Memories down the lane..!!

The year has almost gone, But made us strong. The path was long, But we walked with a song. There were fears 'n' tears, But we also had reasons for cheers. Wishing you happy memories of this year and have a great beginning of the next Year!

Goodman di laaltain...!

Mentos Khao..Dimaag ki batti Jalao..!

I swear I need a bag full of Mentos Chewy. People do not want to speak about their weaknesses but off late I’ve realized or rather developed this stupid weakness of mine n that is: mere dimag kee batti kuch fluctuate ho kar jalti hai..!


Thanks to some of my handsome and beautiful friends: their golden words n opinions has finally got me on track warna hum to kabhi ke mar gae hote :D

It is important to keep a balance between your professional, personal and social radar. I was playing and laying more stress on my professional radar that has no doubt helped in carving a career path for me but because of this some interesting meets, chit chats, hangouts and chance of getting to know people in a better way has vanished.

No worries, as I say therez always a next time and now I am in full mood to please my Maa and my dearo Auntejeez by following their words of wisdom i.e. “Focus on my social Radar and catch the signals soon” :D

Sooo..applications are invited for the vacant post (*)..!!

Think , Feel and Act...!

Yes, I really mean what I say. It is very important for everyone to be true to themselves.

Relationships can never be defined or categorized in a defined framework. True, it’s necessary to name some relationships but till the time you are not hundred percent sure of classifying naming conventions to any relationship...do not get into it.

It happens, sometimes we take things for granted and feel that “Yes, this is THE ONE for me" but its’ not necessary that what we interpret is the actual picture. What comes out are the remains of our imagination.

It is my sincere request to all my loved ones to:

Think: While defining relationships.

Feel: For true feelings for that person. And then,

Act: With moving forward into a relationship.

Sometimes a real good friend is interpreted as a life partner but difference of opinion and disagreement in the way of looking at things can burn a beautiful relationship of friendship into Ashes.

