Life as a cup of tea

Image
You must be completely awake in the present to enjoy the tea. Only in the awareness of the present, can your hands feel the pleasant warmth of the cup. Only in the present, can you savor the aroma, taste the sweetness, appreciate the delicacy. If you are ruminating about the past, or worrying about the future, you will completely miss the experience of enjoying the cup of tea. You will look down at the cup, and the tea will be gone. Life is like that. If you are not fully present, you will look around and it will be gone. You will have missed the feel, the aroma, the delicacy and beauty of life. It will seem to be speeding past you. The past is finished. Learn from it and let it go. The future is not even here yet. Plan for it, but do not waste your time worrying about it. Worrying is worthless. When you stop ruminating about what has already happened, when you stop worrying about what might never happen, then you will be in the present moment. Then you will begin to experience joy in

Yin Yang

So God made them.. And then split them into him and her..Yang and Yin.. And then he wiped their memories..and sent them on earth.." Why did you separate us..And how will we find each other? " he asked.. " Your heart will guide you" God said.. Your heart will find her and you ll activate your lost memories..." " but what if I remember and he doesn't? Or he remembers and I dont?"She asked " Then spread the love you have for him.. And you ll find him in every loving touch.. In the smile of the child.. In the wrinkles of the old.. In the touch of a friend.. In the contentment if a stranger..." And with the erased memories..she went on spreading the love in the universe..until they found each other in the uttermost darkest places  and returned home together just as they were..one soul split into 2 bodies

Oceans apart

Image
Miranda wrote letters and poetries to Michael while he was away for work. Despite of the distance between them, her love for him never diminished. And after reading these beautiful words his heart grew fonder.Presenting one such beautiful poetry from Miranda to Michael Glistening of sea waves Sparkling of the sun The oceans remind me Of my beloved one Across the seas he sits Like a king waiting for his queen Time and again reminds me Of the long distance in between  When it is noon there  Here it is night I go to sleep here N there the sun shines bright I look for a ship  or a vessel to sail To cross the seas and go To where my beloved does dwell I would travel all day long Just to see his smiling face Where there are no boundaries  Of distance and space I would go an extra mile To meet him and say All the stories of how Things happening this way So i cast a wish upon the sea To take me to my dear  Crossing the waves  Without any fear The glistening waves  still run in my heart Reflect

Your shadow

Image
You extended your hand towards me How lovely it fit my palm You  turned on my side on bed To see you on my side so warm You cried all day long  But I just held you so tight  Became my best friend When you saw me against light Sometimes you are far Sometimes so near But when you are next to me I really hold no fear There is no me without you I have always been running by your side When light comes you see me In dark i go deep inside You are light i am dark But i cant live without you I am your dear shadow  There is no other you

Inside the head of a writer

Image
It is 4am and I just cannot sleep... I just checked my fb page and saw release of my article in a magazine. Feels great to read your own work. Mean while my head is full of thoughts rather plots about a short story i have been writing. I almost see both the characters Raj and Priya talking to each other , saying things. I observe what they say , what they wear how they look..everything.. I grab my smartphone , open the blogger app and write some lines..it is crazy. Ideas are flowing.. it is 4:39.. I switch off the air conditioner..silence prevails..i hear the dawn breaking..birds chirping..i write for another half an hour. Raj and Priya are still talking..they have a happy ending..I stop writing and make them happily ever after.. It is daylight ..almost.. I better sleep now..got to go to office tomorrow..I go under my blanket and fall off asleep..

Watching you over

Image
Angels watch you on As you go to sleep Whether you are on a beach Or on a mountain steep They bless u all and keep you safe Whether you are far or near Because they love you so much Because you are so very dear So just tell them "thank you" And always love them all Remember they ll catch you If you anytime happen to fall

Only love is real

Image
We hold ..we hold ..we hold We cling on money..property..house..jewellery..the Prada bags and .Gucci shoes We hold our brand new cars..our diamonds ..our wealth..our shares our stocks..our jobs our promotoons ..our status..we dance in this mad illusion for 70-80 years and then..we cross over or what is commonly said as we die We dont take the money to the graves..nor do we take the cars... So what do we take ? We just take love..  And still we run all life to earn the wealth and not love? Let go of everything..only love is real

Over and over again

Image
I open myself to hurt, I open myself to pain When I say I love you.. Over and over again But I know my trust and faith And my love wont go in vain When I say I love you.. Over and over again When it snows in winter When sky begins to rain My heart says  I love you.. Over and over again When sun shines bright When days are sunny again My heart says I love you.. Over and over again Together we ll climb the rainbows We ll have lot of love to gain I just want to tell I love you.. Over and over again You have turned my world upside down I wont be the same again So love me forever All over again!! 

