All she craved was a smile or just someone noticing her. She had had a long day today at the resto-bar and her boss had asked her to clock in an extra couple of hours because it was Friday. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">"I am not a shadow to be ignored, I am a star" she smiled hoping someone would reciprocate. Meera glanced at the shadows swaying to the music in blinking red and yellow lights. Oh, wait! Was it just music or the alcohol-induced trance? Or both? As she waited by the women's restroom, she adjusted her uniform to breathe in more air. Her workstation was miles apart from the airconditioned hall and a small table fan was placed near her stool. More than air, the fan exuded pesky noise. She let out a long sigh and peeked at her wristwatch. She felt some relief! Meera wished for time to pass sooner. She imagined sitting on her bed and watching the blissful face of her sleeping daughter. "You will be home with her soon", Meera beamed, tucked hair behind her ear and wiped away beads of sweat from her forehead.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Meera peeked at a table in front of her. A group of boys and girls were having shots and cheering for a boy in their group. Two other boys hugged him and kissed his forehead. Meera imagined herself at the centre of celebrations, having everyone's attention and elated beyond joy. Meera snapped back to the present from her reverie and adjusted her uniform. A wish arose, "what if I bring my family here? My employer should give me a discount. I will talk to him tomorrow."</span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Meera's eyes paused on the wall clock. It's almost time! Her excitement froze as her eyes fixated on a girl waiting in queue to use the restroom. The girl seemed to be in her late 20s and was struggling to balance herself. The girl saw Meera and widened her eyes to get a better view in low light. Then she grinned and waved at her. Meera waved back. The girl giggled and held a railing to stay steady. Meera looked at her with childlike curiosity. She eyed her attire and smiled at the girl again. It felt good to finally have someone look and smile at her. Wishes do come true! The girl waved again and walked into the restroom. Meera was ecstatic! With renewed vigour, she picked up her handbag, hung restroom keys at the stand, and signed the duty register.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Meera sashayed towards the exit of the bar, enchanted and satisfied with her wins! Tomorrow will be better, with this intent she walked to her abode. </span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqsSMo-aj33a4qGT8E7_gGPOgzNMYTFgfqyT7i6y5ysC-iFysASYu4hCjHRJLjsHFzwyGGY8hlh_ABLewU8FLNZUkFBUMGrNGzCTvlF4HCpBt_n2YrHnWG76eX5AAahY0GnrhExOUuWRGDbknNetORfILQig31ltQTCiRHRl35l9ex5SjiE6VKq17Z/s4624/IMG_20220916_220250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="A Resto-Bar" border="0" data-original-height="4624" data-original-width="3472" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqsSMo-aj33a4qGT8E7_gGPOgzNMYTFgfqyT7i6y5ysC-iFysASYu4hCjHRJLjsHFzwyGGY8hlh_ABLewU8FLNZUkFBUMGrNGzCTvlF4HCpBt_n2YrHnWG76eX5AAahY0GnrhExOUuWRGDbknNetORfILQig31ltQTCiRHRl35l9ex5SjiE6VKq17Z/w240-h320/IMG_20220916_220250.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table>monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-84265438569151873612014-12-27T09:47:00.000-08:002014-12-28T09:07:29.114-08:00The day I turned 28 ;) (Yes I dare to say the number)...Am I really this old? <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But alas, I was reporting to work this time
unlike my previous birthdays, when I was pampered silly by one and all!! Mind
raced back to my grand birthday
celebrations last year…that was supposed to be my last birthday as a
bachelorette…as fate would have it, here I am! very much single, hale and super
happy :) Dad did pass a remark ‘this should be
your last one as a bachelorette in this house’ and I was like ‘ho ho ho’. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has been 3 years of numerous meetings
with guys and Mr. right (if any) is playing hide and seek!!! I wish I had a
magic screen to peep into the future and check if I am gonna spend my life as a
free bird or as someone’s Mrs. What the hell! This post was supposed to be
about my Birthday, why am I writing about this shit…this reminds me of those ‘Birthday’
phone calls, many of the people had only one pressing question ‘When is your
D-date?’ ‘should we start looking for you?’ ‘what exactly do you want?’ ‘No
boyfriend yet, really?’ Only if they knew, how they were spoiling my special
day with those incessant, clichéd queries. However, I too was having fun while
replying to them with silly answers ;) I and parents are taking it well, though
at times they do get worked up with hard hitting comments from society! I think
I have the patience now to handle all this but I have my weak moments too!
Those looks of pity and hushed whispers are ewwwww!! This very morning I read these
amazing lines by my master ‘you are blessed, only the best will happen to
you..so drop your botherations and be happy’</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes! I am blessed indeed to have you as
my guru and constant companion! Your grace has protected me and prevented those
ugly situations! I still remember the night I was travelling by auto from office
to home, feeling stressed and very anxious about work! Your magical presence
soaked in all those botherations and I felt lighter…once home, I couldn’t find
my phone!! I just froze when I realized that I had forgotten it in the auto…panic
gripped me and I tried calling on my number but got no response. Again, your
mere thought soothed my calm nerves…the phone has not been switched off yet, I
knew there would be some miracle! Suddenly, someone answered the phone from the
other end, it was auto vale bhaiya asking us to collect the phone from him! In
a city like Delhi, once in a while you do end up meeting instruments of divine <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Georgia; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Georgia; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">:)</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Georgia; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Georgia; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"> </span></span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With grace and gratitude, I had my chance
of meeting you :) Those magical moments, when I was
totally speechless but content to the core…I felt like a gopi, fully mesmerized
and watching you with wonder, tears of love streaming down from each eye! Moments
like these make you feel grateful to be alive and blessed to be on your path!
That smile and heart gesture especially for me that day will be etched in my
memory forever. This was a fantastic year! Several of my wishes and desires
were fulfilled like woosssh! I was like ‘wow’ and ‘how’! You know what’s best for
me and aren’t you being too generous :P Guruji…this longing to be in your
presence is divine..there’s never ever enough and ‘yeh dil…always maange more’</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Coming back to my BIRTHDAY! This time I
feel years younger, more lively and cheerful, and yes at the risk of sounding
self-obsessed, more beautiful <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Georgia; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Georgia; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span> I am
getting better with each passing day! Graying hair, increasing weight, pimples
and decreasing hair volume are not bothering me. I am too happy to notice and
worry about these. The day started with an early morning call from my cousin
brother who was traveling by train to his next posting. Tired of calling again
and again on my switched off number, he finally called on the landline. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had called last night at 12 am too, but
being a stubborn and lazy ass, I always doze off and switch off the phone.
Every year, I hear remarks ‘should have at least stayed awake at least on the
night of your birthday!’</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Calls <span style="font-family: inherit;">of</span> people from yesteryears,
memories of college days, old secret crushes still remembering my day and
dropping messages…ain’t I blessed and so loved by all :P The other day this
chap from graduation days remarked do you remember what you had told me…I
couldn’t recollect and had to pester him to reveal..I had called him sweet
during a chemistry lecture and he being a ‘bhola bhala’ guy in those days had replied
with a cheap comment ‘have you tasted me’ How cheesy!! And we both laughed and
laughed!! There were calls and messages from buddies from whom I hadn’t
expected they would remember my day, while some of the people from whom it was expected
had forgotten! It is very rightly said ‘life is what happens to you when you
are busy making other stupid plans’. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Some of my lovely and caring colleagues were
sweet enough (or hungry for a birthday treat :P) to join me for a small outing. My other plans for the day did not work
out, so they were the saving grace (isn’t grace pouring on me? ;) My college buddy Shalini came over and started spilling beans of our good old days from Ramjas :P I had to intervene to put a brake before she could reveal those</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> secrets..she is always full of life and bubbling with energy. Saachi, my project buddy, was way too generous with her hugs and kisses that day :P She is my solace, always there to lift spirits and keep us entertained with her mischiefs and one-liners. Had she not been there, it would have been difficult to stay put at the new work location. Then came the VIPs- Gagan aka Chicken Chawal, GG and Ambika. They made their grand entry with my favourtie cholocates from Choko La. These folks are always pulling nighters in the office, so it was a pleasent surprise that they could make time from their packed work schedule to catch up.We chatted about some more smart cities, Gagan's love interest, Ambika's awaited wedding, GG's tours and Europe vacations. We talked silly and so pulled chicken chawal’s leg, he couldn’t stop blushing :P <span style="font-size: small;">Everyone was giving him suggesstions on how to catch a movie with the girl of his dreams, how he should do a 'chance pe dance'. Some people's company is uplifting, and with them I was on cloud nine ;) They say, fate eventually brings like-minded folks with similar wavelength together before they move on and part ways. I was missing my old buddies too, many of them miles away and some them married. Equations and relations do change...for change is an inevitable part of life. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The day ended
with a cosy celebration back home with family, again with them wishing this is
my last as a bachelorette. I slept with a big smile! The blanket of love,
happiness and grace keeping me warm on the coldest and longest night of 2014. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Some of my friends were too generous to
create special pictures and write adorable words, which am gonna feature here!
