I already said that, kuch nahi nikalega! But everyone was ready to make fool of themselves for trying to find 1000 tonnes Gold!
Kya hua? Kuch nahi nikla na...

Everyone just ended up being greedy about it. Many even came running for their share into it! Wah... I was boosting about this false claims being faulty, I guessed it to be so from day one! I wished I would have betted with Mom, apart from others at least I would have had something in my pockets... But I didn't do that and now I'm too Like others! Never mind better luck next time, everyone including me! :-P P. S.: Was that good bye (http://www.searchingmeinme.blogspot.in/2013/10/adieu.html?m=1) for name sake? <\i> Chill yarr... Don't you all know how unpredictable I'm? :-P It was just to let you all know, if my posts doesn't come up then SAMAJH JANA! ;-)

Adieu...

With the each movement of the seconds hand of the clock, the time of exam is coming nearer... I am only left with 9days more days to start with my exams on 5th November, 2013, CA final.
All my days, hours, seconds, nano seconds are dedicated to my studies or related to that... like just now am talking about studies-exams, similarly!

Hence, I thought I would formally take a leave from the Blogging world for 25days than not post anything in any assumption...

Will be right back with my thoughts and actions and of course my SEARCH after 21st November, 2013!

Till then take care of yourselves, have a blasting (doesn't mean crackers blast but cheerful, happy and rocking), safe and prosperous Diwali.
Enjoy yourselves and your beautiful LIFE!

AIDEU!

Techno world...

Yesterday, early morning came a phone call with the news of new member in the family. My cousin sister-in-law safely delivered a baby. There was all happy moment in the family and everyone was happy.
I have always had very close relationship with my cousins, they're my first friends and closest too.
And secondly I love kids. After listening to the news I was dying to see the baby but being far away, in different State it was surely not possible for me to do so.
But my disappointment got erased soon after I got a Watsapp message with the picture and video too of the new born, on my brothers cell, I've disconnected Watsapp till exams! :-P
Wow! I was very happy to see the baby in pic. He looked so tender and pinkish. One day babys are mostly very delicate but the video showed his activeness, he was shaking hands, yawning, looking at the camera straight, eyes were twinkling, he even smiled... :-)
Wow! So cute he is you can't even imagine.

Once again I became an Aunt and he is an addition to the list of my nephews!

All this had been possible because of the technology. It's really a boon! :-)

Mera Adhaar tu hi...

Yesterday there was knock on the door. It was Postman. I became happy thinking he brought my hall ticket which I mostly got either after exam or did not get at all...
But when he handed me the envelopes it wasn't hall ticket I noticed but a white envelope and not the usual dark greenish-greyish sorts.
After the postman went I looked closely and it was my Adhaar card! :O
My proof of being a proud INDIAN! Yippie...!!!!!
Yahoo...!!!!!
Wow...!!!!!

It had not been even a month that I registered for Adhaar and it was in my hands! Wow! I was amazed. Having heard that it reaches after 3 months, many even complained that it didn't reach them even though they've registered it since more than a year ago, mine coming so soon was a happy and cherishing moment.
I read the details properly, it was all correct and my pic was also proper.

My brother had not yet got it even though he had registered for more than 6 months ago but I got it first in my family! Yeah...

May be it's election effect...
Ha ha ha...
Whatever it is, I'm at benefit but...
:-P

Blessed in disguise as they say...
Ha ha ha... :-D

Addiction

There are 5 wall clocks in house, one in each room/kitchen...
But even if one watch stops or starts showing wrong time, it feels so confused and incomplete...
I've noticed this many times...
Same is when I forget to wear my wrist watch...
Time and again when eyes go to the watch than I realise that how many times I see watch...
Otherwise normally we don't notice our moves so closely but such incidents prove our addictions towards few things...

Absentmindedness

My oxford dictionary says it's, preoccupation so great that the ordinary demands on attention are ignored...

Hmmm...
That's why when I'm preoccupied with any thought the ordinary demand of attention that my book demands and if I couldn't give then despite my eyes have read an answer for 10th time still my brain fails to register it and there remains no difference whether I read it or not...

Peace of mind and focus is key component to understand and keep things inside our brain...
No, actually to keep things reach the brain...

That thin line between discipline and freedom...

Yesterday, my neighbor, a 7yr old boy, Sonu, suddenly went missing. He went to play in the garden after his school at 6.30pm. His mother called him out, from their gallery from where the garden is clearly visible, at 7.30pm, when Aunty noticed that it was dark outside and almost no one was there. His elder sis went down to bring him back when she didn't found any response from him after the calls.
After few minutes there was knock on the door, Aunty and the girl both looked worried and said that they were unable to find Sonu in the society. We all were shocked and worried at the same time. Looking at current environment, all sort of different worrisome thoughts were creeping in everyone's mind. Soon my brothers went to search him and knocked at all the doors of the three wings but the answer was NO. I stayed back at home thinking if he would return I shall be there to notice him. Hours passed but we didn't find him at anywhere in garden nor at anyone's place, where mostly he goes sometimes to play with his friends.
I remembered last time just few days before I scolded him for roaming around here and there at night time. But those words seemed to have fell on his dead ears I guess!
Thinking about what would have happened to Sonu, the heart was sinking into emotions as well as my sick body and mind was unable to bear that emotional trauma and anger was creeping up as high as possible!
Ever since he had born, since his day 1 on this earth I've seen him and his absence like this was unbearable but I had to control my own emotions looking at his mother, who was already in about-to-cry situation. I've always kept my control over him looking at the leniency of his parents. They've always given me equal rights too to say him whatever is needed to keep him disciplined. He feared no one at all except me, that doesn't mean I didn't love him. But I always consider, kids should have fear of someone that would prevent them from doing any wrong.

