Waterfall of Words - Birthday Wish

Seriously,I cannot Swim. ...Seriously!!
No Seriously, It's sad that I really cannot swim..Really?!

You are an artist and mermaid by nature. I appreciate, you are a great swimmer too, a true Aquarius trait I guess. I thought you should know that I cannot swim. And right now being seven oceans in between its difficult to be on time. But I can write this and all, only for you! Love You!

“Happy Birthday (30th January) my sweet B-Buddy, Madhulika Garg! (Happy Now! I mentioned your name too, after all it is all for you)
Celebrating YOU!

Take my hand,
Hold on tight,
Down I fall,
Trusting, falling backwards!
Immersing waves of memories
Hope bounce exuberance
Don't let go,
Don't you dare even try!
In the darkness
And in the lonely nights
Hobble ebb and walk
Hold on tight
Show me the light
In your eyes
Light to light my way
I know no swimming
I got no fins
Paddle my life
You are my mermaid
Don't let me sink...
Pull me up with your hands
Take me deep
Into your world of ocean
Sapphire blue as sky
Teach me strokes butterfly
A pebble skipping, hurdles dropped
Full force reverberating echoing surface
Before sinking
Well spring of words
Surf surging survival
Swell on the surface of stream
Flowing, filling lines
Finding treble voice
In murmurs whispers musing
Tides and waves
Shades and images
Beyond the mirrors
Cleansing soul
Caring a pearl in heart core
Thirst to be quenched,
Cupped a cheers in joy
Spirit in few dew drops of desires
Floating over shallow fears
Dive deeper into dreams
I tried swimming once.
At least I tried.
I don’t know if it counts,
But if it hasn’t,
I can try back again
Kicking my legs up and down,
Syncing and making waves back forth and froth.
But I tried matching your wave-length
Slowing down and throwing off my rhythm
If it still not looks bright
What matters, at least I tried!
I wish my humble soul
Returns like a free bird
Chanting out for shower
Drizzle upon the shore
Sprinkle sweetness
Ahead the rocks placed right
Keeping you strong and rocking
Hours sitting would feel like a while
Marvel the milestones
Drenched in your handful of hue ideas
Feathers touching water
And then spreading
Smiles upon the water ripples
Get me back my wings
Waving in the wind, I wonder
I loved being with you
Under the ocean-bed
Carpeted with shells
Right now I rise high,
Teach me how to fly and sing
Sway in the breeze
Reaching the sky
Help me to try and glide..
After all, Grapes are sour,
The water for me was just too cold!

a blissful blunder - juniors and seniors bond

Few days back...I got in touch with one of my senior of college on one of the friendship-site. We instantly got our name into each other friend’s list. Not surprisingly, “we did not interact with each other for some unknown reason.”

Well if we dissect the reason…then I would say there are many rationale interlinked.
On the ground,

• Firstly…We got nothing to share…
• Secondly... we don’t have anything in common except the same name of the college
• Thirdly... we never shared a healthy bond during college days..
• Forth… it’s been really long gap, so we don’t know how to start
• And Fifth it hardly matter if talk or don’t talk…after all for the above reasons…(in a healthy way)!

Interestingly,
There was an instant co-incidental exchange of friendly words and suddenly we behaved as if we knew each-other so well! It wasn’t bad after all…to interact and share views! I sure respect that moment and wish more better and blissful moments ahead together in future.

Okay I guess…I expected a lot and planned unnecessarily a lot for future…when I almost ignored what could happen tomorrow.

The next day, I did a blunder!
Yep! This is what I call it and you like to hear it …( A blunder..I shall let you know below)

I have this strange tendency…
It’s like, “Neither hiding nor holding back…yet to see the picture in whole”

~ In simple terms like “if you think, we can be friends…think again! Because I shall accept you completely like you are, and would like you to accept me as I’m”

Basically, “Mutually respecting each other for as a person, as for the opinions, thoughts and so on… ”
+ Even accepting with the “differences” is uber cool, I say!!

Okay now the blunder,
I made was…forwarding on of the link of my post on views on ragging to my seniors of college! BOOMMM!

LINK: Ragging - Myths that menace

Though the post was not directly referring in person…but some day when I wrote that post,  I sure planned it in my heart that one day I shall share my same vital views with the one (I'm refering to all my seniors of both colleges) whom I have been referring to in the post. Glad, the day has come…despite the fact I might just ruin the bond which we just made couple of days before!

But then what a bond if not that strong enough to accept the strong opinions, even if it mean other way round you! I’m free to criticism as always! For the opposite force always make me much stronger and sharper…yes! And, if this is a sheer perception…I like to believe into it!! And yes! If I’m wrong convince me – correct me.