Love you all from the core of my heart <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Georgia; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Georgia; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">:)</span></span> People

Your Birthday ought to be special coz if you weren't born then, we wouldn't have met!! That reminds me of our first ever meeting, the credit for which goes to PJ and AOL's silence program. We were not even friends then and you were already ensuring if I had had proper meals and was comfortable. It was so nice of you to drive us to the venue early morning, despite the heavy fog and you not being able to clearly view the road ahead :P In silence, you wanted to tell us...'I can't see clearly, please drive' and I used to wipe the windshield thinking this damn fog is the root cause of your concern...thank god we didn't end up in hospital :P My first impression of you was 'how will she do this course? she wouldn't be able to keep silence' but I was so wrong! Your determination and will power surprised all of us...as you would put it 'Man she's a tough cookie' <br />

I am at loss of words right now! There's so much about you, and words are not enough to express your charm and awesomeness quotient. For a person like me, it's difficult to make friends and keep the friendship going. But with you, everything just fell in place. We no longer see each other as frequently as we used to and am not very fond of chitchats on phone. Despite this, we share a good equation :) there's something magical between you, me and Shipra, is it the AOL effect? touch wood! I hope everything stays this way...even after we get married :P I know you will say 'I don't want to, mujhe ni karni' and enlightened Shipra would say 'Bol le beta..sab aise hi bolte hain, every girl says this' :P Then you'll go on 'am serious'.<br />

Aren't you the most happiest person I have ever met..your effervescent smile always lifts up our spirits! Shipra's mom had aptly put it, you have that bright glint of naughtiness and innocence in your eyes, and that glow of enlightenment...you are our modern day 'Krishna'. You are truly living the five sutras from AOL. Even if situations are not so pleasant, you always have that smile. And you never utter a word to anyone when you are upset, always wanting to deal with it alone.I still vividly remember that evening, when you were trying to drink your tears and I played dumb, pretending to overlook them because I knew you wanted to be alone. Your compassion as well as the spirit of service and sharing is inspiring for all of us.<br />
<br />
Neeji, your creative streak always leaves me spell bound! Aren't you too humble for an awesome, out of the world, top designer! Your brand 'Maapaa' would make big waves one day, mark my words :) I hope your wish of three of us doing something big together becomes a reality :)<br />

Thank you Neeji for giving us joyous days :) We really miss you here in MV...those evening walks for momos, ganna juice, golgappas, grocery shopping and gedis. And how can how I forget the way you convinced mum for my first ever night stay at a friend's place :P Our misadventure with baking a chocolate cake, how we were licking off the chocolate batter from vessel...your special butter vaali maggi and garlic bread toast. This reminds me, you are such a cleanliness freak...my mum loves you for that! And with your knack for photography and those cool pouts, our pictures have never looked better and more lively! The way you dress up and add that spark of innovation to mundane outfits speaks volumes about your creativity! Your attires mostly have that androgynous look with so much eye for small details..on the other hand, we also know how beautiful and graceful you look in Indian feminine outfits, specially in those saris draped by your friends ;) am sorry I had to write this here, and how I wish I had those pics too!<br />
<br />
Gratitude and lots of love to you :) May this birthday bring in a new era of more happiness, smiles and joy in your life...may all your wishes become a reality soon, and may you keep rising and shinning! One day, we'll see your name all over and then I will say 'Look! she's my friend'. <br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, Sadaf aka Ms. Creative,
Intellectual, Photographer, Painter, Poetess, Researcher, Debater, Dreamer and SRK
Fan celebrates her birthday and I get to write another birthday special post :)
Blessed I am! This super awesome lady is a warehouse of talent and she always
plays this card of modesty. Ever since I have known her, she has always been
that humble, caring and generous lady who always makes sure you are comfortable
and taken care of. In our girl gang, she and I are known to be somewhat
‘shareef’ and ‘calm’ ;) She is such an amazing orator and debater; I really
envy her for her articulate disposition! She can talk on and on for hours, and it is
not just Jibber Jabber. I love listening to her :) With her, there is some
strange long-distance wireless connection. I mean, she is sitting countries
away and I don’t feel the distance at all! Whenever we meet, it seems as if we
met yesterday! And hence, she doesn’t end up receiving any special VIP
treatment :P </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sadaf, I love the fact that our
friendship is so ‘light’. There’s no such thing as you scratch my back and I scratch
yours and only then we’ll be friends. It just feels so natural, no expectations
at all…even silence speaks the language of love with you. You are one person
with whom I can talk my heart out and the feeling is mutual :) I had never
really believed that we would maintain the connection after BSL…but with each
passing day, it only grows stronger. In BSL, I still remember our early morning
and washroom chitchats, and those outings to Stellar Park, Haldiram, GIP…phew!
The Girl power of K-Mantra team was most famous in the premises :P Rups and I
used to come over to your territory to praise our manager, and how you had a
great crush on him :P Haha! On your last day you even told him ‘You are cute’
and his face turned auburn ;) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sadaf! You have been very emotional
too, trusting and relying on people, and ended up being betrayed,back-stabbed in return. Nevertheless,
I’d say with each such experience you’ve grown more resilient and stronger. Plus, you found new friends like us with your trusting, caring disposition :) So be your self, keep learning from mistakes to become more evolved. And keep seeking my suggestions too (I know am being cheeky here :P)</span></div>

MBA, then quitting your job to pursue your passion for academics and research…It
takes guts man! Salute to you! Your clicks, paintings and poems reflect that
dreamer in you. Words are trivial to convey their depth and beauty. Plus! How can
I forget you are a die-hard fan of SRK, particularly DDLJ :P I really wish may you
meet the ‘man’ aka ‘Raj’ of your dreams pretty soon! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Happy
Happy Birthday to the naughtiest angel I have ever come across. Her name itself
contains the word ‘princess’. She is a princess not just for her family, but
also for several of us who have been blessed with her friendship. My time spent
with her is equivalent to radiant, beautiful pearls, which I shall treasure
forever in my heart. We learnt together (PS Trainings) and then went on to work
in the same company project. Back then, none of us knew that this was the
beginning of a wonderful relationship. With Rups, sailing across the storms of
pesky politics and tantrums of colleagues and seniors was easier. We fought
together; cried together, at times consoling one another while sobbing simultaneously;
laughed together like maniacs; shopped together; bunked together; and hell even
resigned together ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In
this era of fakeness, I adore her genuine nature and simplicity. She never
shies away from calling a spade a spade. Perhaps, this is why we are still
friends. And Man! I love the way she speaks in Punjabi. Even my father is a big
fan of her Punjabi diction. Though we are poles apart as individuals, our bond
remains intact to this day (Touchwood). I have a tendency to remain unconnected
and aloof and she, on the other hand, loves to talk, shop and go places. We too
have had our share of ‘katti’ and ‘Don’t talk to me’. I guess I never tried any
‘manaaofying’, everything became normal on its own, as if nature wanted us to
get talking again. Perhaps, we never let those moments scar or crack our
