Reflecting the Rain

Rain rains Go away,
Come again some other day...

And drench me in joy all the way..
In the hue of rainbow with a
Steep fall of raindrop over my forehead..
For it’s the celebration of downpour..
Pouring pure all around and on clay!  
For the gentle green lush grass growing in the surround
Softly soak and showers blessing over me and tall
Rain water on the road reflects the sky, my soul..
Flying high and covering rainbow slither
Thunder grumble
Skin savor moisture sensation...ticking my senses
Water ripples beneath my tiny toes
Healing the heels
Walking down the dash and splash
Facing the cool breeze with everlasting drizzle..

But for today..
Rain rains Go away...

For I can take a break from the busy day..
Enjoy a rest on a cloudy-muddy-lazy day...
Elate showers from the sheds

So Come again some other day..

I won’t runway from the rain
Never will shun the rhyme of the rain
We will play together tomorrow and have some fun sway
Waking the child in me and cherishing the innocent way..
Reflecting the sunshine in the refreshing rain,
The rain so condense and feeling so content,
For no reasons will hold back my feet
Will run in the rite rain facing the cool breeze
Circumstances will cease
Certainly there will be bliss

But some other day..
And not today..
Rain rains Go away...

The sun won't for a long stay
 The endless drizzle shall envelop and conquer the play
For I don’t want my friends to trace my tears..
Or crack on the hidden fears and missing mist,
And tag it as regular raindrop gist!
I shall triumph over if you get little more sensitive and care..
Sooner or later I will tang you, my friend the rain..
With the whole glimmer, bliss essence and glean
It’s when I’m celebrating the monsoon..
Move on Move on...Moving on..
Yet so much moved with the Memoirs
The Mood swings Moments,
With moves and swings in rain dance tune!

But for Today..
Rain rains Go away..
Come again some other day...

Top Ten Simple Delights of Life - Colours Magazine

In March,2010; I was given an opportunity to write my ever first guest post for 'Colour's Magazine', an adoarble site reflecting all shades of life.
Here's the direct link of the guest post CLICK HERE or read below;
~ Followed by the ‘HUMMING TODAY BLOG REVIEW’
And an important announcement at the END of the post...

Every person has a bit of philosopher in him/her and have his/her own a way of philosophy of life to define, look and explore the experiences, feelings, and fundamentals! I have tried to ponder, express the unexpressed thoughts and define my own quote that I follow in my life.

Ever since I have been aware of these things, I accepted and implemented them in my greatest percentage of life that is lived in the daily routine. During the journey of life I discovered the courage to see the things with a complete shift of the prospective, perhaps rediscovering the creativeness in me.

I came across to simple delights through reading, talking to different aged, the chain of circumstances and from a steady upgrade of wisdom with age. Different phases and position in life gave plentiful thoughts, experiences, and fluctuation of mood and emotions which redirected me much concrete action plan to lead a life and in all a better life-style.

+ I enjoy and celebrate this change everyday. So, here I share my top ten simple delights that made a difference in my life.

• Keep Smiling:

Smile is one and only language that world understands effortlessly. The interesting fact is that it takes 37 muscles to frown and 22 muscles to smile. So smile and uplift the aura instantly with the sparkles of joy. Perhaps, “Beam” is the synonym for smile. Keep smiling for it does improve your face value. And well goes the quote, “Don’t frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile.”

• Never Mess up with Hair:

To your early teenage and younger hood, people have this tendency to experiment with their looks and hair comes first in the list. The more you mess up with the hair with iron rods, blow hair dryers, chemical coloring or changing frequently shampoos, the more fragile hair becomes. Do not hesitate to take help of the hair-specialist to decrease the damage done to the hair. Of course you know, something is seriously wrong, don’t you!

• Dance as if nobody watches:

Play your favorite song and dance, at least 10 minutes. Try shaking your body while dancing if you have both left-feet. This will not only give you a chance to enjoy hearing your favorite song, but will also help you to sweat a bit to keep you up fit. I love this very cute quote “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” Rock the life! I feel enriched! Life is bountiful. And yes, I am often seen doing the flamenco and applauding my own ass. Dontcha you love to do it?

• Respect Old:

One day you will also be old. Never forget, one day you will also have wrinkles of your face. A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. So being a youth respect the old aged. One quote that I like to believe in is “Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back.” Perhaps remember the blessing of the old people just works as miraculous wonder indeed! Go for it and respect, after all the blessing in return comes free of cost, cash on!

• Love your Limbs:

Don’t know when unfortunate time arrives and in an accident, you lose your limbs. No matter how ugly your hands and feet looks, but they surely serve you at best all throughout the life. Whether walking, running, hugging, writing, painting or as simple as combing your hair, it’s your limbs which always helps you to facilitate your things. So honey, do take care and pamper your body! Go for pedicure and manicure, you will love that.

• Cherish old friends:

Not everybody can be your best-friends but there can be few as in your friends circle. You must keep in touch with some of your childhood friends or school or college friends. As you grow old these people shall be there to remind you how you were in your younger days. This will help you share things with much ease. Ironically, I have the mirror as my best friend! But in today’s scenario I have added one more list of friends who are bloggers. I never met them or know them personally but few are there who know me ever since I started blogging. I can read their blogs and they read mine, we exchange thoughts in terms of comments only. Still we share a beautiful blogging bond that embraces us together.

• Be Singular in this plural world:

Often I believe that each one is special. Yet only difference is that one is 18 and other is 19. Perhaps the difference between good and better is that little “extra effort made” to be the best. Focus on what you really want to be and want to have to capture your dreams. You must strive to use your creativity and courage that reflects your very unique individuality. We need not be perfect but just an extra effort to be perfect can make us unique. Toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other. I love to quote myself as “Unconventional in the willful way"; this is how I feel Singular in this plural world and each one of us has a right to feel so, isn’t it!

