Make a wish

Make A Wish….

Lighting candles before god, looking at the sky for hours waiting for that one star to fall for you, tying those religious threads on sacred walls, blowing candles fixed on your birthday cake, throwing coins in those wish wells and what not… We all have wishes and our unique way of making a wish and believe that someone is listening it all….

But what if you just utter something out of your mouth and the next second you have it right before your eyes… Sounds great… Just think doesn’t it actually happens sometimes…. And what happens then… First reaction – Surprised, Second reaction – Delighted and the Third reaction – REGRET… Yup, you got that right…

Yesterday our building had organized this buffet dinner for all the residents of the building but owing to my laziness I was in no mood to change my dirty Tee n messed up lower and get presentable if nothing more (God, plz help me act a bit girly, if nothing more)… So I decided to stay back n cook my self a Paratha after a while, though I was dying to enjoy the feast… While all my roomies were down enjoying the dinner, there I was, shuffling the useless TV channels and then I just muttered those words out of my mouth “Wish the Plate filled with all that great stuff could come right before me without moving my ass”… The next moment the door bell rang and what do I see….

One of my roomy had come back from the feast and managed to escape a plate for me from their… Aah…. You should have seen that smile on my face (Good food has anyways always been a turn on for me…) Believe me I was more then surprised to see it.. I mean I just muttered it not even a minute back and here I have a nicely served plate filled with whatever you can think of right before me… My next reaction was absolute delight…. I wanted to do nothing but enjoy the meal and suddenly the moment I sat down to relish it, a thought crossed my mind “Wish I had Wished for IT”… I mean, What if I had Wished for Something else… Something like A new job (as being unemployed sucks) or even better my dream business or the next thought was what if I had asked for my dream house or even better what if I had wished to have Armaan in my life (Silly that I’m, why am I madly in love with a TV serial character)… And with all these thoughts going on in my mind I could feel the regret spreading over my face that there was so much I could have asked for in that moment as if that was a golden chance gifted to me and I missed on it Big Time….

But my weirdo mind didn’t stop just here and it continued popping up questions… Can’t it be a mere co-incidence… Quite a possibility but my heart refused to believe… My heart almost screamed that it was a “Make – A –Wish – Moment” exclusively for me (Kiddish to the core but kya karien, Dil toh Bachha Hai Ji)… And then came another question what if I would have wished for anything else that I mentioned above.. The so called Bigger or a Better wish… There came an answer again from my stupid heart, that it would not have been the same… And I realize how true that was…

If I would have wished for anything else it would have surely not come before me right away but would have taken some time… I mean be it a Job or Business or that dream house, if I would have wished for any of them it would have come to me only after sometime and not right away and then may be it would not have felt so magical as I just felt..

So finally I was totally satisfied with all my answers, believing that for the moment this was the best thing I could have asked for, as nothing comes before Delicious Food… And there I was lying on my couch in my dirty clothes relishing every bite with my cheeks all stuffed, enjoying the moment like a Kid, Thanking my Magic Man for making my wish come True…..

P.S. – It’s extremely important to find happiness in whatever you have coz nothing else makes life beautiful….

It's Ain't Difficult

It’s Ain’t That Difficult…

I have been really wanting to write this post since long but guess what I’m unable to decide how to start…

Well recently not just one but two completely different guys in different situations told me the same thing while I was talking to them about completely different topics… And what did they say… “Being a Girl is Anyways Difficult, Isn’t it”… And my answer to them was obviously no….

I just don’t understand why women are always thought of as Bechari – Dukhiyari types… Well hello guys…. Times have changed… We are confident and independent today just as much as any of those men….

In fact I have always felt that being a girl is better then being a guy… Against the conventional thought, I personally feel that being a girl brings with it a great sense of independence and freedom… Wondering how… Don’t worry, I’ll make it simple for you… Look at the guys around…. They look so cool, free and chilled out, Right…. But then don’t just go by the looks, looks can be deceiving… Especially when it comes to guys… Get into the depth of it and you would find that life is real difficult for them… They have this responsibility or rather an obligation to make their career and prove a point which in turn is just a matter of choice for us girls… If we want we can choose to work and if not then we have all the freedom to make our men work hard for us and we can go making merry out of their hard earned money (What a brat I’m…. look at that smile on your face with so much of consensus… hehe..)

I have always enjoyed every bit of feminism and really considered myself luckier then any guy… My parents have loved me more than Piyush despite him being their younger kid… I have always been pampered to the core (Thanks a tonne to my mom n dad for that) …. I have always studied in a co – ed sys and have actually performed better then a lot of guys… I see myself more confident than any men, in fact I have seen that when it comes to talking sense then there are women who can actually leave aside all those jerks trying to dominate…

And now as far as your question goes… Is being a girl difficult… Then my answer for this one is a big NOOOOO… Being a girl is in no way difficult… Rather for me being a girl is being independent, being free, being beautiful, being confident, being caring to the core, being symbolic to love, being giving selflessly like no other specie on this earth, being naughty, being bubbly, being a symbol of prosperity, being powerful, being a creator, being someone’s support system… In short being a girl is Simply Fun….

