To new starts!

Just crossing that time of the year again where you feel just a little bit more responsible and older :) Its the time that makes you look back at no matter how many years we've lived. Think through the good times and the bad :) think of all the people who've been by you through thick and thin and the people you've been around as well... It is a wonderful feeling. Growing up and living life and knowing it !!!

The one thing that I think we start seeing at different stages in our life, is how we are changing and how that is affecting the situation and the people around us. How the new phases in life make us change and start thinking in a new direction... we see things under a different light all of a sudden. We change, our wants changes, our needs change, our circumstances change... and this keeps happening throughout our lives. First its all about us, then its about our jobs and careers, then its about us setelling down, then its about having children, then its about the children and this journey goes on and on... Anyway, to cut a long story short. I'm loving the way life is turning out. A sudden realization of my shift in phase is on. Its a whole new phase of life and a whole new chapter. I love all the people in my life so far... Good and bad... I thank them for what they've given to me or taught me and here's to soo many more coming along :)

A special mention in my heart and prayers goes to a few people in my life (old and new) who showed me change and taught me so much. Things to do in life, things to avoid and just how to never forget to be me :) !!!!! Gaurav, Piyal, Vishaal, Himanshu, Shrey, Githanjali, Boogie, and Abhinav. There are so many things I've taken and learnt and understood all because of my interaction with these people! :) I'm grateful to have them all in my life!

Too much for one day, its time to go to work :) Here's to the people who made a difference and here's to the next new chapter in my life.

My favorite things song! MY WAY :D

Bright early mornings and breakfast with friends...
Short gossip sessions and long laughing trends...
Good times spent, laughing and singing and things...
These are a few of my favourite things!!!! :D

Big picture collages and broad black frames...
My doggy ruffles and no aches and pains...
Eating rasgullas and catching up with friends...
Are the things that keep me sane and in sense! :D

As you can see I'm in a mood to be silly...
After a long day at work, now I'm in bed...
This is the time I take it all outta my brain...
The thoughts to be able to sleep better again!!!! :D

PS: Please sing this in tune to "my favourite things" from the movie the sound of music... hehe this is my in my sily element! :)

It's been a while!

Welcome to 2009! :)
I've been rather quiet lately and I think this is one of the things I need to get back to... slowly but surely... I know its going to be harder than before, but I'm sure I'll manage it somehow...

2009 has been just perfect so far (small things that bother one always stay there... reality check) but other than that I've been having a great time. I've managed to keep myself busy through work and friends... Keeps my mind away from being idle and thinking about things that I don't need to be thinking about. The other thing I have noticed is that people can't seem to see you happy. There must be something going on for one person to be happy! Why so?? :) ANyhow... It's okay, as long as I don't let things bother me, to each his own!

With all the joy and happiness around I'm doing well for 2009 I think. Time flies, January has already come to an end... Some things are just rushing :) Some things seem to be taking their time! :) There are times that bring you at crossroads (mostly for me, its the case when it comes to men! and my decisions about them!lol...), there are times you're careless but most of all I've realised that's its important to be happy at all times. No matter what, no matter when! Let the world go to hell... Till the time you're happy, everything around you is okay. (even if it isn't the way you want it to be!) Let me take the example of men! (my fav topic lately.. hahahaha) When you're bloody open and honest and interested, no one seems to have the balls enough to do anything about it (excuse the balls!). For men its all about it being a game. I used to let all these things/games bother me till I realised it all doens't matter! Be happy about life, be my happy normal self and NEVER let anything bog me down. I deserve better than being upset about others for heaven's ! The issue is the minute someone starts doing that the others seem to find a hole in their lives.. hahahaha LOL! All of a sudden they wake up! God help me...

Anyway, cutting a long story short... This is the year to be happy for me. I'm not going to let anything bog me down. Whether its people, the things they say, do or whatever. Going with the flow is the best thing to do, no expectations and being open to everything new! :)

Here's to a great 2-0-0-9!! Love and good wishes to all! :)

Blue Lou

BlUe LoU ... It's You...

You came into my life how and when I didn't know. You stayed and made me feel so good. Life was comfortable, stable, secure and peaceful and you brought this to me by just being there and being you. Your smile what just what I needed, your hand on my shoulder made me feel I could do what I wanted and know you're there right behind me. Your hug made me sure that the world was a great place and I knew I was happy and safe.
You left and the world shook from under my feet. You took with you the light and joy and comfort and security and peace. It was time to wake up and smell the coffee and you brought the coffee to me!

BlUe LoU... The REAL you..

You still love me like I love you,
You're still the one I sleep hugging,
You make me feel like its all how it should be,
You're still the same as you were the first day I met you,
You're still the only one who has the pleasure of being in my company every night! ;)

I miss you BLue LoU....

If I...

If my eyes don't open tomorrow...
... Will you stop fighting?
... Will be calm?
... Will you stop bothering about the insignificant things???

If my eyes don't open tomorrow...
... Will you miss me?
... Will you wonder, "what if?"
... Will you wish you'd make it different?

If my eyes don't open tomorrow...
... Will you care more than just that moment?
... Will you think it was real?
... Will you wish our dreams came true?