• Daily Delights:

Stimulate through sensual exploration and open up to feel the little and simple pleasure of the day. Adoring the simple pleasure is a state of mind which gives a power to respect others, appreciate the nature and feel grateful to God, besides this will preserve your innocence intact in the busy life. Go for a walk and inspire yourself praising the green lush grass around, the sun rays passing their fingers through the branches, a dribble drizzle rain in the morning, orange hue light in environment just before the evening starts, dew drop on flower petal, a gentle breeze in your hair, a friend’s hugs, a phone call of a beloved, radio playing the same song that you had been playing in your head, the curtain moving due to gentle wind at the window, aroma of the cup of coffee, your baked cake coming up from the oven just perfect, standing on the roof glazing the tiny stars, ocean tides touching the feet, wondering and smiling at the same time when no one is around, receiving a surprise greeting card from your old friend or just a cute comment in your new post…the list is as long as you want to absorb the pleasure from your daily living. But my delighting pleasure is when I see my tears followed after my loud laughter and my jaws hurting so badly. These are the simple pleasure yet sprinkles some magic that turns a routine day into a great one and making you feel so blessed. Always remember, “Each day has its Moments!”

• Learn:

Life is all about learning. One of the greatest lessons in life is learning. Make it your rule to learn something new everyday. Then use what you learn to make your life better. Learning gives us an ability to take risk in doing new things and apparently leading to creativity and innovation. New techniques, new ways and brushing up own knowledge to do things help you to see things a lot clearer and learn to rationalize a lot more. Besides, the more you learn, the more you can share. The one quote on learning I highly appreciate is, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”

• Travel:

Travel for young is a part of learning and for the old is a part of experience. On the way of journey you learn about new people, place, customs and traditions. Traveling helps us to shape our new vision, our thoughts and mold the ideal our life. Traveling helps you to accept the change and make you more integrated in nature. There are many people who are very unenthusiastic to leave their home town and hesitate to do job or stay outside their area. They really are not aware how much they are missing. I wonder how we forget that we all live on the same planet, the earth! Never leave the opportunity to travel. Always remember the Chinese Proverb “Walking ten thousand miles of world is better than reading ten thousand scrolls of books.”

T The list to pursuit of happiness can be as long as you want to. Perhaps you can add your own humble points yet a powerful act to enhance the list and better living.


Nevertheless, I consider that not those big booming philosophy, perhaps the smallest pleasures, gentlest joys and simply way of living make a long lasting difference in creating a phenomenal journey of life. 'The choice to care or to take chance',is yours!


May you celebrate the change and Keep the spark ALive.

Quick Indian Snack - Samosa Recipe

One fine day one of my friend asked me, “How we-Indians got independence?”
I said we fought, struggled and latter got the freedom.

To this my friend said a story behind this fact that how we actually got the freedom from the Britishers. My friend said that one fine day the Britishers were invited by Gandhiji over a evening snack gathering. Those were served then with ‘Samosas’ with the tea. The Britishers got so amazed to see the Samosas. They wondered how come the potatoes went inside the samosas without a cut, slip or any opening. They were so surprised with the culinary skills of Indians and they gifted us by signing a treaty of freedom, the Independence. Perhaps, it’s the Samosas that we owe our freedom!

Well on the serious note, that’s all not true yet there have been so many stories attached the making of Samosas. For Samosas are truly delight tasty little savoury patties originated from India. In India, it is available every hook and corner of the street, quite cheap, easy to make and full of strong appetizing flavour.

Cloud of Child Labour

'I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.' _ Mother Teresa
~ This post is the combo post to reach out to all groups with the intense emotions imposing with an aim only to support and suggest the best in our own little way and ability to spread the awareness regarding Child-Labour.
_Kindly read the first part of the post too, 'Child labour - Lack of Compassion'!

• This post opens with the 55fiction by astute thinker Mahesh
• Followed by prudent post by aesthetic poet Priya
• Then comes the Video reflected by our very endowed artist Sam

55fiction

“Many of them don't have Education in-spite of having parents...
Some of them don't have even parents....
Few of them don't have Education in-spite of having Work to do at a tender age.....
But they do have two precious things in their tiny hands....
'Future' and HOPE.....Let’s, together, help them blossom as children....

”_Courtesy: MAHESH (member of NGO. LINK: http://hope4needy.blogspot.com/) HELP US!

Kids not playing but selling toys at traffic-light signals

“We all know the existence of "Child Labor" and how it affects children or a child who wants to enjoy the freedom being a child rather growing up fast working for his/her family.

Who are the sufferers of this so called tragedy in this world?
Who makes it happen?
Its 'WE" the people who treat and ill-treat for the act of selfishness in terms of quick money making industry and also the adults/parents of that child who wants to earn with this child's help.

Have we all wondered why a child's mental ability to learn has been blocked in order to do a job?
We live in this world worrying about self more than the awareness or making them to learn the causes of children exploited. They are exploited in many ways unknown to this world.
_Freedom to breathe is the same way a child wants to live his or her childhood days. But we rather go for cheap labor, make them work at industries, construction sites, house maids and what not. When they grow up they only show more anger, despair and agony than love and compassion. Their mental stability is tested right from the day they start learning to walk and handle things.

If Poverty is the reason, can't we humans help each other to increase the family income for the adults instead of employing a child?

With Love and Compassion, we can change this labor into a rejoice with good education and social needs to the families who lack the support for a better living.
~ Child is born and let to work with pain and no joy because the world looks at them due to lack of resources including health care.
When every child is born,
Another goes to work..
When every child dies,
Another is burdened to work more.”

_PRIYA

I was so touched with the immense response I got from them instantly!
And here I got introduced to one the video which was send by one of the profound artist ‘Samarjit Roy aka Sam’ followed by a profound note written by him…
Kindly see the link and read below…
LINK:: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2VFOzH1Qr0



“A video is of my region showing child labor.
===My father is a doctor there. Instead of practicing in town, he chose to open a chamber in the far interiors, near the river Balason, where these families live. He loves his job so much that he never misses to go there twice a day, in spite of the harsh weather or difficult terrain. He travels 8 km twice daily on bicycle for doing that.
I don't know why I'm writing all these, but I felt like letting the world know that many poor and mediocre people are doing a lot of social service and are just ignored in a country where only Cricket and Cinema thrives.
”

Regards,
_Samarjit Roy

Kindly have a look to the kid sitting between the new wooden bed to be delivered at home..