relationship. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Illness is something that puts brakes on our routines and pops the bubble of our parallel world. Whenever we mortals think that plans are working out, things are falling in place and life is in control...BANG! adversities or illnesses barge in your space without knocking. They bring with them their own set of obvious discomforts, troubles and pains. However, they also propel you to dive deeper in the realms of unknown and acknowledge the uncertainty in life. I was inflicted by a certain mischievous 'virus', who choose his timing after lots of planning and deliberation. The smarty virus barged into my system a day before i was supposed to embark upon an elusive, much-needed vacation. Blog, i confess! i was so very excited and was so looking forward to this holiday. Its been years since i took a vacation, and something or the other always halted the plans. At times, it was the unavailability of concerned individuals, parental resistance or other XYZ factors. However, this time it seemed...YES! this is it!! Now nothing can hamper this vacation...until this minuscule virus heard me exclaim and saw me smile and smirk.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They say never ever underestimate the power of 'small', as small things are very well competent to shake the core of any possible entity. Initially, it was hard to estimate the intensity of this virus's effect. I was assuming that the symptoms would subside in a day and i would be able to resume my plans. Another jolt ;) i am totally bed-ridden as i write this. And this is the second time, such a thing has happened. The adage 'History repeats itself'' yet again wrote 'Hence Proved' in the book of my life. This time i am not really upset or complaining. Rather, i am amused :D Maybe this small adversity is a divine intervention to avert a bigger one. Who knows! As i lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling...i focused on the excruciating pain and chills in the body. In the hot and humid month of July, i was shivering! I tell you, each of these viruses bring with them their own set of symptoms and after-effects. And as of now, the cure for these viruses remains elusive for medical science. Medicines, in a way, subdue the symptoms without healing the disease from the root. So the more you fall prey to these micro-organisms, the more immune you become to them. Wow!! wonderful! Since birth, i have been very prone to catching colds, fevers and flues...so in a way by now i should have been accustomed to all this. But still i ain't!! However, this time, i dealt with Mr. Virus in a smarter manner.<br />
<br />
I told myself this is gonna go away eventually! Nothing is permanent and so this too shall pass soon. The whole life is there, several such trips could be planned, so all is not lost. The illness in way made me ponder, don't we take our body for granted always? We slog and slog, ignoring the early signs until a breakdown occurs. The pain made me realize, oh! i have a freaking head!! Other times, i was mostly lost with the daily hum-drum and mindless chit-chatter in the head...too engaged to realize that eventually the machinery would breakdown if not attended to! Plus the cycle of illness and recovery is a recurring one in all human lives...there is no escape from it. And i am no exception. So! i thanked my stars for giving me this opportunity to pause and ponder, to actually rest! So what if i am missing out on the crazy discount sales and newly released movies...anyhow i miss those on some pretext or the other. This time...all this is for ME, so make the most of this time! And what if there is lots of noise and dust at home..i have to seek peace within. In this golden time, i slept loads, lay curled up on bed with a book, and here i am updating this blog after ages. Now! i guess should stop...the eyes can't take any more strain now...see you soon blog :)</div>

Wealth, career, relationships, emotions, marriage etc. Phew!! People belonging to my age bracket are all jostling or are trying to come to terms with such issues. And i happen to belong to the same league, trying to make my way through the labyrinth! At times, i wonder why do we get so entangled with these miniature issues that we fail to see a bigger picture. Thanks to spiritual masters, i am slowly realizing that rather than merely existing like all other life forms we need to add value to our life and make appropriate use of our human body. Aren't we supposed to spread the smiles around and help to this make a world better place? How are we gonna contribute when we don't rise above such trivial stuff. I have vivid memories of i how wanted to be actively involved in bringing about improvements in the society at one point of time. How i had an opinion on every other issue and i loved debating with like-minded people on those. Wow! that was me around...uhmm around 6 years back.<br />
<br />
In between, ambitions like grabbing a good job opportunity, earning well and charting a steady growth path, all the visionary stuff kind of lots its relevance. Really, life seemed like a race and i didn't want to be left behind my peers. I had a comfortable job, earned a decent living, went places, spent the money lavishly and i thought wow!! this is life! The ambitions grew further and i turned a blind eye towards the social stuff. A play of politics at work or should i say a twist of fate intervened and i was out of work for months. In those months, i started realized the futility of my material desires. I discovered that social connections are indeed strongly linked to an individual's professional stature and paycheck. And what a harsh truth it is! <br />
<br />
The dots are now slowly connecting, and yes i am beginning to realize that it all had a purpose. Now, with guru's grace, i am being presented with opportunities to work for the welfare of society. The futile desires are gradually receding and i no longer want every other fashionable apparel in my closet or watch a movie every weekend. I am in no mad-rush like others and am miles and miles behind in the rat race. At work-front, i have made peace with my profession and don't loath the work anymore. I see it at as a duty and give my cent percent efforts and that is partly attributable to the absence of dirty mud-slinging politics. Yes, dear blog! i am changing for good. The process of transformation is shaping me up and would gradually reveal the diamond within.<br />
<br />
I am savoring bliss and the nectar of gratitude, i have had those moments when tears of divine love and gratitude rolled down my cheeks. It is said that in those moments that you truly live your life and all thanks to Guruji's grace, i have experienced those. At times, when someone asks 'what is it that you really wish for?' i go totally blank. Really, the desires are fading away and i believe that whatever i need would be taken care of. Though, there are still dilemmas, dark spots and certain nick-nacks that are not yet plugged. I have faith that they would be taken care of by divine powers in the best possible way. <br />
<br />
At times i feel like i am Mr. Darcy's reincarnation :P Really! i am grossly misunderstood by people, i find it hard to express and my arrogance is mostly perceived as 'not interested'. Does that bother me? Well! not much now i would say, but it still pinches at times when i am not able to get my point across. It hurts when i see people on the wrong path and i am unable to do anything about it. With time, i hope the feeling of contentment is gonna plug all the loop holes and i'll achieve the ultimate purpose of life. And i sincerely hope that i pen down and publish the book within :) Someday yes, it would happen!!<br />
<br />

I know you are doing well. Day by day I am beginning to acknowledge your omnipresent existence. Is it because I don’t have much to do nowadays? Or has the sudden deluge of infelicities made me meditate? Maybe both. Today I thought of stopping by and write in all my qualms.<br />
<br />
I would like to start by expressing my appreciation. You are doing a pretty good job of instigating sharp twists and turns in my journey on this planet.Needs skilful maneuvering to survive! But I am managing…learning on the wheel and yeah enjoying the Zig Zags. In fact, where’s the fun in traveling on a smooth and straight path? That would tend to get monotonous after sometime and I won't be able to withstand humdrum. So a thundering round of applause and “Bravo’s” for you :)<br />
<br />
Now, let me show you the other view behind the fence. Man! You fuck head on and I am flabbergasted. I had never ever envisioned such dark times. We never foresee ill-fortune do we? And why should we? Life is beautiful anyway isn’t it! When everything is perfect we are like Wow! We exclaim ‘Living it up!’, ‘Living life king size’. Life! You appear tamed then and we mortals are gratified. Everything is in control. But you! Yes you! You don’t like being laid against your will. Springing up uncannily is your style! I like it ;) Bows!<br />
<br />
There are days when I wake up with disbelief. Why am I here? What should I do to add value to my existence? They say life is a precious gift bestowed only on special ones and I embrace this gift. However, I don’t want you to drag my role in this rule driven drama. Inertia is corroding my zeal and mediocrity is throwing me off-balance. I am not giving my cent percent to anything! Anything! Indeed! I am a good for nothing fellow nowadays. A burden that is to be disposed off to another house soon…read Marriage!<br />
<br />
A chain of irrational rules has wounded my core. Their grip tightens with even a slight hint of resistance. Yet these constraints can’t deter my spirits. No matter how adverse the circumstances become, they can’t put a brake on my train of whims and dreams. Those can’t be taken away from me. My dear life, you are sweet, bitter and sometimes you have that sweet-bitter combo taste. I don’t like the bitter one but then medicines are mostly bitter in taste. Wise women and men say that hardships bring out the best in you, an aspect of your being which was undiscovered. They carve your character and make you stronger. Well! They are wise people and I am not going to counter their experience and knowledge. So, I see, that pain is important to grow, be wise and smart. WTF! I am growing but where is this growth leading me to? You would say, be patient and trust me. I trust you but how long is this wait? This is not trust you would say! Phew! You have spared no other option for me. Years later, I am sure I’ll be able to look back with relief and connect the dots together. You must be wondering, I complain a lot :P Sigh! I concede!<br />
<br />
Today is Good Friday!
