Ring in the New!!!!!!!

As today is the last day of the year 2010, my heart is filled with gratitude for the year gone by. No one’s life in the last year has been 100% perfect, but yes it is 100% complete. We all have in our own possible ways been able to give our very best to make our life and the people we love dearly lives better.

We all have gone through happy and sad moments, satisfying and disappointing moments, exciting and boring moments. And when u look back you will remember that it was upto you to be how you wanted to be. It’s all a state of mind.

As we start the New Year, let’s all be hopeful about it. I remembered these lines I had read long back and it comes back to me as we start a new year tomorrow…Let us all remind ourselves that:

Life is short, break the rules,

Forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably,

And never regret anything that made you smile.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.

So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. 
~ Mark Twain ~

Let’s live our lives the way we always wanted to, lets live it freely. Let’s listen to our hearts and know what God is saying to us.

Let’s thank God for everything… for the family and friends who have always been with us, for making our life beautiful, who have always put up with us inspite of our moods, for our colleagues who have made life beautiful in their own way, for the various people we interact, who bring a smile on our face, for the children we meet, who teach us so many things, for people who become family instantly.

Let us thank God for the laughter we have shared, the sorrows we have cried about, the regrets we have had, the excitement we have felt, the hope we have experienced, the presence of God we have felt, the wind we have felt on a sunny day, the sun we have experienced on a gloomy day, the beautiful life that has been gifted to us.

We may have may resolutions this year, we might have planned many tasks this year, but remember to enjoy those moments, remember to cherish them and thank God for them, remember to live those moments with joy and peace.

The moment that has gone by will never come back…. So LIVE it…

Thy Will be Done

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move.
Matthew 17:20

Well, this verse has always been the most inspirational verse for me, knowing well that I strongly believe in the Alchemist theory. I believe that if you have faith, everything is possible. But this has brought me to realize certain more truths about the Bible. I have always believed in the concept of God’s will too. The “Our Father” that we pray also says, “Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” This thought bought me to the first miracle that Jesus performed. The conversion of water into wine. This is the extract from the Bible:

¹ On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, ²and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. ³ When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

   ⁴ “Mother, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

 ⁵ His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

And then Jesus performed his first miracle. The authorization that his mother gave, let him perform the first miracle. This authorization that God gives us, governs our lives.

Then I wonder, what is God’s will in my life? And I get the answer. I know God’s plan for me, because he is working his plan in my life, right now, every moment of my life is his Will.

We sometimes might have tremendous faith in something, in some people, but we are more than once disappointed. We then know it in our hearts, that it was God’s Will, it has always been God’s will. And God’s Will works through us. Through our hearts. So always listen to your heart. It will reveal to you the Will, it will unfold to you God’s plan. It will lead you to happiness, which u thought never existed.

Also, sometimes in living God’s plan, we might come across different phases in our life. Happy one’s and sad one’s and you might also wonder how can this bad phase be the Will of God? How could God let this happen? But when the bad phase is over, you will know the answer in your heart. I cannot reveal what you will experience, will be different for different feelings. But you will know and understand that whatever happens, happens for good :-). And just that’s the final statement. Because there is a time for everything…….

Another verse from the Bible:

There is a time for everything,
   and a season for every activity under the heavens:

 ² a time to be born and a time to die,
   a time to plant and a time to uproot,
 ³ a time to kill and a time to heal,
   a time to tear down and a time to build,
 ⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh,
   a time to mourn and a time to dance,
 ⁵ a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
   a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
 ⁶ a time to search and a time to give up,
   a time to keep and a time to throw away,
 ⁷ a time to tear and a time to mend,
   a time to be silent and a time to speak,
 ⁸ a time to love and a time to hate,
   a time for war and a time for peace.

May we live out God’s plan in our lives by realizing it in our hearts. By listening to our hearts. We should never stop doing it. Because our heart knows things that only God can reveal it to us.

Peace and Love

Sometimes, you don’t know what you are searching for. You don’t know whether it is love, forgiveness, honesty, peace, love, independence, time. You have so many questions but you don’t have one single answer. You feel so many things, but you cannot express those feelings. You are thinking so many things but you cannot actually do anything. It is when things are the lowest, when things are most dark that you will find light.