T The thought of writing this post came into my mind…and I felt so restless only to see that with so much having written and know about child-labour, I wasn’t able to sum up my thoughts which perhaps were somehow getting so much engrossed into the passage of losing of innocence story of so many children trapped in struggle. So instead of writing the dwelling story, I thought to reflect upon in bringing many new ideas and thoughts from my fellow blogger bond friends…

• Giving the right justice to the underlined words and compiling the post as stimulator to spread awareness that really matters. Yes! A soul-stirring 55fiction by Mahesh as an eye-opener, thought pondering article by Priya and pricking video recommended by Sam in whole act as motivators.

I was just so touched with Sam’s 100words! I’m not personally acquaintance with his father but was so much inspired with the genuine effort he is putting in bringing in a bit which makes a difference. Sure it’s an example to follow to dream, hope and believe that we all can in our own little way do as daily routines acts of compassion!

Every little step just reflects back and ripple beckon back as waves in the water.
We tried in our way and will sure move forward with every tiny step we take!

...let's be more Compassionate towards
Children..

Because, WE believe in being solitude, and it must be maintained but solitudes together should join hands to enrich and enhance the creativity and thought..I'm so glad that I shared such post with creative people! Which again I like to believe that will happen more often in future! If you think you are interested in contributing in such joint forums for awareness, write to us to share your views over any topic!

Child Labour – Lack of Compassion

Imagined not being able to move,
One place and so strongly grooved,
No play
No pen
Only soreness and soft small hands handling it all
..at the humble age
Losing innocence…
In every bit of
…difficult breath and bread..!

Definition of Child Labour that UNICFF, states is as follow:
“Child labour as work that exceeds a minimum number of hours, depending on the age of a child and on the type of work. Such work is considered harmful to the child and should therefore be eliminated.
Ages 5-11: At least one hour of economic work or 28 hours of domestic work per week.
Ages 12-14: At least 14 hours of economic work or 28 hours of domestic work per week.
Ages 15-17: At least 43 hours of economic or domestic work per week.”

“A complete setback for me indeed!
An eight year old kid works for around 28hours per week. I never did.
Being at that humble age, I enjoyed my childhood in playing merrily with friends and going school.
But not every kid is lucky. It is believed that an estimated 158 million children aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour that is one in six children in the world!

“I’m very bad in making sad pictures. You need to have sadness from within to do that I suppose...”
sad child @ SAM

Million of children all around the world are working illegally, hampering their studies and risking their health. They are forcefully asked to work in mines, cracker making factories, glass bottle making workshops, small tea stalls and even some dealing in doing household works for 24/7.

-Many a times, the children are asked to work because they belong to the very poor families and are in utmost need of money.
-However, there are many other cases where children are forced to do work as no other person in family can or would work that are they are unemployed or underemployed.
-Perhaps there are also few unfortunate children whose parents are not there; hence the children enroll in to labour for the survival.
-Though, there are also some children who get sold to a manufacturer and they are forced into working.

Desperate for a secure job and income the children are often misused by the one who offer jobs, because children are cheaper, innocent and easier to exploit.

In short, those children have no choice but to shun to study and toil in work.
-Losing the kid’s heart desires and yearn…forced to earn.
They had to work which would not suit their age nor shall be apt for their healthy living. The children working in the glass-bottles making workshops, have to inhale a lots of poisonous gases. Children are engaged in hazardous situations or conditions, who work in cracker making factories or mines.

_The irony is that this work/labour capture against a continuum, from work that is favorable, promoting or enhancing a child’s development without interfering with schooling, recreation and rest to work that is simply caustic or exploitative.
-Indeed there is a huge gap between labour and child development.

For example:
-How would making match-sticks help in the children development or enhance their future!?
-Will working as a servant in different houses, help him/her to up build the career or bright future!?

Labour and the child development/studying are infinite paths and completely two different poles. They cannot be submerged or zing together. It is at the most vicious end, where children are used as implicit slaves to repay debts incurred by their parents.

We see everyday at every hook and corner of the city, where the children are forced to toil under adverse condition. Those burdens with domestic chores and chaos are devastatingly girls.
_Millions of girls who work as domestic servants are particularly exposed to exploitation and abuse. Those are beaten, verbally abused and mentally tortured at the highs of insanity.

Okay now reflect upon this…
..have you worked non-stop washing clothes, than dusting, latter going to market to buy stuff, coming back taking care to kids and then latter again washing dishes and the wheel of work goes on and on. You might feel exhausted for working non-stop without taking a break and above all not getting a penny out of it. Same happens in reality with such humble little children working in the factories non-stop. They are complete worn out with work and their life. The innocence is lost. Perhaps, a cheering childhood is lost into the chaos of labour.

~Wonder, what the downright logic is behind having children to work at home and take care of your kids!


They are struggling hard to survive and straggling to work hard with their soft tiny hands. The situation is already bad let not make it worst.
Child labour at many grounds shall exist despite if all the arguments and logic.
“I choose here to do the Things Right than just doing Right Things..”

• Labour makes children dependent and utterly reliant. At the practical note, let’s not give money in hands of parent of the children who are working. Such free income from children to the parents only promotes parents to repeat such ugly acts with all their kids and continue such habits. Lets make an account of fix-deposit money in the bank in the name of the child, so that he/she can asses the money for his/her development when grown up.
• Labour often obstruct in the children’s education. Under no conditions or case, children education must not be blocked..work out something that helps in the development of the child.
• Let’s educate the parents to make their children educated and provide them better lifestyle. It’s not just only money that actually decides the right kind of the life-style yet there are many basic practices of living healthier life. Efforts are focused to stop such abuse, misuse of innocence.

~ Ensuring that all children go to school and that their education is of good quality with the salient amalgamation of healthy happy living are keys to prevent child labour. Lend your support to abolish child labour. _Let’s be more compassionate towards children!