<br />
<blockquote>
He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not His mouth. – Isaiah 53:7</blockquote>
Strange, something similar happened with me today. I am not comparing my trade-off with the sacrifice made by Lord Jesus. Yet, I couldn't overlook the analogy. Perhaps, I could be asked to let go my aspirations and settle for a 'Safe and Happy' life. People shall refer to me as a "loser" or "submissive lady who couldn't even stand up for her own beliefs and desires". And in the process, I will end up hurting friends who care for me, for no fault of theirs. Nevertheless, I will withstand these blames with patience and faith. Life, I pray for strength to endure and defy. Deep within, I know you shall not let me down and I won't drown my spirit yet. Will hold on! After all,there's Easter to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ after Good Friday. I believe in happy endings :)<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
Warrior :P

The sprouting seed's agony is oblivious to the world around, for he is buried deep down in the lap of mother earth. His tears are rendered inconspicuous by the darkness i.e. absence of light. The light, that nurtures and harbors. The darkness seems like eternity and yet the seed nurses hope of growth...monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-23198654309988467292011-09-05T08:09:00.000-07:002011-09-06T07:30:20.819-07:00MirageRusty snuggled up against my legs, indulging in the warmth. I caressed his lustrous coat, affection glittered in his jet black eyes “You so enjoy that Rusty don’t you? Naughty doggie, now move away and have your meal”. He whimpered “Rusty I want to reminisce, please!” his eyes had those pleading looks “So very smart of you! OK you are my best friend, if you want to be here then sit quietly!” He quickly curled up near the chair and looked at me with raised eyebrows. I cleared my throat, adjusted my spectacles, closed my eyes and focused on the gentle back and forth motion of rocking chair. “What a journey!” I marvel and smile. I opened my eyes and pulled a bronze shaded hardback photo album. The album’s title read ‘Golden Era-Bronze conceals Gold'; this intriguing title had captivated me many moons ago and I bought it right away from an antique shop .<br /><br />My wrinkled fingers browsed the ‘Golden Era’ embossing. I wasn’t very much into preserving pictures for memories sake in those days. For me, memories were meant to reside in hearts rather than being frozen on paper prints. A picture in print was an indication of ‘end of physical proximity’; despite of harboring those beliefs I don't know why I purchased that album.<br /><br />Sigh…I have had a fairly satisfactory journey so far. I have a superb family, met remarkable people and had endearing friends. Granddaughter, my little princess visits me every weekend. She keeps me going in the twilight of my life. In an old age home, it gets monotonous at times for there are same old wrinkled faces all around. Young blood is inimitable. That reminds me of my University days. How we girls spent hours in ‘Bird Watching’:P Nowadays, it's the buoyancy of my spirited buddies that keeps me going at this place, i glanced at Rusty. Rusty was four months old when i saw him for the first time at my friend's place. His innocent eyes had entranced me. She was looking for an owner and i being a gracious soul adopted him. And my of course, my Princess, I am reliving my childhood days with her and she says she aspires to be like me. I coax her to be herself and carve her own niche identity.<br /><br />Teleportation is the best scientific innovation so far. It is so magical! I mean all you have to do is imagine and Huf-Puf! You land at that place! Star War style. The other day I had those shopping cravings so guess what! I landed in streets of Paris and bought an elegant Hat and a pearl necklace :P And Hey! Its Mercy’s birthday today, let me ‘Face time’ with her. Switched off! Sigh! She was a ‘good friend’ once upon time. Though, she still is but our definitions of ‘Good Friend’ got unsynchronized as time passed by. The equations got somewhat imbalanced and things were never the same again. And with others as well the gaps grew. We all try and meet once near the lake on last Saturday of each month, some make it, some don’t. I somehow knew all along that a phase would come when intimacy would gradually fade and yet deep inside I was worried. It finally happened and we all are living with it. I am still fond of my gang, they've made me the person that I am today and we all have a hearty laugh reminiscing old times.<br /><br />Rusty is getting irritated “Sit down boy; I am not so young you see!” I guess I’ll have to take him out for fresh air, he's not at all patient.I glanced at the bronze book ‘Next time Darling’ and the album went back to the shelf. I wore my ‘not so new, not so old’ hat, walking shoes and grabed the umbrella. Rusty and I face the mirror "Man! i still have that charm :P" Wink! Wink! I close my eyes and Huf-Puf!monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-29972214838126762582011-05-29T07:48:00.000-07:002011-05-29T10:21:00.240-07:00Wavey mind!I can’t figure out what’s wrong with me. I am so pissed off with me and others. I don’t know why I am feeling so let down. The recurring phenomenon of bad dreams has started corroding my psyche. I have heard that dreams are a reflection of subconscious mind so that implies that something somewhere within is just not right. But who’s going to sort out this mess? To clean up all one has to plunge in deep shit and am not very willing to do that. I just want to forget all and let things be and am hoping that this approach works. Period!! <br /><br />There are times when I turn in and start observing the perennial wave of thoughts in order to tame those. Osho calls for observation of this wave, the observation gradually subdues those and they eventually dissolve in space. This is my mind’s graph. Crests and troughs...straight line again followed by crests and troughs. Strange na!! This instability drives me insane at times, at one moment I am calm as a sea and the next instant I venture into a forest of fantasy or ride on the roller coaster ride of emotions. <br /><br />What a beautiful garden our mind is!! I want to take walk, there I go :) Cyamonicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-65107922267044605442011-05-22T09:50:00.000-07:002011-05-22T10:05:50.289-07:00Nearing the quarter milestone...Shit<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSMGXA3g-lttscddJiLsXLDt4f72d8Pr24Q-owwzkc7iff5a7I4RjuEPshWZy2hL4wWRLi7GI5KIsREQ9GTdgHK0SLR7zXkDnnCU2JkhyphenhyphenlPfbvFHM8RjzhwlKgZvvwCasXiOig-rPqpDc/s1600/Photo0623.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSMGXA3g-lttscddJiLsXLDt4f72d8Pr24Q-owwzkc7iff5a7I4RjuEPshWZy2hL4wWRLi7GI5KIsREQ9GTdgHK0SLR7zXkDnnCU2JkhyphenhyphenlPfbvFHM8RjzhwlKgZvvwCasXiOig-rPqpDc/s400/Photo0623.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609586623589731666" /></a><br />Life…beautiful and a bit messy: P I have almost made it to the quarter milestone of life’s my journey and I don’t know how many more such milestones are to be traversed. Shit! It’s like a simple labyrinth. I almost have all that I had wished for (or do I?), intentionally or otherwise. A job...Check and hey I so wanted to work for PwC and yes am supposedly employed by them, cool environment at work...Check, monthly pay...uhmm can say not bad! But it’s far behind my set target for this milestone. Diamonds...check plus a rider, they are not self bought. A PSP and an ipod... a big question mark! Good friends...Check! Friends for life...uhmm can’t say! Attend a close friend’s marriage...naah not yet. Movie every weekend...forget it! A nice long relaxing holiday...?? A friend to share all at workplace...CHECK! Lucky me...I literally spend my entire day with her 5 days a week! My own car...sighs!! Only in my dream. Personal growth...uhmm yes sort of. Variety in wardrobe...well yes but there’s still lots more stuff to experiment with.<br /> <br />My report card isn’t that bad so Hurray! Look at me! The head is full of crap and shit...see! I so used to play with words and get it all down so effortlessly. Damn! That’s a BIG red mark on my report card. Well, I had ambitions of carving a book in solitude at a nice cottage in a hilly place with a cute kitty by my side. Now, it seems that’s never ever gonna happen. Writing made me feel special and now it seems like an identity crisis to me, thanks to this writer's block. Writing was spiritual for me, I felt centered and connected. At times, I wonder whether I have lost it because of the inflating ego balloon within. I used to be so humble and now I lose my cool so easily. And very often the anger swells up and converts into tears...I so hate that moment. Later on, when I look back at those random outbursts of mine I go like ‘So stupid of me’! My god!! The last one was so...forget it!!<br /><br />Here I go,stuck in the middle again. I wish there was a medicine to cure this writer’s block...Shit!monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-91521067571857926022010-11-09T09:04:00.000-08:002010-11-09T09:15:22.731-08:00Obama did it!Yes Obama did it! And India reveled in the pleasure. India and Obama make a fantastic pair.This relationship has finally hit a new high. Both are going around and painting the town red (read Media). For long, India has been trying hard to seduce America and outwit the charms of courtesan Pakistan. I’d like to believe America still has a soft corner for Pakistan, though these days it can’t help but be allured by the oomph of this Young, bold and brazen country. Media is going berserk with this liaison. By telecasting this affair they have got sumptuous fodder to feed the hungry common man cow. Newspapers could finally put the ink in their publishing machinery to good use. Columnists and of course bloggers like me have got intellectual matter to ponder upon and exercise those indolent creative cells in brain.