Kuch Tho Log Kahenge

PS: I know this would sound a little too absurd... little kyun.... bahut absurd... and also an out of the world topic for few... if you are oh so matured then please back off haan... this blog is totally intended "Not" to make any sense at all... just wrote something i felt deep down today...

Also mind you i am not a big fan of any hindi serials... infact i hardly watch tv... but this ones taken me to an another world... ;).... hence worth penning down...

Kuch tho Log Kahenge_______________________________

My very near and dear (I hope so she still believes that too) even after bearing with me for 15+ years... agrees that this serial “Kuch Tho Log Kahenge” takes me to a very different world all together… Why…. Because every character of this serial relates to every person in my life…

The unique love story of the couple… Mind ya… the age difference is 18 years.. yet the love story is so beautiful… my friend.. (Well lets keep her name hidden for security reasons ofcourse ;) ) ok …. Lets give her a blog name… pen name… I hope u understand what I am saying… ok lets call her by my favourite name…Alisha… So Alisha told me that the love is same as the one I was looking for…. Ok ok… lets rewind my life.. i mean looking for 8 years back :)… this serial exactly depicts my life… Usually a girl falls in love with someone of her age…. Someone she could relate to… but I always used to tel… no .. I would fall in love with a guy who is atleast 5-8 years elder to me…hence any guy of my age who would propose to me... it was a direct noo.... So my dear friend would show me an old man passing by who is almost all set to reach his death bed…. And say… “Go... marry him”… hahaha…

When I started watching the serial initially I just couldn’t believe how much I could relate to this damn serial… And I was like… "c’mon Rashmi… you cant have that little girl in you still alive… so much has passed… you have fallen enough in life for that dreamy girl to be still alive…you are grown up…" but then I cant really explain… what .. why…. but it just clicked my deepest chord…

Imagination of falling in love when you are in college…is so beautiful right.. no expectations… just a hope… the guy of your dreams will come… and you are so sure about that… not sure about you all…but I was very sure… there was no second thoughts to it…

And then …he came along…

The guy of my dreams… life was like a dream since the day we started talking… still remember I was back in college… Exactly like I expected…. Truly very elder to me… Oh “Not” so handsome… but really cute…. His talks would take me to a different world…. A dream world… for all my friends …. It was so sure that “I am going down that lane”…. Which is definitely “not” love… but it’s a fairy tale she is living… and they let me live it…

Co-incidentally… yesterday my friend reminded me of the third year engineering exam day… you guys will laugh what I did… First of all… during the entire study leave I was talking to this dream guy of mine… late nights especially as he was in US back then… working… and me “NOT” studying… I knew that I have always topped… so its “OK” that I give someone else a chance this time… but my friend did bear with me during those days…. back then I had a cell phone she didn’t… but I had to tell her in the morning of every little thing I spoke to “Him”…. So she would call me on my cell using her landline and I would bore her with every little detail of what he said… and what I replied… blah blah blah… till the time she would remind me… “Rashmi… Kal exam hai…. Thoda padh le “…. Lol…

But the best part was yet to come… the girl typing away this blog was “NOT” a poet of a writer back then… damn I could not rhyme anything more than… “Jack and Jill… went up the hill”…. That girl wrote a poem on the day of the exam… and the poem was for him… and guess what…. I called up my friend just 3 hours before the exam…. She picked up the phone in all tension… and asked me if I am all set for the exam… and I replied all excitedly.. “Dear… I have written a poem for the first time in my life for him…. Would u mind listening to it”…. Lol…. She reminded me yest of that incident.. and we both laughed like there is no tomorrow… and guess what…. Just 3 hrs before the exam she did listen to my poem… (Trust me the poem was pathetic…. It was forcefully rhymed… lol )…. And then she told me… “Ok.. you give it to him later… now lets go to the college and give our exam ;)

PS: But guess what... he loved the poem (Blushes !!!) ... And he wrote a poem back to me... Wow... i truly didnt know he was a poet... and i fell for him even more... ;)

Where the story went after that is indeed a fairy tale… yup it ended… had to… it was after all a dream I was living… but indeed it was followed by my real dream man who came along few years later… and…. This true (not dream) story I would rather leave it here… as it will kill the dreamy girl in me again….

Now you all know the story of how this girl became a poet ;)… lol… this little heart makes you do so many things I tell you….