Goodbye

While he was leaving back for home in the office-bus, he could not get my glance in the bus. Soon he decided to call off today going by the office-bus. And straight away he came to the nearby cafe, where we used to hang around after office hours and interestingly he found me sitting all alone with two cups of warm coffee, both cups cold and untouched. And before he could ask or say anything to me, I said in a low voice yet intact tone, “I was waiting for you here...come sit...we need to talk”

He sat next to me. I was so angry and he could sense that.
Well after repeating in mind few lines how to break the ice, he said with conviction, “I’m really sorry for my being so rude to you today in the office”.
“It okay...” I said instantly. He wondered if that really did not bother me or I was still angry on him.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked. He understood there was something else that was bothering me.
“You should have told me...you considered me as your best friend, isn’t it...then why you have hid this from me” I said in one breath.

He was so much puzzled...what was that bothering me so badly..?
Suddenly I uttered, “She is your girl-friend, since how long...you never told me about her, all you said you like her?”
He visualized, “Okay...it was this which was bothering me so much, but then second thought came to his mind soon but why she is getting so hyper over it.”
He asked me to calm down but I was unwilling to hear anything than what actually was asked. He tried getting precise yet candidly said “few days back she proposed me and I said yes.”

I kept staring him hard without a single blink.
“There was a silence after the storm or may be a silence before a storm, no it was rainstorm!” he exclaimed silently. A tear slipped my cheek...and I swiftly picked my bag and walked away.
_There was no time to react, he asked me to stop but I did not pay attention towards him. Disconcert on my tall heals I walked away. He crushed down the chairs in the cafe and rushed behind me. He caught my hand. As he squashes his body towards mine and his face towards mine, as he gasps surge down my face and saw my dark eyes wet-wild in pain.

He could understand yet ignored eavesdrop his heart pounded aloud and shout, “Boy, this girl loves you...just as much as you do”. Though the same still moment he also knew, staring at my watering eyes that this was about to end...the bond we shared have frozen in confusions and expectations to learn each other.

I still maintained my damn silence but my dark moist eyes said more than a single story.

He could not resist and decided to confess the whole without being asked for. Because he knew, I would never ask for an explanation nor would I understand without being said it all.
“Why didn’t you tell me this...O God, why I could not ever understand what you felt so implicate intensely and your unspoken urge?” He said without a hesitation.

“I have always liked you...but feared of losing you and your friendship, which is so precious to me...hence I could never make up my mind to tell the truth above all you always got so irritated with the word ‘love’ every time I mentioned...” he in a lament tone said in continuity in pain in the moment of misery.

I waited for my wish, if he whispers holding my wrist, ‘Don’t Go’...

Though, soon with an unheard notion I left the place at ones saying ‘Goodbye!’ which more or less echo in my life...

++++++++++++....................++++++++++++

It was early morning I suddenly woke up, it was still dark. I felt a bit giddy and bushed, thought may be because of sheer bad dream I saw.
I wondered, “How could I ever say Goodbye to him for he is sure a very special person of my life!”

I can still recall when I saw him first; he was sitting at the corner of the window of the office-bus, listening to his iPod with his dark brown shabby hair falling over one eye. Then he looked at me and everything froze. We had joined the office as trainees and were new to the place and people.

We got introduced and quickly became friends.
It was that moment almost 8 months back when he hardly gave a tiny glance over me and here is the other string of the meeting when he almost every day hold a seat for me next to him in the office-bus and we go every alternate day for the coffee outside also make sure to meet sometimes at weekends. Life is really good when he is around!

Absolutely he has found a great friend in me.
And I do share unbound so many of my secrets and stories with him.
_I sure trust him lot indeed for he did help me to come out of the trauma I was suffering from a bad-relationship break-up. He was definitely a ‘Godsend’ at those poignant moments for me.
No hiding or secret, even I consider him as one of my very close friend, in fact more than a friend, though he does not know...for certainly because of the past incidents I doubt my feelings every time I get butterflies in my stomach...

Tringgggg.....wakeUp Alarm call

Indeed it was the most irritating ear-piercing sound of the alarm clock. It was an alarm to wake up though I woke up before time today in early morning. Suddenly I realised, I did yesterday walked away from the cafe. And soon everything I remembered.
Yesterday was a longest day of my life, “I was in the cafe, with two cups of coffee on my table....”

"I did say Goodbye....but he was not around...” Actually he never turned up to meet me in cafe yesterday. “He didn't chase after me or catch my hand...”

I remembered that I said ‘Goodbye’...
..to the lingering attachment,
..to the happy duet times,
..to the gigantic giggling sound on silly gist...
..to the care he took for everything..
..to the way he pampered me purposely being a buddy.

_In reality, I have been as a regular practice waiting for him everyday same time past 7days to share a lot of stuff happened recently in my life, in office. But may be only today I have woken up to the real truth...where neither actually he knows what a lot I feel for him nor he ever tried penetrating into my eyes or heart to know the genuine.

Dishearten and gloom lying all dull on my bed. I kept thinking a lot...about him and about many things related to him..! In my mind, I believed I couldn't go on. I cried, I screamed. Couldn't eat, couldn't concentrate, and couldn’t do anything and on the other hand I had any idea what to do next. I could feel my heart sinking and fragile.

But what after so much I’m still not willing to acknowledge the fact that we have actually parted from being friends... (reasons unknown thrashed upon us). So he moved on with her only to avoid further complications would have or were having to some extent.

No! it wasn’t a rejection...I soon reflected that sometimes good-bye are good only to give you enough time to decide being fair and choose the correct thing and not grabbing a sheer chance, by chance.

It was good-bye but I never gave up...my good-will!

“And I never wanted him and his girl-friend to part away...” I murmured lying on my bed watching the ceiling...

I learnt then that Goodbye was just a word...I closed my eyes and still wished all well for him every passing moment..
“I did owe him...if not completely or precisely his presence yet his forth friendship...” I held candidly.