But then you receive something unexpectedly, and you realize that you were searching for this thing, and you get a sense of being complete, you become one with yourself.

In a moment you understand everything, that one moment answers all your questions, it clears all your doubts, it soothes all your pain and hurt, and it brings you to a point of satisfaction, of peace in your heart.

You sometimes feel there is chaos all around you, in the traffic, on the streets, in office, everywhere. And you search for peace there. But you will find peace in the midst of all the noise, and still be calm in your heart.

What is peace? Peace is being in harmony with yourself, to have no grudges against anyone, to have no vengeance towards anyone, to love yourself, to trust yourself, and to have the sense of knowledge that you haven’t done anything wrong. This is peace for me. And here when I say wrong, doesn’t mean ethically wrong, it just means that as per how wish to live your life, you have taken the right decisions and you have never regretted those decisions.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. This is a verse from the Bible. John 14:27.

During this Christmas season, Christ came in the world to bring peace, joy, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love. During the last 4 Sundays at Church, each Sunday was a reflection on each virtue, and each virtue is complete only with love. Yesterday the sermon was on love, and how true that the priest said, that human love is so imperfect in many ways, we should seek perfect love in God. God’s love is unconditional, with no boundaries.

As Christmas is approaching, I was just wondering, now as its Jesus’s Birthday, everywhere there is an environment of joy, of parties, of giving and taking of gifts, but in all this we have all forgotten that it is Jesus’s birthday. What is my gift to Jesus this Christmas? We all throw parties, and make merry, but do we invite Jesus in this party? Are we happy because he came into this world, or do we get another holiday and forget him?

This Christmas think what we can do for God? What will God expect us to give him? It surely isn’t any material thing, it isn’t anything to do with the world.

Look deep inside your heart and see what God expects you to give Him. What will make Jesus happy? We all know Jesus wants us to be happy and peaceful, so he would want us to give him what we don’t want, it might be our imperfect heart, might be all the pain and hurt buried deep down in our heart, it can be hate and resentment that we haven’t forgotten. This Christmas give your life, your whole self, your heart, to Him, the way it is, imperfect, so that he can perfect it in His love.

Band Baaja Baarat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some things will never go out of fashion in India. Weddings and Bollywood top that list. Bring these two elements together and you have the ultimate recipe for a full on “dhamaal”. And that is exactly what Maneesh Sharma deftly delivers in Band Baaja Baraat.  Kudos…. on such a wonderful effort.

Yesterday I saw this movie, and I totally absolutely, actually loved it with all my heart. I had liked all movies I saw in the recent past, Jhootha hi sahi….Break ke Baad etc… but I guess when I saw this movie, I actually “loved” it!!!!!!!!!! Somehow, it is a perfect movie if you are looking for fun and masti !!!!

What I love about the movie is that 10 minutes into the film and you get drawn to their world: The setting, the ambience, the lingo, the accent, the overall tone and mood transport you to North India (precisely Dilli) instantly. Just Loved the Lead pair (great chemistry), the creative n courageous Shruti, the slacker yet “honhar” Bittu, the “Tarkeebein” up their sleeves, the Shaadi Mubarak idea, the story is absolutely great, the “Dilli” lingo, the colloquialism (I mean, honestly, who describes a passionate, romantic episode as “kaand” ;) with such authenticity), Bittu’s style of confessing that he loves her,…… oh my god ….I was so so happy and smiling all the way :-)

Oh I was laughing and crying (at few times only) and totally enjoying the movie :-)

Anushka Sharma has done a fantastic job as usual. It is newbie Ranveer who is the surprise package….he  actually catches you unawares in  emotional moments, which he enacts so well. Loved both of them.

Beneath all the vibrant color schemes, the Janakpuri bonhomie and Sainik Farms elegance and the “dhinchak” music,( which, by the way, is one of the greatest assets of this movie…..really, when “ainvayi ainvayi” plays, the laziest person will be on his/her feet) BBB is a quintessential love story. Bittu and Shruti meet each other, become partners, then friends and finally fall in love, all against the backdrop of various weddings. They grow apart, then realize their love, again, in weddings they plan.