Btw let me introduce you to Alisha… she’s one friend… and mind you the only friend of mine who can just look at me and say…”Chal ab bata… wat is bothering you”… gosh…. Don’t know how she does that…. One day she looked at me… and I was all disturbed…. She asked me… tell me what happned… and me as always brought out my smiley mask… and told her.. “all is well”… she again asked…”wll you tell me today or should I come later”… phew… then I had to tell her …. “Not sure its so funny but this serial is disturbing me”…. All she replied was…. “ yes because it reminds you of you….”….. the “you” you think you have buried… I kept staring at her… she said… “let it go Rashmi… Let it go… don’t cage yourself…. Its time… you let it all go”…

Phew… after that I don’t know …. I am not sure…. But I gather the guts to see this serial again… and today I love to see the girl in the serial and am “OK” to relate to that girl.. the one time me.. and I am ok to tell openly…. I haven’t changed… its still the me…

BTW a hidden secret.. in college I was a big time prankstar… I would play pranks on everyone… each one… trust me…. Infact each day I would go to college and think whats the new prank I can play today… of course life did play the most horrifying prank later… phew… no no serious topic…. Back to the topic… infact in college if I didn’t do any prank and someone is a victim they would blame me… and tell… “Rashmi ne hi kia hoga”… and I would be like…. “C’mon guys this time its not me”… After 8 years today I felt like playing a prank on a friend… of course I used Alisha for it… But the prank is going on… shhhhhhhh…. It’s a secret….

Btw heres the song in the serial I love … btw I love Monish Bhel ;)

In You I am Found...

In You I am Found________________________

Lord, you had said,
Ask and you shall receive,
My voice is going dead,
At least, you don’t deceive…

Lord, you had said,
I am your blessed child,
I am mislead,
At least, you don’t get wild…

Lord, you had said,
You have plans for me,
All around me have fled,
At least, you don’t flee…

Lord, you had said,
You love me a lot,
All put conditions in their love,
At least, your love aint caught…

Lord, you had said,
I should keep following you,
But none want that at all,
At least, you don’t get blue…

Lord, you had said,
You will never forsake me,
All have already done,
At least, you stand by me…

Lord, you had said,
You will always be around,
All see me as lost,
At least, in you I am found…

First Christmas Letter

Christmas Letter

After few months I mailed one of my good friend at the client end in Canada… His name is “Al”… It had been so long I have left the project and got busy with the new team here in Disney… It had been long hence dropped him an email to ask how is he doing... Talking to believers indeed makes me feel blessed… God has blessed Al’s family so beautifully… Praise the Lord…

He sent me the Christmas letter which his wife has written for everyone… its so beautiful that I thought I should share it with all of you all… Through the letter I came to know that his little daughter “Megan” has moved to Mexico from US just to serve the Orphan kids… I feel so touched when I hear news like this… its like God has planted such beautiful plans for each one… And moving out of country, away from family and friends… for being around the kids and serving them… and running a Bible study group… sounds such a self less act… and it makes me feel… what am I doing…

Below is the Christmas Letter… Hope God blesses all of you all this Christmas!!!

Kvistad Family Letter: from our home to your home...


Christmas 2011


As always, we look forward to reconnecting with you at Christmas. As we send a sampling of what has happened over the past year, we hope in return to hear your news and stories.


Most of the time, our house is pretty quiet with just the two of us – Al and I. Megan and Chris lead very independent lives and are pursuing their dreams, but we treasure those times when they come home. Megan was home for 3 weeks this summer which allowed for much fun and frolic. Chris broke his pinky finger late summer and even though he had to wear a cast for 2 months, we enjoyed his frequent trips home for Dr. appointments (and a home-cooked meal).


Al is now a member of the 50 and fabulous club. I am so glad he has joined me! In celebration, when the kids were home early July, we headed to New Buffalo, MI, and stayed at a beautiful resort with an apartment type set-up on the harbor. We sizzled in the sun, climbed the dunes, and enjoyed some fine dining. This year Al’s job took him to Toronto 20 times (this meant the house was real quiet with just 1!). The hotel staff now recognizes Al along with several of his coworkers. In April, Al finished up serving for 6 years as a Deacon at our church and continues to help with financial recording. We are excited to have a new Pastor and his young family at our church.