I’m sure I’ll have some guys felling jealous after reading this one… That’s how it is… N anyways making someone jealous is so much fun… I love to see that look on anyone’s face…

P.S. – on a serious note, it’s not about being a girl or a guy but it’s all about being You and celebrating yourself...

The Other End

The Other End…

Being jobless makes you a philosopher… These days I keep coming up with new philosophies and I guess if I don’t find a job soon enough then I would end up writing a book for my self… :p Anyways here is one of my newly developed philosophy…

Good – Bad, Right – Wrong, Beautiful – Ugly, Intelligent – Stupid, Rich – Poor, Outgoing – Shy, Courageous – Coward, Success – Failure, Strong – Weak, High – Low, Modern – Traditional and what not..

We all have the tendency to categorize life into one of the two extremes… Either something is good or if it’s not good then its bad… Don’t we all do it very frequently… And being a scorpion I do it all the more coz we are scorpions are extremists by birth…

But recently I felt as if there isn’t the other end of an extreme… It’s just that a few people are good and the others are not so good but no one is bad as every one has something or the other good in him… If something is not right according to you does not means that its wrong, may be what you consider wrong is perfect from somebody’s else’s perception… If someone is not strong enough to fight frequently does not means he’s weak... (And I personally feel that no one on this earth is weak… Bas kuch logon ko ungli karne ki zarurat hoti, isliye never underestimate anyone)… If someone is not Einstein does not means that he’s dumb.. Its just that a few people are more intelligent then others but no one is an absolute dumb….

So you see there isn’t any other end to the Extreme…. Hey wait a minute… If you think that having realized this, I would stop being an extremist then sorry to disappoint you but I’m a hard core scorpion and can not do much about it… After all I have developed this philosophy just recently but I have been scorpion by birth…..

What Are You Waiting For

What Are You Waiting For… Christmas???

There are some things that only you can do and no one else can, there are some people who love only you and no one else, there are some pictures which would have been so incomplete without you... There is so much about you….

Doesn’t this all makes you very special… It does… We all are special in some unique way and don’t you think special people deserve special treatment… We all take care of our loved ones... Our friends, family, colleagues and what not but don’t you think in all this you are missing on someone very important and That’s YOU…

Well last month I lost my job and it came out as a big shock to me coz I had never thought that within a months time I would be out of my first job all by myself in Mumbai… For the first few days I cried like anything but soon enough I realized that crying over the spilt milk doesn’t really makes sense…. And so I recollected my self and begun with a job hunt and the search is still on but I decided that in this time I’m gonna treat myself really well.. And so despite of losing on a job there I was giving my self a special treatment and how did I do that.. Simple, I pampered my self like anything… Read a lot of books, went to the CCD’s all alone frequently for a chocolate fantasy treat, cooked my self the finest of dishes that I love even if I had to cook it only for myself, played with the kids in the near by vicinity, enjoyed the rains to its core, brought my self ice creams, went out for long walks, gifted myself flowers and did every thing that perhaps you could think of doing to make someone happy…

And you know what these days should have been one of the worst phase of my life but by doing all this I have been able to convert it into a beautiful memory…

We all do a lot of things for everyone else around then why not do it for yourself… I know this sounds selfish but I think the most important person on this earth is You coz everything else just revolves around You and if that’s the case then why not celebrate being You… Why do we wait for someone else to do something that would make us feel special.. Why do we ever wait for Christmas…

Today just spare sometime for the special You and give yourself a lovely treat…

You Won’t Understand….

There are some things that are so peculiar about us, girls… Our habit to bargain for that one extra rupee… The immense pleasure that we seek in back biting… The ability to stand before our wardrobe for more than an hour and then ultimately pick up that same dress which we had chosen in the very first minute…Those long hours of self admiration standing before the mirror… That desire to look natural after putting Kilos of make up…. God Females are actually strange, impossible and most importantly extremely complicated….

One such peculiar thing about each girl is the habit of saying “You won’t UnderStaNd”… Those of you guys who have had a girlfriend in the past or are already having one are really gonna love this one…

Just talk to this girl about anything and she would always be ready to fight on it, calling it a discussion and when you would say why are we fighting over such a silly thing the answer is where are we fighting, we are simply discussing it but You don’t Understand… And mind you she is discussing on the top of her voice with her face all red, but still remember it’s not a fight but a discussion…

They would come to you asking how am I looking…. Now this is a very dangerous question and even I can’t help you on this one (Coz despite being a girl I hardly care about my looks)… If you say you are looking good (though the pigeon’s nest outside your window looks better then her new hairstyle), then she would ask just good??? Now you say, I mean you are looking like a princess sweetheart and within your mind you have already clapped for your self and rewarded yourself 10 on 10 but suddenly here voice brings you out of your imaginative award ceremony and to your surprise she’s still not pleased rather it’s going in some other direction… She says stop lying… I know I’m not looking all that good… You don’t even look at me properly… You never give a genuine opinion… You think I can’t take criticisms, which is so not true… But leave it, You won’t Understand…

