Fairy Tales in 2011

Admit it ,at some point of time every girl believes in prince charming ..Someone who would sweep of her feet,make her fall head over heels in love with him,rescue her from the evil world and propose her with a big fat diamond ring to live happily ever after.As we row older and "saner" this becomes more of a myth,an imagination and dream .Very recently I heard Carrie Bradshaw(a fictional character) making a very strong feminist statement "What if Prince Charming had never showed up? Would Snow White have slept in that glass coffin forever? " In todays world Snow White would not sleep in Glass coffin forever.Instead she would get up..spit the apple and perhaps find her  prince charming on her own.Hang on..may be first get independent ,find a job,a house to stay and eat a chocolate once a while Cindrella would rather than finding Fairy Godmother to transform her,would  go to the parlour,get a facial done,use her credit card to shop for the party dress from a high en

Scotland Haste Ye back (Part 1)

Kuch Kuch Hota hai was a superhit movie of 1990s.We all loved it .I personally liked the title song especially the location and always dreamt I should go there. So a Genie grant me a wish and it came true.In Aug 2011 I went to the beautiful scenic Scotland, a country which you feel is straight out of storybooks more specifically fairy tales.The castles,the green fields,the highlands,the bagpipers playing on the street,the grazing cattle and sheep,the stony buildings and the cool breeze running in the air. The moment I landed on Edinburgh Airport, I could feel the "scots' air.There was something different about this place.Something unique,something beautiful,something soothing.Not just to the eyes,to the heart too.May be because this was my first visit to Scotland or may be because I had never experience any "colder" place before.But all said and done it was like the love at first sight. We hired a cab to reach the hotel and it was almost 11.00 o clock at night w

Buddha

Someone asked the Buddha : "I have heard that the Dharma is a doctrine of enlightenment. What is your method? What do you practice every day?" The Buddha replied, "We walk. We eat. We wash ourselves. We sit down." Said the questioner, "What is so special about that? Everyone walks. Everyone eats. Everyone washes themselves. Everyone sits down." The Buddha replied, "Sir, when we walk, we are aware that we are walking. When we eat, we are aware that we are eating. When we wash ourselves, we are aware that we are washing. When we sit down, we are aware that we are sitting down. When others walk, eat, wash, or sit down, they are generally not aware of that they are walking, eating, washing, or sitting down." Most of the time we are lost in the past or carried away by the future. When we are mindful,deeply in touch with the present moment,our understanding of what is going on deepens,asnd we begin to be filled with acceptance ,joy,peac

Their Love is one of a kind

Image
He was going..She was coming..He was in a rush to go..She was in a rush to arrive. It was happening for weeks ,months,years, centuries...they were incomplete without each other .yet they were different.He represented life,light,hope.She represented dark,end,melancholy. Whenever they met, they met for a few minutes. Whenever they met,the sky turned pink as if with all their love. Whenever they met,the atmosphere turned beautiful. He was the day and She was the night.They only met twice daily.That was at Twilight. The Dawn when she left and he came The Dusk when she came and he left They dont meet for long.... Both of them have their duties But they do meet. Thus they keep their love alive... The Love which is free from all limitations, The love which finds a way inspite of the cruel world and its rules The love which gives each other space still makes them wait for the perfect time to meet Their love is one of a kind

I think there might be a Ferrari down the road for you - Dr.Brian Weiss

Our bodies and our souls are like cars and their drivers. Always remember that you are the driver, not the car. Don't identify with the vehicle. The emphasis these days on prolonging the duration of our lives, on living to one hundred years of age or more, is madness. It's like keeping your old Ford going past 200,000 miles, past 300,000. The body of the car is rusting out, the transmission has been rebuilt five times, things are falling off the engine, and yet you refuse to turn it in. Meanwhile there is a brand new Corvette waiting for you right around the corner. All you have to do is gently step out of the old Ford and slide into the beautiful Corvette. The driver, the soul, never changes. Only the car. And, by the way, I think there might be a Ferrari down the road for you.

When Bella meets Edward after longgg time

It was really him, no hallucination this time. And I realized that my delusions were more flawed than I'd realized; they'd never done him justice. Edward stood, motionless as a statue, just a few feet from the mouth of the alley. His eyes were closed, the rings underneath them deep purple, his arms relaxed at his sides, his palms turned forward. His expression was very peaceful, like he was dreaming pleasant things. The marble skin of his chest was bare—there was a small pile of white fabric at his feet. The light reflecting from the pavement of the square gleamed dimly from his skin. I'd never seen anything more beautiful—even as I ran, gasping and screaming, I could appreciate that. And the last seven months meant nothing. And his words in the forest meant nothing. And it did not matter if he did not want me. I would never want anything but him, no matter how long I lived.I could feel my heart racing in my chest, the blood pulsing hot and fast through my veins again