Mardy had a summer full of time with other people. Besides the kids’ visits home, I hosted a Women’s Bible Study, drove to Colorado with my folks and a sister for an uncle’s memorial service, and hosted my Seattle girlfriend visit for 10 days with a shared trip to Iowa. At last year’s work Christmas party, Al won a year membership to the Morton Arboretum. Since March, I have made frequent visits with Al and various friends. Each season has its own unique beauty and great photo ops while hiking. I’m not sure how Al is going to top that Christmas gift! I did join the Facebook world, but use it mostly to view the kids’ photos.


Megan has comfortably settled into her ministry at Niños de Mexico – teaching and pouring into the lives of the girls who live in the same complex and the children who live in the other homes. Even though we look forward to reading Megan’s blog updates at http://megan-ninosdemexico.blogspot.com/, skyping, or talking on the phone, Al and I decided a visit was in order. Our trip was conveniently planned so that we arrived in Mexico on her birthday. Upon arriving, we gave her a small suitcase full of gifts and cards from family and friends back home, which was eagerly received. We had a great time with Megan on her turf - seeing how she interacts with others, viewing the sights in the Mexico City area, being impressed with her Spanish speaking skills, and sharing her 1 bedroom apartment. Can’t wait to give Megan a hug and kiss at Christmas.


Chris continues to keep himself busy with school, activities, and flexible year round jobs down at school. He has traveled the country with the U of I Ultimate Frisbee Team in spring (they even went to Nationals in Colorado). This fall, he played the cymbals for the drum line with precision.


Chris moved into a 6 bedroom, 3-1/2 bath apartment with 5 of his Fiji brothers. He will graduate in May with an Agricultural and Biological Engineering degree. Chris is interested in alternative or renewable energy resources and hopes to find a related job. Any leads, ideas, or contacts are appreciated! He is a hard worker, a people person, and will be an asset to any company.


Our favorite memories continue to be those shared with family and friends – whether it’s meeting for a meal, conversing over a cup of coffee, catching up through technology, or heading off together on a wild adventure. We are thankful for each one of you, people we hold dear. May the wonder of Christmas fill your heart and home with love.


Christmas Blessings,


The Kvistads (kvistad101@sbcglobal.net)

Date with Myself

Date with Myself____________________________

Yeah today was a date with myself… Don’t tag me as “Insane” so soon… I have targeted to reach another level… with let you know when I reach there

But indeed a must needed timeout… Me with me… Nothing more… no one else… No phone calls (Yeah i have dozen of my friends already yelling saying -"Rashmi tu aise bhi phone kabhi nahi uthathi hai... busy bee")… No sms… No BBM messaging… No Wats app messages… No outlook emails… No client calls… No manila team pinging… No mom nagging… No dad pampering… No bro advising… No prayer time… No God around… No friends asking me out… No gym early morning… No running around… No traffic… No travelling… No noise… No rules laid down… No talking… No listening... No shopping (Ouch!!! That hurt!!!… had a long list planned for this weekend shopping with my best friend getting married next week) ;)

Listening to songs… movies… eating … thinking… laughing… smiling… writing (My best friend my pen and my words)… Loved todays day…

Also amazing news I got is… one of my friend is gone to Goa… and I have been praying for someone to visit Goa soon or else I would have had to plan a trip just for a day… Why? … Need to search someone there… If you guys are my great fans and have been following my blog regularly… I had mentioned that one tattoo maker kid by the name Raju has met me there… and his thinking and words did touch me deep… he wants to be a sw engineer and he had a very good answer when I asked him why he wanted to be one… even I didn’t have a sane answer when someone asked me when I was dancing around that I wanted to be an engineer… a voice in me had told me back then that I can be an agent and help the kid study… But I ignored the voice…. As always…

But when the voice keeps reminding u something everyday it makes you believe that indeed God wants us to do something about the thought .. and let it not be a vain… So I have asked my friend to go find the little kid in Baga beach … and ask the localites there on the beach… God please help my friend find the kid…

Day was good today… Date didn’t mess up thanks to my infinite mood swings since yesterday… I think I have managed to act a lil sane today… so please please plase… wean me from the “Insane” tagggg ;)

Chalo yaar , you don’t expect me to spend my vacations typing away on a laptop . And before I go back , I want to ask you a thing . If you look back at all the comments I have received from you over the last almost two years I have been blogging , around ninety percent of them would make my parents feel like they have been blessed with a girl of outstanding qualities . Of course , there have been some who have explained to me in no subtle terms that I should be in cage suspended over the Pacific Ocean . But in my heart , I feel that all of you have been incredibly kind to me over all this time . So this time around , I want you to be more honest and tell me what you don’t like about me . If you feel there is something about me you don’t like , tell me . I don’t promise you that I will attempt to change myself , but I promise you I will attempt to find out where you live and stab you when you are out on your morning walk . Ok chill , seriously , tell me what you hate about me . I won’t kill you …