It is mostly a “opposites attract” concept, which has been the most useful ingredient for most successful love stories in the world.

And even the fact that a girl and boy can never just be best friends, they can be best friends if there is nothing more than friendship in that relationship. But who defines the thin line of separation between love and friendship? This is a very thin line, and once u have crossed it there is no coming back once u have experienced this love.

All in all, it was an absolutely thrilling happy enjoyable experience. This is a movie about our dreams, small and big…and their fulfillment, our mistakes and the amends we make for it, the opportunities we miss and the ones we , thankfully, don’t because of which we finally achieve our happiness, the ups and downs, our brightest hopes and darkest fears, friendship, and most importantly love. Love, which touches your life when you least expect it, which may appear to put a “roda” in your plans and throw your life out of balance, but brings you unimaginable happiness, if only you could have the courage to let go of your inhibitions and accept it. Actually, Life is this big, grand Indian wedding….. Not everything will go according to plan, but you’ll always know how to get it right. And while you are at it, go make merry… have FUN!!!! That’s what the movie says J enjoy it!!!!

The cLiMb

I can almost see it

That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

"The Climb" is a song performed by American recording artist and actress Miley Cyrus, for the 2009 film Hannah Montana: The Movie. The song was written by Jessi Alexander and Jon Mabe.

True Love

Life is filled with highs and lows

But you have always been with me through

Your love is what strengthens me

And lets me the beautiful world see

You are always making me smile

Even when I don’t feel like

Your love is so pure

It makes me feel so secure

I know no matter what

You will always be faithful

You are always trying to make

My life more colorful

When I look in your eyes

I see the love and trust

That will only but

Grow and grow in years

Looking at you makes me believe

That love is not only giving

But also in receiving

Love is with all ur heart trusting

And sometimes when I am lonely

U will be there to hug me

You will always hold me close

To your heart and soul

When our lives are over

And we grow old together

We will happily look back and smile

For a wonderful life together

Dream a Dream

We as humans can dream, we can have goals and the wonderful part about all this is God has given us the ability to establish goals, to live out those dreams. Think of it: We can look deep within our hearts and dream of a better situation for ourselves and our families. But what makes this even more powerful is that we have also been given the ability to not only dream but to pursue those dreams and not only to pursue but achieve them.



What are your dreams and goals? This isn't what you already have or what you have done, but what you want. Have you ever really sat down and thought through your life and decided what you really want? Have you ever taken the time to truly reflect, to listen quietly to your heart, to see what dreams live within you? Your dreams are there. Everyone has them. They may live right on the surface, or they may be buried deep from years of others telling you they were foolish, but they are there.

So how do we know what our dreams are? This is an interesting process and it relates primarily to the art of listening. This is not listening to others; it is listening to yourself. If we listen to others, we hear their plans and dreams (and many will try to put their plans and dreams on us). If we listen to others, we can never be fulfilled. We will only chase elusive dreams that are not rooted deep within us. No, we must listen to our own hearts.


How do we listen to our hearts?


Take time to be quiet. This is something that we don't do enough in this busy world of ours. We are always in a hurry and find no time to listen to our heart. Our hearts are meant for times of quiet, to peer deep within. It is when we do this that our hearts are set free to soar and take flight on the wings of our own dreams! Take some quiet "dream time" this week. No other people. No cell phone. No computer. Just you, a pad, a pen, and your thoughts.


Think about what really thrills you. When you are quiet, think about those things that really get your blood moving. What would you LOVE to do, either for fun or for a living? What would you love to accomplish? What would you try if you knew you would happy at the end of it? What thoughts move your heart into a state of excitement and joy? When you answer these questions you will feel Great. It is only when we get to this point that we experience what Our dreams are!


Write down all of your dreams as you have them. Don't think of any as too outlandish or foolish – remember, you're dreaming! Let the thoughts fly and take careful record.


Now, prioritize those dreams. Which are most important? Which are most feasible? Which would you love to do the most? Put them in the order in which you will actually try to attain them. Remember, we are moving toward action, not just dreaming.