Okay back to the blunder!
Somehow…at certain point I had predicted the outcome or let’s call it outburst of the response, long back and this was no surprise for me to see how and what my seniors responded to. I got a whole long list of mails and few comment in the post…

Yes…It was a tiring night yesterday!

• Some getting angry with me…
• Some truly upset for what happened…
• Some just blaming me for the cause!
• Some being too neutral and blaming the circumstances of the era!
• And some being too kind enough and appreciating the skills of words in words! Smart guys!!

What an era….error _I say!

Finally at least they read it!
I was not talking behind their back…it was the truth and they faced it too!

It is a confession:

"...Not everything was that bad…yet not everything was so good!
Perhaps, life moves on better…not holding back but by backing each other!

The emotions are so composed right there…
I have unloved them for few reasons…but also loved them for so many reasons…many moments I still cherish....perhaps they don’t know and I never express! It’s a hollow-gap between us! (though there was an interaction, introduction, breaking-of-ice...and alll that and more...STILL a stand still) ..."

Trust me I got no harsh hurt feeling right now for anyone or for the seniors…!
~ Except that they feel a bit hurt to the strong opinion of mine as always!
+ Wished if you could get the essence of the felling better that, that post is not written to make them feel embarrassed or hurt or to take revenge or prove you completely wrong…it is an experience based on sheer my personal feelings and I’m alone accountable for my incidents of life…good or bad! Though I have referred to few who have influenced those moments!!

+ And I still vouch each and every word written…despite the fact, “It equally hurts here too”

Okay not getting too emotional…let’s get concrete…to the point…

Perhaps…no harsh feelings, no issues TODAY!
With all my heart I wish you all the best of your days and greatest heights in everything you are passionate about in life!

With due whole respect kindly get the facts clear,
“..if by making people act silly and funny and you laughing at the top over it…can think that it will break the ice…” _No one will stand it, not even you  will like that act or moment…juniors are no exception!

I just wonder…if you had not done so….
~ We could have been bestest buddies because the fact is… since,WE SURE HAVE a LOT TO SHARE!

“...To be friendlier, we need not be witty-funny …just a sincere friend’s pat is enough to break ice…and warm friend’s hand to say 'hi' is enough to stretch the friendship line!”

+ Perhaps, then there would not have been the relationship of juniors-seniors existing!

Any long-lasting healthy rapport need a budding time!
Over the night nothing changes…!

Perhaps now...it has been more than night to bring in the constructive-optimistic change..!!

Still it’s never too late… to be friends…
We can still be friends…only IF you think and positively are persisting…

Indeed, what a blissful BLUNDER oppss…!!!

My dear friend, what I meant is…
....A blissful beautiful BLEND of juniors and seniors bond!

Leos of MY Life

© 21st Century Tiger

The symbol for the sunsign Leo is the Lion. They are strong-willed, walk with pride, loves growling tends to be mushy almost like cute small lion cubs. Their major traits are being born leaders and highly focused at the target. They are generous, kind, extremely supportive and protective people. There are many people we come across our life but there are very few who last for life-long. And those are titled as dear friends, who are there for you and with you supporting. They believes in you and are willing to trust you at any circumstance. I have always believed  that it’s wonderful to have few close friends as they remind you how you were in your young age. These friends know all your secretes and the inner most thoughts. "I can be simply just ME with them without bothering what they will think about me." This allows exploring thyself more at every aspect.

At different stages of my life, I found friends, who got so much close to me and surprisingly I realised they were Leos! Their influences have been so positively intense and have been my aspiration. Here remembering the Leos of My Life and wishing them Happy Birthday.

Tanushree Baishya :

Birthday: 13th August.

I know this lady since our school days. We have done our education together in KV(IOC), Noonmati, Guwahati, Assam. We studied together from ClassVIII to XII. Those were the wonderful years and the most memorable times of my life, the "Teen Age” when we together with other friends had so much fun and creating menace in the school with our teachers and above all seniors. After completing our schooling we opted different careers and hence choose different lines of higher studies. But we often during our college vacations made sure to hang out with our other close friends and talk like hell! I like to call her "TWINNY" , as in school many people often got confused in identifying between two of us. May be it’s because we had almost similar hairstyle, same uniform and quite a same body structure. But in reality we are very much different.

She is bold with a gentle touch, which makes her so special. Her honesty not just defines her personality but portraits her Brain. Who says ! She forces people to appreciate her and give compliments because I strongly believe that ones you see her, compliments for her comes very naturally to you . She is an absolute divine beauty with brains.

No one in this small world is born who can win in argument with this LEO because she does her Homework well and in advance. And how can one forget that she have been always a rank holder.

As well definition goes from one of her friend "This is one girl (Tanushree) who has been with me, rejoicing with me in my success and consoling & supporting me whever I was low..." is having a same opinion like me.