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

Goodbye (c) rachi creations..
to Enlarge view click the picture

Ikept poised and followed the grace of gradual time.
It’s almost a month passed. I said goodbye to summer and said hello to spring...though only I know how difficult it is to gain from a Goodbye glitch!
We still keep looking each other from the distance without a word being shared yet thousands of best-wishes passing on while we exchange an awkward smile.

Goodbye doesn’t decide to create the last chapter yet relatively it starts with new bloom beginning depiction. It’s a prospective and phrases to believe in a simple yet a compound word description.
+ In brief Goodbye makes us grow!!

“I grew with it...and looked around what else the little world holds for me...which is grand and gentle than Goodbye”

I’m glad that I had a fraction of his time as a friend, yet I truly mean that ‘I said Goodbye’
...But then I’ve been gifted by the wonderful bits of memories preserved.
It provides me a miraculous making with merry moments of my Wonderland yet it grants temporary getaway from the rude-reality.

...i said Goodbye to word Goodbye..

_So that here I can recall the sweet strong smell of summer cold coffee in the cold bleak winter day while sipping the hot mug of delicate dark chocolate. Or in the middle of conversation with someone who has just heard me speak, I wonder if my words and ideas were his...

My Super-Hero

• Kindly DO NOT jump up to the last paragraph quickly by scrolling…
  please read the lines and paragraphs of rhymes that actually defines, MY Super Hero!

• Perhaps, you gonna be so proud of the bio attached and identified in every word of the line! It’s like a fixation with the SUPER-HERO of mine.

Here, I’m sitting at the window with crossed legs,
I’m still thinking about you.
You have been with me wherever you can.
You have been my forever imperative strength!

It’s a beautiful bond we share
After all, for ages you know me so well
You follow my words just the way I meant
You even hear me when I’m silent.

And here I took out my three and half inch long heals sandals
You looked at me and said, “You goona hurt your ankles”
You were so sure and so concerned about me!
I like the way you care and pay attention towards me!

I soon took off them and wore my flat slippers,
For today we sure had a long walk to make up
To talk and discuss certain issues, I had
I needed your opinion and your word of assurance.

We walk together in the park of the city,
We walk on the side-path, a little longer,
You ask me to sit on the bench nearby,
You took my attention to the daily-delights!

When I’m low, you make me fine
You make me smile with the good memories trail, you remind!
You make me laugh at my foolish acts,
You make me feel important, when no-one real cares!

Perhaps, you always there on my mind..
I look forward to your company perhaps, every point in time
You are just you_ subtle, poised and sublime
And you allow being me the way, I’m all the time

Because we share beautiful chemistry
I wish, I could with you share a cup of coffee or tea,
To this the reply came, “I’m still there while you sip your coffee
Yet I cannot certainty be there to share a cup of coffee...”

Your words never make me sad..
I knew you had a rational head;
I like your intellectual style, with a tint of traditional touch
It makes you look unconventional yet original and uniquely clutch!

When I worry a lot and feel lost,
You constantly support and give me a pat
A positive attitude of yours always gets me amazed
You never leave hope and I like when you ask me to soon cope!

And when I say I don’t deserve it at all
You enlighten me with self-esteem
This is when I recollect my scattered thoughts
To build up the confidence for a second innings!

Is there anyway I could surprise you?
Gift you with something that would make you blissful!
To this you replied…“Enhance and enrich more with ideas,
Your gracious views subsequently will make me cheerful! ”

How wonderful it would be if I share more desires and dreams,
To this, you said you liked this high spirit and aspiration in me!
Your constructive words always inspires me to the best
And I like the way you give attention to every minute details.

Very few people in this world have actually understood me,
I’m glad you so well perceived and acknowledged me.
I like the way you correct me when I’m wrong…
I adore you for the precise instincts for me, you got.

I’m glad that even when I’m wrong,
You accept me with the mistakes and flaws,
You want to act sharp and smart,
And want me never get dumb-stuck caught!

They say, I’m have this eccentric passion for you,
I think, I’m have been fanatically obsessed about you,
You say, nothing wrong in this feeling,
If I don’t value you how will I get identify to!

You got the best suggestions and schemes for me
I like the way your thoughts team up with my little-things
You guide me to the instincts
You want me shine, sparkle and bling!

They say, you are mysteries & vague
You cannot handle the imagination
But for me, you unravel my hassle
Organize and manage everything surprisingly so well

Incredibly you love to see me soar fearless and step high
I like how it pleases you and never negatively exceed
You like me to see sailing and excelling
I think it’s your presence and free-thoughts stimulating zing

You are more firm and real with the decisions you take
I got improved because of your concrete feedback
You brought the best and bright of me
You are my sunshine and a best friend to believe in and look to!

You knew when I need a coffee
You knew when I need a tea
Perhaps when I knew not...
You reminded me
That I need a tiny chocolate treat!

All I know it all, all the time..
Perhaps you are always on my mind…
O dear! You are mine!
My stupendous rocking mind-blowing…
Not just my Super-Man but
Subtle Stunning Creative… matchless MY Mind!

“I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.” ~ Vincent van Gogh quotes (Dutch Painter, one of the greatest of the Post-Impressionists, 1853-1890)

I will Hope and Dream - Journey of Joy

He said, “Hope and dreams are incentives of life”…and those little words just echoed my life!

How beautiful was it seeing that these little words, “Hope and Dream” are so much interlinked and liberating! I hoped to happen and dreamt to dare!
I silently prayed, wished and expected someday my aspirations shall come true. I had no perfect sketched picture to view but I knew, “if I hope, I already have”! And I kept that high spirit.
Hope and dream have been ever since the beginning. It brought change, a beautiful magic with it. A series of miracles and high drive in imagination in the group of thoughts! While I was dreaming, I was discovering me in every aspect. The varied options I had and ability to cope and overcome all the hurdles. The defeat and disappointments were not the end but the new fresh beginning, it was understood only then. It was hope and dream in combo that motivated me every stage.

A power of dreaming came with an ability to view what we liked and hope it to happen, the change as we loved it. We worked hard...focused and with the dedicated sincere step by step we reached our goal, our target, and our dream!
To dream has been an act of being fearless and is infinite!
A dream supported with a pat of hope, an optimistic belief of gesture.