And now if you are wondering that honesty is the best policy then trust me it’s a bad idea…. Just try it and I’ll tell you what dialogues would follow… Continuing the same question, How am I looking… If you would have said you are not looking all that good today then take it from me those are the last words of your life coz by now her eyes have already turned red and you can see the blood running through her face… She would call you insensible and curse you and she would say it took me 3 and a half hours to get ready for our date and you could not even appreciate that effort… If nothing you could have lied for my sake (and remember earlier she was all set to take all the criticism and wanted you to be honest)… But leave it, You won’t Understand…

And now for those of you guys who are already married, god bless your souls…. One thing that you can not afford to forget is praising her about whatever she has cooked… No matter even if it is half boiled, lacks salt and even tommy outside the house leaves it uneaten but you have to show as if you are enjoying every bite and food never tasted better than this…. And yes dare you compare her with the way your mom used to cook… Believe me man you have already put your life on stake… And there begins our dear discussion where only she talks… One very common thing that you get to hear is “All you can think of is your mom… I left my mom for you and you don’t even think about… forget it… You won’t Understand”

Be it about her looks or the way she cooks… And no matter how you answer it… Ultimately she can convert the simplest of the conversation into a so called “Discussion” and trust me no matter what that discussion is about but it would always end up with these golden words “You won’t Understand”… And they would never even attempt to explain you but still would expect you to understand everything…

Such is the God’s finest creation… Confused, Complicated and always ready to discuss….

I have to admit this that despite being a girl I have always been fascinated by the Guys and have always believed that they are really cool, uncomplicated and way better than us (at least in some aspects) and as far as understanding girls is concerned, trust me guys its actually impossible… Even after being a girl I still don’t understand what is it with gilrzzz, so forget that you would ever be able to understand… Just let it be that ways and take it as all gals suffer from the “You won’t Understand” Syndrome….

Dedicated to all the troubled souls……..

You Know It Then

You Know iT Then….!

Life poses so many questions before us and then leaves it to us that how we go about finding answer to them…. The answers to some are very simple but there are some questions that can give you sleepless nights for days and months….

One such question that we all come across in our life is “Is this Love???”…. Isn’t it… We all go through that phase when everything is the same but still seems to be so different… The world around us begins to seem more than beautiful… Suddenly the fragrance of roses drives you crazy… You begin to find even red as ‘your colour’… You begin to take a closer look at the moon and the stars believing that someone somewhere must be looking at them and feeling the same… You can feel those winds blowing… Your CD rack is now filled with all the romantic numbers and listening to them drifts you to another world… It’s the heart shape pillows and candies that catch your attention now and you begin to find those stupid gift shops quite fascinating… Couples around you bring a smile on your face and remind you of someone…..

And while you are going through all this, one fine day you end up asking your self is this love??? Or may be it’s just a feeling and then begin those sleepless nights and every other second you find your self thinking about nothing but this….

So how do we get an answer to this… Well as I have always believed in my philosophy of “keep it simple” so is the answer to this question….

Whenever you want to know whether you love him (her) or not, just close your eyes for a moment and ask yourself what is it in this person that you don’t like…. What are those things which are not so good about him… Just try finding some faults in him…

Done with this…. Now open your eyes and tell your self what the answer is…. If your answer is NoThiNg then you know it that you are actually in love…

Wondering how am I so sure of it…. Well it’s a known fact that nobody is perfect… We all have some good qualities and some not so good… But here is someone who seems perfect to you & you don’t find any faults in him and what the world has to say about him is something you hardly care about…. If this isn’t love then what else could it be….!!!!

Lucky Me….

The city of dreams, the financial capital of India, bollywood n what not… Mumbai has been addressed with so many names times n now…. It goes without saying that the city is actually awesome... And as far as I’m concerned, the city has always been good to me… The last time when I was here for 2 months the people in my organisation were a great support and they actually made the time fly…. And trust me the day when I was leaving I had tears in my eyes and a prayer in my heart that I get to come back again and thankfully God addressed my prayer beautifully and here I’m working in Mumbai with a good MNC n a set of some wonderful people…

Well my office is situated in Hiranandani… Just look around your self and all that you would be able to see is lots and lots of sky scrapers, all of them beautifully made…. That area does not even seem to be a part of India, it is made similar to the streets of London (and you know what since my childhood I have always wanted to visit London for once and I have even promised myself that my 1^st foreign trip would be to London only) and that’s the best part about it… As far as my work goes, I’m still left with a training of another 3 weeks and then I would be all set to have my own cubical…

Hey by the way you know what my office is situated on a hill side and the view outside my window is more then awesome and now comes the cherry on the cake… You won’t believe this one but me n nicky have even managed to find a flat in Hiranandani itself (its quite close to the office) and it’s a very beautiful flat and the entire building is newly constructed and even our flat is situated on a hill, between the rocks and when it rains you can actually see the waterfalls flaunting their beauty… It’s an amazing view…. I’m sure you must be really jealous…. It’s ok… I can understand…J

I simply luv this city like anything n I genuinely wish to spend my entire life in this city… Let’s see what life has in store for me…. I have kept my fingers crossed….
