Education will get you a great job,
a job will get you money..

With money, you can buy gifts,
gifts can bring in happiness..

But it can never match up your physical presence, because thats PRICELESS!

I wish I could be home today to 'see' and feel happiness.

Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end.



Life is about 'not knowing', 'having to change', 'taking the moment' and 'making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next'.


Its A Delicious ambiguity!

The Four beautiful thoughts of Life:

Look back & Get Experience

Look Forward & See Hope

Look Around & Find Reality

Look Within & Find Yourself !

Life is crazy!

Finally after four months of fretting, frustation and nagging, I got what I was waiting for long... My joining date!  :)
It wasnt easy though, many road blocks hinted that it might not be my destiny..
And now that I am here, I really wish that I could get some more days to prepare and enjoy.. 
Such is life. once you get something you desire, you are left with a thought 'what next?'


I am equally excited for the new phase and sad because I'll miss these old days.. Kinda mixed emotions :Venturing into a whole new world with aspirations of success (something which I always wanted), while separating from my dear ones.. 
Change is on the cards now.. A little more responsibility, less time for family / friends, no more TP days..
But the best part of all : getting a slice of life in my own plate!
Time and destiny knows whats in store, good or bad but atleast I am getting to live my dream.. No feeling better than this happiness!

Life gives you the best when you expect the least!

Nobody is perfect!! and neither are their lives....

There may be people who may have everything but still they are not happy
and contented....we may even find people who may have nothing or just enough but
they sure are glad and joyful for whatever they have!!!

LIFE is full of problems and everybody,,yes EVERYBODY gets an equal share of it
with time...
What is more important is staying calm in such situations and
having faith in God that :
"THIS SHALL ALSO PASS THROUGH"!!!!

Everybody smiles during Happy times but the JOY of smiling through troubles
is indeed more SPECIAL......

When YOU are in trouble and pain,,just look at the people around U
and analyse their problems....The very next moment,your own pain and agony will
really seem insignificant in front of them!!

after this,,your sole aim would me to make them happy and then u will gradually
realise that your own problem disappears..

THATS the JOY of GIVING and HELPING others!!!!!!

So, next time you face a problem,,trust GOD and thank him for all the
things he has given you in life..

and always remember.........
# A DARK, CLOUDY, RAINY NIGHT IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY A BRIGHT SUNSHINE!!!
never lose HOPE.


ALWAYS Acknowledge and love whatever you have.

A lot can happen over Coffee

Few days back, I met an Old friend in Connaught Place... Catching up with each others' lives, cherishing some good old memories was in the agenda, had a wonderful day after a long time... :)
We reached Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) for a cup of coffee...

There was a peculiar thing about the crowd, all the different sets of people bonded by a single thing : 'Coffee'.
A group of girlfriends chatting their way to glory with each sip from the tall glasses.. Few elder people discussing a property deal.. A guy, so engrossed in copying some college notes that he didnt even realise that his mocktail was over..  A cute kid, sitting next to his mom, waiting for his scoop of ice cream.... and lastly, me n my friend... wrapping up the conversations since we were leaving...
Someone rightly said 'A lot can happen over Coffee'...

Life ka plan....

Post diwali, life is seeming dull again! The same old anxiety of searching jobs and wait for the accy DOJ is back again! in between all of these , I got the 'shock' of my life today... Some regard it as an auspicious beginning...and all I have to say is..  "no comments"....

Well, I can only imagine a bulldozer crushing my dreams now...

With all the things I have encountered in the last few months, I can seriously make out that this was certainly not my  'life ka plan'...

Till now, I would have joined either Infy or Accy, staying independently and earning well too....enjoying with friends....discovering new cities through my camera....much more things like these that I always aspired in life!

But then thats god's game plan...you never get what you want, you always get what you needed the most! and that always remains a secret to us...

I am in a great dilemma as to what this new thing will add to my life... and whether I'll be left with any regrets abt it later....

First of all.....