Ps: I Love You!!!  Please ignore the "Pink" font color... ;)

I Hope You Dance

I Hope You Dance…

I hope that smile on your face is never gone,
Even though life goes cold and trails are full on,
And when life tries to give you another chance,
I hope …You don’t move away … But… I hope you dance…

I hope you still ask countless questions like a child,
You let your thoughts go crazy, let your dreams go wild,
And when life tries to give you another chance,
I hope …You don’t move away … But…I hope you dance…

I hope you still feel happy when you are back home,
Even though work issues haunt you when you’re alone,
And when life tries to give you another chance,
I hope …You don’t move away … But…I hope you dance…

I hope you still feel small when you reach the skies,
Even though all reasons to smile simply dies,
And when life tries to give you another chance,
I hope …You don’t move away … But…I hope you dance…

I hope you thank God for the breath you take,
Forget all worries, and praise Him for heavens sake,
And when life tries to give you another chance,
I hope …You don’t move away … But…I hope you dance…

I hope you never lose your spirit to wonder,
You be all alive, try to live life with a hunger,
And when life tries to give you another chance,
I hope …You don’t move away … But…I hope you dance…

I hope you give someone a place inside your heart,
And accept that true love can be your part,
And when life tries to give you another chance,
I hope …You don’t move away … But…I hope you dance…

I hope you never fear because life didn’t treat you right,
You don’t get bitter, and win this fight,
And when life tries to give you another chance,
I hope …You don’t move away … But…I hope you dance…

I hope you give God, one more chance to open a new door,
To give you laughter in turn of all the tears you wore,
And when life tries to give you another chance,
I hope …You don’t move away … But…I hope you dance…

I hope you give life another glance … I hope you dance…

How to say Goodbye!!!

How do I say Goodbye______________________________

Have you ever felt the pain,
After listening to a friend,
And story relates to you again,
From start to end…

It’s scary indeed,
When someone,
Unknowingly,
Opens the closed door…

The closed door – did open,
The feeling hit hard- being alone,
But how can I blame you my friend,
You were in pain, and you can’t pretend…

But it hit me hard to know,
I have changed somehow,
And like me many others wear a mask each day to flee,
From the pain which none can see…

My best friend said yesterday,
Though we change, it’s good in every way,
Now we no longer see life as “black or white” (right or wrong),
But we know.. Theres another zone called - gray, which indeed can be bright…

My friend time and again,
You did complain,
Why I don’t cry,
Why I wear a big wide – smile, that’s a lie?

To you I wanna say,
It’s not that I haven’t tried,
To cross the thin line,
To be all fine…

But today, to my surprise,
I failed the run I realize,
And from nowhere today I see these tears,
Maybe it was building up for years…

Ages ago…You asked me to forget it all,
To rise instead of fall,
To wash away the love,
Somehow…

After I feel solace to tell you,
My peace is no longer due,
As now I know, love is to let go,
So easily as the rivers flow…

Friend,
Thanks for opening the closed door,
And letting me know more,
That it’s easy to move on than hold on,
And love ain’t a battle to be won…

Friend can you help me again,
I know it’s ended long back,
I know it was for real,
Wasn’t a lie…
But then, how do I say my last - Goodbye!!!

Food for Life :)

Food for Life…

Have you ever experienced a phase when your soul is lost…. Or your heart is searching for peace… a solace… when everything around seems so unright… and suddenly you listen to some hymn and you are at peace… and everything is a second seems all right … That’s how I felt today after listening to this hymn… Beautiful..

Only thing that is Food for our life… is Gods words… and in HIM only we can find peace… anything we try to reach out to in this world… nothing is as sweet as compared to His Love…

Heres the song…

PS: Thanks a lot Chrys for sharing this video…. Love you… Hugss!!!

All I Once Held Dear... Lyrics...