But many times you come to a juncture of life when you feel you dream hopelessly like a loser. Perhaps, you might have! But great thing would be if you move with the aspiration and turn the tables round, you will see that a loser was being just so temporary stage of life. It was the dreams and hope that actually sailed you safely away from the thunderous fall every time. It gave you a reason to smile and a reason to firm up your beliefs. Every challenge in your life helps you to grow. It is the hope and dreams that gave you a chance of change for better a choice to make and create a motivation to value the worthy thoughts and ideas you got. Perhaps, it was not at all about only you what you got…it was about what you got and could contribute to the well-being of others…directly or indirectly.

A man perhaps by profession a doctor had a dream to owe a big hospital for the Cancer patients. Though, the dream was his, his dream could serve many-many longing families of the Cancer patients with better facilities and medicine. Perhaps, he hoped for the best and dreamt indirectly for everyone.

Never give up when you still have something to give…hope and continue to dream. Do not dismiss your dreams…and lead a fearless life to expect the change and a chance in sight.

Only hope can heal the pain and the haunting moments. When you are hurting, your strength shines through the hope and dreams! Such is the power of hope and dream. Even if you think you are getting selfish, it will still serve and sparkle for all and sundry.

Hope is the outcome of self-confidence, circumstantial benefits, and courage to conquer whatever you choose. Dreams are not your self-seeking wants, they are just beautiful norms that’s brings a genuine smile on your face and on other’s too if shared. We cannot control any of them but strive and thrive to optimistic lane.
_Life is not a race;
_Life is a sweet journey of joy to be savor and cared with hope and dreams the purpose of life..!
I learned something valuable from every trip and every turn I made, I’m no more afraid to make mistakes.
I learn from the choice picked and chances created in life..!
I don’t hold back but hope, Dare to dream and don’t doubt your beliefs!

We all will not live forever..
We will not last eternal..
What we create, paint, dance, say words..
Perhaps will share our dreams..
And hope till the last breath..
And it will be THE WILL behind the hope and dreams that will last forever!

~ Perhaps well said… “Hope is a waking dream. (Aristotle)”

Wifey and Hubby - Merry go round

"which came first, the chicken or the egg???"
Can you answer this..???

The chicken or the egg causality dilemma is commonly stated as "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" To ancient philosophers, the question about the first chicken or egg also evoked the questions of how life and the universe in general began.

Cultural references to the chicken and egg intend to point out the futility of identifying the first case of a circular cause and consequence, where the consequence of the phenomenon is claimed to be its root cause. Ref. wiki

Agreed isn’t it like, who started first the fight, between husband and wife. They have a normal conversation and suddenly unexpected with an impulsive twist-turn. Both keep blaming each other in the sequence, chance by chance, and none finds or focus on the root cause.

Anyways…we are not talking of any fight or finding any solutions over here.
Neither are we talking about "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

But yeah, here is a cute chronicle revolving and evolving around egg and the dilemma behind the weird yet wonderful of its kind relationship on this earth which Husband and Wife share on this earth.
~ Here is a fight yet with a funny tag!

• SO here’s the merry marry-go-round…

» Happily newly married couple thought to start a day more romantic and went to the kitchen to make the breakfast together.

And as expected, the moment they enter the kitchen, the girl instructs "What to do list in sequence"

SHE says, "You boil eggs and I'll make toast"

And as the theory goes, men dispose what women impose,

HE says, " I'll make toast and you boil eggs”

And again as always does, the history repeats itself, this time in kitchen,

SHE explains, "Boiling eggs is no big deal, it will be easy for you to do, so I shall make nice golden crisp toasts which need patience and cooking skills...hence you boil eggs." (It’s like indirectly and humbly she is suggesting how dumb you are!)

Soon HE proves it (to be dumb) while saying this...
"Boiling eggs is quite a messy job, so I'll make toast and you boil eggs..."

SHE wonders and simultaneously mummers,
"How can boiling simple eggs could be messy...you just need to add water for boil and then add eggs wait for two minutes and its all ready!"

HE subsequently replies, "That what is so messy...boiling water and adding eggs to boil…and moreover it happens messy with me every time when I boil eggs”

SHE got a shock of her life, perhaps wondered, "Was boiling eggs so tricky stuff..."
And like a true Home-Minister of the house she takes over a stands like a controller/ administrator..
SHE insisted "Boiling eggs is not at all messy, why don't you try in front of me...and let me get enlighten with your wisdom..."

Lovely Mutual part:
» HE somehow agreed upon....
» SHE helped him and kept some water in the pan to bring it to boil...

As the water started boiling, SHE said "Now add the eggs and wait for next two-four minutes"

Interesting what next she saw, she knew "BOILING EGGS can be so messy..."

As instructed on time of the boiling water to add eggs into it, HE _ took a fork brook the shell and added the egg yolk into the boiling water.....

....##^****))! “Look how messy, Boiling eggs has turned!”

Heights of insanity!

When SHE interrupted HIM from breaking the eggs....to HER surprise

HE says.."What!! Are you going to eat eggs WITH shell or what.."*..#..^****))!

Session with me and my prickly thoughts in park actually pepped up me into something called as perky peace. Passing by, I found a greeting card shop.

Suddenly, a thought came into my mind. I still remember the beautiful hand made greeting card she gave me to wish me good-luck at my college farewell. No sooner I got that thought I hop into the shop to see if I could find something beautiful just like her for her...yeah still my beautiful Soul!

Perhaps, I found a sweet little bright card with a heart and golden shimmer sprinkled all around. It had sparkles and glitters around the aura. It was bright, vibrant and fairly reminds me of her. That card wasn’t a huge deal, but sure it got all those right things I wished to have with the sparkles, glitters and a tiny message with ornamental curl handwriting inscribed, “I wish I could be there with you. Know that you are with me in my thoughts..” No that line doesn’t sound me cheesy at all…It was just such a crisp contour to start with…I thought!