No matter how much things happen in our life and how many times we experience the same thing but the first time when it happens holds a very special place in our hearts... As kids, the first time you got that trophy, the first girl/guy who smiled at you (making you mad), your first tension moments before crucial exams, the first time you got hurt and cried loads are memorable... 

It could also be the first time you experienced butterflies in your stomach on seeing someone, your first date, the first night out, the first kiss, your first fat pay check, The first time when you actually missed someone so greatly, and many such things...

Some of these things may get better with time but the joy which we get the first time is priceless! 

PS1: Today was my 'first' off campus placement drive..never thought I'll see this day but the experience was worth it!

PS2: This post marks my '2nd' blog anniversary.. hope it keeps going better! :)

Some of the Beautiful and Precious moments of life !!!!

* Watching the sunset, while standing on a hill top...


* Holding hands with your beloved and falling in love all over again...


* Enjoying a feast of pakoras and jalebi on a rainy day...


*  Sitting alone on the terrace,, and enjoying the winds along with your favourite music... 

*  The day you laughed out so much that your cheeks actually started paining....


*  Chatting with your friends,, mostly at the odd hours of the day...


*  A cute, little baby smiling at you which turns you on even on a bad day...


*  Sitting and Listening to your elders,, for what life experiences they have...


*  Getting up before the alarm goes off,, only to realise that you still have an hour to sleep...


*  Meeting up your friends after a long time and realising together the memories...


*  Catching the glimpse of someone who is special, unexpectedly...


*  Giving up in certain situations,, just to see the significant others rejoice and celebrate...

* The times which made you think that "Life cant get better than this, its already the BEST"..!!!!

It is these moments that make up life,,, so preserve them in your heart forever!!!

Its easy to laugh at others but very difficult to make them laugh!!

Its easy to make people cry but difficult to cry with them and cheer them up again!!

Its easy to live a lifetime and do nothing but difficult to make it worth
and live upto expectations!!

So, trust yourself and always go ahead for the tough things.....

because remember there is always an EASY way out in case you dont succeed !!!!!

GAP

Well, it wasnt in my routine today to sit here and waste another hour, checking useless mails and waiting for the important ones! 

Came back home in the afternoon and planned to watch 'Gulaal' with family at home!

Yeah, its 'A' certified! but I don't mind watching such stuff with family unless its gets worst explicit! Dialogues can always be digested, I think.......gulp! :P

As soon as the movie started I wondered whether its certified due to the dialogues or something else! I saw DEV D, no smoking and black friday... thought that the director wont get vulgar than that!

Then, a scene came and I was shown the way out of the hall by mom! It was where a college student was being abused by some people in the hostel... cuss words u know! I literally burst into laughter after hearing such words in a row... and my mom furious! :D 

Nothing new for me, I have heard them enough during my four years of college..... but maybe she didnt knew it!

Dad ws pretty chilled like always! But mom couldnt stand her girl discussing about cuss words with her parents! So out was I....

Thats why we have the so called 'gen GAP'.... The same stuff you can talk with friends, but not parents... even if you are ready, they arent.... 

Hope she understands my point someday! 

Till then, I am on............

:) 

Life is changing.....

Ever since we are born, we undergo a series of changes before we die.... Initially brought up at home with love and care, moving to school and then laying the foundations of our career and much more keeps us busy throughout!

The changes whether good or bad have a sole purpose, to show us the various shades of life... I can relate to it more now  since I am opposing the current change in life... College has sadly ended, so have the fun filled days, most of the friends busy with their own lives, Bro has moved out for his training! Unexpected things happening on the cards! There seems a sudden pause to all the good things earlier in life! Feelings of emptiness and loneliness are cropping up...

Next maybe my turn to move out of home.. Its amazing to realise that I always wanted this freedom but now that I am very close to it, I dont feel like clinching it!

My life is changing and I want to ask.......

Why???

LoVe v/s No LoVe

10 reasons not to be in LOVE....