Scenes of past flashed in front of my eyes when I myself told his mother to allow him to play outdoor coz that's the age when he can enjoy and sitting at home and watching TV would not give him any advantage and make him dull, a physical activity leads to an active brain and physique. But this incidence happening in such a way, I felt like I'm responsible for everything, though no one pointed out finger on me!
I quickly ran to my door, that was not locked but slightly got closed due to wind, when I heard foot steps of someone. It was him... Just having a look on my face he understood what he'll have to face now. His sis found him at place of someone new in the society, whom none of us yet know! He was watching TV there and was playing with a kid of his age. Neither he informed anyone at home nor came otta house when everyone was calling out his name in the society surrounding. He always give deaf ears to such calls, I've always noticed this. I dragged him near me and wanted to give a tight slap but somehow controlled. Taking both his wrists in my hands, I held them tightly, I started shouting at him at a voice which indicated the seriousness of the issue. I tried to make him understand how serious the matter had went and how much everyone was worried about him. We even called up his dad and informed to come home fast, uncle was on his way. Later we informed him that his son was safe. Slowly everyone returned back home after informing others in the society that we've found our child safely, as everyone was worried and concerned about the issue. I continued scolding even after everyone was there. Mom tried to stop me but I couldn't, as if words were directly coming otta my mouth. His eyes were down and I warned him if he would cry then it'll be more bad for him. Finally I could stop but I punished him and made his kneel down... Without a word he obeyed. I announced that from today he is banned from watching TV and playing outside, also not allowed to cross the door line of my home! Our house has always been special for him, he is allowed to come and play at even 11pm, eat anything he likes, do anything he want, study, play, dance, anything... But now he is banned for those everything...

This must teach him lesson that he is yet a kid and is responsible to answer his elders all his actions and may this punishment bring seriousness in him...

In all this there was fault of family too, they either don't allow him to go out or if allowed don't notice what their kid is doing!
Freedom should be given but not in lieu of discipline!

Black spot...

While typing post suddenly I noticed a black spot in the form of F1 vertically written on right corner of my android...
Closely noticing the same I concluded that somehow my screen has got cracked!
OMG! :’(
I can't remember when this happened...
May be last time when it dropped down from the bed... But it didn't when last so many times it had slipped from my hands or fell down from the chair or from heights more than that... Then how come this time? :O
But, touch wood, it's still alive and in equally working condition! :-|
But it's disturbing, that F1... o_O

Deemed Sunday!

Whenever everyone is at home, especially those who work and leave early morning and come back home after sunset, they're usually at home on Sundays and whenever they're at home on any other day, still that other day become Sunday in all regards and I lose track of days and dates...
:-) :-P
For instance, yesterday despite it being Saturday it felt it was Sunday but actual Sunday is today!

Did you get what I want to convey?
No...
Then your problem... :-\

I love this genre of song.

Where is the glittery GOLD?

I went insane after listening to the news about the buried 1000 ton gold! Some sadhu (saint) claimed it to be buried at the surrounding of a temple! And to my surprise everyone seems to be believing it for some reason.
Talking about people of the village, they wish this claim to come true coz their poverty would get erased! I wonder if they'll get anything ever otta it... Innocent people they are...
Talking about others in general, those who are going to visit that place, I'm very much surprised that people are excited about such claims and are visiting place as a picnic spot for fun and joy...
As far as our dear-respectable government is concerned, I have really no faith if people who despite of everything in their hands can still let the economy dip into this deficit state now their claims of this treasury saving the country seems equally bogus and deceitful to me and am sure to many others as well!
Here too am sure people would have very rightly planned of how to get their pockets glittered with the same...
Hence even if something come otta it, in which I have 100% doubts, I highly disbelieve any such thing, but if we consider that don't-know-how-hypothetical if just supposedly something comes out what's the guarantee that it'll be applied to the best for the country? Best opportunities for the economy have already been lost by those who should have done something...
I don't trust into them now...

In all... who are going to be benefited are I guess the villagers, for only fame part, they're at world level now become a known name of belonging to that village...
And... The media... for they got the hot news with them and until some result come out they'll cover that and we're there to watch it and even if something doesn't come up still they aren't at any loss coz they'll still be their with their analysis of how everyone got fooled by the fuss...
In all it's providing best entertainment to my family members and have become a debatable issue, am sure same would have been scene at most houses...
Few believing it, few not... only time will say what's the truth...
Till then lets wait and watch...

PS: I guess media sector will boom surely, gold or no gold they'll be glittering surely...
Ha ha ha... :-D

What to consider and what not?

Few of my friends post their qualification are employed with esteemed organizations, with lavish ambience, great working environment and all sort of other perquisites available, of course good package too...
But...
Ask them about their work PROFILE, they themselves not sure what exactly it is, Accounts/Tax/Audit/Finance or WHAT?

I wonder is it the way it should be?
Of course I don't know for neither I'm yet qualified like them and nor I've to take decision but they are and they've made their choices...

But I guess I'll pre-decide it before getting into anything as to if that position is going to make me happy from inside too and give me value addition in terms of my knowledge too and not just make my pocket heavier with the bucks...

Well I've many other plans too than to get busy into doing something of those sorts...

First things first but and that is to become CA!

Till I clear my exams I'm at least relieved from this burden of what next thing! But enough of relief I've had I want to go to next step now...

Inspiring old man...

While reading an old man's blog, for that matter I'm addicted to it sort of, I feel immense pleasure being young! For the way he enjoys his life post 70, it feels life is so much full of fun and learning yet challenging too without which life wouldn't have been realisation of those happiness! Age is just a number he has proved it very well since he lives joyous life and have young heart!
Keep doing your work or some kinda work till you're alive is also his mantra. At this juncture too he is strong, fit and healthy, working like a normal person in his 25-30s! It's inspiring!
His dedication for work and commitment capabilities are superb. Beyond everything he is humble and very well acknowledges the love of his followers and their blessings in his life!
He too had ups and downs in his life but could conquer it with his strong will power. His voice still has that power and impact and is always full of energy.
He is not just professionally successful but socially too. He has family who loves him and whom he too loves. He plays with his granddaughter whenever finds time.