<br /><br />Speculations of this visit by the head of the most powerful country in the world started since the day Obama took those Presidential vows. Will he or won’t he? Considering the fact that Clinton and Bush notched up their popularity charts by landing here in India, the news of his November visit hardly came as a surprise. Clinton was a charmer. His charisma won him millions of hearts and that million included mine too :P I was in school then and Clinton was fresh out of this Lewinsky scandal. Lucky Lewinsky, I don’t blame her at all. My school friends used to tease me about that since Lewinsky and I share the first name. I confess blog, I secretly enjoyed those taunts and those Monicaaaa oh my darling lines!! That reminds me of my school friend Yukti, she still writes those lines on FB. Love you Yukti :)<br /> <br />Bush’s visit didn’t create that magic and flutter. After all, it’s difficult to match up to Clinton’s standards. His visit to ITC Maurya’s Bukhara raised that place to another league. I am hoping I get to visit that place one fine day and savor that famous Clinton platter. Such futile and worldly dreams I have no! Cut back to present. Obama and Michelle’s trip enchanted us and we wanted the fairy tale to go on and on. Obama’s oratory skills are eminent and he added zing to his speech by referring to Vivekananda, Gandhi and Ambedkar. Applauds in Parliament and repeated telecasts of his profound speech made me proud to witness this historic moment. The moment that catapulted India into a new league. Obama initially acted pricey, he had that difficult to be pleased and snotty aura around him. However, his speech indicated that he has accepted India’s proposal and is ready for the next step. <br /><br />I marvel at the games these dignitaries and high profile people play. They know how to fixate their images in minds of people and conquer their hearts. All they have to do is sprinkle their speech with certain ‘personalized references’ and everyone concerned will surly sit up and take notice. Everyone loves attention isn’t it? It’s all about playing the right cards to captivate and then etching out an image in the hearts of public. Looking at it practically, he promised nothing great to India. Just a few assurances as per my knowledge and a few deals here and there. Oh I forgot!! Assurances do weigh a lot when they come from the most powerful man in the world. It is hoped that his next trip includes his daughters as well. Be our guests!!<span style="font-style:italic;">Atithi Devo Bhava</span>monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-21393454428809505882010-11-07T08:45:00.000-08:002010-11-07T08:58:55.884-08:00I have time on my side...Sweetheart<br /><br />I have so many things on my mind right now! Phew!! Yesterday night I was contemplating an introspective kind of post for you. But then today’s day turned out to be pretty eventful. I’d like to share a few tit bits with you.<br /><br />I wanted to spend my last holiday in peace at home, maybe catch up with pending reading stuff. However, fate had other plans for me…Now! I hadn’t anticipated the velocity and force of the so called plans. Here it goes...<br /><br />It was a long drive to my cousin’s place and the drive on a November morning was a pleasure. I believe Delhi is at its best in November and December. There was a slight nip in the air and the smog due to Diwali was persistent this morning as well. A signboard that said ‘Connect with Life’ caught my eye. “I am already connected to life, in fact, I am hooked:D “I told myself assertively. Two semi naked kids were offering marigold flowers to Ganesha and Laxmi idols on a footpath near a traffic signal. They had that naive look on their faces. Meters ahead I saw an aged couple dodging cars, supporting each other and walking hand in hand. “I have seen and grabbed all, don’t want to live that long” I wondered. “Oh! Now don’t get started again”, “Got the stones, now all my wishes have been granted, can die in peace!” “Uff, there’s a lot to be explored, time knows when you’ll breath last so shut up and let it play it’s game, till then enjoy the bliss in each moment” Sigh. See! Several sides of me!<br /><br />Finally I landed at my first destination. “Hey you look smarter than before!” Mind said ‘Tadda Danger ahead’. After we all were settled down and done with the greetings and niceties bang came the grand missile shots. An elder cousin casually asked “Are you single or are you going around with someone?” “Still single!! That’s boring”. Megha you are a dead duck! She has apparently shortlisted a ‘Smart and a handsome guy’ for me.”Please!I don’t want to”. “He too cribs like you! Don’t worry he will settle down in a year or two…I just wanted to let you know”. “Is he your friend?” “No just a colleague of mine”. Megha Ignore!! “Btw when do you intend to…” “Not now atleast! 3-4 years later may be” “Hmmmmmmmmmm”. Phew! Thank god! I successfully dodged those missiles. It got over then and there but somehow I knew that this was not the end.<br /><br />Take Two!! Sabse badhe vale chacha. “How’s the work going? You are permanent now right!” “Permanency does not belong to the dictionary of private sector”. So, he asked my dad “Is she ready?” He looked at me, I looked the other way. “Ask her” and all eyes were on me. The spotlight was on me like in Yash Raj’s Dil toh Pagal ha.I had that “Kya ha” look on my face. “Not now”. Then “When?2 months, 6months?” “3 years” “Naa! That would be too late” “I had a proposal from a family friend, the guy is in TCS with a really good package. He won’t wait that long”. Who cares I wondered. And moreover TCS !! That bloody company has rejected me twice. I have pledged to never ever be associated with that company. Ughh!! I am still a naïve kid, why are these people in such a hurry. My cousin probably knew what was going on in my mind because she too had those same dilemmas few years back. “Megha I understand your concerns, but you see you’ll have to compromise once you cross the 25 barrier. Then you’ll have to ultimately go for Uncle Type’s. I don’t want to see you compromising.” Then she supported her arguments with examples of her friend and friend’s friend who are still single and looking because they had tantrums like me. “I have career issues, am still not sorted.”The end.<br /><br />Take three!! The next chacha. Aunty was complaining “I have all the time and money to explore new places but my knee pain doesn’t permit those explorations!” I casually told mom “See, this is my age to see new things, later on I will also complain like this. So take me to new unexplored destinations” “Get married and explore the world with your hubby” exclaimed my cousin who’s five days younger than me. “Hello, now you don’t start off…why don’t you get hitched?” “I am a guy and you are a girl and moreover I’ll marry a younger girl so you see I have years. You, my sister are already late” “Kyaa!! Don’t you worry!” “I am your brother! Who else will worry” “Later we’ll talk about this not now” “<span style="font-style:italic;">Tere ko koi pasand kyun ni aata</span>! Choose your own guy, life would be easier for your parents also”. I choose to stay quiet. For one, why should I settle so early! I am still so kiddish. This is one reason I avoid social gatherings. Moreover, I absolutely abhor the formalities and these people will object to my ideas. I’ll be absconding for sure :P that’s my crazy bollywoodish idea. Blog keep this a secret sssssssshhhh What an eventful day today was!! Loved the ups and downs :P Am still in the don’t care mood regarding marriage vows. I have time on my side…amen :)monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-85960904729534204272010-09-12T09:45:00.000-07:002010-09-12T10:30:30.233-07:00Shopping dilemmasDear blog,<br /><br />It’s been a long gap and why? I had no stuff to ponder upon apart from all my negativities. Great! I guess for now I am away from all that. I just don’t want to give importance to self doubts; they can wait for the time being. Let us get going with the good stuff! Wohoo!