The date

Image
He was standing right there. Waiting for her..he looked as if he could wait for an eternity just to take her out.. One of the most romantic things a man does ever is waiting for a woman when he takes her out on a date..The mixed feelings of apprehension, excitement garnished with a bit of confusion and then the smile on his face and the twinkle in his eyes when he sees her is way beyond the mundane daily things. It was just a date..but her cheeks turned pink when his eyes caught hers.. She loved butterflies...but this time they were dancing in her stomach ... as they rediscovered each other!

Answered prayers

Image
"But I love you "she said as  she kissed him goodbye while he was leaving to go for the war , tears rolling on her crimson cheeks. How could he be so cold so dry.  Her golden tresses swayed to and fro and her naive face grew dryer with melancholy .." Be mine..forever " she said.." I ll pray for you" " You are wonderful.. Beautiful ..loving.. But I have to go.. My motherland needs me more" he started walking leaving her behind " I ll wait for you..till you return" she said " dont.." He said Years passed by..and one day she became a good wife ..not to him but to someone else and a mother who raised good children. With a vacuum in her heart she lived her life transforming to a stone as he took  the warmth away from her heart when he left.She became a war nurse and every time she saw a corpse she prayed for his long life. Every single day she prayed for his long life. After perishing every day in the exulansis of his love , she cr

Summer Solstice

Image
It is Summer Solstice today..one of the day when the sun almost never sets in the Northern hemisphere in some of the beautiful places in Europe The biggest irony of today is the ever so hot sunny city of Mumbai didnt see the sun today  due to crazy rainy weather and fully overcast sky.This is a welcome relief especially after the crazy solo dance performance of the Sun god this April May. Whatever the case may be..I am happy the ever hot Mumbai stayed cloudy and cool whereas the parts of Europe and America witnessed sunshine.. Sometimes happiness means different things for different people . It could be all day sun for some.. And rainy romantic weather for others ; especially when you are in different geographic biomes!! I enjoyed my monsoon cloudy weather on Summer Solstice sitting in my balcony Did you enjoy your day? Happy Solstice

London

Image
London is like a woman in her early thirties.. Old enough to have the right financial independence..right elegance charm and class and still young enough to be fashionable, youthful,vibrant and artistic and extremely sexy.... She knows what she wants and won't settle for anything less..and only a few ones can afford her

The first snow flake

Image
As i walked down the street on a frozen day I remembered the rage of april n may Why is there so much extreme Why is so much heat When weather can be colder on a frozen street I looked up the sky and saw a frozen cloud Waiting to burst on me his song so loud Looking at my crimson facewith some hope As i walked down on the urban slope Then came drizzles each one at a time Dancing on me before i could think what was mine It touched my nose and gently my face..it ran gently on my coat as it it was a race I felt the big drops on my fur coat Against the wind i rocked like a boat It froze on my shoulder, another on my arm And i was overwhelmed by its charm God loves us each and every day Although he doesnt feel the need to say It were tears of joy which he gave from far above  Sending me all the way his special love

The true intimate test

Image
She had never been so affected by the idea of intimacy, but there was something about his eyes; something warm, and gentle even though she felt transparent every time he turned his attention on her; like he could see her, really see her. The idea of being so exposed to someone…it took her breath away.

Bravery of the heart

Image
When it comes to love , you got to be brave. Even the bravest falter when it comes to love. To love is a risk, the risk of not being loved in return..the risk of being rejected..the risk of being not reciprocated in love.  But the bigger risk is not giving a chance to that love. To fall in love is beyond control but to stay in love is a choice. Doyou   want to regret 20 years later and think I wish I had given them a chance?  So what are you waiting for.. Go ahead and speak your heart out.. Tell them what they mean to you..a small gesture..a small talk a small smile and a small touch saying " I am there for you" " you mean the world to me" " I ll never leave you" or a simple kiss or a small hug or a hand on shoulder is enough You got to start somewhere.. Remember all love stories were one sided in the beginning..but someone took the first step and said I love you..be the one if you really love..be brave..really brave

10 Things to learn from Dil Dhadakne Do

Image
10 things DDD taught you 1) Follow your passion ..whether it is dancing, flying, journalism or setting up your own startup.You ll struggle a lot initially but will get there 2) Tell the truth to your parents ; it is better than lying to them. You have to tell them you have your own opinions and you got to be frank with them. They love you unconditionally although they may do drama at times. After all they are your real "life boat" 3) Take your siblings into confidence ; they are your real support pillar. They may eat your ice cream but no one will understand you like them. Support them, love them and be there for them. They are your true best friends 4) Have faith and patience with your love life rather than jumping into a"practical" marriage of convenience.  At the same time dont make your girlfriend/boyfriend wait for too long. They may not wait that long and both of you may land up being miserable for years 5) Listen to your heart,and use your head to get there.

If you have a big bottom ,go for a flare on the bottom and tight on the top 3) The date dress Keep it ready.. Trust me. Even if you are perpetually single!  Your dream guy may just ask out any time and honestly you wont have the time to shop or decide or think.
