chhutti hai aayi:)

heyy bloggy!

vacation time finally!!...after days full of drudgery in the form of work pressures finally the day has come when i leave for my long awaited vacation!!

i just thought if i had not been slogging so hard in the last week would i have enjoyed this moment that has come now..?..a moment that i feel i have earned rather than it landing in my lap on its own...a moment when i am basking in the feeling of being free and happy:)

so is the case with life..the importance of brightness is only due to the fact that there is an equal and opposite darkness somewhere...happiness is important because there is sadness lurking around somewhere...white is appealing because there is black somewhere,,in all positive appeals only because negative is there somewhere....!!!!

enough i guesss!!..time to rush off...bags packed !..sneakers on...i run offff.....

Happpy diwali bloggy!!!:)

my comfort my love..!

heyy blogmaster!

did you know ek ladka aur ek ladki kabhi dost nahi reh sakte...???..ha ha !!..well u missed the classic block buster "maine pyar kiya" if you dont know this universal truth that applies solely to our conventional indian mindset...

many times i have wondered as to what might have led to the genesis of this statement..why do people presume that plain platonic friendship can never exist betwen two members of opposite gender..?

well a simple fact is that when you are friends with someone and you spend a considerable time with that person you start knowing the intricate details of that person..you become familiar with his/her fears..dreams...imaginations...habits..etc etc..you come to know the other person's annoying habits like chewing nails in anger...or the ability to make you laugh when you are seriously pissed off...you come to know or rather even predict the other person's statements ...now this overfamiliarity either puts you off the person or it draws you closer to him /her..draws you closer in the sense you accept their flaws without judging them...you are with them for what they are and not for what you want them to become....

love according to me is about being comfortable in the company of that person...if you can be your own natural idiotic bantering irritating self nothing better than that!

falling for someone without knowing them happens only in films...where you get tongue tied in front of the other person yet you fall in love with him/her...in real life love is never one sided.....what is one sided is always infatuation...if its love you will feel comfortable enough to voice what you feel...

that is where the comfort of a friendship comes along...mark me masking romantic inclination in the name of friendship never works...there has to be a clarity in both the relations only then can there be a gradual progression ...

a relationship solely based on romantic inclination may survive in the long run but a relationship where romance follows a long friendship is sure to last a life time:)

PS: should change the blog name to "Loveguru help service"!:)

intoxicated!!

heyyy bloggy!

so wats up..??..well excuse me if i sound bit weird because i am intoxicated..!!!...intoxicated with the magic called life..:)

its not as if i have taken birth today..that happened a long time ago...but i have started cherishing the fact that i am alive today now!

we take the fact that we are alive breathing and living for granted more than anything else in this world..its a miracle to wake up alive each morning..to be able to see the sun rise..to be able to smell the green grass wet with the night dew...to be able to hear the voice of your loved ones...to be able to say things you want to say...to be able to feel love aorund you..wrapping you in ways beyond your imagination....

i mean its a gift god gives us everyday....he says wake up sweetie !..and enjoy my creations and the life i have given you..!

most of the times we just brood over things..deciding whats right whats wrong..but one thing that i have learnt in life is that nothing that gives you inner happiness and peace can be wrong...

as said in the Levi's advertisement..go forth..i say we should all go forth and grab our share of happiness in this big big world!

life is so short...!its better to love it and live it..live like theres no tomorrow...live as you always wanted to..live with people you really like....do things your way..after all thats the only way you can end up not regretting later in life:)

so its time to realise the importance of being alive...importance of having a life..being happy for being alive and kicking!

so i say my friends!...get high with your beautiful life....get intoxicated just like i am...!!!:):)

PS: tu bhi tu hai main bhi main hu..duniya sari dekh ulat gayi...

ghatni hi thi ye bhi ghatna ghat te ghat te lo ye ghat gayi..

chorbazaari do naino ki..pehle thi aadat jo hat gayi..!!!:):)

being sexy!

hellow bloggy!

wish you could answer my question..."what do you mean by being sexy?"...because you cannot answer me let me figure this out for my own good self..!

plenty of adjectives float around us all teh time..cool ...cute... sweet... beautiful... fantastic and then the one adjective that attracts the ear buds teh most comes....sexy!..how does one define that...what actually is meant when we exclaim thts so sexy!

to me being sexy is a constant state ...it is a state that is exhibited when the right amount of confidence meets the right attitude...yes ..to me being confident is being sexy!

you meet a guy or a girl all decked in branded clothes from top to bottom..yet you get repulsed when you find a lack of confidence..after all what you wear doesnt make you sexy..you make what you wear sexy..

another quality that makes me feel a person is sexy is the art of having a good conversation with anyone...some people appeal only till you look at them from a distance...but the real sexiness lies in possessing the charm to carry on a lingering conversation that makes the other person want to talk to you endlessly..that to me is being sexy...

exuberance , liveliness and a spark in the eyes is also very sexy as it reflects ones basic attitude towards life...a person not comfortable in his own skin can seldom be sexy.....when you are comfortable with what you are and believe in what you do or think you automatically ooze out the sexiness or rather the oomph :):)

well..i guess for the time being i shall just say being your own self is being sexy!:)

PS: when someone says to me though you dont look sexy but you write sexy i dont take it as a compliment :(

the happiest day of my life..

hey bloggy!

some days are so vividly sketched in our minds that the moment we think about it , a smile lights up our faces...just as my face is lighted up right now!...one such day in my life was the day my brother was born...

