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.

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'...

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 !!!!!

" 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........... 

My innermost fears.. DECODED...

Last night, it was a horrible account of all the things i have ever dreamt in life.. In a series of events, i discovered my hidden fears, most of them which i didnt know even exist.. Fear of losing someone, fear of failure, fear of isolation, fear of rejection and some more to make anyone mad.. It made me feel so helpless to see those events, as if its happening in real and I cant do much to overcome it.. It was all so apt that it clearly decoded somethings which are underplaying in my mind since long time now.. I thought discussing them and talking it out could be a solution to it but the more I think about it, the more I get engrossed in its complexity! I really dont know if these dreams have some real-life interpretation and inference, but it leaves you distressed and thinking about what life has in stores for you........

Written at 12.30 a.m, 3rd april 2009...

Wonder what a day you had, when you thought all your problems have ended and there's nothing that can come in the way of your dreams..You get more casual and take for granted that things will get your way now..

Just then, you get a knock that 'Hello, there is something known as GOD too' and yes, he'll always be there to show his presence by making things happen that you cant even imagine.. I am not criticising him even though i am the latest victim, just because i know that whatever god plans happens for our good only even if initially it doesnt seem so..

The 'only' good i can see is that the times like these make you realise that you are valued and lucky enough to have understanding people around you..

I am happy to be with such souls and i am keeping my fingers crossed to see what happens next... 

*sigh*

Treading on a path was never my choice....

leaving it, was mine !!

What I got and what I lost was nothing...

When I saw others in line!!

There's no reason to lose hope...

When you know, u can always try to shine !!!!!

A ray of light hopes to brighten up the future...
But uncertainty is casted over by the clouds which await the light....!!!

A wandering thought....

Joy is limited, why cant it be infinite..??
Love is divine, why cant we ever hold it tight..??
Stars are beautiful, why do they only sparkle at night..??
Birds are free, why cant they take a flight..??
Life is a book, why cant we read it right..?????

The world is mean, thought once it could be a dream...
Things seemed pleasant, but its always been a lesson...
There is nothing i feel, there is nothing i can try...
There is nothing which further makes me cry...

I just want 'peace' and wish to enjoy every moment of it with 'sigh'....!!!

A year and still going strong...

I started blogging a year back and I must say it has been a great experience since then. It all started when i was going through a rough phase in life and putting things into words gave me peace which even talking to anyone didnt give...
It was one of the times that i discovered i could be such good with words..
(giving me an alternative career in case the IT industry kicks me out, lolz...)
I learnt from what came my way and made it a point so that even others could learn something from it.. It also gave me a reason to stay online at midnight... ;)
This whole experience of writing down 'what you think' has made me more organised and positive.
I wish 'LifeSpirit' continues the same way...
I would love to mention my inspiration for this, the 'N'... ('nishi' for others)
A true critic n supporter, i can never forget what she means to me..Thanx to all my friends for reading all the posts, providing great enthusiasm...
(and commenting even if they were forced to.. :D)
Cheers....!!!
:)

There are times when the road seems silent and ugly...
There are things which you cant make others understand easily...
And, there are moments which simply make you feel so "LONELY"....

If death meant just leaving the stage long enough
to change the costume and come back as a new character......

Would You slow down or speed up????

"The Golden Days"

As I sit and think with my eyes open wide,,
what would life be if memories go out of sight???

The times we spent under that sky,,
were the best of my life for which anyone would die...

The freedom we enjoyed, the care which nourished..
It can never go out of mind even though they get diminished!!!

The things we shared, made dreams so real...
It made me ask "can life be so clear???"

Life seemed beautiful and everything seemed gold...
There was nothing I could have asked for more !!!

Then came a time when we split like the beads of a necklace,,
each going in its own direction and accepting the changes with grace...

For once I think life's great,,
yet it can never match the charmed that stayed !!!

When life seems tough and things don't get on,,
I wish I could live those moments once for all....

Beyond any doubt, I can say....
what life made me, is my moulding in that way...!!!!

This is what i feel even though all is right,There seems a sudden upheavel even when life is bright....

The Heart swings with it,
The Mind fears it....

The shackles from the past bring a burden,
which the heart wishes to lighten....

Back in the mind, the war continues,
Is the heart right or the deviation continues ??

The past is light and the future is bright,
but what the present offers, is it right ??

The heart wishes to break into
the arms of the freedom that awaits....

The mind strains,
as to what seems freedom may only give pain....

Is the heart right or the brain,
the tussle leaves me thinkng in vain !!!!

The worst thing in life is ATTACHMENT....

when you lose it,,

you lose everything....

The best thing is LONELINESS...

because when u lose it,,

you gain everything!!!
