy and makes us what we actually are.

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

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..!!!

A far away voice......

Thousands of thoughts that cross my mind in just fractions of seconds amazes me. From family to friends to lover to career to future to life to dreams to reality.. all in just no time at all. And when i try to compose my thoughts into words or into something fruitful the result is a big failure. All this surprises me as once a calm and composed person has now turned into a person with messy thoughts. The thought process doesn’t end here. It actually starts from here once more forming a cloud that can burst at any time causing the world around to look up and realise that a blunder took place. 

This world has millions and trillions of people all lost in their own world but somehow each one of us has this state of mind at some point of time maybe just for moments. It depends on person to person as to when this state changes and how long it prevails. This is thus the time when the thoughts of our own mind play a devilish role in our life. This is the the moment when even surrounded by thousands of people you can hear a faint voice from the background telling you that you do not belong here. You feel that something else is controlling you, that someone has taken over you and you observe the whole scene from a whole new dimension. You don’t hear what people are saying but you just observe the complications of life and also how entangled are the people.

Alas, you have to come back and realise that you are here in between all this mess living a life that is somewhat mess at times and then you think and get back to this world with a smile.

Keep Moving.. Keep Learning..!!!

All of us dream of things that we want in our lives and also imagine a world of our dreams. We believe that life will some day give us things that we want and expect. We dream, we hope and we live.  Often these dreams may be unrealistic but we still dream of them. But to understand what the real world is all about we need to move out of our comfort zones and analyze the world. We need to take steps that lead us to learning and experiencing new things.

Well, I took the same step and relocated. New city, new people, new environment, new things and definitely new experiences. Life is all about realizing and learning. Isn't it?  Away from home, family and friends it becomes difficult to manage things initially but it is just a phase where we take time to settle but these are good learning days of life and here I am learning lots of things. Learning to be independent and manage myself that i thought would be easy but its not that easy. :P
Now here I am, 2 weeks in a new town somewhat happy and somewhat sad. But I will surely make it a great learning experience. Make moments. Live life and make it worth living. Life's amazing if you know how to make it amazing. Life's worth making realization if you know how to analyze and realize.

Finally, I would just like to add that Dream as much as you can. You never know when they just come live. :D

SECRET ADMIRER (FINAL PART)...!!!

….and yes i fell in love..!!!!

(BEAUTIFUL WORDS AREN'T THEY… )

Love, attraction, infatuation is something that we all go through at one phase of life. All these feelings seem to be all around us and we get captivated. The world seems the best place and people in it the most amazing creatures. (yes i call them creatures because they are very difficult to understand) Each one of us when in this phase of life feel that the world and this life is the best place to live in but believe me all that glitters in not gold. All the shining feeling soon comes to an end and the world becomes seems to be worst place and the people in the most disgusting creatures.

Same thing happened with our heroine of the story, the so called feeling of love soon disappeared and hatred took its place. The place where she loved going soon become a place which she most hated going. She felt a urge to run away where no one can ask her how it all went about. There was once a time when she hated when her "admiration" didn't come to the office but soon she started this feeling better as his presence brought goose-bumps in her stomach.

Things took a U-turn in her life. She was forced to think about her feelings for this one person who all of a sudden became so important that his decisions and choices affected her so much. 

After a lot of introspection, she realized that love and admiration are great feelings but there is no point sacrificing everything just for nothing. A person who cannot respect you and your feelings at the correct time doesn't deserve to be the one to be shown all your love. Being strong enough, she took the decisions to move on in life and move away from things that have been hurting. Soon came the time when this decision of hers came into play.

Admiration that was once formed without knowing anything about the other person can obviously not go away that easily but it can be respected. It can be nurtured to make yourself more strong and understanding the physics of living happily. Grudges and pain can be kept in the heart and lead to our own destruction or people can be forgiven and we can move forward with a head held high. 

At some point we do have realization that are necessary in life and can surely be a turning point in life.

"Making someone a part of your life is amazing but it is indeed beautiful if you are a part of the same person's life."