Here is the big picture: Life is too short to not pursue your dreams. Someday your life will near its end and all you will be able to do is look backwards. You can reflect with joy or regret. Those who dream, who set goals and act on them to live out their dreams are those who live lives of joy and have a sense of peace when they near the end of their lives. They have finished well, for themselves and for their families.


Remember: These are the dreams and goals that are born out of your heart and mind. These are the goals that are unique to you and come from who you were created to be and gifted to become. Your specific goals are what you want to attain because they are what will make your life joyful and complete in its true sense…….


So Dream a dream :-) :-)

P.S.: well, i wouldnt take credit for the entire write-up (its a combined effort of ppl who inspire me, what we discuss, whats been in the deep of my heart from always, and finding the same words whats in my heart and mind)...

There is ALWAYS room for hope!!!!

The Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces. – Isaiah 25:8



Yesterday was the first Sunday of Advent (that’s Christmas time), it’s the time for hope, for happiness as the birth of Jesus Christ symbolizes that. This particular verse from the Bible expresses the belief that no matter what happens to us, God will be there to comfort and support us. It’s amazing how “hope” can change one’s life. It can bring a smile on a person’s face who is going to face death soon, but is just happy that he can see the sunrise for the next day. Hope many a times is the sole reason for many people to live… to be happy…. To maintain hope in our world is difficult. With so many countries at war, so many people living in fear, no peace and happiness, so many illnesses, and the personal difficulties every person faces, it is difficult to have hope. But in spite of that, there is always room for Hope. First we hope that nothing bad will ever happen to us, then we hope that we will get through the tough things that do happen, then we hope that god will be there to wipe away our tears as we search for relief and consolation….



There is always room for hope…………………… enough room……………

Artist: Ustad Rashid Khan

one of my favourite songs :)

Aaoge Jab Tum O Saajana - 2

Angana Phool Khilenge
Barsega Saawan, Barsega Saawan Jhoom Jhoomke
Do Dil Aise Milenge
Aaoge Jab Tum O Saajana, Angana Phool Khilenge

Naina Tere Kajraare Hai, Naino Pe Hum Dil Haare Hai
Anjaane Hi Tere Naino Ne Waade Kiye Kayi Saare Hai
Saanson Ki Lay Madham Chalein, Tose Gaye
(Barasega Saawan - 2) Jhoom Jhoomke, Do Dil Aise Milenge

Aaoge Jab Tum Ho Saajana, Angana Phool Khilenge
Chanda Ko Taaku Raaton Mein, Hai Zindagi Tere Haanthon Mein
Palkon Pe Jhilmil Taarein Hain, Aana Bhari Barsaaton Mein
Sapnon Ka Jahaan, Hoga Kela Kela

(Barasega Saawan - 2) Jhoom Jhoomke, Do Dil Aise Milenge

Simply Bollywood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I saw the movie “jab we met” and loved the movie once again….. I still don’t know whether it’s the truth of life (have to still realize this difficult part of life ;-)) or they just show some “so called facts” in each movie….


Most of the movies are firstly based on love…. Because that’s the only emotion which has varied facets to it, an emotion which can be described in innumerable ways, which can be felt in exceptionally unusual ways by different individuals.

And most of the movies either fall in three categories: one where the girl/boy has experienced a break up, or either the boy/girl is trying to win back the true love of their life, or how two totally opposite (in every way) individual’s fall in love…

Well lately I have come across many movies which involve a break up (because there seems to be a lot of movies releasing on this subject, seriously ;-) like anjaana anjaani, jhootha hi sahi) and there is one positive thing about this disappointing thing….. That you surely find your true love after your breakup, whatever may happen. So in a way if your heart breaks you will be sure that you will surely find your true love. The only common thing in all movies is that the person who brings the person out of this breakup mess is his/her true love. Here is where the similarity ends…

Here my only nagging question in mind is “does it always have to be your soul mate who will bring you out of this mess?” cant it be any other friend... A best friend… a person who just understands you… not necessarily your soul mate… I tried to think about this a lot…

And I think I got the answer, a friend/ a best friend/ a person who understands your situation will be able to keep you happy for a while… not only for a little while but even for a really long time too….