Life has got new means after getting to know about this old man...
Life has got new hopes after getting to know about this old man...
Life has got new reasons to live after getting to know about this old man...
Life has got new inspiration of how to live after getting to know about this old man...

The old man who is just old by number not by heart...
He is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan!

Demand or Respect?

To my friend who messaged me that it's respect for girls on Ramnavmi and not demand,

Jay, had it been respect it would not have been momentary but forever, isn't it?

Of course while claiming that I am not considering those people who love their daughter or who don't mind having a daughter or only daughters in their family but to those who don't ever will that they have daughter in their family and yet try to give respect on these occasions!

Once I've heard this saying that, everyone want a freedom fighter or a revolutionary person to be born in their neighbours who can bring changes in the society but no one want that person to be born in as his own child!
It sounds quite similar to me in this regard too that everyone want girl but not as their daughter, but as daughter-in-law of their son...
If there would be no girl being born whom will your son get married to then? (except he have other preferences! :-P sorry for diverting! :-D) For that people want girl to be born at others home!
Having said that I am one of those lucky girls whose parents have always given her equal rights and love as to their sons. In fact sometimes more I would say coz I've felt that! When I were to born my parents willed that they have a baby girl, my Mom even had mannats like people have for a boy and I was born to them willingly and not as a life given forcefully by God!
Hence I know the difference well enough between demand and respect!

PS: 1. It was nice to hear from you Jay, it's been long since you've said anything about my blog posts! I thought you might be busy with your schedule that lost track of it! :-P
And to my friend Sara, who thinks she's only creature on this earth reading my gibberish talks, there are others too! :-P
Ha ha ha... :-D

2. Feminist, if someone would tag me I won't deny it!

One day demand!

I was studying  and suddenly there was knock on the main door, everyone was busy doing something so I opened it. There was one girl of around 16-17yr old, an unknown, standing in front of me. I gave her full I-don't-know-you expressions and also what-do-you-want? one too!
She very lamely asked, "is there any small girl at your house?"
I understood the purpose and humbly said, "NO" until she could prefer me there was no girl at our house! ;-) :-P
She asked if I know any and I told her about few at my complex.

Shutting the door back, I wondered...

At least on one day in India there is demand for girls...

On Ramnavmi mostly people invite little girls for lunch or dinner. They're being considered as avatar of goddess Durga.

How funny. Are girls avatar of Goddess Durga only one day?

Aae Halllooo...

As the garba music touched my ear drums, they brought back memories of childhood...

I would play garba like mad from start of night till the last person on the floor I would be there with them shaking my legs with the rhythm and in correct tune with everyone else considered elder to me then. Started playing at a very young age of 5 yrs around. Mom would dress me up on different themes and I would go to do garba in the society where I lived as a child.
People would get busy watching KBC and that would annoy me coz we would start of late and then end at the same time coz everyone had office or some other commitments to be done next day for which they need proper sleep and also to some they had get up early!
Today remembering those days it seemed like so many things have changed yet few remaining same. I'm now not a toddler but an adult with my own commitments and busy schedules, my place of dwelling has changed and currently they don't celebrate it, for whatever reason it may be, not a matter of discussion for now. Last I played garba was approx 13 yrs back! Yeah...
Long long back...
But then everyone considered me a child and would not let me play in main stream but a small group would be formed inside the circle formed by elders where small children would be asked to play. I would hate it so much then that the feeling of sadness still can be felt deep inside somewhere! I would wish to grow up and then dance with them, the elders and then no one will stop me from dancing with them I would wonder.
But didn't knew that after I grow up I would not even get a chance to have a glimpse of seeing others play garba, forget about myself playing it! Whole lot of years flew away listening same songs from my window and remembering the childhood while having books in front of me. Maximum, I would dance on my own on those songs when the lost child inside me would return back.

This year that sound too vanished as a new concrete stood in between that complex and mine. So it was blank, dumb and silent... And me and my books were left at peace yet empty...

Today was change from it... KBC was still on air, as I said, few things that didn't change was this, Mr. Bachchan's presence in our lives, may he long live with all his wisdom and talent, I wanted to change something today. I asked my family if anyone interested in coming to watch the garba program that is being very nicely and in great way organised at a distance 10 mins walkable from my home, being near I was still far from it since past 13yrs...
Enough of sacrifices I've made for my academics and yet it had not assured me any secured out put, this regret of losing on to something that cannot be brought back for something that too didn't yield anything is very itchy! I wanted to get over it. I've seen people, enjoying everything and yet today they're all established professionals too. It's all about knowing your priorities definitely but also about doing things with focus and in right way whenever you do it. Book in front of me but me dreaming about something that I can't do is all waste of sacrifices and yet no results of it situation...
Hence I decided that this time I'm gonna have fun as well as studies both...
I went with family to see garba. There was such a huge crowd. People in thousands were present. Many shaking their legs few looking them shake their legs! I wanted to shake mine too but was not sure if my legs would play the same rhythm as I could as a child? We returned back home. I played a song on my cell and started playing garba trying that rhythm that I saw today after years...
For my surprise I could dance with same rhythm... And I continued to enjoy myself and my night...
As the garba music touched my ear drums, they brought back memories of childhood...

PS: This life of ours is too short to live heavy hearted, with regrets, rather we must live to learn what we want exactly and in what our happiness lies? We can always manage time except we decide to do so!
Today found child-me in lost grown-up-ME... :-)

Promise yourself...