<br /><br />It’s been raining incessantly since morning and the sound of rain drops splattering on the roof is music to ears. Very often, this sound gets drowned in daily melancholy and we miss out on it. We are so tangled up with our non-sense chain of thoughts that we are unable to savor nature’s nectars. Freshly polished leaves glisten in the sun’s light. The mischievous mind starts racing again. Here, there and everywhere. I think our thoughts can easily surpass the speed of light, be it in air or vacuum. What an efficient factory our mind is! There are visions, impulsive cravings, positive, stable and negative notions. Cravings and visions inspire our actions. Actions in turn trigger reactions. Reactions fuel more thoughts and so on. I don’t really want to delve into philosophical realms as of now though this weather is conducive for such philosophical deliberations. May be I am beginning to take this ‘dadi ma’ term a bit seriously. <br /><br />Let’s talk young: P Yesterday evening I went shopping with a dear friend. I must say, an evening well spent. I remember few harried faces of husbands and boyfriends who had tagged along with their partners. The expressions on their faces hahaha…my God! “Yes this is good, take it and let us go” said he and the discontented female goes like “No! This is too simple, tell me na…how about this?” .I marveled at both of them. The man, who was blindly giving opinions without even caring to look at the object in question and the ever confused female who couldn’t make up her mind and was asking for approval from a disinterested companion. Who’s to be blamed? I would say both. We girls are as always Confused! Most of us are not comfortable with our bodies. Either we are too short, too thin, too fair(Yes!), too dark or too tall and how can I forget too fat! On top of it, not many of us can visualize the outfit on our bodies. It takes a trial to accept or reject an outfit; of course trials are important so as to check the fit but we have a tendency to carry tons of them for trial. Sigh! It gets too tedious for the male companion waiting outside and then again he nods half heartedly “Looks fine” and she goes like “Naa! I don’t like it, let me show you the other one and please get me a smaller size for this one in the mean time”. I so pitied that guy. He was carrying a baby in his arms, poor thing! How boring it must have been for the baby as well. There was another interesting scenario, a lady was choosing lingerie and was taking opinions from her man. He looked a bit embarrassed and was like “Good, let’s go”. I mean come on, she is the one who’s going to wear it and she has to take a call on fit and comfort. How in the world would he know? <br /><br />Now, let me take a look from the other side of the fence. We girls proudly acknowledge the fact that we can’t make up our mind easily when it comes choosing for self. So, that’s why we tag along our partners or friends so that they help while short listing garments. Generally, we avoid girl friends because they never ever give true opinions. They get jealous easily and we are apprehensive of their choices (“She wears such nice outfits but while shopping she picks up third class items for me, why is she so jealous of my figure! Bitch!”). So, we prefer male company. They are straight forward and we are always the “most beautiful woman in the world “for them. They flaunt us to the world. So, we deserve a nod of approval from them don’t we? We painstakingly shortlist sexy, bright and elegant outfits and all that we ask for is their nod for the best amongst those. The one that would flatter our figure, conceal that puppy fat and makes us feel like “the most beautiful woman in the world”. While short listing we get confused. The color of one is nice, the style of other is nice and cut of the other is flattering and so on. So one by one we try on the garments and look at you for your suggestions. You nonchalantly say “Yes, baby you look gorgeous in this” to all. “How in the world can you say that? Are you color blind or what? Can’t you make out that I look fat in this?”There in lies the problem. You guys ought to be frank and be man enough to say “This makes you look fat!” Rather than nodding blindly to all. <br />Amazing! Both the parties are right in their own way, can’t blame either of them. <br /><br />All I will say is, Guys be patient and be frank! Girls, don’t let the variety get to your head, pick wisely(Again, can’t help the Dadi trait :P). I hope my friend is not going to kill me for this. Though, I’d like to believe that I was patient and frank with my opinions. I too belong to the fairer sex and have my own share of confusions and nakhras:P(See, I am so honest). I think I would make a perfect style consultant. That would be like the best job in the world :D<br /><br />PS- This was a nice hatke post! Blog I hope you love this one :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifldK7SPs3ox7mtcTpWhtVMiAo7V_7dCz3oF3T-KvL7oAyv8m4m_SP_A3SfJEjVQ7oN1D-XtnfHq8JB56QF-cFaVdvdUdXDCT4G5lUKTjg-Ij35MwWPHz3YzNpfcGwSU1Ws2mW2NLQfC4/s1600/1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifldK7SPs3ox7mtcTpWhtVMiAo7V_7dCz3oF3T-KvL7oAyv8m4m_SP_A3SfJEjVQ7oN1D-XtnfHq8JB56QF-cFaVdvdUdXDCT4G5lUKTjg-Ij35MwWPHz3YzNpfcGwSU1Ws2mW2NLQfC4/s400/1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516068598839330338" /></a>monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-37464646993863321172010-08-08T08:39:00.000-07:002010-08-08T08:47:24.348-07:00Futile and fruitful lifeDear Blog<br /><br />Look at me! Waves of restlessness are creating havoc in mind’s abode, trembling hands, sleep disturbed by persistent nightmares and a void created by an asteroid called “ennui”. Ain’t I sick? No I’d like to believe. I am cool, mast and bindaas. I know I’ll somehow manage to sail through this storm and hit the shore. Everyone is doing it and I am equally capable. However, the BIG QUESTION is am I hitting the right shore? I don’t know whether it’s too late or too early to ask this question. They say everything in life happens for good and I realize that somewhere down the line I am living the kind of life that I had visualized years back. I somehow knew that I would eventually end up in this field and would be doing this kind of work. But now, at this stage, I apprehend that I don’t want to be doing this forever. This is not aligned with my current vision. <br /><br />N number of years later I see myself as a contended person, done with all my whims and fancies, sipping in the scenic beauty of hills and living a fruitful life rather than existing selfishly. I want to be able to make a difference to the life of others in a positive way. I confess, today I am living a selfish life. I slog so as to earn. Money that I end up spending on my impulsive useless materialistic luxuries. How mean of me!! I don’t even require those things and I rarely use them, but still I purchase them in an attempt to fill up the small gaps in void. In the process, those gaps are replaced but new bigger holes are also created. I do realize that this kind of happiness is shallow and momentary. The source of perennial happiness is within me and I am yet to discover that. <br /><br />It seems my mid life crisis has hit me in the first half. At times, I get this feeling that I am living a worthless and a futile life. I am not useful to anyone at all, so why not end it. I want to meet my grandparents and my mama up above. But then the emotional ties stop me. I don’t want to be a source of pain and agony to all those who cherish me. <br /><br />I know this is a passing phase and tomorrow shall bring new surprises with it. So sorry my dear blog, I am writing all crap out here. But then you are one of those who has silently stood up to me in dark phases and I can see the reflection of my past in you. <br />Love you :)monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-47416298251630704372010-07-18T08:35:00.000-07:002010-07-18T08:39:37.359-07:00Allah,I seek refuge from my alter ego. She bullies me, mocks my beliefs and jeers my hopes. I avow “This is not me”; “I am you dear, no running away from me. I am your present, past and future”. I conjecture she’s going to be my companion throughout my life span. So I better be on good terms with her rather than brood over her presence. It’s not that I detest her. She’s follows me everywhere, I walk she walks behind me, I stop she stops. She is here there and everywhere in my being. Indulgence is her forte. She pampers me like a queen and makes me believe that “I am special”.<br /><br />However, when clocks tick tocks in darker milieus she vanishes in thin air.”O dearest form! Whither thou escapeth?” I wish to seek solace, yet she’s nowhere to be found. With a limp walk I tread on the highway of broken hopes and daunting dreams. I turn back, no traces of her. It’s a moonless night. Howling wolves send jitters down my spine. I pause for a moment and go on. <br /><br />A bright sunny morning greets me. I turn, WOW! She’s back! “I am not talking to you! Where were you last night? “. She didn’t say a word. “No way! You can’t tag along with me” I exclaim. She’s silent. I give up thinking. Hours passed by and then it flashed to me. It was a moonless night, hence she wasn’t exactly visible. In fact, she was the one who gave me courage to walk on when my feet had frozen in fear. She was the light in my darkest hour.monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-41531748399388459742010-07-04T07:44:00.000-07:002010-07-04T07:53:05.557-07:00Got my wings ;)Hahahahahaha...what’s with me today? I can’t stop chuckling since morning. Hahahahhahaha...there I go again. The alcoholic monsoon season has intoxicated me. Perhaps my desire has come true :P Last to last week I had naively asked a friend to get me wings from his spiritual trip. Ain’t I crazy? How can a human being fly! Yet I wanted to and I think am flying today. Realllllyyyyyyyyy high up above…not literally yet but that’s how am feeling today. Hahahahhahahaha...am Mad! Wild and what not! And no I haven’t had Red Bull. These wings have evolved naturally. Thank you Veenu :) You fulfilled your promise. I pestered for wings like one idiotic woman that day…unbelievable! And man, today it feels as if I have got those. Blog, however weird and foolish your desires are, don’t sweep them away in a corner.