If my eyes don't open tomorrow...
... Will you remember you read this?
... Will it make your hair stand?
... Will you think, "Shit, did she know this was coming?"
... Will you wish you told me you loved me?
... Will you wish I would have never gone?
... Will you wish you didn't miss me so?

Why wait till my eyes don't open...
Don't call me crazy for being expressive...
I just like to make sure the world knows...!
Life is too short for worries and carrying baggage.
Its too short for letting go...
Think... of what all is around you...
See where you want to be...
Do what you want to do... and pray to god to give you all the strength to endure all you have to in life..!

... More

I look back at times...
I look at time today....
All I can say,
is that I want more.

My friends,
The ones I love,
The ones I miss...
And now I miss more.

I see you,
Think of you,
Love you,
Miss you even more.

We're all in each others lives for a reason,
We need not know why,
I'm ignorant to that question,
As, you in my life I want more...

I'm on one of those moods as you can see today. You are all people who come to mind when I wrote this on my blog today, so I thought I must tag you so you know... :)
You're being thought of by someone far away!! :) Specials smiles and moments... that once made my day.
Lots of love to you all and missings ofcourse!

Kasauli love! :)

Something I wrote in June 2008... came across it and realised it never got published! :) I havent been to Kasauli since then... but it is one of my happy places for me! :)

its raining outside... :D
the weather is soo nice... :D
i love waking up to this... :D
i'm soo happy, so at peace... :D
im spreading the joy... :D
cause im in a world of bliss... :D
can't seem to wipe off this smile... :D
which is slightly hard to come by... :D
i feel alive... i feel sane... i feel peaceful... i feel ... everything... :D
there is nothing that can bring me down... :D
there is nothing that can take this away from me... :D
it makes me look at things soo differently... :D
it makes me a better person... :D the person i want to be.. :D
who would have though all this could come from a place... ??
a place called Kasauli... :D

if you've been here... you know exactly what i'm saying... the fresh air, the lovely weather, rain or not. i dont know if its being so much higher than sea level or more oxygen in the air.. lol... it just works wonders for everyone... the long walks, the lots of yum food... the feeling of being away from the hustle bustle... its just the most amazing feeling in the world. the phone doesnt work properly here ... *so whatchya gonna do??*
i have to admit, i love that feeling of dissconnecting every once in a while. I am going to make it a point to be back here soon enough/often enough while i'm in the country anyway! :)

ThE nEw AiRtEl AdS!

Call me a sucker for mush....
The new Airtel ads just get to me in less than a second! Vidya Balan and Madhavan. What a phenomenal pair. And them being romantic over that! Makes everyone want their other half to be exactly like that! Over and above that, the crush I had on Madhavan as a girl doesn't help! The man smiles and I'm floored! Then, there he goes being the most romantic, head over heels in love man. Gosh I wish I had that! :)
Don't we all! Its funny how I am getting sick and tired of this we have a guy, we don't! Its what I want... or oohh ohh nope it ain't! I think its just better to be living in the world of fantasy. Its much easier and workable!
Anyway, back to the reason for writing. The cuteness of the ads, the hubby not leaving cause he's going to miss the wife. The hubby calling soo many times cause he misses her and calling to say good night! Anyone else in those ads would not have done justice to it the way these two do...
Not really relevant but I do love these ads. And they are soo worth the mention :)

Something for Arash....

This is a photo clicked by a friend of mine called Arash. The quote under the photo read, "Moon - Clouds - Aww, all I need is a poem..."
So I volunteered to write him one. Little did I know I would have to work with some guidelines!
Arash asked me to come up with a poem using the following words.. MEHDI BABA, MOON, CLOUDS, NIGHT, THE WIFE & SUBLIME. This is what I came up with in 15 minutes!! LOL I find it a bit a of a laugh myself!

Its such a bright night,
Even though there isn't a star in sight,
As the coulds keep them hidden,
Along with the moon that's so smitten with the sky's sublime beauty!
Enjoying this scenic view,
Are Mehdi Baba and the wife,
Sitting hand in hand,
Thinking of how much more they can stand,
Of this totally cheesy yet gorgeous sight,
And with that thought they call it a night!

Two becoming one....

One needs to be happy no matter what time in their life.
Phases keep changing and one must accept those changes and happily move on living their life.
Here are a few words I wish to express!

When two decide to become one,
It takes time,
It takes love,
It takes trust,
It takes commitment,
It takes effort,
It takes understanding,
It takes communication,
It takes work.
AS they say you clap with two hands not one. That phase of becoming one and understanding one has to be both sided. The things I've mentioned above need to all be both sided. I repeat, As they say, you clap with two hands not one.
As time goes by one needs to realise its not just 'ME'. Its 'US'. Once this realization is made and acknowledged its the best thing in the world. One knows that they are no longer alone. That's the best feeling in the world if you ask me. Someone to lean on, someone to be with, someone to live life with, the good and the bad.

Have you found your someone to lean on? Or you still trying to make sure? Either way, make sure you give it your best shot. Roll up your sleeves, kick away the slack. Make the effort to make that other person feel just that little bit special. IT goes a LONG way. If nothing else do it for everyone every now and then. Make them happy. All you get in return is good thoughts, wishes and blessings! :)
Here's wishing all of you out there good luck in finding your other half to become one.