11th Oct, International day of girl child!

Merely observing Day of the Girl Child isn’t enough!
She deserves to live on a planet where she is treated like a full-fledged human being — not as a plaything...

I am generally not a big fan of United Nations publicity campaigns. Just take the UN’s habit of setting aside particular “international observance days” as a way of highlighting various worthy causes. What, for example, are we supposed to make of gimmicks like World Poetry Day or the International Day of Happiness?

One of the problems with such campaigns is that they tend to preach a kind of ecumenical optimism that hovers high above the complexity of real-world politics. Who could possibly oppose poetry or happiness? Even Syrian President Bashar Al Assad would proclaim himself fully in favour. So what is the point, then?
Cynical though I am, I have to confess that one of those days has started me thinking. October 11 marks the UN’s International Day of the Girl Child. Forget the awkwardly tautological title: The event itself offers an occasion to consider some of the specific problems faced by girls around the world. That seems like a potentially constructive provocation — perhaps because I cannot help thinking about my own nine-year-old daughter and the challenges she is likely to face precisely because she is a girl.
She was lucky enough, of course, to be born in one of the world’s wealthiest and most stable societies, which makes it less likely that she will have to confront some of the uglier injustices that plague girls in other parts of the world. But of course, not even the US is immune to threats of sexualised violence or economic discrimination. So let us simplify matters. Let us just assume that my daughter is a global citizen — along with the world’s other 900 million girls aged 15 or under. What kind of life does she have a right to expect?

First and foremost, she deserves to live in a free society where her individual human rights are respected, regardless of gender. Political systems aren’t necessarily the best guide to this. It is great that Rwanda has equal numbers of men and women in parliament, for example, but I wonder if that really means much in a country where the president has the final say in everything. There are plenty of benign despots in the world who claim to promote women’s rights by pledging equal opportunity, but I wonder how far such pledges can be taken seriously when those women can be thrown into jail at a moment’s notice for making critical remarks about their leaders.

Democracy is certainly preferable to any other form of government — though not even the existence of democratic institutions automatically guarantees proper respect for the rights of girls. Just look at India, where village girls are routinely pulled out of school, whether they like it or not, and forced to become child brides at appallingly young ages. One Indian activist recently made an observation that certainly holds true for too many other parts of the world: “Girls are considered second-class citizens. They carry your bag to school for you. They get your dinner. The sexist attitude is ingrained in the way one is brought up here. When I had my second child, and she happened to be a girl, my in-laws, who are very well-educated people, were not very happy about it.”

But at least Indians can openly discuss the shortcomings of traditional ways, which facilitates evolution and change. I’m not sure we can say the same about, say, Saudi Arabia.

And while we are on the subject of girl brides: No, I don’t want to see my daughter married off in early adolescence to someone who has essentially offered me the highest price. I want her to be able to choose her own spouse and I want her — and no one else — to choose the moment when the time is right for that.

Needless to say, long-accepted traditions in many countries weigh heavily against doing away with child marriage. The UN is to be applauded for drawing attention to the broader social ills caused by the practice. (To name but one, marrying off girls at early ages almost always means that their educations are cut short.) Last year, UN agencies used the International Day of the Girl Child to stage a global campaign focusing on the need to do away with child marriage. I would like to see them do more.

What else? Well, my daughter deserves to have the same educational opportunities as her male counterparts. Girls should not be shunted off into vocational training aimed at turning them into better housekeepers. They should have access to all the subjects that boys are allowed to study — including math and science, all too often viewed as “inappropriate” subjects for girls. If my daughter finds that she has a knack for engineering, why not?
Sadly, there are many societies that still hew to the notion that science, technology, and mathematics (STEM) are the natural province of men.
Educational systems built on such preconceptions will tend to push female students in corresponding directions. (In China, for example, women account for only about a third of the workforce in STEM-related professions.)
Speaking of school: My daughter deserves the chance to participate in sports as she sees fit. There’s nothing in the Bible, the Quran or Buddhist scripture that should prohibit her from playing football, baseball or chess. (And yet this is still a matter of considerable controversy in some countries. I hope that the growing prominence of women athletes is starting to wear down some of those pathetic prejudices.)
Next: There should be no coercive exploitation of my daughter’s labour. There is no justification for slavery in the modern world. Yet this, too, is still far from a given. All too often, girls are regarded as chattel, property that can be bought or sold. This is unacceptable. Human beings, and especially children, cannot be owned. Unfortunately, it is often girls who have the least power to resist such pressures, both from inside and outside their families. It is only right to push for greater protections wherever possible.

Now, I realise that it is customary in some places for children to support their families with their own work, sometimes from very early ages. This is especially true in agrarian societies, where having more children is sometimes a strategy for ensuring a bigger labour force and thus greater prosperity for the family as a whole. So making things better for children, and especially girls, will require a wholesale change in economic conditions — not the kind of thing that happens overnight. Yet, it’s important to keep the right goal in view: Wherever possible, children should be learning, not working.

And then there is the most uncomfortable topic of all: Rape. Girls everywhere deserve to be protected from sexualised violence in all its forms. You would think this would go without saying. But recent events show us that there are still too many men in the world who think that coercing women into sex is perfectly fine. The notorious Delhi gang rape case has helped dramatise the dimensions of the problem. (Personally, I think I have been just as shocked by what that scandal tells us about attitudes towards rape within the Indian elite as by the crime itself.)

The UN is also to be applauded for taking on this topic. The organisation recently conducted a study (the results of which were published in the British medical journal The Lancet) that found that one-quarter of 10,000 men interviewed in six Asia-Pacific countries had forced women to have sex with them. Worse, half of the men who confessed to having committed rape had done so as adolescents — strongly suggesting that this is a horror that affects girls as much as it does women.