But only your soul mate will heal you of the past hurt and bring alive the true love :-). Only your soul mate will fill in the void…….that was left by a previous person……….

And well while I was voicing my thoughts with one of my special friend I got another insight to this. When you are trying to win back your love and have tried the usual emotion of “jealousy” and you are probably doing natak of pyaar with another person hoping that your “so called” first true love realizes it you actually fall in love with the person with whom you are doing natak. (Pyaar toh hona hi tha, Aap ki khatir)

Hehehe :-) ;-) Bollywood rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope..................... for a wonderful tomorrow

Beautiful memories of the past
Makes it hard to believe that your first true love dint last
Every memory good or bad
Reminds you of the wonderful time u had

U realize why u r sad
U also know what will make u glad
But every time you try to move on
The hope in your heart also builds on

What your heart needs is an assurance
That you’ll be happy in the future
That you’ll be ready to give yourself a chance
To love and give more and more

You need God to tell you
That your heart will love again
That someday u will find the love true
That will make a dull day seem bright then

That one day your heart will trust someone
More than anyone it will learn to trust yourself again
And in spite of the hurt in your heart
You’ll trust yourself to be faithful again

That you’ll not doubt yourself for not loving with all your heart
That every action you’ll do will be out of love
That you’ll try to make a brand new start
With blessings from God above

Where the memories of the past hurt won’t harm you…
Nor will you have any bitter memories
It will be a new found love
For which you will be grateful

One day you’ll know that all it takes to start over again.
Is to accept things with serenity and a little faith
And to know that you live your life just once
And not living in the past

And you’ll thank god for the way your life has been
For you couldn’t think of a more beautiful life to live
That ul find a place that’s called a safe heaven
Where the hope of love will stay alive...............

Life is how YOU make it

Well, everyone must have heard it many times that Life is how you make it…. Well I strongly believe in it :-)


Because my life has been what I have made it… my life has been interesting, adventurous, full, complete, wonderful, beautiful, scary (at times when I don’t know how did I get in this situation ;-)), hilarious, happy, sad, disappointing, confused, thrilling :P but most of the times funny would describe it :-)

Well I am strongly stating this because recently I have encountered another of “the alchemist” experience.

Well as u all must know (though some of you who are not Harry Potter fans might have just ignored the posters and the trailers) that the movie “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part-1” is releasing on the 19th November 16, 2010 in India and worldwide I guess…. But South Africa chooses to be a little hatke…. They are showing preview shows on the 19th and 21st, and officially releasing it on the 24th November 2010. Really wonder why!!!!

Well, first of all, I didn’t know that the “Gauteng Film Commission” (that’s the film Committee in the state of Gauteng in which lies the city Johannesburg) has decided to only release “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Part 1” on the 24th so I went on Friday the 12th, evening to the theatre so I could get tickets for the 21st as I am eagerly waiting to watch the movie.

I reach the theatre after a half hour drive. The theatre’s called Montecasino and its basically an Entertainment area with a Casino, theatre, 10 movie screens, coffee shops, restaurants, people playing music and basically one of the few places that’s gun safe in South Africa and open till late in the night (the other malls here close at 6 or latest 7 and carrying a gun here is for your own safety :-)). It is one of those romantic places where u see a lot of couples just roaming around or having coffee. Well I go straight to the ticket counter (I have the club card so have a different queue to follow). I enquire about tickets for 21st, and I get the weirdest answer from the lady behind the counter saying “well, you have to go and purchase the “YOU” magazine and ul get the tickets, Ma’am.”

When she said that, I certainly didn’t believe her and laughed it off thinking to myself what a crazy idea to sell tickets only when you buy a certain magazine. And to think of me as being foolish I dint even confirm with her or ask too many questions. I simply thought that she was having a really busy day and had gone a little insane on a Friday evening telling me to buy a magazine ;-).

Well anyways I took a ticket for “Life as we know it” for a Sunday show and then I spend the remaining evening wandering around and reading my book (I always carry a book with me and my recent favorite author is Nicholas Sparks) sitting on one of the benches meant for couples :P.