I was happy to grab that gorgeous greeting-card.
And fetched bunch of orange lily was just the right combo to serve the purpose.

Reached the café, still had enough time to relax, grasp back my breath and recollect my thoughts.
I looked subtle and calm with my thoughts looking at the greeting-card again and again. Soon, I took out my pen to write my name.

Perhaps, when everything was alright and owing the moment, I could not resist writing in my tiny curvy kid like handwriting below the inscribed lines saying that,

“I always wanted to THANK YOU for effort you had put in creating the beautiful hand-made greeting card, that you gave me on my college farewell for wishing me good-luck for which it have really worked so well for me…I shall preserve that card glitter, the dazzle thoughts, those sparkling sweet memories and shall always care the bond we have shared together!
Just so you know! Thinking about you and wish you blissful-beautiful life ahead!” and with my small name under it at the corner.

Okay, it took me seven long years which are really long than longer and further took nearly two hours more to pen-down, that I was not sure until I confessed thyself that...

“..be hooked its harmless,
it will only grant us gratitude,
happiness in hush and
strength at hard times,
for there is someone who really cares
and swear to share evermore generously
and even more genuinely!”

I don’t know if I was making a right kind of decision, yet I know my choice now had more pros than cons!
_It was not about doing right things but about doing things right.
And that was enough to enlighten myself and delighting for HER well-being!
Yes! I still consider and care for her.
Cause’ she still means a world to me.
And so created this conclusion for her concerned choices of life she made to celebrate her Life and OUR Bond.

I counted confidently one to seven for each of year missing.
With a glittering greeting-card and bright bunch of orange lily on the side of the table, I left, leaving a message with the restaurant Manager, to convey her at her arrival.

Perhaps,
left recollecting good times together to a beautiful turn...with colors of card and scent of flora!!

Though I left,

I was all packed and profound with the magnificent memories trail renewal which was lost in the busy sheer life in seven long years. I knew my guitar was missing the tunes, I created. I shall still close my eyes evoked listening sweet chimes of her. I shall remember, recollect and cherish those careless days of college forever…!

It started raining again hard....Ahh...let it rain...Just let it...Let Go...
I made a biggest mistake by never telling her what I felt yet only then I apprehend amazing life blessed me that I posses the best memories about in whole. Only wish if I could steal a little more time with her...

It was all about the logic I had that serene moment.

Indeed, Life is all about choosing liberally between ones likeness and other’s limitation.

It was not about behaving like a life time looser or fleeting mad lover but conducting yourself as a leader or else life loses its meaning…the bond which we cherished might just lose it entity!
~ I just realised...it was always there at back..supporting the forth..in good faith!

Perhaps, a life lesson, I learnt and discovered it only then after seven years plus two hours plus seven minutes.

~ Sure, still when it rains, in silence around, stirring soul, guitar strings…and stillness again or when her reflection brings sun shine all over my respite…she was still doing something good...still making me a better man...I wished to....

Yes! In a way unconsciously I proved her correct and she will recognize that I was still the same, as I wanted to be what SHE always wanted ME to be...
“Spontaneous-Headstrong-focused-warm all at the same time” as she tagged me in ‘weird tag expression’ !!

...We were comfortable and able to converse so freely with so much ease. This gave me truly a sense of satisfaction. I felt as if my assumptions were so true, about her expressions. We got in touch.
We were so happy to share our happy memories together.
Okay, the first thing I noticed and felt that she was a grown up girl...NOW
NO more a shy pose yet a strong minded phase.

She shared with me all her beings, her inspirational list and perhaps a will to have much-admired me throughout the passage of life, when we actually missed to share in the hush of busy days.

_She amazed me saying that she precisely remembered all, the first meet, how shy she used to be, how silly I could be, the chocolates we shared, the tunes on guitar I played, college functions we participated and won too...all and more that I always had a brooch smile fixed in my lips, which she adored the most… :)

Been so many years…yet all those things…I felt, I was missing you like crazy…though moving on...Damn those engaging memoirs!!

As she was talking more about her, I could hear tranquility sway of the wind-chime tickling sweet sound which must be hanging in her room. Yes! That was she, a spirit of sweet little things, making each day delight.

Yet, she continued saying more and more to every nodding hum, Yes!! Yes!

_Yeah..I’m a pretty good listener only for her..

Yes!!
Huh! Aspiration story, Career Graph…missing moment and Relationship status…
What…she is in a steady Relationship! This came with a set back…and was really…really hard to swallow the truth.

Perhaps, I heard rightly and correctly…she is in a happy steady relationship!

~ She asked me to meet!
I could not say no. I could never say no to her ever perhaps!

Astonishing, I agreed to meet her! Kindly stupid of me!
I soon take in myself head over heels so keen with this girl…sure a topsy-turvy of life!

Fine! Tomorrow Sunday morning we will brunch together at Coffee shop, at ten past eleven!!
Over and out confirmed!

Out of the window, I kept staring the silver clouds in search of moonlight.
This whole night was the longest night of my entire life I guess.
People tell lies that the Rome was not made in a day!! I exclaimed silently.
One day, one night, one call just changed everything in my life.

~ More the silent and there was more the echo of thoughts.
I was so happy to talk with her. I wanted her to speak with me forever like this.
Yet, despite everything so clear to me, I could not understand even a bit. Or should I say, I never wanted to. I was only willing to see her, meet her and wished talk with her more.
_That was my vow in a phase of woe.
Never thought life will show so many shades of emotions at a single blink of an eye.

+ It rained heavily last night.
There was a cold damp fall over the streets. Cool breeze made the morning so different yet striking.
I wondered if yesterday was a dream and I just woken up. Perhaps, dream is not what you see in sleep, it is something that does not let you sleep whole night.

I got geared up and reached the Café before time.
Indeed for her I always reached before time, even when I was in college and even today when I’m waiting for her. Wonder, how I got late to actually exemplify my emotions for her.

I reached Café too early, booked my table, waited for couple of minutes and then thought to have little walk, for I still need to figure out all the things.