This is not the kind of world I want my daughter to grow up in. She deserves to live on a planet where people treat her and other girls like her as full-fledged human beings, not as playthings or economic assets. Honouring their promise and potential will often require huge changes in established institutions and traditional ways of doing things.
I am glad that the UN has the gumption to take on this controversial subject by drawing attention to the problems specifically facing girls. I know it will be hard to change, but we have to try. Anything else is a betrayal.

New motivational mantra...

STUDY hard beyond your imagination and achieve something beyond others imagination...

By my friend-Sara!

We'll surely buddy!

Nothing is better than something fake

NO relationship is better than BAD relationship!

Happy being single...

Impurities everywhere, in everything, at every place and in everyone...

The air that we breathe is no more pure but full of pollution, dust and harmful gases.
The food we eat is no more pure but full of chemical fertilizers.
The place where we stay, walk, live, our surrounding is no more pure but full of filth, litters, etc.
The people we are surrounded by are also now no more with their real characters, everyone is just masked with good mask; deep inside few are sad, few are broken, few are innocent, few are victims, few are corrupt, few are evils, few are devils, few are bad intentioned, few are faulty, few are fraud, few are jealous, few are enemies, few are joyous, few are fake, few are sham...

Dandiya-Raas = Raas-leela

Listening to radio came across a show. The RJ was saying something that shocked me somehow! "Dear friends today we're going to show you real picture of few people and what they do during Dandiya nights. We are today associated with one of the detective along with whom we're going to go on an investigation. First lets have talk with the detective."
The detective,"During Navratri our business is at boom always! Ha ha ha... ...today I've a case in hand where the husband is otta town for some official work but he is doubtful about his wife and want me to follow her and investigate into what she do, where she goes, whom she meets, etc, etc..."
RJ,"Friends today we're going to accompany Mr. Detective on his mission to give you true picture of everything live! Are you ready to face reality?! Ha ha ha... C'mon lets go..."
They followed the car in which the lady whom the husband suspects is driving. She first goes to parlor, get ready... They investigate but there were only females in the parlor. No suspect till now. Later she returns home... They investigate but there was no one else then the wife herself... She gets ready and move otta house... In the car she's alone... They followed her... She enters a parking lot near the Dandiya show. They wait for her to come... waits... waits more... Finally decide to head themselves into the parking... There was someone in the car this time... They knock on the glass... A male voice turns up asking, who the hell it is????!!!!

It's a true story!
In fact last year too I heard in news about Dandiya was, the correspondent was asking a doctor about her experience and her answer was, the cases of abortions during Navratri are more than 70% than during the year we would notice!

I was shocked then... I was shocked today... But I'm sure I'll be not shocked in future... Because I now know the reality...

I've many times posted about mens' misbehavior but this one coming up coz I'm not biased to any sex being a woman but to know the true picture of everyone around. I never assumed nor believed any one race to be bad and another innocent...
They all are same...
If not all men are devil then not all women are devi too!

Harsh reality...

Meri bholi bhali MAA...

Janam janam ho tu hi mere paas Maa...
Janam janam ho tu hi zameen aasman...

Ye hai khabar dil mein kahin Rab rehta hai, magar mere dil mein rehti bholi bhali meri Maa...
Mere dil mein rehti bholi bhali meri Maa...

Pagli hai duniya Rab ko manaane
Mandir mazaaron tak jaati hai
Ghar mein hi mere hota hai teerath...
Mujhko nazar jab Maa aati hai...
Mujhko nazar jab Maa aati hai...

Janam janam tu meri ardaas Maa
Janam janam tu mera ehsaas Maa
Sach ka pata dil mein hi hai
Par mujhko ye pata mere dil mein rehti bholi bhali meri Maa...
Mere dil mein rehti bholi bhali meri Maa...

Bachpan se ab tak Maa se kya seekha main yeh jahaan ko batlaunga...
Jab naaz hoga tumko bhi mujh pe wo din yaqeenan main laaunga...
Wo din yaqeenan main laaunga...

Janam janam hun tera vishwas Maa
Janam janam rahoon main tere paas Maa...

Inn khwaahishon, inn koshishon se pehle to magar mere dil mein rehti bholi bhali meri Maa...
Mere dil mein rehti bholi bhali meri Maa...

Mana bada hoon
Tanha khada hoon
Kaise jiyunga yoon jo chhoda...

Chup na raho tum
Kuchh to kaho tum
Achcha chalo phir daant lo thoda...
Achcha chalo phir daant lo thoda...

Maa Janam janam ho tu hi mere paas Maa
Janam janam ho tu hi zameen aasmaan...

Seh lunga main sab sahke bhi
Keh doonga yeh magar mere dil mein rahti bholi bhali meri Maa...
Mere dil mein rahti bholi bhali meri Maa...

Loveliest song of Phata Poster Nikla Hero! :*

I can't bear him anymore! :’(

He is coming... coming closer... more closer to me with each passing day!
Not that I wanna resist that moment but I want a bit more time... just a bit, not much... not that I don't want him to come but it catches on my nerves just before the moment... but he doesn't seems to understand me ever... he never listen to me ever... :-(
But its not his fault too its me who always gets nervous at last moment just before his arrival!
I prepared myself in advance this time but still it feels the same as always.
I do hate him but I got no option, I've to bear him. :-\
But enough of his torture now! I'm not going to entertain him more, no more, not anymore...
I'm going to finish this forever now...
Yes, I'm going to finish it because I can't bear it anymore...

These EXAMS they always make me feel so but now I'm going to crack it this time and not allow him to torture me more! B-)

No nonsense acceptable! :-|

One day when our maid, who is always very much in hurry and busy, who always run away even without informing that her work is done but when we find her missing we have to conclude her gone, came for work Mom could catch hold of her and asked if she would like to have TEA coz to our previous maid we would give tea and breakfast. Her reply was, today I'm getting late! And she went.