On Sunday, the 14th November I was very adamant to find out how do I get tickets for the Harry Potter movie show on the 21st. and so just before the movie “Life as we know it” starts I again go to the ticket counter and ask them the same question. Their answer doesn’t change a bit. The lady behind the counter still tells me “well, you have to go and purchase the “YOU” magazine and ul get the tickets, Ma’am.”

By now I was really exasperated and I asked her for a little detailed explanation as to why is it so? And after the explanation I was convinced that I wouldn’t get a ticket for the Sunday show unless I buy that magazine and come and show them some page clipping. Well I was pretty determined to get the tickets for Sunday, due to prior commitments made by myself ;-).

So I decided I had to get the magazine and bring it here. Well I had come to watch a movie and I just couldn’t go right now. so I watched “Life as we know it” and simply loved it.

After watching the movie I went to a mall and bought the magazine and then came back to the theatre to get the tickets. I gave them the page clipping and I got a pleasant surprise. They gave me four tickets which I could utilize to watch any movie and the tickets are valid till the 30th of November 2010. I was so elated and it once again made me believe “jo bhi tum dil se chahte ho, sach me, really, actually, who tumhe mil jaata hai” well this doesn’t mean god will give u everything u hope for… but it should also comply with “god’s will.” Well but still I really love it when I have such beautiful experiences in my life. It tells me “Life is indeed beautiful!”

The day arrives… it is 21st November 21, 2010 today and as the tickets I had could be utilized for any movie I arrive at the theatre at 9 in the morning so I can get the confirmed Harry Potter movie ticket (02:30 p.m). And as always I have another surprise for me ;-). The girl behind the counter gets me 4 movie tickets for Harry Potter with no seat numbers written on them. I again request her to give me confirmed seats and she tells me that the seats are on first come first serve basis. Now I am really in for an adventurous day. Well, but I know that I am determined to watch the movie come what may :-) and well the alchemist theory really truly works for me  and finally I get to see the movie sitting on the second last row with free popcorn and a fanta :-)

I should say I really am grateful to the “Gauteng Film Commission” to release Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Part 1 a little late here so I could happily experience the “sneak preview” show.

Adhoore Lyrics

Well here comes another Song from my favourite lyricist Prasoon Joshi...

ek aawara nadi chalke woh khul ke sansanaati sanan sanan
aur woh hai jheel sa khaamoshiyon ki ek tarang liye tarang
rishta yeh kaisa jalti ret paaon ka
rishta yeh kaisa chand din dhoop chaaon ka
wooo adhoore tum, adhoore hum bin tumhare


mutthiyon mein baadalon ko le ke woh nichod de
woh raat ki chuppi mein shor natkhat chod de
bebaak hai, bindaas hai
use zindagi ki pyaas hai
paas hai, par dooriyaan


makhmali majbooriyaan hain
adhoore tum, adhoore hum bin tumhaare


Mann ke kamro mein, woh khole khushbuon ki sheeshiyan
Saahilon pe dhoondta hai, ishq wali seepiyan
Pyaar hai romance hai, bas yehi saransh hai
Do dilon ke darmiyan, khwahishon ki kashtiyan hai
O adhoore Tum adhoore hum bin tumhare
O adhoore Tum adhoore hum bin tumhare


ek aawara nadi chalke woh khul ke sansanaati sanan sanan
aur woh hai jheel sa khaamoshiyon ki ek tarang liye tarang
rishta yeh kaisa jalti ret paaon ka
rishta yeh kaisa chand din dhoop chaaon ka
wooo adhoore tum, adhoore hum bin tumhare

Your Happyness is your cHoIcE

I just read this somewhere.... thought I'll share it here.... And I really feels its so true.... its like someone has spoken whats in my mind.....
Its so true... Your happiness is truly your choice :-)

Do you feel unhappy and trapped in your present circumstances? It's not an uncommon feeling, especially in today's modern world. And it's easy to believe you're trapped without choices, that you're somehow at the mercy of everything and everyone around you ... that somehow your happiness depends on things over which you have no control.


Let me ask you this question: who is responsible for your happiness? Shouldn't it be you?

I'm here to tell you that everyone has complete and total control over their happiness. If you find that hard to believe, let me explain.


