Smile Please :)

This one is totally dedicated for my friend… Don’t wanna take any names here… Well he goes through life totally defeated… Finds a reason to be upset… All I wanna tell him is SMILE PLEASE … Your life is really beautiful...  Truly… 

 

 

Smile please :)

As I look into your eyes,

I can see infinite silent cries,

Why the frown dear, Why so sad,

Why for once can’t you be just glad…?

For being happy again do you want a reason?

Countless I can list down … one for every season,

Can you trust me for once my dear?

This is my gift for you when I am not near…

Are you sad because your partner upset you?

Do you miss him being the one when the relation was new?

If such thought ever crosses your mind dear…

Think of all those who are lonely like the stars,

Pinned up there tight… full of scars…

Are you sad because you aren’t happy with your work?

Your boss drives you crazy, makes you feel like a jerk,

If such thought ever crosses your mind dear…

Think of all those who are craving for a job today …

They are all set be at your place in a heartbeat in every way…

Are you sad because your kids are driving you nuts?

You wanna break for a while as you feel your life sucks…

If such thought ever crosses your mind dear…

Think of all those who would love to have kids like yours,

They would spend millions to have kids without any fears…

Are you sad because of the monotonous life you have,

You feel it’s devoid of excitement, you don’t feel alive…

If such thought ever crosses your mind dear…

Think of all those who’s loved ones are in medical centre now,

How much they wish their life falls back to being monotonous somehow…

P.S

Each of us has a reason to give God thanks. If you got out of bed this morning, you can thank God that you are alive. Thank God that you are healthy… There are lots of people in the hospital who would gladly exchange places with you…

When you drive to work, instead of complaining about the traffic, why not say , “Father, thank you for giving me this job.” We have so much to be grateful for… We should get in the habit of giving God thanks all day long…

So all sad faces… Smile Please : )

'Mamma Calling ....'

Dedicated to All Mamma's : )

‘Mamma Calling’…

As he was all set to leave for work today,

‘Mamma Calling’…. His cell displayed … on his way,

Just reminded him that he was supposed to call his mamma long back,

But workload did encroach him… Time… Yes time… He did lack…

His stressed and tensed face suddenly wore a fake smile…

So that his mom does not know his tensions for a while…

Earlier,

When he was a kid… His world was his Mamma,

Back then he was busy, wrapped around her arms somehow…

Today,

He is busy, but, he is wrapped around workload now…

‘Hello Mamma’... He replied… Trying to be all happy and gay,

He had fallen short of any topics, he had nothing to say,

‘How are you baby?’ … Came the reply,

None asked him this since long, He looked above… He was all set to cry …

He got composed and again brought back that smile,

‘Yes Mama, I am all right’… he said hiding his trial …

Earlier,

He would enjoy with his Mamma every season,

To stare at stars pinned up tight… all night he needed no reason…

But now,

Sitting in his centralized AC office today,

Every season looks the same in every possible way …

Then she asked…’When will you come home… When will you land?’

He replied roughly, ‘Mamma I have project deadlines, you wont understand'…

‘Baby, tell me you love me before you hang up…’, she said, her voice shivering with tear,

‘Yes, mama I do’, came a rough reply, as he saw his boss coming near…

Earlier,

He would keep irritating his mamma while she would be in the kitchen all busy,

But she never got irritated; she would just smile not get dizzy…

But now,

That he has reached the skies, he has no time for his mamma … his first love,

He needs to keep an entry in his to-do- list… he gives his left over time… to talk to her somehow…

Few days later, he again got a call, ‘Mamma Calling…’ his phone screen blinked,
He didn’t  pick the phone as he was in the midst of a meeting,

But his phone rang time and again…

Irritated, he left the meeting room… and picked the call…

But…he heard a stranger’s voice this time…’Mamma wants to meet you ‘...
He replied sternly … ‘I have my project release in a week’,
As he was about to hang up, the voice on the other end said…

'But it’s her release too … Her eyes are waiting to see you one last time'...

This news struck him with a lightning speed,

He told his boss he had to leave urgently… indeed,

He took the first flight and reached home, to see his mamma,

Looking at the crowd at the door step he got totally dazzled…

He went to his mammas room and saw her lying on bed,

Holding her tight he totally broke down … ‘Sorry’… was all he said,

With tears in her eyes taking her last breath she said,’ Tell me you love me baby’

‘I love you… I love you… Will always do… now and forever Mamma…’ was his reply…

Old to New…

Well just penned down an incident that happened in the morning... on my way to work... well... rarely somethings make me wonder ;) ... so just thought of sharing...

