India - The Topic is Over !!

How are politicians different from common man? They frame rules, expect people to follow saying, only then, they can re-define the country's future.

But, does the same rule come with any *Terms & Conditions* saying ‘Not applicable to politicians who rule people’?? Where is the nation marching towards?

From the day I started counting on my fingers, I kept hearing ‘India’ – developing country?? I feel ashamed to accept this fact anymore.

There happens a disaster killing people and then, they arrive expressing grief and announcing ex-Gratia. Everybody talks about it, sobs for a day or two, media expels its words at the leaders and their inefficiencies and then, everybody forgets.

Are those ex-Gratia funds not people’s money? Why don’t the so called leaders spend those funds creating a proper system before in hand and not wait until a tragedy happens for them to react?

We don’t want your condolences. Can you bring back the lost lives? Can you re-build a lost family ?

They expect common man to follow rules laid by them but, what are the leaders doing?

OK! I understand. They’re busy filling their pockets, breaking rules and seeking backdoor approvals for new business start-up’s, making serious plans about how to get even rich stabbing a common man’s resource, renege to keep up their promises. 

Are the above stated, any sort of qualification to rule people in the largest democratic country like India?

A country with fastest growing economy, a country with huge human resource but, failing badly since years in establishing an administrative system. How can an administrative system be formed, if we sit at home and watch over hyped news that media channels telecast all through the day, week, months & years? 

Our constitution say’s every individual has the ‘Right to Speech’. Cannot we question the so called ‘Rulers’? Are we dumb souls to sit and watch the ‘Puppet’ show? 

Change doesn’t happen overnight just when a politician fulfills his election promise or when administrative rules are passed. How many of us really care to abide by them loyally ? If we cannot follow them, if we cannot question our rights, system & leaders then, we should not expect system to change.

Politicians don’t have a magic wand or they have not mastered make-up artistry to paint the walls of India ‘Clean & White’ and doll-up India as developed one. Everybody has an excuse to justify when questioned and so does politicians too.

If we cannot question, If we cannot fight back then, better we forget about developed India & stop expecting politicians to build an organized, orderly system for us

Now, I don’t want to get my fingers dirty here pointing at the in-efficient leaders nor, I don’t want to be judged for generalizing all politicians under one umbrella. One man like NAMO, chaired as PM cannot solely change the fate of the country. Yes, each soul of the country needs to change. I mean 100% change happens only if you, I & 1.2 billion decide to change.

Until then, Believe it or not! ‘India – A developed country’ will remain as a dream forever and ever. 

P.S: Thank you for having read my opinion patiently. Now, please don’t judge me for sitting on a foreign land and writing some sort of crap about my mother land. Only if you get to experience life in a developed country, you will understand what it feels like to be in a country like ‘India’. No matter what, I love my country any day.

Love Treat !!

A little 'Love' treat to ' Beautiful Women ' of my life

There is no need for a day to express my love for her or do I really need a reason to write about her :)

Angel from heaven, Mommy - My first love forever.
A reason for I'm here today, SHE gave me gift of LIFE.

I've seen it in her eyes, her smile,
Her unconditional & endless love, soothing hugs & kisses,
Heavenly love that nurtured me grow into 'Beautiful & Bold Lady' that SHE always wanted me to be.

SHE knows the complete ME,
Thought me to enjoy the smallest things in life,
For, that joy brought happiness & enlightenment into my life.

For all the times, she had been by my side in my happiness & blues,
For all the love, care & comfort all through the years,
There could be no another, She's forever.

Beauty & Grace that SHE carry,
HER striving to make house a beautiful 'HOME',
Strongest women that I've ever known, I will look up to forever,

All I wish is to be that 'IDLE MOTHER' just like 'YOU', when I become a 'MOM'.



Eternally,
Your Little Girl

Sheer Senseless Stupidity !!

I'm no Guru nor, am I a Life coach. But, irresistible I wanted to pen this.

 

Many of you reading this post may have come across people who often come to you with intrigued questions that sound so stupid that, sometimes make you laugh, irritate and at times make you loose your cool. So much inquisitive in others private life that they even forget to think about their own life and goals. 

A few pose pure insane, stupid questions expecting an answer. Pity them !! How does this benefit them in any way ? Does this enhance their skills or does this add to their knowledge? Everybody got a life, we need to think better, work towards reaching goals and aspire in growing to better standards.

There is no wrong in asking questions, gossiping, being a critic and having fun. But, there is a limit for every do and does stupidity too. At times, you need to be tactful and diplomatic while talking. 

Here I go with a top list of most stupid questions I have been asked. This post of mine is not just out of sheer criticism or am I judging anybody here. But, my only hope is to put forth a message to the inquisitive clan out there, reminding them to at-least re-think from now on before they ask some stupid, private life questions to people when they talk.