Even though I haven’t met her since last three years, but I still feel same warmth, affection, care, trust, and above all hear the long Lectures Session. Tanushree, the Leo Lady has made us all proud with her works, deed, strength and love she shares.

I wish you all the happiness and success in life and may you achieve whatever you desire for. Moreove she reminds me of the qoute , "With clothes the new are best, with friends the old are best."

Amit Semwal :

Birthday: 19th August.

This Creature is also a LEO. I know him from past three years. We first meet during our interview for MBA at IITTM,Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Infact, we were in the same group for the group discussion. He made blunder after blunders during the whole event with senior and with the teachers but was still smiling. He is the only person in this world who acts stupid yet smart simultaneously. Well these traits are of Genius. By this time reading, he must have toppled down the chair laughing and holding his stomach. But buddy amit, get up, as I simply mean it, all above mentioned. I am so proud to be his friend. He is a true inspiration, aspiration and adore his trait of having equal feeling for all as a true Human-Being. When we participated in an art competition, where it was necessary to be in pair, I requested him to accompany me though I had no idea how to deal with the person like him. But when we actually one the first runner up prize the first thought strike my brain was that "We gel well".

He is very supportive but at the same time very much willing to take risks and also drag others to take risks. It’s because he is an innovative man, and making mistakes from the risk taken comes easily to him. His ideas might sound weird instantly but those are indeed the head turner for the society. “My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me”, and fits to the quote so well !

He have so much inspired me ever since I know him. I even wrote a blog for him "THE PHOTOGRAPHER, i captured". May you keep capturing the great pictures and our hearts with you warmth and your innocent smile.

Please, go through the video of the wonderful pictures taken by him in last three years. It is, "Amit in Wonderland". Click here: COLLECTIONS VIDEO.

Bhupesh Koli :

Birthday: 15th August.

He is My hubby is also a Leo and hence I can't exit without appreciating him. He is a typical Leo, flamboyant and generous simultaneously. He has wonderful instant sense of humor. I'm so glad that he can cook, infact cook so well. Sometimes such small things really matter a lot. His been truly a great friend. We tend to have different style in approach of decision-making which makes us highly complementary and effective. The best thing that has happened to me is that he taught me to be less critical and more spontaneous. We have recently celebrated our first wedding anniversary and I realized that after one year,

“He is still that same adorable, sweet guy who treats me better than anyone ever has in my life making me feel so much blessed”.

 Here is the poem dedicated to the Loving Leos of my Life...

POEM - Impossible

by Priya

Free and release your mind

let the world know

what a wonderful person

you are.

Life is to live and rejoice

let that spirit

make you

stay alive

surrounded by love.

I know you like to flirt,

lie and

still capture

my heart, with fluttering eyes

and make me surrender.

I know, I stay faraway

only to let you know

you will always be

in my thoughts.

If you ever shed a tear

think of me

coz to

forget you

is something impossible.

Hope you liked our article. Don't forget to share your view/comments or link to us. Cheers!

LAST Christmas..

Christmas have been always a Beginning of great time and end of good times..happened all the year. Its time to celebrate and have fun..in the chilly wind hearing the carols, lighting the Star in the courtyard and waiting for the Santa to knock the door with load of gifts and happiness to enter the life.

For me Christmas means only & only Happy Memories shared with friends and family and praising the Lord.

When today whole world is thinking and planning for the Christmas celebration this year...I am here deep in my purple world remembering the "LAST CHRISTMAS" year 2006.

"How the celebration created the amalgamation of friends and fun even during exams and tight schedules...! Greeting all and one even when no talk were done with people whole year...it was a time to forget all the negative things..n remember only to celebrate..the occasion, the very thought and festive feeling."

Chocolates, plum cakes...the sparkling christmas tree, gifts , snowy winds and dozens of winter clothes on body making us to look as fat and plum as the SANTA.. with a deep red CAP, a perfect symbol and touch of the festival..calling "Merry Christmas..Ho..hoo...Hoooo..ho..."

This is the day I recall my very friend DINCEY (GREMS, school days friend) who used to bring home-made cakes for me during Christmas..well made by her mother...Its also a time when I wonder the awesome time spend with NUPUR (nupu) my room-mate for two consequent years during college celebrating Christmas with Chicken and Cake.

The Christmas is time to simply "LET GO.." posture & ideology to follow your life for the most awaited moments of satisfaction and happiness in the new Year as we often gets stuck up for longer times in the hassles of day-to-day living. Its all about "LETS GO.."that is move on.

LETS GO and Freeze the Moment of Happiness this Christmas..

Wishing you all Merry Chr!stmas..Celebrate L!fe..