Please people…TALK before you ACT based on your imagination.

~~~~~~God Bless Us All~~~~~~

It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away...!

Song from "Boyzone" : Loved the lyrics..

Smile an ever lasting smile
a smile can bring you near to me
don't ever let me find you gone
'cause that would bring a tear to me
this world has lost its glory
let's start a brand new story
now my love
you think that I don't even mean
a single word I say

it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away

talk in ever lasting words
and dedicate them all to me
and I will give you all my life
i'm here if you should call to me
you think that I don't even mean
a single word I say

it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away

it's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away......!!

The Flying Machine…!

My first flight from Delhi to Bangalore...Ma was happy and tensed at the same time..WHY…coz she very well knows her daughter …without khurafaat her day never ends…

The moment I entered inside the flight …a graceful smile was thrown by the flight stewart….with this I was sure that my journey is going to be interesting…but sooo interesting I never expected it…..!!

Bheed kaafi kam thee… I was getting bored as my laptop battery was gone and I kept on thinking (haan main sochti bhee hu) what to do next…I turned back…and here comes the Captain/pilot of our flight. Without wasting another second..I took a wild chance of asking him the possibility of getting inside the cockpit…. on this, he smiled and went away..

Here come the feelings: whattttttttttt…??? Have u gone crazy….want to enter the cockpit of Boeing aircraft…..seriously Isha u’ve gone crazy…..I know such things happen …but I cant help..So I took a chance…. ….I was like..hell..What have I asked…This is weirdddddddd…..!!!

But, my dilemma finished in less than ten minutes as the same smiling dude alias flight Stewart came in and escorted me towards the cockpit…

View from the Cockpit:

What do I say….i had an wonderful experience ….as I saw clouds floating by….i saw evening star right in front of me…I saw several colors in the sky which kept on changing on and off..I saw mammoth base of clouds..it looked as if they were inviting me to come and perform ball dance on the sets …but I was alone…so :(

Pilot was smart, active, good spokesman….interacted well with me…and gave me the idea about the functions and features of the tools and parts that are used to operate the plane...he even invited me to witness the landing from cockpit….!!!

The idea of passing GOOD time..was fulfilled with the inputs from captain and crew of the craft which finally ended on beautiful Bangalore airport…!!

In my ending lines…I would like to ask the Jet Airways management….where are the security parameters of aviation industry guys…..??? How can you let anybody inside the cockpit…..!!:D

Until we meet again….

Goodbyes make you think, invariably.

They make you retrospect….as to what you've had and introspect….what you've taken for granted and just let go.

The day when you left your home for the first time…your first leap to independence….In those numb moments you just couldn’t gather yourself enough, to let your family know how much you loved them.

The moment when you bid farewell, to one of your friends, for good…the train started moving, you stood near the wagon door….smiling and waving goodbye. Until struggling through tears, you lost the sight thinning in to the fog. You never said how much you would miss the times spent together.

Or meeting a stranger….someone you barely knew and ever seen before. An event that slipped passed your moral sensors and which you considered flat-out foolishness….but when you said adios and realized that you are not going to see that someone for a long time or, worst yet, ever again, it created a void.

We may never know…what to say when the inevitable goodbye arrives…but saying the fair share of….I love you’s , Thank you’s and Sorry’s may help in reducing the remorse .

It is better to have spoken them, rather now, than never at all. For just like gravity, everybody knows that love, gratitude and apologies exist….but if it’s silent it isn't much use to anyone.

This time, ending with a quote “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success and parting paths are acceptable”….

FOOD for THOUGHT

Eat at your own risk...first n last warning to all...phir mat kenha kee bataya nahi thaa..!!

Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai....one fine weekend...me preparing food (all main course meals) and make my Ma delighted with my presence in Kitchen... This week, this khayal transformed into reality…I actually prepared food and yesss folks liked it...(why because they didn’t had any other option to choose from):-))

The expression…"necessity is the mother of invention" could never have been truer in my case as I wanted to attend ROCK ON concert and for that I had to be good to my family, so like a sweet daughter..I started off with my voyage in kitchen…

I progressed well by asking Ma about things like...'daal kahan rakhi hai’...'arree masale nahi mil rahe’....'Ma pani kitna dalna hai'etc etc....and getting compliments from her like...."Sharam kar kuch ...paraye ghar jana hai...kuch te aan chaida”.. ..

By the way, on the brighter side, I think...I cook pretty well….but how much percentage of my thoughts match with others, that’s a mystery…!!.So, under running commentary and guidance of the majesty, I successfully finished preparing food and geared up for expert comments.The art of cooking food is something that you can only truly acquire with time and practice…as well as after observing others cook and taking mental notes…which is often the best way to learn any practical skill quickly and efficiently. Cooking food is a practice…that can only be done if you absolutely enjoy doing it…there are times when you need to be able to improvise and create something, which only someone who is truly passionate about food can do.


Off course many of us are forced into cooking food and usually such people don’t make delicious dishes that you remember them by,…still there’s always a room for improvement…(being optimistic is the key to success…):-))


So my dear friends…this was all about fulfilling those food fantasies and avoiding those expensive disappointments.

Give it a thought and act accordingly…!!

Thank you Auntyjeez...

Well yess….many thanks and regards to my dearo “aunty jees” who are providing their endless opinions and comments about me…my relationship status…and all other things…I think Ma has been hanging around too much with aunties of the colony, throwing in words of wisdom on ‘Shaadi’ to my mom.

On a serious note, it’s not that I’m a commitmentphobic to an extent where the idea of a future wedlock sounds highly peculiar but the point is that..reality dawns and lust fades..Sooner or later. And to think of a co-existence with someone who can’t stand the REAL me and vice versa, is a nightmare!!

Picture the excerpts:

1. A girl’s marital value is at peak in her 20’s.(Confusion..confusion..are we referring to girls or shares in the stock market?)

2 My Dad’s-Uncle’s-Cousin brother’s-Wife’s-Sister’s-Eldest daughter suggest (Hun..rishta te samjha dyo)

3. (And beat this) Kudi nu bol..focus her ‘social radar’ and catch the signals soon (Keda signal..aunty jiiii ?)

While Papa maintains a silence, Ma invariably gets wild, not because she’s genuinely worried about it but because a hoard of other anonymous well wishers are!!

Marrying is not for the better or for the worse but for the good. It’s not in I, Me and Myself, but in We and Us. The million dollar question is not how compatible you are, but how do you get over with your share of incompatibilities.

Ma, the day I find someone who accepts me for what I’m and I feel proud of what he is, that one special person whom I can annoy for the rest of my life, and who says “I love to laugh with you”, someone whom I can love more than myself and as much as my family, I will marry him, simple as that.

Till that time…please start making perfect use of your time…'thoda Bhajan Keertan mein’….mainu baksh deo..!!

Mere Yaar Kee Shaadi hai.....!!

God has made pairs up there in the sky...bus unkaa milna hum par chodh dia hai...!!

Ever witnessed a wedding...away from home...surrounded by friends and colleagues ...nahi naa...read on then...!!

Recently a friend of mine got married ...kaafi soch vichar ke baad ye decision lia gaya tha….Obviously anybody would think a million times yaar...!!

15th August ka aitehaasik din....was chosen as the date of his wedding....what an irony...na i'll not comment on this more nahi to maar padegee..!!

We reached at the Grooms’ place early morning, all were present except the GROOM...which was quite expected....and he knows why... :-))

Then..some more friends came in...some more talks..chitchats..and finally GROOM appeared...with a smile on his face...the LAST smile....oops....before marriage...!!He got ready on time and we left for destination MANDIR.

Then came the bride....She looked wonderful....all emotions and expressions...the joy of getting into an everlasting relationship with the one she loves was purely visible on her face...!! I would like to make a special mention here....She did all her shopping in one day..that too from Chandani Chowk...Hats off..!!

Ceremony Begins:
There was a two in one Pandit jee....kaise...
One, he was the one who got the couple registered as husband and wife on papers and handed over marriage certificates to the duo.
Two, he enchanted all mantras and shlokes in Arya Samaj Mandir and made this marriage ceremony a success.

Although there were four wedding vows as it was an aryasamaj wedding...I’ll mention all seven vows:

The first step is taken to earn and provide a living for their household or family, and avoiding those things that might harm them.
The second step is taken to build their physical, mental and spiritual powers and to lead a healthy lifestyle.
The third step is taken to earn and increase their wealth by righteous and proper means.
The fourth step is taken to acquire knowledge, happiness and harmony by mutual love, respect, understanding and faith.
The fifth step is taken to have children for whom they will be responsible and blessed with healthy, righteous and brave children.
The sixth step is taken for self-control and longevity.
The seventh step is taken to be true to each other, loyal and remain life-long companions by this wedlock.

Couple looked fantabulous together. Wishes and blessings to the newly wed came from all people present there... plenty of pictures were taken...My favorite pic was: when people were giving sweets to the groom...yaad hai na... :-))

Party:

Bade log...he has planned for a lunch in five Star Hotel...which was good and we all enjoyed there...I was continuously smiling and laughing because of some reasons....Kya karu...aadat se majboor hu..!!I left for home (from the so called "Grih Pravesh" for my family) congratulating them and taking all memories with me....!!

Aftermaths:
Status stands awaited…:-))

Bride and the Groom: A special dedication to you by this post on my blog..(Your Dushmans' Blog). Marriage is a funny and complex journey..so enjoy this journey with the warmth of your relationship and never let any awful thing overtake your life.