1. Your happiness is your Choice. If you're unhappy with where you are, recognize you are where you are because of the choices and decisions you've made up to now in your life. This is something that you may or may not at first blush agree with and it's something that took me a long time to understand. We're conditioned to believe we have no choices. We live where we live because that's where our parents lived. We work where we work because it's the only job we believe we can get. The result is that we tend to get stuck in the status quo because we believe we have no choice. Yet the truth is we always have a choice and, in fact, doing nothing to change our circumstances is in itself, a choice. If you don't like your job, why not look for another one? If you don't want a job, why not start your own business? If you don't like where you live, why not look for somewhere else to live? Too often, we get caught in the trap of waiting for something or someone else to bring change to us, failing to realize that our happiness is our responsibility and no one else's. You always have a choice to accept things the way they are or to begin to do something about it.


2. Choose your own thoughts. Taking personal responsibility for your happiness begins by beginning to deliberately choose your thoughts. Rather than buying into all of the "no you can't", start to deliberately think "yes I can". When you start deliberately choosing your thoughts, all of a sudden you begin to feel inspired and you start to look at the world and your circumstances in another way. You begin to see opportunities rather than problems. You begin to shift your mindset away from being a victim of your circumstances.


3. Take the action. Once you begin to choose your own thoughts and start identifying opportunities, you begin to feel inspired. You start to feel yourself compelled to take certain actions that will begin to move you towards what you want. The minute you begin to take actions, you've begun the cycle of assuming responsibility for your results -- and for your happiness. If you're not willing or afraid to take an action, ask yourself how badly you really want change. If you really want it badly enough, then take responsibility for initiating the action. There's no point waiting for someone else to because that's only going to prolong the current situation in which you're unhappy.

LoVe

Love is a priceless gift

Love is selfless and ever-giving

Love revives your soul and spirit

Love also makes your heart go singing

Love makes you believe in your dreams

Even though the journey impossible seems

Love makes u feel beautiful

Love makes all things possible

Love instills true hope in your heart

Love also brings God close to your heart

Love is just pure joy

All sorrow it destroys

Love is going on a long drive

Even while it is raining

Love is exploring a new place

Love is simply amazing

 

Love is laughing and playing

Love is simply having fun

Love is also together praying

Love is always being one

Anjaana Anjaani

When I first saw the promos of the movie Anjaana Anjaani.. I was like yeah I will watch it :-)
When you r in a foreign land and you “love” movies especially the romantic one’s you wouldn’t miss this movie for anything on a weekend where otherwise you have no option than to go to malls or watch TV at home..

So on a Sunday afternoon I left for the theatre. I had decided to watch the 4 15 show. It was housefull and I was glad I went early (had experienced watching “we are family” on the third row) to get tickets of the second last row.

The movie is very filmy.. very filmy type romantic… but then so am I :-)
And whoa I did like the movie.. liked the concept too. Though couldn’t get to agree with Priyanka Chopra’s character, still I loved the movie. and later thought that Priyanka Chopra’s character was also ok.. means like these things could happen to people…and people could behave that way….And I thought how true.. sometimes or in fact most of the times the people who help you out when all you need is to make a new beginning are strangers.

And then I was thinking about aNjaAna's and aNjaAni's in my life who were meant to be friends for a while but for that time they were the most appropriate people in my life.

When you are with strangers you forget all your past hurts, sadness and u tend to start your life anew.

May be its the comfort factor and that the stranger doesn’t know you at all, which makes it so easy to forget the burden of the past and make a new beginning, write a new chapter in your life, and you can have the new beginning exactly the way you want it to be…

Here in South Africa there are 6 strangers I have encountered (of which one is a 3 year old girl Mahi) and I am perfectly happy and at peace when I am with them. Irrespective of all the sadness or anxiety I feel when I am alone sometimes vanishes the moment I let myself be the new “MARI”, the happy “MARI”. And it’s a whole new world for me.

This blog goes to all the anjaana’s and anjaani's in my life. You all have made my life worthwhile :-)
And also to those who are no more anjaana’s and anjaani’s but lifelong friends :-)