P.S: No hard feelings please. Enjoy reading and I'm sure you will wear that smile on, as you read through :)

1. You're fat, you could have become slim for your wedding ?

Is it written on my face 'I'm fat' ? I'm healthy & happy .. What's bothering you ? Is there a rule book that say's every one needs to be slim & trim to get married ? Is that alright, if I get thinner for sake of wedding and regain back post wedding ? 

2. You went to a International school, I thought your family is rich. Why did you buy a Honda car and not a Mercedes ?

Huh ! Is that a question ? Insane !! ... Just because, I went to a international school doesn't mean my Dad is 'Bill Gates' and neither I was put up there to get accredited as 'Rich'. 

3. Why did you wear that dress the other day ? You should have worn something else ?

What did you just ask ?? I'm not here to impress you. I cannot wear what you like. I buy what I can afford and that I'm comfortable wearing. Cannot you discuss anything better ? Try being diplomatic. 

4. Oh ! Yours is love marriage ? You did not even tell me.

Uhhhh ! Do I've to announce this to the world ? Is this some where in the so-called rule book ? Please show me ? 

5. I heard you were once in a relationship with Mr.X and you later broke up ? What happened ?

Yeah ! Does this bother you in anyway ? Mr/Ms/Mrs inquisitive ! You just heard a 'once upon a time' story from some jerks, but did you see it with your own eyes to believe that cock & bull story ? Please get your facts right next time you come back to me and ask something like this or I will punch in your face. Boom !!

6. I see restaurant check-in updates from you on Face Book . Don't you or any of your family know how to cook ?

You boredom people ! Because, I go to restaurants a few times in a week it doesn't mean nobody at home cooks. Did you ever go to a restaurant in your life ? which planet did you come from ? 

7. Can you please 'Like' my profile picture ?

Who are you to tell me, what to 'Like', what to wear, what to buy, what to eat, & how to look ? Please look into your life and stop being nosy ! 

8. You went to a Women's college why ? Were you into too many relationships in your teens that your parents feared ?

OMG ! What kind of species are you ? I myself never thought of this. if you've lost your senses please, travel to Himalayas and come back to life.

And the list goes on .................................................

Mr.Right :)

Dedicated to best half of my life : " My Husband " :-)

Sneak & Peek... Sneak & Peek
Yes, I was the secret admirer.

That was more virtual for the world but, seemed more natural to me
For, I could feel a perpetual stream of love that silently swayed my mind and heart.
Withstanding time & distance, Eternity was just a step away
For all, I just wished he could be my Mr. Right someday.

Yes, I heard him ask something I never expected - “Will you marry me “ :)
That was bliss from heaven; Once virtual is now mutual.
Wishes do come to you and, Dreams do come true!
Life has surprised me like never before and never again.
Today when, I look at him, I only see my love, my life and my eternity.

Sneak & Peek… Sneak & Peek
Yes, I’m still his secret admirer for now & forever, this is eternal.

Graduation is here ! :)

Dedicated to Mom, Dad & My Brother !

My teachers, thank you so much for never giving up on me. A huge thank you to all my friends for being there for me. My cousins & family I owe you all so much for the anytime help, care & concern :) :D 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day has come, Much awaited
Graduation is here !
It's time to throw my cap and give a cheer
And, one last time a chance to celebrate with my peers.

All that pain for homeworks & tests is over,
No more of tension that will bother.
yet, those sleepless nights,group study, Midnight Coffee,
never ending late night chats are the best ever.

Those paths I walked through,
happiness, sadness, anger, fear,
Everything that started here
Will remain a memory forever.

It's time to move on as future comes nearer.
Time to part, across states,
New jobs, new lives and,
A beginning to an end.

More dreams to chase,
and lead life's run at a pace.
With bunch of dreams and much hope
There I hold one more degree with the robe.

A Life's Treat, Across Seas - In Pursuit of a Dollar Dream !!

Miles to go before I sleep, Miles to go before I reach.

With bunch of dreams, Across seas, 

From Salwar's to Jeans,

As, I walk those streets, I realize I've miles to go before I sleep.

Hurdles to cross, Grades to make a mark.

With bunch of dreams, Across seas,

From Books to Notebook,

In the midst of my walk, I realize I've miles to go before I sleep. 

In pursuit of a dream, To reach those poles,

With bunch of dreams, Across seas.

To comprehend life better, To keep it simple and lighter,

As, I try to make it, I realize I've miles to go before I sleep.