All I once held dear, built my life upon
All this world reveres, and wars to own
All I once thought gain I have counted loss
Spent and worthless now, compared to this

Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you,
There is no greater thing
You're my all, you’re the best
You're my joy, my righteousness
And I love you, Lord

Now my heart's desire is to know you more
To be found in you and known as yoursT
o possess by faith what I could not earn
All-surpassing gift of righteousness

Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you,
There is no greater thing
You're my all, you’re the best
You're my joy, my righteousness
And I love you, Lord

Oh, to know the power of your risen life
And to know You in Your sufferings
To become like you in your death, my Lord
So with you to live and never die

Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you,
There is no greater thing
You're my all, you’re the best
You're my joy, my righteousness
And I love you, Lord

Hogaya kya Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving________________________________

I know its late to write a blog on Thanksgiving… but for my Lord it’s never too late… ;)…

2 weeks back had gone to church… pastor was talking about giving thanks… He asked how many of us give thanks to the Lord… many started shaking their heads… which meant – “Of course we do”… Then he asked… how many of us give thanks to the Lord when we are sick… when we are upset… when things don’t go our way…. When our plans fail.. when our hearts break.. ? to this all of us were quite…

The theme of the sermon was – “God is in control… God has a plan for each one of us”

He then started with a story in the bible… On an honest note I don’t remember which book in the bible and the verse… but I do remember the story… it goes something like this…

One day a king see’s one of his slave and asks him… looking at ur plight you think God is good… Slave replied – Yes God is always good… Then one day the king goes for hunting in a jungle… slave also accompanies him… some animal attacks the king.. in the fight, the king looses half of his finger… all angry and upset the king again asks the slave – Do you still think that God is good… and the slave replies – Yes your majesty, God is good all the time… To this reply king gets really furious… he orders to keep this slave in prison…

One day again king goes to the jungle for hunting… there few people from some clan take the king into their custody… and he is all set to be sacrificed… when the king was just about the be sacrificed, the clan leader notices that his one of the finger is cut… the leader says – we cant sacrifice this man… as he is not complete… so they release the king… King goes back to his palace and orders to get the slave to him…. When the slave arrives King told him - now I know why God cut my finger… and due to that I was saved… he was good to me… but how was he good to you by sending you to prison… to this the slave replied – God is good.. and he was good to me because if I wasn’t in prison then I would be with you in the jungle hunting and looking at your half finger the clan leader would have sacrificed me instead … :)

So true I thought!!!

When problems come… we keep grumbling… we remove the frustations on everyone around us… when one plan fails we blame God… but God has his own plan and it will come to pass come what may… right… so as the pastor said… we need to give thanks to God not only when things go our way… but also when things don’t… because God has a plan … plan for everyone… plan to prosper us… but we need to keep trusting him come what may… then we will smile even when we are sick… when we are upset… when we have lost someone or something we love the most… as every thing that happens in life is Gods plan… and we should be thanking God that it has come to pass..

In Thanksgiving… all I want to do is thank god for all the good and not so good things that’s happening in my life… but never the less… I will keep trusting my lord my God… as I know he has a purpose and plan for all… and I hope he has one for me too ;) Right Lord ;)…

Love,
Rashmi

Rockstar Relived!!!

Rockstar________________________________

Speechless this movie got me… Despite the fact that the mass audience didn’t like the movie… this movie rocked for me…

At times some movies are “not” meant for large audience… its not dabang type masala movie that any tom dick and harry will come out yelling… “wow what a movie”… Rockstar is a dark movie… it does have flaws… major one being Heers acting skills… But if we ignore that… the movie is amazing…

This movie shows that each one has a dark side… a side which one hides from the world … a mask that each one wear… but ranbirs charater is just the opposite… he is upset, frustrated… and the world can see it… its right there… simple… nothing more … nothing less…

But in the whole movie, there are few scenes which 99.99% people do not understand… in the era when he is all famous… as a volient rockstar, they show that ranbir regularly just goes and stands outside his old home from where he was thrown out… stands at the darga where he stayed for 2 months after being thrown out of his own house… quietly he stands there staring at the place… just shows that whatever his image is to the world… a loud star… he olny finds peace or feels at home at these places…

Secondly, the lyrics of the songs… music… and the justice done to the singers by ranbir… just a perfect fit… every song is so so meaningful… I feel sad for all those who just couldn’t connect to this movie… I felt maybe they have a long way to go in life… maybe they haven’t experienced enof pain to even relate by 10% to the movie and call it a thrash… pheww!!!

There is a line which is shown in the start and end of the movie… which is simply amazing… it says… not sure of the exact words but it goes something like this...