This person will always be special to her and his place will surely never be taken by anybody else but the lessons he has unintentionally taught her will always remain by her side even though she is moving herself away and she will be his "SECRET ADMIRER" and yes she had fallen in Love…!!!

WHO M I ???

I was once asked "What are YOU...??? What classifies and designs YOU...??? What is that influences YOU...??? What is that makes you what you are today..??

That was the time I was forced to think on the questions that just came by and I couldn't find a suitable answer. But today is the time that i have realized a perfect answer to these questions.

Its something that i wish to share here.

Something that influenced me and made me more firm on my roadmap of life.

So here it goes...

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..!!!"

Beauty lies Within..!!!

We all at some point of time get attracted to people. We let these people influence and feel ourself captivated. This is generally the time when we feel that a beauty is making us spell - bound and the concerned person becomes fascinating all of a sudden. 

But is physical beauty the actual measure of attraction. Do we really call a person beautiful if he or she is physically attractive. 

Well, we may do so but its does not last forever. With time the physical beauty fades and also the attraction vanishes. Soon we realize that the outside beauty can only last for moments before the reality and beauty of one's soul becomes the priority.

What actually matters is the inner beauty and this genuinely makes a person BEAUTIFUL...!!!

I personally find the most beautiful things about a person almost never physical.

Agony of Life...!!!

"Expectation is the root to all heartache…!! "

-William Shakespeare

Wonderfully quoted and so truly believed, this quote by William Shakespeare raises a sense of self question in me. It makes me think about the depth of life. It makes me think of my life.

Often we are in pain and curse ourself because we have been hurt by someone. But does someone really has the power to hurt us? No. Its us only who hurt our own self and then by some means blame others for being the cause for our pain and suffering.

I personally had many heartaches and the reason i felt it was because I expected from people. I believed that I will have my so-called close ones with me during my trauma times, they will support me and be by my side. Here is where the heartache begins. Just because of expectations. I expected things from people and it never seemed to have given the happiness i thought of, instead it left me with a feeling of insecurity and scars on my heart. The moment we count on something or somebody to be the source of our joy and happiness comes the time we allow intruders in our space. We realize and feel a discomfort and inconsistency. We ruin prospects of any upliftment and the journey of life becomes a stress.

Heartaches distress us and we feel a certain kind of resentment towards everyone and this bitterness gradually becomes a stain in our soul. This is very harmful indeed. So, why risk? and it is not a small risk. We expose ourself to the danger of repulsion and hard feelings towards the world.

So, the question that arises in my mind is Why Expect? Where does these expatiation arise from? 

The only valid answer coming to me is because we tend to the same things for others or believe that we will be doing it when the time comes. So, again the problem emerges from ourself only.

So, simply do things and acts of kindness without expecting the same in return as it will only lead to pain, suffering and wrath towards people.

“If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed.”

Its Only about Realization...!!!

Often we come to realize that things are not coming in the way we want them to be and feel depressed at the thought of it. We always are in a state of mind where we wish our past to be different and always wish for some things to happen in future. But life is what we live now. Its far beyond the dilemma of past and future. Its all about just today. We need to accept the past and also embrace the future with whatever it brings on us. The person we are today is just because of what we have seen and gone through in the past. Things are never to make us suffer, instead they redirect us to something far better than we can even think of at that particular moment.

Its never the end but its always about the path and journey to reach that end that needs to be cherished and believe me when you do look at your past, you will surely realize that everything that happened was to redirect you to something better.

MISTAKES...!!!

Each one of us make mistakes in life and their happens to be a time when we feel guilty and hate ourselves for these mistakes, but is making mistakes a crime or a sin. Not at all. Making mistakes is a part of growing, part of learning and surely a part of realizing.
We as individuals have no right to judge anyone or even our own self but the type of mistakes we make. Its just a stepping stone. If we keep the guilt of a mistake then we can never look at the new horizons it provides to us.

"Make mistakes.. learn from them but never keep the burden of it... coz it is going to hunch your back for sure...!!! "
