'What I learned in life is, That no matter how good a person is, sometimes they can hurt you & because of this we must forgive. It takes years to build trust and only seconds to destroy it ..We don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change.. The circumstances and the environment influence on our lives, but we are the one who responsible for ourselves.. That you have to control your acts or they will control you.. That patience requires much pra(...)'

Lessons from death!

';;; A few minutes before the blasts happened, I was leaving from office for home, crossing streets, juggling with whirling traffic and immersing in innumerable thoughts, most of which had nothing to do with other most of the things in life. Alike me, thousands of other people were doing the same things, except that a few of them did not reach home, alike me. They died or reached hospitals; and here I am not counting road accidents as reasons, for the existence of which, the mankind (...)'

'2013 may not be very New from past years, but it could be happy though! Some thoughts to keep me moving this year - The lesser you need, the happier you are!So true... less requirements, less needs, less expectations, less desires.... less problems. Life could be so straight and simple, if only we could let it to be so. This new year, I might try to check my wants a little bit.

'It might seem strange but the people we hate the most are the ones, we have loved the most at some point of time. After all, if love is an extremity of an emotion towards a person, hate is the same emotion but away from the person. The two are totally relevant and related to each other. Somewhere, I had read that till we hate a person we are silently still loving that person a lot and we are still wanting him or her to mend things and unite again. And in cases, where the emotion of (...)'

'"With saddened heart and disillusioned soulI look upon my ever distant goal;Its picture is so clear in my mind;I try to reach it, yet I'm far behind.I am the one who set it long ago.I'd hate myself if I had set it low,But I admit, or it would be a lie,I'm sorry I have set it so high.I have so little hope of succeedingThat when I think of it, my heart starts bleeding;I'm not afraid to die, but just to fail,And not to work-to work to no avail.Yet, though hope be replaced by fear,I sha(...)'

';;; Who says life changes? Even earlier were there people who loved rains, even today there are. The only difference is, earlier we were the ones splashing water on others, now someone else dabs it on us.Even earlier children were lovely, innocent and innocuous. Even now they are. Earlier it took them many years to turn into adults, now they take few.Competition was always fierce … then, now, ever. People were always dissatisfied. We always wondered how some people reached to the to(...)'

'Beyond horizon, there's a world, where everyone is too busy to notice my existence and make opinions or pass judgement about me. That is the world, I am heading to. It might exist in reality or my dreams or even better, my head. But it does exist. And though reaching there seems to be like a task as easy as blinking, I feel that I am taking too much time. Or maybe, the problem is not about discovering that world, but about staying there. Yes so many times I get this feeling of (...)'

';;; It was my dad-in-law’s shraadand we had invited a pandit at our place for some rituals. As we started lunch, the pandit looked pleased to have ‘typical’ north Indian food, considering he himself is a northie and in Hyderabad, most of his jajmaans were south Indian. Inevitable as it was, the discussion about south indian fooding and cuisine started among three northies, with flowing sense of superiority that our cuisine is so rich in comparison to rice-eaters. I too gave my input(...)'

'There are certain cities I so much want to see at least once in my life time. Although I haven't travelled any extensively so there's a lot of nice places skipping my limited knowledge, but with whatever I have.. I really want to go to Calcutta once. I don't know what fascinates me there, whenever I see the pictures of that slow moving, densely populated city... May be mysterious Bongs. Yeah, I had quite many Bengali friends during my college and job days; and I must say the g(...)'

The best thing is I have regained my reading speed, which was going down. See, practice is the key for every single thing. Among all the books, I read these days, two have become special. First, ‘The Emperor of All Maladies – A Biography of Cancer’ by Siddharth Mukherjee; what a Book! The writing is so informative, interesting and lucid that the(...)'

';;; We all know a baby changes your life, but how much... you never come to know until you have one! And when you get one, you just stop keeping the track of how much your life is changing every minute. It’s a cliché to say that babies are God’s biggest blessings and I truly feel sorry for those, who don’t want to have babies. But the baby with itself brings a new dictionary of virtues. It is when you become a mother, you realise the logic behind all the fuss about moral values(...)'

';;; Like all the so called good, cultured, humble girls.. I too had a notion that ‘Fuck’ is a bad word and it must never be used. But after living three decades of life, I have eventually understood the beauty behind this word. It is like African women. The amativeness behind females of this particular gene combination is not comprehended by everyone. The out of proportion curves do not appeal to every individual. But to those they do, they know how blissful it is to watch the (...)'

'Like a lot other young people, I too have negative perception about Godmen – people, who claim to know ways to bring god nearer! Most of them look crooks to me and I have a sympathetic opinion about those who join them. I find such devotees timid, unable to know themselves, and dependent on others.However, my opinion is shouting aloud for a change and I don’t know if I should do that just because for last four days, I myself am opening my heart before a Godman! Yes, I have joined an(...)'