“Beyond a zone from “right and wrong doing” there is a field…. And you will find me there”

Few things which is a total crap in our society didn’t seem wrong… Ranbir falling in love with a married lady… and vice versa… it just looked perfect… not sure how many agree to it… but it did tell that at times… heart speaks louder than the mind… and for the heart… its hard to convince with what is right and what is wrong… it just falls in love…

Few lines in the lyrics just touched me… esp the doha in “Nadaan Parinday” song… one of my good friend told me what that doha means… would love to share it with you guys…

Kaaga re kaaga re mori itni araj tose
Chun chun khaaiyo maans
Kaaga re kaaga re mori itni araj tose
Chun chun khaaiyo maans

Re jiya re khaaiyon na tu naina more
Khaaiyon na tu naina mohe
Piya ke milan ki aas
Khaaiyon na tu naina more
Khaaiyon na tu naina mohe
Piya ke milan ki aas

In the above lines… ranbir is pleading to God.. that if you wanna take my life away, then you can take my each body part slowly… but leave my two eyes intact… as even while I die this slow death I wanna see my love….


*Added Later* (After my friend corrected the explanation given above :P) 


He is pleading to God...When he is dying and hasnt got a burial,as birds eat his body they should eat it slowly and leave his eyes..as he still has hopes that he will see his beloved before he dies...

Amazing love isn’t it…

But I understand that why most of them didn’t like it… as its not meant for each ones level or understanding or relating …. Its too deep… its too dark…

Funnt Isnt It?

Funny Isnt It?

In this journey called life,
We at times get things we dislike,
And we are seized away from things we do like,
Funny isn’t it…

But one thing is so true…
We may or may not move on,
But, life does not look back…

We try to gather back the lost strength,
Time is less, people always there,
We assemble all tears and fears,
Funny isn’t it...

But one thing is so true…
We may or may not move on,
But, life does not look back…

We fall in love with the one,
We spend time with the one,
At times it works out at times it fails,
Funny isn’t it

But one thing is so true…
We may or may not move on,
But, life does not look back…

New people come in our lives,
Some forever stay,
But most of them for a short season,
Funny isn’t it…

But one thing is so true…
We may or may not move on,
But, life does not look back…

We travel across the globe,
Thinking we might get some peace,
But when back, we are standing right there again,
Funny isn’t it

But one thing is so true…
We may or may not move on,
But, life does not look back…
Funny, but life never looked back

At times we halt to check,
Can things still be fine we ponder,
But as expected, life does not wait,
Life just does not look back again…

Funny isn’t it…

Annoyed!!!

Annoyed_____________________________________

After ages I feel annoyed… and sad part is I just can’t let it go off… pattern goes somewhat like this…. Something happens… you are annoyed… but you let it go… it happens again… again you let it go… and then in happens all over again… in my case something happened repeatedly zillion number of times…

And now I am so annoyed that I can even kill Russel Peter’s today if he tried to make me smile… Which simply means that wrong time to talk to me… truly…

Usually I write it out and let it out when I am angry, upset or happy.. but this is something I cant even write about… don’t really wanna make it an incident that I wanna look back tomorrow and recall… hence don’t wanna leave any documentation of the event….

Only some chilled music or rather a gun can help me calm down… Grrrrrr

Sorry no jokes today in this blog dude… Ciao…

Innocence

Innocence_______________________________________

Long back “IT” was leaving.. and I screamed...

Please be here,
Near,
Don’t leave me please,
Don’t be such a tease…

But “IT” refused to stay..

“IT” said –
No way,
I have to go... its time,
To stay will be a crime…

I kept pleading-
I am not ready,
I need you buddy,
Forget the world,
They have always been cold…

But still “IT” didn’t stay…

“IT” said –
If I stay people will tag you,
As ‘Fool’ somehow,
Do you want to live with it?
And bear every brunt of it…

I continued –
I don’t care what they say,
Your presence in me is my way,
I don’t wanna be smart for the world to see,
Please please please stay I plea…

But “IT” left me… and now “IT’s” back

“IT” now says –
You have changed so much,
You no longer have the same touch,
I didn’t leave you to become this,
The old you I so much miss..

But to “IT” I replied….

Please leave now,
There is no place for you somehow,
You left me so that I blend in this world right,
Now I am one of them, have won the fight…

I continued…

I no longer need you anymore,
For you, I have forever closed the door,
I will indeed be called a fool now,
If I take you back in my life somehow…

To this “IT” replied…

I see, then I take a leave then,
I think in your life I am no where to be seen,
Do call me when you need me again,
As only me can make you whole and devoid of pain…

PS: “IT” => Innocence…

Me Again!