Next day Mom prepared it ready by the time she completed her work so that her time is saved and that day her reply was, time pass mat karo na!
And Mom was stunned o_O and was like, ja fir! :-/

All of us others who noticed the incidence were ROFL! :-D

From next day whenever our maid comes one of us ask her for tea and another answers time pass mat karo!
And we all ROFL! :-D

Life of all working people is really busy no doubt but few are very serious about it like our dear maid! :-)
:-P

Manzil milegi

Manzil usse hi milti hai jo haar nahi manate.
Jo har kathinaiyon ka saamna karte hain, unse dar kar nirash nahi hote.
Jo raah badalte hain lekin manzil nahi badalte.
Jo aapne nishchay se aapne khwab pure karte hain.
Jo bhagya badalne mein vishwas rakhte hai, apna bhagya jaan kar usse manzil mante nahi balki khud aapna bhagya banate hai apne haathon se.
Jo humesha dusron se prerna lete toh hai lekin apni manzil par pahunchne ke baad dusron ke liye khud ek prerna bante hai.

Kabhi kabhi Suraj ke bhi saamne kaale kaale baadal aa jaate hain aur uske prakash ko andhakar mein badal dete hain. Lekin Suraj ghabarata nahi aur aapni roshni par bhi shak nahi karta. Kyun ki usse pata hai ke ye baadal toh kuch pal ke liye hain aur annt main uska prakash fir se pure sansaar main falega. Aur wo issi umeed ke saat baadalon ke beech akela khada rehta hai. Aur fir unhe cheer kar fir se aapna prakas failata hai.
Ussi tarah raat ka andhera kitna bhi gehra kyun na ho, raat kitni hi lambi kyun na lage, Suraj fir bhi aapne agali subah aata hi hai jeet ki nayi umang le kar!

BIG B's Blogging passion!

In todays KBC episode when Sumit Awasthy asked Big B, Amitabh Bachchan that why don't you retire and still be so busy writing, tweeting, etc when you only eat mere dal-roti?

Answer was,
(As much I can recollect)

It's been 1999 days since I've been writing and there had been not a single day when I would have not written anything on my blog ( http://srbachchan.tumblr.com) and it's something that I started few years back and I wanted to continue this process forever and hence it's a habit now to write and also tweet coz due to that I can interact with my fans and without which I can't sleep!
Everyone has to work for his livelihood hence I too work. Without any work a human being will do what! Only get sick. So it's better to work till you're alive.

It was so inspiring as a writer to know the passion of another writer, blogger!

There had been days when I could also not write but this has given me an inspiration to follow my passion beyond other hurdles that comes in our life which might stop us from doing what we like but if we're determined enough and have strong will to do something then ways would definitely be created!

Fasting means improving yourself in more better ways!

I always fast for whole 9days during Navratri and also many fasts goes on during a year with different mythological significances but I also do them for some extra reasons.
The toughest I've done is 9days without a pinch of salt consumption, of course your can't eat any serial but we have this fasting salt that we mostly use in fast related food and can consume, it is considered so. But one I did was without any form of salt consumption. It was challenging but equally exciting. I like to challenge myself. I successfully did that.
Also I've done no water for almost 30hrs, including no food too. I consume water very excessively so for a person like me who after waking up within 2 hours consumer at least a litre of water and during whole day drinks approx. 9-10 litres it was challenging too. I enjoyed it. It was exhausting but still surviving it was thrilling and gave me confidence that I'm not slave of anything.

This time I'm doing only with fast salt. Exam time so to concentrate you need to be healthy.

I have different ideology for doing any fast.
May it be Teej and Nirjala ekadashi vrat, fasting even without a drop of water or normal fasts without food that we generally eat.

I fast coz I want to give myself a tolerance test. Hunger is something which many people can't control. Being human being we many times loose control on ourselves may it be on our emotions or any other thing. There should be self discipline into everyone imbibed by own will. We should know how to control ourselves. We only try controlling people, things and circumstances around us but not try any type of control on our own selves.
Fast gives you strength to control your needs and greeds. It let one be calm, composed and patient. It brings awareness and presence of mind so that you remember whole day that you don't have to munch on to anything. Many times I forget that it's my fast and at morning after brush I have tendency to search for munching something but sometimes all of sudden even before my hands could reach to any food my brain automatically reminds me that today is your fast and I stop there. It even increases memory, you may say.
It gives me strong will power. No matter how much tasty and favourite food is being made at home and being served to others or even I have to serve them at times or cook for them but I can still eat just fruits or salad and not even once in my mind a thought would come regretting that today is my fast and I can't eat it or my mouth would water. Coz fasting too is my decision so I stick to my decision happily. Coz today is definitely not last day of my life nor is it that I've never ate my favourite food ever. So I'm positive that today I can eat fruits and be happy into it and be hopeful that someday I'll get to eat that too.
I always believe in, Eat to live not live to eat!

Hence I love fasting coz its gives me patience, challenge, self control, self discipline, strong will power, builds my inner strength of not being greedy for anything material, provides inner satisfaction in being happy with what I've and I can, and many more things! :)

PS: For girls it also helps in losing weight! ;) :P

Superstitions

Huh!
You too might have heard about so many of superstitious things and might have yourself followed them too or would be following them too for that matter!
Similarly in my caste/community/creed/custom/tradition whatever name called there are so many superstitious things.
For instance, one should not travel to native on Wednesday!
Not to wash hairs on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Haan one more, girl having brother should not wash hairs on Sundays too!
Not to cut nails and do shaving too on those Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays...
Blah Blah Blah... There are many more such weird things...