~~~~Wish you a very happy married life-God bless~~~~

Vasudevasya Kutumbhakam

Meaning of the title : Deity’s’ family . “Whole world is one family”

No..Not a serious note this time. I used this title to pay my gratitude towards technology, connectivity and to those intelligent brains because of which we are connected to the whole world.

Recently I met my school mates. It was a reunion held after eight years and yes I met one of my friend after 12 lonnngggggg years….she came from US of A.I was not expecting some faces but meeting them was a sugar coated surprise for me.

Kahawat hai…”Sometimes in life we think we don’t need anyone..but sometimes we don’t’ have anyone when we need..so do not let your buddies ever go..” ya ya senti marne ke lie likha hai…!!

Oh..getting back to the topic….THANKS to ORKUT that we all met again through DAV community and stayed connected from last 3 years…. we didn’t felt that we are meeting after such a long time. At least there was absence of those sounds…..aaaaa….ooooooooooo…….yeeeeeeeeeeee…..my goooooooooddddddddddd…..because we were talking /chatting with each other and were familiar to all faces. FOR GOOD..!!

Moving forward….all updates, thoughts were shared amongst each other probably we all wanted to clasp news about all our classmates. All of them including us have been promoted in the journey of life (some professionally and some personally). I would like to name few designations here:

Husband and Wife
Father and Mother…phewww..!!

I know I am from the bunch of "Samajhdaar friends” who has till now managed to stay away from this illusionary beautiful world of marriage…this is not offensive…just a personal thought :-))

Unexpected news about some mates was also heard.

All in all a good show that came to an end with a dinner at Moti Mahal in GK I.We all left with a promise to meet again with more people and more updates next time.

~~God bless them all~~