<br /><br />I want to fly and shit on my superior’s shoulder and manager’s eyes...hahahahahahah wouldn’t that be awesome! Sheesh I don’t want to think about those two and spoil the party. Know what! Want to go somewhere distant…aahh yes I see a giant cliff. Wow! The green valley spread viewed from up above is magnificent. I can feel the piercingly chilly and violent wind brushing past my countenance. Jittery! Impulsively I raise my arms and close my eyes. The adrenaline rush charges me and I jump. The powerful gravitational force comes into play. I am buzzing in to the forest cover down at a lightning fast speed. Whooooooooooooooo......what a rush! And then nanoseconds before I hit the base I steer and accelerate to the right. Soar up high in the sky. The mere imagination of all this gives me a high: P<br /><br />I so want to go to a jail today and spend a night there. A Fanatical whim! I told you blog, am displaced today and am loving it….hahahahahahaha. What’s with this new found fascination for jails? I think I should get back to driving :P Then this whim too shall be fulfilled ;) Oh God! I need to set an appointment with a psychiatrist ...Hahahahahahaha.<br /><br />Another foolish desire of mine was to splash in a mud pond. That would have been fun. Alas, it didn’t rain out here. Besides, mum would have had given me those Strict Mommy looks if I did that. However, I made up for the mud thing by eating a mango in the traditional style. Eating with hands and sucking the sweet flesh. It got really messy. My hands were wet with juice; the area around mouth was smeared with mango flesh. I tell u blog, it was fun getting dirty. <br /><br />The dormant child within me has indeed woken up today dear blog. She wants to play around, giggle randomly, create unnecessary fuss and just do everything impulsively. Hahahahahahahaha can’t stop chuckling today dear blog. 4th July…hmmm Nothing special today yet everything seems so different. My birthday is months and months away and I don’t feel the same on that day. Okk…I should stop thinking over it. Live in the moment! Hahahahahahhhahahahah....and am not drunk blog. Don’t look at me like that :P I am insanely sane and abnormally abnormal. LOLZ and am loooooooovvvvvvving it :Dmonicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-35866067374376879392010-05-30T07:56:00.000-07:002010-05-30T08:07:30.740-07:00Weddings, Kites and PhotosAhh…The Grand Indian Wedding season is back with a bang! Sheesh…and everyone around me is crazy about it. Crazy about being hitched as well as attending the dos. Wow! What’s with me? Am I the only psycho who gets paranoid when it comes to attending a shaadi ?<br /><br />It all began last weekend. I saw an invitation card that read 29th May 2010. My first thought was like “Who cares? I don’t even know the groom”. I made it clear to my folks, am not attending this one. I successfully dodged the engagement night. PROUD OF THAT :) Had fun with my buddy at home sweet home. We started planning a weekend trip to some nearby place. That ways, I wouldn’t have to bother about attending the ceremony. And luckily both of us had got a green signal from our respective folks; though with Conditions apply tag. We made our best efforts to convince parties to join us but I guess whatever is destined to happen, happens. It was written in Black letters “Monica will be attending the Shaadi”. And I was trying my best to con this. The trip planning didn’t bear any fruit. I told mum that I don’t want to go, would rather stay home and take rest after a hectic week. I got the following Gyaan from my enlightened family members<br /><br />“You are not the only person on this planet who works!”<br /> <br />“Everyone was asking ‘Megha kyun nahi aayi’ on Thursday and we don’t want to entertain any more of such queries on Saturday”<br /><br />“You better get used to attending such dos at this age else it would be problematic later”<br /><br />“Your friends are much dear to you than family! Why so? No more outings if you don’t come along”<br /><br />“It’s been ages, catch up with your cousins! It’s healthy for survival in society!”<br /><br />God! Didn’t have the strength to argue further. So, I told myself “Go Girl! You like the view of parked planes from the expressway, go for that visual treat, and no more boring suits, flaunt your skirt: P“This is how I persuaded my heart to tag along. The shady skies, a gentle cool breeze and the distant cuckooing sound cajoled me to move out. How I wished I could spend that evening with my dear buddies (No meeting this weekend! Sad :|). Moreover, a pampering session with a buddy had lifted up my spirits, had a great time with her. <br /><br />It was drizzling when we moved out. The settings were perfect for a long drive. Rusty orange sky and tiny rain droplets gleaming in the street light, it was as if Gods up above were whispering “Darling! This for you, don’t be upset”. A lovely song playing on the car stereo made me ecstatic. It’s still reverberating in my head. Still can’t get enough of it!<br /><br />Breeze ruffled my freshly pampered hair at the venue. “Not very crowded, I should be fine here” I comforted myself. Aunties unknown to me surrounded my folks. I moved away and saw them looking at me warily through the corner of their eyes. Minutes later, the cousins came in to my rescue. It was nice to catch up with them after ages. The bonding that we shared many moons ago was conspicuous by its absence. Geographies have played their game well. I did manage to convince all for a short weekend trip, Hopefully this shall see the light of the day. <br /><br />PS-Another wedding coming up next week! God Help me!<br />Shuru ho gayi kahani meri, mere dil ne baat na maani meri...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisxFLOiy73seeUQwaHRylTqp1EhZTsmbNs9wI9R5gsHkpyptjVEWLwDWd_4v-O_wYzRCW33NqogM0Q-CvVih0q9bGuCZ3WOofieEY30OFQtCP5ZgqRclG7jDifWwW39Nul03pgEcRWioE/s1600/Photo0105.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisxFLOiy73seeUQwaHRylTqp1EhZTsmbNs9wI9R5gsHkpyptjVEWLwDWd_4v-O_wYzRCW33NqogM0Q-CvVih0q9bGuCZ3WOofieEY30OFQtCP5ZgqRclG7jDifWwW39Nul03pgEcRWioE/s400/Photo0105.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477079533093556626" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXwASuQZfqdipZqjFYZLZ0hUuyrzCarbSXYIHQD8dTWgDrjfq6GAmVSQIrZvfMK0E1nGoACphL0nEBu04AyzaVkadM0jLwjgcDAtzAucthrb3qgzSVId4ydwzRUnanlOwMq9-OnjwAmTA/s1600/Photo0100.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXwASuQZfqdipZqjFYZLZ0hUuyrzCarbSXYIHQD8dTWgDrjfq6GAmVSQIrZvfMK0E1nGoACphL0nEBu04AyzaVkadM0jLwjgcDAtzAucthrb3qgzSVId4ydwzRUnanlOwMq9-OnjwAmTA/s400/Photo0100.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477079532443225106" /></a>monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-70834120650543889362010-05-26T08:45:00.000-07:002010-05-26T08:58:15.992-07:00Nostalgic feverWow! What a relaxing night…simply lying down, no blues to bother me. Feels divine: D Perhaps a friend’s exuberant air has infected me too and I am not complaining. A nostalgic sentiment is sprouting within me yet again. The last examination has aroused the dormant sentimental seeds . Seeds which were rendered inert by the daily hustle bustle and emotional torrents. Words dodge me…“O Evil mind! Quit playing hide and seek”. <br /><br />I marvel at my college days. Those “Hard on ass” wooden benches (Ouch!) can’t replace the cushioned comfort of ergonomic chairs but I am longing to sit on those benches yet again. The centrally air conditioned environs can’t pacify the ruffled feathers within. I was better off in the humid classroom. <br /><br />All these thoughts bring about a subtle smile on my face. Thanks to DIAS, I have a fantastic circle of friends. Each one is extraordinary in his or her own way. I feel I am a different person today, a better version of my previous self. The way all pieces of the puzzle have fit in perfectly, astonish me. We are so different, yet we bonded so well(Touch Wood!). Basic chemistry, opposite ions have a greater attractive force! I think we were destined to meet somehow or the other. <br /><br />Cut back to the present. I think there’s a mystic connection that is evolving and getting better week by week. I have this feeling that I get a whiff of what’s going on in the other’s mind. Very often, when I am thinking of so and so, the phone beeps to announce a text from the very same person. Vice versa too is very common nowadays. Perhaps, I am wrong or may be right! And it’s not just with me; others too can make out my ruminations at times. And am afraid, they hit the bull’s eye: P Wow! Isn’t that awesome? I am loving these mind reading games! <br /><br />Small adjustments in time schedules so that we meet up at least once in a week, waiting, and then being at your best behavior so as to incite the late comers: P Then going out of the route to drop at door steps, despite of being down and tired. Have no words to express the kind of relationship level we are heading to. I must add, it could be dangerous. God Forbid, saying Good Byes would be harder, way beyond my imagination. Why worry when present is so perfect! I just hope that our bond continues to grow stronger and stronger,weekend by weekend. <br /><br />PS-I was reading my slam book and God! I exclaimed. Was I that good really? High end words for me written by high end minds!Those were the days…Sigh! Anyhow a great mind had said “Change is the only constant” .Learning to cope up with the change!