Across seas, I just wish to scream,

There it is, I just accomplished "A dollar dream".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Been months I penned a post on my blog. I know its been a really long break from writing. As never before I had friends asking me when am I coming up with my next blog post, I had my blog readers email me about my next write up and between all these, I had some random appreciation email's and messages from new readers too.Truly never ever thought, I would really have this kind of follow up for my writings. It makes me feel more responsible and the same time keeps me motivated to come up with good work's in future. I'd never want to brag about myself saying all these.This is to thank all my readers and friends from the bottom of my heart, who always appreciated, motivated and patiently waited on for my next write-up's. " Thank you all :) You're letting me live my dream. " I know, I'm not kind of those very admired or favorable writer's. But, I'm happy with this small bunch of readers and followers I have, for all this is just a start for a dream to be accomplished and make it big :)

I would rather not really wish to write one of this kind now. But, I do have reasons to start off here to pen down a year of life experience across sea's in the name of  " A Dollar Dream ". I still remember those days during my Engineering, when I very seriously started off with my GRE and TOEFL preparations with a plan to  travel across seass to pursue Master's. Between all these, that very plan was completely off my future accomplishments with early bird opportunities that looked satisfactory and appreciable to start of a professional career.

And later, as time passed by I had this past left away plans, that very often disturbed me, and drove me into serious thoughts, knocking my mind, telling me to take-up and walk those roads of University life. I just executed everything that I planned back 2 years and there came a day to leave home and fly across seas in pursuit of " A Dollar Dream ". Though, it was my first flight, I've no reasons, but I didn't have any kind of excitement travelling abroad like what many say they felt so. Probably because, I just left a dream that called me and was heading to pursue a better dream, that I wished to accomplish since years.

Yes, I've seen and experienced "LIFE" in this 1 year of time. You might not be able to accept my say, But its again an " YES, I've seen what LIFE is in a year ". It is definitely a very short span and might be easy for me to put this in words. I have no reasons to bluff or write some crap to entertain my readers. It is always experience that makes me speak up better and write. In-fact, this made me see and create a better & strong ME. Once you accept yourself for who you are, you become a better person :) Not that, I've had some bitter experiences, I've had the chance to experience emotions and understand the tactics of LIFE. Every journey has its own memories to cherish a life time, lessons to learn from, people (or) incidents to discard from your life and keep going. This journey of mine is way the same. All through this journey, it more seemed to me like, I was living the moment. Every Day seemed like a new life beginning and every night like a life end. Every other time I went through some hurdles, I patted and told myself, that things will soon get better and brighter. I indeed appreciated when I accomplished those goals I had on list. I'd better say that I was my " Critic ".

By, far though I've had a roller coaster ride, I have no regrets at all. Like, its said " All shall be done, but its harder than you think ". In-spite of all these I said, I have found life enjoyable, enchanting, active and sometime terrifying experience, and I'm enjoying it completely. Yet, miles to go and far more goals to accomplish and even more lessons to learn to keep life simple, better and beautiful as I always wish for :)

Now looks to me like, I'm taking up LIFE too seriously, and so, I say, this is all for now, and will come up with a nice write-up in my next post, unlike this post now, where I was bragging so much about life and its treat for me ;) If that's right I believe in the say " Future belongs to those, who believe in the beauty of their dreams " :)

Merry Christmas & Wish you all " A Happy & Prosperous New year " :)

I call it " LIFE " .....

" LIFE can't ever really defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for LIFE itself is a writer's lover until death -- Fascinating, Cruel, Lavish, Love, Hatred & Solace to Soul.

I love writing and my LIFE truely is my love for writing. The longer I live, the more I see that I'm never wrong about anything, and that all the pains I've so humbly taken to verify my notions have only made me see a better ME.

You never know what the very next moment holds for you. Its certain & uncertain at times. Everything happens for a reason.The meaning to LIFE is what you give.Its your LIFE, live it to the fullest. Live it to your best. LIFE always gives you a chance so, learn from your mistakes,make the change in you when required.

People Often change for 2 reasons

1.It can be either that you have learned enough that you want to change or,
2.You have been hurt enough that you need to.

When you really want something sometimes,You have to swim a little deeper....You can't give up just because things don't come easy.You have to overcome the obstacles and face your fears.In the end its all worth. " The dark today leads into light tommorow; There is no endless joy,..and yet no endless sorrow."

Learn to learn from LIFE. People learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what they learned the day before was wrong.

Times aren't bad always, Its you who make it for you and thats were you need to be strong and fight back and win it with the will in you.Its your LIFE, don't bother about those evil tongues that bother you and your do's. We cannot control the evil tongues of others;but a good life enables us to disregard them. So, focus on making LIFE good and better.

The choice is yours and you can always choose how you're going to live now and so its rightly said that we don't change as we grow older; We just become more clear ourselves.

Saying all the above I don't say I'm living my LIFE to the best. All that I lined is my learnings that I wish to voice out through my writings.

And now, I still sometimes wonder " If we live life by reliving life, rather than by living life ".