1. If you are a guy....

Simply because you have to worry about the phone bills and your growing bankruptcy!

2. If you use DOLPHIN network...

Because more than the tension of being caught, you'll end up worrying about the call drops!

3. If you cant lie to your parents about your whereabouts...

Thats simple, no explanation needed!

4. If you possess less patience and have more expectations...

This is [usually] the girls' department, though the guys suffer the most!

5. Ask a guy who has fallen out of love and he'll give you 5 more!

and....

ONE reason to be in love.....

"It gives you millions of new reasons to stay alive!"

The ultimate choice is yours!

:)

When life sucks big time......

Yeah it does.... 

So I am back with this post which almost marks my graduation from engineering to the broad new world.. I always waited for this time all through the four years, with so many dreams and aspirations... Thought it would be easy but it isnt so... But then thats' life, unpredictable and surprising...

Its been close to a month now (more than the desired break i could ever ask for) and being a 'vella' sucks big time... With nothing substantial to do, the mind gets stuffed with endless discussions about the future... :P

All you can do is watch that idiot box, some nasty bollywood disasters, check the orkut account to find no new scraps... N spend a lifetime waiting to get your hands on something interesting....

I pray that God forbids even enemies from such times....

Baby, I am bored to death! 

:(

Pieces of 'ME'

Sometimes it feels like a big loser, who just spent good years of life doing nothing....

Sometimes an achiever, when I look at the things I learnt !

Sometimes a big dose of emotions encompasses....

Sometimes the really lighter side surprises, that I myself havent unearthed...

Sometimes Too serious about rules and life.....

and sometimes seeking out chances to overcome them....

Calm, passionate while doing things which I always love to do...

And sometimes a wild bully if things dont work my way....

always fighting and running to attain things.....

and sometimes a silent drawback to get out from this race.....

Sometimes it feels great to be loved and cheered.....

and sometimes It feels beautiful to love and give....

Sometimes I cant stop speaking.....

and sometimes I wish if the other side could speak and I can listen silently.......

" Tujhme agar pyaas hai, baarish ka ghar bhi paas hai...

    Roke tujhe koi kyun bhalaa, sang sang tere aakash hai...

    Beh chal kahi, udd chal kahi...

    Dil khush jaha, teri toh manzil hai wahi...."

Sometimes we never get to know how far we get to the other end. It is actually difficult to imagine but things can always be worked in the direction we want.. There were always doubts and fears regarding the things I experienced but ultimately it added to my knowledge each time and made me more positive! It initially starts off on a different perspective and ends up differently too....I thought i could bring up a change in someone's life but it ended up changing my own, maybe for the better or maybe not, that the future will decide! Most of the times, I saw what happened and heard what the others had to say..without giving in more effort to what I wanted and how.. Its like having your own opinion but not letting it out and spending a lifetime thinking about as to whether it is right or wrong.. Barriers crop in when we are least sure about what we wish and often hesitate to work towards it... A countless number of things get left out in this race between what should be done and what not...

Its been ages now, that we come out of our shells and have a broader perspective about what we want and stand by our actions. Because ultimately its our life and we are responsible for it.. Nobody can carry its burden on their shoulders! Decide once upon things which will go with us in the long run in which you believe and stand by them forever..

and in case you get into trouble , god is always there to guide you..  silently listen to him!  

Life.........

It initially comes up as a surprise when u start enjoying it....

It often makes you happy, and sad for the same thing....

It drives you to think the best (yet unachievable), but expect the worst too....

It gives you the power to heal others when you yourself are wounded....

It shows you what you want and gives you what you need the most...

Still this mystery called life keeps you grounded !!!

Clueless...........

Often I doubt, did I choose the wrong path or the tracks got changed midway...

Often I feel, do I have that importance or its all temporary...

Often I think, what i wanted did I ever get it...

Often I question, when will i stop making the same mistakes each time...

Often I wonder, When Will I lead my own life...

where things will be governed the way i wish them...........