i remember i always used to crib for a brother to play with as i was an only child till i was ten..i remember the day he was born i just went to meet my mom in the hospital..she was resting with a smile on her face ...i started to go towards her and she pointed to the bed next to her...bundled in white was the cutest baby i have come across...!!..i was not too small nor too old at that time....all i could say to my mom was" is he mine??..will he b there with us always?"..and everyone there just laughed..it was unbelievable to me actually to own a personal small cute brother (i mostly played with my friends' siblings)...the prospect of having him thrilled me!!

and then the years just flew by...we have never typically fought or hit each other as theres a considerable age difference between us ..but i have enjoyed bullying the poor baby a lot as i was the elder one..and he has borne all that in such a gentlemanly manner that i have to tell him..i love you bro!!

at times i feel he has suddenly grown up when he says" i have selected a suitable boy for u didu!"...but the moment i see the picture of JOHNCENA as the suitable guy i know he has miles to go still!!!

just praying that he has a wonderful and fulfilling life ahead...happy birthday cutie pie!!:)

the beauty secret!

hello bloggy!
the other day i was sporting a really hideous bright orange color nail paint on my toes...as expected i had to listen to an array of bad comments ranging from "where the hell is your sense of style??"...to "this girl is nuts!"...and the feminist in me sprung to action and i said i shall wear whatever color i feel like..thats the positive of being a girl!..i am privileged to wear such colors on my nails...something no guy can do!

anyways the point being i spotted some women workers going out of my office today..they had come to fill water from the water cooler...dressed in the traditional chaniya choli...with safety shoes ...and the beauty conscious me just sat haplessly gazing at their shining skin..no doubt they were all very dark skinned yet their skin had a glow that modern day corporate girls like me get only after shelling out a 1000 bucks for the gold facial..
i just sat gazing at them...they went in a group..laughing and teasing each other...smiles lighting up their faces...big bright genuine smiles...
and then it struck me..they are happy ..and contented with themselves..they live each day one at a time...working hard during the day..earning money ...buying dinner and being contented...that was the source of that glow!!
we live in an envelope of worries all teh time...worry about promotion..worry about looking drop dead gorgeous ..worry about losing weight ...worry about getting married..worry about n number of things!...it never stops...we just smile so less!
but some day life is going to stop..its better we stop before life stops!
stop to look at our own selves lovingly in the mirror...accepting all our own flaws...loving our selves without expectations of perfection...loving our work and all others around us!

life is simply running away...let us catch our breath before we run out of it!

PS: i care a damn about anyones comments on my nail color..but i did change it to bright pink!!:)

geet....

hey bloggy...

having being scolded for my irregularity in blogging i am back today....and what am i going to write today...i shall write the random thoughts coming in my mind today..a few lines...

khud ko khoya aur tujhko paya..

tujhko jo khoya to khud ko phir se paya..

khud ko paya to khud pe bhi aaj mujhe pyar aaya..

khud ko kho kar bhi kuch paya to kya khak wo paya..

dont know what i wrote!....more of a tongue twister i guess!..at times i feel a strange sense of peace around my self...a peace that makes me smile...that makes me happy...that soothes the turbulence in me...a peace that is the real me...

just listening to my favourite romantic numbers of all times..

chhukar mere mann ko kiya tune jo ishara...
chand mera dil...

deewana hua baadal saawan ki ghata chhayi.....

tum ho to gaata hai dil....

and all of a sudden the song that plays is...aaoge jab tum o saajna...angna phool khilenge...and i remember the movie jab we met...and cant stop smiling remembering geet in the movie...happily life smoothens out for geet in the end..what happens to someone who is real life geet ?....does she get the true love of her life...does she meet someone who deserves all the love and affection she has in her...

chanda ko taaku raaton mein...

hai zindagi teri haathon mein ..

palko pe jhilmil taare hain..

aana bhari barsaaton mein....

the song goes on....may be life also goes on ...and some day everything settles down on its own accord for every geet in the world....

dance like no ones watching!!!

hi bloggy!!

one two one two..one two one two!!!...and the steps go on and on ...!!!the steps of garba! ...the dance of the most colorful festival of gujarat!..despite being in gujarat all these years i never understood what drove people crazy enough to dance nine nights tirelessly but this year i am engulfed by this magic ..!!!

wow!!!...actually its not about just going to the garba ground and dancing the steps...its about being with friends and enjoying all the dancing..learning new steps teaching new steps and just letting go of yourself...letting go of all the inhibitions in your heart and just feeling the freedom surrounding you...

being a novice at this dance form i was actually fishing for some compliments the other day from a friend of mine ..i asked her "did u see me dance last night ?"..and she replied instantaneously.."of course..we were all seeing you !..actually we could not understand teh step you were doing but when we saw the guy ahead of you and the girl behind you we were able to decipher what you were trying to do..!"

now that was bad!..but who cares ..! i dance like no ones watching and is'nt that the real essence of dancing..!!

dancing is one of the purest form of meditation too ....just like music it embraces you and takes away all your worries tensions anxieties...i just felt when you dance all you think about is doing the step right ..no thoughts from the past no worries of the future disturb you...it gives you a relaxation that can be said to be divine....leaves you exhausted yet wanting more of it!

anyways i got to go and dress up as today is the last day of this wonderful navratri!!!...

PS: cant wait for the salsa classes to begin..!!!:):)