Me Again!

Yes, I know I haven’t given any room for anyone to relax… after sudden dip in my workload I really have found all the time in the world to write aiwe hi bakwaas all over again… Yeah yeah there I can hear you guys saying… “C’mon we thought she is gone for good… how come she is back so soon”… Manners people… learn to whisper… ;)

Its said that you should try new things in life… like climing the Everset… swim through Arabian sea… OR… Watch the movie Mausam… My amazing brains thought of choosing the last option… yes I did that… I watched Mausam…. And it left me traumatized… My doctor said that I will never be able to enter a multiplex again in my life with my old confidence again…. To get out of this trauma I flew to Philippines… 2 weeks of change and I am back again… And to get my spirits up and running I flew to Goa too… How was it… just one word… “Amazing”

Everyone asked me… “What was one thing in Goa that left you speechless”… A very typical answer one would receive is … Beautiful beaches… oh the smart firangs there… or the endless dance in the pub… or the drinks… I experienced all of the above… but none of them could have drawn me to write a blog…

Yeh now stop yelling .. I am almost getting to the point… After a long days travel the only thing I could think of doing late in the evening was just relax and sit on a shack on the beach… so we all girls headed towards Baga beach… it had become our second home in last 5 days… while we were talking about current affairs and world changing topic like which guy on the beach was smarty ;) a little kid came and stood besides me… he went on to say … “Didi tattoo banwaaooge”… (Which means – Sis, will you get a tattoo done)…. Well that translation was for all those who read my blog across the globe…. C’mon by now I do expect that my fan list is endless across the world…. ;)

So, I told little kid… go on with your tatoo… while he was showing his creativity on my arms I had a little conversation with him... which left me writing this blog and you guys reading this blog...

_______________________________________________

Me: So do you go to school?


Kid: Yes didi, I do… St.Marys


Me (A little shocked) : Which grade are you in


Kid: Didi 7th grade


Me: So you do this tattoo thing every evening


Kid: Yes, I go to school in the morning, and in the evening I do tattoo


Me: Who taught you to do this tattoo


Kid: Didi, no one teaches us… we learn…


Me(Again a little shocked): So what do you wanna become once you grow up


Kid: Software Engineer


Me totally shocked this time… I thought like every kid in Mumbai you ask, what you wanna become they say either Engineer or Doctor… no one knows why they wanna become one.., yeah now dare you give me that sarcastic smile… even I don’t know what the hell I am doing or have done by becoming an engineer… ;)… so thought of asking the kid the same question


Me: So why do you wanna become a software engineer…


And the reply I got just kept me strangled…


Kid: Didi, software engineers are likes scientists I feel… they invent new things…. They create new things which others can use… and if I become a software engineer even I can do that… tabhi hi tho desh aage badhega (Only then can our country progress)

_____________________________________________


I was left totally speechless with the little kids answer… how many of the well educated lot ...even think 1% close to this little kid… aimlessly we are running… some busy with work… some busy with money accompanied with work… some just busy… totally lost…


I then asked the kid.. apart from all this what are you good at… he said he sings… he has got 2nd prize in singing in his school… I asked him to sing the same song which helped him win the prize… and guess what he sung… “Make it a better place” song by Michael Jackson… and his English was amazing… so fluent… beautiful voice… simply amazing…


That little kid did leave me thinking… and I am still thinking… if few people in my generation can think as high as this little kid… this world would indeed be a better place…


Now I know its not hard for you guys to guess why I have posted a pic of mine with an unknown kid in the start of this blog…. Oppsyy!!! I almost forgot to introduce you guys to him… His name is Raju :) and he is India’s future :)


PS: I know after a really long time I have written something really serious… and being serious is seriously not good for my health… Doctor has recommended bakwaas talks… infinite laughter … enormous doses of crapy jokes to prevent me from being officially called – Insane ;)


So I log off now….For the 95% who thought I am truly gone for good… go back and get those ladoos back from your neighbours as I am very much alive… up and running… and for the remaining 5% who were truly concerned about me… do not worry… Its truly…. Me again!!!

Now its time to make up for making you guys read such a serious blog... heres some clicks from Goa... Indeed apart from the kid the beauty of this place did leave me speechless :)

Love,