Old to New… 

Its been almost 6 months that I have joined Teradata. Can’t believe time just flies… It was just yesterday that I was in LnT I feel…

 Humans as we are with a typical nature, that we try and grab what we don’t have and when we get what we always wanted we don’t value it… Hey guys btw…that applies to me too…. When I was in LnT I found countless reasons why I should leave that place… Teradata felt like heaven and LnT a hell… Some did tell me that a known devil is better than an unknown angel ;) … for those who did not understand ( Known Devil – LnT…. Unkown Angel – Teradata) … lol But neglected all those words…

 
Marked the date… 23rd Feb, 2010 … my last day in LnT… A place that changed my personality as a whole… change my view towards life… changed my life… Right now I can re call a dialogue from the film ‘Rang De Basanti’ … Where Aamir Khan says ‘ Life is what happens to you when you take a right from our college gate’ … So true… Life has changed … Did change me too… Quite times … well my favorite times indeed makes me wonder … Who is the real me… One I have left back in college … the quite girl… Or this whole new sarcastic and funny me … who makes everyone smile when they are with me…

 
Well guys I am drifting away from the main topic about why I am writing this down in the middle of my work ;) … Must say Teradata bus service is the most pathetic bus service I have ever seen… I have already told my manager to make an entry in the Risk Log , ‘Project deadlines can extend in case any resource undergoes an injury due to terrific Teradata drivers’ … No guys I am not exaggerating… Believe me in this past 6 months I have almost thanked God 100 times that I have missed death ;) … Plus the bus condition… feels like it needs maintenance since ages… Well the list can go on… Well today while I was waiting for my bus… my stop is common stop for all IT buses… Hexaware… patni… Datamatics, Syntel… Typical sad faces… Typical Techies early morning… So I was focusing on the bus which would hold the Tag of Teradata… I kept focusing to find my old bus… But couldn’t find it… Suddenly one stranger came up to me and said ‘ Mam someone in the bus is calling you’… When I looked back in wonder as to how could I miss my bus… I saw all friends of mine wearing a smile and calling me in the bus… Well I was amazed… our Teradata bus had gone thru a change… it was a brand new bus… : ) … All in the bus welcomed me as if I was a PM or something… Somewhere I couldn’t believe that the company did change the old bus to a new bus… when I was least expecting this to happen… I had accepted that the bus condition or the bus or the driver wouldn’t change…. I was still looking forward for the age old aadam ke zamaaaneka bus…

 Why the story you might be thinking… Well let me continue… After sitting in the bus I started thinking, so often towards life we keep this attitude… when back to back things does not go our way… we mould our thinking like nothing good can happen to me… and each day we wait for the same old bad news I must say like I was waiting for my bus… with all our focus… like I was focusing on the road to see if I can find my old bus with Teradata tag… And in this process I missed the brand new bus with Teradata tag… and to top it needed a stranger to tell me that my bus has arrived… at times we miss so many new opportunities … new brand new opportunities because we are not ready to shift our focus… And in those times… the stranger that helps us is God… He intervenes in our lifes to say ‘Child, stop focusing on the old… the new has already arrived… and a seat for u is ready’ …

 
Well … Maybe a small incident… But it did make my day… : ) … Btw missed telling you… I got a bonus too… Along with the bus the driver was also changed… So guys… My life is outta danger now : )

I Hope You Dance ...

 Its never too late to dance... Life has so many reasons to dance... I hope you dance... 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…

Are You Truly In Love ? (What Does Bible Say)

Do You Know What Bible Says About Love...

“Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.”

 

Are You Truly In Love ?

"Love is patient, love is kind..."

Analyzing deepy, dont you think,
Patience these days has vanished in a blink,
Kindness in words seems to be nill,
Pricky talks are all ready to kill...


"Love does not envy, it does not boast, it is not rude..."

"Dont talk to him/her"... is heard each day,
If you truly trust then why envy I say,
Frustation erupts as rudeness we see,
Why do this if you love truly I plea...

"Love is not self seeking, it is not easily angered..."