Who cares!
All this seems utter nonsense to me. I don't believe into them ever.
Whenever I'm said about it I asked simple question to them, WHY? To which no one had any answer. This is shocking!
You all are following something blindly coz old people would say so! How is that possible?
Today is Navratri and in that too it is not to cut nails, not to shave, not to sleep on bed during day time, not to stitch clothes, etc...
How weird all these things are I always wonder. Whenever I'm asked to follow them I always told my family that I want logical reason and if you can give me that I'll surely follow it or else I'll not. Never!

Today I wanted to cut nails and I did too.

I think everyday made by God is good and lucky. How is it that on some Gods particular day we're not supposed to do something. All these are mere matters of maintaining personal cleanliness. What has it got to do with any day?!

But thankfully my parents know it's of no use in making me understand their superstitious things hence now neither I interfere in their superstitious matters and protest against it and ask them to follow my logical ways nor they say me to follow their ideologies.

We follow our beliefs.
Actually speaking that's what it is, our belief, which plays with us!
Who believe into it it'll happen same way with him who doesn't nothing could happen to him!

I don't think there could be any scientific reason into it, ever!

A letter from newly wed daughter

Dear mom,

Like every normal girl, I was excited about marriage right from my childhood days. I never thought beyond the time that I would spend happily with my prince charming. But today when I am married, I realize that marriage is not all roses. It’s not just about being with your beloved and having a gala time. There is so much more to it. It comes with its own share of responsibilities, duties, sacrifices and compromises. I can’t wake up anytime I want to. I am expected to be up and ready before everyone else in the family. I can’t laze around in my pyjamas throughout the day. I am expected to be presentable every time. I can’t just go out anytime I want to. I am expected to be sensitive to the needs of the family. I just can’t hit the bed anytime I want to. I am expected to be active and around the family. I can’t expect to be treated like a princess but am supposed to take care of everyone else in the family. And then I think to myself, ‘why did I get married at all?’ I was happier with you, mom.  Sometimes I think of coming back to you and getting pampered again. I want to come home to my favorite food cooked by you every evening after a nice outing with friends. I want to sleep on your laps like I have no worry in this world.  But then I suddenly realize, had you not got married and made such sacrifices in your life, I wouldn’t have had so many wonderful memories to hang on to. And suddenly, the purpose of all this becomes clear- to return the same comfort, peace and happiness to my new family that I got from you. And I am sure that as time would pass, I would start loving this life equally as you do. Thank you mom for all the sacrifices and compromises you made. They give me the strength to do the same.
Love you.

Insanity

Yesterday while having interaction with one of the clients my brother came across something insane, no, in fact it's beyond insanity I would say.
The MAN had FOUR daughters from his FIRST wife, yeah, first coz then he married his wife's sister with his SECOND wife he had TWO more daughters!
So he have TWO wives and SIX daughters!
What would you say now MAN? I wished I could ask him! :-\
Hence proved it's fault of your sperms and not of your wives!
:-|
Men forgets that they too are responsible while having a child!
But they always and only know how and when to blame women!

PS: What kind of self respect does those TWO ladies and SIX daughters have?
Especially, first wife? That her husband needed a SON manufacturing machine and not a wife as a life partner!
Second lady, how could she marry such an insane man. Even after knowing about the narrow mindedness of her sisters husband she jumped into the same well wilfully where her sister by mistake went!
What guarantees that he'll not marry third time?

Those six girls, what does their life means? A mistake! That their father wanted a SON and in that hope that they're son they came into this life but they're now girl hence dejected!
Wow!
Wonderful!
Keep it up Man...

What's today is for today.

No matter what we do, things can never be same forever. So it's better to enjoy it now than to worry that in future it might not be like this!
Like people say, before marriage my partner was so loving and caring but now he/she has changed. Listening to these things from others we might take this issue as granted but that doesn't mean when someone is caring about you go and tell him all this is temporary and one day you too will ignore me or take me for granted. This could be the case but it could surely not be solved today. In futures tension one must not loose his/her present. Enjoy what you get today and be happy about it. Don't expect much and then you'll be happy always with whatever you get.

Also, it's not always possible to be present everywhere at the same time. We should decide our priority and then be happy at where we could be and enjoy it to the fullest. Coz anytime we'll be missing out on something or other.
Like if we have a family function and friends too have planned an outing then we could be present at only one place. Make your choice and whatever you chose enjoy that moment and not think and regret about one you can't attend.

Life is too short to have regrets about few trivial matter.
It's upon us!

My encounter with my dreams

Over the period of time everything changes. We physically change, mentally change, emotionally change and along with this changes our passion, priorities and even dreams.
While introspecting I encountered with one of my dream, which was an untouched dream that I had never known before as being so close to my heart.
Never mind I believe that life is too long to chase and accomplish all your dreams.
I'll too add this new one to my list and try making it reality soon.
:-)

Crucial time begins...

I'm just a month away from my 4th CA final attempt!
Yeah, it's 4th! And I have nothing in my hands from my previous 3 attempts, not even an exemption.
Many times people give up on their dreams in such circumstances. But my heart says,
"Feel like giving up? Turn around and look at how far you've travelled. You're almost there. Strive on and COMPLETE the journey"
I know that I'll be a CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT one day!
Pressure does builds up!

In this journey I've had few successful moments when I could achieve all the set targets and I could sleep at night happily! :-)
There are normal days when I could struggle to reach my target and fall asleep even before I could analyse how the day went! :-|
And there are days when I could do almost nothing! :-C At that time I could not sleep peacefully and even wake up with high regrets.
But ups and downs are the phases of life and it comes in everyone's life.
In these phases along with family and friends there is someone else too who is helping me to keep myself up and not feel down! ;)
It is songs :p
Songs play important role in everyone's life. Whenever I'm happy I listen normal melodious songs and feel calm and composed.
Whenever days are not much enthusiastic I listen rocking songs to energize myself, to keep myself going.
And for sad moments I've special songs, inspirational ones. They inspire me, if not today but tomorrow will be mine!