<br />Want to write more but words dodge me, i used to write so effortlessly. "CHANGE" :(monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-28454028841641088552010-04-11T07:08:00.000-07:002010-04-11T07:27:08.725-07:00Null effectGreatest is the man who knows himself inside out. I was under the wrong impression that I knew myself pretty well until yesterday. One of my close friends threw extra luminous light on that area. Caught me at last!! Browsing my previous scribbling in this notebook (where I wrote this in ink) made me sit up and take notice of the quantum leap in my thinking factory. God! I was so good at this writing business in those days. I adore the way I connected and weaved magic into ideas and words. I used to be so connected with the soul within. WOW! Now, I wonder on which street I have lost the number to link within. <br /><br />On the facade everything looks well and feels great. However when I look closer beneath the lens, it’s all dark. Delving deeper like a curious kid with widened eyes I perceive vacuum and technically it is known as “NULL”. This NULL brings about a “something amiss” sentiment. I eagerly look forward to Friday evening on each day of the week and when it’s the weekend days I no longer enjoy weekend outings the way I used to. Every morning I have to push myself to get to work. There’s absolutely nothing to look forward to in the day. Very often the gravitational force plays with my center of gravity and it sinks to the bottom. This reminds of Archimedes’ principle of buoyancy. To stay afloat a body has to displace fluid equal to its weight. Now, am I not displacing “ “? But then displace what? Waves within are interfering destructively these days. The source of light needs to be aligned properly so as to enable them to interfere constructively. I am so lucky to be surrounded by wonderful and not so wonderful people.<br /><br />At times I get thoughts like “I want to stay alone few years down the line” and then there are moments when I want to voice my chain of thoughts but I am stuck with “To whom should I narrate?” and then that chain gradually drowns in the sea of NULL. It’s kind of funny isn’t it? Quite similar to the situation of a five year old who wants to narrate his innocuous opinions to an unwilling elder sibling. And when probed further by his granny he has nothing to say. That’s how it is with me these days. <br /><br />At times my “state of disbelief” shows on my countenance and I have people questioning me. I shrug it off as “nothing, just bored” for I have no words to express the ever expanding vacuum effect. Very often I successfully befool myself but eyes and mirror never lie. Those eyes in the reflection always arrest me. And it’s not just those deep eyes. There are smart friends and family members who somehow catch this strange signal of Null effect. Questions are bowled and I hit them to the off-side. Hahaha…such a “womp” I am. Really, it amuses me and it amuses them as well :P I am treading dangerously on the thin line of trust. But I am loving this game :D Gives me a strange pleasure….Such a “Womp” I am.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2b1zZKFOZH20NoQliffQzYO_a-CAJrrICKewCuYevC-HqXof4_3L0ag28wSulr5jMxDohdlpHbqzNXdSKQKPuvUvJgBtSo8cTSdFLaP75fHIyVaEOoWRSBygCmbw3nSqKJXp5AAbQCNo/s1600/Picture+080.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2b1zZKFOZH20NoQliffQzYO_a-CAJrrICKewCuYevC-HqXof4_3L0ag28wSulr5jMxDohdlpHbqzNXdSKQKPuvUvJgBtSo8cTSdFLaP75fHIyVaEOoWRSBygCmbw3nSqKJXp5AAbQCNo/s400/Picture+080.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458884900926430194" /></a>monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-69279057879450873042010-03-21T08:55:00.000-07:002010-03-21T09:25:03.799-07:00Continued...<br /><br />“There’s something strange about today! “ I wondered. I saw a pair of house sparrows flying past a tree. They are getting extinct day by day and I could not recollect their last sight. A purplish twilight tinge was splashed across the sky in late morning, a bizarre sight. I saw a bright green pair of eyes staring at us. I was startled for a moment. A soft meow appeased my nerves. I gave him a fleeting look from the corner of my eyes. Like me, he too was savoring the nectar bliss of environs. We are so alike I observed, perhaps these similarities triggered those tender feelings and now these very similarities are eating into our alliance I marveled. “A lot has changed in the past one month, you realize that Meghna?” he said. “I do”. An awkward pause ensued. “Ok! Let me get things straight. My affection has divided, I want you to meet her once and see for yourself.Game for it?” He asked fervently. I was expecting those words but I couldn’t contain my shock. I went all blank. “OK, be easy” he exclaimed. <br /><br />He took out two stones from his pocket and started rubbing them together. I saw the shadow of a horse with wings on soil and the next instant a blue colored Pegasus was landing before us, his white wings flapping in monsoon breeze. “Let’s go for a ride, come”. He took my hand and led me to his vehicle. Pegasus soared high in the sky. I felt my heart thumping and blood racing through the veins. His hands curled up my waist so as to placate me. Wind playing with my curled locks and that whizzing sound enthralled me. <br /><br />“WOW! Man I love this”. “Let’s go higher up there; I want to touch that cloud”. The Pegasus ascended and it was all foggy around. “Am I dreaming? This is ethereal”. A relaxing feeling was overcoming my being. I felt dizzy and then it all went black.<br /><br />Water droplets jolted me out of trance. I opened my eyes in a cozy cottage. “You fine dear? Sip this you’ll feel better”. I snatched the tumbler from his hands and smashed it on floor. “Why am I here? Get to the point”. “Look!” He extended a leaf wrapped baby into my lap. “I am cursed with Prestunia. Look at her, she’s such an angel. I call her Alice and she’s a garden fairy.” He was choked. I was speechless. “I have to raise her and am cursed to be a loner, I love you but I can’t escape the curse, hope you know what I mean. I don’t really believe in rebirth , but if I were to be born again then I would want to have a soul mate like you if not you exactly”. “Mister! Done with your high on emotions scene? I dump you and Please! I don’t want a partner like you in my next life”. I got up, glanced at the leaf wrapped baby, walked up to the window and flew out with the baby.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjayvognKcPXci-zUb0XY9d7G1RVdFbfIG87FIQG_n4B56Y0224BoSLwsXlmmNxOu7AeNC11kXGTGCEKTuvgFdshLaxIzz5oHJ5ZWXkKktyvG4QYlCipxS4fIAMpDxDoLBXz3i7nvahrRA/s1600-h/2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjayvognKcPXci-zUb0XY9d7G1RVdFbfIG87FIQG_n4B56Y0224BoSLwsXlmmNxOu7AeNC11kXGTGCEKTuvgFdshLaxIzz5oHJ5ZWXkKktyvG4QYlCipxS4fIAMpDxDoLBXz3i7nvahrRA/s400/2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451116715374399634" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkTha2LISrAvZm8HbSrQYNCls54KZ9D3vDE-Q39NVaUowUOsjRiSS1MLRoopyi2QtFuCUH5xI_2OeELq8HDkA_9xlsYRT8YTexUQezC9P-EovwEj8eE9kOsZminabBv8I9GkgXzVxetzk/s1600-h/3.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkTha2LISrAvZm8HbSrQYNCls54KZ9D3vDE-Q39NVaUowUOsjRiSS1MLRoopyi2QtFuCUH5xI_2OeELq8HDkA_9xlsYRT8YTexUQezC9P-EovwEj8eE9kOsZminabBv8I9GkgXzVxetzk/s400/3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451116722845097602" /></a>monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928379270876439655.post-15052515196516656812010-03-14T08:31:00.000-07:002010-03-14T08:44:16.543-07:00A WalkI slung my bag on shoulder and held his hand with renewed warmth. Together we stepped out into a new morning, a morning that shall perhaps open a new chapter in our relationship. Damp sand was imprinted with millions of tiny rain droplets. That invigorating wet earth fragrance evoked tender emotions. Pearl like rain drops on freshly washed green leaves were shimmering in the morning sun. “What a rejuvenating morning after a dull night!” I exclaimed. He smiled his charming smile. The magic was coming alive yet again. Last night was the blackest of all. Our love had died a thousand deaths. His silence pierced a thousand holes in my heart. I was drained by his apathy and had given up on our further association. “This is it, I am walking out tomorrow” I had resolved. Walking out on those 2 years of our association was not an easy decision. I am not the kind of person who once hitched lets go easily. The force of attraction was following the curve of exponential decay. We were no longer fond of each other. Doubts, confusion and monotony had eclipsed our affections. I was cursing myself for having agreed to join him on this trip and give our relationship one last final chance. But this morning was like a crazy dream come true. Probably a garden pixie had whispered goodie goodie things in his ear. I was stunned to see bright shades in his persona. “Come on lazy bum! Let’s go for a walk and iron out all the creases” He exclaimed.<br /><br />Jet black road bathed by rains last night greeted us. I sensed a strange newness in my surroundings. Was it due to downpour? Or was it my intuition that was whispering “Change will knock your doors soon!”<br /><br />To be continued...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjLQlzku7fqQFbWXmT_cI1WOmtLoP-Pwv1c_VYyQ1I43BIikgq4bivRp6Ciy8lqE3mQECVJudEm_2Ett7JoQ737khtqWvwxmcdxuhOT7_jmqmwpb_oJ0r7S7P5zPqUAGWebp7vVWl2RMs/s1600-h/11.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjLQlzku7fqQFbWXmT_cI1WOmtLoP-Pwv1c_VYyQ1I43BIikgq4bivRp6Ciy8lqE3mQECVJudEm_2Ett7JoQ737khtqWvwxmcdxuhOT7_jmqmwpb_oJ0r7S7P5zPqUAGWebp7vVWl2RMs/s320/11.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448512894943491986" /></a><br /> This kid with bright innocent eyes swept me off my feet.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1F2dMf0AyynpCgEJUmR9a-ZOpuha2ySncF2dlxkfkURsHcgp4UOuw2WDLcEyDXkGJVwPIdT5t4qbPXcA7B-U_Sq4O2pKkdfZNEGByv2gi7ynNm1lIAAC5rnhJtteW4kLI3J1PUdaaQWA/s1600-h/12.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1F2dMf0AyynpCgEJUmR9a-ZOpuha2ySncF2dlxkfkURsHcgp4UOuw2WDLcEyDXkGJVwPIdT5t4qbPXcA7B-U_Sq4O2pKkdfZNEGByv2gi7ynNm1lIAAC5rnhJtteW4kLI3J1PUdaaQWA/s400/12.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448515719911916882" /></a><br /> Different hues of springmonicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01987243989793455112noreply@blogger.com4