It often begins with your partner being your world right,
Then why does it end with a self seeking attiude in everyones sight,
Anger is one emotion that ends it all,
Loosing completley we do have a great fall...


"Love does not keep record of wrong things, it does not delight in evil...."

"Forget it dear..." is often said after things go wrong,
Then why are wrong things listed in an agrument just like a song,
Betrayal is one evil that love can't stand,
As after that love is seen nowhere, it reaches an alien land...

"Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres... Love never ends..."

Life of the word "ALWAYS" has become quite small now,
Trust, hope are totally lost somehow,
Perseverance is one attribute that we dont wanna give,
But we are ok with depression being our partner as long as we live...

Y Dont I Miss U AnyMore...

Well dedicated to my friends who have moved on and have found reasons to smile all over again :)

 

Y Dont I Miss U AnyMore...

Why do my mornings not start with your name?
Is my luv for u dead or is it still name?
So many questions I have in store?
But one that pricks me is.... WHY DON’T I MISS U ANY MORE ?

Why don’t I remember you each and every while?
Why do I find so many reasons to smile?
So many questions I have in store?
But one that pricks me is.... WHY DON’T I MISS U ANY MORE ?

Why don’t I read your sms’s these days?
Why don’t I wait for your emails ?
So many questions I have in store?
But one that pricks me is.... WHY DON’T I MISS U ANY MORE ?

Why do your words not hurt me now?
Why don’t I wait for your call somehow?
So many questions I have in store?
But one that pricks me is.... WHY DON’T I MISS U ANY MORE ?

Why don’t I search for you in the crowd?
Why don’t I so wanna be loved?
So many questions I have in store?
But one that pricks me is.... WHY DON’T I MISS U ANY MORE ?

Why don’t I weep when your thoughts pass by me?
Where’s the feeling of being caged, why do I feel so free?
So many questions I have in store?
But one that pricks me is.... WHY DON’T I MISS U ANY MORE ?

Why don’t I hope that you come back again?
Why these days I am not loving the pain?
So many questions I have in store?
But one that pricks me is.... WHY DON’T I MISS U ANY MORE ?

Why don’t I keep staring at stars pinned up tight?
Why don’t I think about you all night?
So many questions I have in store?
But one that pricks me is.... WHY DON’T I MISS U ANY MORE ?

Why do I feel so right without you?
Why don’t I still feel you were the only one amongst the few?
So many questions I have in store?
But one that pricks me is.... WHY DON’T I MISS U ANY MORE ?

Why do I no longer feel you are no longer in me?
Why do my words have more of ‘I’ and less of ‘WE’?
So many questions I have in store?
But one that still pricks me is....

WHY DON’T I MISS U ANY MORE ? ... WHY DON’T I MISS U ANY MORE ?

Color Is Getting Faded...

Color – Called Life : )  

Color Is Getting Faded...

Remember the day I bid you adios,

Knew that day I had my greatest loss,

Moved on, totally changed my pace,

But in this new lane why do I still see your trace...

“Forget him...“was told to me by plenty,

Countless are trying to fill my heart that’s empty,

Smiling again makes me feel so very filthy,

Why thinking about someone else makes me feel all guilty...

Seems just like yesterday that we met,

Smiles all over then and now eyes are wet,

Even though you were the wrong one,

Still feel it was so very right in ton...

Your thoughts still makes my heart skip a beat,

Still wonder why we couldn’t meet,

Looking at your image still makes me smile,

Don’t know why it makes me forget all worries for a while...

Everything’s ended, but I recall the start,

The day when we weren’t apart,

So many emotions inside me set alive,

Your coming in made me simply dance and fly...

Talking to you felt like talking to a part of me,

Nothing to hide, not a bit of uneasiness you see,

And your love was as memorable as your pain,

Still feel that my life without you is a vain...

“Move on... Move on.... “Two words has pissed me totally by now,

Easily I did scream and say “yes I have moved on somehow...”

But met you again in the new lane, my thoughts again went insane,

Felt like those memories passed thru me all over again...

Testing time... I thought had again come and hit me,

This time I thought I will stay still and not flee,

Didn’t let my heart get weak or slip this time,

Though it was right, still feel I have committed a crime...

You were the most beautiful color around me,

So beautiful that my eyes just loved to see,

And now my life is getting alive, it’s no longer jaded,

But the loveliest color is getting faded.... totally faded...