I just wish this 4th turn out to be last and I could crack this exam and become CA!
I've worked hard and smart both this time.
Lets see...
But I'm positive about everything! :-)

When the world says, "Give up", Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."

Lunch BOX

It is a story of people who are lonely despite of everything. Many women give their whole life for the happiness of her family, her husband, her children but very few times their sacrifice is understood and valued. It goes unnoticed mostly.
Many men realise it but sometimes it's too late!

There is a woman who doesn't know how to make her husband realise of the forgotten love between them. She tries to reach his heart through his stomach, as they say, har adami ke dil ka raasta uske pet se hokar guzarta hai...
But she doesn't succeed into the task as the lunch box reaches the wrong destination which turn out to be right. She shares her story with that unknown person who eats the lunch box prepared by her for her husband. This man is a government officer, old, rude, ugly, lonely too and about to take VRS and shift to Nashik after it. He is a widower.
They both exchange letters with each lunch box.
He give her tips as to how to bring back her marriage to life again but nothing seems to work. Sooner the woman realises that her husband is having an affair but she found no way out to leave him. Her father suffers from lung cancer due to smoking, her mother seems short of funds to even sponsor her husbands medicines. She had already lost her brother years ago when he commits suicide for failing in exam.
Her neighbor is one with whom she has a good report, they share recipies, gossips and help each other via a window. This neighbors husband is under comma since ages and she looks after him in hope of if not getting well but at least he being there alive for her.
One day the father dies and her mother discovers that she had been always worried about how she'll react when he dies but when the incident happens she found herself relieved of the burdened relationship that she had with her husband, that it was more of compulsion than love that she was with him.
There comes an incident where some women commits suicide by jumping from the building with her young daughter. The man after knowing this starts worrying about her and gets anxious till he receives the lunch box. In the lunch box the letter describes about same news. The man tries to make her understand that life is not about killing one self and it's never too unbearable to live it. While sharing these letters man too discovers what he has lost in his life. A dear wife who when needed her he too was not present then to enjoy the life with her but was busy into making money. Now when she is dead the loneliness creeps upon him and makes him rude with even small kids of his area whom he doesn't allow to play and if by mistake their ball lands into his gallery he doesn't return it to them and asks not to play near his house. There is one man whom he is supposed to train as he will be substituting him after his retirement. He even misbehave with this trainee and talks rudely, doesn't answer his questions and even go from office early but doesn't teach him. The trainee very patiently and modestly greet him daily. As time passes his loneliness too get side tracked with the letter that he writes back to her and it brings change in his behavior too. He starts interacting with the trainee normally, even shares his lunch box with him. Once even visits the trainee and has dinner with him and later becomes his guardian, as he turn out to be an orphan, in his marriage. Now he allows children to play and give back their ball.
One day the woman asks him to meet her at the venue and time written in the letter. He feels very excited and even gives a thought of not taking VRS. He gets ready like a young man going on his first date, he is nervous too.
She waits for him at the restaurant and waits and waits but he doesn't turn up. Next day she send him an empty lunch box with neither food nor the letter. The man accepts his mistake and writer to her that he did turn up and see her but he didn't found the courage to meet her coz he realises that he was too old, that he never realised when he lost himself in the walk of his lonely life and he found it unethical to meet her.
The woman complains the Dabbawala about the wrong delivery of her lunch box and asks for the address where they delivers her lunch box. Along with her daughter she goes to the office but soon she realises that the man has retired and left for Nashik.
She returns home and writes last letter to the man saying that she had sold her jewellery and packed her belongings and after her daughter returns from school she'll be leaving for Bhutan. Once when she had mentioned it into the letter the man had replied he'll come along with her to Bhutan.
She hopes that the letter will reach him if it would be destined to!

4G kid

On his fathers 60th birthday Ramesh gifts him one of best touch screen phone with all applications that could be useful for an old man in case of any emergency, GPS, Safety apps, etc.

Next day when the old man was alone at home he got calls from his son enquiring about him but the old man was unable to understand how to answer the call on such hi-tech mobile. The calls went unanswered. Son got worried about him but thought that his father might be asleep since it was afternoon time. Later in the evening the neighbour requests the old man to keep her daughter at his house till she comes from groceries. The old man agreed and was happy with some company.
After few moments old man's mobile rang and he was again puzzled as to understand how to answer it. He was worried that his son will be annoyed and might be worried too. But he was helpless. While the old man struggled the baby girl came near old man and slided her finger on the screen and the mobile stopped ringing. Old man wondered what she did but quickly placed the phone near his ears and then was able to hear his sons voice.

Lakshya!

Haan ye rasta hai tera
Tune ab jana hai...

Haan ye sapna hai tera
Tune pehchana hai...

Tujhe ab ye dikhana hai

Roke tujhko ANDHIYAN ya ZAMEEN aur AASAMA
Payega jo LAKSHYA hai tera

LAKSHYA ko har hal mein pana hai

Mushkil koi aajaye toh
Parvat koi takaraye toh
Takat koi dikhalaye toh
Tufan koi batalaye toh
Barse chahe Ambar se aag
Lipate chahe pairon se naag
Payega jo LAKSHYA hai tera

LAKSHYA ko har hal main pana hai

Himmat se jo koi chale
Dharti hile kadmon tale
Kya duriyan, kya faasle
Manzil lage aake gale

Tu chal yunhi ab subho-sham
Rukna-jhukna nahi tera kaam
Payega jo LAKSHYA hai tera

LAKSHYA ko har hal mein pana hai!