Bacause, I did not sleep last night and all the puzzling varied questions of being a loser encircled me, prevented me to think anything insightful. I was all drained and exhausted, felt so week and perhaps lost. My intuition, intense feelings and interest were juggling to find a answer… ‘Why ME..?’

I walked off the cafe, kindly to find some serenity and perhaps, I wished to hide my tears from the people around. I wanted some 'Me Time', so went out near the city-park, far from the capital chaos and sat silently on a concrete bench. The place was calm and the aura comforted me a bit and also helped me to compose my thoughts. Moments after that call were like a cool breeze bringing a big unexpected storm with a sudden surge of water.

“All is going to be well”, I mumbled fooling myself.

"Yeah all is going to be well at the end or else it’s not an end..",I did like believing this!
I spent more minutes in the park and latter enthused back to the city café road...rattling with foot tiny stones of the street!!

And there at the corner street I found a florist shop.
A sweet fragrance of charming flowers just drew me there. I looked at those colorful flowers devotedly and got more optimistic.
It sure cheered my confidence.
_I wondered that I still had a chance to make a difference.
There were so many calculations going on in my head. I need and I could solve this puzzle of my life too. _Yes! I can uncomplicated this situation.
Felt as if this is a day when my management degree is helping me to take right decisions and adopt the correct path of my life.

On the other hand, it was hard to resist the charm of beautiful flowers which brought a complete different prospect to me. I bought a bunch of orange lily which holds a good attention grabbing allure and smell sweet.

Those were like her, bright, shinning and perhaps to wish her joyous life…and further build up my firm steps towards the café to see her…meet her…

.... this is a final VERDICT!
~Keep your fingers crossed! And sure share your thoughts till now..over all...anything in particular you liked or disliked...

Just so you know - Love Story 3

This is a series of love.
~ For I don’t hate-love-story!

Kindly read the
» First Part (Click HERE) and
» Second part (Click HERE) before reading ahead..

..It took me 30seconds to realize plus 20seconds to come back to the reality and I soon rushed behind her...

But before I could hold my emotions to pour, I wanted to hold them for essence with some stimulating sense. I wished to go through the flow and not just gush around, hence went back to my class. Though the uproar of eager sweet emotions was forcing me to see her, meet her and perhaps share two sugary words.

At least she should know that I existed and cared.

Ah! The philosophy, no dear, we need to talk to break the ice. Wasn’t that a ragging for the junior I thought?
Whatever it could be would be…but nothing was more important than to talk with her, I guess.

After all, it was a blissful beautiful blunder/blend of juniors and seniors bond!

I quickly went again near the class with other classmate of her class. I sent a message to her that I need to meet her, now of coarse! She came instantly. She took a little time to catch her breath looking at her senior alas that was me…

“Hi, what’s your name?” I asked very politely making sure that I don’t scare her with my harsh tone.
And as she replied, I felt some tiny sweet tinkle bells ringing in my ears.
Remarkable was the moment for me and out of the excitement, I almost missed to hear her name.
 “Sorry, Can you repeat your name?” I said softly again.

And as she was about to say, I was asked to come back in the class for it was about to commence.
Sheer luck, I must say…

I did hear people saying, “She was different”
I thought, “She was Unique”
When people said, “She does not fit to the group”
I thought, “She Outstandingly outshine.
And when people said, “She did not mingle at all with ease”
I thought, “She had a mass appeal”

Sheer luck does have a larger hook.
It took a longer than a long while to be kind-of-friends with her, that too through our common friend connection. Perhaps, being a friend never made her feel so frank and free.
I thought she was introvert in nature, but improved way to say that she took her own endless time to be comfortable, keeping us on toes counting hard.
She was fearless, I knew though she never shared her deep feelings and we had no clue.

We laughed, we blinked, but we never got cling.
I care, I share and we connect,
We team up awesome but we were never twosome!

She was ‘Srishti’, a ‘little world’ of desire in me.
With my read up of my sun-sign everyday, I read her sun-sign too almost every day past one year!
I sometimes even tried gifting her chocolates. Every time she denied saying, “I don’t like sweets!”
Of coarse, why will she like sweets when she, herself is a sugary sweetened sinuous soul!
But then she never said no when I shared my bit of chocolate with her!

Perhaps, in a way I did all those little things just to steel her heart!! And there she with her stunning smile back to my something silly act made me feel like I succeed the half-race for my beautiful soul!

With an ‘ally tag’ we moved on our respective life.

On my farewell, she gave me a beautiful hand-made greeting written,
“Friend’s Forever and we shall care this bond”
with a ‘weird tag expression’ that she finds me
“Spontaneous-Headstrong-focused-warm, all at the same time”!
"Never change!" with a forever sweet smile she said.

We both knew we were not definitely exact term friends, for we never could share our secrets or share our hidden truths.
I could never hug her like I did with my close pals and I always wanted to.
I was always too formal; never to hurt her feelings for I knew she was too sensitive and delicate though portray herself as an ultra smart chic.
I never asked her and she never said…few relationships have no name yet people claim to be forever friends!! Indeed what an irony!!

Yes.. it is the strange strong realization after seven long years...like a destiny appeals, I need to call and say all what I really felt and I still feel.

+ I picked up the phone and instantly made a call without more of second thoughts and hurdles of hesitations.

The phone rang…and as it rang…I felt I was getting blank.

Suddenly some girl picked the phone. I was trying hard to recognize the voice. Was trying to hear those tinkle bells.
“Hello!” She said.
“Hello…May I speak to ‘Srishti’!” I said holding my breath.
“Yes! Speaking! May I know who’s on the other end…?” She said very confidently yet politely.

Wow my heart cheered…my world sprung ...I heard her voice after so many years…it has changed a bit over the years…but it still sounds sweet!

“Hi, it’s Arav…do you remember me…?” I asked her being a bit apprehensive.

“Oh…My Gosh! Arav…really! Aren’t seen or heard from you for so many years…where were you..?” She said in excitement and excellent tone.

Woo-Hoo! She remembers me and recognizes me instantly…

It didn’t feel like we missed so many years in between not been in touch....
